Unsold Slaves Returned as Heroes - Chapter 46



46. Chair professors are going to play against each other?!

The Holy Mulan Cetanta returned to the wind coffin, leading a weak body that seems to fall in the wind.

She was holding a small greening crystal ball in her hand. There, the battle of words between Wicker and Pelia that had just taken place was clearly filmed.

“I like young kids because they are full of energy. The president, the slave trader, and the kid are all very passionate. hehehe, cute.”

A passer-by Found Mulan and said hello. He snooped around the crystal ball and became interested.

“Oh, Professor Pedia and Professor Alencia? Looks like you’ve had another round?”

“This is Ruel. Are you familiar with Professor Pedia?”

“Yes. I’m listening to dungeon studies…. What is it, the two of you will compete at the lecture presentation tomorrow?! Wow! Can I copy this?!”

“Poohup. Then. However much.”

Ruel took an empty crystal ball out of her pocket, copied the video quickly, and ran to the common room where the other students were.

“Yayaya, a big event tomorrow! Who to bet on!”

Mulan looked at him and let out an exhausted smile.

“I hope there are many fun things. Young kids.”

“hehehe, hehehehe.”

Tia left the coffin of her land, humming her song. She set it up perfectly than usual. It’s a secret that she boldly loosened the knots on her clothes a little bit.

‘The owner said he was coming to see the president early in the morning. It must be over soon, right?’

On the way to meet Wicker, the steps were light. The blond hair that gently flows down each strand is blown away by the spring breeze.

The scenery of the academy was a bit different from usual. Non-students and non-faculty members were also strolling around the grounds.

There were also small families and large family units, but the ratio of only two lovers was quite high. From that appearance, she was Tia who looked at herself and Wicker and laughed bashfully.

‘Oh, no. It’s not the time to relax.’

Today, Wicker can be occupied, but tomorrow, Yuri, and the day after tomorrow, Luca have a date.

It’s been a while since my thoughts became this complicated.

I also have a desire to be the first of Wicker. However, the time he spends with the four of them is more precious than anything else.

Should I say that asking Wicker out on a date was the result of that complicated mind?

I didn’t want to be left behind by Yuri, who went out alone.

Luka was also stimulated by Yuri, and on the third day, she seemed to have an appointment with Wicker, so she thought she didn’t have to pay attention.

I want to be chosen, but wouldn’t it be nice if Wicker didn’t choose anyone for the time being?

Tia had such thoughts in her subconscious. That’s how much she liked the time the four of them were together.

‘Still, Yuri and Luka will really appeal to the owner tomorrow and the day after tomorrow….’

Now I have to enjoy it too.

After all, it’s a first date!

Tia moved her steps to meet Wicker in a high spirits.

On the way, she was passing in front of the wind coffin.

“Oh, there it is!”

“Testia!”

“Miss Testia!”

A few students from the Crown of Wind rushed to Ururu Tia. They were students who had formed a party together during the usual Dungeon Studies lecture.

“Oh, good morning everyone!”

Tia greeted me warmly. Students excitedly bombarded Tia with her questions.

“I heard it could be transferred to the water pipe!”

“Professor Alencia went crazy? Were you told beforehand?”

“Professor Pedia was really cool!”

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

“What, haven’t you heard yet? Lecture presentation!”

I was taken aback when Tia heard the story for the first time. One student played the video with a crystal ball.

After confirming her contents, Tia covered her mouth and sighed.

“Professor Pedia, can you win? The opponent is a sage… Uh, Testia!”

Tia couldn’t reply any longer and started running. Her clothes were disheveled, but she didn’t care. She sprinted towards the place she had agreed with Wicker.

Under a silvery blue tree, Wicker was waiting for Tia as if nothing had happened.

“Welcome.”

Her heart warmed up when she saw his kind face. She hung her head down before wiping the sweat from her face as she ran.

“I’m sorry, because of me… !”

Wicker came up to her and lifted her shoulders. Looking at his face, she didn’t think of stopping her heavy breathing yet.

Wicker took out her handkerchief and dabbed Tia’s sweat off her.

“You didn’t do anything wrong. Don’t apologize.”

“I used magic without thinking….”

From anyone’s point of view, Tia was not responsible for the current situation. Rather, she was caught up in a nuisance that might end up taking her magic lessons, which she didn’t want.

