CH 141

: Young Kkondae (1)

Well.

Jamie stood in front of the mirror.

He wore a brown jacket over a white shirt, and a bow tie was wrapped around his neck.

The bottoms were brown cotton shorts, as if they had been matched, and white socks that covered up to the shins were also worn.

"Isn't this what you wear to school events?"

Saying so, he frowned.

Siegfried said, 'A student is also a teacher' and said that dignified attire is necessary and brought it as a set.

Top and bottom are good. The bow tie was annoying, but it wasn't to the point that I couldn't see it.

But aren't the long white socks that cover the shins too childish?

Actually, it is true that he is a child now, but from today he was a student at the Phoenix Academy.

It is a position where students are taught.

'I'm sure your mother will like it.'

If Sears had been by his side, he would have croaked, hugged and kissed.

Just thinking about it made me shiver.

I was really happy being alone.

"Take off your socks."

No matter how you look at it, this is like a childish fashion going to a school festival. I'm not very interested in fashion, but it's a place where Myeong-saek comes out as a teacher, can't you just lose your authority?

Jamie took off her socks and put on her shoes.

First day at the academy. No tension or anything like that. If the mighty warlock who opposed the 12 gods was nervous about even this kind of thing, it would be a joke that even a passing mutt wouldn't laugh.

It wasn't that I wasn't expecting it.

According to Siegfried, the class that Jamie will be in charge of is the Alpha class, which consists of only the elite from the elementary school.

I didn't know if there were any unfinished gemstones, or if all of them would only disappoint me with their mere abilities.

'I wish it was the former.'

Even if it was only for a month, I thought I would do my best as long as I could teach. But if there are only those who are lacking, wouldn't the taste of teaching be diminished?

With that thought in mind, Jamie walked to the office.

* * *

Phoenix Academy.

A wizard training institution established in his later years by Amel Fast, who was called the great wizard and who contributed to the founding of the Seldam Kingdom.

It is an academy with a long history after the 'Royal Sorcerer's Academy' in the magical kingdom of Clone, and is the most widely known of the three academies established in the magic world.

Like an academy that has been around for hundreds of years, it exudes an old-fashioned atmosphere that does not match the near-future magical world.

It was also the only place where students were forced to wear school uniforms.

Orthodox or whatever.

In any case, the wizards that make a name for themselves today are usually from Phoenix Academy.

To such a place, a young, no, young teacher, who had just turned 8 this year, was appointed.

"Follow me this way."

A middle-aged man with short gray hair neatly tucked back said with a smile.

His name is Javelin Cutter. He was the homeroom teacher of the Alpha Class, an advanced elementary class at Phoenix Academy.

The person following him... .

"Aren't you nervous?"

Yeah? Oh, it's okay."

It was Jamie Welton.

He had just arrived at the academy, where he met Javelin, a dedicated shooter, and was currently heading to the school's office.

"You're taller than I thought."

is that so?

Yeah. His son is thirteen this year, and he's a little taller than Jamie's."

It was easy to call Jamie, but he didn't. It could be because of his status, but after talking to him a few times, he was a person who knew how to be considerate of others.

In that regard, the first impression was favorable.

"This is the teaching room."

"It's old."

haha. The whole building is old. It's a 500-year-old building."

The history of the Kingdom of Seldam was about that, and the history of the Phoenix Academy was similar.

Still, the doors and windows were clean in their own way, as they had recently been replaced with new ones. When I opened the door, I saw a classroom equipped with the latest technology, unlike the appearance.

Jamie gave a little admiration, and Javelin smiled.

Five.

"Isn't it different?"

Yeah. awesome.

"Since then, it is an academy that represents the magic world."

Javelin walked forward, telling her to follow her.

Meanwhile, Jamie looked around and exchanged greetings with other teachers who made eye contact.

Wow! Popular star!"

Then, someone shouted in a startled voice.

Looking to the side, there was a glamorous woman with wavy blue hair that fell down to her waist.

She, who looked to be about twenty-six, approached Jamie with her eyes shining.

"Please sign!"

At first he held out a piece of paper and a pen, but Jamie had no choice but to open his eyes wide in the sudden situation.

"Miss Sophia. I think Jamie was surprised."

Javelin sent Jamie back and stopped her with a smile. It was then that the blue-haired woman, Sophia, recognized my mistake with a small voice.

Ah. I'm sorry. It's my first time seeing the real thing, so I don't know... Hehe.

When she apologized, Jamie replied in a bewildered voice.

"No, what. But star... Yo?

"You didn't know?!"

