I Became a Professor at the Academy - I Became a Professor at the Academy chapter 140

140 – A Month in Hell (1)

December 9th.

33 days until the festival.

“Ah, then let’s start the final rank battle.”

Jayden’s voice, amplified by magical powers, resonated throughout the arena.

“Challengers, please come forward.”

More than 10 students came forward, starting with the first graders and ending with the second and third graders.

“Yes, then we will start with student Kang Seok-ho, who has the lowest rank. Students Kang Seok-ho and Kim Jun-pyo, please prepare and come out.”

I checked Jayden’s tablet in my hand.

[ 17th place Kang Seok-ho (1st year): The pace of growth is slow, but it is steadily developing without stopping.]

[ 16th place Kim Joon-pyo (Sophomore): Ranked in the top ranks with strength enhancement skills (talents to aim for the top if speed or other upper-middle-level skills develop)]

A brief evaluation is included along with the ranking.

“Professor Hanna Kang. Please proceed.”

-yep!!

Kang Han-na, who played the role of supervisor, continued the progress of the rank war on behalf of Jayden.

Jayden, who had gone out in front, walks up and sits next to me.

“I thought an associate professor would come instead, but I didn’t expect him to come in person.”

“Now that we’ve taken care of everything, it’s time for us to do things like those in charge.”

“hahahaha, the students are already praising the professor just because Associate Professor Claire is looking at them. isn’t it? Professor Cheon Ji-ho.”

Cheon Ji-ho, who was sitting a block away, turned his head in this direction startled.

“Yeah, yes. In fact, every time Associate Professor Claire takes a look at the students, there are some deviations, but they are definitely growing.”

“It is as Professor Cheon Ji-ho said. Every time the associate professor hit the kids with a wooden sword, their bad habits disappeared one by one, and as they raised their mana to the limit in order to get hit less, everyone’s mana management speed increased dramatically.”

-Kim Jun-pyo wins!!

Kang Han-na’s voice could be heard clearly all the way to this place even though she did not use magic power.

“Um… I was defeated unfortunately, but compared to Seok-ho Kang two months ago and now, I have grown remarkably.”

Chun Ji-ho stumbled up from his seat and looked down at Kang Seok-ho, who was shaking hands with a senior student.

“At first, I couldn’t even convert the part properly, but now I can accurately convert only the part to be hit into steel before the attack hits. In addition, the fighting method has become quite flexible, such as converting arms and hands to steel to increase destructive power by adding weight when attacking, or reducing weight again when the opponent gets used to it.”

It was a pretty detailed explanation.

“You seem to have been watching closely.”

“ha ha ha… Not only Kang Seok-ho, but other students watched intently. Because the seat given to me is a seat… … .”

He laughs awkwardly and scratches his head with his free arm.

“Honestly, I feel uncomfortable because I haven’t done anything for the students… … .”

The boy turned his head and looked at me.

“Professor Baek said that it would be enough if I told the students about my experiences… … Everyone worked so hard that it made me feel sorry to set up such time. I just felt like I was wasting my time.”

Cheon Ji-ho sent me a look, wondering if it would be okay to change the person in charge to another professor.

“Nothing to worry about that part. I will make a seat for you, so it is enough for you to fulfill your role there.”

“… Well, I will do my best.”

“yes. You will have to do your best.”

“… … ?”

There was a small doubt in his eyes, but the situation was soon cleared up with a nod.

– Na Joo-hee! And Nam Seo-hee! from now on!!

Red and black came on stage.

‘Is it third or fourth?’

If it had been the original flow, Na Joo-hee would have maintained second place.

However, because of Baek Ha-na’s presence, Yoon I-seul was pushed to second place and Nam Seo-hee actively changed her mind, naturally lowering the ranking.

‘Not bad.’

He is not frustrated after losing to Baek Ha-na, but rather is moving forward and growing little by little.

I didn’t mean to make friends out of pure goodwill, but I didn’t feel any malice, so it was judged that leaving him alone would benefit Baek Ha-na in many ways.

‘Even if that’s not the case, Nam Seo-hee will take care of it, so I don’t think I need to worry about it.’

“Quite, Juhee trained really hard for today.”

“Looks like you’ve been watching for yourself.”

