Academy Slave Instructor

57 – Stairs to Adults

Stairs to Adults

At the end, the academy students fought in a mess, but in the end, no one was eliminated and the training ended.

Those who truly believed in Rai’s lines tailored to the acting three-sets cursed him for being cold-hearted for abandoning and attacking his allies without hesitation.

However, except for the fact that he is cold-hearted, all reviews were positive. Despite the overwhelmingly unfavorable difference in troops, the tactics of taunting the academy students, escaping the encirclement, and using the squads sprinkled as bait to surprise the viewers were admirable.

Especially, the scene where the academy students fight each other at the end gave a thrill to those who hadn’t seen a big battle scene.

The academy students passionately commanding during the fierce battle, the soldiers moving in perfect order according to their instructions, the battlefield where weapons and shields collided and shouts resonated was more spectacular than any other spectacle.

All the people who visited the academy were satisfied and returned, and the academy’s instructors and academy students were enthusiastic, saying that they were great. It seemed that those who had participated in this training for a while would become famous once they went out to the city.

Filia, who participated as Rai’s lieutenant, learned a lot and showed overwhelming results in the next training.

He single-handedly defeated 4 troops and earned 120 points with only commander defeat points. Every time she fights, her troops are cut down, so she is usually commendable for doing well even if she only catches two, but she easily surpassed her perfect score of 100 with her overwhelming commanding ability.

Of course, she was lucky enough to meet the soldiers her Lai commanded, but she has grown tremendously since seeing Lai’s command by her side.

She is the one and only Philia among the academy students who participated in tactical training, but she doesn’t look happy.

She finds her old records in the library. Philia, feeling frustrated, covers the book she is reading and moves it to the stack of books next to her.

She

She has already searched more than 10 books, but nothing comes up.

Philia, who had been suspicious of Rai during the kidnapping incident, became more curious about his identity as she went through her tactical training.

One of the strongest players, sophisticated tactics, rich experience in unit management.

Even if you search for data under several conditions, no one comes out properly. Just like when she was contemplating her identity before, if she matches Rai’s personal details and conditions, no one comes out.

If you raise his age a bit, he is similar to Marquis Adelian, the commander of the imperial army, but Adelian has seen Philia several times and even had a sad conversation with each other, so there is no way he can’t recognize him.

Speaking of being a secret existence that has not been recorded in history, he has no ability to run a unit.

Philia frowned at the identity of Rai, who fell into a labyrinth the more she investigated, and then organized the book.

If it is not listed in the records, the best way is to ask real people.

Fortunately, there were many instructors who were active on the battlefield at the academy, and Philia asks them about Rai.

But no one knew anything about Rai.

“You mean Instructor Rai? What a man.”

Paul, an instructor who trains academy students in basic skills, speaks while wielding a thick sword.

“Do you know me well?”

Filiado she asks as she swings her sword beside him.

When she asks an instructor something, she likes to help or act with them. Although he is very old, the best way to train foul with his passion is as much as that of young people.

“No, I don’t know. The first time I saw Instructor Rai was when he was appointed.”

He said he didn’t know Paul, who was active on the Northern Front.

What he asked him was what he asked the instructors on all fronts. North, South, and the Central Front, which was originally Eastern but was renamed after conquering the Kingdom of Kaylan.

Everyone’s answer was the same. I do not know.

The central front was active until the end of the era of war, and there are many people who retired right away or are still active, such as Adelian, so there are very few academy instructors from the central front.

Foul speaks to Philia, who is worried that perhaps the answer lies in the central front with little information.

“I know a little about the Redfords, though.”

Redford. It is Rai’s last name. Philia pays attention to Paul’s words.

“It was an aristocratic family, but it fell. There were a lot of strange people in that family. They all had strange personalities.”

“I think I can understand it when I see Instructor Lai.”

“Ahahahahaha, Instructor Rai is also unusual. But the Redford family is really… I hate to say this to other people’s families, but the family itself was crazy. There were gamblers who sold heirlooms, and there were madmen, and there were curses. But they all had major flaws in their personalities.”

“…… Instructor Lai was brought up in the most polite way.”

It’s hard to say that Rai’s childlike personality is polite, but if you listen to the explanation, Rai grew up the most correctly.

