Chapter 263 - Teaching The Air Mages For Real This Time
The next day, everyone returned to training. With me teaching the two air mages again. This time for real.
The two air mages already know the limit of their air magic yesterday. After the volleyball match.
Yeah, everyone became so motivated after that final between my team and Albert's. It was amazing the effect of trying to smack his face to everyone here.
I just wanted to smack his face with the ball. After that, I just made up reasons Why I did that. Valid excuses which only truths were spoken. Albert understand that, and he made me play along with him. Good thing it worked.
Now, I am teaching the two air mages who has prepared to learn. I think even if I told them to go dive underwater again, they will comply this time and not making excuse like not wanting their clothes wet again.
We still train on the beach, but this time, it's crowded with kids who played volleyball. It has become popular activity for everyone. Other than the kids, there are some people who played it when they are not training.
"Now, the first thing I want to teach is Air Shot. I'll give you each a rifle. I made this from the scale of a monster. Don't complain about how it looks. I did my best."
I gave the two air mages one rifle each. I just need for it to has a barrel with one open end, a bigger place for the compressed air, and a place for the projectiles. I made it so it can fire a stone or pebble.
"This look terrible."
"Not cute at all."
"You two are going to make me cry! If you want the real thing, it will look like this! I asked Marie to build some of these, but she has other things to create first. Just make do with those two!"
I said while transforming Victoria into a better shaped rifle to show them. Once Marie prepared new rifles for them, those ugly rifles will be exchanged.
"Sigh… anyway, here's how you do it. First, compress some air in this area, then aim for the target, and burst the compressed air. That's simple."
I demonstrate how to use it, and aim at the target practice I made. The shot went right through the middle of the target. I did it again one more time and hit different target perfectly.
"It's simple. Just compress air, aim, and shoot. And it didn't take much mana. I think you two can at least shoot about one hundred times at this stage. Today, your goal is to hit the target from twenty meters distance. That's about the same distance that mages would cast their magic to attack their opponent. By the way, the recoil is pretty strong. It might affect the aim. So, hold the rifle as steady as you can."
The girls already excited to try it. So, I asked Oleg's wife to do it first.
She aimed at the closest target, which is just five meters ahead. She fires the bullet, but the recoil is too strong for her. She stepped back just from one shot. As for her shot…
"I hit it!"
"No, you don't! Your target is the five meters ahead, but you hit the one thirty meters away!"
"Isn't it good that I can hit from that distance?"
"It's good if you actually hit the one you targeted! If it's the real thing, I will be the one who get shot when the war happens!"
The one she hits was thirty meters away from us. And the practice targets weren't set in one row. But some are on the right of the five meters one, or on the left side. As for the one she hits, it's the furthest to the right.
I'm worried that our ally will be the one who will get shot.
"The recoil is too strong. I'm not strong enough for this." Oleg's wife complained.
"Then you need to compress less air. That way, the shot will be weaker and you can't shoot long distance. But at least you can handle the recoil. You don't have to put the same strength on every shot. You can alter it between weak or strong. If you can't defeat your enemy with the strength that you put, at least you can annoy them. Now, try again! This time, hit the one you aimed!"
This time, Oleg's wife put smaller amount of air compressed into the rifle, and shot the target. She hits it! Although unlike my shot, her bullet doesn't pierce it. And it just grazed the side of the target. But at least it's an improvement.
"Good. Now, get used to it little by little. Practice until you know how much amount of air that you can stand, and the distance you can reach. Don't bother much about the power. That can be taken care of once you get stronger. For today, your target is the one in twenty meters. Try to aim closer to the middle. Next, you!" I asked the agent to do it this time.
"By the way, you haven't said any of our names since the start of the lesson. Don't tell me that you don't remember our names?" The agent asked.
"…my memory sucks. I won't be able to memorize too many names." I said.
"…fine. I'll forgive you for that at least. His majesty already warned me about this."
The agent forgives me, then she started to aim at the target practice.
And what did she mean about Albert warned her? Don't tell me that he's actually making fun of me?
I'm fine as long as I know your face, okay? As long as I know that you're our allies, it will be fine.
The agent tried to do it with according to my instructions, and after witnessing Oleg's wife's practice.

Her first shot missed by only a few centimeters. I guess that's what I can expect from an experienced agent.
Then her next shot was close to the middle of the target. And the bullet almost pierce through the target.
"Well, that's good. You both managed to do it after two tries. You can also put some other magic later. For example, wind magic to alter the direction, or fire magic to burn the bullet, and hit the enemy while it's hot. I think that will give more damage to the enemy if the level of your fire element is low. Now, continue until you hit the target!"
I ordered the two to continue shooting. I made another target so both of them can practice together.
After one hour, the agent managed to hit the twenty meters distance target slightly on the edge, and Oleg's wife just scratch the target. That's good enough for me. They can practice on their own later.
"Alright, good job. Now we will practice other thing. We will need someone to practice this on, but I'll teach you what you can do on your own for now. Does any one of you is a fire mage?"
The agent raised her hand.
"I see. Have you trained your fire magic yesterday? Or two days ago?"
"Yes, I have."
"Good. Create a fire on your fingertip. Concentrate while making it as big as you can."
The agent did as I said. The fire is about the size of a human's head. Which is pretty good since fire is difficult to control. At least that's what I heard.
"Alright. Keep concentrating and make it last as long as possible."
Then put my hands close to the fire, and use air magic. I made non-flammable gas around it. just enough to make the fire smaller.
"What!? How did this happen? I'm sure I'm giving my all in this!" The agent was shocked.
"Actually. There are many types of air. Or should I say gases. I used air magic, to create non-flammable gas around your fire. Next is flammable gas."
This time, the fire above her fingertip got bigger. So big that she can't handle it anymore, so she has to stop her magic so it won't go wild.
"That one just now is flammable gas. Don't think that air magic is useless. It can change the properties of air around you. What I can do is not much at the moment. Flammable gas, non-flammable gas, sleeping gas, and some others. Since you have a fire element, the flammable gas is good to make your fire bigger. And if your enemy is a fire mage, you can make your enemy's fire magic disappear into nothing. Air magic is awesome, right? By the way, I'm also a doctor. I can use air magic to relieve pain during surgery, and create anesthetic gas. For other types of gases, please ask Victoria. She knows much more than me."
I said that as I let Victoria turns into her human form. She will be the one teaching them from now.
I guess that mean I have nothing else to teach.
While no one is looking, I opened a portal back to Cassau. I wanted to eat some sweets today. No one can bake a cake in that island since there's no ingredients for it. I'll just make sure that no one knows about it.
Oh, right! I'll buy some sweets to bribe those who realize it. That should be good enough, right?
Chapter 264 - Survival Training
A week has passed since the training camp started. Today, we're planning to explore the nearby islands for practice. They need to use what they learn on real target after all. Though some decided to stay since they don't want to fight. Like the wives of the participants. Oleg's wife also chooses to stay. They will take care of the children while the other will leave the island.
The plan is to stay in other islands overnight. There are about 5 islands filled with monsters, so the participants will be grouped with anyone they want. As for me, I will watch them from above. I will move from island to island to check on everyone's progress.
The only monsters they have fought after training were just the Werewolves. And the result most of the time, the Werewolves win. Though some of the participants shows potentials and able to defeat a Werewolf in a one-on-one combat.
But if they only fight against the Werewolves, they won't be able to adapt in fighting against other monsters. That's why they will try to survive in other islands. I will only help when it's necessary.
Lina and some other summoners only sent their monsters. I don't know about tamers. Do they increase the level of taming element in the same way as summoning element? I don't know. I didn't ask some tamers among the participants. But those tamers decided to go so they can find strong monsters to make a contract with.
"Alright! Now, go to your desired islands on your own!" I said as the opening of the survival practice.
"Wait! You're not transporting us with portals?" Albert protested.
He will join the survival as well. Though, I doubt he will do much. The people in his group are those who are loyal to the king and don't want Albert to do anything. But at least his intention in joining the survival is good. Well, Shirley and Mustache are with him, so he will be fine.
