章 311: 725
[Chapter 185]
[Academy Guest Instructor]
The second semester of Year 16 of Fairy Power began.
Students who finished summer vacation had no choice but to go to school even if they didn't like it.
"Ugh..."
Ha Baekryeon was the same.
Ha Baekryeon, who had spent her time happily playing at the clan headquarters and occasionally doing summer homework, couldn't help but sigh.
She didn't want to go to school.
It seemed a hundred, thousand times better to play with the clan unnies.
Everyone in the clan is nice except for that ahjussi.
...The snacks are delicious too.
In fact, she really didn't want to go to school because she liked clan life so much.
When she lived in Seongnam, there wasn't much to do at night, and since she usually spent time helping her mother after school ended, she didn't have many friends to hang out with.
Also, when Ha Baekryeon turned 9, the atmosphere in Seongnam was quite dangerous, so she couldn't go out to play even more.
Compared to that, how different was the life spent at Pandora Clan.
'─Baekryeon, make sure to put on sunscreen when you go out. They say it's really hot today.'
Noh Euna and Ryu Yeonhwa were the people Ha Baekryeon got along with the most.
They approached her while breaking down her wariness and treated her kindly, recently worrying that her white skin might get tanned.
Especially when she was with Noh Euna, time seemed to pass really well.
I can't believe that unni is siblings with that ahjussi.
Of course, Ha Baekryeon still couldn't believe the fact that Noh Euna and Noh Eunha were siblings.
Noh Eunae came once before, and she seemed to resemble Noh Euna too, not Noh Eunha.
Meanwhile, she who also liked books got along well with Jeong Hayang who had the same hobby.
'Ah, Baekryeon came. Did you come to borrow books again? You must have already read the books you borrowed before. Amazing.'
Jeong Hayang was a bookworm.
She had many books, and there was a library located on the floor where she worked.
As a result, Ha Baekryeon could often meet her.
Each time, Jeong Hayang would approach warmly and recommend interesting books.
But a few days ago was different.
'If you want to read a slightly more difficult book, how about The Tale of Heungbu? It's quite... Seohyun unni?'
'Or how about reading this? It's called The Cloud Dream of the Nine, and although I don't like the ending, the story is quite interesting. There should be a comic version too.'
'Hmm... The Cloud Dream of the Nine is good too. They say it's a novel ahead of its time...'
That day when Ha Baekryeon went to borrow books, she unexpectedly met Han Seohyun too.
She who was talking with Jeong Hayang recommended books to Ha Baekryeon.
'Read them enjoyably.'
'...Thank you.'
A person whose inner thoughts can't be known.
Ha Baekryeon who initially showed aversion to her upon hearing she was Noh Eunha's wife realized she wasn't a bad person either.
She also knew the fact that she was being considerate of her.
As a result, she unconsciously found Han Seohyun difficult while also having considerable fondness for her.
Anyway─.
"─I don't want to go to school. I wish it would just become vacation soon... It's hard to wake up early in the morning too."
Noh Eunha was naturally a bad person and.
Although Jin Parang was a bit stupid.
Ha Baekryeon was feeling satisfied with clan life.
As a result, she didn't like the situation of having to go to school and study.
Fortunately, today is the opening ceremony so school will end early.
Ha Baekryeon was walking to elementary school while taking some comfort in that.
At that moment─.
"─Oh? Baekryeon!"
"Huh? Ah... Jean Valjean?"
On the way to school.
Ha Baekryeon had an unexpectedly surprising encounter.
She met Jean Valjean who she thought she would never see again.
Ha Baekryeon kept blinking, unable to believe if she was dreaming.
"Valjean! What are you doing here!? Did you move here too by any chance?"
"Well... That's how it turned out?"
"Then does that mean you'll go to the same school as me?"
"Uh, that's not it... We haven't moved long ago so I'm not sure, but my dad said we might go somewhere else."
"Really? That's too bad..."
Shaking Jean Valjean's hand vigorously.