“ha ha ha… … Since I’m a child who uses the same flame-type magic, my nerves were naturally focused.”

I glanced at the two on the stage for a moment.

‘Na Joo-hee has a bit more power in magical power.’

In fact, unless it is a special case like Claire or Baek Ha-na, it is almost impossible for an enhancement system to surpass a superpower system in terms of magical power.

“Keuheum, student Nam Seo-hee also trained without rest.”

“Isn’t there such a thing as a range of growth even if you train the same?”

“Seeing that Nam Seo-hee has maintained the third place so far, it seems that Nam Seo-hee is better in terms of width.”

“Hoo… … .”

“greatness… … .”

Guys who are old enough to eat are engaged in a war of nerves over others.

“Shut up, both of you.”

“yep… … .”

“Sorry, sorry… .”

Quickly lowering their eyes, they secretly turned their heads and looked down the stage.

-start!!

And Kang Han-na, as if aiming for it, announced the start of the rank war.

At the same time as Kang Han-na stepped back, the two promptly took action.

Roaring!!

The moment when Na Ju-hee’s body, which manifested elementalization as soon as it started, turned into flames.

Jijiji Jik–!!

A single flash of light flew towards Na Ju-hee, drawing a blue trajectory.

– Big?!

Like a fire spirit, Na Joo-hee, whose body was half-engaged in flames, rolled on the floor and evaded the blue flash with a slight difference. However, just before getting up from the floor, Nam Seo-hee, who jumped along the trajectory, attacked Na Joo-hee.

-This, crazy bitch… … !!

The moment Na Ju-hee’s magic circuit expands and flames burst out.

-What do you say, a loser bitch?

Pajijijijik!!

-Kyaaa?!

Nam Seo-hee’s fist with blue brain energy hit Na Joo-hee in the face.

Since it was elementalized, it could not inflict physical damage, but the brain energy in its hand gave Na Ju-hee a considerable blow.

-stop! Nam Seo-hee wins!!

When Kang Han-na shared the win or loss, Nam Seo-hee slowly came down from Na Joo-hee’s top.

Her hair and school uniform are slightly tanned, but she doesn’t seem to care at all.

“… Is it okay for the prosecutor to throw the knife?”

“… … Where is the time to examine such things in practice? If you win, you’re good.”

Even though Cheon Ji-ho sided with Nam Seo-hee, he was embarrassed to look at Jayden’s face properly.

“I know that this is not the first time Nam Seo-hee has thrown a knife. This is not because of Na Joo-hee’s lack of skills, but because of you for not properly informing the opponent of the countermeasures.”

“… … sorry.”

“It’s obvious that the opponent is decided, but it’s like that.”

“Ouch… … .”

The straight guy’s shoulders shrank by almost half.

“It seems I was thinking too highly of you.”

“I will try harder.”

“It should be.”

I glared at Jayden for a moment, then looked down the stage again.

-Yoon Dew! one hundred! from now on!!

Black and white came on stage.

I passed the tablet in my hand to Jayden.

“Send it as is.”

“now… You mean?”

“There will be no change in the rankings. So send it as is. And when the list of participants comes out, send it by e-mail.”

“Ah, yep. The list will be distributed sometime tomorrow afternoon.”

-start!!

Before Kang Han-na even got off the stage, a pure white beast crossed the stage.

It was one beat slower than Baek Ha-na’s movement, but Yun Iseul also spread the shadow widely. It is a device that can grab the foot of the opponent it touches and at the same time intercept the opponent who floats upward.

“Oh, that’s amazing… !! It was fast before, but today it’s not the speed that a student can make!! Could it be that you weren’t strong until now?!”

Cheon Ji-ho jumped up from his seat and admired the speed of Baek Ha-na.

‘… Did I just come to see you?’

Baek Ha-na, spinning around Yun I-seul at twice the speed of the sword Nam Seo-hee threw at the match just before, was literally a beast looking for prey.

The guy who used only a part of the mana he had so far had made full use of all the mana.

Quagga gaggagak——!!

“What?!”

“Yes, the budget… … ?!”

Cheon Ji-ho and Jayden stood up in amazement at the same time.

This is because the bottom of the bag made of superalloy turned over and flew towards Yun Seul.

PABABABAK-!!

Spears of countless shadows protruded from the shadows below and pierced the wall.

