I Will Save the World and Retire Chapter 43

Teacher and disciple (3)

It’s peaceful.

It couldn’t be more peaceful than this.

Why is it peaceful?

The world will end in 20 years?

Is it okay for things to be this peaceful?

“hmm? ark? “This hunter is investigating that.”

Even when I ask about the ark, all I get back is that Mi-seon Lee is investigating it.

“More than that, how are the kids doing? “Isn’t it long until we enter the dungeon?”

“I’m the homeroom teacher of the magic class.”

“however?”

“The rest of the children are not my responsibility. “Didn’t we end our conversation like that?”

“Uh huh. How can you be so heartless? “If you’re a teacher, you have to take care of everything.”

So, isn’t that why you look at it once in a while? I really don’t know what more you want here… .

If you’re going to treat me like this, just give me a raise.

“And there’s nothing Mr. Wu is doing right now, is there? I stopped taking rune classes to prepare for entering the dungeon… .”

“It’s because of preparations for entering the dungeon.”

“Anyway, Seohyun teaches magic.”

Not Kim Chae-min, but Park Seo-hyun’s name appears.

No, it’s not wrong, but if you say it that way, my position is a bit strange.

“But that doesn’t mean I don’t look after the kids, right?”

… When I say it this way, it seems like I’m really obsessed with being the homeroom teacher of the magic class. Not at all.

shit.

“Is that so?”

Hong Seok-young smirks. How did I end up like this? I still don’t know.

“I’ll keep asking for the kids, Teacher Wu.”

“… … .”

Anyway, everything went peacefully.

The kids are working hard, and it looks like Hong Seok-young and Lee Mi-seon are doing something about the Ark… . Even in the original time zone, nothing much happened during this time. Even the dungeon break didn’t happen. Even if it did happen occasionally, it was suppressed without damage.

But why am I so anxious?

There is an idiom going around in hunter society that a hunter’s sense is trash. It was a fairly old adage. This is usually a sarcastic phrase used to mock hunters who let their guard down because they trust their own instincts too much.

Hunters with well-developed five senses take in more information than others. Therefore, there is information that can be realized at an instinctive level without going through the head. That doesn’t mean it’s wrong. In a battle where your life is at stake, that sense can save your life.

But if you blindly believe in that and ignore the value of the information right in front of you… Those guys wipe out the raiding party.

That’s why a hunter’s intuition cannot be trusted. I also agree with that.

But still, isn’t it strange that I suffer from anxiety for several days like this? There are degrees of people.

So I wondered what the cause might be.

“… … .”

Is it because there is no work?

“… … … .”

no way. No way.

Is there anyone else who has a good work-life balance like me? There was a lot of vacation time piled up, but isn’t that like that for everyone? When you’re working, you forget about taking vacations… .

… is not it?

… … No, but I’m bored because I don’t do what I always do. When it comes to dungeon raiding, it’s a waste of time to stick to just one C-level dungeon.

Wouldn’t it be okay to continue with rune classes? I’m also going to have the kids review runes… .

“uh! Uh, uhh! done! “It happened, right?!”

I hear a commotion outside. Choi Jin-woo is wow! and shouting loudly.

I wanted to know something, so I came out of the container used in the teacher’s office.

“teacher! “Look at this!”

When Choi Jin-woo saw me, he waved his arms. It’s the first time I’ve seen a child who was acting like an adult get this excited since I cried after hearing Park Seo-hyun’s story.

“Why so… . hmm?”

“how is it?”

There was a reason, and it was surprisingly easy to find out.

The playground is full of fog. No, it is not fog, but it is distributed only in a certain area. Close to the floor. Can’t go past the knees. It is a white fog that floats like dry ice.

I narrowed my eyes. It’s hard to see under the sunlight, but the fog is shining brightly.

“See it?!”

Choi Jin-woo is not the only one who is excited. Park Seo-hyun is also smiling with a flushed face. It’s not the gloomy look with bangs down, nor is it the grumpy look I saw in Myeongdong. If you look at that, it’s an ordinary child that can be seen anywhere.

I was worried, but he seemed to be getting along well with Choi Jin-woo. Please continue to grow like this.