When Jamie asked with an unfamiliar face, Sophia's eyes lit up again and Javelin stopped her from approaching.

"Miss Sophia?"

"Ah! Again I stop without knowing... . Jamie-sama is a national star right now, but you didn't know it!"

" Yeah?

"The nobleman of the Welton family! A genius wizard who reached class 6 at a young age! Apton's hero! The saint of the Pyro goddess! It is already the most popular among girls!"

At those words, Jamie couldn't help but be embarrassed.

What does this mean?

He was well aware that rumors about him were spreading everywhere. Since you've done a decent job, it's only natural if it's natural.

But are you a star?

"You really don't know. Then, this older sister will kindly inform you, so come here for a moment... ."

"Miss Sophia, we have work, so let's go first."

" Oh, sorry."

Sophia nodded her head with a sullen face and went on her way. Then, as he glanced behind him, his face was overflowing with regret.

Jamie looked around with a puzzled expression.

'this.'

The other young female teachers were also looking at her with a face similar to Sophia's.

haha. Let's get out of here quickly."

"Yeah, it is."

Javelin and Jamie increased their walking speed.

* * *

"Whoa."

Jamie entered the counseling room and let out a long sigh.

Seeing that, Javelin laughed at what made it so funny.

"Sit down for now. I will explain to you what to do."

Javelin made two cups of tea and placed them on the table.

Jamie, slightly upset, poured cold air into the car, chilled it, and drank it in one breath.

"Are you thirsty?"

"I am a little surprised."

The appearance of Sophia, who suddenly ran to her as a star.

It wasn't hostile, but it was the first time I was treated that way, so I was a little surprised.

As Jamie took another sip, Javelin rubbed the teacup.

"Mr. Jamie is hot among the kids these days. Especially among girls and women in their twenties, there is a craze for Mr. Jamie."

" craze? why?

"Isn't it because he is a nobleman of the Welton family, a magic genius who reached class 6 at the age of 8, a hero of Apton, and a saint of the goddess Pyro?"

"Isn't that what Sophia said?"

Ha ha ha ha ha. Yes.

This person has a kind face and knows how to make fun of people.

Jamie coughed with an uncomfortable look.

"Hmmmm. Anyway, what should I do from today?"

Teachers are not formal teachers.

It is an abbreviation for 'education trainee', and in simple terms, those who dreamed of becoming teachers came to the academy as pre-service teachers.

So, the task wasn't too much and it wasn't difficult.

However, that is only true for ordinary students. Jamie was no ordinary student.

"First, you have to decide what subject you are responsible for. If it's 6th class, it doesn't really matter what subject you take, but I would like you to take a subject that is of a somewhat higher level. I think it will be good for the students as well."

Saying so, Javelin showed me the class sheet.

Obviously, the subjects listed were quite high-level.

"Choose the subject you are most proud of among these."

It's a subject... .

Jamie rubbed her chin. As Javelin said, any class was possible. However, the academy was not a place where one teacher taught all fields.

It is a place where the magic teacher in charge of the subject teaches the field in depth.

'The field in which I am most confident.'

In fact, there was no need to even think about the magic that he was most confident in.

Jamie was a warlock, a being who once possessed great powers. So, no matter what anyone said, the field that was best handled and understood deeply was black magic.

But if you teach black magic here, you won't be able to die comfortably.

'If it's the field you're most confident about after black magic... Nothing but that.'

After reincarnation, he hardly touched it, but before he learned black magic in the past, Jamie was called this.

'It's time to return to the Infinite Wizard after a long time.'

Jamie, who made the decision, said to Javelin.

I am ."

Phoenix Academy, like other academies, is divided into elementary school, middle school, and high school.

However, there is one difference: age.

The elementary school did not only have young students, and the high school did not only have older students.

All you need is magic skills.

If you are good, go to high school even when you are young, and if you are not good enough, go to elementary school even if you are old.

It was the Phoenix Academy.

And from one division it was again divided into three halves, alpha, beta, and gamma, respectively.

The alpha class was assigned to the brightest in that department, the beta class to ordinary children, and the gamma class to poor children.

"Uh I feel tired.

Anne Meyer was in the elementary alpha class.

Anne's desk was drooping with a tired face.

Finn, sitting next to her, leaned her chair back halfway and asked Ann, centering herself.

"Did you study all night again?"

no. I slept for three hours."

"If a child sleeps like that, won't he grow taller?"

Finn was a 16-year-old boy, so he was six years older than Anne, but since we were in the same class, we were comfortable talking to each other.

Genetically, I'm big enough, so don't worry.

