The Academy’s Health Teacher Wants to Take a Break

Episode 11. If you can’t win…….

“Oh, I hit it!”

“What!?”

It was the moment that no one expected except me.

Because I’m the only one who knows that Dale has nullification powers.

And no matter how strong the ball is, if that power touches the nullification ability, it’s worse than a ball thrown with all its might.

“I hit it! Hit!! Teacher! I hit the ball!”

“Nice job Dale.”

Dale is excited and runs wild.

It seemed like he was happy to hit the ball that much, but… Is baseball a good sport if you just hit the ball?

“By the way, when I explained the rules earlier, they said what to do if you hit the ball?”

“Uh… …. Run?”

“Okay, where should I run?”

“Um… ….”

“I have to run first base.”

Don’t float a mole on your head.

“…Was Ilu this way?”

“There is third base. I have to run with my eating hand.”

“I am ambidextrous!”

In the now familiar Tiki-Taka, the ball hit by Dale landed in the middle of the field and started rolling around.

The bunt, hit by a straight hit, began to roll into the infield.

You have to defend as much as it is an effective hitter.

“hahahaha! What is that guy doing now?”

“You have to do what you like just because you hit it once. If it’s a ball like this, there’s no problem catching it!”

Right away, the defenders advance to where the ball is.

After that, I tried to take the glove lightly, but the ball that touched the glove did not gather inside and bounced in a different direction.

This is the result of bringing only the glove without catching the ball.

“Uh, uh uh!?”

“What is the ball?”

In normal baseball, it’s stupid, but from their point of view, it must be embarrassing.

Because the gloves they are using now must have used magic that attracted objects around them.

A ball that still rolls across the field, ignoring its power.

After that, several defenders rushed in, but the ball didn’t even get out of their hands, rather it was bouncing back and forth due to the repulsive force.

“What is that! Why can’t I get caught!?”

Of course.

Because nullification also applies to tools.

And even if the force comes into contact with the applied tool, the effect is maintained even temporarily.

Now that baseball has the ‘property of temporarily ignoring mana’ thanks to Dale’s ability.

“The more you look at it, the more similar it is to Mana. That.”

In fact, even in the case of mana, when the controller falls, mana remains for a certain period of time.

The difference is that mana is nothing more than a lump of physical force that slowly disappears if you don’t instill willpower into it, but Dale’s property of nullification remains intact even if you don’t explicitly manipulate it.

Disrupting all types of phenomenon manipulation with only residual power can be a powerful weapon in itself.

“Hey you assholes! What are you doing!!”

Feeling frustrated at the bouncing ball like that, Eric jumped out of the pitcher’s box, picked up the completely stopped ball with his bare hands, and threw it.

The place where the throw was made is where the third baseman is. But Dale’s foot was already on third base.

If I hadn’t taken the time in the beginning, I would have won the game with just a bunt by scoring one point right away.

“Does it make sense to just roll like that because you couldn’t catch a grounder!? Aren’t you crazy!?”

“Ugh.”

The students of the enemy team are intimidated by Eric’s shouts.

But Dale has already advanced to third base, and with no three outs, they must prepare for the next batter.

Still, I might have had a chance if we had drawn a draw.

“…… You.”

“Yeah~ Seine, the 4th hitter who came from behind, is born~”

Soon at the plate, I gave a chin to Eric, who was holding me back with my bat in my hand.

“What are you doing? Not throwing.”

“Damn it!!”

A super-fast ball thrown in a hurry.

-Taang!!

However, it is fast and too obvious.

Recognizing that I had hit with a straight hit, I let go of the bat and gestured toward the boy standing on third base.

“Dale, come this way.”

“Yes!”

Dale stands before me, running at my call.

Amid all that, Eric’s eyes were fixed on the sky.

The ball landed outside the stadium.

It was a perfect home run.

“Did you get points with this?”

“Yes. We decided to play only one set, so this is our victory.”

“I won!”

Dale shouted with arms wide open.

Are you really happy about your first victory?

“We won! Waaa!!”

Dale’s cheers resonated loudly, but no one cheered for that cry.

On the contrary, they all have gloomy faces as if they were defeated.

“…… Uh.”

Dale, who belatedly realized the atmosphere, looked back at the scene, and soon began to shrug his shoulders as if he was anxious.

“Are you not happy, everyone?”

Can I be happy?

In the first place, this match is not a bet in which the winner eats the wealth.

It’s just to gauge each other’s level. Rather, the existing Boo must have realized his own situation after seeing that he couldn’t cope with Eric’s pitching ability.

The fact that the person who tried to push them out had a skill that was incomparable to them.

“Oh, yes. Would you like to win!?”

And with that kind of skill, I’m sure my arrogance will rise.

f*ck! Eric threw the glove on the floor making a noise.

After that, he came towards me with fiery eyes and started yelling at me.

“Teacher, I will admit what I have to admit. To be honest, I was ignoring you at first. At best, I never thought that someone who used their strength to support the rear on the battlefield would have this level of skill.”

Rear support. You talk too much.

Even if it looks like this, it’s a body that has been rolling for 10 years in the front line.

“And the girl over there.”

But Eric didn’t stop there and glared at Dale.

