The strongest necromancer with evolution characteristics (269)
professor
“Well, thank you!”
The guy who knocked on the office and came in was Adam, one year my junior.
I knew him because he was a student who graduated last year and was Lucia’s classmate.
“name is.”
But I guess I’ll have to pretend I don’t know.
“iced coffee! So, I should have introduced myself first, but I was rude! “My name is Adam Taylor, and I am Professor Adrias’ assistant magic instructor starting this year!”
“Is he Count Taylor’s son? He graduated last year, right?”
“That’s right!”
“Originally, I should have entered the tower, but it was a shame.”
“no! Rather, it is an honor to be able to join Professor Adrias as an assistant professor!”
“If you think about it, I’m a year older than him, but I feel comfortable with him. “As long as you distinguish between public and private matters, I don’t intend to be so strict about it.”
“Ah, I understand, Professor.”
Because you’re a professor… … .
It’s a very awkward title.
The tower in the imperial palace was closed after we left.
It wasn’t a permanent closure, but entry was banned for at least this year.
‘This year’s graduates and Lucia suffered a loss.’
Lucia, who should have received compensation from the tower, also suffered damage due to this closure.
The rewards are random each time, so I don’t know what I got, but considering future episodes, it was an unfortunate loss of power.
In particular, the compensation I received was the highest ever, so the comparison was even more impressive.
“This is my guard knight and swordsman instructor, Vivian Bellocan.”
“I’ve heard it before! Nice to meet you, senior Vivian!”
Adam Taylor was a guy with a round personality.
I remember that the 4th dimension Lucia was also handled well.
I was lucky to be selected as an assistant professor.
“Adam, you can take that seat over there from now on.”
“thank you!”
In general, becoming an assistant professor of magic at the Academy was one of the courses required to enter the Magic Tower.
Those who are recognized for their talent, like Dienne and Lucia, are scouted by the Magic Tower immediately after graduation, but before that, most of them work as assistant professors or work under wizards subordinate to the territory.
Among them, the position of assistant professor at Rodelen Academy was particularly competitive.
This means that even if Adam looks a little foolish, he is a talented person who survived through fierce competition.
“Yes, Professor.”
“… … .”
“Professor Adrias?”
You were calling me.
I wasn’t used to being called professor yet.
“why?”
“I was wondering if there was a schedule for the future. You have to prepare for lectures in advance, find a location, and coordinate with other professors… … .”
“First of all, I don’t have any plans this week.”
I said as I finished reading the book I was reading.
“Yes, yes?”
“There is no schedule. At least, unless the students come to see me in person.”
“Ah, freedom map. okay.”
Adam nodded in understanding.
The conversation was cut off for a moment, and Adam raised his hand again while he was still reading the book.
“Uh, professor.”
“Ask at once.”
“S-sorry. That means… … .”
Adam asked cautiously, looking left and right as if he was a little troubled.
“What should I do?”
“You have to find it yourself. “Because you are no longer a student.”
“Yeah, that’s right. haha.”
“Like I said, there’s nothing to do right now. So, proceed with your personal research.”
“Is that okay?”
“then? “What are you going to be doing?”
Adam looked blank for a moment at my words, but then nodded.
“Okay, thank you.”
“It’s nothing to be thankful for. Oh, and since he’s my assistant professor, I guess I’ll have to act like a professor too. If I don’t seem busy, you can always ask for advice or help with magic. “Well, I don’t really have great skills.”
“Oh, no! “I have reviewed Senior Adrias’ graduation thesis over 100 times!”
He spoke so hurriedly that he didn’t seem to notice even though he was a senior.
Since this is a graduation thesis written by Diene and Lucia, it has no choice but to be perfect.
“We were already conducting research on the concept of ‘control.’ “The analysis of this new origin has been a hot topic these days not only in the Empire but also in magic academia, so it’s an honor for an authority to take a look at it for yourself!”
I think you overestimate me.
In order not to disappoint his expectations, it may be possible to get help from Diene nearby.
“Then right now… … !”
Knock knock!

What interrupted Adam’s excited words was a knock on the door.
It was fortunate for me.
“who are you?”
Adam did not forget his duty.
