The Organization Collapsed on My First Day of Infiltration Episode 222
The Dawning New Semester (4)
The first was Kelvin.
“Oh.”
“Whoa…”
“Ho… Oh…”
“No way…”
Everyone was shocked by his build, and one person recognized Kelvin.
“Big Sword?”
It was Professor Isabella.
When someone recognized him, Kelvin flinched and shrank back.
‘C-could this be someone I was involved with before?’
That couldn’t be.
Professor Isabella was born in the capital and had only ever lived in the capital.
No matter how famous a mercenary from the Western Region might be, there would be no reason for their paths to cross.
However, she had certainly heard of his reputation.
“You’ve brought quite an impressive person. How did you manage to recruit him?”
Isabella was genuinely curious.
Not about bringing a mercenary to the Academy.
But about what could have possibly convinced such a renowned expert from the Western Region to come here.
‘Ah, he must be assigned to handle the First Years.’
Regardless of his background, an expert was an expert.
It wouldn’t make sense unless he was handling First Years…
“Starting this semester, this is Assistant Instructor Kelvin, who will be guiding the Second Years together with Teacher Ziel.”
“…!”
“Good heavens…”
“A-Assistant Instructor?”
“For reference, Instructor Kelvin was a mercenary who made quite a name for himself in the Western Region. He even had an alias. ‘Big Sword.'”
The professors murmured among themselves.
Especially Merhen and Idel were flustered.
‘Why bring a lowly mercenary to such a place…’
But they couldn’t ask directly, so they asked indirectly.
“Did we… have an Assistant Instructor system?”
“We do. It’s written in the School Rules Book.”
“Ah.”
There was no way around it.
It actually really existed.
It was just that no one except Ziel had read the School Rules Book from beginning to end.
“For reference, the Assistant Instructor system applies equally to other professors as well. Please let me know if needed. While a talent screening process would be necessary, there are no special restrictions on Assistant Instructors.”
Considering that people usually become professors after serving as Teaching Assistants, this wasn’t something to assign to Teaching Assistants.
Rather, it seemed like it could be used meaningfully for students to gain experience.
‘That’s tempting?’
‘Who should I try assigning this to?’
Idel and Merhen were excited at the thought of having less work to do.
‘Hmm, I probably couldn’t bring someone of that caliber…’
And Elcanto, who roughly gauged Kelvin’s abilities and shook his head.
‘How on earth did Teacher Ziel manage to bring such an expert?’
The Assistant Instructor salary was obvious.
It would be lower than a Liberal Arts Instructor.
If he was a renowned mercenary from the Western Region, he must have made quite good money, so why would he give all that up to come to the Academy?
‘Is he recovering from an injury or something?’
For that to be the case, he was far too robust and fierce-looking, and his muscles were vibrantly alive.
In short, he had brought an impossibly skilled expert as an ‘Assistant Instructor.’
“Instructor Kelvin? Would you like to say a word?”
“…”
Was he a taciturn person?
‘He’s scary.’
Fierce-looking scars.
Rippling muscles.
An enormous build.
Though not visible now, surely the massive sword he must possess.
A sense of intimidation and tension was gradually filling the conference room…
“…”
“…”
Kelvin remained completely silent.
Being so timid, he had retreated to a corner again.
‘Uh, how should I say this? What should I do? Should I say please take care of me? Or maybe… Ah, damn I don’t know…’
That’s when Gilbert stepped forward.
“Ha, haha. You seem nervous.”
“Ah, I see.”
That was fortunate.
Being cornered like that, who knows what might have come out…
“The, the Second Years will win everything!”
“…”
Gilbert thought.
We’re screwed.
“Huh.”
Idel let out a hollow laugh in disbelief, and Merhen quietly stared at him wondering what this guy was about.
Ziel nodded as if he liked it.
“He has spirit.”
Elcanto also saw this and subtly agreed.
“You’ve brought an amazing person, Teacher Ziel. How did you find someone like that…”
“He asked me for guidance, so I took him as a subordinate.”
“Oh.”
It seemed like it would be good to become friends with him later.
He seemed like a rather taciturn person, but isn’t there a saying like that.
‘Silence is a supreme grade magic stone.’
And so Kelvin was misunderstood as a taciturn person.
It was understandable.
A mercenary who made a name for himself in the Western Region.
Plus that build and rough appearance.
Who would have imagined that such a person was being timid and searching for words to say?
“Then next… it’s the First Year supervising professor.”
And the introduction of new faculty continued.
“Don’t be surprised, this First Year supervising professor has been invited directly from the Imperial Knights.”
Another shock came before the shock of Kelvin’s assistant instructor appointment had even faded.
‘From the Imperial Knights…?’
If it were just that, it could have ended at this level.
The problem was the rank.
“Let me introduce, Sir Allix who is currently serving as an Execution Knight in the Imperial Knights.”
“…!”
Execution Knight!
The rank directly below Chief Knight.
A rank responsible for law and order within the knight order and able to exercise judgment and execution rights depending on the case!
‘Why would such a person come to the Academy…?’
“Greetings, Sword School faculty members. I am Alyx Rockbolt. Feel free to call me Professor Allix.”
Something was strange.
They definitely said he was ‘currently serving’, right?