Ha Baekryeon expressed her delight.
Jean Valjean spoke with a bitter smile, no different from her memory.
Huh? That smile looks familiar somewhere...
Such a thought suddenly occurred but.
Ha Baekryeon didn't pay much attention and caught up with Jean Valjean.
Hearing him, it seemed they could meet often now as he moved to this neighborhood.
"Ah! Then give me your house number. I have a smartphone now so I can contact you anytime!"
"Huh? Ah... Our house is in the middle of moving so we don't have a number yet..."
"Don't your parents have numbers either?"
"My dad doesn't have a smartphone..."
"Huh? Really?"
Nonsense.
But Ha Baekryeon saw Jean Valjean's face become troubled and decided to just pretend not to know.
Since he moved hurriedly from Seongnam, there must be a story Jean Valjean's family couldn't easily talk about.
So Ha Baekryeon vowed to be grateful that she could meet Jean Valjean again.
"Then I'll give you my number! Make sure to contact me!"
"Okay, I will. I'll ask my dad for a smartphone too. I should be able to make a number somehow."
"No, you don't have to do that. There's no need to do that just because of me..."
"I want to contact you too, and I think it would be good to have one considering what will happen in the future."
"Still... What if you get scolded by your dad for that."
"That won't happen. Don't worry."
Because she was still at a pure age.
Ha Baekryeon didn't feel any particular strangeness.
☆
He thought there would be opportunities to become close if Ha Baekryeon lived at the clan headquarters.
But Eunha's expectations were wrong.
Why is she prickly towards me while getting along well with others?
Ha Baekryeon got close with clan members, but still wasn't approaching Eunha.
Just like a sharp-tempered cat.
When she saw Eunha, she would go "hmph" and pretend not to know him as much as possible.
Eunha had to feel pain as if his heart was being torn.
I didn't want to act like Jean Valjean, but I have no choice.
But Baekryeon seems to have opened her heart quite a bit to Jean Valjean. For the time being, I should gather information on Baekryeon through Jean Valjean and escort her too.
In the end, Eunha used doppelganger magic to create Jean Valjean.
It seemed better to ask Twenty-Five to forge Jean Valjean's identity.
Meanwhile, as the second semester started, Eunha was appointed as a guest instructor at the Academy.
I'll be busy focusing on guest instructor work for a while, so it will be hard to pay attention to clan work. The days I go to the clan headquarters will decrease too, so opportunities to become close with Baekryeon will inevitably decrease that much.
So Eunha decided to create Jean Valjean due to various factors.
Anyway, just as Ha Baekryeon started school today, Eunha had to pack his bags and go to work at the Academy.
"─I didn't know you would come as an instructor like this when you were a student troubling me just two years ago."
"Have you been well, noona?"
"Do you think I could have been well? You pushed all the troublemakers to me, how could I have been well?"
"But there must have been a sense of fulfillment in teaching, right?"
"I should stop talking..."
Eunha, Ryu Yeonhwa, Jin Seona.
The three people selected as guest instructors from Pandora Clan visited Shin Seoyoung's instructor research room.
Shin Seoyoung welcomed the three while not forgetting to sigh.
"Well, anyway it's good to see your faces after a long time. It's been really long for you too, Yeonhwa."
"Yes, instructor. Have you been well..."
"You don't have to be so formal. You can just call me comfortably too. You can call me unni."
"Noona, but noona's ag..."
"Do you think you haven't changed at all even though you got married? I thought I should treat you a bit differently now that you've become a proper Clan Lord, but if you're this clueless..."
"Hey, unni. Eunha is acting like this because he's happy to see you. You know. Everything Eunha says should be taken oppositely for your mental health."
"At least Seona is perceptive."
Shin Seoyoung smiled slightly.
The four then enjoyed refreshments while sharing recent news.
Of course, the reason Eunha visited Shin Seoyoung was for another reason.
"So noona, how is it? Are there any good kids in noona's eyes?"