“Anyway, now he’s only wearing a business card that says he’s an aristocrat. Besides, I don’t even know where his family is now, so it’s unclear whether he’s alive or dead. When I first saw Instructor Rai, I was wary of the Redford family’s curse. Of course, he was a great man.”

Paul expresses that Rai is good as if he seems to like him.

The swords of Paul and Filia, who are talking to each other but practicing to strike from head to middle, did not shake.

Right posture, unshakable sword. Looking at Philia, who doesn’t dull the tip of her sword even though she has other thoughts in her head, Paul nods her head slightly with a pleased expression.

“Now Philia won’t have to train with me.”

“Yes?”

When they open their mouths, all they say is let’s train together. When they see a foul, the academy students run away. But when Paul says that he doesn’t need training, Philia opens her eyes wide in embarrassment.

“The basics are close to completion. You must have been working diligently until now. You don’t need me to hold the basics now, if you keep practicing, time will perfect you. More than that, what you need is high-level swordsmanship.”

“Thank you.”

Foul continues to speak to Philia, who thought it was a compliment.

“It looks like he hangs out with Instructor Rai.”

“That, not that much.”

Philia, bothered by the female academy students’ misunderstanding of her relationship with Rai, shakes her head in embarrassment at Foul’s words.

“How about asking him for private lessons?”

“Yes? Private lessons?”

“You learned a lot by his side, you already proved in tactical training.”

At Paul’s words, Philia nodded her head.

She learned many things that cannot be learned from books. From how to manage soldiers to how to perfect tactics, her book seemed inexplicably trivial, but her important knowledge helped her a lot.

“If you learn from him, it will open the way to becoming a general as well as personal strength.”

“What do you think of Instructor Foul’s tactics? How experienced is he?”

At Philia’s question, Paul stops the action he was hitting her and touches her chin, contemplating.

“I must have gone through at least 100 battles. Not as an adjutant, but as a commander or staff member.”

“……”

Foul’s answer was beyond Philia’s imagination.

At least 100 words. The story of having gone through hundreds of battles as a commander or staff member is a great career that everyone knows just by name.

To become a commander, you have to build up a lot of majors, and even after becoming a commander, there are not many people who have experienced more than 100 battles. Most of them resign from command or lose their lives in defeat before going to hundred battles.

A commander like that would be a celebrity that even Philia wouldn’t know about.

“But why doesn’t anyone know? Everyone should know about that kind of experience.”

“If you look at it broadly, the empire is just a country in the west. The world is wide and there are many great people.”

“……But Instructor Rai is an Imperial person.”

“There is no law that says you have to build your career only in the Empire. And there are many cases where that career is not properly recorded.”

Paul, who spoke softly as if giving advice to a junior in her life, continues to explain to Philia, who listens quietly.

“For example, there are mercenaries. What are some famous mercenaries?”

“The Maul Mercenaries, the Black Dragon’s Breath… These two are famous.”

“The mercenaries you mentioned are all mercenaries working for the Empire.”

Pointing out that only the mercenaries in the Empire said that, Foul puts his training sword in order.

“Then Instructor Rai worked as a mercenary?”

“Well, only he knows that. Since no one knows. Ah, the headmaster must know. Anyway, the fact that he is a great commander and a great strongman remains unchanged. So think about what I said.”

After urging Rai to take private lessons, Paul leaves. It was not uncommon for him to leave first during training.

Philia, who was left alone and worried for a while, moved her steps to return to her house.

If he were a mercenary, all his actions would be explained. His light-hearted behavior and easy-going sociability with soldiers matched him well with mercenaries and adventurers.

Imagine Rai, a mercenary holding an enemy general and giggling, Philia gives goosebumps because they match so well.

If she was really a mercenary, I think she must have been famous for her notoriety, and while she is laughing, a group of people chatter and she unknowingly hides behind her wall.

“So, who do you want to date the most? I’ll reveal the results of the popularity poll.”

“When did you do that. I never voted.”

“A man with a light mouth has no right to vote.”

This is a foolish game for men. He always pretends to be a gentleman, but behind the scenes, he never stops talking about the opposite s*x. Philia, knowing that she and women do the same, quietly listens to her.

She says sneaking is bad and she doesn’t want to hear stupid rankings, but for some reason she can’t get her foot off her feet.

