Unsold Slaves Returned as Heroes - Chapter 42



42. Najak River gets too big

One-on-one tutoring continued. Although there are individual differences, all the 20 coffins of earth I picked were full of determination.

Some of them jump out a bit and feel uneasy, but since we’re just starting out, we just have to take it slow.

As I was preparing materials in the professor’s office and leaving the dormitory to meet the next student, I heard a harsh noise.

“Yayaya, slave trader! Stand there!”

“Professor, Coffin of the Earth! I have a favor to ask!”

There were two people who came running towards me with terrifying momentum. A small halfling and a big hunk.

It was Pelia and Kulan.

Pelia is like that, but Kulan has never spoken to her. What is it?

“Slave trader! Are you really lucky? How did a talent like Testia get into your dorm? Why didn’t such a wizard come to the water coffin!”

Phelia sighed. I leaned over her and met her gaze with her.

“It’s not a simple reason. Because Testia students have the most to learn from me.”

“Say something that makes sense! Already finished scanning thousand years, no. A magical genius that may or may not appear in 10,000 years? Under me, the sage, a great man who will change history will be born!”

“I don’t want you to learn magic yourself.”

“Ha? Don’t you do that? Do you know what a loss that is to human history? Hey, are you still a professor?”

“Of course. It’s not the role of helping students find the path they want.”

“This crazy… ! Then change it right away. You know? A talent who came to the Mage Tower in a thousand years. I’ll give it to you, so change it!”

“Professor, Jacey is my colleague. Is that what you want to do?”

Kulan, who had been deprived of the right to speak by Pelia, rebelled.

Dragon Knight Kulan. He is the protagonist of the original work with the Mark of the Hero. Jacey is one of the heroines associated with him.

Of course, my answer is fixed.

“No need. It’s not even worth it in the first place. Our Testia is much more expensive. Besides, I’ve never traded people in my merchant career.”

“Ha! Then what would you give me in exchange for it?”

“I don’t mind bringing the whole water coffin, but if I had to pick one, that would be it.”

As I sighed, Pelia’s eyes lit up with anticipation.

From noble mtl dot com

“I will consider it if you exchange it with .”

“What do you mean? Who will teach the Testia students without me?”

I raised the corner of my mouth and pointed at my name tag.

“… What? You want to make me your slave? Mr. Gee!”

Only then did Felia realize that she had been fooled by me, and turned her body around her back with her face reddening.

I asked the remaining kulan.

“What about you?”

“I want a rematch with Prosecutor Lucas.”

It’s a rematch. Looks like Luca broke the kulan properly during the band’s lecture.

Even if I only checked some skills, I am well aware of the fact that Luka’s level is very high.

“Why are you going to have a rematch when you can’t win anyway?”

“What? It wasn’t a proper sparring in the first place. You weren’t watching, were you?”

“It’s obvious without looking at it. If you want to share the sum with Lucas, at least level up and come. The scribbles on the back of your hand do not make you invincible.”

Now, Kulan is no longer a hero.

The mark of a hero is a sign that that person is a candidate for a hero.

You must endlessly train and cut yourself to overcome the wall before you are finally born as a hero.

Hearing what I said, Kulan frowned. If I touched it a little more, it was going to hit me.

Kulan at this time has a conceited, belligerent, and unconventional personality.

I have gotten better after going through various incidents at the academy, but those are events that have mostly disappeared now that the Demon King’s Army has disappeared.

“The level. You seem familiar with Lucas, Professor.”

“Of course not. My student. At least bring With you. Until then, don’t disturb Lucas, it’s a waste of time.”

“Huh! Did you know that I can’t even reach 4 priests? Good. I’ll give you anything At that time, you will also be on your knees.”

Coolan stomped his feet and went back, snorting.

“Sah, that’s bloody…. Professor, would it be all right if you pretended to be with the water tube?”

Sersi jumped out and worried about me. I answered lightly.

“It’s okay. Both Testia and Lucas are looking for aptitudes other than magic and swordsmanship. They are just a nuisance.”

“Neither of you seemed like you were going to give up.”

“At that time, I have to block it again. Isn’t that kind of a role in the first place? Time is running out, so let’s go to the next student.”

I moved on.

***

“Aww.”

Tia, who had been secretly listening to Wicker in the coffin hallway of the earth, leaned against her wall, clutching her chest.

“Luca, can you see if my heart is okay? I think I burst out of happiness.”

“I can’t. Mine has already exploded.”

Likewise, Luca, standing next to Tia, closed her eyes and enjoyed Wicker’s words.

“Can I be this happy? The owner is only taking care of us like this….”

“I got static electricity.”

When Tia and Luca were engulfed in a soft blanket, Yuri pulled her chin.

‘I should have done something too.’

Still, it’s a nuisance to do something that would cause the master to worry.

I was the first one to step out when Xuehua encountered something unreasonable.

Even Tia caught the attention of the other chair professors without much thought.

‘Why do Tia and Luca get more attention from Master than I do?’

Yuri’s head was filled with many thoughts. At the end of that cycle, some cracks have formed with the conclusion.

‘Master still thinks of us as children.’

‘So it might be natural to be interested in a child who can take care of a child who can take care of it rather than a calm child….’

