The Organization Collapsed on My First Day of Infiltration Episode 228
The Beginning of the New Semester (4)
As expected, it was a struggle from the very first class.
The magic dolls that they had barely managed to adapt to last semester once again emerged as objects of terror.
“Ahhhhh, it’s coming!”
Just as she hastily raised her sword, her defensive timing a beat too late.
Clang!
Ziel intervened, blocking the sword and stopping the magic doll’s operation.
“Student Ellie Demicus, focus.”
“Y-yes! Phew. Thank you, Teacher.”
“In situations where your mana is suppressed, you need to move faster than you think and make decisions several steps ahead.”
“Yes!”
“I’m reactivating it.”
“Just one minute!”
“No.”
Ziel mercilessly reactivated the magic doll and moved to another location without delay.
This time it was Quantus.
“Hup! Huk!”
This time he didn’t intervene.
Unlike Ellie, Quantus was sturdy enough to get back up even after taking several hits.
“You bastard!”
And he simply grabbed the approaching magic doll, embraced it with his whole body, and rolled around with it.
“What is he doing…?”
The other friends nearby were bewildered, but Ziel nodded.
“Not a bad tactic.”
He had told them to face the magic dolls, but hadn’t specifically dictated how to face them.
In extreme situations, following only predetermined methods prevents growth.
“Haha! You can’t move now!”
Quantus was unintentionally following Ziel’s teachings well.
Of course, the magic doll’s strength was stronger than expected.
“Ugh!”
Quantus’s body flew through the air and crashed into the ground.
The magic doll had broken free from his restraint and sent Quantus flying!
“Argh!”
“You’re doing well, but why fight it barehanded?”
Quantus was doing well.
So was Yurio.
“Hup!”
Clang!
During the vacation period.
His own swift swordsmanship developed at the Knight Order camp.
Although he couldn’t achieve his original speed without using mana, Yurio was confident.
‘If I adapt to this, I’ll definitely be faster when I use mana again later.’
Mana’s influence on combat is tremendous. It enhances muscle strength, reflexes, and even judgment.
Sometimes mana is so important that without it, one feels like nothing.
Therefore, training like this with suppressed mana is still a rare thing!
But this was Ziel’s class.
‘There will definitely be an effect.’
Clang! Ching!
Yurio gritted his teeth and blocked the magic doll’s attack.
‘For now, I’ll focus on blocking rather than counterattacking.’
If he counterattacked carelessly, it would definitely target that opening.
Properly facing an output 6.7 with suppressed mana was out of the question.
He had to gradually get used to it.
“You’re doing well.”
Ziel nodded as he watched Yurio focusing thoroughly on defense.
There are such students.
Students who understand his intentions well and execute them.
Among them, if he had to pick the absolute best, it would definitely be Yurio.
His less than affluent background.
His physical strength that had hit rock bottom.
Therefore, Yurio always had to explore other paths rather than orthodox methods.
Thanks to that habit still remaining, when looking at everything, he could see much more broadly than others!
‘There’s even a chance he could be runner-up.’
Delev.
Celia.
He predicted their victory and runner-up positions.
However, Yurio’s growth rate was also quite remarkable.
Additionally, his friend Karen, while not quite at Yurio’s level, was showing sufficient results in her own right.
“Wh-whoa! Damn, I’m really going to die. Huff.”
“Karen, if you need to take a dump, go tell someone.”
“Yurio, you’re really dead!”
Karen’s talent wasn’t particularly outstanding among these 100 students, but she was still positioned in the upper ranks.
Having grown steadily at the camp, she was enduring well the output level Ziel had set.
The surprising ones were Delev and Celia.
The two students Ziel had high expectations for.
“They’re not doing well.”
The two strongest students were unexpectedly struggling the most.
“Huff, huff.”
Delev couldn’t believe it.
Was his level really only this much when mana was excluded?
“Focus, Student Delev Kundel.”
This was already the third time Teacher Ziel had saved him.
Celia’s situation wasn’t much different.
“I was really fine!”
“Do you really think so? If I hadn’t intervened, you would have allowed a direct hit.”
“…”
“Focus, Student Celia Rihart. Right now, you seem to have the lowest concentration among all the students.”
At that shocking statement, Celia was momentarily stunned.
‘I have low concentration?’
The two students who achieved the best results at the vacation Knight Order camp were herself and Delev.
On top of that, they even received hellish training from Teacher Ziel by chance before the vacation ended!