"I won't. You all have learned many things in the past few days. Why don't you just build a boat, or even a bridge to cross the sea and get to your island? Some of you have received a map to reach any islands in the area, right? Just go by yourself. It's not like I can use portals to help you at all time. The time limit is in two days. In two days, if some of you haven't returned after it's dark, only then I will find you and bring you back here. You can return anytime you want before the time limit. It's just a training after all. Let's see… I will patrol the islands every hour. When it's night, I will only patrol once or twice. If you want to return, but have difficulties in returning on your own, give me a signal. I placed some Blobbies and pouches filled with soil for contacting Sonia, in some places I think safe. Just tap the pouch once to call Sonia, twice for me to open a portal to that Blobbies so you can return, and three times if it's an emergency. If it's an emergency, I will go there with portal right away."
I informed everyone about the rule during the survival training.
"As for your meal, think about it yourself. You can go to your destination anytime you want. That's all from me. Good luck."
After finished telling everyone about the rule, I went to go diving for a bit. There are lots of giant pearls near this island. I haven't finished getting all of them yet.
If you own a mouse, you have to play this game. No Install. Play for free.Panzer.Quest strategy game
As for patrolling, I can take my time. And I don't think anyone here is stupid enough to leave right away. They must be getting some supplies first before they leave. Water and foods.
By the time I get enough pearls, I surfaced and see that some people are already leaving. Some are using boats made of earth magic, some fly with wind magic, and some freeze some part of the water and walk. They are all have become more creative than before. It's also a lesson that I taught after finished teaching summoning element and air element. Just like what I taught Jewel before she awakened her magic. To do anything you can with your abilities.
Don't tell me that I'm talented to be a teacher? If so, that's awesome!
"Roy, what are you thinking?" Sonia asked me after I resurfaced from the sea. She's been following me for a while already. Or more like following Victoria.
"I'm thinking that I might be a good teacher." I said proudly.
"Hah! If you can't even remember the name of your students, you are not a good teacher at all!" Victoria laughed.
Hmm… she's right. Well, doesn't matter. I prefer to be a clown.
I think Thomas has found some people with potentials to be in the circus. Though they will need to be tested first. If they can perform well, Thomas will consider recruiting them. And those people are all Albert's agents. Which mean that once Thomas' circus troupe went on tour around the world, they will be doing some scouting around the world to find the whereabouts of the current cult's HQ and their research lab located.
But it will still take some time until the world tour can be achieved. Thomas need to make his circus famous in this kingdom first. Once the circus' fame well-known to other kingdoms, the circus will start its world tour.
Now, it's finally time for me to patrol.
There's only one way for me to be able to patrol five different islands quickly. By running on air.
Right now, I'm just barely faster than Shelia, the fastest Werewolf. I won't let her surpass me anytime soon though.
I run on air with a Black Slime on my shoulder, and a ghost by my side. It seems like everyone is doing fine since no one has contacted Sonia.
Everyone should be going to the safe place before exploring any further. Well, that's how a normal people would plan. Some might have prepared a camp, and some only passing by to memorize the location where I put the Blobbies at.
First island.
Albert is here. He's doing well with his group members defeating the monsters. He only defeats the leftover. Even Shirley defeated more monsters. Seems like even if this is a practice, no one is willing to put the king's life in danger. As for the princess, even when the others told her that it's dangerous, she's still going forward to defeat monsters on her own.

That's not the plan Shirley would have made. She must have been irritated since she's not getting any action. She should have joined another group.
As for other groups in this island, they are doing fine.
Second island.
I see Kron is flying alone. He's always said that he's bad in group battle and would choose fighting on his own. I want to greet him mid-flight, but it seems he's being targeted by a monster with a long-range attack from below.
…he's doing fine. I won't bother him.
Oh, the air mage is here. She's the agent. And she's supporting his group and sometimes other groups as well by sniping them from distance. From what she shows me, I think her Air Shot is effective within fifty meters distance. Nice.
This island is done. Next is the third island.
I said that this island has the most beautiful landscape despite the monsters. That's why almost everyone here is girls. There's no other group. Just one big group enjoying having fun in this island. Seems like they take turns in having fun and being on watch duty. Well, I don't mind them doing this.
The leader of this group is… Celestine and Veronica. Along with the girls from my clan. Kayla, Sophie, Candy, and Jewel. But the one doing the leading is either Celestine or Veronica. Maybe one of them is the vice leader? As for Shirley, she's with Albert. And Angela is at the fifth island. Which has the strongest lineups of monsters. Lina is staying behind and sent Elsie and Sunny to this island.
The fourth island… is where Hill's people and Oleg's people is.
They seem to have a friendly competition. With Hill as the leader of one side, and Oleg with the other. They tried to defeat more monsters than the other. I think that's a good idea. But why is Hill and his people only in their underwear? That's poison to my eyes.
The fifth island.
Angela, Shirley, and other Werewolves are here. Including some people who want to test their limit, I guess. Some of them are already injured. Good thing that they have some healers with them.
The healers are quite strong in their other elements. Maybe they're mainly focusing in their other elements first before improving their healing element.
Angela and the Werewolves were not in a group. They choose to separate. Just like Kron, but against harder opponents. Well, Kron also having it hard when he's being targeted by multiple monsters already. Maybe Kron's goal is actually to get more experience when he's being surrounded?
I guess everyone is doing fine. I'll go back to the villa and patrol again later.
Chapter 265 - Sharks' Attacks
It's survival training for the others, and I don't want to waste my time watching over everyone. I said that I will patrol every hour, but that's a lie. Other than the fifth island, the other islands are not as difficult. Unless the participants are extremely unlucky, there's nothing wrong will happen.
As for Angela and the others in the fifth island, although they were initially Went off on their own, later, they group up together. Seems like they know their limit. Well, other than the Werewolves who choose to keep fighting on their own.
Although they decided to group up, whenever they encounter a monster, they would take turn in fighting it. After one monster is defeated, the next mage will step forward. When there's a monster one mage can't defeat, the next mage will help.
As for the Werewolves, they keep getting injured in fighting strong monsters. But their recovery rate is fast enough to get them healed for the next fight. That's why I know that everyone will be fine.
And while everyone is training, I'm also training. It's not like I'm always slacking.
But unlike the others, I am in a location with even stronger monsters than those in the fifth island. It's under the sea.
Around the second island, it's infested with a lot of shark monsters deep underwater.
There are small sharks, shark Fishmen, Shark-Octopus hybrid, Shark with legs, Shark with arms, and many other types of sharks. What I don't get is that every time I encounter a shark, Victoria seems happy and would sing. But the song she sang doesn't have any lyrics and was just doo doo doo. Probably another thing from her world. Again, just what the hell is wrong with her world?
As for me, I'm fine with fighting these sharks. Each of them has unique style of fighting. But in the end, I'm still getting bored. Especially since shark doesn't taste that good. I want something I can eat and taste good!
By the way, there's a reason why I stayed here despite being surrounded by these sharks. It's because I felt someone is watching me.
Right, I felt it. Not saw it.
Even when I'm using Divine Vision to the fullest, I still can't see whatever is watching me. and whenever I tried to get closer to the source, the numbers of the sharks approaching me increased.
If you own a mouse, you have to play this game. No Install. Play for free.Panzer.Quest strategy game
There's one time that I can barely see the thing that watched me. It has a fish tail. Probably another kind of fish monster. Maybe another shark monster since these sharks keep annoying me. But I don't think that's the case.
I know since I keep fighting these sharks that sharks have vertical fin tail, which when they swim, they would swing it left and right. But the one watching me has a horizontal fin tail that swung up and down. Like a dolphin or whale.
Don't tell me that's a mermaid?! I don't know, but if there's a monster I can communicate with, I would love to meet them.
And the main reason why I want to catch up with the one watching me is because of its eye. Since it can see further than my Divine Vision while being underwater, I can guess that that thing has better eyesight underwater. If I defeat it without using magic, my Divine Vision could be improved again.
But it keeps running away whenever I tried to get closer. Or is it swimming away? Even with my speed, that thing is still faster than me. I'm curious about what that creature is.
