The Engagement Was Broken Off and I Became a Munchkin

Chapter 31 Gate (4)

Anyway, Yandela continued her explanation with a clear face.

“Five of our students are in a group for the gate practice tomorrow. I am in a position to assist you to the end.”

I felt uneasy about his expression, but

It seemed that none of the other cadets felt the same way as I did.

No, rather… The girls in the Faculty of Magic were also listening to him with twinkling eyes.

‘I don’t think it’s a name.’

Honestly, how would you match a person you saw in 2D 20 years ago…

Still, before coming to the academy, I read through the notes I wrote when I was young.

Based on that information, there was no villain that matched Yandela in front of me.

‘Is it just because of my mood?’

I pushed my reluctance into it.

If my intuition is wrong, there will be no rudeness like this.

“Is this your first time going in and out of the gate here?”

“Me too.”

At his question, two female students from the Faculty of Magic raised their hands at the same time.

Both had brown hair, one wavy and slightly darker brown, the other shorter and lighter.

“Cadet Sofia, Cadet Maria.”

“Kyaa. How did you remember my name?”

“Of course. Were you impressed with the front seat in my class?”

I don’t know if I’m weird, but I can feel the way I talk.

No way. Do you manage fisheries?

“I am listening very intently to that teacher’s class. To be honest, I don’t think there is any professor in the Faculty of Magic who teaches as well as you in Legion.”

“Right. Besides, you know what? The first place in the popularity vote among the cadets is the teacher!”

Whether I thought so or not, the two girls from the Faculty of Magic praised Yandela in high pitched voices as to what was so good.

Um. That much?

I looked closely at Professor Yandela again.

‘Is there something that’s bothering me?’

I glanced at Erica, wondering if it was just me, and she didn’t particularly like or dislike Yandela.

The same goes for the rest of the male students.

If you see that only cadets in the Faculty of Magic are like that, I guess it’s fair to say that they teach classes really well.

“Then let me elaborate a bit for those two girls who have never been to the gate.”

“Be kind too!”

“It’s good to hear your voice.”

… I’m not even a sasaeng fan. What is this?

I understand that you can like a professor who looks clean at the age when you are just interested in dating, but I don’t think it’s too much.

Next to her, Erika also shakes her head, probably feeling the same way as me. Her eyes meet mine.

“…… “

Even without talking, I could tell that they were thinking the same thing just by looking at them.

Anyway.

What Professor Yandela did is mostly what I know.

Gate.

A catastrophe that has been spawning all over the world since 100 years ago.

There are several grades of gates, and they are divided from E rank to S rank according to the strength of the monsters that inhabit them.

E rank is so low in difficulty that even the weakest knight can clear it, but S rank is so difficult that victory cannot be guaranteed even if a large number of masters are put in.

Although there has only been one S-Rank gate created in over 100 years.

Yandela is quite knowledgeable, so there was some information that I didn’t know about what he was talking about.

But it wasn’t particularly important.

To summarize the main points,

The grade of the gate we will use this time is B rank.

The goal of a gate is to defeat the boss monster that lives inside it.

A large-scale gate with a wide limit on the number of entries.

Random start that falls in a random area upon entry.

Lastly, he said that the map could be reminiscent of the underground world.

The reason for knowing this information in advance is that the technology for observing the gate has advanced considerably.

“Do you understand?”

“Yes.”

The two female students from the Faculty of Magic also sang in chorus, and Yandela smiled and asked the same question to the cadets from the Knights Faculty, including me.

“Yes.”

First of all, I answered.

While thinking about why he felt uneasy.

Honestly, judging from the attitude he’s shown so far, I don’t see anything wrong with him.

On the contrary, if there was a problem with the two girls in the Faculty of Magic who made a fuss.

‘… It’s because I can’t just ignore the intuition again.’

Actually, I even heard that.

Maybe. I wonder if my subconscious is jealous of how popular I am with the female students.

“Okay, now let’s make a formation. Our Knight Faculty cadets… Yes, this is student Eugene. A freshman who entered at the top of his class this year?”

“Oh, yes.”

“Yeah. Seeing it in real life is definitely different. This year, Her Highness the Princess also entered the school, and it’s amazing! Student Eugene too!”

