The harassment from the female teacher - and the chastisement of the unserious student - ended with a gentle whip of love.

　As for the content of the lecture, the subject matter of the lecture was probably real issues, especially the reality that you have to see if you are a magician - the reality - whether or not you have to see it.
　It's a very good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

　It's not surprising that it was a blow to wake up the peace-loving people, if you ask me.
　I was struck by the looks on the students' faces as if they had been hit in the brain, and I was impressed that the female teacher was fed up. If I were to speak for my inner feelings, I would say that I want them to start over from the middle school. I'm sure the magic academy is in this state in the first place, so it won't change no matter where you go.

　Although it's not a new knowledge, Ars feels like he heard a legitimate lecture for the first time since he came to the academy. As a researcher, the lectures of the Kreisman instructor were also quite interesting, but if it was a lecture in a wizard's study hall, the female instructor would be the best choice.
　If she was also a researcher, she might receive a large amount of research funding from the academy.

　　So if it was her - her?

　Here, Ars suddenly realized that he didn't know the name of the female teacher who had been lectured to. Of course, there are titles that can be lumped together as teacher, instructor, or faculty, but it would be rude for the person who was given a drink to be nameless. Ars wanted to know her name in order to properly recognize the individual.

　And now, Ars and Loki are in the mood to be taken away and are following the back of the female teacher.
　The way they walked from behind was already intimidating.

　The reason why they are being taken away is because the female teacher asked them to come with her to the staff room, without knowing the reason.
　She didn't know why because she walked out of the room quickly and without asking questions, without caring for the two of us.
　Otherwise, she's someone you don't want to talk to.

　He's too cool. His eyes are too cold-hearted.
　He is too scary.

　He seems to have thrown away his laughter, saying that he doesn't need facial muscles.
　Unlike Ars, who is full of self-centered imagination, Loki next to him is also atrophied.

'Hey!　I don't run in the hallway. What's your name?

　A sharp reprimand flew like a bow and arrow. The female teacher who spotted the little runner tried to get his name, but when she saw the student immediately bow his head, she told him to be careful.
　The attitude of trying to get the student's name is seemingly excessive, but it's a great way to threaten him with remorse.

　Unbeknownst to him, Ars felt that a do-it-yourself teacher was the one who had been assigned to him.
　Assigned, because Ars had never once seen her at the academy.

　Suddenly--''

''Ars-kun, I wonder if you will be able to attend your lectures properly in the future. I've heard about your situation from the chancellor, so I won't give you any preferential treatment, but I will take it into consideration.

　He didn't look back at all, but started the conversation with just his voice.

'Well, yes. I've been thinking about attending your lectures myself, but there are so many things that take up your time outside of your own personal life. Besides, there are a lot of urgent issues that need to be dealt with.
Yes.

　Just one word. Not dumbfounded, not even a sigh. I can't read what meaning is implied in "so" with no reaction so far. Is it a pity, or is it inevitable? Or is he thinking of an additional task now?
　There was no inflection in his voice, so I felt he was shrugging it off.
　At any rate, Ars closed his mouth for a moment in order to know how the other party would react. Absently, she and Loki had to face each other.

　She also shakes her face, as if she can't guess.

You're not the only one. You should try to attend lectures whenever possible. It's okay if you're late. I know it is not very popular, but it would be great if you could join us. It would be a good stimulus for the students.

　Whether it was really for the sake of the students is still unclear. That said, as a teacher, it was an obvious argument.
　It's probably enough that the unit is not cited.
　Even though graduation is safe, he should be proud of himself as a teacher. You don't want to give credit to a student who doesn't attend a single lecture.

'Of course, I will attend whenever possible. Even though I have connections with the chancellor, I still feel that your lectures are necessary.

　It didn't satisfy his thirst for knowledge, but it was obvious how meaningful it was compared to the lectures he'd taken in his first year.
　The low hurdle, as if it had been set up, had made Ars say so much. And even more so, I can't just shoo them away when asked sincerely.

　However, it seemed to be certain that the female teacher's charge of the subject was still unpopular. They are under capacity, just as Ars and Loki were enrolled in automatic enrollment. From the looks of it, there are a lot of empty seats, and the number of students is not just one class, but less than half of them.

