I got a fake job at the academy C5: Cold Steel
I saw the sight of knights in pure white armor running on the snow and jumping on the train one by one. They are powerful enough to catch up with a running horse on two legs and crush rocks with their leg strength.
They were the knights in charge of the most rugged section of the Exilion Empire.
"Aaaah!"
"The Empire's Border Guard! Everyone run away!"
"Help me!"
The terrorist's screams echoed everywhere, they stood no chance against the border guards.
* * *
'Is it over?'
The Cold Steel Knights under the Border Guard Corps.
It may not seem like a big deal just by hearing the name, but as it is made up of those who work in this rugged and cold Arete Mountains, meaning that every member is an elite.
I returned to room 403, which was still intact and stumped in my seat. The inside of the train was full of cuts and marks that remained from the fierce battle.
Fortunately, a defensive magic circle was engraved on them; if it had been an ordinary train, it would have already derailed and fell down the cliff.
"We have subjugated all the thieves, so please rest assured. The train will arrive soon, so please wait for a while."
Knights were seen walking around the inside of the train, calming the survivors. In fact, even if they were survivors, they were all first-class people who were protected in the safest place.
It was hard to find survivors except for the 1st cabin, everyone else was practically annihilated.
It was unfortunate even considering the small number of people on the train.
'I'm glad they got rid of all the terrorists though.'
All those who attacked the train were killed by the knights. For bringing so many wizards, it was truly a vain result.
'Ah. I'm the one who killed the wizards.'
Now is not the time for me to worry about that.
Soon the train will arrive at its destination. As it passed the mountain range covered in pure white snow, fresh vegetation began to appear sporadically. The icy mountain range disappeared and was replaced by a wide plain.
What was visible beyond the horizon was Leathervelk, one of the major cities of the Exilion Empire.
'Big.'
Even though it is far away, the majesty of the city is enough to be seen at a glance. Buildings soaring high like towers towards the sky, factory chimneys constantly spewing white smoke and even large flying boats fluttering among the clouds dyed with light.
Mechanical boats made of windmills and brass are lined up above the river that runs through the city, and steamships move quickly between them.
Magical engineering created by combining advanced mechanical engineering with magic. The civilization it has achieved is very similar to the so-called 'Steam Punk'.
'Now that I'm here, it's not really surprising.'
Still, I couldn't erase the strange feeling that the sense of disparity created by the memories of my previous life disappeared.
I died in an accident in my previous life, and when I woke up, I was shocked to find out that I was reborn as a baby in this world but that was already 27 years ago.
The years have gone by so quickly.
This world is a unique world of the Victorian era and what is commonly called the Belle Époque, where magic, sub-races and monsters exist.
I don't know if it's because I've entered the world of a game or a novel I liked...This is a different world that doesn't even exist in my memory, literally without any connection.
"Are you okay?"
Someone spoke to me as I sat still and stared at the approaching destination. When I turned my head, I noticed neat black hair at the entrance to the half-broken room. Was it the woman who saved me?
She was looking at this with worried eyes.
"Was it possible that some kind of harm was done to you by the terrorists a while ago?"
I immediately shook my head.
"No. Thanks to the knights' help nothing happened to me. I was just thinking about something."
"Ah. If so, I'm glad."
It was like a rose blossomed when she smiled.
She was quite a beauty, pure white skin and white armor without blemishes. Contrasting black hair further accentuated her strong image. She is a good person with no ambiguity in her personality. Otherwise she wouldn't have been worried for someone like me.
Being a member of the Cold Steel Knights at such a young age means she is a genius. I felt like I was living in a different world.
"My name is Veronica Deville. What about you?"
Deville.
I've heard of it. It's said to be a prestigious company that produced many famous knights in the empire.
"I am..."
Paaaaang—!!!
As I was about to say my name, the train blew his horn to signal its arrival.
I shut my mouth, and Veronica turned her head to look outside.
"We have finally arrived at Leathervelk."
The train, which slowed down slowly, came to a complete stop at the train station.
The station seen through the window was crowded with people. It seems that people had come to take a look after hearing the news that the train had been attacked. When they saw the appearance of the broken train, they started talking among themselves.
The police stepped forward and built a wall to prevent people from approaching, and there were also reporters trying to get a scoop through the cracks.
Like a big city, Leathervelk was crowded from the start.
"There are so many people. It seems that the news has already spread."
"It doesn't matter."
Because it has nothing to do with me anyway.
If there is one thing I regret now, it's that this train, which was originally supposed to go to the capital, had to stop at Leathervelk due to the attack. However, there was no way to get a refund for the tickets I had already paid, so I had no choice but to get off here.
Swoosh.
At that moment, the closed door swung open and police officers in uniform rushed in.
What happened all of a sudden?
"Passengers, please do not leave and wait in your seat. I have something to check."
"What is this?"
When Veronica asked, one of the cops asked.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Veronica from the Cold Steel Knights. I'd like to ask how the hell this happened."
"Ah, you were a Knight of the Cold Steel Knights. Nice to meet you, I am Officer Remlus from the Leathervelk Metropolitan Police Agency."
"Yes, Officer Remlus, nice to meet you. So what is this?"
"I heard the train was attacked in the Arete mountains."
"Yes, that is correct. We took care of all the raiders."
"Thank you for your hard work but there's something suspicious in the report we received."
"Suspicious"
At those words, I became anxious, but then something caught my eye.
"Even though there were wizards among the raiders, there was no way that a magic train protected by magic would be so easily attacked."
"Yes."
"It is clear that there was someone from the inside involved as well."
"That…"
Veronica's eyes widened in surprise but she nodded her head and agreed with the officer's words.
His assumption was correct, I actually ran into a guy who disguised himself as a train employee and dispelled the magical veil from the inside. It made it easy for the terrorists to get into the train, and the passengers inside were killed.
"Some of the survivors might be working with the terrorists so we're just trying to verify their identities. Don't worry too much. Those whose identities have been verified will be sent back immediately."
"I see."
Veronica said and looked back at this side with a smile. Her smile was full of relief, but a cold sweat ran down my back.
They're verifying identities but my mask is gone. I gently stroked my face with my fingertips.
'This is a big deal…!'
I was on this train as a wealthy merchant in his mid-40s named Gerard. Naturally, a person named Gerard would be listed on the list of passengers. That's fine, but the problem is my face right now.
How can this face without a beard or wrinkles belong to someone in their mid-forties?
'… What should I do?'
I did not lead the terrorist attack and I was a passenger who was unfairly involved, but I couldn't be proud of it either.
Gerard is a fake identity to hide my identity and fake identity is a felony in any country.
If I'm lucky enough I might be hanged, but there's a high possibility that I would be subjected to severe torture since I'm suspected of terrorism. If I was a normal person there would be no need to change my identity.
Should I run away?
'No.'
Now, there are Cold Steel Knights on this train, and even the Imperial soldiers are spread outside the train just in case. The moment I try to run away from here, I'll be dead in less than a minute.
Running away is the worst option. But if I stand still, my identity will be revealed.
I tried not to show my anxiety.
Meanwhile, the police brought documents and were trying to compare them with the people in the train.
I was asked.
"In what room were you staying?"
"Number 403, here's my ticket."
I calmly took out a train ticket from my inner pocket and showed it to the officer. After confirming that the ticket was not a fake, he shuffled through the documents immediately.