"Sorry, but I'm an instructor and now you're a Clan Lord who will recruit students I taught. I can't hand over students' personal information?"
"That's why I asked for noona's thoughts. Who seems decent?"
"Okay, I give up."
Shin Seoyoung had been working as an instructor for several years.
As such, she had developed an eye for discerning students.
Her eyes couldn't be ignored.
Eunha trusted her eyes more than information from the player industry.
He was able to find out information about promising students after persuading Jin Seona and her.
"These students probably have potential as casters and supporters."
"What about dealers, hunters, guardians?"
"I don't have much to do with kids who handle close combat weapons. Even if I tell you, it probably won't be different from the information you've encountered? Or ask <Sword Empress> nim."
"You mean Instructor Hwang Jinhee?"
"Yes, she has a better eye than me so go ask her later."
The living legend, <Sword Empress> Hwang Jinhee.
Eunha fell into thought hearing about her after a long time.
She doesn't seem to like me much but should I still go ask?
In fact, Hwang Jinhee was just an uncomfortable existence to Eunha.
He instinctively felt that he and she pursued different swords.
Nevertheless, Eunha decided to consider it for reference for now.
Since his clan also had her disciple <Divine Sword> Choi Eunhyuk, she would cooperate to some extent.
"─Then I'll get going now."
"Okay, take many good kids. And please take away the kids who follow you around like fanatics too."
"What? What fanatics?"
"I'm talking about the kids you left to me. I want to graduate from those kids soon and rest comfortably."
Eventually finishing the conversation.
Eunha left Shin Seoyoung who was pretending to be tired behind.
Eunha who left the instructor research room walked slowly down the corridor.
"Have you decided who to recruit?"
"Iriya and the twin sisters are confirmed, and I'll recruit the rest appropriately considering balance. Now that we're adding Iriya, we have enough supporters, so let's not try hard to recruit supporters unless there are outstanding people."
"Then I'll look for people excluding supporters. And I'll pick out a couple telepathists too."
"Please take care of telepathists."
"Got it."
Even though she already graduated.
The connections Jin Seona made with Ain students when she attended the Academy were still functioning.
To this, Eunha decided to leave telepathist talent entirely to her.
"And Yeonhwa noona..."
"Yes."
Soon Eunha spoke to Ryu Yeonhwa who had been unusually quiet today.
"Can Yeonhwa noona meet <Sword Empress> nim and gather information on promising students? I think noona is acquainted with <Sword Empress> nim..."
"I've never met <Sword Empress> nim. I only know that she's acquainted with grandfather."
"But <Sword Empress> nim would like noona unlike me."
"Okay, I'll try that then."
Eunha decided to send Ryu Yeonhwa to Hwang Jinhee to find out information about students.
Ryu Yeonhwa nodded to his request without complaint.
"─Then I have lecture preparations to do so I'll go ahead first."
"Okay, see you later."
"See you later, unni."
Soon Ryu Yeonhwa left.
Eunha and Seona waved to her as she moved away.
"─I've been thinking lately."
"Yes."
Ryu Yeonhwa moves away.
Eunha who withdrew his hand opened his mouth.
"These days I feel like Yeonhwa noona is avoiding me."
"Ah, really?"
Eunha muttered blankly.
At first he thought it was just his feeling, but now he could tell for sure.
He hadn't known because there hadn't been many opportunities to be entangled with her until now.
But he could realize it as he had more occasions to mingle with her after becoming an Academy guest instructor this time.
"Did I do something wrong..."
"Papa?"
She doesn't seem to dislike me.
But she seems to be trying to keep a distance.
Eunha could only groan, unable to understand her intention.
Then Jin Seona sighed.
"─Just pretend not to know."
"Huh? Do you know why she's doing that?"
"I didn't hear from Yeonhwa unni, but I can guess roughly."
"What is it?"
"Your rings."
Jin Seona pointed at Eunha's hand.
Two on the left hand, one on the right hand.
Han Seohyun, Jeong Hayang, Lee Yujung.