The answer to his question came immediately from beyond the door.
“It’s Morgan.”
“Come on in.”
The first guest in the office was Morgan, an academy employee directly under the principal.
He opened the door and came in, greeting me with a happy face.
“Professor Adrias. “I never thought I would see you again like this.”
“I still find the title of professor awkward.”
“haha. “You will gradually get used to it.”
When I tried to show him where to sit, he waved his hand.
“I came only to convey Principal Deos’ words, so I have to go again urgently.”
“okay.”
“It’s just that they said they would like Professor Adrias to participate in tomorrow’s seminar.”
“If it’s a seminar… … .”
“This is a seminar for new students of the Department of Magic. Professor Kaelin, Professor Silbeck, and Professor Tolman are participating.”
I knew it.
Nevertheless, the question I asked back was how to prepare for the seminar, which only had two days left.
“I heard there are only two days left.”
“Oh, you don’t have to worry. “The other professors all prepared the lectures, but Professor Adrias just attended.”
Are you saying it has to do with the face?
There is no need to refuse.
“All right.”
“Then, with that in mind, I will leave now.”
Morgan must have been really busy, so he quickly said what he had to say and walked away.
When he left, Adam asked quietly.
“If it’s a seminar, it will come from other magic towers, right?”
“I guess so. “Because this is Rodlen Academy.”
“Of course Rodlen Magic Tower will participate as well?”
“uh.”
Looking at the expression, it’s so good, I’m dying, I’m dying.
After Morgan left, things got quiet again for a while.
Adam left to get his luggage, saying he hadn’t brought all his luggage yet, and Vivian was just looking at my face from the side.
It’s peaceful.
“Another customer.”
Vivian said, turning her gaze towards the door.
Looking at the footsteps, I guessed it was Serena.
smart.
“come in.”
Around my senior year, I was so busy creating original magic for my thesis, and last year, I couldn’t pay much attention to it due to the time I spent in the tower and the time I spent reorganizing after leaving.
I hadn’t seen him for two years, so I was curious about how much the trio, now in their fourth year, had grown.
“Hello professor.”
The person who came in as I expected was Serena Erestial.
Unlike two years ago, she felt like her physique had become slimmer, and the coat on her shoulders and the armband on the coat were particularly noticeable.
“Serena, it’s been a while.”
“The professor is still the same.”
It seems like the atmosphere has changed a bit somehow?
You used to be embarrassed by me, but you’ve grown a bit?
“so. “What is your business?”
“I came right away after hearing what you said in the main auditorium.”
Serena slightly waved the sword on her waist.
“I’ll prove myself and get some guidance.”
“Are you confident?”
“yes.”
It has also changed.
In my opinion, it wasn’t a bad change, so I was just happy about it.
“I thought the first week would go by quietly, but something happened right from the start.”
“Do you not like it?”
“No, I’m rather glad to see you. “I would have been disappointed if at least one of you hadn’t come.”
“Now that I see it, the professor has changed a little. “You know how to tell jokes like that.”
“I was always like this.”
The boring jokes were over.
I immediately closed the book, got up, and took Galakshur.
“Go to the training ground.”
* * *
My office was located in the Department of Magic.
Since I graduated from the Department of Magic, my graduation thesis played a big role.
Thanks to this, the road to the training center was crowded.
“This is Professor Adrias.”
“Are you with the student council president?”
“The escort driver following behind me is also a senior who graduated the year before last?”
Due to the nature of the academy, the number of students decreases as the grade increases, so there were more students meeting me for the first time than those who knew me.
Thanks to this, unlike before, I saw a lot of students with a strong desire to win, but perhaps thanks to Serena next to me, nothing unpleasant happened.
“So, I heard the student council has gotten a little stronger recently?”
“Yes, that’s what happened as I did it.”
“You have succeeded. “The person I knew was at the bottom of the student council.”
“That happened when I was a freshman.”
Although the training hall was not located on the grounds of the Faculty of Magic, I had to come to the Faculty of Knights.
Because Serena wasn’t the only one I had to see.
Oooh!
When we finally arrived at the training hall, there were already quite a few students.
As if the rumor had already spread, a few people could be seen taking their seats.