…"403, here it is. Two guests stayed in the room. Rudger Chelici, a man in his mid 20's and Gerard, a man in his 40s."
Then he lifts his head and glances at me. It was like asking why you are alone when there are two of you.
"Why are you alone?"
"Gerard was swept away by an explosion during and fell down a remote cliff in the Arete Mountains."
He fell down the cliff of that rugged mountain range, so even his body would not be found.
My words made the police even more suspicious. I clenched my fists, and desperately kept my expressionless face.
If I go on like this I'll be caught. But that doesn't mean there's no way out of this situation.
'Escape? It's impossible in the first place.'
And another problem is Veronica, the woman with a fluttering white cloak in front of me. She is the woman who, not long ago, had split in half a terrorist.
She had no hesitation in killing people.
She's smiling at me now, but when it turns out that I'm suspicious, she'll be the first to draw her sword. Considering her ability to join the Cold Steel Knights at a young age, she must be much more intimidating than the police outside the train.
All sorts of thoughts were swirling around in my head.
Veronica, who had been silently watching the situation, stepped forward.
"Wait. He was not a suspect in the first place."
"Yes?"
"Because he was fighting terrorists before our Cold Steel Knights arrived. I saw it with my own two eyes."
"Did you fight?"
The officer mumbled in disbelief and looked over the list again. Then he nodded his head as if he had understood something, and looked back at me with a changed face.
"Then it means that Mr. Rudger Chelici is alive, and Mr. Gerard died in the explosion."
…uh?
No wait. What now?
The face of the officer, who was checking the list more closely, was astonished.
"Huh? You are a new teacher who has been assigned to the Theon Academy?!"
"Theon teacher? Really?"
At the cry of Officer Remlus, Veronica also widened her eyes.
Watching the two people's reactions, like a scene from a comedy, I realized how things were going. It was really unbelievable, but...They believed I was Rudger. It was so sudden, but I made a quick decision.
I immediately regained my composure and nodded.
"Yes. That's right."
I picked up the suitcase that Rudger had dropped before he died. It was a good idea to have it ready in advance, just in case.
"I am Rudger Chelici."

I got a fake job at the academy C6: False Identity (1)
Photography is not yet popular in this world. Most of the photos exist only in black and white and the quality is not very good, so detailed comparison is impossible.
When comparing people, in the end, they have no choice but to rely on clothes, age, and overall physique. It was not unreasonable that they were mistaken.
'I'm sorry. Mr. Rudger.'
It's a pity for the dead, but that doesn't mean I can die too, right? The living must live.
Rudger's status was very helpful in escaping this situation.
"Unbelievable. You were a new teacher at Theon Academy. The magic I saw back then..…"
The moment the name Theon appeared, Veronica's voice toward me changed.
Did she see me using magic? Maybe that's why I gained her trust even more.
Even the officer who was half-doubting me and who was about to interrogate me immediately nodded his head.
"Please forgive me for being rude because of the circumstances."
"It's fine."
Even as I said that, I thought to myself that the name Theon was really great.
The only magic academy that exists in the Empire, and even on the continent, the best academy is Theon.
The name 'Theon' was never taken lightly, and it was natural for them to be surprised when they heard that I was a teacher there.
"You're a Theon teacher."
"At such a young age, that's great."
The other guards and the police also whispered among themselves.
Whatever happened, I decided to act more shamelessly. From this moment, I will become Rudger Chelici.
"I, we will guide you to the exit."
"Fine."
"You are one of those who will nurture the future of the empire, how could we let it go? You were wasting your time because of us."
"It's fine."
"It is because we are sorry."
No, moving with you guys is inconvenient!
I couldn't say those words, so I accepted with a blunt face.
"Ms. Veronica, it was a short meeting, but it was nice."
It was a short meeting, but I don't think it was bad. She smiled and waved her hand at me, perhaps thinking the same thing.
"Yes, Mr. Rudger! See you later if you have time!"
"Yes."
I'm sorry, but I don't think we'll see each other again in the future.
Guided by the guards, I was able to safely escape the crowd to the exit of the train station. It was a train station with a lot of people coming and going, so the exit was also crowded with people.
I opened my mouth thinking that this was it.
"It is enough to have come this far. From here on, I will move on my own. More than that, I feel burdened."
"Ah yes!"
The guard saluted me and then disappeared back into the station.
I greeted him with a light bow, and let out a sigh.
Seriously, it would have been a big mess. I'm glad the other side misunderstood me for a moment, otherwise, my fake identity would have been exposed and I would have been accused of being an accomplice in terrorism.
Now that the emergency is over, I'll be fine.
"Are you Mr. Rudger Chelici?"
At that moment, I could feel my blood freezing coldly at the sound of a voice coming from behind me.
When I slowly turned my head to look back, I saw an old gentleman with a rather stern posture looking at me.
I calmed my startled heart and answered calmly.
"Yes. That's right. Who are you?"
"Hello. My name is Wilford, a user of Theon Academy. I came to meet Mr. Rudger."
"… Do you mean pick up? Me?"
"Yes. I heard that the train was attacked. I came to see you in a hurry to see if something had happened, but I'm really glad that you seem to be okay."
Wilford said so, and he opened the door of the carriage next to him.
"Get in."
"..."
I rolled my eyes. Can I say that I'm the wrong person?
I don't know when that old man named Wilford got here but I'm sure he saw me with the officer. It is practically impossible to pretend that I'm someone else and refuse. Above all else, there was no sign of presence when he first appeared, this man is no ordinary user.
"…Yes."
I had no choice but to get into the carriage.
* * *
Veronica, the deputy commander of the Knights of Cold Steel, remembered the departed Rudger.
'Rudger Chelici.'
From the first time I saw him, I thought he was unusual because I saw him sweeping away all terrorists with pure white flames.
The other knights might not have been able to see well because they were far away, but she was confident that she had better eyesight than the general.
In a situation where he was outnumbered Rudger defeated the opposing wizards easily.
'He's not an ordinary person.'
A simple yet gorgeous black frock coat with a neat suit and golden thread over it, a reticent impression and serious eyes, the long hair slightly pulled back, from the nape of the neck into a ponytail.
Looking closely he seemed like a nobleman with a sharp impression but above all, what stimulated her nerves the most was the spirit that subtly emanated from Rudger.
'At first I thought it was a royal family member who hid his identity.'
The elegance that emanated from Rudger was similar to what Veronica felt when she faced the nobles in the imperial court. So when she was told that Rudger was going to be a teacher at the Theon Academy, she was convinced of his identity.
No, she even thought that even the huge name of Theon would not be a medal for this man. No one marvels at fish swimming well and birds flying through the sky. The same was true for Rudger's position as Theon.
Her strong sense of déjà vu became certain when she heard his name.
'Rudger Chelici, a young wizard with a lot of fame recently. He was the youngest to achieve the fourth rank, submitted 12 papers to the Mato, and even redefined one of the most difficult things: Langerister's formula.'
Other than that, I heard that he had a history of serving as an officer in the military, and it is said that he majored in cryptid hunting.
'My younger brother is attending Thorn. I'll have to ask him how are the classes he's teaching.'
* * *
My plan to run away as soon as I left the train station was thwarted from the start. I didn't expect the academy would send someone directly to pick me up here. I thought it was too much of an exaggeration, but the fact that it was the Theon Academy convinced me again.