I guess I would never know if it keeps escaping from me.
If that thing has an eye that can see well only underwater, I would have surfaced, and look at it from outside of the water. But right now, I'm way too deep and my Divine Vision won't be able to reach this far. If I can't reach that thing today, I will give up.
Damn, these sharks are persistent! And Victoria won't keep her mouth shut either! Now that doo doo doo is stuck in my head. Please don't let the next one a shark so she will stop singing!
And my wish… wasn't granted. This time, I encounter a shark with a turtle's shell. And it's difficult to defeat it.
Even when I tried to attack its head, it will hide is head inside the shell. And that shell is much harder than the Giant Salamander's scales. Sea creatures are scary.
I guess I can only give up on chasing the one who is watching me. This Turtle Shell Shark is annoying!
I swam away from the watcher hoping that there won't be any more reinforcement in case that one is really the one who called these sharks. I don't know if it's true or not, but at least the numbers of shark around me has decreased.
I defeated the other sharks, and finally get a chance on a one on one against the Turtle Shell Shark.
The weapon that suit against that thing is… the drill I used to enter the Giant Salamander. But this shark is much smaller in scale and move faster as well. Then, let's try to fight it with Reizpear. My self-repair spear.
I hold my spear with both hands, with my left hand holding the middle part of the spear, and my right is holding the end of the spear. This is a technique I practiced a lot in my free time.
I can use it well with Victoria as my weapon, but I practiced it for Reizpear.

I spun the spear with my right hand to the limit of the Reizpear's endurance combined with my Aura, and hold the spin with my left hand so from the middle part of the spear to the tip, it's still straight like usual. But from the middle to the end, the shaft is twisted weirdly. Some part even started to crack. And that's when I stopped spinning the spear.
I quickly charged toward the Turtle Shell Shark. The shark quickly hides inside its shell, but I still attacked it with Reizpear.
Once I'm within the range, I let go of my left hand and pushed the spear with only my right hand. The spear was released from my restraint, and twisted while moving forward. This way, the effect will be like I'm using a drill to the shell.
The spinning tip of the spear hit the shell, and drilled through the shell. The shark's blood filled my vision. I feel so happy about the fact that I finally have a special move against strong armored opponents. Though in the end, Reizpear broke apart. Good thing it's a self-repair spear. I instantly pour some magic so the spear returned to its shape again.
It's the first time that I used that move in a real fight. I need to remember the flaw I had when I used it so I can fix it. But overall, it's a powerful move.
If it's outside of water, I can put compressed air behind my right hand, and burst it as I attack so I have more power. There are still a lot of thing I can improve in this move.
But damn! If only I have the ability to remember in skill-learning as learning people's name, I would be perfect. But I guess one can't wish for everything.
This move, when I tried to use it in a lake, it made a small whirlpool. And this time, when I'm using it deep underwater, there's a small whirlpool, but it's stopped quickly by the water pressure.
I guess that's it for today. I can no longer get to that one that watched me, so I'll leave. I also need to patrol on the islands to see how everyone is progressing.
I quickly went out of the sea, and run on air to see each island. From the first to the fourth, the number of people is decreasing considerably. I don't think that they have given up.
And when I look at the fifth island, I can see the reason. Everyone is moving to the fifth island to test against stronger monsters since the previous island is not satisfying for them. Though some people are entering the third island because of the view. They are relaxing while taking turns fighting monsters. Well, that doesn't matter as long as everyone is improving.
On the fifth island, I see that many people are there like I thought. They are doing their best fighting monsters there. Probably they thought that the previous island wasn't enough, so they move.
Since there's no one who has contacted Sonia, it means that everything is going fine. At least it's good that the people are mainly in the fifth island, and the third island. Which mean I don't have to go on the other three islands to patrol anymore. I hope they will stay in those two islands.
I return back to the villa today. I'll be patrolling again later. And tomorrow, everyone should be returning safely. I hope everyone will return on their own so I won't have to pick them up.
I'd like to take a rest, but it's difficult. Especially since Victoria's doo doo doo stuck in my head.
I guess I'll take a rest later then.
Chapter 266 - Survival Training Is Over
Everyone finally returned on their own. None of them called for help, and no one choose to overstays. If there are any who choose to overstay, I'll leave them be anyway. They are free to practice for how long they want. But they won't be my responsibility to protect anymore.
Everyone returned with a satisfied expression on their faces. Telling me that their training in this one week has been successful.
And so was mine, you know? I managed to use my new special move in a real fight. Although it needed some more improvement, it was considered as success to me since I can break a shell that is much harder than the Giant Salamander's scale. I need to give a name to that technique. But I'm bad at it, so I will think it carefully.
Those who stayed behind, welcomed them with a huge feast filled with any kind of seafoods that I got. But the shark delicacies seem to be ignored until the last second. The other dishes are more delicious after all. Though in the end, everything is gone.
And while everyone is enjoying themselves, Albert stepped forward and make a speech.
"Everyone, thank you for coming. Tomorrow is a free day, and the day after, you will all return back home. Unless you have been assigned to other places. I have given the order to some people to change the location they will be assigned to. They will also be given new tasks." Albert said.
Seems like even today, he's still doing his work as the king.
"And we have an announcement to give you. Soon, universities around the kingdom will be accepting new students. Some of you might think that going to magic academy after becoming this strong is useless, but don't worry! Soon, we will be holding a new event only for students of magic universities all around the kingdom! It's a tournament to decide which university has the strongest mages! If you want to participate, you will need to be registered as one of the students of any university in the kingdom! If you think that you are the strongest, or you want to test your strength, go enter a university and participate. This only applies to those who haven't graduated yet."
So, this is the announcement he's making, huh? Well, it doesn't matter to me. I'm not participating after all. I mean it, you know? I'm going to a medical school after all. Although I'm already a doctor.
"What are you thinking, Roy?"
Ms. Wendy suddenly approached me and asked what's on my mind.
She's also joining this training camp, and already getting along with many people.
And since she said she want to be a teacher, I don't think she will participate either. I guess we're comrade in not going to participate.
"Just thinking that I'm glad to not have to take part in it." I said honestly.

"Hmm… is that so…" Ms. Wendy smiled.
I feel like her smile is scary. What is it? Is there something I don't know about? Is this another one of Albert's scheme to get me do some work? I'm scared.
I feel like I have been scared a lot more often in this three year after returning back to the past, than my whole life in the previous life.
"What is it? Why are you smiling like that? You're scaring me!" I said.
"Hmm? Nothing. I'm just happy with the result of my training. That's all."
Albert! Come here and tell me that she's speaking the truth! Please!
But Albert didn't notice my peril and continue speaking about the tournament in the future.
"The tournament is actually a preliminary. We can find out who is the strongest mage in the country with it. But after that, we will have a meeting with other kings to hold the world-wide tournament. The participants of this kingdom-wide tournament, will be carefully selected to participate in the world-wide event as well. Then, the strongest mage in the world will be decided! I believe no one wants to let go of this chance, right?"
After hearing Albert's announcement, everyone here shouted in excitement. Either they are male or female, everyone wants to have a go in becoming the strongest. Well, except for me and those of my clan who already know about this.
No matter how strong I have become, I will still choose to be a coward. This time, I will survive no matter what and won't pick any stupid decision anymore. Hopefully.
"Of course, we have other goals as to why we will hold this tournament. The same as to why we all gathered here. It's to destroy the Evil Cult!"
After hearing this line, everyone quieted down. Seems like none of them have forgotten about this real goal. I'm so proud.
"First, with the goal of becoming the strongest, I hope that everyone, not just those who participated in training camp, but other people as well, to become stronger. The stronger we become, the more chance we have in destroying the cult!"
Albert is stating the obvious here. Of course, when we become stronger, we have more chance of victory. But it's easy to understand. Especially to those with low intellect. Like Angela and few others. As for the Werewolves, they don't care about the tournament since it's a competition between humans. But they are excited about the war instead.
…the war is still a long time, my friends. I hope they have enough patience to wait.