“The long-awaited first place…”

“It must be a goddess.”

“…… Do you really have to hit the candle like that?”

Since Aria is so beautiful, her first place naturally belongs to her. Recalling her looks, which makes both men and women fall in love with her, Philia nods and agrees.

Philia, naturally assimilated with them without her knowledge, hears the next rank.

“Then the second place…”

“Princess.”

“f*ck, are you trying to fight me?”

“Everything is predictable. Does this mean anything?”

I don’t know her face, but at the sound of the two arguing, Philia hurried to the next rank.

“Then guess number three, dude.”

“Diana.”

“……”

The academy student who was calling out the rankings to see if they really got it right shuts their mouth.

Diana is a pretty, bright-faced girl who can easily get along with anyone. Besides, there is nothing she can’t do, so when she has a difficult task, everyone leans on her, so there’s no way she won’t be popular.

“This, this won’t fit. Fourth place.”

“Uh… It’s difficult because there are so many candidates from 4th place onwards… Um… Senna? Luette? Violet… No, she’s pretty, but she’s so geeky that maniacs will like it.

I think about it for a long time and call out the names of the female students, but the academy student who was calling the ranks laughs at me.

“I can’t guess either. Fourth place is Filia.”

“……!!”

When her name was called, Philia covered her mouth in surprise. She couldn’t understand why she was ranked when there were so many attractive people at the academy.

But the other academy students nodded her head in understanding.

“I see… You forgot Philia.”

“Because her fans steadily increased every time she was active. It’s like a bard who no one knew about became more and more popular and gave a grand performance in the imperial palace.”

‘What does that feel like?’

Philia, unable to understand the opinions of her male academy students, only opens her eyes wide and holds her breath.

“I never thought I would say this, but she feels like she wants to protect her.”

“You sang the marching song on the last march as well. I got goosebumps at that time. Philia has a charm that I want to follow for some reason.”

“She looks down on me like she looks down on me with contempt, she wants me to sell her.”

“It’s cool to see her engrossed in her training. Beads of sweat run along her jawline and spread as if bursting with the sound of her cheering. I thought it was petals flying around.”

Her philia blushes whenever her compliments follow.

She was usually praised for her appearance, saying she was pretty or beautiful, but she didn’t know what to do because she was ashamed of the naked praise that brought up the situation.

“But the lycans will snatch it away.”

“Is that true? The girls are just giggling. I think Raicang was just treating them the same as the other kids.”

“Do you say that when you see Seria’s Day? A prom is coming soon, and Raikang will ask you to go get a dress.”

As expected, giving Rai sweetness on Seria’s Day was too great.

She was a philia who wanted to shout out that it was a misunderstanding right away, but she had no choice but to remain silent.

“Damn it…Then the day I go to dress up…”

“Yes, that’s the day Philia really climbs the stairs of adulthood.”

“… I’m a lecturer, but would you touch the academy students?”

“You know that Raicang is a dirty horse.”

From noble mtl dot com

There is silence for a moment. And soon you hear the sound of raising your body.

“I’m pissed off, let’s go terrorize Raikang’s house.”

“You say the right things sometimes.”

“Why don’t we just set fire to it?”

The academy students each left their seats cursing Rai.

Philia, who had been hiding behind the wall with her bright red face, finally let out the breath she had been holding back.

Embarrassed by repeated compliments, when she was told that she would climb the stairs of adulthood with Rai, her heart skipped a beat in embarrassment.

Not immune to things like this, she needed some time to calm her mind.

“Y-You were looking for it. Why are you stuck here?”

There was no time to calm down. Her party, Rai, approaches Philia.

“What? Did you see anything strange? Why are you so red?”

Philia gives no answer and she turns her head against the wall. Without her strength, even her hand, which she lowered, was stuck to her wall, so she gave off a strange atmosphere, but Rai didn’t care and grabbed her wrist.

“……!!”

Her rai pulls her and says as her startled philia looks up with her quivering eyes.

“Let’s go. We have somewhere to go in the city.”

Normally, she would have asked where she was going, but Philia, who had just heard a strange sound, couldn’t resist and followed Rai’s hand weakly.

Stairs for adults. Philia, with only that word running through her head, was beside herself.
