The Greatest Man in the World Hides His Power - The Greatest Man in the World Hides His Power chapter 37

37 – Temporary Instructor – 1

The fire that was wrapped in flames was strong, but it wasn’t enough that the two could be defeated in an instant.

Like we saw last time, Layla’s magic was powerful, and Theros’ attack was also fierce.

The funny thing is that even though the two of them fought so much, their breathing matched well.

-Kuhuhhh!!

“Avoid the floor! The floor!”

“You should avoid it! You asshole!!”

Of course, I didn’t forget to fight during the battle.

That’s great. How can you fight like that and breathe like that?

In this battle, I’m at the stage where I step back and see the skills of the two.

Actually, when the two of them bumped into Hwa-ho a few times, I knew their skills well.

To be honest, it wasn’t to the point of wanting to die because it was trivial, but it was difficult to evaluate it as being that strong.

The breathing was well coordinated, but Terose’s attacks sometimes cut off, and Layla’s magic was close to being clumsy compared to Cecil’s.

But if you think this is student level, I can give it a high enough score.

“Ugh…!”

However, that evaluation is still up to now. As the battle continues to a certain extent, it begins to slowly push back.

Lyla’s magic has weakened, and Theros is often pushed back.

I guess I’ll have to step out now.

– Kuhuhhh!!

“Ugh…!”

“Kup!”

The moment the two of them were pushed back by Hwa-ho’s flame attack, I ran between them and Hwa-ho. Hwa-ho, who was about to attack the two, met eyes with me and changed the target of the attack.

– Ahhhhh!!

It was quite amazing to see the fiercely blazing tiger running with its mouth wide open.

– Sudden!!

That was all.

“…Without even a sword?!”

If you reach the level of unification of new swords, you can even cut water with your sword.

Therefore, there is nothing that a tiger made of fire cannot cut down.

While Hwa-ho, whose forepaw had been cut off by my attack, screamed in agony, I swung my sword again and blew his head off.

End with this. Hwa-ho was caught.

“Everyone worked hard.”

“Uh… Um. How did you just do that?!”

“Unification of the new sword. It is to make the sword and body one. It’s a higher level than the sword skill… Theros. Let’s make this your goal.”

“Oh yes!”

In the meantime, Hwa-ho’s body completely disappeared, leaving a heart and claws made of flames on the floor. And what those two want is to have quite a few hairs of flame left here and there while fighting. We all got everything we needed, so the Hwaho hunt was over.

“You’re lucky.”

“What do you mean by that?”

According to Terose’s explanation, if you’re unlucky when catching the Fire Tiger, you may not be able to get the heart and claws. It’s fortunate.

I don’t have to waste time.

“Then shall we return soon?”

“I want to hunt a little more since I came here…”

“It’s not good to push yourself too hard. Especially Lyla. You look pretty exhausted.”

It seems that dealing with Hwa-ho was not that easy for the two, who are still only students.

If it hadn’t been for me earlier, Layla wouldn’t be standing now. Theros looked up and down at her, drenched in sweat, and nodded her head as if to agree with me.

“Don’t get caught messing around for nothing. Little brother.”

“Moan…”

It seems she didn’t have anything to say this time either. After a short moan, she flinched at my gaze and hurriedly shouted,

“It’s because I’m a fire tiger! I’m good at fire magic!”

“hahahahaha. I see. It will be of great help the next time you catch another type of monster.”

“Heh heh heh.”

“Now, then, let’s have a reflection party? First of all, Theros. The time to maintain sword skills is short. It seems like it’s because you use a hammer… Do you really need to use a hammer?”

“I like this.”

“Then the moment you hit the ki, it’s important to use it only when the blow is made. It’s less of a ki use than holding it when swinging and retrieving.”

“Um…”

“Basic training is basic, and practice wearing a weapon frequently. However, rather than maintaining it for a long time, it is better to focus on the moment when the weapon strikes the enemy.”

“So you’re talking about concentration training?”

“Yes. That’s the best.”

Theros had a serious expression. Still, I’m glad you’re listening to what I have to say.

When I was in Moorim, there were many people who got angry when I taught them, saying, ‘You say you know what?’

“And Layla…”

“You mean you have to train not only fire magic, but other magic as well, right?”

“hahahaha. I don’t know much about magic, so it’s hard to say. But when I fought with Cecil, her magic was a bit faster. It’s the same magic, but I think I could have reduced the number of chanting…”

“Hmm. That’s probably because of the difference in proficiency. If you’re at the level of Professor Cecil, you can shorten the chanting.”

