The Villains I Taught Became Heroes - Chapter 87



86 – I Knew – 3

I could break the magic of a large monster on my own, but among the enemies that appear in the latter half, there are quite a few who utilize the special magic of large monsters.

Normally, this is a skill you can only learn by participating in an event with the King of Authority, but since it’s not a mandatory event, is it really necessary to go through that?

My schedule is already tight as it is.

If that’s the case, I can just teach you.

“Is there such a skill?”

“It’s a technique that all moderately skilled hunters are aware of.”

“Wow… Teacher, you’re amazing~!”

“You just realized that now?”

“No!? Hehe! I’ve known you were amazing for a long time!”

With a bright smile, Ariasha grabbed my arm and began to bounce excitedly.

“Let’s hurry and go eat!”

After finishing our meal with Ariasha, we arrived at the training ground.

Ariasha, dressed in a form-fitting training outfit, was lightly warming up.

Hmm. Seeing her like this, Ariasha has a really nice figure.

Curves in all the right places.

“Huh? Teacher?”

A playful smile spread across Ariasha’s face as she warmed up.

Then, she walked over lightly, standing in front of me and looking up as she spoke.

“What were you just looking at?”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“Liars~.”

She usually seems a bit silly, but she’s quick to catch on.

I flicked her clean forehead playfully.

Noticing her lips pouting slightly, I pinched them gently and got into position.

“We don’t have time for jokes, so let’s get started. The technique I’m going to teach you now is called Tonghwangkwon.”

“Tonghwangkwon?”

“It’s a type of magic that involves pushing your own magic into the opponent’s body. Watch closely.”

I approached the rock I had prepared beforehand.

Feeling Ariasha’s gaze on me, I stood still and slowly reached out my hand toward the rock.

And then.

-BOOM!!

As soon as my hand touched it, the rock shattered into pieces.

Ariasha’s eyes widen as she silently watches.

Seeing her rush over to examine the rock closely, I lightly tapped her on the back.

“How is it? Do you think you understand what it is?”

“Um… it seems a bit difficult…”

“That can happen. The important thing is how you move the magic. Now, let me tell you the incantation. The wind moves the sky…”

Ariasha listened intently, as if she wouldn’t miss a single word of the incantation I was sharing.

After repeating the incantation about four times, I placed my hand on her back.

“I’ll guide the flow of magic.”

The golem brings the rock back.

I stepped in front of the rock with Ariasha, keeping my hand on her back as I moved the magic.

“…It feels strange.”

“Even if it feels strange, just endure it.”

“It tickles a bit… It feels like you’re caressing my body, teacher…”

Ariasha said sweetly, her voice filled with excitement.

Her earlobes were flushed red. As my breath grew heavier, I successfully drew out the magic and held onto Ariasha’s arm.

“Umm…”

“Don’t make those sounds.”

“But it feels good.”

“Focus, and stop saying unnecessary things.”

With a click of her tongue, Ariasha raised her hand as I guided her. Slowly, she brought her hand to the rock and released her magic.

-BOOM!!

At that moment, the rock shattered.

It wasn’t completely destroyed like I had done, but it still broke into several pieces.

“Alright. Is that enough? Keep going.”

“…Can you help me just a little more?”

“No.”

Ariasha puffed out her cheeks, seemingly dissatisfied.

Regardless, I shrugged and stepped back.

“Can So-wol and Lena do this kind of thing too?”

“Like the Tonghwang-kwon?”

“Yeah.”

“They can’t do it.”

“…Hehe. So, you’re only teaching me, huh?”

“Don’t misunderstand. I just didn’t teach them because there was no need to.”

So-wol’s mastered Moonlight Sword originally has a defense-ignoring attack effect, and Lena’s magic is powerful enough to easily destroy the special magic of large monsters.

That’s why I hadn’t taught them.

“Tch.”

“But since you haven’t taught the others, don’t hold a grudge and just train hard.”

“Okay! Got it!”

A Bright Child.

I had been steadily watching Arisha train.

After about two hours of practicing the Tonghwang technique, Arisha collapsed onto the floor.

“Teacher… I can’t move at all.”

“That’s because you’ve exhausted all your magical energy. Don’t worry, you’ll recover after a good night’s sleep.”

I lifted Arisha, who was sitting there in a daze.

She seemed a bit startled, her body stiffening for a moment, but that was only for a brief while.

With a joyful smile, she hugged me tightly.

“Hehe~. If you carry me like this to my room, I could train like this every day~.”

“Is that all it takes?”

“But~. But~. You smell so nice, Teacher?”

Saying that, she buried her face in the nape of my neck.

