The Organization Collapsed on My First Day of Infiltration Episode 130

 

 

I Think I Misunderstood

 

 

It was really just a moment.

I lowered my head for just a moment, and he moved from almost one end of the auditorium to the other?

 

“Ah, um, yes. Hello, Teacher Ziel.”

“What brings you to the auditorium?”

 

Lena was a bit flustered but answered calmly.

 

“Ah, um. Yes. I came to observe a class.”

“My class, you mean?”

“Yes. More precisely, the classes of Sword School faculty.”

“I see.”

 

Ziel just nodded.

 

‘Does he perhaps know about the personnel evaluation?’

 

That could be it.

Personnel evaluations are natural, after all.

She is also a Personnel Department employee.

 

“The class was interesting. You train the students… in a fascinating way.”

 

Lena changed direction, having almost said he puts them through hell.

Ziel’s response accepted it as is.

 

“Other professors don’t conduct this kind of training. I can see how it would be fascinating.”

“Usually that’s… right.”

“Training at a normal level won’t allow for rapid growth.”

 

Lena asked out of curiosity.

 

“Is there a particular reason for making them grow like that?”

 

Aiming for permanent employment conversion?

At best, he’s a liberal arts instructor.

Or maybe trying to become a professor later?

Or perhaps…

 

‘Is there another reason?’

 

But all of these were wrong.

 

“Because I’m a teacher.”

“Pardon?”

“Teaching students is a teacher’s role.”

 

Ziel added to this.

 

“And teaching better is the role of a good teacher.”

“Ah…”

 

An answer without the slightest waver!

For a moment, Lena’s gaze toward Ziel changed.

 

‘A true teacher, something like that?’

 

In fact, the majority of professors at both Sword School and Arcane School just follow the set curriculum.

The Academy itself isn’t a particularly good workplace to begin with.

Rather than Sword School professors, there are knight commanders and vice-commanders of famous knight orders.

Rather than Arcane School professors, there are the Magic Society, Magic Tower, or Imperial Guard.

There are many jobs that pay more money and offer much higher prestige.

So even if you work hard, you’ll just end up as a professor anyway…

 

‘There are passionate people everywhere.’

 

Lena felt a bit ashamed.

Though that doesn’t mean she was convinced by the training she just witnessed.

 

“The level of magic doll sparring seemed quite high, are the students keeping up well?”

“They will in the future. They adapted to some degree today as well.”

“For that, they looked quite struggling…”

“It’s fine. Physical strength recovers quickly.”

“What if the students get injured?”

“Then I’ll heal them. And if they’re about to suffer serious injuries, I’m there to prevent it.”

 

Ziel answered each question without the slightest hesitation!

 

“…”

 

This left Lena with nothing much to say.

She hadn’t come to criticize in the first place, but the class itself was so unreasonable that it ended up that way.

 

“I understand. I’ll continue to check on things going forward.”

“Yes. Please do so. But is there a reason for checking?”

“Well…”

 

Wait.

Does this person perhaps not know why I came?

 

“Of course, if you’re curious about the class, you’re welcome to observe anytime.”

“That…”

“Ah. And have you had dinner?”

 

No.

He knows.

 

‘He’s trying to fish for information right now, isn’t he? About how his evaluation is going?’

 

“No. I haven’t done that. But I…”

“I understand. I need to go eat.”

“Excuse me?”

“I’ll be going now.”

“Wait, hold on. Then why did you ask…”

“I read it in a book. It said it’s good manners to ask.”

“…”

“Well then.”

 

Ziel briefly greeted and left the auditorium.

 

Clunk.

 

As the auditorium door closed, Lena muttered with an incredulous expression.

 

“No matter how I look at it, he’s a strange person…”

 

 

Ziel’s class that Lena and Emeric worry about, and Titus anticipates.

Most people can’t help but worry.

Setting the magic doll to Grand Knight level, plus the added Variable Logic!

It’s a difficult class even for Fourth Years, no, even Fifth Years, but First Years are doing it?

 

‘It’s about time for seriously injured students to appear.’

 

Professor Titus came to check directly again since there was no news from Emeric.

There was nothing to worry about.

If anything happened, he could just blame it on Emeric.

 

‘His expression should be quite something to look forward to.’

 

Titus entered the auditorium with an expression full of anticipation.

 

“Argh!”

“Ugh!”

“Hey, it, it really hurts!”

“Of course it hurts when you get hit!”

 

Good sounds.

Titus opened the door with a satisfied smile.

The scene was also very good.

Students were constantly rolling, getting hit, and falling down.

 

‘Getting one seriously injured student would be no problem at all.’

