I Became an Unknown Professor at the Academy

[London’s bustling streets]

Big Ben and the old Parliament building across the Thames River.

A brief moment of rest after a busy morning and afternoon.

Clink.

From the 32nd round to the finals, High Priest Robel, who had been officiating the matches, was enjoying some fresh milk tea in his personal office, basking in the warm sunlight.

“Hmm~ I couldn’t be happier now that those good-for-nothing lucky bastards have finally backed off.”

The followers of the God of Luck, who would always show up like rats and cause trouble wherever they went. However, after a certain incident that was broadcast to the world a few weeks ago, the number of their meddling and interference has drastically decreased.

If it was ten out of ten before, it’s now two out of ten, and even then, it’s very passive. Thanks to this, the stress levels of the priests and paladins sent out have decreased significantly.

“Hmm~ I wish the clergy meeting would start soon.”

Eight years, no, nine years now.

Since the respected Executor stopped her external activities and secluded themselves in a small country called South Korea, the lucky bastards and other miscellaneous trash who had been watching from the sidelines finally stopped stirring up trouble.

They would still bow their heads with a people-pleasing smile, but behind the scenes, they would spread all sorts of rumors and cause trouble.

In reality, there were various conflicts around the world before the friction with the Arena Academy. But after the Arena Academy incident, where the followers of the God of Luck admitted their fault, no, after they declared defeat and begged for mercy, the endless rumors suddenly disappeared like a lie.

And the videos from a few days ago and yesterday put an end to the respected Executor’s seclusion of nine years.

It wasn’t a high-ranker between 51st and 99th place, but Ben Stiller, who consistently maintained a ranking within the top 20, an undeniably skilled individual. No, it would be right to call it astonishing, no, it would be more appropriate to call it marvelous. In reality, they still haven’t figured out what ability he used.

High Priest Robel, along with the other high-ranking priests, knew the truth behind the Executor’s seclusion. Additionally, they also knew how fiercely the Executor had lived their life according to the will of the God.

In reality, they only met during the clergy meetings, but every time, they would meet a beautiful appearance that seemed to have been carved from winter and eyes like a deep lake that didn’t show even a hint of emotion.

That’s why they cheered.

The Executor, who would always look at them with a gaze as cold as the wind blowing in the dead of winter and a voice as dry as if they didn’t have even a shred of emotion, fell in love.

The identity of her beloved wasn’t revealed, but High Priest Robel thought that since the respected Executor fell in love with them, they must be a decent person. Above all, their God officially permitted it.

But High Priest Robel, who watched yesterday’s video on NewTube, was purely shocked.

In terms of might, they might be similar to their Executor, but in terms of appearance, their Executor was undoubtedly more outstanding.

But as they say, above the heavens is another heaven.

“It’s only natural that the Executor fell in love with them.”

Yesterday’s video not only allowed them to open their eyes but also made the last-ditch efforts of the miscellaneous trash disappear. Thanks to this, they were able to enjoy this sweet teatime.

Beep──!!

High Priest Robel, who was savoring this rare leisure time, cried out loudly as his smartwatch, which had been silent for a long time, started beeping.

[(ᗒᗣᗥ)՞Emergency!! Emergency!! Mobilize all personnel to block the temple entrance as quickly as possible!!]

[(」°ロ°)」Ah,openthewayforthechildren(photo)]

High Priest Robel, who had been enjoying his leisure time, had to get up from his seat due to the sudden notification.

[Harrods Department Store]

“Hey… Stop overthinking and just buy both of them!”

“But then it won’t seem like I put enough thought into it.”

“Ugh, ugh!”

Baek Hana stared intently at the handkerchiefs displayed in the glass case, while Edyn watched her from the side, drumming her chest anxiously.

“Mis… Miss?”

At that moment, the store manager, who had been quietly observing Baek Hana since she entered the store, cautiously approached and spoke.

“Handkerchiefs are also considered consumables, so many customers buy two as a gift.”

“Hmm…”

Baek Hana furrowed her brow slightly at the manager’s words. She knew very well that the person she wanted to gift this to would treasure it and keep it safe, not use it.

If they used it, she wouldn’t have hesitated to buy multiple handkerchiefs.

In any case, due to this reason and the fact that they didn’t sell high-quality lens cloths separately, she decided to go with handkerchiefs.