Her long hair was tickling my skin.

“Teacher.”

“What is it?”

“You know, to me, you’re like a prince.”

“Like the prince in our class?”

“Ludwig? He’s too childish, I don’t like him.”

Who is the real child here, saying such things?

I shook my head in disbelief, and as I did, Arisha hugged me even tighter and whispered in my ear.

“I know you like me and the older girls.”

“Wow, what a great detective you’ve become.”

“You’re not being honest!”

“That’s just how adults are.”

“Being an adult must be tiring~.”

“It can be.”

“Not even being able to say you like someone. Ah, are you perhaps rejecting me because you can’t choose between me, So-wol, and Lena?”

“That’s not it.”

“If that’s the case, it’s fine. I’m a generous girl. I’ll accept So-wol and Lena too.”

Her boldness, as if she had become the main consort, made me chuckle.

As I giggled, Arisha pouted and hugged me tightly with a voice full of dissatisfaction.

When I brought Arisha to her room, a small commotion broke out.

Of course, it was because of So-wol and Lena.

Regardless, I laid Arisha down on the bed and gently tapped her forehead.

“Today, don’t get distracted and just rest well.”

“I want to wash up… Can’t you help me wash?”

“Is that really okay?”

“Don’t worry! Master! I’ll wash you!”

“I-I’ll help too…!”

How can she be so reliable?

I gently patted the heads of Sowol and Lena.

“I can’t express how relieved I am to have you both here.”

“Hehe. Who else would comfort you if not me, Master?”

“Don’t forget about me, please.”

Seeing the proud expressions on their faces warmed my heart.

After all, they are my students!

“Then I’ll leave the rest to you.”

“Yes! Don’t worry!”

“Goodnight…”

“Sleep well, Teacher~! See you in my dreams~!”

Looks like I’ll be having nightmares tonight.

It had been a few days since I taught Arisha about the Imperial Authority.

Now that I had received permission to carry out my mission, I headed to the Kingdom of Deorent with my students.

“Welcome!! We are glad to have you in the Kingdom of Deorent!”

As we stepped out of the dimensional magic circle, people who seemed to be from the kingdom were waiting for us.

Lumina waved lightly at them and embraced the girl at the front.

“Roya! Did you come to greet us?!”

“Sister!”

The sight of the close-knit sisters hugging each other was quite heartwarming.

Watching them, Arisha muttered with a hint of envy.

“I wish I had a sister too.”

“Why don’t you cheer your parents on to try for another child? Now, shall we go?”

“Oh! Since you’re here, how about stopping by our royal palace? Our parents have prepared a banquet because they heard you were coming.”

A banquet, huh.

I looked around at my students. As expected, the mention of a banquet seemed to excite them.

It’s part of a teacher’s role to accommodate their students’ wishes.

“Then let’s do that.”

“Thank you! Everyone! We’ll take you to the Deorent Royal Palace!”

We boarded the prepared carriage and entered the capital, heading towards the heart of the city.

After going through a few procedures, we made our way to the royal audience chamber.

“Welcome. Lee Hyun.”

“It’s been a while, Your Majesty.”

A middle-aged man sat on the throne.

The King of Deorent greeted me with a smile.

As I acknowledged him, I could hear some of the students gasping in admiration.

“Thanks to you, we overcame a crisis in the kingdom before, and it seems we will be receiving your help again this time.”

“Could you consider that this time, it will be my students who will be helping?”

“Haha. Is that so? I didn’t expect you to refuse the position of Prime Minister and take on the role of an academy instructor. So, how is it? Is being an instructor fun?”

Fun, huh…

I glanced subtly at my students.

Everyone seems to be waiting for my answer.

“It’s quite enjoyable, isn’t it? There’s nothing more delightful than watching my students grow.”

“Hahaha! A wonderful educator indeed. Well then, I’ll leave my daughter in your capable hands, Instructor Lee Hyun.”

“Leave it to me.”

“Now! Holding you all back serves no purpose. I’ve prepared a banquet for you, so enjoy to your heart’s content!”

“Wow~!”

With my favorite students in tow, the court officials headed towards the banquet hall.

As I watched them leave, I was about to follow when the king caught my arm.

“What is it?”

“I have something I’d like to ask. You, do you know that the movements of the social circles have been rather unusual lately?”

Unlike earlier, there was a shadow mixed in the king’s expression.

Is there a movement of social circles in the Deorent Kingdom as well?

But I thought we had nearly sorted out the social circles here?

“There’s a social group called the Asura Church active in the Deorent Kingdom.”

“…Oh. Is that so?”

I have a place to go right after catching Angela.