 

No wait.

Maybe there already is one but they’re hiding it?

 

‘One, two, three, four… Hmm? It seems like all 50 are here…’

 

All 50 students were present in the class with a 50-student capacity.

That aside…

 

‘There are no seriously injured students?’

 

There didn’t seem to be any severely injured students.

 

‘Is it because of the healing?’

 

From what he could see, Ziel and the Teaching Assistant were immediately giving first aid to injured students.

What was strange was that students who received such treatment immediately got up and waited for their next turn while doing separate training.

 

“Your response was slow when you allowed those 2 attacks just now. Your left foot was positioned too deeply. Pay more attention to that, Student Omar Lucon.”

“Yes, Teacher!”

 

Feedback in between was a bonus.

Of course, he wasn’t interested.

 

‘Are they secretly giving them something to take?’

 

He wondered if they were giving them some dangerous medicine, but that didn’t seem to be the case either.

 

‘Then why… are they all fine?’

 

“Argh!”

“Ah! Ah! I surrender! I surrender!”

“They really attack without holding back!”

 

The students were still rolling, getting hit, and falling down.

Some were even blocking attacks and counterattacking!

 

Clang!

 

“I did it! I blocked it! Ah! My arm, my arm!”

“Focus, Student Karen Aswan.”

“Yes, yes sir.”

 

But there were no seriously injured students that Titus was expecting.

 

“…”

 

Emeric, whose eyes met his at that moment.

He was wearing an awkward smile.

That expression showing he was also in a difficult position.

 

“Ah.”

 

The decisive reason soon became clear.

 

‘Oh!’

 

A scene that caught his eye at just the right moment.

One student was left defenseless against a magic doll’s attack.

Seeing the student looking in another direction, Titus clenched his fist.

 

‘Perfect…’

 

But then.

 

Clang!

 

Ziel intervened, deflecting the magic doll’s attack with his sword and instantly turned around.

And the magic doll collapsed limply.

Titus’s jaw dropped.

 

‘This is impossible.’

 

“I, I’m alive. Thank you!”

“It seems your concentration wavered for a moment. Focus, student Lydia Rojas.”

“Yes! I’m sorry!”

 

Does that even make sense?

 

‘The reason there were no seriously injured…’

 

Healing aside, and the students’ improvement aside…

Ziel was blocking all the critical injuries.

There was also the teaching assistant here.

 

“Whoa, Teaching Assistant.”

“Hehe. Student Coleda. Focus. If I hadn’t blocked it, you would have seriously injured your leg.”

“Thank you!”

 

‘Not as much as that bastard Ziel, but… he seems quite skilled.’

 

Meanwhile, Gilbert was craving praise cards.

 

“Hehe, I should be able to get one with this much.”

“Huh? Get what?”

“Nothing. Focus again.”

 

Titus was tense.

Nothing was going as he wanted.

 

‘Why aren’t there any seriously injured students!’

 

It seemed a different scheme was needed.

A scheme so certain and powerful that there would be absolutely no escape!

Titus became absorbed in thought, unaware that eyes were gradually focusing on him.

 

“Isn’t that the Arcane School professor we saw before?”

“Is he managing our magic dolls?”

“Arcane School must think very highly of Teacher Ziel.”

“As expected of Teacher Ziel.”

“Arcane School manages things very thoroughly. Is it because it’s expensive?”

“It’s thanks to Teacher Ziel, I tell you?”

 

Amid the unintended misunderstandings on his part, the class ended.

 

“That concludes today’s lesson.”

 

And Ziel approached.

 

“Professor Titus.”

“Wh, what a surprise!”

“I’ve been standing here for a while.”

“I, is that so? Ha, hahaha.”

 

Titus laughed awkwardly.

 

“Ahem. I came to check on the magic dolls.”

“You show a lot of interest.”

“Of course. They’re precious assets of our Arcane School.”

 

This was genuine.

Even just one had a price that ordinary people could never dream of!

The price aside, the cost of maintaining and repairing them was enormous.

Even Professor Emeric wasn’t a perfect expert.

Like when he was helpless against magic doll malfunctions during practicals, he could manage settings reasonably well, but handling the body including joints and skin of magic dolls was another specialized field!

Anyway, considering the costs of those people, magic dolls required enormous amounts of money.

 

‘And they’re using 50 of them just for Sword School training…’

 

“Thank you for taking care of them, Professor Titus.”

“Ahem. Hmm. It’s only natural.”

 

It would be a disaster if they broke.

He was already being watched by other professors for lending a large number of magic dolls to Sword School.

