The two professors of the Department of Magic, known as members of Bo and Kongru, always chat for an hour at a teahouse by the lake after lunch. Among the senior professors, Professor McCarthy and Professor Lau, who are more active in external activities, are from Magic Tower and are not outstanding wizards, but they are experts in passing down knowledge in the difficult field of magic. So far, many Musenion graduates have been promoted to become researchers and guardians of the Magic Tower, and in recognition of their achievements, they have earned deep trust from both Musenion and the Magic Tower.
The reason I was interested in them was because of their curiosity. After the theory of dealing with demons was released, the people who reacted the most were wizards, and the acquaintances who introduced the theory of dealing with demons to Manowa, the head of the guardian of the Turquoise Magic Tower, were Professors McCarthy and Lau.
The approach was leisurely. I arrived at the tea shop before lunch and sat in the window seat they insisted on. They seemed to recognize me, but they didn’t approach me first. The next day, I headed to the teahouse ahead of them. This time I sat in a different seat. I felt their eyes watching me secretly. On the third day, we went to the end of our leisurely chat. The two of them finished chatting and stayed at the teahouse until I left, even though it was past time to return.
“Professor, I’m sorry for interrupting your tea time. “My name is Professor McCarthy of the Department of Magic.”
“This is Professor Lau from the Department of Magic.”
Fourth day.
The two approached first.
* * *
It wasn’t difficult to gain the attention and favor of the two. These are people who were initially interested in the theory of dealing with demons. I was delicious prey to satisfy their intellectual greed. The more sincerely they answered their questions, the more they began to show curiosity about me as a person. For two days, we talked over wine at a teahouse and at a restaurant after class.
Suddenly Professor McCarthy asked a question.
“How do you know so much about the devil?”
I decided to use a famous phrase from Earth.
It is a famous passage that can be interpreted in many ways depending on the listener.
“It’s probably the price you pay for looking too deeply into the abyss.”
People not only in the Kunkan Empire but also in this world are very sensitive to demons. Even the slightest joke is cautious, and if it is related to the devil, even the smallest thing is subject to surveillance and punishment. Moreover, they are both wizards. There are no wizards who have forgotten the ‘era of recorded dark skies’ before the Magic Tower was built. Those who are sensitive to the devil and cannot help but be sensitive.
“… You are truly amazing. “How did it feel when you looked into the abyss?”
Empty eyes.
The corners of the mouth slightly rise.
A voice that sounds like it’s yearning.
Okay, good acting.
“It’s like the abyss is looking into me… no. I felt dirty. Yes, it has to be dirty… “It must have felt like that.”
Wizards were smart, but they weren’t good at acting.
I almost burst out laughing when their gazes changed to blatant suspicion. The two members of Bo and Kongru are soft-spoken as wizards, so rumors may soon arise that they may be devil worshipers. Perhaps even from a prominent professor’s perspective, the theory of dealing with demons is really ‘unless you’re the devil!’ Since there are many unknowns, such rumors may already be floating around unknowingly.
That’s the purpose.
After that, we had a few conversations at the teahouse, and the conversation implicitly hinted at devil worship. After about a week, even if we ran into each other at a tea shop, they would only say hello to me and not talk to me.

Eventful.
Musenion 1st semester.
The final proof test day has ended.
[Chief of Engineers Semi-Class]
-Hugo von Silaren [999 points]
Hugo looked up at the notice board with a calm expression.
Just a few months ago, I really wanted that position. I believed that if I put my name there, I would be able to prove myself as the successor to the family. It was a goal. However, when I actually won the top spot in the proof test, my excitement calmed down. I realized it myself. This too is just one of the processes. As Hugo’s goals became more and more brilliant, he was not overjoyed to be ranked first among sixty outstanding students in his semi-class.
-Roland Nande [978 points]
-Long Bag Nand [977 points]
“That’s amazing, Hugo!”
“As expected, the successor to lead Silaren!”
The Nand brothers received the highest score, which they had not received in many years, but they only felt proud of their own growth, and what they were truly happy about was Hugo’s top spot. Brother Nand’s eyes became half-moon, and the corners of his mouth did not know how to lower them. Hugo shyly offered encouragement.
“You guys are amazing too. You went from last in your class to top 5. “Baron Nand will be happy.”
While the three were praising each other, a large man behind them was scratching his head and making a disapproving expression.
-Martin Carlos Saldaña [997 points]
“Okay, as expected…” … .”
It was greed.
The root of the problem was that he nominated an ‘associate professor’ during the last sparring exam to get a thousand points.
Martin was mortified. I won the ‘competition’, but I never thought someone like a moth would take away my points!
“Well, it doesn’t matter.”
Martin thought that the scores from the Department of Engineers had no meaning anymore.
Hugo didn’t care about the jealous looks of the students. He took out an envelope from his pocket. And he asked Martin with a faint smile.
“I had no idea this would be this exciting.”
“Haha, I think the same thing. Honestly, this place sucked from the beginning.”
Starting from the top of the semi-class, the students in the top 5 visited the head professor of the Department of Engineering as soon as the results were announced. It was the beginning of an unprecedented ‘escape’ even in Musenion’s long history. The head professor tried to stop them, but he could not infringe upon the students’ unique rights. The faces of the four people who came out of the school office were bright.
“Well, it will work out somehow.”
“Haha, Professor, do you really think you should leave this and run away?”

