I Ended My Engagement With My Childhood Friend, the Hero - I Ended My Engagement With My Childhood Friend, the Hero chapter 4

4 – Why is my brother-in-law here?

To be honest, all the people I met and the enemies I dealt with were monsters.

At least a single person could stand against the nation’s national power… There were only such enormous beings.

Among such beings, I have always thought that I am not particularly great and am an ordinary being… But in a normal society, I come to realize a little that I am a monster just as much as they are.

I confronted the thieves. At first, the thieves attacked me while arguing with me.

Of course, there was no way the thieves could win against me, who is the tank of the warrior party and uses two abilities.

Thieves who are only a little good at using swords. Even if hundreds of these thieves attacked, I could defeat them all.

“Run…!”

It didn’t take long for the situation to end because of it.

As if the thieves weren’t that stupid, as soon as they realized that I was an unusual person and that they couldn’t touch them, they immediately rolled up their tails and ran away.

I didn’t bother chasing them.

The important thing now is the person in this wagon.

“Thank you… For saving me…”

A lady with silver hair carefully emerges from the carriage.

Looking at her, she was exactly what I expected.

As far as I know, there was only one person who wore the feria family crest.

“It’s been a while. Rize.”

The owner of long silver hair and a wall face.

I said hello to this person.

The daughter of the president of the Imperial Academy, and my classmate at the academy, was Lise Elferia.

“Huh…? Isn’t that Alan?”

Lizee also seemed to recognize me.

Rize was startled when she recognized me.

I was in the same class for all three years of the academy, and I and Rize were close friends.

Of course, it was so nice to meet such an alumni.

Because of that, I think we talked a lot about this and that.

We sat down at a suitable restaurant and asked each other about everything.

“Wow… Became the principal of the academy? That’s great?”

Rize says she became the principal of the academy while she couldn’t see her.

It seems like just yesterday when we went to the academy together with her a few years ago.

For her to become the principal, she couldn’t help but be quite surprised.

“It’s something amazing… It’s just, well, the feeling of inheriting the family business.”

Lize sighed at my praise, as if she herself did not deserve her. She

She’s just a paratrooper, she said, but…

“But still. It’s okay because you have the minimum ability. It’s really changed a lot.”

Actually, the headmaster of the academy was not a position that anyone could sit on because she was the president’s daughter.

She must have been put in that position because Rize was right for her talent.

In fact, I was well aware of her abilities having been with her for three years in her academy.

I admire Rize, who has changed so much.

Has it been 5 years since we’ve seen each other?

In the meantime, Rize seems to have become a full-fledged adult who has escaped from being a girl in many ways.

“You are the one who has changed.”

But, Rize shook her head.

Rather, I was saying that I had changed a lot.

“Is that true that you broke up with Raina?”

“Oh. That’s right.”

I told Rize the circumstances of my breakup with Raina.

He also told me the circumstances that led him to leave the warrior party.

Even though it seemed like he explained it sufficiently, Rize made an expression that he couldn’t understand it no matter how much he listened to it.

“What the hell is he thinking? Why the hell did he change like this… When did he follow you so well?”

Lise, I, and Raina were academy classmates.

Lizee would know from seeing Raina a few years ago, but to be honest, she was really nice back then.

Before dating me, she was a sweet and kind child as a childhood friend, but…

To be honest, I don’t know why Rina has changed so much.

“I don’t know. He must be thinking something. Let’s stop talking about that.”

“Ah… Sorry…”

But now I’ve decided not to pay much attention.

It wasn’t a story worth talking about anymore anyway.

I didn’t tell Rize that story just to talk behind my back.

“Anyway, thank you for the meal. Thanks to you, the money is solid.”

Anyway, it seems like they asked each other about their current situation, and just as the meal was over.

The high-class restaurant that Rize brought me to was really delicious and the price was great.

I expressed my gratitude to Rize for serving me a meal at a place like this even though I was still without money.

“No. What. You’re the one who saved me from the thieves. You should treat me like this.”

Rize waved her hand and said that she was more grateful to her.

“Well, there’s no way you’ll be defeated by bandits.”

“Just in case… I’m not a combat agent.”

But well, to be honest, even if I hadn’t saved him, there’s no way Rize would be defeated.