If you are a teacher assigned to the best academy in the empire, you will be welcomed wherever you go. Hearing that such high-quality manpower was involved in the terrorist attack, Theon must have been worried.
'It's a big deal.'
I looked inside the carriage.
A soft red chair and colorful patterns around it. No matter how I look at it, it was a carriage that could only be thought of as luxurious. There is almost no vibration even when it's going so fast.
Leading this black chariot was a golem in the form of a steaming horse. It was simply amazing to see this vehicle, one of the latest magical engineering results, made with a half-mix of machine and magic.
Knights don't get old easily just because they age. Rather, the old knights are more dangerous because they have superhuman bodies and years of experience.
'If I try to leave here with an excuse, he'll get suspicious. I can't run away secretly, and even if I succeed, I'll be tracked down as soon as a report comes in.'
A number of other problems arose.
First of all, it is about the identity of Gerard that I used to use. Since this fake identity was effectively treated as dead, it was necessary to create a new identity and that would require a lot of time and money.
Usually I would find a place to stay until I gather information and create a new identity since having lost my existing identity, means I am an illegal immigrant. The absence of an identity is no different from the absence of human rights.
After considering all these possibilities, I decided to give up running away for now.
'For now, I'll not do anything that will make me suspicious.'
First, let's go to Theon Academy. It wouldn't be a bad idea to think about the future there.
When the speed of the fast-moving carriage slowed down, I had a gut feeling that I had finally arrived at the Theon Academy.
As if to prove that, the carriage's front window swung open to the side, and Wilford spoke up.
"Mr. Rudger, we're here."
At Wilford's words, I glanced at the scenery outside the window. The first thing I saw was a grand gate and beyond that was a vast expanse of land. The road for carriages was paved neatly and green trees were evenly planted to the left and right, adding to the refined beauty.
In the dazzling sunlight, the buildings of the Theon Academy shone white.
'Are those the main building, the villa, the park, and the auditorium?'
Apart from the fact that each one was large in scale, it was not possible to estimate exactly how wide the site was.
'Isn't this bigger than any other city?'
The security guard at the front gate opened it immediately and bowed lightly toward us.
Passing through the front door, I could see how much magic was engraved in the vicinity. The number of magic circles stacked on top of each other was so great that the original shape could not be seen.
'Crazy.'
There won't be any big guys coming through the front gate, but if there's really a guy like that, it will turn to dust and disappear in a second.
The place where the steel horse leading the carriage stopped was a building further inside than the main building. Soaring high like a crown, it was truly a magnificent castle.
"It's here. Get off."
As I was about to get my bag, Wilford stopped me.
"We'll come back, so you don't have to carry your luggage with you."
"…Yes."
I got out of the carriage and followed Wilford past the fountain and the beautiful statues into the building. The inside was just as spectacular as the outside.
The light from the glass window spreads like a soft reflection inside, creating a warm color and gently wrapping the skin. A fragrant smell from somewhere tickles my nose, and I hear the chirping of birds. It felt like a dream.
The interior has a refined and neat design, looking like the beautiful architecture of medieval Europe. If the adjacent city Leathervelk has a steampunk atmosphere full of steam, this one is much more focused on fantasy.
-Hahaha.
– Baby, don't do it.
As I went up the stairs along Wilford, users and students in academy uniforms passed me by. Every time they do that, I can hear them having a conversation behind me, so I guess they're gossiping because I look like a country peasant, right?
Eventually, I arrived in front of a large elevator.
"Come this way."
I boarded the elevator with Wilford. I thought it was high from the outside, but seeing it was almost 30 stories high, I was surprised once again.
When the elevator arrived and the door opened, there was a long hallway covered with red carpet and a single door made of wood at the end.
"The President is inside. I will be waiting here."
"Thanks for the guidance."
"It's my job."
I crossed the hallway and stood in front of the door to the president's office. Just as I raised my hand to knock on the door, I heard a languid yet alluring voice from inside.
"Come in."
"..."
I opened the door and went inside.
"Nice to meet you."
A woman sitting at her desk with her back against the window greeted me.
Considering that she has to be a lexer who is at least a 6th rank among the existing 8th ranks to be able to sit in this position, she is an undisputed first-class wizard.
She had just been organizing papers, and was holding a fountain pen in her right hand, put it down aloud and stared at me. Her white hair, flowing down like a curtain, shines even more dazzlingly in the light of the glass window behind her. The hair on the outside is white, but the inside is a two-tone hair that is subtly tinged with pink.
'What.'
The moment her golden eyes turned towards me, I felt an indescribable feeling.
I said in a hard voice, trying to ignore the strange sensation.
"This is Rudger Chelici. The president has called me."
First of all, I am now Rudger Chelici.

I got a fake job at the academy C7: False Identity (2)
Merry Christmas everyone and sorry for the late release.
The principal greeted me with a bright smile.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Rudger. Are you alright? I was told that you were involved in a terrorist incident."
"It was nothing special. I got help from the Cold Steel Knights at a dangerous moment."
"That's really nice. I was pretty terrified too. You're a new teacher I've been looking for with a lot of effort, but I was wondering what to do if you got hurt. If that happens, our face won't stand up, right?"
Seeing her openly commenting on the school face, she certainly doesn't seem like an ordinary person.
Everyone who has ascended to a high position is bound to be twisted somewhere, especially if you're a member of a wizard's family.
My master was the same and so it's this woman in front of me. It wasn't too surprising.
"Are you not feeling well?"
Seeing the president staring at me with a soft smile in her eyes, I wondered if she realized something. Come to think of it, has the Chancellor ever met Rudger before?
As anxious thoughts passed by, her voice awakened my thoughts.
This is the first time I've seen you in person, but you're pretty tall."
Fortunately, it seemed that this was the first time that 'Rudger' had actually met the president.
I answered with a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for the compliment, even if it's empty words."
"Nope, it's not empty words. The students' reaction to such a handsome teacher will be positive, right?"
"It's overrated."
"Okay, take this first."
The president handed me a piece of paper.
"It was announced in advance, but it's good to have a thorough contract. The contract period is 2 years and the pay is as written there. Food and drink are provided automatically, so be aware."
I accepted the contract and looked at the contents carefully.
Anyway, the moment the preliminary status came out, I was going to throw it away and leave, so I didn't take it too seriously until I read it.
'Uh, what is it? Wait a minute.'
What was written in the contract was so surprising that it made my eyes widen.
'A month's salary is 30 imperial gold coins?'
One imperial gold coin is equivalent to 1 million denars in the continent's common currency, 'denar'.
In other words, 30 imperial gold coins means 30 million denars, this was a huge sum of nearly 300 million won on Earth in my previous life.
At this point, I had no doubt about the power of Theon academy.
It was the best magic academy in the empire. Even in the district where I lived, the annual salary of a lecturer at Gangnam Academy was not even 10 billion won.
'And there is a bonus for each semester, and another bonus at the end of the year? Is it even possible to increase pay based on performance? If students' evaluations of faculty and staff are good, the salary will increase?'
If the teacher does really well and gets good evaluations then together with the bonuses the annual salary will become over 500 million denars.
The contract period is two years, and in total, more than 1 billion denars. With this money, I could go anywhere and make a living. I could even do a side job if I get a permit.
'Gulp.'
I swallowed saliva without realizing it.
It's amazing that the salary is like this, but the subsidy when conducting classes is huge. Even more subsidies may come out depending on teacher evaluation.