“Grandpa, it’s magic!”

“… Unique magic?”

Choi Jin-woo is that much of a genius?

“no. “That’s not it.”

My eyes were normal.

“My grandfather taught me that it was one of the magics he often used. “It’s a magic that illuminates dark places, and it shows hidden things, so it’s good for avoiding traps.”

“It’s a good spell.”

“Right?”

Park Seo-hyun smiled brightly. I’m not sure if I’m happy that my grandfather’s magic is being praised, or if I’m happy that Choi Jin-woo succeeded in using my grandfather’s magic.

Maybe it’s both.

Hong Seok-young also came out and gave compliments to Park Seo-hyun and Choi Jin-woo.

Hong Seok-young completely entrusted the children’s dungeon strategy to me. Although they said this was a test for children, I thought it might also be a test for me. Have you revealed too much about what you know about dungeons?

No, but it hurts your pride to say that you don’t know what you know. Moreover, I know for sure that you are weak in this area, but it is difficult to entrust the children to me. If you entrust Hong Seok-young with a strategy class, it is obvious that he will end up using strange onomatopoeia.

‘Here, it’s a bang, and if you say a kugugung at this time…’ !’

Since I was old enough, I followed his class… . What on earth did the students at Demonstration High School or Hunter Academy learn from that man’s class?

I touched my chin for a moment.

I don’t think I learned anything in class, but there is a talented person in front of me who can grow on his own. If I just add some plausible words, wouldn’t they think that their development is thanks to me?

“Student Seohyun Park.”

“yes?”

“What about magical power analysis?”

Park Seo-hyun’s mouth, which had been chatting away with Choi Jin-woo, closed like a clam. Look at this guy.

“What about analysis?”

“Well, I’m doing it… .”

Park Seo-hyun’s shoulders are getting more and more slumped.

“Didn’t Teacher Kim tell you how?”

“yes yes… . But now, I don’t know… It’s my magic power, but it’s very different from the magic power my grandfather described… .”

Park Seo-hyun was clumsily imitating light magic with such a different magical power.

“Don’t think too complicated.”

I don’t know what process that witch went through to become the Great Wizard of Shadow.

However, there were a few archmages that I was familiar with. Among them, there were some who had students, and I picked up a few things they said to their students while passing by from time to time.

“Like you said, it’s your magic power. “You know best.”

“… … .”

“Well, it’s true that you shouldn’t think too complicatedly. Don’t get caught up in the facts of light and shadow, think of them as properties. “You’re good at using basic magic, right?”

“It’s different from basic magic… .”

“The fact that it is magic using magical power is the same. “Among the basic magics, there is something about lighting a spark, right?”

Park Seo-hyun looked at me with a skeptical look and nodded. I gently dug into the dirt with my toes. When a small hole formed, I took a drink that the children had thrown in while eating and poured it into it. A small puddle formed.

“Try boiling it.”

“yes?”

“Try raising the temperature. Boiling water. “Is it easy?”

Park Seo-hyun twitched her lips and then started drawing math. The puddle soon began to boil.

“stop.”

“I… .”

“Now cool down.”

“… … .”

“Cold.”

Park Seo-hyun drew the formula again. The bubbling puddle quickly calmed down.

“continue.”

“… … .”

“more.”

The puddle ripples. Then the surface started to turn white and freeze.

“stop. okay?”

“… … .”

It seems like you don’t know anything at all. I sighed.

“Heat and cold. If we classify this by attribute, it becomes fire and ice, or water. They’re completely opposite properties. But what was the formula like?”

“formula… .”

Park Seo-hyun looked at her hands that had been making equations with a dumb expression on her face.

“Not all magic is like that, but sometimes there are magics that have the opposite effect by reversing the formula. I’m not a wizard so I don’t know any more, but… .”

I shrugged my shoulders.

“Think about how you were able to use light magic, which is the opposite attribute.”

That’s because he’s a genius. Because he’s a genius.

“I guess grandfather’s light magic is somewhat similar to your magic.”

“… … .”

“Start by flipping the equation. Do you know anything? “You might catch something.”

Park Seo-hyun’s eyes darkened. He licks her lips and then lowers her head. His hair, which had been tucked behind his ear, became disheveled and his bangs fell over like a curtain.

