chapter 5
5. Appointment of professors (5)
“A new professor is coming?”
“Yes, Vice-Chancellor. From what I have heard, they are the ones you have personally appointed.”
“Your Majesty yourself?”
“Yes.”
Grasco’s vice-president, Ronald, began to feel dizzy. He relieved the headache by pressing on his temples.
“Uh… … What did the principal say?”
“He hasn’t said anything yet, but considering his disposition… … .”
“Ronald! Are you there!”
At that moment, the door to Ronald’s office slid open and an old scholar with a recalled expression appeared.
“A new professor is coming! So can I retire now?”
“… … Would you say that?”
Ronald’s headache got worse.
“Get that out of my office right away.”
“Ronald, this is my friend. To the end of people’s words… … .”
“Let it make sense! Do you think a blue young professor can replace you? Stop talking about retirement!”
Ronald declared adamantly.
It’s not that Heinz’s mind doesn’t make sense.
He is a genius of the century who is called the best intellect on the continent. Heinz and Ronald’s mentor, the former president, had not been forcibly entrusted with this, but he was a nobleman who would have been confined to a mountain and only studied.
“It looks like the royal family will seriously interfere with Grasco. Without you, who is going to stop the offensive?”
“I don’t care.”
“… … Come on, I’ll take that off.”
“Yes, Vice-Chancellor.”
“for a moment! I see. stop retirement. instead… … .”
Ronald’s expression rots even more.
Retirement is always a bait. This guy’s heart is… … .
“I think this new research will cost quite a bit of money… … Can you take care of it?”
“Even if I try to eat and die, I can’t, you bastard!”
“Then I will retire and go to another academy… … .”
“… … Aww, it’s my sale. Get it out right now, right now!”
“Sir, you’re here today.”
“Ronald, think carefully!”
Heinz’s voice as he moved away sounded annoying, but Ronald will eventually grant Heinz’s request.
It’s because this Grasco survived based on his research achievements.
Without it, even the talented people who enter the school will die.
Isn’t it only when talented people come in to nurture and produce results?
‘When the royal interference begins… … Students may also be driven to war. What do you mean?’
A war cloud that surrounds the continent.
Even in the past, when the war intensified, there is a record that even the students of the academy were recruited.
Again, there is no way not to do that.
Until now, Grasco had been able to stop it somehow because he had taken a step back from the king’s influence. .
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
“It’s a big thing, a big thing… … .”
bang-!
“Ronald, if the full amount is not enough, even half… … .”
“… … get out.”
Ronald was troubled in many ways.
* * *
{Cradle of all talented people in the world}
‘Yes, yes. This is Grasco.’
Grasco’s ideology.
Cultivating all talented people in the world without distinction of status.
how cool is this
Usually, the academy only fosters the children of wealthy merchants and nobles, but in this Grasco, they are nurturing promising talents by giving them scholarships.
At first, this system did not shine so brightly, but when Heinz took office as president, it was covered to some extent thanks to the research results. But it also has limits.
Grasco’s financial condition is not good.
There was no contradiction in the fact that the academy of the wealthiest kingdom was struggling with money, but it was like a last bulwark built to prevent the royal family from meddling in the educational field.
The same is true for this appointment as a professor.
As Grasco is, of course, Aerokk’s academy, the king also has the right to appoint professors. However, because of the tacit consent of the royal family and Grasco, this personnel right has never been used. But this time, he broke that tacit agreement and appointed me as a professor.
This may also be the reason why the professors looking at me are not pretty.
“It is an honor to meet the Count of this race of the rumored race. My name is Harriet, who is the dean of the Department of Combat.”
“This is Lucas.”
Frozen in the tense atmosphere, a short answer came out.
However, this seems to have caused a strange misunderstanding.
“As expected, you are the strong man that your Highness paid attention to. Do you mean to prove yourself rather than words?”
The atmosphere became colder.
“Understand. Although His Majesty may have ‘recommended’ you as a professor at Grasco based on your abilities, we can only see that the royal family planted people in Grasco.”
In particular, the vice-president, Ronald, expressed the most hostility. Outwardly, I treat them with manners and kindness, but it was ‘shown’ that this person hated me.
In this uncomfortable situation, I had no choice but to sip tea.
“Hmm… … .”

Meanwhile, Grasco’s president, Heinz’s burdensome eyes continued to scan me.
Panic seems to be over I wanted to get out of this situation quickly.
“Stop- how about doing that?”
-Yes, I understand.
oh shit, that’s a surprise
A man in a black mask suddenly appeared before his eyes. Goosebumps sprang up on my back.
Since when?
“Once again, the eyes of the Lord did not deceive.”
‘Again?’
I’m sorry, but I’m new to that.
“Amjung Escort!”
“Isn’t it your Highness’s secret escort that I’ve only heard of through rumors?”
“Did you really know in advance of that escort of Amjung?”
No, I didn’t know.
“of course. I’ve never deceived Sir Krause before.”
Instead of me, who couldn’t say anything, the masked man answered instead.
“It’s said that the stealth ability is unparalleled, but it is capable enough to detect every time, not just once, of a dark escort.”
“That cannot be denied.”
It wasn’t intentional, but it seemed to be going well anyway, so I kept my mouth shut.
“By the way, it’s not enough to use your greeting card, so you’re even sending an escort to Amjung. Is your majesty trying to put Grasco at his feet?”
said Ronald, looking uncomfortable.
Then the masked man shook his head and took out a small box from his arms.
“It is the sincerity that Your Majesty shows. I’m sorry that I suddenly interfered with the appointment of a professor. Here Sir Krauss said that he is a talented person you guarantee, and that he will definitely help Grassco.”
He opened the box he had brought.
At first glance, the box was full of expensive jewels.
‘How much are you going to sell all of that? … .’ While I was thinking the same useless thoughts, a voice filled with anger resounded in front of me.
“Your Majesty is now trying to buy sacred education with money!”
“Sir, that’s a misunderstanding… … .”
“What a misunderstanding! You can get this gem… … Ugh!”
“Thank you for your concern, please tell me.”
“Ronald!”
Heinz, who was blown away by Ronald’s kick, rolled over on the floor and stopped. He looked at Ronald with an expression of incomprehension and shouted.
“As an educator, you can’t do this!”
“I’m sorry (stay still)… … .”
Heinz, awakened by Ronald’s fierce momentum, withdrew his anger and buried himself on the sofa with a sullen expression.
“Professor Lucas! Welcome to Grasco’s professor!”
uh… … One thing solved!

