Manowa naturally sat down next to me and showed me the ‘Theory of Dealing with the Devil’ that he had distributed not long ago. He said he had been looking forward to meeting me since he had received this book as a gift from a friend on Musenion Island a few days ago.
“The value of the knowledge contained in the book was truly incredible. I wanted to express my honor and gratitude for providing valuable information. “Unlike wizards who keep their knowledge to themselves, the professor who spreads his knowledge without any compensation is a true educator.”
“Ah yes… what. It’s no big deal… … .”
“No, Professor. Too much humility loses meaning. It was even more surprising to see the professor in person. You have achieved so much knowledge at such a young age. Even though the path you take may be different, I dare say that your knowledge is comparable to the knowledge of the Magic Tower built up with glory… … .”
I smiled awkwardly and nodded.
Manowa praised me to the point where it felt burdensome. He had become a huge fan of my books. From the beginning, the goal was to spread knowledge among those who recognized the true value of the information, but I had no idea that they would come to me in person like this.
In some ways, Manowa was a very rude bastard. She asks eager questions, splashing her spit at the meal. In the end, I put the tray aside and answered his question.
He’s crazy.
The question and answer period lasted over thirty minutes.
I felt the need to turn on the fire.
“… By the way, I heard that Manowa is the guardian of the Magic Tower. By the way, may I ask how you work to maintain public order in Musenion?”
“I guess it’s only right for me to reveal my secrets to the professor. In fact, I was very arrogant until last year. From a young age, I grew up receiving false praise and grew up to be a stupid child with a twisted mind. However, I listened carefully to ‘his’ teachings and tried to change. Even the little things were a wake-up call. I realized it too late. “It’s not just the Magic Tower that I have to protect.”
Manowa’s smile was extremely kind.
“Surely Musenion’s experience will also be enlightening.”
“… You have met a truly remarkable person who gave enlightenment to Manowa, the guardian of the Magic Tower. “Can you tell me his name?”
“He possesses strong magic, but he has not been revealed to the public until now. He is clearly not after fame and fortune. He was so transcendent that I could barely hear his name. His name is also brilliant: he is Master Master of the Stars, Master Doner!”
I looked into Manowa’s sincere eyes and was lost in thought for a moment.
What did I tell him? Didn’t I say anything that would have given me such deep insight?
“So Manowa is his disciple?”
“It wasn’t a very grand relationship. “It’s just that his teachings became a lifelong enlightenment.”
“Speaking of teachings… … .”
“haha. In fact, it was closer to a single word of advice. He taught me about the importance of mindset. At first, I thought he was an enemy, but he willingly endured his anger for my hostile enemy and enlightened my foolish mind with a lightning strike. After that, he began to think deeply about his duties and duties as a guardian of the former Magic Tower. In the end, isn’t protecting the world the same way as protecting the Magic Tower? In that sense, your book is like another reminder to me. Professor, your knowledge will definitely become a light that will brighten the world and a weapon against evil.”
Holy shit.
There are degrees of expanded interpretation.
I smiled faintly, hiding my true feelings, at the bowl-haired man with shining eyes.
“I don’t know what to do with myself. haha… … ”
Smart idiot.
I realized from my past life that there are people who have two seemingly contradictory qualities.
It looked like Mano wanted to talk more, but I excused myself from doing school work.
“They say you can repay a thousand nyang debt with just one word. Ah, isn’t this the word to use in times like this?”
Let’s not think negatively.
perhaps.
Because he might be a fool worth using.

There were no classes for a while. Regular classes were also canceled.
Restaurants were also closed, leaving only two restaurants open. The passage of students and professors was also restricted for safety reasons. Rather, it was an opportunity for me. I was able to observe many professors and students at close range for several days. But as expected, there were no impersonators. At this point, you might have to assume that it doesn’t exist at all. If you only focus on things that are prohibited or disguised at home, your perspective will be narrowed. Since you never know when the devil might surprise you through the bottomless pit, now was the time to keep your head down and observe your surroundings.
It was while I was eating dinner at a restaurant in the central district.
“professor… … !”
It feels like meal times are being interrupted a lot these days. I put down my spoon and looked up. Brother Nand was standing at attention in front of me. I lost my appetite when I saw their faces.
“what? “Have you been stung by a bee?”
The Nand brothers who came to visit me were in a mess. His face was swollen as if he had been stung by a bee, and the wounds showed that he had been hit by someone. The posture is also strange. The balance of his body is tilted, as if his legs are uncomfortable. He covered it with his clothes, but I could tell. His brother must have been beaten so badly that he had bruises all over his body.
When I stared at him, my ‘younger brother’ Longrack avoided my gaze.
However, his ‘brother’ Roland hesitated and then shouted as if he was throwing up.
“I lost the duel.”
“duel?”
The two are students of swordsmanship. I heard that honor is very important in the swordsmanship department where you learn not only swordsmanship but also chivalry. So a very useless tradition has been passed down for a long time. It was a duel system that only bloodthirsty knights would do.
The title is a contest for honor. But where is the honor that children can protect?
In reality, it is nothing more than a confrontation between teenagers that makes their blood boil. It is a plausible portrayal of a primitive battle of rank. There was an atmosphere in Musenion where duels were tolerated as long as they did not kill or maim. I heard that duels don’t happen often because they are children of powerful noble families.