He was wearing rings matched with each of the three people.
Left ring finger, Han Seohyun's wedding ring.
Left middle finger, Jeong Hayang's engagement ring.
Right ring finger, Lee Yujung's engagement ring.
Since he was wearing three rings, it naturally drew attention.
Jin Seona pointed at Eunha's hand while opening her sleepy eyes.
"What thoughts would you have seeing that? Even I don't know how to treat you, so how do you think Yeonhwa unni feels."
"..."
"This is natural. So you just pretend not to know. Don't say stupid things like chasing after Yeonhwa unni and asking why she's avoiding you."
Making a "hmph" sound.
Jin Seona moved forward wagging her tail.
The fox slapped his butt with her tail.
"─I have to prepare for lectures too so I'll go ahead first."
"Bibi bibi papa papa pupu pu!"
Buldak saw Jin Seona off and.
Eunha stood rooted to the spot.
Soon he smiled bitterly.
"Well, I guess everyone can't treat me comfortably anymore now."
Eunha newly realized the fact that he was a married man.
☆
<Crimson Wing> Noh Eunha.
The player who made the greatest contribution in the Seoul invasion is conducting lectures as a guest instructor.
The rumor spread in an instant.
"Eunha hyung came as a guest instructor? Then I should go greet him!"
"Which class is it? I'm trying to register for that class now but it's not in the syllabus."
"They say classes taught by guest instructors aren't listed in the syllabus until final confirmation. There, try selecting the mana
"There, try selecting the mana application practical category. There should be a few lectures without an instructor name listed."
"I heard <Crimson Wing> nim isn't conducting classes alone? They say it's classes conducted together with people coming from other clans."
"So what! I'm curious what classes <Crimson Wing> nim will conduct!"
Academy students were very excited.
First, students who had some acquaintance with Noh Eunha while attending middle and high school Academy responded greatly.
The number was considerable.
It was because it had been 1 year since Noh Eunha graduated.
As a result, Eunha's recognition among them was extremely high.
The name "Noh Eunha faction" was still stimulating their admiration.
Is that all?
Now Noh Eunha was being treated as a legend of the Academy.
"You guys may have confirmed senior Noh Eunha's skills in the Seoul invasion, but we knew much earlier."
"It was when I was in 1st year of middle school Academy. You guys didn't see the achievement of senior Eunha beheading the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and gaining the alias <Quick-witted Sword> then?"
"When I entered middle school Academy, I heard senior Noh Eunha killed the 4th rank monster Gakgunbong in the Academy dungeon!"
The anecdote of obtaining Pride's Counterattack.
The anecdote from Japan.
The anecdote of defeating Gakgunbong, etc.
The anecdotes Eunha made at the Academy were achievements that none of the students following him could achieve.
Furthermore, his achievements in the Seoul invasion were even recorded in history to be passed down to future generations.
Moreover─.
"─Let's go hear the Lord's words."
""""Amen.""""
There were also quite a lot of students who joined the Eunha Religion at the Academy.
It was because Iriya occasionally promoted the religious order and drew them in as believers.
As a result, students flocked to the lecture hall to hear Eunha's classes.
""""..."
In the end, the lecture hall was filled to capacity to the point it couldn't accommodate all the students.
The situation even occurred where Shin Seoyoung and instructors came to drive out those not taking the lecture.
"How can this be! You should guarantee students' right to take classes! How can you do this when students want to take the class!"
"What's the reason I'm paying expensive tuition to attend the Academy! Of course to take the classes I want..."
""""...!!""""
A temporary commotion even broke out.
Shin Seoyoung and the instructors had to soothe the angry students while exhausted.
As a result, they made it so Eunha's lectures could be audited online too.
Only then could the instructors somewhat quell the students' complaints.
"I can't live because of this kid..."
It was unprecedented at the Academy.
With this, Eunha achieved unprecedented things as a guest instructor just as he did as a student.
The instructors recalled Noh Eunha's student days anecdotes anew and shuddered.
