I Ran Away From Them and Became an Academy Professor

48 – Maria(2)

“Mary.”

“Yes?”

“Shall I take revenge?”

Maria could not hide her perplexity at the sound of my words.

That’s right, after confessing to a man she saw for the first time today, she is taken to a secluded place, and by chance, she tells her family affairs and the man she confessed to wants revenge.

Hmm… What kind of story is this?

Whoever sees it will know that it is a novel.

At any rate, Maria had a flash in her eyes for a moment, and then she died again.

“No…”

“Why?”

“No matter how you say you’re a professor…”

Ah, that’s because I’m a man, so I think I’m weak.

It was an occasional occurrence in a world where it was taken for granted that women were stronger than men.

“It’s okay. I’m a bit stronger than you think.”

“No! That… Uh… That’s…”

Are there other things besides being weak?

“···Actually···Among the kids who bully me, the one at the center is a woman named Lucia··· Maybe she came from the city, so she’s very strong··· The professors at Celle Lucia is stronger than that.”

Hoho…

“They even say they’re going to enter Hestia Academy next year. So!”

Maria hesitated. Maybe I’m just being careful not to feel bad.

So what Maria wants to say is that I don’t look weak, but her child Lucia is too strong.

But I’m a professor at the Hestia Academy?

“Yeah. What is that?”

“Yes? Hestia Academy!

“Okay, what about that?”

Maria somehow tried to explain the strength of her Lucia by referring to Hestia Academy, but she insisted on saying that I had nothing to do with her, and eventually she gave up.

“And that’s not all… Lucia’s father and mother are said to have been A-class adventurers. Besides, they even hold the title of viscount, so if you mess with them, you might get into trouble…!”

Is it viscount?

Sometimes, when I was in Astria, when I was on good terms with the party members, there was something I was really angry about.

Duke Sermar.

Duke Sermar, who holds the title of duke, the highest rank among nobles, bought and sold slaves illegally designated by the empire.

Besides, that madman was a lolicon and had a beast fetish, so he bought only beast-girls and did something unspeakable.

We found out about this by chance while carrying out a guild mission, and of course we got angry, and immediately stormed into the duke’s house and blew up one of the huge duke’s mansions that day.

Perhaps because they are the same prisoner, Lii, who was particularly angry, castrated Duke Sermar’s ‘there’.

A duke is the highest rank among nobles, but Maria is talking about a viscount right now.

4Th highest in the nobility system consisting of dukes – marquis – earls – viscounts – barons? No, considering that dealing with the 2nd lowest nobleman was about 10 times the difference between a duke and a viscount, it wasn’t something to worry about.

“Well, nothing to worry about.”

“… Huh?”

“Nothing to worry about.”

“Did you hear me?! I’m a viscount! I’m a nobleman!”

Maria raised her voice as if it were a lie that she was so trembling at first.

This must be something that comes out of worrying about me.

Seeing that she was worried about other people even though she was being treated so badly by people, this child was kind even though she was kind.

In addition, in the case of me, even in difficult situations, I was able to endure by thinking of the faces of my precious people and family. This child is different.

Betrayed by my parents, I had no place to turn to, and even my friends left and I had no loved ones…

Maybe if I were Maria, she wouldn’t just break it all down?

Um… No! Because I’m good!

I said, petting Maria, who was still looking at me with concern.

“It’s okay. I’ll help you.”

Ah, come to think of it, I think I read somewhere that girls don’t like having their hair stroked.

As soon as I thought of that, I removed her hand from Maria’s head.

Then Maria wept.

Huh?! Did you hate it that much?! She was in trouble she made the girl cry

“Heuk… Heuk heuk…”

“That… I’m sorry… Didn’t you like it?”

“Keuheop- Ah… No… It was so good…”

‘For the first time, I have someone who believes in me.’

After some time passed, Maria’s tears dried up.

Maria also has to go to Celle soon, so I thought it was right for her to break up here for now.

How much time has passed?

The morning mist disappeared cleanly, and the sun rose in the middle of the sky.

···I think it’s been a while.

I used [Stealth] While returning to the inn.

Kabry and Haki, Abur and Freya don’t matter, but the rest went into hiding because they didn’t know my face.

I managed to sneak into the room successfully and put a mask on my face.

Drreuk-

“Huh? Professor, when did you come?”

“Huh? Professor Leekl is here?”

Then, as if he had waited, Abur opened the door and entered the room.

And after that, Cabri came in as well.

As soon as Kabri saw me, he suddenly rushed at me.

“Professor Ichle, where on earth did you go without saying a word? Surely you didn’t meet a girl somewhere? Professor A. Ickle wouldn’t do that! I knew it.

He brought his face close to mine, made eye contact with mine, and interrogated me like an interrogation, not an interrogation.

Why is he so scared?

“I just went for a walk.”

“You went out for a walk so early! You came in just now?”

“···I usually do morning exercise for a long time.”

“Um…”

Kabry looked at me for a moment with a look of distrust, then smiled as usual and grabbed my arm and led me.

“Then let’s go play!”

“Yes.”

++++

I went home, bowing to the man in front of me.

It was to wash the tear-stained face and go to the celle.

Come to think of it, I didn’t even ask for your name. I’ll ask when we meet again.

He was a very strange person.

As soon as he sees me confessing without hesitation, he grasps the situation, accepts my confession so that I don’t get bullied, and says he will help me…

Wait a minute. Come to think of it, you confessed…

So are you dating?

I don’t know… But.

– It’s okay. I’ll help you.

His last words that kept popping up in my head made me laugh.

But the laughter didn’t last.

“Hey.”

The voice you hear as soon as you arrive at Celle.

It was the voice of Henia, who voluntarily flirted with Lucia in front of her, calling me.

My expression automatically hardened.

I was scared and my body stiffened as well.

“How was it?”

“····Uh··· Huh?”

“How tall are city men?”

“What… What is…?”

“What are you pretending to be naive, b*tch. How was your cock?”

“What… What are you talking about… There’s no way I would have seen something like that…”

Pair-!

My words couldn’t carry on to the end.

Because Henna hit me on the cheek.

“f*ck. Why is this really happening? The most baggy b*tch in this school?”

“Ughhhhh”

“This b*tch is crying again. Won’t you shut up?”

Henia swung her hand wide again and hit the half of the cheek that had not been hit hard.

Jaak-!

“Oops!”

The shock knocked me over, and Henia was still swearing at me.

What the hell did I do…? Am I so angry…

At that time, a male voice was heard.

“Hey! Why are you so crowded here! It’s done when class starts, everyone go to class!”

The man was guiding the students and approaching us when he spotted us.

The man who came closer was Sele’s teacher.

From anyone’s point of view, this was a one-sided situation in which Maria was hit. No one can deny it.

But I had no expectations.

Henia laughed hideously and spoke her words out.

“Oh, sir. Maria fell over a bit while playing around with her friends.”

“Ah… So? Class starts soon, so go to class.”

“Yes”

I could never have hoped for it.

The approaching teacher quickly avoided her seat.

“It’s like a pervert to look at me from the last time. I want Lucia to cut it a little.”

Henia cursed at her teacher as she walked away, then turned her head back to me.

“Hey, stay after school today.”

“…Yes.”

“Oh, you’re listening.”

Henia bent her knees toward me as I lay down and patted my head with her hand.

“Let’s do well, huh?”

“…Okay.”

“Okay, see you on the roof today~”

After she finished speaking, Henia turned around and left.

“Heh… Hee hee…”

I cried again in that state, but there was no one left around me.
