The Academy’s Health Teacher Wants to Take a Break

Episode 2. The window was broken on the first day of work.

“Okay… So, is today the regular work day?”

The day after the entrance ceremony.

After taking over from my predecessor and completing the adjustment period, I went to the dormitory to prepare for my first monumental shift.

In addition to the skirt and sweater, a white gown is a symbol of health teachers. And even a red rosary to prove that you have a religion.

“…I’ve become a lady too, really.”

However, dressing up like that wouldn’t soften his ferocious impression.

Dark circles in the pupils that appear terrifying to face a full-length mirror.

Even the girlishness she developed while chasing love in her childhood has long since disappeared.

Well, it’s a good thing now that I’ve declared my celibacy.

“…Okay, that should be enough.”

After finishing my preparations by tying my hair roughly, I left the faculty dormitory and set foot on campus.

I heard the teachers I met in the middle whispering to me, but how is it?

From noble mtl dot com

You guys act like nobles.

I’m going to live my life as long as I don’t openly diss him.

-Wow!

It’s been a while since I tried to go to the health room, where I work.

As I was walking down the hallway, I felt my nerves rise at the sound of glass breaking.

“… What the f*ck is this.”

Wasn’t the entrance ceremony yesterday?

Why do I hear the sound of glass breaking in a classroom where freshmen are gathered?

***

Maris Academy.

Located at the center of the continent and on the border of the empire, this place was an international educational institution where you could enter regardless of race or nationality if you met the age of 14 along with the entrance exam.

This policy was maintained even during the war by designating it as an ‘extraterritorial territory’ under the agreement of each country, and after the war, it became a symbol of peace and further encouraged exchanges between forces.

In other words, it is only here that everyone can live with respect, transcending national borders.

“Why are there commoners here?”

But that’s only a story about forces.

Each country, including the empire, still had a caste system, and because of this, superiority and inferiority between classes were maintained almost absolute.

As long as grades are guaranteed, there is no choice but to complain at any time about the system that provides scholarships regardless of class, which is often referred to as the ‘pleasant selection’.

Especially if it is a place where the ‘excellent class students’ who achieved the best grades in the entrance exam are gathered.

“That, that… ….”

There was a boy who was looked down upon by the students of such an excellent class.

Dale Enburton.

A small boy with a very small body, unlike a 14-year-old boy. His well-groomed hair grew below his shoulders, so it wouldn’t be strange to mistake him for a girl, but what he was wearing was definitely a boy’s uniform.

But at this point, does gender matter?

“… Dale Enverton.”

Confronting such a boy is a girl with red pigtails who stands as if representing her class.

That frown was probably due to dissatisfaction with the boy in front of me.

“You confidently entered this classroom and introduced yourself, but unfortunately, everyone, including me, doesn’t like your presence. After all, it would be impossible for you to get in here unless you do something.”

“Oh, no. I… ….”

“No, it must have been. It wasn’t enough that he entered the best class, and as a commoner he beat all of us and took first place. Isn’t this unprecedented in this academy?”

Bean Juggret.

She belonged to a family with a long history in the Empire, and all of her students gathered here had one unwavering set of values.

No matter how hard humans try, they cannot go against the environment.

Just as a well-supplied military can display its true strength, it is natural that commoners who lack support are inferior to nobles.

In such a yard, it was a commoner who pushed them out and took first place in the entrance exam.

Wouldn’t anyone find it strange?

“Yeah, wasn’t I the only one who thought that?”

It was clear from the reactions of the children around me that such a conviction did not just end with subjectivity.

“A mere commoner got better grades than us? Nonsense.”

“He is short and skinny. Is it because I couldn’t eat and grew up?”

“Where did you get the money to bribe the examiners on such a subject…”

“I was coveted for a place in the top class, but even so, I went too far.”

“If you are a commoner, you will be satisfied with just staying in the normal class like a commoner.”

Woong-goo-go-go.

Slandering and swearing at a student.

As his small body gradually crouched down, Beans, who was silently confronting him, took a deep breath.

“… I guess I’ll just have to check it out.”

“Checking, what… ….”

“Still, there might be one thing at odds. There will be no regular classes for the next week, so there will be plenty of time to check.”

Saying that, Beans took off the glove he was wearing.

She tossed her glove on her floor and immediately shouted it at her Dale.

“Dale Enburton. Jebins Jugret will formally challenge you to a duel here!”