In addition to that, I can find a house separately and eat here, so I don't have to spend money on anything else.
'If I survive for two years, I would get 1 billion denars. In terms of Earth money, that's a whopping 10 billion won at a minimum. If I do well, I can even increase my salary, and I can also extend it after the contract is over.'
This contract was crazy. Is this the best academy in the empire?
The life I've lived so far…
"How is it?"
"...Not bad."
This is awesome.
I took a deep breath and read the contract again. But there was a fundamental problem.
'It is true that Theon is great enough to give me this amount of money, but at the same time, I also have a considerable sense of weight as a teacher.'
Will I be able to bear the seat?
In this place where geniuses were thriving would I be able to work properly as a teacher?
'No way. It would be rather a miracle that my lowliness didn't show up in one day.'
Still, I'm confident in my mouth and bluffing ability, because I grew up in an environment where I could die if I didn't.
I quickly shook my head and analyzed the situation.
'The salary alone is attractive, but it is burdensome. I can't refuse because I've already come this far. Rudger has already become a teacher here and I became Rudger Chelici.'
Can I say no in this situation in the first place?
My appointment as a teacher has already been confirmed, and I can't suddenly say that I won't do it now or else people would get suspicious.
In fact, the answer I had to give was already decided.
'I have no choice but to do it.'
I have now made up my mind on how to use Rudger Chelici identity.
'Just close your eyes and survive here for two years.'
In two years, this life could be over, they would give me a lot of money and I would be free to leave, so isn't this better than the military?
Thinking that way made me feel at ease.
I handed the contract to the president and opened my mouth.
"I checked everything."
"Then I wish you all the best in the future. Mr. Rudger."
"Yes. I will leave it up to you president."
I shook hands with the president who smiled towards me.
I was very happy but I tried my best to maintain my expressionless face.
* * *
After meeting with the president, I followed the guidance of Mr. Wilford, who was waiting outside, and headed to my assigned dormitory.
Should they really call it Theon Academy?
Even the teacher-only building on the site looks expensive.
I couldn't believe that the two-story house I saw in a fairy tale was my home.
"There are still three weeks left until the start of the class, so you can rest until then."
After saying those words, Mr. Wilford led the carriage again and disappeared. He did not forget his modest attitude even when he left. He was truly a model gentleman.
'Shall I go?'
Packing my suitcase, I entered the house. I saw it from the outside, but when I went inside, it felt very different. The furniture was also equipped with all sorts of things, and there was no dust to be seen due to regular maintenance.
I checked the bathroom just in case, and was surprised again. The bathroom was filled with pure white tiles and looked like something aristocrats would use. There is water and even a bathtub where I can take a bubble bath.
After checking every corner of the house, I sat down on a soft sofa.
'From now on, I will be an academy teacher...'
So many things happened today.
I was unintentionally involved in a terrorist attack, mistaken for someone else, and even came to the Theon Academy to work as a teacher.
It's just a wonder how the heck it came to be like this, but since I've come this far, I can't escape.
If I suddenly disappear my Rudger identity will be under suspicion and I'll have no place in the Empire since my real face was seen.
In the end, I had no choice but to act as Rudger Chelsea.
"Whoa. It's hard."
It has been 27 years since I came to this world.
I was reincarnated in this world with no special abilities and only memories of my previous life. However, the existence of my parents in the present life was so daunting that in the end, I had to survive on my own.
My life was strange and I had to overcome crises of death several times while getting caught up in all kinds of events.
For me, the current situation is just embarrassing. How did I end up as an academy teacher? And even at the best academy in the Empire.
'This is actually a fake job.'
I wasn't even aiming for it, but that doesn't mean I can stop now.
The moment I get out of here, I'll be eaten by a tiger. That was my situation now.
'Okay 2 years. I only have to survive 2 years. That's enough.'
I also needed a new identity so in this situation being Rudger was very attractive. Rudger Chelici is a man who crossed over to the Empire from a distant land. Here he will never run into anyone who knows him.
I decided to find out a little more about the person called Rudger, just in case.
I grabbed the suitcase and climbed into the bedroom on the second floor. When I entered the room, I put the curtains on the window and looked carefully inside the room to check for any unexpected external surveillance.
'Nothing caught.'
I opened the suitcase right away because I thought it was okay now.
'Rattle.'
"Hmm?"
Is it locked?
I carefully checked the suitcase made of leather. Upon closer inspection, a fine magic circle was engraved on the metal lock.
'This...It's security magic.'
Although the scale is not large, it was a magic circle with a high level of difficulty, which requires detailed mana management, to be engraved in this place.
'Is this because he's a teacher assigned to the Theon Academy?'
Stepping away from the suitcase, I pondered how to do this. It wasn't that I gave up, it was to devise a way to open it.
'It would be convenient if there was a reagent, but the existing luggage has been mailed in advance, so I have no choice but to use another method.'
I took a towel and wet it with water in moderation. Having set aside the wet towel, I grabbed a stick and started a small fire at the end.
I used "Pyro," which could be said to be a basic elemental magic. It is only about the size of a lighter flame, but its heat is considerable.
I brought the fire from the end of the stick to the clasp of the suitcase. The scorching heat began to heat the brass. A few minutes later, as the brass heats up and turns red, I grab the wet towel.
The heated metal cooled rapidly with the sound of water evaporating. Instantly, the lock was twisted, and the magic circle engraved on it was also twisted.
Of course, doing this doesn't make the magic circle's effect disappear. Because magic isn't that easy.
'But I can make a momentary gap in a strong wall.'
Without missing the moment, I shot my magic sharply and pierced the center of the magic circle, an important part that can be called 'core' in the magic circle.
'Paching!'
'Done.'
When it was destroyed, the effect of the magic circle disappeared. At the same time, the lock opened with a click sound.
'Opening this was a piece of cake.'
It is not uncommon to have a magic circle or barrier engraved on a suitcase like this. Most wizards are very sensitive to security, so security magic is close to basic knowledge.
If you can't open it yourself, you can even ask an acquaintance or a professional engraving company.
If someone tries to forcibly remove the security magic, discarding of the contents is activated. It was a demonstration of the extreme ideology unique to wizards that they would rather destroy their data than have it revealed.
However, in order to safely disarm the security magic, it is necessary to analyze the magic to see how it is implemented. Naturally, the process took a very long time, and I couldn't afford to do that.
So this method was chosen. A method close to trickery that does not require analysis of magic.
'It is enough to know where the magic circle was engraved and its material.'
Usually, strong metal is the mainstay for engraving such a magic circle because it can't be engraved all over the leather bag.
Leather is a very poor medium for transmitting magic power, the same goes for fabric and paper. With the exception of parchment made by peeling the bark of hemp, it was impossible to engrave a magic circle or barrier on cloth or paper unless it was an Arch Mage of at least 6th rank.
Conversely, it is metal that has a fairly good conductivity of magic. The most popular are iron and brass. Better materials are silver, gold, and platinum.
The best thing is a gem made by crafting a raw stone, but since the material itself is so expensive, it is not used unless you are a high-ranking nobleman.
Of course, cheap iron or brass is the most popular, and I was fully familiar with the properties of both materials.
Heating and expanding the metal engraved with the magic circle, then cooling it with cold water quickly to shrink it again. The magic circle engraved on the metal will be misaligned and twisted in the process of expansion and contraction of the metal.