She had been in a state of overflowing confidence more than ever, but it all crashed to the ground in an instant.
The reason for struggling so much was simple.
‘They can’t assume situations without mana.’
Being as strong as they were, they were too accustomed and skilled at using their mana.
Since their talent was superior and growth was faster compared to other students, their adaptation had been the same way.
‘They’ll struggle more than others.’
Ziel assessed coldly.
He had no intention of being wary of their arrogance.
He was simply viewing this situation objectively.
‘I’ll have to keep watching.’
The most noticeable student was Yurio.
And surprisingly…
“Ugh!”
Maris was doing well.
Maris was also an upper-tier student.
In terms of talent and skill, he was skilled enough to rank after Delev, Celia, and Yurio.
But his growth rate was remarkable.
‘His height has increased quite a bit. About 5cm.’
He had also gained considerable muscle.
If you had to pick the student who changed the most in appearance, Maris would definitely be number one.
Originally, his height wasn’t particularly tall compared to other male students, but starting from the vacation, he had completely changed.
‘Smaller than Quantus but taller than Yurio.’
It wasn’t just his appearance that had changed.
“Gilbert.”
“Yes, Boss.”
“From the next class, adjust Student Maris Sopen’s output to 6.5.”
“What? You’re raising it by a whole 0.5?”
“Yes. That should be sufficient.”
“Understood, Boss. But Boss, will the kids be okay? They’re already dying.”
First class.
New semester.
Everything was full of things to adapt to.
“If they adapt, they’ll grow, and if they can’t, we’ll use other methods.”
It was a method he didn’t want to know about.
‘Kids, work hard. If you can’t, an even greater hell awaits…’
Meanwhile, Kelvin seemed to be greatly shocked by the Academy class he was seeing for the first time in his life.
‘This is… an Academy class!’
It was somewhat problematic that the first class he saw happened to be Ziel’s class, but Kelvin was convinced that his choice wasn’t wrong.
‘If I had entered here as a student… could I have received classes like this?’
During his abused childhood, he had run away from home without any plan.
There wasn’t a job he hadn’t tried.
He had to read people’s moods constantly.
He got beaten up terribly often too.
The only work young Kelvin, who wasn’t a noble, could do was rough labor.
‘I’m envious.’
That’s why he envied these students.
When he was their age, he had just joined a mercenary group and was rolling around in the mud.
If he had learned here too, could he have grown more than he has now?
‘My life might have been different.’
But Kelvin wasn’t someone who lived trapped by unattainable envy.
Rather, he was someone who had learned to look at the present while living as a mercenary.
At the same time, he was also someone who had learned how to look toward the future after meeting his master, Ziel.
‘I should teach them well!’
Kelvin reached a satisfying conclusion!
“Stop. We’re ending the Magic Doll Sparring. After a break, we’ll move on to person-to-person sparring.”
But he soon realized.
“Are you prepared, Kelvin?”
“P-prepared?”
“The kids are incredibly strong. Be nervous.”
As Gilbert said, the students’ skills were tremendous.
“Here we go!”
Last year.
Just like they had done to Ziel, the students formed groups and charged desperately, truly fierce.
“M-Master!”
Ziel didn’t go easy despite Kelvin’s pitiful call.
“Focus, Kelvin. The students are strong. If you lose focus even a little, you’ll get hit immediately.”
Ziel added one more wicked comment.
“If you allow an attack to land, we’ll enter training after class ends.”
The moment they heard those words, Gilbert and Kelvin gritted their teeth just like the students.
“Hup!”
“Oh! The new lecturer’s strength is no joke!”
“I’ll go in from behind!”
It wasn’t only the students who were growing.
“Killing two birds with one stone.”
Ziel wore a faint but pleased smile.
First day of the semester.
Berhal was making his rounds of classes today as well.
Of course, it was just sneaking peeks without the professors knowing.
What he was most curious about was naturally the 2nd year class that Ziel was in charge of!
‘How on earth is he conducting a class of 100 students simultaneously?’
Since Ziel said it was possible, it must be possible, but it would still be good to see it with his own eyes.
“Let’s see…”
Berhal, who entered the 2nd Year Auditorium, was shocked.
“This way, this way!”
“Our group is going around back!”
“Idiot! If you talk that loud, Teacher will hear everything!”
“Then how should I talk! Should we decide on hand signals?”
“Let’s decide! We’ll decide later!”