Thank you. And you two didn't show up for the lectures during the course. You were also absent from the first lecture, so you didn't even tell me your name yet. My name is Elaine Lungdbern. I specialize in magical minerals and archaeology. Archaeology is more of a hobby, mainly derived from the magic-related stuff.

　It was supposed to be a greeting, but instead of a handshake, this one was issued while he walked in front of me. I don't know if it's a wasteful and efficient greeting or just a rude one.

　But at this point, Loki raises a satisfying question, "The fact that your specialty is magical minerals and archaeology is different from the content of the earlier lecture.......

　Then Elaine's female instructor smiled wryly.

''For a little while, I was a rookie training instructor in the army.

　It wasn't that she wanted to, her tone of voice said, for once.
　She seemed to be a researcher, but the more she heard, the more she had a different background.
　And just as Ars thought he had never seen her at the academy, she had come to this academy at the same time as the Kreisman teacher.

　It's a personnel appointment that reminds me of a change in the academy's educational policy.

　The series of stories made it impossible for Ars to restrain his intellectual curiosity, which required him to peek at one thing.

You're going to be able to find out more about it.
That's my father's area of expertise. I'm mostly interested in magical minerals. It's only now that I can finally get some money for my research.

　I see, Ars gets it. The Academy of Magic is also an institution that can be said to be the best place to do research.
　The budget is also provided by the government, and domestic scholars sometimes come to find a place to study. Professor Claisman is a good example. He is now busy working on a top-secret project.

　It's hard to find a comparable facility in the country, though. In an official research institution, you need to be a resident researcher at a military research facility to be able to do sufficient research.
　Just as Ars thought before, she would be able to raise money for research. But you can't judge things by your own standards, the academy, the military and even the country have their own circumstances.

In order to call yourself a researcher, you also need to be accredited by a national educational institution.
Are you getting your degree?
'I've heard that you're something of a dissertation doctor, as it were, Ars,'
I don't think I've ever been given that title.

　As it should be, the name of the presenter is being withheld, so Ars can't officially call himself a researcher. But if you go to the conference, it would be issued on the same day.

'In my case, yes. Right now, I'm on the precarious side of being a specially appointed associate professor.'
Oh, I see. So that's where you're going to school.
'It sounds selfish to say it straight away, but you need a degree. Especially if you're doing research. Use your experience as a teacher.

　It was a tasteless conversation, but Elaine, the female teacher, was still young. As a researcher, she should be one of the elite ones.
　However, without a proven track record, it would be difficult for her to finance her research on her own. Magical minerals is a field that seems to cost an enormous amount of money.

　When she arrived at the staff room, she went to her desk at a glance.
　The faculty members in the staff room all looked at Ars and Loki as they lightly greeted them with a scowl. Even though they are students, the single wizard's prestige does not fade.

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　The atmosphere is different only in the staff room. It's different from the classroom because it's not a place for students, but that doesn't mean it's different from the chancellor's office either.
　It's also Sisti's residence there, so it's tainted with Sisti's air, regardless of the job.

　The staff room is the teacher's territory, in a bad way.
　When you think that the entire school's every move forward and backward is decided here, you are forced to refrain from saying or doing anything unkindly - you can't understand the feeling.

　So, if you ask me if Ars cares about it, I don't care at all.

　When she came to the front of the female teacher Elaine's desk, she pulled out a heavy attaché case from under her desk.
　Perhaps it was because she was too tightly fitted, but the small, crouched figure was very "girlie". Her curled back tugged at her tight jacket, and the shirt in her skirt was pulled out.

　Just as the shirt was about to be pulled out completely, Elaine succeeded in pulling it out from under the desk. It seems that she had a purpose in hiding it, and had stored it far back.

　At a glance, it can be seen that the attache case is kept very tightly. The case is so strong that it's obvious it has a dial-type lock and a magic authentication-type lock that is double-locked.
　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　She didn't even try to fix her disheveled clothes and opened her mouth somewhat excitedly.

'Well, this is actually a package addressed to Ars-kun. The chancellor left it in my possession, but after hearing what was in it, I kept it temporarily in my possession and would love to give it to you from me.

　It was like a researcher to explain what happened, but it was probably also a precautionary measure to avoid being pursued. There was a hint of apology in his tone of voice that sounded a bit like an excuse.
　Anyway, on the surface of the case, there was a mark on the address and other columns indicating that it was from abroad.
　In other words, this seemed to be something that was sent directly to the institute from outside the country.