Even if there is a deviation like this, the magic circle will try to recover automatically in a line so it's not a big problem. However, the gap that is created is very fatal. At that moment I used my magic power and destroyed the magic circle core.
'I'm glad it went well.'
Well, it's not a commonly known method, it's just a trick made by appropriately applying scientific knowledge.
Most of the wizards are people who are hung up on history and tradition, so they often overlook science. As a result, there were many cases where they did not prepare for, and that was what this company was hoping for.
'If he was a real madman, he would have carried an iron case covered with magic circles.'
Fortunately, Rudger Chelici wasn't that far off.
I opened the suitcase and checked the contents of what was inside.
'Hmm, this…'

I got a fake job at the academy C8: False Identity (3)
There wasn't anything in Rudger's suitcase that could cause an eye-opener, just a change of clothes and books. Other than that, a lot of paperwork and miscellaneous things.
'I thought there would be something bigger.'
I grouped the textbooks, magic books, and thesis together and set them aside, and also sorted out the clothes and put them away.
In the case of books, there were many other things such as popular novels and essays by famous scientists in addition to magic books.
I've read all sorts of miscellaneous things. Other than that, a few letters, identification, and personal belongings are all things.
Even tools are just a pocket watch or a small pipe to be used as a magic medium and a wallet with money.
I immediately checked the ID and documents one by one.
'Rudger Chelici, a descendant of the fallen nobles of Queoden, a small to medium-sized kingdom in the northern continent. He has no siblings and both of his parents are dead.'
It's not bad.
He is a fallen aristocrat, but he nominally holds the title of nobility, so he will not be greatly disregarded wherever he goes, and since he has no family, no one will recognize me.
His history is incredibly splendid. He submitted 12 papers to the Mattapan, and he was the youngest person to reach the 4th rank? He even became a military officer?'
No wonder he became a teacher at Theon.
At such a young age, his record is already very impressive.
'Is the subject he would've teached magic manifestation and specialization? Mana emission and elemental elements are the main things.'
Considering that he specializes in apparitions, there is a high probability that he will teach actual combat in the subject.
I opened the letters and looked at the contents. If there was a conversation he had with an acquaintance, I had to catch his small habits and learn them.
'The content of the letter is irrelevant.'
The letters, presumed to have been exchanged with acquaintances, consisted of formal conversations such as the soon to be assigned to the academy, what books he liked, and where and what happened.
Even when he was in the military, I don't think he had any close friends.
Given that there is very little personal content, he didn't seem to be particularly close with the person he was writing to.
'Now all that's left it's...'
It is information about the basic content of classes to teach students after the start of the semester, and how the Theon Academy was formed and operated.
First of all, it was necessary to go around and learn about the topography of Theon.
'Gurgling.'
As I was about to go outside right away, I had to stop at the roaring sound of my stomach. Come to think of it, I haven't eaten anything since today's train.
I am mentally exhausted because I have so much work to do today. Let's eat rice first and rest well today.
* * *
Two weeks have passed since then.
In the meantime, I went to every nook and cranny of Theon Academy to learn about the geography of this place. As expected at first glance, the site of the Theon Academy was truly unimaginable.
I sat on an outdoor bench in a secluded cafe and watched the peaceful scenery. I've just finished checking everything out, and now I'm just thinking about the classes I would have to teach.
'Is it because the opening time is approaching? I see students often.'
Students in Theon Academy uniforms were seen walking around. The uniform design is cool for men and pretty for girls. Did I mention that it was a uniform made by a famous designer in the empire?
Perhaps it was because it was an academy that taught magic, some of them flew on broomsticks or moved on strange mechanical dolls. Seeing young people laughing and talking to each other, I thought they had a good time.
Since I came to this world, every day has been a fierce battle, but these children are living a blessed life thanks to their innate talents and circumstances.
"Hmm."
Two female students passing by this way glanced at me and started whispering to each other. Since I'm someone they don't usually see it's normal for them to be suspicious.
I was sipping coffee because I noticed them. After drinking it all, I have to go back to the dorm and prepare for the orientation that will be held in a week.
With that in mind, I drank all the coffee and was about to get up, when a woman came and sat down at the table next to me and spoke in a voice so low that only I could hear her.
"I'm glad you're safe," she said. Why haven't you contacted me for two weeks?"
"...?"
My instinctive intuition stopped my head as I was about to look at her without realizing it.
──Chin.
I naturally put the finished glass on the table.
"...."
Are you talking to me now?
I looked around. Maybe it wasn't me, but someone else, and if I reacted here, what could be more embarrassing than that? But no matter how much I look, there are no other people around.
The only ones sitting at the outdoor table were me and the woman at the table next to me.
That means that this person is talking to me now. How should I respond?
As I continued to remain silent, she continued.
"I was worried about whether there was something wrong with you. Other members are also wondering what happened to the First Order."
"… … ."
Member.
First Order.
Someone who cares about me.
* * *
'What.'
I fiddled with the handle of the coffee cup in my hand.
I was just drinking coffee enjoying the wind at an outdoor table in a cafe, but suddenly a strange woman came up and talked to me.
However, the words she said to me are very serious. She said the other members are wondering what happened to me.
—No. Not me, but a person named Rudger Chelici.
The moment I judged the situation, my mouth moved naturally as if it had been greased.
"There were a few things to check."
"Is it about this terrorist attack? It was just an accident. After all, no one knew that the rebels would attack the train on which First Order-sama was on."
"Everything else. Rough information about Theon."
"Didn't you have the information you received in advance?"
"That alone is not enough. There is a big difference between hearing and seeing."
"Yeah, that's right."
The woman nodded her head as if she understood something.
"Did you do well?"
"Yes, of course. Completed all Assassinations of Academy Members before entering here. Most of them were users."
What? Assassinate the Academy Members?
My body almost shook but I managed to hold it in.
"And in the meanwhile, a traitor in the organization was discovered and we dealt with him as well."
What? Traitor? Dealt with him?
Unknowingly, I swallowed my saliva at the word traitor.
I asked without showing my embarrassment.
"How did you do it?"
"I pulled out a limb, grinded it, and stuffed it into his mouth. The rest of the body was said to have been fed to wild dogs. I haven't seen it myself, but I've heard of it from other members. It could be said that it was a death worthy of a traitor."
"...."
They were crazier than I thought but the more I was in this situation, the calmer my mind became.
"I'm sorry. I should have listened and reported...!"
"Why did you suddenly come to me now?"
"First order came in here, but there hasn't been any news for the past fortnight…"
"So, at this crucial moment right now?"
I analyzed as I spoke.
They called me First Order, not Rudger. Looking at the First in front of the name, there is a high possibility that it is a fairly high position within the organization.
I believed in that and tried to brag a little, and I think that was the correct answer.
"Sorry!"
I responded with a cold voice to the woman who seemed to be bowing her head straight toward this side.
"Be quiet. Do you want to win the suspicion of those around you?"
"Sorry...."
"Don't even say you're sorry."
"...."
"Okay. Anyway, it's time to check it out. How many members are here now?"
"Yes Yes?"
"It's about how many members are in here."
"Ah!"
She looked around as much as she could and lowered her voice.
"Currently, 31 people from the 3rd order and 7 people from the 2nd order have succeeded in hiding. And the other First Order-nim came in first as planned and took a seat."
"Hmm. That's right."
While nodding my head formally, I put together as much information as possible.