"Second, the tournament will be a gathering of the strongest mages. We might be able to use this chance to find any cultists using this tournament as the bait. This way, we can reduce their power little by little. And during the world tournament, we might be able to get some clues about where they are hiding from the cooperation of other kings. Don't forget that our real goal is to destroy the cult! We have to stop them from killing our beloved anymore! Only we can protect our beloved from them!"
I see many people is holding their anger. They must be those who lost their beloved during the stampede. Some of them are clenching their fists. I see a man and a woman is hugging each other. I don't want to know their story. Must be something tragic.
"That's why, for those who want to participate in the tournament, I wish you the best. For those who can't participate, there are other ways to support your friends. Never give up hope. We will surely destroy that Evil Cult to the very core!"

After that, Albert finished his speech and returned to eat with his wife and his children. The festive mood just changed into this serious mood. I'll just eat until I'm full.
While I'm eating, Albert who was supposed to be with his family, approached me instead.
"What is it? I'm eating here." I asked Albert.
"Girls' talk. I can't participate in it so I moved here." Albert said.
We ate in silence for a while, and then Albert is the first one to open his mouth.
"Roy, I want to thank you. As the king and also personally, as just Albert. As the king, I want to thank you for approaching me and informing about the future tragedy. With this, we can prevent more tragedy from happening." Albert said.
"Hmm. I was just trying to let you do everything when I informed you so I won't do anything. But it turned out this way where we have to cooperate together. Though it feels nice to do something good. I also managed to stop the stampede from destroying Melk and just received minimum damage."
"Yeah. You keep wanting to leave everything to me even now. And you even did more than me. Sorry to keep pushing you on everything." Albert said.
"Don't worry about it. Though I will keep complaining whenever it happens. But if there's a task that someone else can do, don't give that job to me. I'm already busy with the clan. Anyway, is that what you're here for? To say something sentimental? I'm warning you that I'm easily moved to tears. You might see me cry and it's pretty ugly." I said.
"You're admitting that you're a crybaby? I haven't thanked you yet as Albert."
"It's probably something like delivering the twins and saving your wife. What else? Letting Shirley join me? Babysitting Lana? I guess that's it."
"…yeah, that's about it. Can't I be the one who said it so I can see you cry?"
"No. that's why I said it first." I said.
After that, Kron, Oleg, and Hill noticed us and joined as well. And the five of us started to talk nonsense and playing around.
…this is great. I'm enjoying my life despite the uncertain future.
Unlike my past lonely life, I'm surrounded by my friends and have a lot of lovers. I feel that every day is a blessing.
Oh, shit! I'm starting to tear up! Come on, hold it back! Please! Can't let these people see me crying! They will make fun of me!
The party went on until everyone is tired. Everyone is sleeping outside tonight. No one cares about building a shelter, or entering Albert's villa.
Whether it's a king, servant, noble, commoner, everyone is sleeping outside.
As for me, I went for a dive. No one can see me crying underwater.
Chapter 267 - Home Sweet Home
"Bye! Good bye! See you next time! That one, I don't want to see you again."
Finally, the training camp is over. I opened a portal close to the city they were returning. And I waved to everyone who passed the portal.
All of them have agreed to keep most thing as secrets. Except for the training methods which is useful for other people as well. But only to our other allies who were unable to come. And they can't tell other people as well.
Of course, there's a limit to it. I told those I taught air magic and summoning magic to not tell anyone no matter if they are allies or not. Air element doesn't mean much even if we keep it as secrets, but the portals from summoning magic is our trump cards against the cult. Though I think some summoners in the cult already capable of doing it since they will attack Monsters World in the future.
It's time for those from Mellian to return.
"Roy! I'm gonna miss you!" Hill approach me with arms spread open as if he wants to hug me. Of course, I stopped him with my foot on his face.
"I won't. I'm extremely happy that you'll be leaving. Farewell." I kicked him into the portal. Then the others from Mellian entered the portal as they bid their farewell… while showing us their muscles. Enough with that!
I have given everyone here the good training set to improve their stamina, and speed. Unlike those from Mellian in the past, whom I gave the training sets to make their body bigger. But when I gave the new training sets to them and told them that it's mainly about increasing speed and stamina, they politely refused. Though I don't know if flexing your muscles while saying no thanks is considered polite or not.
…actually, it doesn't. Refusing while flexing your muscles is not polite at all. That's just weird.
Next is Melk. Oleg, his wife, and their baby. They actually brought their baby to this training camp. It's a boy. And he's getting along well with Alan. Well, their baby is just over one year old, while Alan and Lana are already two.
"Roy, See you later."
"Yeah, bye!"
This time, our farewell is totally normal.
"Roy, thank you for guiding me with air magic. Now I have power to protect my baby. Although I don't want to participate in the war, I will try my best to protect my family." Oleg's wife said.

"Good for you. As for me, I don't want to participate in the war, but there's something that only I can do. I can't escape from it. I'm so jealous of you… anyway, good bye. We'll meet again once your weapons are prepared. I'll bring them to you." I said.
There are two air element users here other than me. I already gave each of them the prototype of a rifle, but I don't think that weapon is good for long. So, I had Marie to build new ones for them. Each of them will receive one rifle, and one pistol. Rifle is too conspicuous. But a pistol can be hidden under your clothes. Of course, I asked Marie to made them to be able to use anything small as the bullet.
As for me, I also asked for a gun as well. Just for precaution since Victoria might be too busy to come with me one day. Though I hope that won't be the case.
I can use Air Shot without using medium like guns, but using it will increase my accuracy. That's why I asked Marie to build a custom gun only for me. I asked her to build it strong enough to be used as melee weapon.
The happy family entered the portal. Then next is Ms. Wendy.
"Hmm…"
"Hmm?"
"…why aren't you entering?" I asked Ms. Wendy.
"Oh, I have been placed in Cassau for my next mission. I'll be joining your clan then." Ms. Wendy said.
"So, you received a teaching job in Cassau? Hannah will be happy when she knows that you will teach her two years from now."
Hannah is thirteen years old now. It has been three years since I returned to the past. Hannah is now also has joined the physical training like Jewel did back when she asked me to be my disciple. And since she is often being surrounded by older women, she became more mature than girls her age. But she's still playing with Daniel, Lana, and other children. The kids loved her as their big sister.
As for Daniel… he no longer asked to sleep in my bed anymore. Now he has his own room filled with toys and books. Sometime, the kids from the orphanage would sleep in his room. Which is why he no longer feel lonely. But now, I'm the one feeling lonely. Though I have girls lining up to sleep with me.
"Well, not as a teacher. But as a professor at the magic school. I will be teaching some things I learned here to the students." Ms. Wendy said.
"Is that so? I guess that's great then. Once everyone improved considerably from your lessons, you will be praised as the one responsible for the students' development. Or another teacher will be jealous of your achievements, and tries to get all the praises by saying that everything is their achievements. Good luck with that."
"Ah… that is too realistic. I can feel that it will actually happen." Ms. Wendy sighed.
Well, since she won't be going to Melk, I closed the portal after making sure that everyone has left. Next is the Capital.
When I opened it, Marie enters first followed by the others. She brought Alan and Lana over to the capital. Lana's existence is still being kept as secret, but because we gained a lot of allies, we can have one of the servants in the palace to pretend to be Lana's mother. And when Lana and Alan were seen together, they will just say that Lana is a child of the servant, and since their age is similar, the two will be seen playing together more often. Though those two will still visit Cassau from time to time. Especially if both Marie and Albert are busy.
Then, after Mustache enters the portal, I get a bad feeling.

"Roy, take care of his majesty." Mustache said that and then he left.
"Wait, what!? Albert, you're not going?" I asked Albert.
"No. I have business in Cassau as well. Bring me there with you." Albert said.
"It's not something that will annoy me, right? Please tell me I'm right."
"I don't know about that. Though it will benefit me. Let's go!"
…seems like after these two years passed, Albert already prepared a lot of troublesome stuffs for me to do. He must have been holding back a lot of tasks for me to do until the two years mark is over. And today is the day he will give me troublesome stuffs.