[A new notification has arrived.]
[jsjang0626 sponsored 1,000 gold.]
‘what? Are you close?’
I doubted my eyes and rubbed it once.
Three circles, not two.
It was definitely 1,000 gold.
The items in the gold shop that I had glanced at in my mind for a moment came to mind. Although the prices were horrendous, there were also items with reasonable prices.
‘There were also items that could be purchased with 1,000 gold.’
If you plan well, it will be possible to buy several useful items. To do that, you’ll have to look at the gold shop, but it’s not easy.
“This is the main auditorium. Most of the banquets are held here.”
It’s because of Vice-Chancellor Ronald, who self-proclaimed as a guide right next to him. Now I was moving under his guidance.
Whenever he was being hostile, he was doing something useless because he didn’t need it. Sheesh.
“From here on, this is the Aden Pavilion, which you will mainly attend.”
What the hell is this inspiration?
I still feel hostile towards me, but why am I putting myself through such troubles?
“Now I have no eyes to see. Say what you want to say.”
For this Ronald character that I have set, there is obviously a different purpose. That was my conclusion. If you have something to hide, please tell me sooner. I’m dizzy wanting to check out the gold shop.
“Great.”
Indeed, to see if I was right, Ronald opened his mouth with a friendly expression on his face.
“If you say that, let me go straight to the point. I accepted you as a professor, but it is my judgment that you cannot take on a heavy responsibility.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
What I wanted was Grasco’s professor title, not a major. Even if I go to the front for nothing, it won’t help. If that doesn’t work, you can take charge of the after-school class. So that I can pick only the ones I want.
“Huh, I really don’t know what you mean.”
… … Don’t you have anything like that?
“You should organize a lecture separate from the core of our Grasco. I’ll leave it up to you to make up a special staff.”
“Only take responsibility for the students I choose… … Is this the word?”
“Yes. I have never stopped doubting that you may have come to Grasco on the orders of your Highness. That’s what me and my faculty are most concerned about. But Your Majesty is holy, kuhm. I’m making this suggestion because I have to leave something to you for showing some sincerity. If you can’t accept it, I’ll suggest that there is no professor appointment.”
Good?
Is this the condition I want?
“Oh, and the selection is only for freshmen. I’ll give you an interview.”
“good.”
This answer came without hesitation.
Freshmen who will be admitted next year.
they’re real bastards
* * *
After breaking up with Ronald, I immediately moved to the house that was assigned to me.
Luggage arrived early and was neatly organized.
A private residence may be narrower than a mansion, but it was an excessively large space to live alone.
It was satisfactory.
Now, it’s time to take a look around the long-awaited gold shop.
‘Gold Shop.’
When I called the gold shop, I remembered that translucent window of courtesy.
When I set the search setting to 1,000 gold or less, 5 items came to mind.
-Basic fencing 900G
-Expression muscle (punggeun) 800G
-Full body hair removal (non-permanent) 500G
-Strengthening eyesight (Level 1) 300G
-Removal of bad breath (disposable) 200G

Maybe it was because I had high expectations? Disappointment preceded it. But I soon changed my mind.
‘The guy who was thirsty for support until a while ago, is now full. It is a valuable asset given by the reader. It must be put to good use.’
There are two options here. Buy it or save it
The answer is fixed.
‘Purchase basic swordsmanship.’
[1200G->300G]
First of all, if your name is a professor at the Grasco Battle Department, but you wield it clumsily, it’s useless. Whatever the case, the basics are important. So I bought the basic swordsmanship.
If the basic swordsmanship and the supernatural power of this body were added, it seemed that a plausible deception would be possible.
‘What’s left is 300 gold… … .’
Would it be better to save
All that’s left is things that look useless.
As I was about to turn off the gold shop, deciding to save it in case of any unforeseen circumstances, an item kept stumbling over my eyes.
-Strengthening eyesight (Level 1) 300G
The first stage, that strangely more likely to follow, was annoying, and the fact that the most useful thing when waking up with this body was my eyesight continued to catch my eye.

Moreover, as if they were aiming, the balance and price coincided.
‘Okay… … .’
After thinking for a while, I made a decision.
‘Buy Eyesight Enhancement.’
[300G->0G]
Bloody gold runs out-
Tung!
“Woo!”

My eyes became painful as if on fire. I couldn’t open my eyes, and intense pain took over my brain. The moment I regretted my purchase with a series of ‘fucked’.
Push-
Like a lie, the pain subsided, and his vision began to recover gradually.
And a new world opened up.
