4 4. As a homeroom teacher




 The class was buzzing.
 Well, I can see why they'd be upset.
 If I were on the student side, I would definitely be upset too. After all, the minimum age for admission to this school is fifteen.
 I wouldn't be entering the academy, I would be their teacher at the age of twelve, and I would be teaching them swordsmanship.

(The Commander has a funny way of doing things, doesn't he?)

 I can't help but think that he is .......
 He's always pushing me to do things that I can't do, and this time, even though I've been told that I don't need guards, I've been forced into a position where I'm involved with the school.
 Of course--

I'm not sure what to say.

 A girl with long blonde hair slammed the desk and glared at me and the odds standing next to me. The girl with the long blond hair glared at me and the oddsman standing next to me. She had a neat face and a mature air about her - or rather, she was Iris Reinfell herself.

"Iris, calm down.
"How can I be calm?

 She replied to Odds' words with a resolute attitude. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.

You'll be able to find a lot of people who are interested in this. Is this school really that short-staffed?
No, that's not why I'm here. ....... This Dr. Alta, you know--
That's right! This little kid is your homeroom teacher? You've got to be kidding me!

 The odds tried to explain, but were drowned out by the students' voices.
 I'm supposed to keep my identity as a knight a secret.
 If a knight came as a lecturer, Iris might find out that the knights sent him and ask him directly to stop escorting her.
 If that's the case, there's really no need for an escort.
 Well, my setting looks like something that would appear in a book about a young genius swordsman ...... who trained in a faraway land. With the flexible setting of being a relative of the school principal.
 I didn't have time to explain it, though.

I didn't have time to explain it, but... "How can such a little girl be in charge of sword fighting and homeroom ......?
"I liked Mr. Wol better.

 I feel that the students' words at the end hurt him, but I also understand that they don't agree with him.
 I'm sure I'd protest too, and I wouldn't agree.
 But I'm on the side of the unusual now.
 If I am assigned as a lecturer, I guess they want me to be recognized as a lecturer somehow. ...... I should get a raise in salary.
 Let's put that aside.

I'm sure you can understand what I'm saying.

 He claps his hands to get the attention of the students.
 I'm going to be in charge of these students from now on, so let's keep it civil.

(...... Is it easy to be a homeroom teacher? I'm sure you'll find a lot of people who'd like to know more about this.)
So, let's have a game.
"...... match?

 I'm not sure what to do.
 I nodded in agreement. There's always the easiest way to convince an unconvinced opponent.

Let's have a mock battle between you and me. If I lose, I'll step down as instructor.

 --It's the quickest way to show your strength.