Dale feels intimidated for a moment and hides behind me. I wondered if he was even swearing at me, but Eric’s gaze didn’t take long.

“…He also did something very unexpected. I never thought he would be good at dispelling. Thanks to that, all of our formations were useless.”

This mourning isn’t dispell, but it’s because it’s a neutral constitution.

In any case, he wasn’t wrong in that he unexpectedly struck me, so I didn’t bother to argue against that.

Because there was another important thing.

“Yes, yes, that’s great. If two people lead a team, it can grow into a proper team regardless of the humiliation so far. As long as the two of them lead the baseball team!”

“…If anyone hears, this defeat will make you guys decide to step down.”

“No way, you just wanted to teach me! Even if you don’t have a single mana, you can make a breaking ball that makes us panic, and even if you’re from a commoner, you can hit a ball thrown by a guy with sky-high confidence, so it’s an asshole to talk about commoners and nobles!”

Why is a guy who knows that so angry?

If you didn’t fight for money, you could just accept the outcome and quietly find a compromise.

“But if we learn what the teacher used, we can definitely use it, right?”

“…… It doesn’t.”

“Yes! If we learn, we’ll be able to use it better than those guys! What you showed me now is not to say that those guys are better than us!”

Eric looked back at the existing members while screaming.

From noble mtl dot com

It’s not just that Eric is a high-ranking aristocrat that made him feel intimidated by that gaze.

Because he personally proved in front of them that he had skills worthy of his family.

“You really… …. What happened to the kid who won’t lose a word?”

“To begin with, our team is far superior! It’s us who have to take care of this!”

Has the initial thought not changed in the previous engagement?

“If we don’t win… ….”

No, it must have gotten stronger.

In the first place, he was digging into the contradiction of the word goodwill competition from the beginning, to define what he was doing now as just a mess.

“If you don’t win, competition is useless. Am I wrong!?”

In fact, no one could hastily open their mouth to Eric’s words right away.

The members, even Gillette, the general manager… Yes, I must have felt a lot in the previous game.

About whether it is acceptable for them, who are inferior in quality, to stick their feet in this position in the yard where superior talents are aiming for wealth.

“…… Yes, Eric, as you said.”

To be honest, I was also on the side of Eric’s opinion.

The purpose put forward by the previous manager is good, but since the result is disastrous, it will be difficult to assert it firmly.

“No matter how much fair play is emphasized in sports, in the end it is a fight between a winner and a loser. If there are any bad practices that get in the way of that victory, you’ll want to get rid of them right away.”

Moreover, isn’t it a sport where national honor or huge rewards are at stake depending on the competition?

Since it is also a place that represents the school, taking the same attitude as Eric would be the correct answer if we were to take it seriously.

“Yeah, knowing that well, why… ….”

Yes, I also want to feel deep sympathy for Eric.

“Because it was a war that lasted two years ago because of adults like you now who ignored procedures and consideration.”

This is an academy built on the border.

If it were not for the place that emerged as a symbol of peace after the war.

“… ….”

Eric is speechless.

No, to be precise, it would be closer to being choked.

As if my words came as a shock to him.

“…If there is no rebuttal, it must mean that your family suffered some damage in the war.”

Anyway, no matter how much life exists outside of the battlefield, it doesn’t mean that we are not affected by war at all.

Eric’s excessive obsession with winning.

That may have been the attitude he had because he realized the aftermath of a war in which only losers remained in the name of a peace treaty.

“Okay, Eric. As you think, sports may be the answer to do everything to win within fair rules. However, unlike sports, there were no rules at all in the battlefield the teacher saw. Even if there is, it’s easy to break depending on the situation.”

But no matter how quickly you become an adult, aren’t you still a child who is not independent?

As a student, the environment inside the school is considered everything.

To him, this school is most of the world that he is made up of, but when he sees the entire continent, this school is definitely a place that he uses as a symbol for peace and socializing.

“Let’s assume that with such a war just over, students from different countries condone the act of committing a crime by ignoring the established rules in this place where students come together. Who can guarantee that it won’t become a starting point and become an international problem?”

“That… ….”

“If you repeat the act of ignoring respect and discipline for the sake of a small cause, it will eventually lead to an irreversible situation.”

I don’t know what he did for the sake of the baseball team, but in the international community of Maris Academy, it’s definitely something to be defined as wrong.

Because they are supported by those around them and have confidence in their actions, unless the brakes are applied from the outside, their actions will eventually lead to crossing the line.

“If you want to change the baseball team, don’t push in as before, submit a petition to the student council for the results of today’s game, and call the necessary number of people to the meeting. Even if it takes time, everyone will understand if you think your opinion is justified.”

“… ….”

At my advice, Eric just kept his head down and clenched his fist.

That’s probably the attitude you show because you can’t take my opinion to heart.

It takes a lot of time to change an existing policy, and that means less time to invest in the group you want to change.

“…… Gillette.”

Nevertheless, he will eventually adapt.

At least when he competed, he sincerely followed the rules and seriously tried to prove his skills to everyone.

“Think about it until I come back. Is it the right thing to follow the former commander’s policy?”

Seeing Eric leave like that, Gillette couldn’t say anything.

Just stay silent.

I just stare at Eric’s rough and chapped hands as he leaves.