What I barely noticed was that there was one other person named First Order besides me, and that there were almost 40 of them.
Although the scale is not large, their ability is unusual if it is enough to plant this number of people in Theon. The fortunate thing is that this woman in front of me doesn't even question my identity. Rather, she sends awe-inspiring gazes of fear and respect at the same time.
"Checking is over, so I'll leave now."
"Ah! After that, you can come to the designated place if you want to connect."
Meeting place? Was there such a place?
But there's no way I would be able to ask questions like, 'Where is it?'
As I was thinking about how to do this, a good idea came to my mind.
"Come? Are you telling me what to do?"
As I deliberately lowered my voice and sent a cold gaze, I could see her complexion turning pale.
Whether this bluff had been paid off, she desperately made excuses while shaking her body like a baby squirrel.
"It is not. I, I just...."
"I don't like to hear excuses. If a meeting is necessary in the future it will be here. The same is true of place and time. Do you understand?"
"I see."
"If it is necessary to go, I will only allow it if a First Order like me or someone higher than calls it."
"Higher than you? Would it be Zero Order-sama?"
So there is a Zero Order.
"Don't bother me with trivial matters other than his words. Do you understand? This is a warning."
I said that and got up from my seat.
I was about to leave without looking back, but she called me from behind and said, "There."
"What?"
"That, that...What will we do when you call us?"
The moment I heard those words, I felt like shit.
Come to think of it, I didn't explain it. But I can't possibly explain to you something I don't know.
"...Do I have to say that with my mouth?"
"Oh no!"
"I'm going to let it pass this time."
With those words, I quickly left.
* * *
'Thump thump!'
Upon returning home, I hurriedly went up to the bedroom on the second floor and took out the suitcase I had put in the closet.
After scattering the letters in Rudger's suitcase on the bed and checking them one by one, I realized that my anxious imagination had finally become a reality.
"...Haaa, damn it."
The strange sense of alienation I felt while reading the letters.
Why did he have to exchange these formal words with an acquaintance who has not family?
Why did a man with such a splendid record restrained his private life to such an extent that it was close to nothing?
All those questions were finally answered.
-In the first place, this was no ordinary letter.
I scanned the special characters of a specific word written inside the letter. The heterogeneity that I instinctively felt was in a certain pattern of these characters.
'Okay.'
This was the 'password'. Their own passphrase they use so they don't get caught by others.
Throwing away the letters, I re-read the documents proving my identity.
'Fallen Nobility? No family? From a foreign country that is very far from the empire?'
All of that is fake.
'Then, the true identity of the Rudger I met on the train....'
A member of the secret society hidden in the Theon Academy, even an executive with the title of First Order and now, I'm wearing that guy's mask.
My legs got soft and I flopped down on the bed.
"Crazy."
This identity of Rudger Chelici, which I thought was ideal for starting a new life...In fact, a nuclear bomb was more dangerous than anything else.

I got a fake job at the academy C9: Disguised Employment (1)
Happy New Year!!!
I was lying idly in bed for about an hour like that. I didn't have the strength to do anything right away
At this point, I felt a sense of shame.
No, how the hell does a secret society executive get caught up in a train attack and die?
A secret society executive who planted nearly 40 spies in Theon Academy should have survived that situation!
"Sigh."
Even if I get angry like this, the dead won't come back. All of this is just pointless consumption of emotions.
I'm now Rudger Chelici, and I have to hold on to this damn status for two years.
'Honestly, I thought that it would be okay if only the Academy didn't find out, and that's difficult enough.'
Still, having experience, I thought that I could plausibly pretend to be a teacher. Because I also know how to use magic, and there is no shortage of theoretical knowledge.
The fact that I could spend two years without problems was not arrogance, but a conviction made up of thorough calculations. But now I became an executive in a secret association and they're very dangerous.
Assassination of some members of the academy, dealing with traitors, their methods are quite cruel. Even the gangsters and mafia on Earth don't do this and that's enough to show they are a radical group.
The situation just went from normal mode to hell mode.
"Let's think."
Now I have one more thing to deal with thanks to this fake identity.
The Academy and an unknown secret society, if either of these groups find out that I'm not Rudger, I'll die.
Whether at the hands of the Chancellor, or by the laws of the Empire, or by the secret society's own purges.
Now death is closer to me than it was in any other moment.
"I have to think."
Rudger Chelici is an executive of the secret society. The name Rudger was also created, so it's a pseudonym, but anyway, he's in a position called First Order.
Among the secret society members that permeated the academy, the First Orders were alone, including me. I don't need to know right away what their purpose is.
What matters is who the other First Orders are. I couldn't ask about it openly, so there was no way to know right away unless they made contact with me.
'For now, I can ignore the second and third orders.'
It is presumed that the real Rudger had a very eccentric personality within the organization. Even though I only changed my voice a little, it was a fact that could be inferred from the expression on his subordinate's contemplative expression.
His personality is bad, so his subordinates wouldn't want to deal with him for too long. That is welcome on my part.
In the end, I only had to care about other First Orders. Who the hell are they?
'I can't ask. I don't know how the executives recognize other executives. If I do that, I will immediately be suspicious.'
Now, I had to deal with not only the Academy and the Empire, but also the secret societies that were secretly hiding within the Empire.
I thought I was riding on the back of only one tiger, but I was riding on the back of two. The moment when either side goes wrong, it's over.
'Okay. After all, since this has happened, I have no choice but to do it.'
I immediately took out the books from the suitcase and opened the letter next to it.
'Getting information comes first.'
This letter must be the password used by their organization, it was necessary to interpret it.
A certain pattern exists in all passwords and the one that can analyze the pattern is this book in the bag.
'I'm a teacher at the Magic Academy, so no magic books. Other than that, there were a few unusual books.'
I looked through the books.
[Watcher of the Rye] [Ringerk's Philosophy] [Traces of Totalitarianism] [A Hundred Years of Solitude], novels, autobiographies, non-fiction and bestsellers. Among them, there was one book that stood out to me.
[Gentleman's Culture]
'This is it.'
I remembered Rudger on the train, his actions, how he shacked his legs slightly or waved his hands. If the man had really seriously considered the culture of a gentleman and had read this book, he wouldn't have behaved like that.
'This book was the most touched.'
A part of the cover was worn and deteriorated. It appears like he reads a lot, but is there really a reason for that?
'This book was being used as an interpretation of the password.'
I opened the book of [A Gentleman's Culture] and turned the page. The irregularity hidden slowly caught my eye. Traces of burns can be seen in the book. Some pages were not read, and some pages were read until the paper ran out.
Looking carefully at the particular worn-out page, I could see something between the letters. I immediately took the letter and compared them.
'It is said that the continent uses a unified language, but each country has a slightly different language.'
Since the traces of Rudger Chelici originated from the Queoden Kingdom, I can think of the Queoden language. In particular, the letter explicitly contained traces of some proper nouns or dialects used in the Kingdom of Queoden.
Although it is a small and barren kingdom in the north, Queoden, which has produced quite a number of great writers, has only about 20,000 words used in that dialect, of which 8,000 are advanced vocabulary.
Obviously this is the point of the password.
It's not difficult to tell the code apart, considering the arrangement of the language and the connection with the letters because I know Queoden.
'Also.'
My prediction was correct. When I checked the code in Queoden, I saw connections between words and letters.
Next to them, some words that symbolize numbers were mixed together.