Anyway, although there was a brief commotion, Eunha's lecture proceeded safely.
"─Hello. I'm Pandora Clan Lord Noh Eunha. As you know, I'm called by the undeserved alias <Crimson Wing>."
Mana Application Practical Edition.
In fact, Eunha didn't intervene much in the lectures planned by the guest instructors.
He just put his name on it like putting a spoon on a table.
"What I'll teach you today is mana efficiency. This is what made me be in this position now..."
""""..."
But the positions of the guest instructors and Eunha were completely reversed.
The guest instructors ended up handing over the role of leading the lecture to Eunha, pushed by student opinion.
It was truly a case of the servant becoming the master.
They could only look at Eunha dejectedly but helplessly.
Although it was unfair, it wasn't bad from their standpoint either.
In any case, many students registered for their classes.
There would be a limit to how many people Eunha could teach, so they just had to teach the remaining people.
And in fact─.
"─When I was an Academy student, I taught this to clan members too, but they found it unexpectedly difficult."
""""..."
Ironically, it wasn't just students who were paying attention to Noh Eunha's lecture.
Even the people who came as guest instructors were inwardly curious about his lecture.
As a result, they were also listening to his lecture.
To this, Eunha lectured about mana efficiency without minding, saying it was the reason that made him be in this position now.
"So I'll show you visually to make it a little easier to understand."
All beings have mana.
The mana beings have differs according to the internal mana amount stored in the heart.
In other words, it can be said that people's hearts have predetermined allowances for storing mana.
This is an area that cannot be easily changed through effort and practice.
Therefore, people with low internal mana amounts have no choice but to devise ways to increase quality rather than capacity.
"─So people like me have to pack mana tightly until the heart can withstand it, or somehow pack only the efficiency..."
""""..."
"And the way each person packs it varies greatly. So my method can't be said to be absolutely right. If you think my method doesn't suit you, then it's better to give up and find a method that suits you."
Eunha lightly snapped his fingers.
To this, the mana dissolved in the atmosphere was activated to the point it could be seen with the naked eye.
He stimulated the mana dissolved in the atmosphere by flowing his own mana.
"─I can't show you the method of refining internal mana, so I'll talk about the process of absorbing magic dissolved in the atmosphere into the body. Probably most people will accept mana dissolved in the atmosphere as is when fighting intense battles. They don't filter well."
""""..."
There were two well-known methods for increasing efficiency.
Absorb only the mana with the strongest properties among mana particles.
Or compress mana with weak properties to create mana with strong properties, utilizing mana's characteristic of being ubiquitous.
"But I use not only those two methods, but other methods too."
Soon Eunha demonstrated.
The mana surging around Eunha fluctuated greatly.
Soon the color of the mana deepened.
He increased the quality by removing impurities among the elements constituting mana.
To use an analogy, it was like evaporating salt water to leave only salt.
"What, it's nothing spe..."
"And I do it once more."
""""..."
It was a method not much different from what other players use.
It wasn't elaborate or complex either.
So guest instructors and students couldn't hide their disappointment.
Right at that moment, Eunha stimulated the mana floating around again.
The deep-colored mana fluctuated for a moment and reduced in volume.
The mana that had been surging greatly around him until just now decreased, and instead the color deepened even more.
"I do it once more."
""""..."
"I do this process over ten times. Mana is a power that has no end no matter how much you refine it. It's best to practice to make this possible in battle too."
Once, twice, thrice...
That day, Eunha refined mana and absorbed it into his body over 10 times in front of people.
People were dumbfounded seeing the mana that strangely darkened the surroundings despite shining.
"─It's easy when you see it directly with your eyes, right? Hmm, if you join our clan, I'll teach you in more detail then. Ah, I'm not promoting. So please don't misunderstand."
"How does that work..."
""""..."
People were dumbfounded.
The guest instructors lost the energy to protest even if Eunha almost openly promoted his clan.
They say the students were tempted by such an obvious trick.