"In case someone is not a criminal, he speaks like a criminal."

"If you are on the verge of being caught up with that criminal, you will have to work hard on Finn too~"

"Kek."

Finn trembled with a look of disgust.

"I somehow got promoted to middle school this year."

"You should have gone to middle school right away, brother Finn."

"Don't call me brother-in-law. Damn it. I have to study."

Anne knew Finn had a certain amount of entitlement, so she provoked her in this way sometimes.

Then I'm so absorbed in my studies. Finn can't stay in elementary school forever.

Anne grinned and was trying to get a spell book out of her bag for self-study, but found a familiar face sitting in the back seat diagonally.

uh?!

Ann jumped up and shouted, pointing to the very red-haired boy.

"Are you in our class too?"

Lennon, a boy with red hair, frowned at that cry and looked at Anne.

I didn't know who it was at first, but I suddenly remembered the day of the entrance ceremony. That bad day when I met Jamie Welton again.

Oh, that guy.

A woman who didn't recognize Jamie Welton and mistook her for an incoming student.

Lennon ignores it and tries to turn his head again, but Anne comes running with a friendly face.

"Nice to see you here! Do you think your skills are good enough to come to the alpha class already?"

But Lennon overlooked one thing.

The point is that Anne is a very broad-minded girl.

"No, I ."

"If you don't know anything, ask me. I'll tell you everything you don't know!

'What kind of strange thing is that?'

Lennon looked at Anne with strange eyes, but Anne continued to speak, as if she didn't care.

"But what's your name?"

Lennon let out a short sigh in response to the question, swiping his head back.

"It's Lennon Simon."

"Sa, the Simon family?"

okay.

At those words, the whole class, who had been excited about the new school year, was frozen as if frozen.

Lennon was very satisfied with that atmosphere.

The ripple effect of the Simon family, the magician of the Seldam Kingdom, was this much.

okay. everyone look up to me This is the difference between you and me.

It was when Lennon was alone thinking so.

Wow! Oh my gosh! He was Elder Simon's son! Nice to meet you!"

Either way, Anne took Lennon's hand with an innocent face and waved it up and down.

Lennon's face was dyed in embarrassment at the sudden, violent handshake.

Having found out that he is the son of Count Simon, shouldn't we be a little afraid now?

Why are you greeting me with such a bright smile?

Lennon couldn't understand.

"Hey, just stop!"

I shake it so much that my arm is going to fall off.

Lennon forced her hand away. My shoulders tingled from how much I shook it.

"Ah, I'm so glad I stopped Sorry. Hi-Hi.

" All right, go to your seat."

"Yes, yes. Oh. My name is Anne. Anne Meyer. If there's anything you don't know, ask me. You can ask the kids next door."

"Hello~"

nice to meet.

At Anne's introduction, the students seated on the left and right greeted Lennon.

Doesn't the prestige of the family really feel good to these guys?

Maybe it's because I'm in elementary school.

'okay. I'm going to go up anyway, so don't worry about these guys.'

Lennon's status was beyond the middle of the third class.

In fact, it was good enough to graduate early, but Count Simon told me to learn small society at the academy.

After staying here for a month, he was scheduled to move on to high school. In other words, they leave elementary school after a month.

Because of this, there is no reason to become friends or to treat them as subordinates.

There is a troublesome guy named Anne, but you only have to endure it for a month.

'Because I promised not to do any more accidents.'

okay. That's it.

It was when Lennon was staring at the back of Anne's head, who had returned to her seat.

"The teacher is here!"

One student exclaimed so.

At about the same time as those words, a middle-aged man with his gray hair neatly tucked behind came in with a smile.

It was the Javelin Cutter, the homeroom teacher of the elementary school Alpha class.

He waved goodbye to the students.

"It's been a while everyone~"

Hello sir!

How you doing?

"What did you do on vacation?!"

When the javelin appeared, the students all greeted each other in various ways.

As the class began to rumble in the morning, Javelin smiled awkwardly and calmed the students down.

"Come on, everyone, calm down. The teacher had a great time. Rather, I have one person to introduce to you."

Saying so, Javelin looked out the door.

"Teacher, please come in."

Someone has entered the alpha class.

Anne's eyes lit up with astonishment when she saw him.

Lennon jumped up from his seat with a face worse than Anne's. Then, with trembling hands, he pointed to the boy who came in and shouted.

"Yes, why are you here?!"

what? Were you in this class too?"

Jamie Wellton smiled and waved to Lennon.

"Let's have fun for a month."

'Nothing is happening!!'

Lennon let out a silent clamor and screamed loudly in himself.