I hastily looked away. It’s bad for your heart.

“Then the rest is self-study. “If you’re not sure, ask Teacher Kim.”

“… “To the teacher.”

Park Seo-hyun spoke softly without raising her head.

“Can I ask the teacher?”

What is he talking about?

I poked Park Seo-hyun’s forehead with my index finger.

When I pushed Park Seo-hyun’s forehead with my fingers, she obediently raised her head. Her wide-open eyes looked distant from the witch she was. good. Her path to becoming a witch must be completely blocked.

But that is that and this is this.

“I’m not a wizard so I don’t know much.”

* * *

Originally, there were ten students in the first class of the pilot high school.

So there are ten desks in the classroom. Of course, two are empty now.

I think about it sometimes. Even now, I didn’t get the feeling that the classroom container was full, but I wonder what it would have been like in the original time period when there were fewer students.

Wouldn’t it be suffocating?

If it were me, I would have dropped out of school.

In fact, there may have been someone who quit. There are almost no records of the first class of pilot high school students… . If you think about it that way, Oh Hyun-wook and Park Seo-hyun, who managed to stick to a pilot high school and become so-called hunters despite their mental breakdowns, may be amazing.

Well, anyway, there are no students who have quit due to such unfortunate circumstances. They say that their parents forced them to quit, saying they were anxious after the Myeongdong incident.

hmm.

Hong Seok-young placed the two students on leave of absence. This was possible because it wasn’t a proper school anyway.

Come to think of it.

“Student Hye-eun Yoo.”

“… yes?”

Yoo Hye-eun, who was groaning and twisting the magical power in her hands, raised her head. Thanks to this, her magic dissipated.

“ah!”

“Lack of concentration.”

“Teacher… !”

“If you are a hunter, you should be able to maintain it in any situation.”

“I’m not a hunter… .”

“… … ah. It did.”

Healers are also awakeners, but they cannot be called combatants. He usually works in hospitals rather than going into dungeons.

… Now that I think about it, wouldn’t it be okay if he wasn’t here? No matter how crazy the times are now, therapists are welcomed everywhere.

No. They didn’t have proper guardians. If he is mistakenly captured by a vicious guild like Seo Han-seong, he will not be able to escape on his own. It is correct to think that Hong Seok-young is protecting you.

Although he eventually died.

I looked at Yoo Hye-eun and smiled.

Let’s only think about what’s in front of us. He’s alive now. Then that’s it. Little Yoo Ji-eun will never become a high school girl with a gloomy smile.

“Still, it’s the same. again.”

“eww… .”

Yoo Hye-eun pouted her lips and moved her fingers in concentration. The pure white magical power blooming from her fingertips is woven as if it were thread. She’s just like that lady, sticking out her lips whenever she concentrates.

I remembered what I was originally going to ask.

“How is your sister?”

“Jieun?”

Yoo Hye-eun’s hands, which were weaving magical energy, stop.

“I heard that you went with the principal to register as an awakened person.”

“Oh, really, Yoo Ji-eun, she’s my younger sister… .”

“why?”

“Oh, don’t say anything.”

Yoo Hye-eun released her magical powers and shook her head.

“I keep hearing strange things from somewhere… . “Just this morning, I was barely able to stop you from sticking your foot in the ice?”

“hmm?”

“They say that having cold feet is good for magical circulation or something… . “They’re doing all sorts of strange things.”

“… … .”

Could it be that this is why I’ve been so anxious these past few days?

“Didn’t your younger brother make noises about waste in the blood vessels?”

“They say that because the deadline has already passed, we need to find another way. Yesterday, I sat down and just chewed lettuce, saying I needed to cleanse my stomach… .”

For Yoo Hye-eun, it seems like it was just an unfortunate eccentricity of her younger brother… What if I suddenly go to a pseudo-training center? If I know Yoo Ji-eun’s ability to act, it is possible. Didn’t even little Yoo Ji-eun come running to me and say nonsense like asking me to accept her as her student?

If you make a mistake, you will open your eyes and lose your future strategy slave.

shit. Should I even care about this? What on earth is the principal doing?