“After all, you have to use it a lot.”

“Mmm. Yes. Right?”

“If you both know what to do, that’s all you need to do. I wish you good luck.”

Thanks to that, I could easily get the ingredients. I wish you both well.

“Thank you for your teaching.”

“hehehe. I will never forget this debt! So, shall we return?!”

After returning to the academy, the two went to the professor for a report. I also had to report, so I headed towards the front door, and the administrative staff there were impressed by the claws of the flower pot I had brought.

“Wow. I didn’t expect you to solve this quest so quickly. How did you find Hwa-ho?”

“I was lucky.”

If it wasn’t for Theros and Laila siblings, I would have had a hard time too. Laughing at my answer, he placed Hwa-ho’s claws in a box.

“I will report and contact you. Where can I contact you?”

“Just let Professor Cecil know. I’m working with them right now.”

“Okay.”

Is the rest just waiting? I went to Cecil’s room with the box containing the heart.

Um. Why did everyone slump?

“Hmm. Are you here?”

“Yes. I brought the Heart of Hwa-Ho.”

“Ohhhhh!”

Everyone was delighted with my words and stood up. After examining the burning heart in the box, they took it out and put it in the experiment tool and started working.

“You came earlier than expected? I thought it would take a few more days.”

“Theros, I got help from the Layla siblings.”

I told Cecile what had happened while I was hunting.

After hearing all this, she smiled and shook her head slowly.

“You did a good job hunting with those troublemakers.”

“I had some skills. My hands and feet fit well.”

“Well… You two did well in practice. More than that, if Vice Dean Rodriguez’s request is also successful, maybe you can get a temporary instructor’s position?”

“hahahaha. Yes. I’m glad it will be of help to Lord Cecil.”

“Ugh. I told you. It’s not that I didn’t get it, it’s that I didn’t.”

I will hold on to the end.

“Then, with the other sages…”

“Well, I won’t stop you if you want to work with me like that.”

I can’t be honest.

But if I told you that I was actually a co-instructor for someone else, I might cry.

Her spirit smiled at her as she looked at me with her anxious expression, and her I nodded her head.

“Okay. I have to take care of the lord. Who will take care of the lord?”

“…How do you feel like a child?”

“It’s important to lean in sometimes.”

“Ha. Yes. Wouldn’t it be hard to do the Yeongji business?”

“It’s not that difficult. The Black Alchemists are more of a problem, but…

“Hmm. It sure does.”

“What are you talking about?”

Hyeonja Noh, who was absorbed in the experiment for a while, laughed and joined our conversation. Cecile and I told her about the current situation.

The Black Alchemist is targeting Lucy. Because of that, when I told him that I was a little nervous about coming and going, he told me to wait and went outside.

After a while, he returned and found two small boxes in his hands.

“Use this. In case of an emergency, can’t you use it to contact and move? If an emergency occurs while you are here, call and teleport.”

I checked inside and found that it was a crystal ball. Can I contact you through this?

“Crystal ball for distance communication… But, Sage Luden. Isn’t this quite expensive?”

Cecile also looked surprised.

If she’s wide enough to open her eyes… She must’ve given her something real good.

“There’s no place for me to use it right now… It’s better for someone who needs it to use it. It’s for the people who help us in our research, so what’s the point! hahahahaha!!”

Sage Luden laughed out loud and tapped my arm.

“So, I’d like you to help me with the next experiment. Will it be okay?”

Ah. Sure.

It was when he was killing time helping with experiments in Cecil’s lab. A man shook his head with the sound of knocking on the lab door.

“Is Cheonyoung here?”

“It’s just me.”

“It was from Vice President Rodriguez.”

It was a small box. When I checked inside, there was a pocket full of gold coins and a document. At the front of the document, there was a phrase that read, “Proof of Instructor’s Duties.”

“If I have this, can I act as a temporary instructor?”

“Yes? Yes. You can use it right away. Can you elaborate?”

“No. You don’t need to do it. Cheonyoung. If you look behind you, write the name of the instructor who will help you in the cooperating instructor section. Then you can submit it to me..”

“Ah. That’s right. Then Sage Luden…”

“……”

“It’s a joke, so don’t look at it that way.”

“Whew. Other than that… Do you have the skills to teach academy students? Is that possible?”

I shrugged at Cecile’s question.

I am confident in teaching, but it is questionable whether I can follow well.

It would be comfortable if the students were at least the level of Theros or Lyla…

“By the way, is it okay if the class is a bit strict?”

“It’s okay if you don’t kill me.”

Then I am confident that I will do well.
