Chapter 549: Staff Room

We followed Weena Rhyn to the room that was much larger than I had expected. It was probably five times larger than what I imagined when she said it was the staff room.

Wooden desks were neatly arranged facing each other like an office or a staff room, and nearly a hundred people were working here right now.

Even so, only about half of the desks were occupied, so there were probably 200 to 250 people actually using this room.

It was even hard for us to see to the back of the room unless we got on a table as Weena Rhyn had climbed right now.

Ha~i, everyone, attention please~!

As soon as Weena Rhyn called out and clapped her hands, all eyes in the room then immediately focused on us.

Shes Fran, an adventurer. Shell be a special staff member and a transfer student for a while in this academy. And next to her is her follower, Urus.h.i.+. He can change his size a little, and hes a smart boy. So please take care of them

Ill be in your care

Woof!

After Weena Rhyn told them so, the teachers reactions were split.

They were split into those who were bewildered and those who accepted her. And it seemed that there were even more people who were bewildered. Many of the people here were just normal teachers, after all, so they might not understand what Fran was capable of.

On the contrary, the teachers who seemed to have accepted her were former adventurers and those dressed like magicians.

Well, they wont need fighting prowess to be a cla.s.sroom teacher, so I wont blame them.

However, the man closest to us, who was dressed in a suit, spoke up on behalf of the group. He looked like a chubby uncle in his fifties, who didnt get enough exercise.

I understand that shell be a short-term transfer student. And there will be no problem with her age. However, shell become a special staff member too? Where will she be placed?

It seemed that becoming a student and an instructor at the same time was indeed a rare thing in this academy.

First of all, Fran will be placed as the Advanced and Special Combat Cla.s.s Instructor

Eh? So, you mean, shes going to enroll in the Special Combat cla.s.ses

Shell become the Mock Battle Instructor

Her words then caused a slight commotion.

Mock Battle Instructor?

Isnt it that only a D or higher ranked adventurer is allowed to be an instructor?

Moreover, Ive heard that Advanced and Special Mock Battle Instructor is at least a C-ranker, right?

Apparently, the cla.s.s Fran was in charge of was a merit-based cla.s.s for both students and teachers. So, it was unthinkable for an ordinary teacher to be allowed to fill that role.

Shell be fine. Even though she looks like this, Fran is a B-ranked adventurer with an alias. In terms of fighting prowess alone, shes definitely at an A-ranked level

Eh? But if the Director says so, then it must be true

Fufu, Its been hundreds of years since someone has made me shed my blood in the academy after all

The commotion then became even louder than before. They must have been shocked to hear that she managed to hurt Weena Rhyn.

Th-the Director has made a contract with a guardian spirit to protect this academy, right?

Yeah. And she will be even strengthened when fighting in the academy

S-so, youre telling me that she managed to hurt that strengthened Director? No way

To them, she must be like an invincible legendary figure, and they have never even heard of her struggling in a fight.

Some of them seemed to think that it was a joke, but most of them seemed to believe it. However, some of them were staring at us because of it. Well, it couldnt be helped.

Weena Rhyn was the worlds most powerful magician and a High Elf who has lived for a long time. She was also the founder of the Academy of Magic and a world-famous hero. So, she must have many admirers.

For such admirers, hearing a story of someone who managed to hurt Weena Rhyn must be very unpleasant.

The uncle, who didnt know what was going on, was also confused.

Umm, what do you mean?

A lot of things had happened. Well, I can at least a.s.sure you that Frans ability is outstanding

U-understood

The way the uncle looked at Fran has changed. Before, it was as if he was surveying a mysterious beautiful girl, but awe had definitely been added now. The reason it was not fear was probably that she was someone that Weena Rhyn approved of.

What will be her cla.s.s then?

Lets put her in the Special Battle Cla.s.s

Are you sure?

It will be more convenient for her as an instructor. Besides, Fran is a first-rate magician, so it wont be a problem

It seemed that in order to qualify to get in the Special Battle Cla.s.s, someone needed to have not only decent fighting prowess but also decent magic abilities.

Is it okay to transfer her to the Special Battle Cla.s.s?

Rather, I think Fran has nothing to lose from doing this, right? Its a shame, though. After all, Frans magic skills are at a level where she can be trusted to be the head of a department at our academy

Huh? Sh-she is Quite amazing then

It was not a commotion anymore. Everyone was talking to each other so loudly that it almost looked like theyre shouting.

Probably, it was because that was a position that required considerable ability.

(Master)

Whats wrong? You dont like being the center of attention?

(Nn? I dont care about that. Rather than that, Im more interested in learning Spirit Magic)

She was not concerned about the teachers reactions. Rather, she had been thinking about where she was going to be transferred.

Are you sure? Well, ask her if they have any cla.s.ses that teach that kind of stuff then

Nn. Hey, I want to take a cla.s.s where I can learn Spirit Magic

Oh, so youre interested to learn that. You should choose Spirit Magic cla.s.s as your elective cla.s.s then

Apart from the curriculum of the Special Battle Cla.s.s, there was an elective cla.s.s where students could choose any cla.s.s they wanted. Among them, there were also cla.s.ses on Spirit Magic to choose from.

The Special Battle Cla.s.s doesnt have lessons on Spirit Magic?

The basic knowledge will be taught during the basic studies. As long as youre in this academy, that knowledge is absolutely necessary. But if you want to learn to use Spirit Magic, youll have to learn it in an elective cla.s.s

Hmm

But I dont know if youll be able to master Spirit Magic, you know? It was one thing that Fran had the talent to see spirits, but its a completely different thing if youll be able to get along with them

Is that so?

Yeah

It seemed that there was no uniform way to use a spirit or make a contract with a spirit because each spirit has a different personality and preferred a different partner for them. Therefore, it was quite difficult to teach.

In addition, there were very few people other than Elves who have the talent for Spirit Magic, and even fewer people who have the talent and could improve. And even if they do, it was not sure if they could master it because it was very difficult.

Because of this, it was quite difficult to incorporate it into the regular cla.s.ses. But she said it was fine for people who could sense spirits like Fran to choose an elective cla.s.s.

As for Elves, they dont need to learn Spirit Magic as they had been trained by their village or parents. However, many Elves were individualists, so they did more training on their own. That was why most of the Elves attending this academy did not take the cla.s.s on Spirit Magic.

Thats why I think you should be in the Special Battle Cla.s.s. After all, the teacher in charge of that cla.s.s was a Spirit Magic-user. You should ask her about it

Nn. Its good then

Yup. So, lets get started with the procedure then

I wonder what kind of cla.s.s that was.
