The Academy’s Health Teacher Wants to Take a Break - The Academy’s Health Teacher Wants to Take a Break chapter 79

Episode 79. This is not it!!

Deus Ex Machina.

The reason I picked her up was not because she was a weapon, but because I saw her as a girl who wanted to learn about the world.

‘Gunpowder is something that can be so beautiful.’

Because that remark was not something that could only be said by a person who knew only massacres.

Of course, I may be wrong, but at least it won’t be too late to make a decision after hearing what he has to say.

For that reason, I was currently headed to the place where the only person in Maris believed to be able to fix this weapon was with the permission of the director.

‘So, you want me to introduce you to a craftsman who can repair that weapon?’

‘Yes, since I unplugged this child’s power source alive and exploded it, I think I will need a replacement. As a bonus, she lost some of her fighting ability.’

Fortunately, Mariel is a body that also serves as the general manager for the outside of Maris.

Of course, since all of the academy’s key collaborators are well versed, you must know a lot about outstanding artisans.

This academy also has many special facilities that cannot be found anywhere else.

If you are a person who even has an understanding of the engineering applied to ancient weapons……. There must be only one person in this Maris.’

‘One person?’

‘Did you know that the magic tools in this academy work automatically without a magician? The underlying design and device are, in a sense, derived from ancient technology.’

An ancient technique that was once developed, but its usage has been lost for some reason.

The person Mari El introduced me to was that she had analyzed and understood those technologies herself, and had a history of improving them with the skills needed to make the tools and facilities necessary for the academy.

She is, in fact, one of the contributors to the founding of Maris.

Of course, those who are called artisans are usually strong on the naive side, but she also received a letter of recommendation from Mariel, so it was judged that there was nothing wrong with trying.

‘Ah, how can I not solve it in the case of the necessary budget for reference? I gave you the right to temporarily retain possession of weapons that should have been retrieved or destroyed in the first place, because Seine judged that you had the ability to handle them.’

‘…What do you mean?’

‘I’ll be able to claim it once the results are proven, but before that time comes, you’ll have to pay the cost of maintaining the weapon. No matter how old it is.’

…Ah what.

It’s a matter of money, but it’s all savings anyway, so there’s nowhere to spend the money right away, and you can think of this as an investment and collect it later.

“Is this the place Mariel was talking about?”

For that reason, we arrived in an area not far from Maris.

However, it is a gloomy alleyway with few people compared to the prosperous place in the center.

It’s an atmosphere that ordinary people don’t even pay attention to…. Well, if it’s a craftsman, it wouldn’t be strange to be in a place like this.

Artists who usually only dig one well pay little attention to anything other than their major, so it was understandable that they preferred a place where no one would step foot.

-Hing?

“Oh, yes. It’s this way.”

So I continued walking down the alleyway, stroking the mane of the unicorn pulling the cart.

A series of empty houses where people once lived but now no one is left.

Abandoned factory materials, yet a street where no one seems to pass by, not a single piece of garbage…….

“This would be the place written in the address… …. Well?”

I stopped at the place where I reached the end and stared at what was unfolding in front of me.

A building with smoke billowing out of its chimney.

Aiming at a man in school uniform standing in front of a place that could be seen as a workshop.

“Oh, hello. He, is he on business here?”

A male student immediately notices my presence and greets me.

In addition to a respectful attitude, he was an impressive child who was taller than most adults.

“Yes, I am Seine, the health teacher of Maris. Do you know?”

“Ah, yes. He’s inaugurated this year.”

A male student exclaimed when he saw the white gown covering me.

After that, he let go of his guard and gave a lighter smile, then respectfully bowed his head towards me.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Seine. My name is Malian Drevis, who serves as the vice-president of the Maris Student Council.”

“…… What do you mean?”

“Yes, please call me whatever you like.”

Malan smiles brightly.

Seeing that he was introduced as the vice-president, it seemed that this boy was the closest aide to the chairman who took care of Dale.

“Hmm.”

How long had it passed since he looked up and down because he was strangely concerned about that figure?

Soon, the first impression I thought of seeing him spewed out of my mouth.

“He is very skinny.”

“Yes?”

“Do you go out to eat? Are you skipping meals just because you are sleepy when you are just studying or working?”

“That…. That… ….”

Malan is embarrassed and averts his gaze for a moment.

It’s a reaction close to being stabbed in the middle.

“Ugh, that shouldn’t be the case. You have to eat well. Look at this. He grew taller, and his arms, legs, and liver all became skinny like a pepero.”

“Ugh!”

I feel sorry for him, and he staggers terribly when he taps his shoulder.

It was a natural result since his entire body was made up of only leather and bones.

Seriously, if it wasn’t for personal business, I’d have taken him somewhere and fed him meat.

“Studying is good and it is good to be faithful to the student council work. But more than that, health comes first. Exercise steadily, refrain from flour and greasy food, drink mostly lukewarm water, and don’t drink or smoke…….”

“… Yes, yes I will listen.”

Anyone who finally accepts my words while making a troubled expression.

Seeing that figure, I burst into laughter and patted him on the shoulder as I stepped into the workshop.

A place cluttered with various tools and materials. The space was large, but it was not easy to find a place to set foot.