Kagagakak!!

And from one window to another, another window popped out one after another, covering the entire stage in an instant.

But I couldn’t find Baekhana anywhere.

“It’s over.”

Part of the floor still floating in the air.

Right in front of them, a pure white beast appeared.

Paaang——!!

The beast, aiming for prey, pushed the fragments floating in the air with all its might, and with an ear-piercing sound, dust large and small rose from the spot where Yoon Dewseul was standing.

“Let them rest well tomorrow, and gather them here the day after tomorrow.”

“Yes? Ah yes. All right… .”

in the dust.

I climbed on top of Yoon Isul and watched Baek Ha-na, who had a sharp fingernail at the end of her neck, and stood up.

**

“Your complexion doesn’t look good.”

“Ah, Professor Jayden.”

Cheon Ji-ho smiled bitterly, slightly lowering his head at Jayden, who had come to his side before he knew it.

“I think I am more nervous because I can’t imagine how Professor Baek will set the stage.”

“hahahaha, I don’t know what it is, but you don’t have to worry too much. Even if you look cold, he is the kind of person who takes care of you when he takes care of you.”

“… okay.”

I don’t know if they’re on good terms, but at least it was Jayden’s words, who seemed to have a close relationship with Baek Woo-jin, so Cheon Ji-ho nodded.

“I prepare slowly. Time to come soon.”

Jayden checked his watch and went back to his seat to line up the loose students.

“Keuheum, everyone please gather!!”

Cheon Ji-ho also spread tension to the students who were a little relaxed after taking a day off.

again.

Cheon Ji-ho, who was examining the students listed above, turned his head at the strangely pleasant sound of heels.

A senior in a black coat and suit appeared.

“Has everyone gathered?”

“Yes. Everyone got together without missing a single one.”

Baek Woo-jin nodded once.

Tak-!!

Then he snapped his fingers towards the stage.

Cheon Ji-ho, who blinked for a moment at the unknown action, had no choice but to open his eyes wide at the change that followed.

uuu!!

A blue light burst out in the middle of the stage, and something that should never be here was created.

“Oh oh… … Gyu, it’s an artificial crack.”

Jayden approached, stuttering slightly.

“Cheonjiho.”

“… Yes, yes?”

Cheon Ji-ho, who had been dazed for a moment at the crack that suddenly appeared, quickly came to his senses and answered.

“If you do your part, you should be able to lead the students out within a month.”

“… Yes?”

“Go in.”

“No, that, stand, explain… … Aww?!”

Cheonjiho floated in the air and was thrown straight into the crack.

Baek Woo-jin turned around and spoke to the students who were stiff with a tense face.

“Go in. Unless you want to land on your face.”

““Hey… … .””

When most students start to shake their shoulders.

Baek Ha-na and Nam Seo-hee came forward first.

Then, without hesitation, he entered the crack.

“profit… … !!”

Na Joo-hee, slightly angry, followed them and jumped into the crack.

Next, Yoon Dew entered, and then went into the cracks one after another.

“Hey, it took a month. I don’t know what you prepared, but you’re going to have a hard time… … uh?”

Jaden looked at the shimmering rift and turned his head startled at his legs suddenly falling off the floor.

“That, Bae, Professor Baek… … ?”

Baek Woo-jin said to Jayden, who was swallowing dry saliva.

“Wasn’t that the place you liked?”

“No, that, ha, a month or so… … Lots of things to do… … Aaghh?!”

Jaden disappeared, swallowed by the blue light.

“I am strong.”

“Yes, yes!!”

Kang Han-na, who was very nervous, quickly ran to Baek Woo-jin and stood.

“Along with the other professors, make sure to pack the necessities, even for the students.”

“yep!! I will check it twice or thrice without any problems and prepare!!”

“To disperse.”

“yep! I will disperse!!”

Kang Han-na quickly turned around.

Receiving her intense gaze, the rest of the professors briefly bowed their heads toward Baek Woo-jin and left the arena very quickly.

“The rest, please.”

There was a small ripple in the empty air, and Claire appeared with her elegant blonde hair neatly tied up.

“Yes. Be careful.”

“yes.”

Baek Woo-jin turned and entered the crack.

A familiar small bag was tied around his waist.