Pair-. Pair-. Pair-.

Then, out of nowhere, they clap their hands.

Of course, it’s not too much and it’s a light hand clap,

“?”

I couldn’t help but frown slightly.

“hahahaha. It looks like I offended Cadet Eugene with this. I’m sorry.”

“No. What… it’s okay.”

I am also apologizing for not being able to manage my facial expressions for a while because it is true that I did something wrong, so two female students from the Faculty of Magic glared at me.

Okay or not, Yandela continued.

“As for formation, let’s say the cadets from the Faculty of Knights stand in the front, followed by the rest of the cadets from the Faculty of Magic. How about this?”

I asked because it felt like an over-interference.

“Isn’t it true that the professor originally made all the formations for this? So what does practice mean… “

“Wait a minute. Are you blaming what the professor is saying?”

Maria or something cut me off and interrupted.

“It’s not a fault. Of course I’ll ask… “

“This is really rude.”

This time, a cadet named Sophia intervenes.

Erika, who was watching it quietly, helped with a word,

“Hey. Isn’t that rude? Even if I look at it objectively, it seems like a question Eugene could ask?”

“What? I haven’t finished talking to the professor yet, but you asked a question, right? Where the hell isn’t that rude?”

His voice rose.

“Don’t fight. Sophia, Maria. Thanks for thinking of me, but you think it’s a question I deserve to ask? So please calm down a little.”

“Ah… Yes, teacher.”

The cadets of the Faculty of Magic, who used to be irritable, became obedient as if they never got angry.

“…… “

“Cadet Eugene. Of course, it’s up to the cadets to decide how to build formations. I just wanted to give you some advice in case you need my help.”

That’s not wrong either.

As a leading professor, you can only give advice.

I didn’t ask with any antipathy either.

It was just a question because I really thought that it would be meaningful only when the cadets formed formation.

“I didn’t mean anything to the question either. I’ll take your advice, because it’s normal for a knight to stand in front. But where will the professor stand?”

“I prepare for a surprise attack from the enemy from behind. Don’t worry too much though. If a desperate crisis arises in front of you, I will protect you at all costs.”

It just means standing in the last place.

But at those words, the two undergraduate students of magic also began to scream awkwardly as they walked away.

Um.

I’ve been thinking about it, but maybe it’s because of my contemplation that I feel uncomfortable with Professor Yandela.

Looking at him objectively, he has a good-natured yet handsome face.

By the way, there are many swindlers with faces like this.

Maybe that’s why I feel uncomfortable with this person.

‘Anyway, there’s nothing wrong with being vigilant.’

Still, I didn’t worry too much.

Even if he had a bad heart, he was confident enough to subdue it as long as he was vigilant.

No matter how many 6th level wizards there were, the result would be the same.

“Okay then, I will go first. As long as you are in the same group, you will need time to promote friendship with each other. Then, let’s meet in front of the magic circle at the set time tomorrow.”

After those words, Yandela left first.

Still, I partially agreed with what he said, so it was time to introduce each other.

After all, it’s important to cooperate with gate practice.

“I am Eugene Taranhil from the Faculty of Engineering. It’s a short time, but let’s do it well.”

The male cadet, who was silent at my greeting, answered.

“This is Han Yu-chan from the Engineering Department. I am from the eastern part of the Empire.”

The Empire boasts a fairly vast territory.

That’s why it included quite a variety of races and names.

Han Yoo-chan’s name was familiar to me.

“This is Erica. Erica Ashley. She is the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Ashley.”

The Marquis of Ashley is a marquis located in the center of the Empire.

A family famous for its politics rather than its knights.

Apart from that, Erica’s skills are excellent.

Her academy entrance grade was also the top of the list at 8th.

Our eyes naturally focused on the rest of the Magic Faculty cadets.

“First of all, I need to apologize before I say hello. You… Eugene. I apologize for being rude to the professor earlier.”

“?”

I was taken aback when the light brown haired cadet said that.

I wish I had all these kids.

I wondered if he was sane.

“Hey. The professor said it was okay, but why are you talking about me? I should accept the apology.”

“What?”

“Why don’t you know the degree because you’re holding back without saying anything? When you say nice things, do it in moderation.”