If I have to say, this is the part of my second life that I hate the most. Being depended upon felt great, but being depended on too much is annoying as hell. But if it's for the peace of the world, I guess I will have to do it. But I will still refuse if it's too troublesome!
I close the portals, and all that left is those from Cassau. It's finally time to go home.
I opened a portal close to the city, and once everyone entered the portal, we all entered the city. Good thing the gatekeepers during this time are our allies. Everyone who is related to those corrupt nobles who wanted to capture the girls are all dismissed or imprisoned. And the new noble in charge has recruited guards that can be trusted. Some of them are our allies who knows about the cult and fight with us. And they are the ones who couldn't join our training camp.
We greeted them on our way in, and I let the others to tell them the events that happened during the training camp. Then we continue to our base.
"Home sweet home! It's been a while since we're home!"
"What are you talking about!? You're home almost every day!" Shirley shouted.
I guess everyone knows that I keep going home from time to time. Let's pretend I don't know what they're talking about. This way, they won't ask for gifts.
"Sam! Been a while! Is there anything I need to know since I'm gone?" I asked Sam who didn't participate in the training camp, and keep working. Just like I said on the first time we met, I gave her riches. And now, she's famous in town as the richest merchant. Though half of her actual income went into me.
"…it's just less than twelve hours since you're gone. No, there's nothing new. Since you all have return, I will take my leave. Contact me if there's something important."
Just like that, Sam left. She's such a workaholic. Though she still takes care of herself just fine, so we don't need to worry about her. She's still visiting Ruby from time to time.
Everyone seems tired, so I suggest everyone to rest until noon. I hope by that time, Albert will forget what he's here for.
Oh, right! I guess Ms. Wendy will need a room since she will be staying with us from now.
I let Lina help her move in. We will gather again for lunch later.
Chapter 268 - Discussion About College
We gathered for lunch and discussed our next action.
"So, Ms. Wendy, will you be joining our clan?" I asked.
"Yeah. But my main profession will be a professor though." Ms. Wendy said.
"Isn't it the kingdom's agent?"
"As an agent, I have to do my task seriously. I have to think that teaching is my main job." Ms. Wendy replied.
Although she said that, she has a smile on her face. She's actually very happy being assigned to do a teaching job.
"Between teaching Introductory school students and college students, which one do you like more?" Candy asked.
"Well, I don't know about college students since I haven't taught them yet, but I think I will enjoy teaching them more. After all, Introductory school is optional. The students can come and go as they please. But for college, the students there should be those who are interested in learning. Though I hope that's the case."
"Well, if it's you, you will be popular in no time. Just like when you entered Roy's school as a new teacher. Be careful of the boys there. Most of them are children from nobility who thinks that they are better than anyone. Some of them might force themselves on you." Candy said.
"After the training camp, although I'm not the strongest, I can handle some boys coming on to me. And if I have some kind of difficulty, I can just ask Roy. He's like the secret underworld boss of this city."
Everyone looked at me after Ms. Wendy said that.
"What? Of course, I will protect everyone here. But don't expect that I can come save you every time something happened. And it's not like I will know something about the college. I'm not going there anyway." I said.
"…haha. Is that so?" Ms. Wendy smiled.
"…you're scaring me. Ever since Albert decided to come here, everything anyone said is scaring me. If you have anything to say, please say it and don't keep it as secret." I said as I made eye contact with Albert.
"I'll tell you later. Don't you have something to ask the others? I'll wait until it's over. Just treat me like air." Albert said.
"You do know that I manipulate air, right?"
"…just treat me like a statue."
"I used statue as a punching bag."
"…Roy, you need to take care of your possessions properly. Anyway, just ignore me."
"I always kick something I ignore."
"How come you kicked something you ignore?! That's not ignoring at all!" Albert protested.
Sigh… in the end, I still have to listen to him, right? I guess I'll ask the other first.
"So… everyone, what are you going to do? Will you enter college or no?"

"I will enter Cassau magic academy. I will join the healing major, but I will try to enter earth and light elements class as well. Anyway, with what we have and what the college can offer, there's no point in going there other than for the tournament, right? College only gave some amount of magic stones, which we already have a lot of. From Roy diving into the sea, or from dungeon exploration. And we already have a lot of money as well. Any college we enter won't matter." Kayla said. And as usual, what she said is very logical.
I only thought of going to medical school only for getting the medical license after all, so I don't have anything to say about her opinion.
"So, Angela and Shirley, you two were planning to go to the college in the capital, right? Are you still going with that plan?" I asked Angela and Shirley.
"Yes. I don't know about other people, but this is my chance to fight the others here outside of sparring in the tournament. I will still attend the college there." Angela said.
"As for me, I will attend while letting everyone knows that I'm the princess. I believe going to the capital is the best choice." Shirley said.
"You can just go there back then with Marie, you know? You don't have to come here first." I said.
"But we have many things to bring. Oh, right! We'll be using your house in the capital. It's not like anyone is living there after all." Shirley said.
"I guess it's fine. I heard that there are multiple cases of people attempting to rob something from that house. Though it's pretty much empty."
"And give us a lot of allowance since you're rich." Shirley shamelessly asked for money.
"No. Your brother is the king! Just go ask him for money!" I pointed my finger to Albert.
"She said that she wants to be independent. So, I won't give her a single penny." Albert who has been quiet for a while suddenly spoke.
"Statue doesn't talk!"
Going to college is fine, but why do I have to give them allowance? They can just finish quests from the guild.
"Don't worry. I won't ask you anymore. I'll ask Kayla instead. Right, Kayla?" Shirley said.
"Sure. I'm the one managing Roy's financial. I will make sure that everyone received their share fairly. Like usual." Kayla said.
"What do you mean by everyone!? And why is it usually like this? Don't tell me that you have been taking money all this time from me!"
"Don't worry about it. Everyone does. It's not like you need to have so much money for yourself." Kayla said calmly.
…I need to keep watch on the money I have. Always!
"Sigh… so, what about everyone else? Who else is going to college?"
"Me! Me! Master, I'm going as well! But I'll take the exam for magic academy here! I don't want to go too far to the capital!" It was Jewel who said it.
"I see. Anyone else? Candy? Sophie? Lina? What about Kron?"
"I already have my degree. I can't attend university anymore." Candy said.
"I only have interest of serving my master." Lina said.
"As for me, I'll go to medical school. This way, I can assist you." Sophie said.
"Nice! I'm looking forward to that!" I said.
I will be the surgeon, and Sophie is the nurse. I can already see that I'll be slapping the naughty patients who tries to go for Sophie. And when I did, I will tell them that I'm a doctor. I can heal bruises. And then with Kayla as well, we'll be the perfect team.
"I won't go to school. I have allergic reaction to anything related to education." Kron said.

"Oh, yeah. That's a terrible condition." I said sarcastically.
I know the truth that he's going to be the official of the tournament. Albert asked him because of his rank as a hunter. He will be the referee for the tournament. I think Hill and Oleg were also asked to be the ref as well.
"As for me, I'll go attend the ghost academy." Suddenly, Sonia spoke.
"… a what academy?"
"Well, it's more like a ghost town in Monsters World. They have become ghosts much longer than me. I think I can learn many things there. A Werewolf told me about this. She said that she's interested in going there as well. She will be wearing a necklace filled with the soil so I can go to that ghost town. So, if you need anything, it might take a while until I arrive." Sonia said.
Seems like she doesn't want to be left out and unable to do anything. Being our way of communication is already good enough, but she's not satisfied with just that after watching us putting so much effort in going stronger.
"Well, what do you think, Albert?" I asked Albert since the two of us are the ones who asked for Sonia's service the most.
"I think it's fine. How long will the message be delayed? Just one hour, right? I think that's already fast enough. Usually, it takes days for mail to arrive, you know?" Albert replied.
"Then it's fine. Just come back from time to time, okay?" I said to Sonia.
"Yes!" She answered happily.
"Now it's my turn, right?" Albert said.
…I guess I can't escape from this, huh?
"What is it that you want to say?"
"Actually, for the extension of your medical license which will expire soon, you will have to attend Cassau Magic School. You will have to go to air element class." Albert said.