‘Black with gold thread… This would also suit him…’

Baek Hana looked at the handkerchief right next to it, with the same pattern embroidered on a white background with gold thread.

‘White is too eye-catching… But black might look too dark…’

As Baek Hana’s indecision grew, Edyn’s impatience increased.

Click, click.

Unlike Edyn, who was getting more and more frustrated, Nam Seo-hee was enjoying the moment, taking countless photos of Baek Hana from various angles.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah…”

“Nayoung is too weak.”

-Beep!!

Maria, who was taking care of Nayoung, exhausted from her social anxiety and long walk, and Nayoung, who were a little distance away, heard the beep from Maria’s smartwatch.

“Is it the Executor?”

Besides, no one else came to mind to contact, so Maria quickly raised her wrist to check her smartwatch.

[ヽ(≧Д≦)ノSpecial mission!! Come to the London branch with the cute Wolf right now!!]

[(；⌣̀_⌣́) I trust Maria.]

[ (╥_╥) If you’re late, I’ll die, and Maria’s allowance will also die…. ]

Maria blinked her eyes several times and rubbed them with the back of her hand. But the message on the smartwatch remained unchanged.

‘No.’

Through the message, she roughly understood the situation.

‘…Why my allowance?’

Even without the last message, she naturally intended to follow the will of the God she respected and revered. However, the additional message at the end caused a slight rebellious feeling to stir in her blind faith.

‘Why did you make such a rash decision without a plan…’

Maria sighed with a hint of emotion. Then, she operated her smartwatch to locate the London branch.

‘It’s a bit far.’

Even if they drove, it would take 20 minutes.

From the attached expressions, the situation seemed quite urgent. The problem was that no matter how urgent the situation was over there, there was no way to shorten the time on this side.

‘If Hana ran directly, it might be possible…’

No, that would be difficult too. In the first place, ability manifestation outside of the gates is strictly prohibited for unauthorized personnel. There’s no reason to do that anyway.

“I’ll have this.”

“Yes, yes!!!”

If there was anything fortunate, it was that their friend’s long and arduous deliberation had come to an end.

“Thank you.”

“I’m honored.”

“…”

As the store manager held their hand and smiled brightly, Baek Hana tilted her head and returned to her friends.

“It’s a good thing we came here last.”

“Hehe… I’m sorry.”

“Don’t smile, you bitch! If it weren’t for you, I’d really…”

“After what you did to Hana.”

“Kkkk!! I, I meant it’s fine!”

“It’s not fine with just one!”

“You’re so stingy.”

“Stingy!!”

“What’s with you two?”

As music played through the speakers and the two friends bickered happily, the car steadily made its way to the destination.

“We’ve arrived!!”

“Already? What? What’s this? It’s not the hotel.”

Edyn brought her forehead to the window, frowning.

“Damn… Why are we going to the temple when we came out to play?”

“Hehe, can you two stay in the car? Hana? I’m sorry, but can you come with me for a bit?”

“Huh? Oh, okay.”

“Thank you.”

As Maria got out of the car with a smile, Baek Hana followed her out. And naturally, Nam Seo-hee got out of the car behind her, and the fairy who just wanted to go outside also followed.

“I’m not going!! I absolutely won’t go!!”

“Hehe, then can you watch the car for me?!”

“Huh? No, hey?!”

Edyn jumped out of the car and called out to Nayoung, who was walking towards the temple, but Nayoung didn’t even turn back and continued following the other sisters.

“I’m not going. Hmm. That’s that.”

Edyn glanced at the exhausted Nayoung, who had collapsed.

“I can’t leave this weakling alone, right? Right?”

She found a suitable excuse.

Edyn leaned back in her seat and took out her smartphone. Just as she was about to open ‘The Guild,’ she heard a slightly rough sound.

Edyn’s gaze naturally turned to the window.

The door of a very luxurious-looking limousine opened, and a middle-aged man she vaguely recognized jumped out and opened the back door.

“I don’t know who this person is, but it seems the employer has a terrible temper… Phew!”

Edyn quickly covered her mouth with both hands and bowed her head.

She swallowed dryly and cautiously peeked her head out. And she could see the figure of her superior, following behind with a lowered head as if guilty of a crime.

“Nayoung… You’re my savior.”

At that moment, she vowed to actively help Nayoung with anything except money-related matters.
