The Villains I Taught Became Heroes - Chapter 86



85 – I Knew – 2

Even after my first date with Angela, we met a few more times.

Each time, the kids would get a bit annoyed, but still, as I said, they attended class diligently.

Especially Angela’s class.

Perhaps because she knew my students liked me, Angela would tease them even more, but our kids are just regular kids.

As long as it’s not outright bullying, Angela’s little jabs were harmless.

For instance, unnecessary criticisms or difficult exam questions were cleverly brushed off.

“Hyun. Teaching is hard.”

Is that why?

Since we started seeing each other, Angela began to share stories about what happened during class.

Most of it was about Sowol, Lena, and Arisha’s attitudes in class.

The kids are smart, but their behavior is poor.

“Do you know how much they disregard me?”

With a tipsy expression, Angela pouted.

Of course, she wasn’t actually drunk.

How could someone as heavy a drinker as Angela get tipsy from just a few glasses of wine?

“There must be some reason for it. Don’t take it too hard.”

But there was no need to reveal that.

It was amusing to see her like that, so I just played along.

“You seem too soft on the kids.”

“Really? I don’t think there’s anyone who teaches without blood or tears like I do.”

“Hehe. Is that so? Others might think you have some deep relationship with them.”

“Deep relationship, my foot. By the way, it seems like you’ve had enough to drink. Let’s get up soon.”

I set down my glass of whiskey.

Seeing that, Angela stumbled and fell into my arms.

And looking up at me with her hot eyes, she spoke in a voice that was softly wet.

“I don’t want to go in today…”

“But you have to. Come on. I’ll help you.”

Angela’s temptations had been constant every time we met.

It must be that she wants to have me in the palm of her hand.

But if I were to fall for such temptations, I would have already succumbed to the kids’ charms.

I smiled at her, who was rubbing her chest against my arm, and calculated as I stepped outside.

Walking through the darkening streets, I arrived at the academy, guiding Angela, who was clinging to me, into my room.

“…I have a cat in my room. Want to see it?”

“Uh. I don’t like cats.”

“…Tch.”

Where did she learn such tricks?

Angela, who had lightly tapped my chest, stood on her tiptoes and kissed my cheek.

If she were a stranger, that alone would have made my heart race, but I’m not one to fall for such a minor temptation.

I patted Angela’s back and let her inside.

Ha ha. This is a bit frustrating.

Her pride must have taken quite a hit.

But that’s not my concern.

I hummed a tune as I returned to my room.

After changing into comfortable clothes and preparing to lie down on the bed, I heard a knock on the door.

Who could it be? There shouldn’t be anyone visiting at this hour.

“Oh? It’s Lumina.”

“Sorry for coming at such a late hour, Instructor.”

“No, it’s fine. But what’s the matter?”

“I was hoping you could take a look at this.”

What Lumina handed me was a request form.

[Large Beast Elimination Request]

[Eliminate the large beasts occurring in the Rocksvalte Plains.]

[Reward: Hall of Glory]

Finally, this request has come.

The final event of Chapter 2.

It’s a request for the defense of the Hall of Glory.

The Hall of Glory is one of the treasures of the Deorent Kingdom, an artifact that grants its owner increased strength, wisdom, and magical power.

Originally, it is stored deep within the treasure vault of the Deorent Kingdom, but through this event, the Hall of Glory will be brought to the outside.

And the descendants of the Magic Empire were also eyeing it.

The reason was simple.

It was because there were facilities that could be created using the Hall of Glory.

Specifically, facilities that could control large beasts.

Considering the chaos that a single large beast could create, it would indeed be something highly coveted from the perspective of the descendants of the Magic Empire.

—

And the final battle of Chapter 2 is against Angela, the heir of the Mage Empire, who seeks to seize the Hall of Glory.

It is time for Chapter 2 to come to an end.

This means that the religious war event, which will soon divide the true ending and the ending, is about to occur.

I smiled at Lumina, who was looking at me with a serious expression.

“I hope you’ll accept this request, right?”

“Y-Yes? Yes. That’s right. The Rocksvaldt Plains are right next to the capital of the Deornth Kingdom.”

“In order to tackle the large magical beasts, our entire party must go out. This means that it also includes the young heirs of countries or families that do not have good relations with the Deornth Kingdom.”

“Um. That’s why I’ve come to ask the instructor.”

“Aren’t you going to catch the large magical beasts directly in the Deornth Kingdom?”

“The royal knights cannot leave the capital right now. They are in a situation where they cannot move their troops.”

“It seems the heirs of the Mage Empire have appeared.”

