The Academy’s Health Teacher Wants to Take a Break

Episode 76. I am a teacher and they are still children.

(Note: In the large-scale revisions from 10/13 to 10/16, there were major changes to the character of Mariel Aries and her relationship with Seine. Existing readers should refer to this point and read it.)

A terrorist incident in the school district city that occurred during the training camp.

The only thing I interfered with was the transaction site of the parties, but when I looked at the inside story, I could see that various problems were coming out one after another from the root.

To put it briefly, it is the result of a series of big and small irregularities in the city’s management system.

Of course, it can be said that it was predicted in a way. No matter how perfect a society is, there are blind spots, and those who want to satisfy their own desires using these points exist everywhere.

From simple embezzlement for personal gain, bribery, excessive treatment using hierarchical order, abuse of public funds, etc…….

The holes in the surveillance network created while hiding such problems were being shared as open information to those who are commonly called the underworld.

The attack on Heide a few months ago was also aimed at this gap.

Of course, from the manager’s point of view, as much as the incident broke out while they were waiting all the time, the handling and rectification also proceeded in an instant.

“…… For that reason, I have been confirmed to stay up all night for the next few days.”

Of course.

It’s not something you get for free even with such quick work.

“Are these all data from the aftermath of this case?”

“Compared to when my grandfather was working, the scale has grown so much that the work has increased as well. Of course, since a good opportunity has come, I’m thinking of replacing the old system completely.”

Piles of papers filling the office of the chairman.

Sighs and laughter escaped from Mariel’s mouth as she looked around the documents one by one.

Although the amount is small compared to the documents I saw when I visited the student council room, the weight contained in each sheet has an astronomical difference.

The fate of thousands and tens of thousands of people may be decided by whether or not to stamp it.

Nonetheless, she was prepared to carry out her duties in a leisurely manner, as if she were conforming to her destiny.

“Wow, did they do too much? I’m always putting my energy into managing the city, but the chairman asks me what I’m doing and how I’m going to take responsibility for accidents caused by students who aren’t under my jurisdiction.”

“I don’t know who did it, but I feel very sorry.”

“Will you comfort me if you really think that way? Ideally, just the two of you on the bed~♡”

Hey, this b*tch is like that.

“Aren’t you busy at work?”

“Ah, people can’t live while working, can’t they? We’re all saying let’s live comfortably, but we should make time for Yu-hee and enjoy it.”

Mariel has been ignoring my duties and giving me a dash.

For me, who only wanted to talk about work and hang out, it was an unwilling reaction.

“…… I’m sorry, but I have a lot of work, so it’s hard for me to find time for myself.”

“hahahaha~ I, the chairman of the board, called it. What can other people say?”

“If you don’t do anything, the secretary will scold you.”

“Ugh. That’s kind of it.”

Scary to mention her secretary, Mariel’s face immediately became contemplative.

Yes, the chairman’s secretary has been quite a bloody person ever since he was in the family.

She has worked for the Aries family for a longer time than I have, and since she followed Marielle as a home teacher at the academy, it is certain that she will be scolded harshly for fooling around.

“… What did the criminals decide to do?”

So let’s focus on this topic for now.

As she watched as she reviewed the necessary documents, Marielle didn’t care much about the question she asked.

“What happened? The ringleaders should be sentenced to life imprisonment, and the children below them should rot for more than 10 years in a labor camp.”

“… There is no death penalty.”

“Are you disappointed?”

“No, I would have been disappointed if I had been sentenced to death.”

Because Heide’s embrace is too merciful for trash like them to be embraced right away.

How much more should we not show an example of suffering alive rather than burying?

Of course, taking care of the human rights of criminals would have the opposite effect, but what……. You shouldn’t have to worry about that part.

Although this world may be behind the times, that’s why punishment is more severe than the original world.

“But I’m quite worried about this one that came in recently.”

Of course, Mariel has already taken care of such punishment.

She said that what mattered to her was the future of this academy, not the garbage that would never be released to society again.

“You are worried, what do you mean?”

“Since the end of the war, the number of crimes committed in Maris has increased significantly.”

Mariel, still looking through the documents, let out a grave voice.

A little peek into the contents confirmed that it was an incident of a completely different kind from anything I had experienced before.

About another incident that happened on the other side of the vast city…….

“…… Did anything bigger than this happen?”

“Yes. It wasn’t publicized, as always, but it happened almost simultaneously.”

There are two events that could cause the city to collapse at the same time…

No, there are probably many incidents that are smaller than that and are not reported to the top and handled by their own ships.

And when all of that news comes, the city will fall into a panic right away.

“I managed to block it somehow, but maybe this is a precursor. It’s a sign that something bigger may happen in the future.”

Nothing.

It’s not just arms dealers and avengers that want a war.

On the contrary, the guys I’ve dealt with in the past are guys who can’t even fit the axis of ‘shattering’ except for Deus Ex Machina.