100 students were moving in perfect coordination, each forming their own groups.
Toward just two people.
While charging at Gilbert and Kelvin!
“Last year Teacher Ziel did it alone… This year he’s leaving it to the Teaching Assistant and Assistant Lecturer?”
That didn’t mean Ziel was just standing idle.
Even while watching with calm and expressionless eyes, he would move instantly to prevent dangerous situations.
“Gilbert, you put too much force into that last one.”
“I’m sorry, Boss!”
The students even made complaints that weren’t really complaints!
“Ah, Teacher! I could have blocked it! You don’t need to come next time!”
“No, you couldn’t have blocked it. Your arm would have been broken if it hit.”
“…Really?”
“Yes.”
A class of 100 students simultaneously.
He thought it wouldn’t work, but who knew it would turn out like this.
‘Teacher Ziel is observing everything. How is that even possible?’
Berhal stared blankly at the class, dumbfounded.
He was busy enough intervening here and there, yet he never let go of the evaluation sheet in his hand and didn’t forget to take notes.
“It wasn’t baseless confidence after all.”
At this moment when even a trace of worry disappeared!
Berhal left the auditorium without hesitation.
“Next is the First Years… and Third Year.”
The enthusiastic new Professor Allix.
And Elcanto, who was trying to change by casting off his previous self!
This would definitely be much better to watch than the 4th and 5th year classes, which would obviously be the same.
“Hmm?”
But what was this.
As he headed toward the First Year auditorium, something felt a bit strange.
‘Why is there a delicious smell?’
Berhal arrived at the First Year auditorium and went inside, only to be left speechless.
“Come on, there’s plenty, so eat well!”
“Yes!”
The greenhorn First Years.
And Allix smiling warmly as he watched those First Years.
So that meant…
“Professor Allix, what is all this…?”
“Ah! Department Head. You’re here? Haha. To get closer to the kids, I called in a chef I know well for today.”
“Uh… so why…”
“To get closer to the kids!”
“…”
So he was trying to win over the kids with food like this?
‘The method isn’t wrong, but…’
“Why, why? Is there something strange about it?”
“N-not really. It looks good. The kids eating well and all. Mm.”
“Don’t worry. I paid for it with my own money.”
“I… understand.”
Was it because he was overflowing with enthusiasm.
Anyway, it was nice to see them eating well.
Next, Berhal went to observe the Third Year class taught by Professor Elcanto.
“…”
And he encountered the exact same scene.
“Kids, you know, right? I have just one goal. Beat the 4th Years! Eat lots and lots, and get strong!”
“Yes!”
Did the two of them plan this together?
Berhal tilted his head in confusion.
‘Is this a trend?’
Unable to contain his curiosity, Berhal approached Elcanto and asked.
Then he got a strange answer in return.
“Huh? I thought Teacher Ziel was doing it too?”
“Teacher Ziel?”
“Yes. Since he was looking for a chef, I thought he was planning to cook for the kids…”
That wasn’t it.
He was looking for a chef to scout for the cooking facilities in the renovated Faculty Dormitory.
Berhal was well aware of this since he had already received a report about it.
‘What a copycat.’
In the end, this happened because they tried to imitate all of Ziel’s teaching methods.
“Is there some problem…?”
“No, it looks good. Yes, enjoy your meal.”
“Yes, Department Head. Thank you always for your support and encouragement!”
Elcanto didn’t forget to bow deeply, and Berhal, not entirely displeased with the sight, chuckled as he left the auditorium.
“Teacher Ziel is changing several people.”
But still, such a misunderstanding.
Just how much do they want to be like Teacher Ziel to go that far…
“Excuse me, but do you know where the 2nd Year Auditorium is?”
At that moment, Berhal turned his head at the voice from behind.
And he was shocked.
“What is all this?”
“Ah, this is a delivery for Mr. Ziel Steelheart, the teacher in charge of Sword School’s 2nd Years. These are items that need to be delivered directly.”
Neatly packaged boxes, a whopping 111 of them!
“Where are you from?”
“I came from the Deshaf Family.”
“What’s inside is…”
“It’s called the Deshaf Family’s special dessert tower?”
“Pardon?”
After giving directions to the 2nd Year Auditorium, Berhal muttered in a daze.
The Deshaf Family’s dessert tower was a famous delicacy that even he knew well!
“Teacher Ziel really operates on a different scale…”
Ziel was always one step ahead.