But Tia felt responsible for having caused her wicker to get in the way.

“hahahaha, it must be wrong to be excellent. I’ve been thinking that Pelia needs to be touched. She was just fine There is something to be gained by winning.”

Wicker spoke kindly to Tia, and it felt like her chest, which had just been cold, warmed up. The words he said in the video I watched a while ago lingered in my head.

-You shouldn’t have touched our Tia.

‘… Laugh.’

Like an idiot, she tries to forget everything and become happy, but she feels sorry for herself.

I like it though.

I can’t stand it.

Tia wrapped Wicker’s arm as tightly as she could and clung to it.

“Yes. Mr. Wicker is a room like that. Hey, let’s go take a look! Shall we start with the scoop exhibition in Minsk?”

I shouldn’t say more depressing things.

How could I not smile when my master did this for me?

“Yes. Do not worry.”

“I don’t do anything! Instead, will you help me prepare for tomorrow’s lecture after checking all the presentations of the earth coffin friends?”

“Hmm. I have a favor to ask of you.”

“Really? What topic will you be lecturing on?”

“It’s obvious that Felia will give a magic lecture.”

“Because I am a wise man. I might announce a new higher order spell or magic theory.”

“So I’m going to give a lecture on magic too.”

“Oh.”

Tia widened her eyes.

―Let’s start the 2nd round of the tournament’s semi-finals! Zujiang, enter the Hall of Fire ! Wu Gang, Enter the Earth Coffin !

The moderator priest shouted so that it could be heard throughout the 2nd arena. A packed audience cheers.

In the waiting room, I looked back at Mark holding a spear on a horse.

“Are you ready, Marc? If we win, it will be the final.”

“This is the final. Let’s do something.”

He checked Mark’s spear and saddle one last time. He snapped the helmet blindfold down.

“Whoa!”

Marc let out a breath and pulled the reins. His favorite horse sprints toward the arena with its mane fluttering nicely.

Jousting.

It is a presentation event attended by students who use spears as their main weapons, such as knights, spearmen, and cavalry soldiers.

In the first year of the Hall of the Earth, three people, Rihum, Bob, and Mark participated, and Mark advanced to the semifinals. Considering that it’s a freshman year, it’s a great score.

“Seeing it in person, the thrill is amazing.”

Beside Tiado, he was having fun throughout the game.

“Looking at each other and running in a straight line is the rule that all wins can be won with just one contest. There is a different tension from the real battle.”

“Really. Marc, win!”

From noble mtl dot com

With the start signal, the mark speeds up. The opponent’s words and the sound of horses’ hooves mix, and dust rises.

Close distance. Mark is focused. Chae Chaeng! Spears compete with each other, so Ilhap cannot match each other.

“What a waste!”

The players start preparing for the 2nd match. I signaled to Mark. The opponent was the type to hold the spear short, so it meant to put more weight on it than to dig in for a long time.

Mark nodded his head.

Dagdak, dagdak!

Two horses start towards each other. The distance narrows again. Marc instinctively bent down and twisted 30 degrees to the left.

Paaang!

Mark’s spear slid off the opponent’s spear and hit the shoulder with the tip. The double-made tourney armor breaks into pieces and explodes. The opponent fell off his horse and rolled on the ground.

― The winner! Earth’s Coffin !

Mark tightened the reins and vigorously raised his spear toward the sky. Thunderous cheers and applause erupt.

“Mark, Nice!!”

Tia was just as happy about it as it was her job. I was satisfied and applauded.

But Mark did not return to the waiting room and suddenly jumped off his horse. He ran to the opposing player, who was still unable to move due to a fall.

Marc tried to raise

Cecily the Lancer by helping him.

Cecily pushed Mark’s chest as if she came to her senses just then. He threw off his helmet and he yelled something at Mark.

“Why are you like that, him? If you lose, go in quietly.”

Midway through, Cecily burst into tears as if she was quite resentful.

The next scene was quite unexpected. It was because Marc held Cecily in his arms without hesitation. Cecily also entrusted herself to Mark without hesitation.

“Hmm.”

Marc cried out to Cecily. What if I dedicate the championship to you?

A louder cheer than ever erupted from the audience. Turning to his Tia, he was slightly biting his tongue and resting his hands on his cheeks.

“What is it? Were you originally dating? Don’t talk too soon.”