I pushed them away with my feet to open the way and continued talking.

“By the way, vice president, why are you standing here? Did you have something to do with the owner here like I did?”

“Ah, that… …. In fact, I came here to order supplies for the school.”

“Fixtures? Ah, thinking about it, I heard that the student council also takes care of things that are necessary for school administration.”

Because the authority of Maris’ student council is higher than that of most teachers.

From noble mtl dot com

Moreover, the student council has more direct interactions with students than with teachers, so they are well versed in school affairs.

In a way, it would be a natural step to take over the ordering of necessary supplies for the school.

Well, like any job, there are some writers who take care of things they don’t want to do, but…….

“By the way, when ordering supplies, shouldn’t we go to the factory rather than the workshop?”

“Ah, that… …. They said that the blueprints for the items they wanted to order did not arrive, so I came here to get them myself.”

“The factory didn’t send someone, did you?”

“Ahahahaha, it happens often, so don’t worry about it.”

Oh my gosh, it seemed that teachers weren’t the only ones taking care of students.

I heard that students run in the field to develop autonomy and independence……. I don’t know if it’s only because of this that I feel the sadness of middle management until I graduate.

“…… I can guess why you were standing there.”

Stairs found after leaving the entrance area.

The fact that there are footprints in the dust accumulated on the stairs must mean that someone has recently climbed up here.

I followed the trail and continued talking.

“Isn’t that craftsman uncomfortable?”

It’s usually difficult to deal with stubborn guys.

If you’re a student, you’re young, so it wouldn’t be strange if you were ignored.

“No, that’s more than awkward… …. You must be concerned about working too hard.”

“Worried?”

“Well, in fact, in his case, he is more concerned about the work he has created.”

“Are you the type to feel more anxiety than pride?”

“Yes, each and every one of his creations is really great, so demand is high. But no matter how well-made a piece is, it’s impossible to completely prevent it from being damaged, right?”

“That’s right, no matter how high the durability is, going to the ‘absolute’ level is a theoretical domain.”

Especially, what I’m ordering now is not a personal order, but a blueprint to be sent to the factory.

As it is a mass-produced product, of course, mass production is premised, so the material must be processed quickly, so durability is inevitably sacrificed.

“Of course, he knows that too, but when it breaks down and someone gets hurt, he wails a lot. So there are times when you stay up all night and day to make something better……. At that time, no matter what I say next to you, you won’t listen at all.”

“What can I say?”

“Yes, I’m worried about what to do if I fall down like that, but… …. Rather, I am worried that something bad will happen if I touch it.”

So that’s why I couldn’t enter the workshop and trembled.

Damn it, that must be very difficult to negotiate.

If you’re stubborn, you can break it down by arguing or whatever, but people with depression can lose their will to work if they do something wrong.

“Are you in a hurry to place an order?”

But since I came here because I needed something, I can’t go back like this.

“It’s not that urgent. Because there are so many that have been produced so far, there are many substitutes. However, it is customary to consult with the craftsman first if there is a need to replace equipment in the academy…….”

Any words that blur the tail after talking up to that point.

Looking at the fact that it was difficult to answer, it seemed that a major accident had occurred at the academy somewhere I did not know.

“… It must have been an accident.”

“Yes, because of the work he created, there was a loss of life a while ago.”

If it is a casualty, it is a death…….

No, if something like that came out within the academy, it would be impossible to hide it, so it wouldn’t have resulted in a death.

No matter how seriously you hit it, it must have been a serious injury that would endanger your life at the time.

However, if a patient occurs at the academy, the news will reach me as a health teacher.

At least after I started working full-time, the number of life-threatening injuries in this academy was at best in the lead team.

Even that injury was caused by recklessly subduing a boy born from a barbarian tribe, not by damage to equipment……. Could it be that the school hid a patient I didn’t know?

“What was broken and people were injured?”

If that’s really the case, it’s something that health teachers can’t overlook.

As soon as I asked the question, Malan hesitated before answering.

“A window.”

“…A window?”

A window.

Is that the thing that Dale wakes up to when he’s fictitious?

-Wow!

At that moment, the sound of breaking glass echoed throughout the studio.

For a moment, my attention, alerted, turned to the corner of the road I was heading to.

Damn, I’ve been quiet lately. Did something happen here?

“Ah, again…… !!”

But unlike me, Malan just exclaims as if he’s used to this.

Looking at the contemplative face, it doesn’t seem dangerous, but……. No, it’s better to check for yourself than to ask.

“Draph. Are you okay?”

After that, Malan took the lead and entered a studio located in a workshop.

In addition to the heat from the steam, fragments of something broken were scattered everywhere.

Metal… No, glass.

That’s also quite sharp glass.

“This is not it!!”

And the old man who is presumed to have done it is still pointing his hammer at the glass plate on the workbench.

“This is not it. This is not it!! aaa!!!”

Immediately after, the hammer was mercilessly swung! And glass panes that shatter violently.

As he hammered the broken glass plate again, the targeted shards eventually crumbled into powder and began to flow everywhere.

A situation where you feel familiar without knowing why.

An exclamation flowed out of my mouth when I saw that scene.

“Hey, I was wondering why the hard windows break on such a fictitious day.”

I can’t believe the creator was a window wrecker.
