Episode 36

Everyone held their breath with nervous hearts as they stared at the entrance of the Education Hall.

‘They’ll surely make a loud ruckus!’

‘Or maybe they’ll show some changed behavior?’

The place where countless people’s gazes were focused.

There, the children stood in a single file line.

Then, weren’t they walking calmly toward their parents?

The children who would normally fall on their bottoms or scream loudly!

It was strange.

But the parents watched the children with extreme tension.

‘We must never let our guard down…’

The opponents were powerful troublemakers, after all.

But then, the children came to them and politely bowed 90 degrees in a respectful posture.

“Mother, it’s been a long time. Though it’s only been six hours since this morning.”

In the atmosphere filled with silence, Lady Morite quietly murmured.

“Who are you? Are you a monster wearing my son’s face?”

While the parents were stunned.

The most unruly boy among them, Hari, spoke.

“Grandmother. Why are you standing? Please sit in this chair.”

The boy’s grandmother, Ari Countess’s expression stiffened.

“This old woman doesn’t trust you. Did you put some insects on that chair?”

Wasn’t he the troublesome seven-year-old who used to roll his eyes around looking for mischief?

But why had he suddenly changed?

The answer to that question came easily.

The classroom door opened and Fiona appeared.

‘Ah! Is that the teacher? The person who reformed the children?’

Since all the children attending the Education Hall had been reformed.

It was reasonable to assume the teacher had educated them.

‘How did she save these debaucherous children who lived carelessly, consumed by the Northern Region’s magic!’

Was she truly an amazing master teacher!

The frail teacher, receiving everyone’s sparkling gazes, wiped the sweat flowing down her forehead.

“That… it wasn’t me. The person who educated your children is here.”

In the center of everyone’s attention stood a brave child.

The youngest daughter of this family, Airi Ortejo.

There had been some dismissive looks since she couldn’t speak properly and was deemed likely to die soon.

They had heard rumors that she recently came to the Northern Region and received an immunity assessment again.

But that Airi was…

“That’s not true. It’s the grace of my teacher!”

“…”

“The grace of a teacher is great, I said. Right, everyone?”

The troublemaker boys all looked at Airi simultaneously.

This was trouble.

The children here were wild and rude without knowing better.

Even if they were somewhat reformed, they would surely bully that sickly, tiny girl.

But…

“Yes, it’s great!”

Everyone chorused loudly that ‘the teacher’s grace is great.’

The parents who saw this were thrilled.

What kind of miracle was this? Unless black magic was used!

Just as everyone’s eyes widened.

Lady Morite grabbed the back of her neck and collapsed.

“What should we do? O-our child has changed. Honey!”

Fainting in shock.

That phrase fit the moment perfectly.

And the child at the center of that storm.

Five-year-old Airi put strength in her tiptoes and grinned.

If you’re surprised by just this, what will you do next!

“Attention! Everyone salute your parents!”

Bow.

The children politely lowered their heads.

When everyone was thrilled.

Just one person.

Ellen, Morgan’s mother, shouted with an unpleasant expression.

“I’ve been watching and I can’t stand it anymore!”

The voice of the 190cm tall woman putting all her strength into her stomach was powerful.

“What on earth are you all talking about? The children’s condition is strange! Even our Morgan became a gentleman!”

Morgan’s eyes looked intelligent. He didn’t even raise his voice.

Morgan’s personality was completely ruined!

Ellen caught her breath and said.

“So, Lady Airi did all of this?”

Ellen glared with fierce eyes and walked toward Airi.

It was a rogue-like attitude, not caring that class was about to start.

* * *

Meanwhile, Airi, who had been standing straight, greeting, and was about to return to her seat.

This child looked at Ellen walking toward her.

‘Huh, gasp. She looks really scary.’

It would be hard to handle if a fierce adult scolded her.

Then, Karhen quietly murmured.

“Should I take her out?”

Although Airi was a child, she knew well about the conflicts between Hybrid Monsters and nobles.

When Airi shook her head, Ellen approached.

“Princess Airi!”

“H-hello.”

“I heard you taught our child at school this time! No, our child came home complaining about becoming a gentleman, and I was in tears, really… Our child is completely ruined!”

Was Ellen embarrassed about suddenly causing a scene in the classroom?

Morgan, who couldn’t bear the situation due to gaining just a little social awareness, screamed.

“N-n-no! I-I-I’m not that ruined! You don’t need to say anything to Airi!”

“He’s even taking his friend’s side! Oh my, because of one wrong friend, a child who should become a warrior suddenly…”

Ellen’s world was collapsing.

She strode up to Airi’s desk.

For Ellen, it was an effort to resolve a situation she absolutely couldn’t understand.

But to Airi, it felt threatening.

Then, Cookie sent a telepathic message.

[Damn! Should I punch that woman’s nose? Will these damn cookie hands crumble?!]

Airi smiled slightly. Thanks to Cookie in her pocket talking to her, she could relax a little.

But…

“Why are you smiling? What happened to Morgan, Lady Airi!”

Just when Airi’s pupils were shaking violently under Ellen’s pressure.

Just when Karhen, clenching his fists, was considering using his abilities to defeat Ellen.

The rear entrance of the classroom opened with a creaking sound.

The person who appeared, pushing through the crowd watching Ellen and Airi’s conversation, was none other than….

“What’s this, you.”

It was Lord Ortejo.

Airi blinked her eyes.

‘Wh-what are those clothes?’

He was even dressed in ‘an extremely well-dressed Northern Region style.’

In other words, neat hair slicked back with pomade and matching his bright red eyes….

“Isn’t that armor?”

He was wearing incredibly sturdy armor.

“That’s the formal uniform you only wear when meeting the spirits of deceased family heads, isn’t it?”

That appearance had an overwhelming presence that dominated everyone.

At this moment when everyone was shocked.

He held up the family newsletter and said.

“I came to see my daughter, so where should I sit?”

The flustered Ellen and her husband quickly bowed their heads.

“The parent seating is right here next to us.”

“Good. Before that, Ellen.”

“Yes?”

“Repeat what you just said to my daughter in front of my eyes.”

The flustered Ellen fell silent for a moment, then spoke boldly.

“I asked her not to be a bad influence on my son, as a request.”

From Ellen’s perspective, having lived only in a cold world, it was a sincere request.

But Declan glanced at Airi, whose face had turned pale, and said.

“It’s good when children become kind. What bad influence.”

“That’s…!”

“Why, shall I give your life some bad influence from now on?”

Cowardice is also inherited from the mother’s side.

Ellen quickly shut her mouth.

Airi rolled her eyes as she watched the standoff between Elder and Ellen.

Elder was, well, quite childish!

But perhaps thanks to such childishness.

The fear Ellen had felt melted away like thin ice on a spring day.

Declan grinned and gestured with his chin.

“So, aren’t you going to start the class?”