‘… I want to get more attention from Master.’

If Wicker’s current interest is insufficient, it wasn’t.

He always gives and cares for them, just like in the old days. He felt like he was finally making up for the lonely time away from him.

The problem is that we are ‘those’.

Every time she spends time with Wicker, her desire to only look at herself instead of Luca and Tia grows deeper.

‘It was in the middle of a match.’

Yuri woke up again.

Even when I was a slave as a child, even now when I became a warrior.

I always thought it was natural to do everything with Lucana and Tia, who were like real sisters, and hang out together, and that’s how it was until now.

She somehow thought, for the first time, that she shouldn’t.

‘… What the master needs most right now.’

Excellent student.

She is a reassuring student who can even cover all the other students.

… I have to let them know that I’m no longer a child to take care of.

Yuri vowed that she would definitely show her true face on the day she went to the actual dungeon.

***

A week passed and the time for the second lecture on Dungeon Studies came.

It feels like a routine has been established to some extent after going around one lap. Of course, we are always ready to deal with variables.

When she entered the classroom, the atmosphere was very different from the first class last week.

It took a little longer for the buzz to subside. Numerous eyes focused on me.

I walked to the classroom, activated the whiteboard, and looked around at the students.

One hundred twenty.

All students have filled the classroom up to the limit.

“I can’t call attendance.”

It started with a light joke. The students who entered the course correction shouted at me.

“I heard rumors and came in!”

“I heard that the thesis you published will be included in the Royal Library of the Kingdom!”

“I heard that you can go to the dungeon with the hero-slayer Lucas in this lecture!”

“I want to go with Testia-nim!”

“Is the rumor true that if you listen hard enough, you will receive the fruits of your experience?”

There was also a scene where Shion, sitting in the front seat, biting her nails.

“Only I have to listen… Who has all the rumors… It’s ruined!”

I started to write with a smile on the whiteboard.

“Let’s start the lecture. Today, let’s look at how to organize party members according to the type of dungeon.”

All the students focus on my letters and voice.

I often look back at Lucca, Tia, and Yuri. All three of them write diligently in their notebooks with smiles on their faces as to what makes them so happy.

On the way, I held up a bag of candy and said.

“So far, does anyone have any questions?”

Every student in the classroom raised their hands.

***

“Something is strange.”

Sword Saint Aisha intuited that things were going wrong.

It has already been over a month since he was appointed to the academy. During that time, she taught swordsmanship as an instructor and taught many students.

“Why is nothing happening?”

When she came to the academy, she imagined that she would immediately carry young male students on her arms, but the reality was very different from her wish.

Wake up, lecture, training, sleep.

She was living a very healthy day.

“There is nothing different from when I was in the army! Why did this happen?!”

That was natural.

A relationship between a man and a woman is a way to start with a conversation.

Even if you’re in the same room for a long time, you don’t even know their name unless you talk to them.

No, you can tell the name by looking at the name tag.

What kind of crazy student would dare to talk to her first, a war hero and general of the empire, the only three Sword Saints on the continent.

Her students, as well as any of her teaching staff, admired her like her lofty work of art, but couldn’t say anything about her recklessly.

She sometimes pretends to hold her posture and touches the bodies of her handsome boys.

‘Ugh, sorry! I will correct it!’

Only shouts full of spirit and seriousness returned. She never goes over in a weird mood.

“Even wearing one of her girlfriends in one week! Borrian has three of them already!”

It was only natural considering that spring marked a new beginning, the environment of living together in a dormitory, and healthy adult men and women.

“I can’t do this.”

It is time for young men and women to decide on a partner to watch the upcoming Euncheong Festival together. If it was later, it was obvious that he would end up drinking alone at the academy’s biggest festival.

“Who… Someone to consult with.”

Aisha realized that her own circle of friends was very narrow.

The only people I could talk to at the academy were Lucas, Testia, and Yuri.

“They haven’t dealt well with me these days….”

Ah, I don’t know. Let’s go visit

Aisha recklessly moved her steps toward the ground coffin dormitory.

When I went inside, there was no sign of anyone.

‘There aren’t many people here?’

There was usually no one in the dormitory except for the janitor during the daytime when there were lectures.

Especially, all the first-year students of the Earth Hall were in a state of preparation for the upcoming Dungeon Studies lecture.

‘Where is Lucas’ room? .’

Aisha used resonance lightly. It is a skill that allows Aura users to search for opponents. I quickly found traces of Luka and walked down the hallway on the left on the first floor and entered a room.

“Oh, what. The room is nice.”

Are you using something better than me? Can this be treated as a swordsman? It was when Aisha grumbled and looked at the bed, which had only a slight remnant of Luca’s aura on it.

The door burst open and someone came in. Aisha, who was about to greet her Luca, instinctively hid under her bed because of her habit of dealing with assassins.

It was because the person who came in wasn’t Lucas.

‘What is it? Man? What are you doing in Lucas’ room? Should I kill him?’

Aisha checked his name tag.

‘Huh?’

It was someone I knew. Before she could think of anything more, Ayesha had to stop her mouth.

Because the slave trader, as if this were his room, began to take off her top to change her clothes.