Beneath Brother Nand’s swollen eyelids were full of resentment. It seemed like he was waiting for me to ask him what was going on. I felt a little sympathy because it felt like I was seeing a dog getting wet in the rain.
“Why did you even have a duel?”
As soon as I spoke, Brother Nand opened his mouth at the same time, as if he was telling me.
“They made fun of us and called us cowards!”
“They made fun of us and called us cowards!”
I nodded and told him to calm down.
“Tell me just one person.”
The two exchanged glances.
Roland came forward and told the situation.
“The demon attack occurred a few days ago. At that time, our swordsmanship department was conducting self-sparring classes without a professor. My brother and I were exhausted from the high-intensity training we had had the previous day and from practicing more sparring than anyone else there. so… When the black demons attacked, we executed a ‘strategic retreat’. We decided that it was unreasonable to fight with an exhausted body! It’s not that I was scared and ran away! But the idiots from Berocol who were watching this… “They mocked me, called me a coward, ignored me, mocked me, and trampled on my honor.”
“Ha, so. Did you attack me because I was teased for being a coward? “If it’s Berocol, he’s older than you.”
“It doesn’t matter! I don’t think he’s a senior at all! And we… … .”
Longrack and Roland exchanged glances again.
“We are fine. Even if I get teased for being a coward. But they even caught you, mocking and despising you. “That is something I can never forgive.”
“Oh, Hugo came out because he was criticized, and it all broke down. so.”
I looked down at the plate and scratched my cheek.
Oh my god, cold beef soup. The oil hardened and became greasy.
“Are you asking me to take revenge?”
Their spirit beasts, the two hamsters, sensed the murderousness in my voice and hid in Brother Nand’s sleeve. The Nand brothers were also affected by Youngsu’s anxiety. The guys stood at attention, looked like they were crying, then turned and ran away without saying a word.

“Bland guys.”
I looked at the remaining food and eventually put down my spoon.
Seeing their swollen faces made me lose my appetite.
I’m annoyed. Why are you getting beaten up?
* * *
It was lunch the next day.
Brother Nand came to see me again.
Now, they even boldly ask for it.
“Additional supplementary study is requested!”
Currently, all classes at Musenion are suspended, and I have no obligation to teach them.
“why me?”
Brother Nand became mute as if he hadn’t expected the answer.
But unlike the day before, he didn’t run away.
“… “Master!”
“huh?”
“I will treat you as Master! “Master!”
“what. no.”
It was then.
In the Kunkan Empire, you are considered an adult at the age of fifteen, but you are usually treated like a child. Boys at that age may pretend to be strong, but they are soft on the inside, similar to bunches of grapes that burst when touched. What was so sad was that Longrack began to cry.
“That means you won!”
“No, why are you crying… … .”
“The duel was three against three. Our brother lost miserably, but you… … ! Even though we were unintentionally caught up in the duel, we fought to protect our honor until the end! If we were strong… If only I wasn’t weak! You wouldn’t have suffered such humiliation. “Huh.”
Was Hugo also involved?
What’s surprising is that Hugo got hit. He was a strong figure among his peers. Aside from being an obvious genius like ‘Sol Gar Gown’, he possesses unrivaled military skills.
“Hugo lost?”
The two nodded, wiping away their tears.
“Hugo easily beat even the apprentice knight of the Order who is about to graduate. But the last opponent… … .”
Roland said, gritting his teeth in revenge.
“He hated you from the beginning. He must have been watching for an opportunity. “You son of a bitch.”
“Who is this guy?”
“I am Verokol’s best disciple from Kunkan. Rumor has it that you have already become a squire of Solgar’s Red Lion Knights, you damn bastard.”
Roland looked around, took notice, and whispered in a low voice.
“All the cadets know that Professor Verokol favors students from the Empire. Isn’t it unfair since I learned the sword directly from Berokol, a former Solgar swordsmanship instructor? “He uses the Solgar swordsmanship that we couldn’t even learn.”
“Solgar… hmm. good.”
As my negative attitude changed, Brother Nand’s eyes began to shine.
“Blue blood is boiling.”
“yes?”
“Did you say it was unfair because he was the only one who learned the Solgar sword technique?”
Unfair, unreasonable.
Since recalling memories of my past life, I have been exposed to more irrational situations than anyone else. Because there were three absolute beings who could never be opposed. But on the other hand, I could have created unfairness. This is because there is something I have learned from the embodiments of irrationality.
“I’ll show you what’s really unfair.”
I told Brother Nand that we would resume English math classes starting tomorrow.
Classes are completely prohibited, but if you tell the dean, he will grant you that much favor.
I said something further to the delighted Brother Nand.
“And I need to run an errand for you.”
“yes. “Just ask me to do anything, Master!”
“Don’t show off. Tell this to other students, including you, Master. “Class starts tomorrow.”
“yes!”
The Nand brothers ran energetically.
It’s a strange feeling.
The guys who were struggling at first because they didn’t want to be trained decided to undergo hell training of their own free will.
growth.
Is it okay to say that?
“Ma’am, please give me one more plate.”
“Ho Ho. Why did you leave leftover food yesterday? “I heard you were disappointed.”
For lunch that day, I refilled the food four times.