I kind of guessed that that was what he will say to me. Attending magic school. But just air magic? That mean it's still impossible for me to attend the tournament, right?
"You will still be considered as a special student in the medical faculty taught privately by a doctor, but you will be the teacher in air element classes." Albert said.
"…what?"
"Well, assistant teacher to be exact. But you will be the one who mainly teaches. The dean of medical school, is also the dean of the magic school. And he's also the headmaster of the Introductory School. He has three status since those position meant nothing. Most educated people would just go joining the magic research school instead. You know, the one that teaches students to invent something new? Since if the students inventing something new, the teacher's name will be spread as the one responsible for the students' upbringing." Albert continued.
"…what?"
What does that matter with me being a teacher? One week and I can't remember the name of just two people. But now I have to be a teacher for real?
"Anyway, you will be Wendy's co-worker. Get along with her, okay?"
"…what's the reason for me to be the teacher?" I asked.
"Well, the dean who watched your surgery before, is also an air element mage. He's the professor of air element classes as well, but there's no students there after the first class. He wants to get the students to be interested in air magic, and you gave him the chance to do that. Though he will mainly watch your lectures since he also doesn't know much about air element." Albert said.
So… the dean is actually my enemy! He's the one destroying my peace!
"Let's go meet him right away. He's also someone we can trust with our plan. You will come as well, Wendy."
That's how I got forced to be a teacher. Or was it a professor? An assistant professor? A lecturer? Whatever it is, it means that it's impossible for me to skip classes like I thought I would do in medical school.
Two years will pass soon, and my peace will be over as well…
Chapter 269 - Meeting The Dean Again
And so, we're going to have a meeting with the dean from before. Since I'll be teaching soon, I should get to know his name first.
"Albert, what's the dean's name?" I asked Albert as we're going to the academy district to meet him.
"His name is Dean." Albert said.
"Dean is the dean? I guess that's easy to remember."
"You're not going to react by saying something like he's suited to be a dean since he was born?"
"Why should I? I should be glad that he has an easy to remember name. I'll thank his parent if we meet."
Since I can't escape being a teacher if I want to keep my medical license, I will need to find a way to cooperate with the dean. Let's try asking him to schedule my class just once a week. That should be enough.
"Roy, if you're thinking of bribing the dean, it won't work. He's quite famous in education world as someone who doesn't take any bribes. Which is why some people from nobility hated him, and he's loved by the commoners." Ms. Wendy said as I was thinking of bribing the dean.
"I'm not thinking of bribing anyone, but how did you know so much about dean Dean?"
Albert twitched when I said it. He knows I'm lying.
"I'm an agent specialized in espionage. I need to know about someone who is going to be my boss. And don't call him dean Dean in front of him. He doesn't like it. Just call him Dean." Ms. Wendy said.
I guess bribing him won't work then. But if I said that I will show him my medical skills, he might change his mind. I won't bribe him with money, but I will bribe him with knowledge. That's fine, right?
By the way, there are three of us going to meet the dean. Albert, Ms. Wendy, and I. Since the dean is someone that Albert says that he can trust, he's going to introduce Ms. Wendy as well. Whether he's going to tell the dean about Ms. Wendy being an agent, I don't know and I don't care.
Anyway, my goal is to be a doctor. A licensed doctor. As for to build a clinic or hospital, I don't have any plans yet. At least I want to spread future knowledge of medical skill, medication, and surgery methods so that the development of medical knowledge will improve. And I might not need to heal patients anymore since there will be many people who can do it. That mean I can focus being a clown in the future. Nice.
We entered the academy district, and see many people, mostly in the early 20s, walking around. There are also a lot of cafes and restaurants in this district targeted toward the students. I often went here only for those cafes and restaurants.
Even though Albert is walking around openly, no one noticed that he's the king of this kingdom. In fact, everyone's eyes are focused to the beauty, Ms. Wendy. And since I'm walking beside Albert and Ms. Wendy is walking behind, everyone just thinks that Ms. Wendy is either my or Albert's servant.
"Wendy, if it troubles you, you can just walk beside us. If you can't walk directly beside me, walk with Roy in between us." Albert said.
The Sexiest Game Of 2023! Not For Kids

Ms. Wendy complied and walk beside me.
"Should we hold hands so people will think that I'm your son?" I asked the two jokingly.
"…no one will think that you're my son. Instead, people will think that I'm the third-wheel since you two walk side by side." Albert said.
Everyone watching must have thought that Ms. Wendy will be a student. But no, she's going to be a professor. I can hear some of the men started to plan on how to steal her from me. First, she's not my lover. Second, she's way too powerful for anyone here. Please if anyone want to be stupid, do it in front of me so I can enjoy laughing at you.
We arrived at the campus, entered the building and went directly to the office. He's there doing some paperwork so fast. No wonder he can handle multiple jobs at once.
"We're entering." Albert said without knocking on the door.
"Ah, your majesty! Please come." Dean said.
"It's funny how no one noticed that you are the king on our way here." I said as I took a seat next to Albert.
"It's obvious since I never make my appearance public here. Even the last time I'm here was incognito. And it was because Shirley and the others are being targeted." Albert said.
"That's right. Most people in this district are youngster. Either they are children of a noble, or commoner, none of them ever has the chance to meet your majesty." Dean said.
I guess that's right. It's not like there are many chances for other people to meet Albert. As for me, I met him when I sneaked into his room. Awesome, right?
"So, why are we here?" I asked.
Albert looked around first, then he looked at me. I guess that mean he's asking me if there's someone eavesdropping us.
I look around with my Divine Vision, and see that no one is here. So, I nod my head as the signal.
"So, Dean, is this room safe?" Albert asked Dean.
"What? Yes. This room is safe. Anything that goes here can be kept secrets."
I guess Dean noticed that we're about to say something serious.
And then, Albert started to speak about the future, and how I came from the future. I guess he wants me to have another ally I can trust with my secret. And he's also well-known as well. It will be useful for him to know more.
Albert also told him about the tournament.
"So, I want your name to be listed as the founder of this tournament. Is that okay with you?"
Dean is silent for a while. Then after thinking, he nodded and agree to Albert's demand.

"Fine. But I need to know everything about this tournament first so I can answer every question later." Dean said.
"It's nice of you to do it. It will give you more work to do, but I will expect great things from you. We also need evidence of your involvement. So, I will need you to write a proposal to me about the tournament as I said. Then I will give you a reply, and you will get to have an audience with me. After that, we will ask other universities to join the tournament." Albert said.
"I understand. There are many things that doesn't make sense at first. But if I consider Roy is someone from the future, it started to make sense. I will trust your majesty's decision in trusting him."
Then Dean looked at me.
"So, your medical knowledge come from the future? I'll tell the professor in medical faculty that you are raised by a great doctor as the reason for your extraordinary knowledge. Is that okay?" Dean asked me.
"That's fine. This way, the others will be less suspicious toward me. By the way, why am I here?"
"You're here to take the test so you have the qualification to teach here. There are no other professors here who are air mages other than me. I'm the one responsible in teaching air element. I can pass your test right away, but I need some evidence that you took the test. So, this is just for formality. As for Wendy, someone else will test you. You have to pass it with your own power." Dean explained.
A test, huh? I guess that's fine if it's only for formality. Dean will pass me anyway.
"What is the content of the test?" Ms. Wendy asked.
"It depends on the examiner. But what you're going to teach is mostly battle-oriented magic, it will probably to test your power."
"What about me?" I asked.
"You just need to be able to hold your breath underwater for fifteen minutes. By the way, you will actually be registered as a student as well. I will say that you have quite exceptional use of air magic, and that's why you will teach other students. After all, to teach here, you need to graduate university first. But you hadn't. That's why you need to at least be a student here for at least two years. After that, you can graduate anytime you want." Dean explained.
So, it means that I still have a chance to enter the tournament? I don't want that! I looked at Albert and he just looked away. You told me that I will be a professor, not a student! Damn it! This king is a con-artist!
"As for teaching, you can hold lectures as much as you want. If you want to only hold lecture once, that's fine. Twice, that's fine as well. But the rule of a teacher or professor is to teach the student as much as possible. Please finish the class only when you have told everyone everything you can share." Dean said.