“I plan to work alongside all of you while continuing my duties as an Imperial Knight.”
It was even stranger.
Could Academy professors have side jobs?
“This personnel decision was made at the direct request of the Imperial Knights and approved by His Imperial Majesty.”
“…!”
Berhal’s answer instantly resolved all those questions!
The Emperor.
The pinnacle of this Empire and an existence that was law itself.
Just one thing.
There was a new question.
‘Why would the Imperial Knights?’
The Imperial Knights would know well too.
That the title of Academy professor wasn’t that impressive.
Yet they couldn’t understand the reason for sending such precious personnel as an Execution Knight.
This question too was quickly resolved.
“May I explain, Department Head?”
“Please do, Professor Allix.”
Allix cleared his throat and finally explained the reason.
“The reason the Imperial Knights made this decision is none other than to repay Teacher Ziel Steelheart.”
Everyone’s gaze turned toward Ziel.
“Teacher Ziel stopped the wrongful actions of our Apprentice Member Johan during the Knight Order invitation training. As a result, no one was hurt and nothing happened.”
It was the incident where Apprentice Member Johan Altemann had gotten so excited that he harbored killing intent and attacked Delev.
But thanks to Ziel reading the killing intent in advance and rushing out, he was able to stop it.
If he hadn’t been able to stop it…
‘Right, if Teacher Ziel hadn’t stopped it then…’
‘Just imagining it is terrifying.’
The Imperial Palace would have fallen into a very difficult situation.
Several people in the Knight Order would have had to resign, and in severe cases, heads could have rolled.
Ziel had prevented that.
There was sufficient reason to repay him.
Incidentally, Johan who caused the incident also lived thanks to Ziel.
After going through a period of confinement and being released, he was ordered to serve 5 years of mandatory unpaid apprenticeship.
Instead of avoiding execution, he received fitting punishment.
‘I thought they’d treat me to a delicious meal.’
Ziel himself was actually disappointed.
Whoever came as the First Year professor, Ziel was in charge of Second Years.
There was nothing for him to worry about.
“Of course, the Commander will also personally repay you.”
Only then did Ziel nod.
“I understand.”
Allix was impressed by his composure without even the slightest change in expression.
‘He’s exactly the same as when I saw him then.’
It would be natural to show off and be proud, but there was none of that.
He truly was worthy of the man the Commander had personally mentioned and said was respectable.
Meanwhile, all the professors had no choice but to be convinced.
The fact that an Execution Knight from the Imperial Knights was being appointed to an Academy professorship.
But there was one thing they didn’t know.
“Incidentally, the competition was quite fierce. Not just me, but other Knight Order Members wanted to come too. It’s a very attractive position.”
Namely, that the status of Academy professorships was gradually changing.
And one more thing.
‘It would be good if you learned a lot from Teacher Ziel Steelheart, Sir Allix.’
There had been special instructions from Knight Commander Benjamin.
It seemed he had been greatly impressed after seeing the educational materials and curriculum he received from Ziel before the Knight Order camp began.
Allix had felt it too.
When the curriculum was applied and the Knight Order’s guidance was added, the students’ growth rate was no joke.
It was so different from the Knight Order’s existing predictions that they had to urgently change sparring partners.
In other words.
‘It’s for the development of our Knight Order.’
Allix hadn’t simply come to work as a First Year professor.
He had come to learn.
From Ziel.
“This year’s First Years are going to have a hard time. Whew.”
“He’s from the Imperial Knights and an Execution Knight at that…”
“The freshmen who were relieved to hear Teacher Ziel wouldn’t be teaching them are going to panic, aren’t they?”
The parents would probably panic too.
“I look forward to working with you, Professors. And Teacher Ziel.”
And the remaining person was someone who would work as a teaching assistant next to Allix.
He was an Official Member who had just escaped from apprenticeship.
“I’m Devon Asmal.”
With those words, the introduction of new faculty was completely finished.
The new faculty members also took their respective seats.
“Oh.”
However, Kelvin found himself in an awkward situation as his chair was a bit small.
That’s when Elcanto stepped forward.
“Haha, I should give you the chair I used until last year!”
A chair of different specifications that he had used because he was too fat!
Amazingly, it fit perfectly when Elcanto proudly brought the chair.
In other words, Elcanto’s past physique had matched the size of the now muscle-filled giant Kelvin!
‘I wonder if Professor Elcanto is amazing or if that instructor’s build is tremendous…’
“Now that everyone is seated, we should discuss next semester. Since we have newcomers, let me briefly explain – what you professors should focus on next year are exchange matches, practical training, and the Empire Swordsmanship Tournament. Among these, applications for the Empire Swordsmanship Tournament are submitted starting in March, so it will proceed right after the exchange matches.”
Berhal also casually mentioned their shortcomings.
“For quite a long period, Edelwein Academy has failed to produce a winner. But I think this time will be different.”
First, Second, and Third Years competing in the youth division.
Other grades in the young adult division.
The highest possibility was definitely the youth division.
Why?
Because there were students taught by Ziel.
When Berhal cast his gaze, Ziel opened his mouth.
“One of my students will win the youth division.”
As always, it was a definitive tone.
But I hadn’t expected the words that followed to be like that too.
“And I also plan to enter him in the youth division and make sure he places in at least the top 10.”