“President Serena, cheer up!”
“Aja, aja!”
The enthusiastic cheering and cheering made it feel like a spring tournament.
I thought it was cute that it was fresh and had a strange tension.
“Let’s start with some light sparring first.”
“All right.”
Serena put down the coat on her shoulder.
And then he slowly began to draw his sword.
I don’t know how much my skills have grown, so it’s a bit difficult to take my time.
“Vivian, please give me my spare sword.”
“huh.”
Galakshur’s cutting power competed for the highest level among named items, making it difficult to use in sparring.
However, when Serena saw that, her expression did not look good, probably because she thought she was being ignored.
“Relax your face.”
“… … “I’m not the kid I used to be, Professor.”
“I know. “If I didn’t know, I would have picked up a training sword, not a real sword.”
Those words were the starting point for Serena to run towards me.
Kang!
“good.”
A surprise attack aimed at breathing.
not bad.
The surroundings were suddenly enveloped in silence.
I could feel that the students who were cheering also focused on us with tense expressions as the sparring began.
Slurring―――.
Cheaeng!
Serena’s attack was simple but fast.
In addition, the seemingly innocent group began to appear as if she had absorbed them well in her own way.
“under.”
Seeing Serena grow up made me sigh involuntarily.
This was the first time I knew that even if I was happy, I could sigh.
Wow!
Serena let out everything she could.
The sword, which I thought was simple, sometimes showed irregular movements, and sometimes tried to follow the flawless flow and cut off the texture of my movements.
‘Is this your interpretation?’
As a proud feeling filled my heart, Serena suddenly blocked my sword and stepped back.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
Her sword began to cry.
“It’s out!”
Someone shouted at the sight of Serena like that, and others were seen watching with anticipation.
“come.”
I didn’t interrupt her preparations.
I just hung my sword and waited for something to come.
Piing-.
For a moment, her sword came at me with such speed that even I almost missed it.
However, my genius level swordsmanship instinctively read even her sword.
Paang!
Serena was thrown out with a sound like a drum exploding.
The sound was quite loud considering it was hit with the side of the sword.
“ah?”
“What happened?”
Even those sitting in their seats stood up and tried to understand what had happened a moment ago.
But no one could explain it.
“It’s not over yet.”
Serena woke up looking fine.
Actually, it will be fine. Because I lost my strength and hit him.
“okay.”
“… … ha.”
At my calm answer, I saw a glimpse of despair in Serena’s eyes.
Did they show too big a gap?
Actually, as it was, there shouldn’t be a big difference between Serena’s skills and mine.
However, thanks to an unexpected connection at the top, I learned the martial arts of the Namgung family and ended up going up another level.
It was one of the best martial arts skills in that world, so it was only natural.
“Do you think the gap hasn’t narrowed?”
“… … .”
“Looking at Lewis and Chris, you would have already realized that you are not the only one running in this world.”
As much as I put in effort, the other person is also putting in the effort.
So you must not let down your guard.
“I know. But at least… … .”
Serena slowly sheathed her sword.
“I wanted to surprise you.”
“I was surprised enough.”
It wasn’t a lie, it was real.
I always tried to take care of him out of compulsion to keep an eye on him, but I was surprised that he eventually grew up so well without me.
“I couldn’t keep up with your speed for a moment. “I blocked it almost by instinct.”
“… … “Really?”
“You must be vaguely feeling it too, right?”
Serena may have felt it too, but she didn’t seem to be sure.
And Serena, who had finally put her mind to my words, smiled.
“ha. “I’ve grown up, right?”
“okay. “I guess Lewis and Chris will win now, right?”
“Unfortunately, that’s not the case.”
Serena smiled bitterly and turned her head.
“You’re here just in time. “I wondered why they didn’t come.”
“Serena Erestial.”
I didn’t care whether Lewis or Chris came.
What’s in front of me right now is Serena.
It wasn’t enough to just focus on her.
When I called her name strongly, her eyes returned to me.
I spoke clearly to her.
“You deserve my free guidance.”
“… … yes.”
“My free guidance is not available to just anyone.”
Serena nodded at my words.
“You mean I approve.”
“iced coffee… … .”
Her expression was filled with joy.