Medellin was afraid of blood and organs.
The first semester certification exam for the Department of Therapy is wound suturing.
It is a rather difficult test that uses the corpse of a dead animal.
This was the field in which Medellin received the lowest grade.
“huh?”
An examiner examining a wound sutured corpse submitted by Medellin.
My first thought was cheating. Because I knew Medellin well, I couldn’t believe the results I saw in front of me.
“How is it so neat?”
Even if it is a dead body, it has been marinated in medicine from the Department of Reagent Medicine, so if an artery is touched incorrectly, blood spurts out uncontrollably. The submissions from outstanding therapy students also showed many traces of blood. But only Medellin’s submission was different. The examiner carefully handled the rabbit’s body. Even though I was wearing gloves, I felt a chill. It feels like it’s frozen. Obviously, the testing site was hot in summer.
After hesitating, he gave the highest score in the record book next to Medellin’s submission.
Additionally, one warning was added.
[Warning for suspicion of fraudulent activity]

[Transfer application]
A professor in the Department of Therapy who glares at the two girls with a bewildered expression.
We are actively supporting the issue of misconduct in Medellin.
The professor in the Department of Therapy, who had praised May’s abilities and went to the dean one by one, screaming that she should be classified as national property, had a headache and a stiff back in his neck when he received the transfer application form for the two. Before she was a teacher, she was a therapist herself, so she knew what these symptoms meant.
Acute stress headache.
“Whoa.”
She calmly sipped her herbal tea and barely managed to speak.
“why?”
Medellin answered cheerfully.
“For Malang!”
“… what?”
May responded next.
“… “For Malang and this guy.”
“Ugh.”
The professor in the Department of Therapy took sick leave for the next four days.
* * *
The semester ended and vacation began.
Musenion’s vacation is short.
Due to the recent demon attack, classes were shortened, so it lasted only ten days at most.
At the end of the semester, the dean summoned me to discuss formal classes in the English and Mathematics Department.
“Congratulations on becoming a full-time professor.”
“What, haha.”
Big-
The dean cleared his throat, looked out the window, and spoke vaguely.
“If you become a senior professor, you will have more authority.”
“For example?”
“You can hold professor meetings, request external support, and enter research facilities, museums, and cultural sites around the world that cooperate with Musenion without a visit request. Likewise, if you visit a partner country, you will be treated as a semi-distinguished guest. Oh, I guess you don’t need it. More than anything… … .”
“You could join Bo and Kongru.”
The Dean gave a brief shrug.
After the vacation ends, you become a regular class teacher and a regular professor.
But from the beginning, my goal was to be a senior professor. First of all, because our goal was to open formal classes, we did not ask about the requirements for head professors. The dean also had his own ideas, so he did not go ahead. I asked him.
“What do I need to do to become a senior professor?”
Dean.
Thought.
It must have been all there.
“The proof of teaching ability is not for the teacher, but for the students receiving the learning. “All you have to do is collect Korentwa’s stars.”
Okay, because Lily has it.
… … .
No, wait, Lily is in the music department.
The dean, noticing that I was embarrassed, smiled kindly and said,
“Don’t worry. Starting next semester, there will be more ways to get stars with Korent. “The students you teach will be able to get it.”
“Well, I guess it can be done quickly with just one.”
“huh? Did I mention there was one?”
“huh?”
Cough-
The dean cleared his throat, then turned his chair and looked out the window.
I figured out his habits.
Every time he said something strange, he avoided my gaze and looked out the window.
“I need a few.”
The dean didn’t answer, but when he asked again, he raised his ten chubby fingers.
“Ten?”
“okay.”
“Ten?”
“I can’t help it because it’s a rule.”
“No, shit… … .”
According to the dean, in order for a professor to be recognized and promoted to senior professor, more than ten students taught by the professor must wear the Korintwa star. In other faculties, the number of students is over 40 and at most hundreds, so there are a lot of opportunities. However, even if all six students in the English Department get the Korintwa star, four students are still lacking. In other words, it was completely impossible from the beginning.
“I know… … .”
I seriously thought about getting one.
“Why are you saying that now?”
The dean coughed violently. Are you pretending to be sick?
“Cluck, cough, cough – that’s… I’m sorry. “I forgot.”
“There is something else to eat. this… … .”
I could barely hold back the swearing.
The dean continued speaking in an apologetic voice.
“Because there are not enough students… I can’t help it. “I will use my special dean authority to recruit ‘special students.’”
“Special student?”
“Department of English Language Arts… “Don’t you know that he is a special student?”
At that moment, I realized again that the dean was not a stupid pudgy person, but a cunning dwarf with a wicked personality. From the beginning? No, it was when the official class story came out. The worry was short-lived. I felt bad because I felt like I had been played into the hands of the dean, but it was actually a good story. Unlike last time, if the area where the bottomless pit appears is wide, I cannot monitor the entire area alone.
Students in the Department of English Language and Mathematics and personnel to assist with intelligence.
The dean is telling us to fill in the manpower.
“See you in ten days.”
I immediately packed my bags and headed to my hometown, Reinberg’s Quartz Castle.
An emergency blood transfusion was needed. At least four young psychics (or those who are good at pretending to be).
