The Academy’s Health Teacher Wants to Take a Break

Episode 48. Could you let me take care of the child?

There was a meeting.

An annual duel between the chief and the second.

About the resulting fight between the common people and the powerful…

‘We have to expel him.’

Not…

It’s about the treatment of a boy who deserves to be called a monster by someone who has committed absurd things in front of thousands of people.

‘No, we need to arrest the child immediately. If we send it back like this, it could be dangerous in the future…’

The moment when most teachers agreed with that opinion.

The meeting was intended to develop the story in the direction of making a plan for it.

It’s really disgusting if someone who doesn’t know the situation sees it.

‘I’m in charge.’

But even if I explained it in detail, he wouldn’t understand.

That’s why I only brought out the business directly to them.

I am in charge of this matter, not you.

Since the child believed in me, I had to live up to the child’s trust.

‘Are you just a new teacher?’

‘I am not an ordinary new teacher. She’s from the Red Cross.’

‘His reputation for going to the frontlines to save people… …. I listened well.’

‘Heh heh, I don’t know what it is, but as a soldier he is competent. But apart from teaching her children…….’

Of course, the achievements I made up until I came to this school may seem insignificant to them.

Even though the war has been going on for over half a century, not everyone has set foot on the battlefield.

But even so, it wasn’t that I didn’t have very few people who supported me.

‘The child was educated by Seine-sensei at the time of admission, and she said that she had awakened the power she possessed. As much as she trusts that child too, she believes that no one at this academy is more qualified to manage that child than Seine-sensei.’

Lloyd Saints Row.

My motive for joining the company, he insisted that I was the most suitable person for this job, taking advantage of the fact that I had picked up the child right after the entrance ceremony.

‘I guarantee it. Maybe that guy……. No, there is no one in this academy more capable of dealing with unavoidable danger than Seine-sensei.’

Gail Harsion.

Having the nickname of a warrior, he aroused their trust by briefly appealing to him when he encountered me on the front line.

Although I was an enemy with him, there is no such thing as a grudge relationship now.

Of course, even so, both of them are in a position that is unreasonable to exert influence in the school.

If it hadn’t been for the last one, he might have left this school against his will.

Who was that amazing person…….

“Ahahahaha~ Seine. You don’t look good~”

… Oh

At least this guy didn’t agree.

As much as the chairman or principal should observe the situation from a neutral point of view, they rarely interfere with the progress of the meeting.

“I’m sorry you’re busy, but are the documents ready?”

“Of course it was prepared, I carefully handed out the wedding papers to announce the start of Seine and I’s cozy newlywed life~♡”

“…….”

“… Is a joke~”

Yeah, that must be a joke.

As if she noticed that my mood wasn’t very good, she gave me the necessary documents without drawing the line of joke as usual.

A document specifying the addition of school rules.

It is a thing that can be established only when permission is obtained from the highest authorities in the school, such as the principal and the head of the board, as well as the faculty members.

It was at this academy that the school attendance system that had been promised with that child was finally born.

And…….

“Then I’ll excuse myself.”

“No wait.”

Mariel stopped me from leaving the office.

She held her papers in her hand. Her gaze was directed toward her.

“…Do you have anything more to say?”

“Seine has news that will be quite exciting.”

“Invigorating…?”

“Are there any teachers who shot magic at that time? I decided to permanently expel them from this Maris.”

“…….”

“…Oh, you must be quite surprised.”

Yeah, I was definitely surprised.

Considering the laid-back attitude that author showed when he used magic, he thought that at best it would end with a light punishment, such as a cut in salary or a ban from going out.

In fact, I knew that he had been working at this academy for more than 10 years, but to leave such a person right away without giving him another chance.

“Are you okay?”

“It’s okay~ There are people all over the continent who want to become teachers at this academy anyway. It’s a lack of people, so we just have to select the right person among them.”

Mariel Aries leisurely answers my words.

That her attitude wasn’t bravado, I knew very well that I had watched her for a long time, taking care of her Aries and her family.

“And since the current state of affairs is such a state of affairs, using magic on a student cannot be taken lightly for any reason. Because if something goes wrong, another war could break out.”

Yes, considering that the fight that took place at the gymnasium was overheated at the time, we cannot rule out the possibility that the ruling class would revolt if the news spread to all parts of the country.

Isn’t this the era of peace that has finally arrived?

She is not an arrogant teacher who halfway believes only in her background and her career, she would definitely want to avoid such a thing from the position of her leadership like her.

Seeing that he doesn’t mention any other punishments, he probably wants to set an example by capturing and purging that person.

In order to assuage anger towards the ruling class and to warn the ruling class.

“Well, personally, I was angry that Seine ended up like that, but~”

“…Please refrain from abuse of power.”

“If I don’t have an excuse, I won’t go this far~”

As long as there is an excuse, you can grab and defeat anything.

Considering that the starting point of the fight at that time was the children’s faults for not acknowledging Dale’s victory, the remarks made now did not sound very good from my point of view.

“So, how do you feel? Are you feeling a little better?”

“…….”

I couldn’t answer her last question right away.

It’s cool…..

Yes, it is a little lighthearted.

However, even that was only to the extent of scratching an itchy spot halfway through. Seeing that I was not satisfied with this level, I seemed to be a very greedy person.

Even if the nobleman, who set fire to the situation that would inevitably happen someday, had been kicked out, the current situation would have clearly created a gap between them.

As the conflict deepens, it won’t happen that the child goes back to the original class.