No matter how influential he was, it was an unreasonable situation.

 

‘Damn it, I need to get this guy out quickly…’

 

Just as his worries were deepening, Ziel spoke.

 

“I think I misunderstood.”

“Huh?”

“I thought Professor Titus was doing this because he was being blackmailed.”

“….”

 

What the hell is this guy who casually mentions the fact that he blackmailed me?

And what’s this about a misunderstanding?

 

“What… do you mean?”

“While you were blackmailed, I realized that aside from that, you’re genuinely sincere about helping the students.”

 

No, I’m not.

Not at all.

Please, I hope those students fall into crisis!

 

“Thanks to the Variable Logic that Professor Titus added, the students’ development rate has increased by an average of over 10%. Some students are showing growth rates of over 15%.”

“That…”

“Thank you. It’s all thanks to Professor Titus.”

 

Titus was certain.

That this bastard Ziel was mocking him.

 

‘Damn it, my princesses… no, if only my hobby hadn’t been discovered…’

 

Though he was bursting with frustration, all Titus could do here was smile awkwardly.

 

“Ha, haha… Yes. I’m glad to hear that. Please continue to take good care of our Arcane School’s Magic Dolls. They’re very expensive, you know.”

“Yes. I will. Oh, and you previously told me to ask for anything. So I’d like to request borrowing some magical tools.”

 

What a highway robber.

 

‘Does he actually do it just because I said he could?’

 

“Among the magical tools, there’s equipment that visualizes the flow of mana. Its name was ‘Flow Vision.'”

“….”

 

A real highway robber indeed.

In terms of price, it was over 10 times more expensive than the Retilo that Ziel had borrowed first.

 

“You want to use that for… Sword School training?”

“Yes.”

“It doesn’t seem necessary…”

“No. It’s necessary. It will be of great help to the students’ training.”

 

50 Magic Dolls.

50 Retilos.

And now Flow Vision on top of that.

 

“Ah. For the quantity, please make it 30 units including spares. We plan to proceed with 2-person teams.”

 

Titus nodded with the feeling of coughing up blood.

 

“…I’ll let Professor Emeric know.”

“Thank you.”

 

Just wait a little.

This humiliation!

 

‘I’ll pay it all back with interest.’

 

Being used so shamefully like this, there’s no way the dignity of Arcane School’s power broker can survive…

 

“Huh? Professor Titus?”

 

That’s when it happened.

The auditorium door opened and three people entered.

Titus flinched.

 

‘Why are you all here?’

 

Arcane School.

They were professors from other grades there.

2nd Year.

4th Year.

And even 5th Year.

 

“Wait, what brings the professors to the Sword School Auditorium…”

“And what about Professor Titus… Oh, everything was here. My goodness, really 50 units…”

 

The other professors were amazed seeing the Magic Dolls.

Titus’s heart sank with a thud.

 

“Th-this is…”

 

The professors’ expressions weren’t good at all.

Of course they weren’t.

Sword School, which they always looked down on.

Lending 50 Magic Dolls to such a Sword School?

Especially when he was already being watched because of what happened at the Special Support System Review Committee.

 

“How did you all come here?”

“We heard rumors and wondered if it was true… We were looking around when we met Professor Emeric, and when we pressed him, he confessed.”

 

Things had gotten completely tangled up.

 

“I’ll explain everything. Let’s go somewhere and talk…”

 

Just when he thought he needed to get these three out of the auditorium.

 

“Sword School Liberal Arts Instructor, Ziel Steelheart.”

 

Ziel suddenly approached and offered his greeting.

 

“Judging by the strong scent of mana, you must all be professors.”

“Ah. That Sword School’s….”

“Thanks to the full support of Arcane School’s magic dolls and Professor Titus, our students are making great progress.”

 

Ziel was recalling what he had read in a book.

Always express gratitude for things you’re grateful for.

Such a natural teaching!

Ziel was following it exactly.

 

“Thank you. It’s all thanks to Arcane School and Professor Titus. Please continue to support us in the future.”

 

After finishing his light greeting, Ziel tried to leave the auditorium with Gilbert, passing by the bewildered professors.

 

“Class is over, so we’re planning to close the auditorium doors.”

“Ah, well, let’s go out for now. Professors.”

“Haha… What is this….”

“Professor Titus, what’s going on with Sword School?”

“That’s right. There’s no reason to help them like this….”

 

The three professors looked at the magic doll and then Professor Titus in turn before heading out of the auditorium.

And Titus, left alone, was trembling at Ziel’s unexpected praise.

 

‘I’m screwed….’

 

It seemed he had caused a big misunderstanding.