It is clear that those who are determined and want to do something will approach more secretly and meticulously.

“… You must be responsible.”

“You have to be prepared.”

Mariel answered with a bitter smile.

But even that laugh soon began to ooze with skepticism.

“The problem is that the ideals of the superiors are too great compared to their determination.”

A superior. I’m a bit nervous when the president of the international academy says something like that.

But if you think about it, the position of the chairman of the board of directors of Maris is not a position that can be called the highest level leader in the continent as a whole.

Wasn’t the situation in which the children of the leadership were caught up in the situation was the emperor’s influence?

Of course, even if the emperor didn’t directly lead it, when those who received the order entrusted the subcontract to the subcontractor, things were bound to get terribly twisted.

Society always has such problems…

There is no point in discussing what-ifs about what has already happened, so you will have no choice but to adapt to the current system right now or hope that it will be fixed in the future.

“Then, I’m done with my business, so excuse me.”

And it’s not me who’s leading it, but Mariel, who is in power.

I hope that you will solve it well in the future.

“Seine, wait.”

It took a while to get out of the chairperson’s office with the necessary documents right after.

Her Mari El looked back at her quietly at her call.

From noble mtl dot com

Her only moment is her hand holding her papers in her hand.

“You don’t intend to come under me right now, do you?”

“I’ve said it many times, but I… ….”

It’s been awhile since I thought about making a dash again and tried to answer casually.

I realized that the atmosphere was quite serious and gave up my previous attitude.

Ah, yes. This is no joke.

It is definitely an extension of the proposal I made right before entering this academy.

“…… I’ve said it many times, but the answer is the same.”

An armed group that protects the suburbs she manages.

Although it is said to be an era of peace, I also realized the significance of their existence through this incident.

Because peace is not achieved only with words, but only with the power to resist those who threaten power.

“Why?”

“I want to rest.”

However, ideals and reality must be kept separate.

Unfortunately, as I had been on the battlefield for 10 years, I was desperate to live comfortably for the rest of my life.

No matter how trustworthy I am, in the end I am just a human being.

As long as I don’t become the subject who wants to do something, it’s clear that in the end there will be worse results than not doing it.

“… I want to rest.”

Mariel put on a puzzled expression at my answer, then walked over with her typical smile.

“Okay, if that’s your choice, you should respect it.”

The conversation ended with that.

After leaving her chairperson’s office, I skimmed through the contents of the documents she took over.

In a sense, it is an achievement that can be said to have relied heavily on her power.

“…… Well, I said I wanted to take a break, but the problem must be that my job as a teacher is formidable.”

The right to manage the ancient weapon that the criminals wanted to trade is transferred…….

This would be impossible without the protection of those in power.

Of course, from that side’s point of view, they needed someone to trust them to temporarily take care of things that were difficult to deal with, so I guess they allowed it.

“A person with abnormal abilities, born in a barbarian tribe, and an ancient weapon…”

No matter how much it is built on the border, all the different kids are gathering.

Since there are so many other kids gathering, this academy will have endless incidents, but……. Well, I will have to endure all of that.

I am a teacher and they are still children.

The world will see such children as dangerous, but if you have time to look inside, everyone will eventually realize.

There is no malice towards them, they just don’t know much about the world.

Aren’t such children cute compared to adults who are proud of having cheated on as if they had bought the whole world?

“Now then, let’s do our best today.”

It’s been a long time since I shook off all hesitation.

I made my way to the health room with a bundle of papers in my arms.

Hopefully, I hope my choices now will have meaning in the future.

And then, around the time when everything that happened that day was settled.

Maya, who was still working alone in the student council room, suddenly heard a knock and lowered the pen holder in her hand to direct her attention there.

“Chairman, may I come in?”

“Yes. Come in.”

A short blond boy came inside with a familiar voice.

He was a student at the health room whom he personally called for business.

“That, long time no see. How have you been?”

“Huh, thanks to that, I’m a bit more relaxed.”

If this child hadn’t been there, he wouldn’t have been bothered by accounting work until now. Maya smiles at the thought.

In fact, the fatigue felt on her face had lessened compared to her first meeting.

Since that day, many worries have been resolved, and I have succeeded in securing the necessary time for sleep.

“…… Dale. The reason I called you was to make you a suggestion.”

Of course, the reason I called this boy now was not for such a casual conversation.

“A suggestion, huh?”

“Yes.”

A very serious attitude.

Sitting at her desk with her back to the sunlight, she felt a sense of dignity befitting her position as president.

“Student Dale Enverton. I will give you a direct proposal.”

That’s why they called this boy for a serious reason.

“Please, would you like to take my recommendation and apply for the student council accountant?”

Maya Karis, student council president of Maris.

She was sincere, she wanted to give this boy a chance who was shunned by all the students in the academy.

This boy has a talent that no one else at this academy has.