“…You must have had in mind that the same person would fill the position instead?”

More than anything else, the situation that happened at that time was not an individual.

Because I know that it was caused by a problem that has not been resolved even after half a century of war.

“I have to be prepared. Even for the sake of peace.”

Mariel responded to my warning with a relaxed attitude.

There, I couldn’t see the timid and weak side he had when we first met.

That also means that she too feels responsible and grows up.

Unlike me, who hasn’t changed since the end of the war.

***

Yes, everyone was a victim in the war.

Many die, and those who inherit their sacrifice will remember them throughout their lives.

The leadership in charge of all of them has no choice but to be more careful than before.

The only exception to the war in which the entire continent was swayed would be the lawless zone, where the eyes of the world will not be seen without empty words.

In those days, not inheriting anything from adults might be a ‘blessing’ beyond a talent that is second to none in the world.

To such a miserable blessing that could be considered a curse if there were no guide.

“… Quit smoking.”

When I realized the weight of it, I stood on the roof of the campus and lit a fire with a cigarette in my mouth.

Smoke billowing out of the railing.

Soon it spreads out as if hiding the world spread out beneath it.

“It’s filthy wide.”

Yes, it is a really large school.

Beyond the wall surrounding such a site, a truly vast city spreads out.

“It’s a filthy peaceful place.”

The distant city in front of it was no different from before I came to this school.

From noble mtl dot com

No, is it a bit wider? Certainly, this city is still expanding, so it would not be an illusion.

As I watched the scene, I burst into laughter without even realizing it.

“…… It would be nice if it continued.”

I hope that this quietness will continue in the future.

That was obviously from the heart.

In this unfamiliar world to which I was suddenly drawn, even after the time corresponding to the game’s ending has passed, time still continues.

Still, at the time, I thought it was only half a game.

As time continued to flow after the end of the war, I felt that everything I had experienced so far was approaching as reality.

Can’t you hear it even now when you close your eyes?

The sound of an explosion that turned the whole area upside down.

The shouts of tens of thousands of troops that pierced even that, and the painful breathing and screams that followed in the stillness.

‘Mom, I miss you… ….’

And the cry of a child who sobbed anxiously while holding on to the hem of my clothes.

“…… I thought I could get some rest now.”

I want to take care of the way such children will go…….

He also chose this path because he thought it would be a means to soothe his troubled heart, but he realized that it would take dedication to keep it.

I realized that only now means that I am still immature.

I don’t know as a soldier or believer.

I always realize that I am still not good enough to teach someone.

“It hasn’t been half a year since I started working, so taking a vacation won’t work.”

But haven’t you already set foot on this path?

Even if this road is more painful than I thought, there is no guarantee that it will be easier just because I am doing other things.

Not to mention, since I also took a child who needed me, I could no longer return it even if I wanted to.

“…… Let’s do some more.”

Yes, if it is unavoidable, the answer must be to boldly step forward.

While I was trying to organize my thoughts with a burnt cigarette, I began to feel someone’s presence behind me.

Is it an enemy?

“You are not allowed to smoke here.”

No, you are a student.

That’s also a student with a pretty upright aura. I pressed the tip of the almost burnt cigarette with my thumb and faced a student who followed me to the rooftop.

If you compare it to your previous life, a beret in a white school uniform that reminds you of the ‘Navy’……. No, that kind of style is usually called Jeongmo.

The medal worn on the chest shows that the student has made an achievement in this school, and the one on the arm indicates that the student has a position of authority in the place where he belongs.

“Are you the leader?”

“… You know right away.”

“Well, in this academy, only the leadership team has such an outfit.”

Of course, no matter what your position is, you are first of all a student at the school.

As a senior and teacher, I am definitely a child who will be the object of consideration.

“Still, it’s fate that we met like this, so should I introduce myself first? Nice to meet you. I’m Seine, the head of Maris’ guidance department.”

“…… Nice to meet you, Mr. Seine. I am Waden Smith, a high school sophomore at Maris Academy and the lead director.”

Introducing himself, the leader of the lead department lowers his head slightly while holding the brim of his hat.

It was only after I stared at his fingertips that his face came into my eyes.

Upright and sharp eyes that are not like a boy who is going to have a coming-of-age ceremony soon.

I’ve seen it before in the game.

“Is Smith the heir to the Wesson & Colt Company?”

“…You must know.”

“Oh what. Everyone knows.”

Wesson & Colt, a top arms specialist led by the Smith family.

As it was set up, it was responsible for the arms of the allied powers, and it was a place where they sold weapons to the imperial army, at least through black trade, and took advantage of it.

As much as they would do anything for profit, a family that, like the Jugret family, would take abuse from the imperial or allied forces.

The person in front of me was an important family that should never be left out of the game, but a person who became the heir to a family that could never be called clean.

“So, why did the next head of the Smith family come here? I don’t think I came here to penalize you for smoking.”

“…To be straightforward.”

As I faced him while leaning against the railing, he said, clutching his hair.

With his characteristic ferocious eyes sharply open.

“Dale Enburton. Could you leave the care of the child to our guidance team?”

Director Wadeen Smith, who brings up a topic that I can never overlook.

But I wasn’t particularly surprised.

Even if it’s a story that was concluded at the faculty meeting, it doesn’t mean there’s no place for others to interfere.

“… I would like to hear a detailed explanation.”

I just wished this moment to realize it.

One fact is that the incident centered on that child will not end with just this once.