"That's fine. So, when can I hold the test? Can I do it today?" I asked.
"Anytime you want. You can do it today as well. What about Wendy?"
"I'll do it today as well." Wendy said.
"Good. Go to the arena. That place is mostly used for practical exam for the students. And no one is using it during other times. I will go get the examiners for Wendy's test." Dean said.
"Then, that's everything from me. Roy, take me back to the capital." Albert said.
After using the portal to transfer Albert, we left the office while Dean is still shocked from seeing the portal. I know where the arena is, so I don't have to ask for direction.
When we arrive at the arena, it is empty as Dean said. But not for long. Once the information about the tournament spread, this place will be used for practice more often.
And even if I'm a student, I won't participate!
Chapter 270 - Recruitment Test
Ms. Wendy and I both are waiting for dean Dean and the examiners to arrive in the unused arena. He said that this place is only used for practical exam. And other times, there are no one is here at all. After all, once mages learned something, they would choose to use it right away on a real target. Which are usually monsters. I hope there's no bullying here.
Every student who attended magic academy would have already signed as a hunter. Which is why sometimes, I see that most of the quests in the guild are taken.
I don't know what needed for students here to graduate. Exam? Writing papers? Or just after a few years, they would automatically graduate? I'll ask Ms. Wendy for now.
"Ms. Wendy, what are the requirements to graduate here?"
"Hmm? Back during my student day, I just need to be able to use my magic well. To pass the minimum damage to the target like back during your exam when you hit eight on the target. Although it was optional for you before, it is important for college students. And you also need to write a paper about something you learned here. I guess that's it? There's no time limit on how long you can stay as student. But the longer you stay, the more people will laugh at you. By the way, how much do you know about college?" Ms. Wendy asked.
"Not much. I only know about graduating medical school, not magic school. After learning everything, I need to be an intern at a hospital or clinic for a year. After that, wrote a paper and that's it. Please tell me more about college." I said.
"Well, first, you can just call me Wendy. We're no longer teacher and student. We're co-worker. As for college, let's see… anyone who passed the exam can attend any class they want. There's no restriction. And obviously most student would only pick the class with their element. Every Monday, there will be a new schedule posted on the board. You see the board as soon as we enter the university, right? That's where important information like schedule and other things are posted. Every lecturer would come before weekend to write their schedule for the next week. Some of them only teach once a week."
I can see the board from here. And there's indeed a schedule posted there. So, once I became a teacher, I can just write the schedule there and decide when and where I will teach, huh? Hmm… I think I will be assigned a classroom. That mean I will only teach there, right?
As for the format, anyone can enter any class they want. Not restricted to their elements. Doesn't that mean that anyone even those without air element can attend my class, and they can just teach what they learn to other people outside the class? I guess that's show how easy education can be spread. But the fact that most people doesn't know mean that those who learned it are too lazy to teach other people.
Magic school has become more and more useless to attend. It's better for everyone to just hunt monsters outside. The only good thing is that everyone will receive resources every month. Which is why most commoners would attend college.
Then, Dean and two other examiners arrive.
"Alright, let me introduce you two to your potential co-workers if you passed this test." Dean said as he introduced the two examiners.
Though I don't care about them. It's not like they will try to cause trouble to an air magic professor. I don't know if they will cause trouble to Ms. Wendy though. I mean Wendy. I need to get used to it. Having two lives of calling her Ms. Wendy made it stuck in my head.
The two are lecturers of wind magic and fire magic respectively. The wind mage is so old. I guess he's looking for substitute after he retires.
Well, doesn't matter. I'll just take my own test. Wendy can take care of herself.
"So, where should I dive?" I asked Dean.
"Wait. I'll build a pool for you." Dean said.
Dean casted an ice magic to create four walls to surround me, then he casted a water magic to create water and sunk me. I should have taken off my clothes first beforehand.
"If you can't hold it any more, just knock on the ice block on the top. I will release you then." Dean said.
Then Dean covered the top with another ice magic.
I see… no wonder the test is just fifteen minutes. No one should be able to hold for too long in this cold. But for me, it's easy. I just need to cover myself with Aura. I will still feel the cold, but at least it's better this way.
And so, I just stay inside the box full of water as I watched Wendy took her test.
The two examiners are discussing something. I don't know since I'm terrible at lip reading. And there's nothing I can hear here. I'm trapped in a box.
The fire mage examiner who is still in his thirty I guess, is saying something to Dean. According to my experience, he's bootlicking Dean. He wants to gain his favor. Probably saying something like how awesome his magic is and how smart he is for proposing some kind of test.
None of the two examiners here are cult members, but I already hate that one.
The two examiners then started talking to Wendy and Dean. Dean looked at Wendy, and Wendy says something after nodding. I guess they are explaining to her about her test.
Both Wendy's wind element and fire element have reached advanced level. So, it should be easy for her to pass the test. And her strength is way above average advanced level mage. Combined with her experience, it should be a breeze for her to pass.
Then, the examiners prepared several targets. Why are there many of them? And not just ones that will calculate the strength of the attack received, but also a normal wooden target that can be destroyed. What is the test?
Seeing how the fire mage examiner is smiling, I think it's his fault. He probably doesn't want Wendy to pass the test. Just as she said, she's already being targeted.
Why? I guess it must be because she's a beauty. Once the students know that there are two lecturers, they will obviously go to the prettier one. Then once everyone knows how good her lesson is, everyone will go there.
I think the test has started.
So, it's just Wendy moving around quickly with wind magic, while attacking targets with her fire magic. That should be easy.
Wendy started the test. She quickly moved around from one place to another as she casted simple Fireball to attack the targets. I see that the targets are much stronger than the ones back in Melk where I only rated 8. Probably it can reach even higher than ten thousand.
And just as I guessed, Wendy's simple Fireballs hit the targets, and each attack has about 12000 points on average. That's just Fireball! If she used even stronger magic, that target will be destroyed!

The wind mage examiner and Dean looked at Wendy proudly. As if they found a treasure who can lead the students to become even much stronger. But not the fire mage.
He seems to be complaining to the other two. So, he's just here to make things harder for Wendy, huh?
Seems like Wendy will have another test. But I think both the wind mage and Dean already agreed to accept Wendy. I think she's already safe as a wind magic professor. But the fire mage is still complaining with bitter look. I'll just enjoy him being faceslapped from this ice box.
They prepared even more targets, and even obstructions. Seems like that fire mage is also an earth mage. He used Earth Wall to build several obstructions. Now, Wendy can't go toward the targets directly. She needed to maneuver during flight, or during her run.
Then, as the test started, the fire mage started attacking Wendy. He's shouting something. Most likely an excuse to let him do whatever he wants. But that's not enough to stop Wendy who aspire to be teacher.
Wendy keep dodging the fire mage easily as she attacked the targets. She quickly finished all the targets, but the idiot fire mage keeps attacking her.
He finally stopped after he exhausted all his mana. Then he's being reprimanded by Dean. It's a shame that I can't listen to them.
Then Wendy tapped Dean's shoulder, and pointing at me. Oh, right! How long have I been here? It should have been more than fifteen minutes, right?
Dean looked my way in panic, and shouting something. Probably telling someone to destroy the ice wall.
Wendy shot a Fireball, and the Ice Wall on that side is destroyed. The water leaked out, and I finally come out while looking relaxed.
"How long has it been?" I asked.
"It has been one hour! How do you feel? Sorry that I forgot about you." Dean apologized.
"Don't worry. I actually quite enjoy the show. If there are more things to show, I think I will stay there for some more hours."
Dean just smiled wryly to my remark.
"Anyway, you two have passed. Come back later so I can inform you about your duty. I think you need a change of clothes." Dean said.
Yeah, I'm drenched. I guess I'll go home now.
"Wendy, you're going home?"
"No. I want to explore the campus first. See you later." Wendy said.
I look for an empty area, and use a portal to go directly to the base. Though I need to walk back to the campus since I haven't planted any Blobby there.