The number probably represents the page of this codebook, and if I interpret it by combining other words….
'First Order, infiltrate Theon Academy as a teacher and win their favor. After that, I will pass on the next order while monitoring the situation.'
I couldn't get any conclusive information, but this was enough.
I closed the book [A Gentleman's Culture] and tilted my head back.
"Whoa."
2 years left. I had to live as an academy teacher and as a secret society executive.
Of course, I couldn't live like that forever. Even after spending two years as a teacher safely, the issue of the secret society remains.
Their presence was very annoying to me. If I make a mistake in the middle, I have the highest chance of getting killed.
'But I can't get rid of the secret society by myself. I don't know how the organization is structured, but it was enough to plant spies in Theon Academy. They must be pretty dangerous.'
It is impossible to deal with them personally.
But let's leave it alone for now, this secret society is a shackle holding my ankles, and I had to erase it.
But how?
'I must use the power of the academy.'
There is a saying 'Deal with barbarians to subdue barbarians.'
Theon Academy is not just a school. It is a place that symbolizes the future, nurturing the future of the empire.
Despite the name 'academy', it is not impossible because it is a place with enormous power to affect any country.
If Theon and the secret society face off against each other, no matter how great the secret society is, they will have no choice but to be pushed back.
How many soldiers and wizards are there? Even within the Imperial Territory, there is a possibility that the Templar Knights will move. They know that too, so they planted spies instead of choosing to break through head-on.
In other words, I had to carefully dig up their information so as not to be caught by the secret society, and then leak that information to the academy.
'Of course if I take too long I might die in the process.'
The secret society could purge me because I betrayed them, and conversely, the academy could suspect me as a spy and exclude me. In the end, it was important to maintain a certain rhythm.
The moment I lean to one side, the only thing waiting for me is ruin.
'For now...Let's start with the first class in a week.'
There was no specific instruction but buying favor is to imprint my image clearly as a teacher. If so, first of all, fulfilling my duty as a teacher is a priority.
Since Theon is a place where smart students attend, if I show a lack of appearance even a little, I may be bitten by them.
At the age of growing up, talented children usually think that they are the best, and even ignore their teachers.
I don't know what it's like here, but I've come to realize through long experience that people are the same no matter the place.
'...There are so many things to consider.'
Don't look silly to students, don't get suspected by the academy and don't get caught by the secret society guys.
I was wondering what the hell I was supposed to do, but if I endure all of this, I will obtain a great reward. For that I'll have to endure for now.
I got up from bed and went into my personal study room and opened a magic textbook.
I had to come up with a plan for the future and prepare how to proceed with the class.
There are 2 years left, I couldn't just play.
* * *
The first day of school has arrived.
The students who went to their hometowns during the vacation are returning one by one, and with the new semester, this year's freshmen also arrived.
The students who were in the first year went up to the second year and crossed the school gate with their hearts full of anticipation of what new classes they could take in the future.
From all corners of the classroom, students met friends they hadn't seen in months and greeted each other warmly. However, although all of them are attending the same academy, not everyone is the same.
There are noisy students and quiet students. Naturally, the atmosphere was divided among the students, of course, their status in society was also determined.
Inside Theon Academy, students are divided into three classes.
The upper class, led by royalty, nobles, and high-ranking priests, middle class led by wealthy merchants and finally, the lower class occupied by the poor commoners.
Even if they were studying at the same academy, they could not ignore their status, and as a result, they built walls without realizing it and divided the classes inside the academy.
The nobles smiled brightly and greeted each other, while the commoners, on the other hand, often looked at each other or gathered quietly among themselves.
"Did you hear the news?"
"What news?"
"There is a class on the theory of the manifestation system and the understanding of elements? Are you saying that the new teacher is doing it?"
"The new teacher is not teaching the first year, but the second year? Does he have any skills?"
"He can't help it, his predecessor went out. When I heard the news, I heard that his past record was splendid? It's said that he also wrote a lot of theses while in the military."
"Isn't he a great person then?"
"But you know what?"
"What?"
"That person is a fallen aristocrat."
At the word "fallen aristocrat", a laugh naturally crept into the lips of the person that was leading the conversation.
Fallen nobles were usually treated worse than wealthy merchants among nobles.
Since he was appointed as a Theon teacher, he had some talent, but to the upper-class students, he was looking ridiculous.
At the same time, the aristocratic students had similar thoughts. If the new teacher is a fallen aristocrat then earning credits in his class will be a breeze.
The moment they talked about what kind of person he was, the front door of the classroom opened silently.
All eyes turned to the front door, there was a man entering the classroom through the open door.

I got a fake job at the academy C10: Disguised Employment (2)
Chapter 3/3 for the week.
The man was like a calm lake with a mist of water at dawn, cold, and still.
Like a peaceful, unshakable sleep, every action is restrained, quiet, and clutter-free. Even when the classroom door closes, when the footsteps of the shoes go up the pulpit, and when he puts documents on the desk, there is no sound.
That silence engulfed the entire classroom like ripples on the water.
"Huh..."
Even the aristocratic students who continued to talk were swept away by the atmosphere and kept their mouths shut.
The students, who had been quiet, turned their eyes to the main character standing on the podium, their eyes shining with curiosity.
The suit commensurate with his stature did not have any wrinkles. On top of that, a black frock coat that fits snugly on the body is added. A stylish, yet not overdone attire.
As the man took off the hat on his head and threw it lightly, it flew gently toward the hanger in the corner of the class and landed. In the midst of a series of movements that were so natural, his appearance hidden behind a hat was revealed.
A sharp jawline, straight nose and unshakable eyes. His strong, yet charismatic eyes were sharpened to the point that he could hardly be seen as a new teacher. His long hair for a man was tied neatly around the nape of his neck.
"Gulp."
Some aristocratic students who were secretly gossiping were crushed by the momentum and swallowed their saliva without realizing it.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Rudger Chelici, and I'm your new teacher."
The moment he opened his mouth and made a sound was as if water was poured on watercolors scattered dreamily. The atmosphere of the classroom, which had been immersed in stillness, returned to reality.
* * *
"It's the first day of class, so I won't start teaching right away."
I slowly hung the frock coat I had taken off on the hanger.
It wasn't difficult to keep the conversation going. It was enough to just recite the words that came to mind in advance at the right time.
This is a kind of play.
I am the actor on the stage, and the students are the audience. I just have to keep the monologue naturally in line with the breath, following the flow.
Because the script is all in my head.
"My class is theory of the manifestation but there will be no teaching purely on the manifestation system. Rather than that, we will focus on applying the principles to real life beyond the practical ones."
Taking a quick glance at the crowd, I saw a few people shrugging their shoulders.
That's a good response.
Since Rudger was a soldier there was no student who looked strangely at me, even though I maintained such a tone and intense eyes.
"It is possible to apply for my class not only in the second year, but also in the first year. In other words, it can be viewed as a joint class for the first and second graders."
All the students gathered now were in their second year, so it was just embarrassing. However, there is no school rule stating that classes should be unconditionally divided by grade level, so it was not impossible.
The moment the noise gradually subsided, I opened my mouth at the most appropriate time.
"Stop."
In an instant, the noise inside the classroom disappeared.
Everyone's eyes turn in this direction again.
"It is natural to feel dissatisfied with the fact that as second year students you'll have to attend the same classes as the first year students but don't worry. Considering the first graders, I will not teach the obvious things that even beginners can learn."