Well, that’s what Rize said.

I was just about to leave while laughing.

“Oh right. Alan. You said you don’t have money right now. So, are you going to work in the guild for a while?”

Rize grabbed me once more and asked.

One of the stories I told Rize was that a member of the warrior’s party took my money.

For that reason, I talked about staying in the Empire for a while and working in a guild, but it seemed like he was asking about it.

“Hmm… What do you think? Why?”

I didn’t know why Rize asked me that again.

“Then Alan, would you rather join the academy for a while?”

“Huh…?”

It wasn’t long before I could see why she was telling me this.

“Why don’t you come in and tutor the kids for a minute? Wouldn’t that be much better for you? You’d probably know, and it would be a lot more secure.”

Rise’s eyes were bright as she looked at me.

Well, since Rize is now the principal of the academy, she must want to recruit excellent teachers for her own career.

And I was a very good person among the excellent people Rize wanted.

Because not long ago, he was the guy who rolled at the warriors’ party.

Rize deserves to be greedy.

“That’s true, but…”

And I, too, was honestly a little tempted by Rize’s proposal.

Guild work is actually done because there is no money, but I didn’t really want to do it.

Basically, since it’s a service industry, it can cause trouble with a lot of different people, and it’s not stable.

Of course, I wanted to find a stable job.

So I was tempted by Rize’s proposal, but…

There were other important things.

“Umm… Rize. How much do you have?”

The important thing was money.

Considering that the money I earn in the guild will never be small as I am a high-class manpower.

Even if it was less than that, I had to treat them appropriately.

I wondered if I could treat you like that…

“Hmm… To be honest, Alan is an expensive manpower… Roughly a half? I can give it to you.”

Lizee took out a piece of paper from inside her bosom and started writing down numbers and finished the calculation.

Then he smiled as he showed me this piece of paper.

“Okay. Call.”

It was certainly not a bad price.

I headed straight for the academy tomorrow.

I haven’t heard of the academy in a really long time. Five years have passed since I graduated, but the feeling of revisiting it was new.

Furthermore, on the glorious day when I was appointed as a lecturer at this academy, although I was a temporary instructor, it wasn’t that bad.

I went straight to the academy, and I was able to meet Rize, who was waiting for me.

“It’s not late, you’re welcome.”

“You can’t be late. It’s a job that requires responsibility.”

The principal greets me with a smile, and I greeted Rize happily.

Ah… But now that I think about it, is Rize my boss…? Should I write this respectfully?

Those thoughts crossed my mind, but I guess it doesn’t matter.

“By the way, how many classes do I have?”

I asked Rize.

I asked to join the academy as a temporary instructor, but in fact, I hadn’t heard anything about the students I was supposed to teach.

Perhaps the academy is divided into A class, B class, C class, D class, in order of grades, and I was a little curious about how many classes I would be in charge of.

“Ah… I didn’t tell you.”

At my question, Rize finally nodded his head.

And he gave me my answer.

“It’s a special class.”

The answer was a special class, not class A, class B, class C, or class D…

“What kind of class is that?”

Are there classes like that at the academy…? I thought about it, but no matter how much I thought about it, I had never heard or seen such a class when I was in the academy.

I thought it was a new class…

“It happened this time.”

As expected, the new class seemed to fit.

Since this class was created after I left the academy, it must have been something I didn’t know.

“Hmm… What class are you in?”

So I was curious about what kind of class the special class was.

What… Isn’t this a class with a bunch of strange students…?

For some reason, I felt worried.

“It’s just… It’s a collection of little special kids… Don’t worry too much. They’re all nice.”

“Ah… Is that so? I’m glad then.”

But Rize told me there was no need to worry at all.

To be honest, I didn’t have much faith in those words…

“Okay. We’ve arrived.”

Anyway, you’ll know when you see it for yourself.

Just in case, this was the class I was going to be in charge of.

I entered the class with Rize and faced the students.

A total of two students were sitting in their seats.

At a glance, they were all children with strong personalities.

And among them was a child I knew.

“Uh…? Riden.”

Red eyes with golden hair.

A student who looked very much like someone I knew was sitting in class.

“Why is your brother-in-law here?”

She was my ex-fiancée, Raina’s sister, Leeden.