Takes off the glove in his hand and throws it at the opponent.

It was one of the etiquettes of the Empire, and it meant declaring a duel, considering the opponent as an equal.

Equal existence.

In other words, as long as the duel is in progress, each other will not be bound by status.

“Hey… …. What is a duel?”

“Of course it is a magic war.”

A duel where the use of magic is literally permitted.

There are so many risks involved, but at this academy, the minimum defenses must be prepared.

If it’s enough to make it to the top class, you’ll be able to fight more properly than your peers.

“Magic… ….”

But Dale can’t take that word lightly.

Beans frowned at her, noticing something in her.

“I bet you’re asking, but you can’t even use beginner magic even after entering this academy, right?”

“Ah…… !”

The boy’s small body shrank at that moment.

As if he noticed everything from him, a snort burst out from Beans’ mouth.

“Anyway, since the entrance exam was only written in the end, even a commoner would have been able to read through the theory. But do you really think that everyone, including me, gave you the first place by just studying the theory?”

Originally, if you are an aristocrat, you will be taught not only theory and practice, but also etiquette as an aristocrat, as well as education such as general affairs and management necessary for politics in advance.

You cannot prove that you are an excellent student just by passing the written entrance exam.

“This academy continues practical training after regular classes begin… But it’s obvious what will happen if you can’t even use beginner magic when you get there.”

Are you happy that you received a scholarship because you were treated as an excellent student in the entrance exam?

But after that, unless you prove your superiority in various fields, that too will end up as a fleeting dream.

If grades are not guaranteed, you will not be able to pay for necessary equipment, activity fees, or even tuition.

“Ooh, ugh…” ….”

Afraid to teach such a cold reality, Dale turned red and turned his face to Beans.

A petite body that makes it hard to think of him as the same age as you. Tears welling up in her clear eyes even stimulate the desire to protect the person she encounters.

She looks like she’s facing a younger girl…

‘No, she’s not a girl!’

Yes, isn’t the clothes you’re wearing from the beginning of a boy’s?

She even had to fold up her sleeves because even that size did not fit her, but since she entered Imaris, there was no room for denying that she was a 14-year-old boy.

‘Yes, since ancient times, a man should have a friendly attitude.”

Yes, her current radical attitude is only a provocation.

Beanz had no doubt that the little boy would accept his duel.

The image of his hands clasped tightly against his chest must have come from resentment for this moment.

‘Now, show me. If you really have…….’

“Aww!”

However, what came out later was not acceptance of the duel, but cries.

Everyone was taken aback by that, but when they came to their senses, the little body was already running toward the classroom window.

“What, what!? For a moment… ….”

“Everyone is too good!!”

-Wow!

A window smashed against a crouched body.

I opened my mouth to stare at the spreading debris, but by that time Dale had already run away into the woods behind the campus.

“What… ….”

An unexpected turn of events.

The first to speak in the silence was Beans Jugret, who had a direct confrontation with Dale.

“Did you just run away from the person who declared the duel!?”

It was something everyone, including Beans, couldn’t help but be embarrassed.

Throwing off your gloves in itself also means that you recognize your opponent as an equal, regardless of class.

You did it to a commoner who wasn’t even a noble, but he just ran away without even revealing his intention to refuse!

“What’s up?”

It was only for a moment that I felt resentment towards him.

At the sudden voice, everyone’s eyes were directed towards the exit of the classroom.

The one who just opened the door and entered was a haggard-looking woman wearing a white coat.

“…… Teacher Seine Velvet. Is that right?”

“Oh, do you know me?”

“Yes, because you introduced them at the entrance ceremony yesterday.”

Of course, as it is the largest academy, there are enough teachers in the hundreds.

It is difficult to remember her unless she is famous enough to transcend her country or nationality, but in her case, she was exceptionally impressed by many students.

A dark and somber atmosphere.

It was far from the loftiness of an aristocrat, the mysteriousness of a high-ranking mage, or the nobility of religious figures, but it still possessed ‘magical power’ that caught the attention of those facing it.

A woman who feels wary like a wriggling shadow in the dark, but who wants to look into it out of curiosity.

“What? Does the student break the window and run away?”

Such a woman opened her eyes to hear the words of the students around her, she said.

In an atmosphere where you can still feel demonic.

“Hey man, this is f*cked up.”

With a tone that is not like that at all.