After I return back to the campus, Dean and Wendy are already waiting for me. We're only here to listen to Dean's explanation about classes. I can give lectures anytime I want since Dean gave me a classroom, but Wendy need to discuss the schedule with that fire mage and that wind mage.
And that's all for today. I'm now officially a student, assistant professor, doctor, businessman, hunter, and clown. I'm a busy man.
Chapter 271 - Test Examiner
Today is finally the day for the entrance exam. And as the assistant professor of air element, whose professor is the busy dean Dean, I will be the one to see the practical exam.
The exam is similar to what I did before, but it won't be inside an ice box. It will be just a normal pool, made of Blobbies. So, fifteen minutes underwater should be easy.
Though after this, once class has started, they will just attend class at least once, then they won't come back again thinking that it's worthless to learn more about air element. They will just attend other classes while enjoying the privilege of getting magic stones.
I remembered how I took the test to be an assistant professor. Dean forgot that I was also took the test while he is being awed with Wendy's performance. His reaction was quite funny.
It was cold, but I have experienced even colder water way deep into the sea. There are even times when I faced a monster that can freeze water. But as long as I can defeat them before they freeze the water, it was easy.
It is now the time for the written exam. Unlike before when I took the test in the arena, right now I'm behind the campus in an empty area. I can see everyone is trying their best for the exam from here clearly. Kayla and Jewel were put in different room. I can even see Sophie in the medical school campus. She's trying her best as well.
The questions in the exam were easy. As long as you listen during class in Introductory School, everyone is sure to pass. As for Sophie's exam, there are some simple questions about human anatomy. She studied it with me so I'm sure she's fine with those questions.
I guess I'll wait until the written exam is over. It will still go on for another two hours. I should take care of some things I can only do.
Cleaning up some cultists.
Since it's the time for entrance exam, there should be many people entering this city. And obviously, some cult members are here as well.
But the question is, should I kill them right away, or not?
If I kill every cult member, it would end up alerting other cult members.
For example, if I kill someone who tries to take the entrance exam, it will alert a fifteen years old cult member who is going to awaken their elements soon. They can't use magic yet, so they obviously won't have any explosive device in their mouth. It's useless for those who can't use magic after all.
I'll just inform the agents in this city about those cultists' existence in this city. They will take care of everything. Even making the cultist's death looks like an accident. I will just start killing after school starts.
Oh, right! I should inform Veronica and Celestine to never leave the house without disguising themselves. They need to wear flattening underwear every time they left the house. They are too famous. Who knows if some of the cultists that entered this city are their worshippers?
They only looked at the girls' bodies instead of their face. So, I hope no one recognize them from the face. But it's rude to remember people only from their body!

I'd like to call Sonia to inform the two, but she's in Monsters World right now. Attending ghost academy? She has been there most of the time since that time we had discussion about one month ago.
She said that there are some ghosts who want to be exorcised? I'll go there after she finished learning everything. Do your best, ghost!
I quickly returned to the base to inform Celestine and Veronica. Celestine is playing with the orphans, and Veronica is taking a bath. Hmm…
Oh, shit! No time to watch her bathing! I'll just have Celestine inform Veronica later.
"Celestine, what are you doing?" I asked as I approached her.
"Just playing with the children. Is the exam already over?" Celestine asked.
"No. Just informing you to be careful since there have been many newcomers in this city."
"I see… it's time for entrance exam after all. Have you seen any of them?"
"Some. But I want you to still be careful. Tell Veronica about this to. Do not forget to disguise yourself before leaving the house. Even if you are just playing with the children." I said.
"I understand. I'll go get changed soon. Good luck with the test." Celestine said.
"What do you mean good luck? I'm the one examining the test."
"I mean that the students who take your test should be prideful bunch since they already know that they can pass the test. They will make fun of you instead for being a professor who doesn't teach since they will leave your class later." Celestine explained. She knows since that's what we discussed last night over dinner.
"Hmm… that's right. But I'm fine with it. I've told you before that I'm a clown, right? A clown's duty is to make fun of everything, while also being made fun of. By the way, Thomas' circus will soon perform. You haven't seen me perform, right? After four or five times performing, I will finally perform again as a guest clown. I can't join right away since if everyone thinks that I'm the main member, the standard of performance will raise high. That's why I will just occasionally be the guest clown. I still need to inform the agents about the cult members here so I'll take my leave. See you later!"
I left the base and start looking around the city for other cult members. I should have done this every year, but last year, and the year before that, I just walked around in the middle of the school year when I accidentally see someone with explosive device in their mouth. That's when I search around the city. I only look around once I found someone with explosive devices in their mouth. If I hadn't found any, I wouldn't conduct a patrol.
I guess it mean I need to patrol more often. Sigh… I don't want to do that!
Even if I leave them be for a while, it's not like they will suddenly start a genocide. I'll just do it like usual and patrol once I found one.
After patrolling and informing the agents, I return back to the campus just in time for the written exam to be over. I returned to my post next to the Blobbypool and waited for the exam takers to arrive.
…I should build a Blobbypool from time to time for the children to have fun. It's not like I can always bring everyone to the lake or the beach. Especially since I'll be busy from now.
Finally, a group arrive. What is this? They agree to come together?
Oh? The female agents that I taught is also here. She looks surprised when she sees me. I guess Albert didn't tell everyone that I will be teaching here. Let's pretend we don't know each other, okay?

Seems like she noticed my intention and nodded. As expected of my student!
For now, I'll greet everyone first.
"Welcome to the air element magic practical exam. I'm the examiner here, Roy."
"Hey, Roy! Can't you just pass everyone here? I have gathered all the air mages who take the exam. I hear that we can pass easily just from this exam. Just pass everyone here and you will be praised by your peers that everyone has passed. Then you can rest easy since you no longer need to monitor us. That's a win-win situation, right?" A man who seem to be the leader, stepped forward and said so cockily.
I guess that's cool he gathered every air mage here, but he's annoying.
"It's true that you can pass easily. But you need to take the exam no matter what. Don't worry, this is the easiest exam. The only way you can fail is if you are not an air mage. You just need to stay underwater for fifteen minutes. You can dive inside the pool, or just dunk your head. This test is easy, but it took times. So… one, two, three… there are eleven of you. That's more air mages than I expected. You can all take the test together since the pool is quite large. That way, the exam will be over sooner, and everyone can go home. How about it?" I explained the rule to everyone.
"There is no way I would dive in there! As I said, just pass us already! There's no need for a test that has a hundred percent rate of success!"
The cocky man is angry. Why? Don't tell me that he's actually not an air mage? He gathered everyone thinking that I would be afraid, huh?
I have got an idea.
"Why are you so insistent on not taking the test? Don't tell me that you're not an air mage, and just here thinking that you can pass if you gathered every air mage who take the exam? That's stupid. By the way, once you're here, you have to take the test. If not, you're already considered failed the exam."
"You! You're just a stupid professor who doesn't teach anything! Don't talk back to me!" Cocky man is angry.
I looked at his nametag. For the exam, everyone must wear a tag. And cocky man's name is Mason.
By the way, I just find out today that the female agent's name is Sara.
"I guess you failed the exam, Mason. Congratulation on being the first mage who failed air element practical exam. Good luck in your other exams." I said.
Once you take an exam, you can do other exams as well before it's dark. It will increase exam takers' chance in passing.
"You! I will remember your name, Roy! I will tell my Papa about this!" Mason said.
Did he actually just say Papa? That Papa must be spoiling his son too much then.
"So, the spoiled cocky brat has left. The rest of you are really air mages, right? Just take the test. If you want to do it faster, just do it all together. I prepared a towel for you. Just dunk your head into the pool, and wait fifteen minutes. That's all."
After Mason left, the other exam takers no longer care about him and just take the test. All of them passed easily.
And it seems like that cocky brat is really not an air mage. After he left, he tried other exams, and failed terribly. He just wanted to pass easily by pretending to be an air mage. I guess I will face his Papa later. Should I call Albert?
For now, ten people pass, and one failed. I guess I should wait in case there are other air mages coming. It's the most annoying part of being an examiner. Maybe I will wait while practicing new tricks for my future performance.