“I mean. I was beaten by Mark.”

Winning should be given to the crown of the earth, you bastard.

When did you meet the student of the Fire Coffin?

I often forget that students aren’t the only ones listening to my lectures.

… Would you like to reduce the amount of assignments in the future?

Except Mark.

“Still, it looks nice. Isn’t this just like an official couple?”

“It must be hard to break up.”

“Why are you thinking of breaking up? You can even get married that way.”

“hahahaha, of course it could be.”

When Tia heard my answer, she put on a puzzled expression.

“Mr. Wicker.”

“Yes.”

“Has she ever had a girlfriend?”

I shrugged at Tia’s cute question.

“A lie.”

Tia frowned seriously as if in shock.

There were many women who approached me, but I never really met her because she had to move from place to place because of her trading job.

But Tia’s expression was funny, so it was a shame for her to answer straight away. She feels like confessing that you guys have a hidden mother.

“What is it, what is it? Will you get scolded if I don’t answer?”

Tia sneaked up on me, so I looked at her and she ran away. It wasn’t long before she was caught and she confessed the truth.

Marc, who went up to the finals, was defeated in a match like a lie and finished runner-up.

So the victory should have been given to the crown of the earth.

The red sunlight pouring through the peaks dyed the fluttering blue diamonds a regrettable violet.

As if to say don’t worry and promise tomorrow, the silver and blue petals that are still in full bloom on the tree gently flutter and caress you deep in your heart.

After checking all the presentations of the Earth Hall students on the first day, I returned to the dormitory with Tia.

“Gyo, gyo, professor! Are you okay?!”

Sersi ran out in a hurry. She had a bunch of papers in her arms.

“There is nothing wrong with that. What is it?”

“I heard you are having a lecture presentation with Professor Alencia tomorrow! Well, first of all, I’ve been gathering helpful materials… !”

“hahahaha, no problem. I’m thinking of making the material from now on. I have a reliable assistant here.”

I put my hand on Tia’s shoulder.

“Assistant Professor, please take good care of me!”

“Wow, the presentation is tomorrow morning, right? Uh, let’s get started!”

Sersi hurried back to the office. Tia and I also prepared the work.

“Mr. Wicker, have you already thought of the topic for the lecture? What materials do you need?”

“Wee, Mr. Wicker?”

Sersi was taken aback when she heard Tia call me by the name. She’s even sitting next to me and pulling her body closer. It was a good picture to misunderstand Sersi.

“You should say Professor.”

“Oh, could it be that the associate professor will spread the word? Right, Associate Professor?”

“Uh… Eh? School, Professor?”

Seeing Sersi embarrassed by Tia, she smiled happily.

“Don’t be weird, Sersi. You should also restrain yourself, Testia.”

“I don’t like it.”

“I don’t like it, but it’s short talk.”

“Why? Luca is also rude.”

“He is… Mmm.”

“Hey. The bewildered Mr. Wicker is also cute. All right. I’ll be serious from now on, professor. Would you like some candy?”

Tia lightly put the candy on my palm before I knew it. It was different from what I was carrying.

It tastes like yuzu.

“I am deaf, I am blind, I am dumb, I am deaf, I am blind….”

Sersi muttered and sat across from her. I picked up a feather pen.

[Shorthand Lv.9 Activates]

I write down the information in my head on parchment in an instant. If you write only keywords, the sentence you want is automatically completed. Convenient.

Tia, who was reading the contents next to her, raised her question.

“Didn’t you say it was a magic lecture?”

“Eh, magic lecture?! Are you going to stick with Professor Alencia by magic?”

“Yes. You have to teach other subjects to lose popularity, so you can’t get a high evaluation. It’s only magic to intuitively compare and press.”

“But what you just wrote is merchant technology… should I say?”

“Monetology. It’s the logic of merchants. And.”

Continue writing by turning to the second page.

“The origins of all things are similar.”

“Mana is a gold coin and magic hierarchy… Wow I’ve never thought of it like this before.”

Tia read her words, her eyes twinkling. I asked her

“I need a demonstration in the middle of this.”

“Aha, that’s why. I’ll let you know.”

Sersi, who was staring blankly at us, slowly raised her hand.

“Can you explain me too… ?”

Me and Tia put down the wad of parchment written on in front of Sersi.

“Please review.”

“Data please!”