“Ah… Yes. That’s correct.”

Lumina’s expression darkened.

Since the heirs of the Mage Empire appeared in the underground waterway last time, they had been showing up across the continent.

Due to the chaos they were causing, each country was in a situation where they could not carelessly move their armies.

Especially towards the capital, it must be even more so.

“Is it not possible…?”

Lumina looked at me with a worried face.

Perhaps feeling embarrassed about borrowing the power of the academy, as well as mine, she was even avoiding my gaze.

I patted her shoulder and smiled.

“Of course, it’s possible.”

It’s a request that should be accepted without question.

When the next day’s meeting time came, I read the request form that Lumina had brought.

Was it because it was the first time receiving a request to catch a large magical beast?

The students’ expressions did not look very good.

“Anyway, it had to be done at some point.”

“But can we really deal with a large magical beast?”

Large magical beasts are on a completely different level compared to ordinary monsters or magical beasts.

Just their size is comparable to a small mansion, and their bodies are wrapped in special magical power, making them difficult to attack.

On top of that, their offensive power is incredibly strong, and if you get hit wrong, you could end up in a near-death state in just two or three hits.

Given that, it was understandable that the students were feeling uneasy.

“You all can do it.”

“You’ve often participated in large magical beast subjugation, instructor. Do you have some special method?”

“I know how to remove the special magical power that covers the body of the large magical beast. If that happens, the large magical beast is just a big creature with strong attack power. If all of you work together, it won’t be hard to capture it.”

“You can remove that magical power? How?”

“The method is simple. If you deliver a powerful attack in a single hit, that magical power will break. Once the magical power is broken, the large magical beast cannot recover that power until a certain amount of time has passed.”

I can solve the most troublesome issue in capturing a large magical beast.

Of course, it means I will be tired and need to rest afterward, but I believe my kids can subdue the large magical beast without me.

After that, questions continued to arise, and I explained based on my experiences and the information from the game.

As the answers to the questions came forth, the students’ expressions were shifting from anxiety to a sense of “we can do this.”

“Well. No more questions, right?”

The chatter of the students quieted down after a while. In that case, it seems I can accept this request.

“Then, make sure to attend the class well. Train hard until the departure date.”

Evening. As I headed to the dining hall to eat, someone tapped my arm lightly.

Turning my head, it was Angela.

Is this woman following me?

She always seems to stick around whenever it’s dinner time.

“Are you going to eat?”

“Yeah. If you haven’t had dinner, how about we eat together?”

“I’m good with dinner, but what about drinks?”

“I’ll pass on the drinks. I have something to prepare.”

“Prepare?”

“Yeah. In a few days, I have to go to the Deorent Kingdom for a request.”

“…You’re talking about the large monster extermination request, right? The Hall of Glory is the reward.”

“You know about it? That’s right.”

And it’s something you all are aiming for as well.

She had been silent, as if deep in thought, but then she looked up at me and smiled.

Faced with her smile, which felt somehow dangerous, I smiled back.

“Well… I didn’t expect you guys to do that. Or should I say I predicted it to some extent?”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah. I get it. Let’s save the drinks for another time.”

Angela, smiling, stepped back and left.

Watching her go, I snorted.

In the capital of the Deorent Kingdom, there are no dimensional magic circles.

To be precise, most capitals in various countries do not have dimensional magic circles.

This is to prevent terrorism using dimensional magic circles.

In other words, in order to receive the Hall of Glory in the capital and return to the academy, one must leave the capital of the Deorent Kingdom and travel to a location with a dimensional magic circle.

And there, the final event of Chapter 2 begins. The battle against Angela.

So, how will Angela move?

“Teach~er~!”

“Whoa! What the heck! You can’t just jump at me like that!”

Arisha, bouncing like a big puppy toward her owner, clung to my back.

Naturally adopting a piggyback position, I walked toward the dining hall with her on my back.

“We’re going to have dinner! Let’s go!”

“You’ll never get married at this rate.”

“Hehe~. If you accept me, it’s fine~.”

“Dream on.”

“Ugh. Ugh.”

I chuckled as Arisha hugged my neck tightly, teasing me, and then I let her down.

She pouted, refusing to get down, but it was only for a moment.

Ariasha, grumbling as she climbed down from my back, immediately wrapped her arms around mine.

“You should eat something.”

“Huh? Is this a date proposal?”

“Date? No way. It’s extra training.”

“Tch. But what kind of training?”

“It’s training to break the magic of a large monster. You need to do it too.”

After all, you have to be at the center of it all.