A response filled with relief flows from all over the place.
Theon Academy's teaching method is more like a university than a high school in terms of earth. However, since it is not completely a university, it can be seen that the mixture is a little vague.
Theon students choose the lectures they want to take according to their specialties, and receive credits by completing the subjects.
'There's no big difference between the first and second year students.'
With that in mind, I decided to conduct a joint class between the first and second graders.
Why?
When only second graders get together, inevitably, the story of the teacher comes up. The curiosity and main target of second-year students who have known each other enough for a year will be the new teacher, not a classmate in the same grade.
But what if a freshman is in the same classroom? The attention of the second graders is dispersed to the juniors in the first grade.
Then there will be significantly fewer cases of people talking about me.
The existence of the first-year students is a kind of smoke screen that keeps the second graders from doubting my qualifications as a teacher.
"Why do you let first-year students attend classes?"
Someone raised a hand and said,
When I looked, it was a girl with wavy blonde hair that reached her waist. Her unshakable eyes that are facing this way have a strong sense of certainty.
Her face is familiar….Where have I seen that face before?
'The kind of person who is reluctant to think of something....'
Once the question was asked, I decided to answer it.
"Because I thought they needed a chance too."
"What do you mean by chance?"
"I think it is very unfortunate that I have to take my classes only for a certain grade, that's absolutely the wrong attitude as an educator. To provide equal teaching to all regardless of grade level, that is my opinion."
Well, they're going to ask me why I didn't mention the 3rd graders.
Of course, they can also take my classes if they want. However, it will be difficult for 3rd graders to digest the essential subjects they are learning right now.
In fact, it would be up to 2nd year if I could afford it.
"Of course, that means that the classes I teach do not depend on the grade level."
Well, it's not like I'm just saying things without thinking because I made sure I was prepared for class.
"It's hard to understand if you don't explain exactly what the class is."
"If you are curious, you can come to my class. It's not fun to tell in advance."
A small wrinkle appeared on the forehead of the blonde girl. I'm sorry, but I have no intention of telling you what I will teach right now. Rather, it was meant to make you more anxious and curious.
There is nothing that students attending the academy are wary of as much as an unknown class.
"Just one warning. If there is someone who wants to take my class with the stupid idea that I am a new teacher and that they can easily get credits."
After deliberately adjusting my breathing and inhaling I spit out the last words strongly.
"At that time, I will carve into their bones what real education is."
The last sentence means 'please don't come to my class.'
If they had to take a class with the first years, their pride would be quite hurt. I even warned them that the class will not be easy. There was a great chance that the students would not attend.
If a landmine was thrown openly like this, and it explodes after being stepped on, it is the fault of the person who stepped on it.
'Everything is there for a reason. You'll find out when you go to class.'
"Any questions?"
I asked the students.
* * *
The classroom was quiet.
When Rudger asked if they had any questions, none of the students raised their hands.
It's not that there aren't any questions. I also liked the trivial questions about how the assignments were going to be done, what the exact curriculum was for the class, or what was taught before but no one said anything.
Everyone was overwhelmed by the spirit of Rudger Chelici.
'Is that the new teacher?'
'I heard that he came from the military, so the atmosphere is not a joke.'
'There was a saying that he was at least a fourth rank. Is it true?'
Even the noble students who ignored their opponents as the fallen nobles avoided Rudger's gaze and swallowed only dry saliva.
The upper class, however, couldn't possibly have the other students dare to step forward. Everyone felt it implicitly as they listened to Rudger's words.
That man never uttered everything in vain.
Unless a person is genuinely proud of their class, they can never show such a reaction.
What the hell are you trying to teach? If it is not bound by theory, is it practical? If so, how is it in practice?
In everyone's head, only those complicated thoughts popped up and disappeared like bubbles over and over again.
But one thing is certain, the class led by the teacher named Rudger Chelici is never going to be easy.
"Any questions?"
His voice asked again. It was like that of a person who wanted to ask a question, but the students were not deceived.
The moment you raise his hand here and open your mouth, you will immediately be caught by Rudger.
Looking at those staring eyes that seem to eat them the will to never allow questions is conveyed.
The blonde girl who first raised her hand was now still.
"No. Then the opening ceremony will end with this."
The breathtaking orientation ended just like that.
* * *
When the orientation was over, the students got up one by one and left the classroom.
I watched the scene carefully from the platform. Once I said everything I wanted to say, I guess they understood everything, right? But honestly, I was shocked that no one raised their hand when I asked them if they had questions.
Up until the night before right now, I was prepared to receive all kinds of questions and prepared answers for them, but all of them are useless.
Aren't academies like this usually all about children with strong egos? I thought they would make fun of me and pour out questions, did I overthink it?
'No. Wait a minute.'
It could be the other way around. What if they were intentionally chewing on my words? Isn't that often the case in 21st century Korea?
When a new teacher arrives, the students deliberately ignore him without paying any attention. This is especially the case with female teachers.
'Well.'
I said it as seriously as I could on purpose to be scary, but did that have the opposite effect? Perhaps these coercive tones and actions touched the self-esteem of students who considered themselves geniuses.
'Then it's a bit of a big deal.'
In the military, the successor is the senior, in the workplace the lieutenant is the gunner, in the school the student ignores the teacher.
It is self-evident that if I lose control of the atmosphere at the beginning, it will cause setbacks for future classes. If so, should I treat the students with a friendlier attitude?
'No, if I suddenly change now things will become strange. I just have to push through to the end.'
Being friendly and smiling for nothing is actually not my temperament, it's my nature, and most of the roles I've been acting with have been like this.
Besides, it's been three weeks since I've been here and everyone already knows who Rudger is.
Meanwhile, the remaining students in the classroom did not come to me. It's not that they're not interested, because I clearly felt their gaze.
Still, I thought they would ask me some cliché questions like how old you are or if you have a girlfriend, but I didn't know that they wouldn't open their mouths.
Kids these days are scary.
* * *
"Thump. Thump."
I left the classroom at a leisurely pace and walked slowly down the hallway. It was the first day of school anyway, so this was the end of today's work.
Since the course registration correction period is not over yet, the students still have time to decide the classes they want to attend.
The first class in earnest is 3 days later. Until then, let's think seriously about how I can take the lead in the class from the students.
At least I should avoid being told that I'm not qualified as a teacher. Thinking like that, I checked the front, and saw all the students walking down the hallway looking at me and clearing the way.
Boys and girls alike, when they see me walking, they are startled and stick to the wall or window.
'What. Why?'
Could it be that the rumors of a new teacher, who seem bubbly, have already spread throughout the academy?
I heard that there is a community like the university community 'Everytime' where the students can exchange opinions with each other inside the academy, is that because of that?
Just when I thought that the next class would be quite difficult, someone spoke to me.
"Hello."
I stopped and stared at the woman speaking and smiling towards me.
"You are the new teacher Mr. Rudger Chelici?"
"Yes."
She was a charming pink haired woman with slightly wavy ends and a warm smile like a sheep. She's not wearing a uniform, so I don't think she's a student.
Perhaps?
Before I could say anything, she spoke again.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Selina, I'm also a new teacher at Theon Academy just like Mr. Rudger."
"Okay. Nice to meet you."
When I glanced at her as to what she had come for, Selina looked into my eyes, a little perplexed, she spoke quietly in a crawling voice.
"That...Have you eaten?"
