I Became an Unknown Professor at the Academy

[Chang Palace Guild Headquarters]

Bang!!

The office door opened violently, and a tall woman with long indigo hair stormed in, her face like a demon.

“Dad!!”
“I’m not deaf!”

The second daughter, Nam Seo-in, roared, and Namgung Min, with one hand behind his ear, stood up from his seat.

“You’re not deaf, but you’re holed up in your office when you’re called?”

Due to the frequent gates, not only Seoul but most guilds were busy with back-to-back schedules.

Moreover, if a gate of level 10 or higher appeared, they would need to borrow help from the Temple, as they were severely understaffed.

Namgung Min, the Guild Master of Chang Palace and a master swordsman, had to run around without even time to eat, and that was the case until yesterday.

“Seo-in. Your dad is human too!”
“Who said anything? Hurry up and come out… What’s that box?”

Seo-in pointed to the box on the desk, beautifully wrapped with a red ribbon, and asked her father.

“Swiss handmade chocolate.”
“You don’t like sweets that much, Dad.”
“It’s a gift for Seo-hee’s friend.”
“Oh? Then I’ll order it on the way…”

Swoosh.

As Seo-in reached out her hand, she narrowed her eyes at her father’s quick action of taking the box.

“Give it to me.”
“Either raise or lower your voice, don’t confuse me.”
“Give it to her and quickly go downstairs.”
“Hmm~”

Namgung Min raised his index finger with a very annoying expression and moved it from side to side as he spoke.

“This dad is going to see our cute youngest daughter today—”

Swoosh!!

“Ouch.”

Namgung Min quickly stepped back as a cold aura brushed past his neck.

“While everyone is working so hard, you’re going there?”
“What? If anyone hears this, they’ll think I’ve been lazing around all day?”
“I don’t know! You went last year, and you want to go again this year?! Absolutely not! If I can’t go, no one can!”
“Hmm… She’s just like her mother, with such a fiery temper.”
“I’ll tell Mom.”

Nam Seo-in’s eyes filled with a thick, sticky venom, and Namgung Min swallowed dryly, carefully opening his mouth.

“How about we both skip work together…?”
“What about you?”

As Seo-in’s hand, which had been holding her sword perfectly horizontally as if she was about to stab someone’s belly, loosened a bit, Namgung Min quickly took out his smartphone and sent a message to his eldest daughter.

[Me: BigSister. Going to see the youngest, want to come?]

[Nam Seo−jin(BigSis):Coming]

As if she knew the message would come, Nam Seo-jin’s reply came immediately, and Namgung Min chuckled and put his smartphone away.

“You’re coming too?”
“What’s the report?”
“Won’t future me take care of it somehow?”

It wasn’t like they were skipping work right away.

“…”
“…”

Nod.

The screams of the guild members at Chang Palace Guild Headquarters continued for a while.

.

.

.

“Ah~ It’s been a long time. Right?”
“Yes…”

The second daughter, Nam Seo-in, smiled shyly and leaned against her older sister, Nam Seo-jin, who nodded with a stoic face.

“You two, don’t wander around and come here. If you misbehave, you’ll get in big trouble and be kicked out.”

Although he said this playfully to save face, Namgung Min still remembered the incident from last year at this time, and cold sweat ran down his back.

‘Good thing I’m quick on my feet.’

Causing a ruckus in the front yard of a man who could turn a World Ranker into a wreck with the flip of a hand.

It was definitely not something a sane person would do.

“But, Dad.”
“No.”
“I haven’t even said anything yet?”

As Seo-in furrowed her eyebrows angrily, Namgung Min looked down at her with a ‘Go on, say it’ expression.

“That, handsome and amazing professor said—”
“No, it’s not happening.”

Namgung Min firmly covered Seo-in’s mouth with his hand and pushed her away.

“Don’t even think about greeting him or anything. Just quietly go and see the youngest. Understand?”
“Yes, I’ll do as you say. I’ll be quiet.”
“Tsk…”

Seo-in gritted her teeth and clenched her jaw, but Namgung Min and Seo-jin didn’t even glance at her as they followed the guide.

“Why can’t I just greet him?”

As no one responded to her, Nam Seo-in snorted and quickly followed the two, who were walking away.

The guide led the three of them to the grand hall, which was only opened for significant events.

“Please feel free to watch from wherever you’d like.”

The professor who had been guiding them bid farewell and left.

“That spot over there looks good.”
“It’s good because there’s no one around.”

When the two sisters chose their seats, Namgung Min nodded and said, “Go ahead and sit first. I’ll just greet someone quickly and join you.”

“Is there anyone to greet?”

The question was asked because it was understood that the main forces of the other 10th-ranked guilds, including the guild master and executives, were busy with the gate issue and couldn’t attend.

“That’s for me to judge.”
“Okay, Dad. Don’t bother and go quickly.”
“Am I just a bad person?”

Nam Seo-in pouted, but when her older sister, Nam Seo-jin, hugged her, she smiled shyly and followed her sister to the audience seats.

Left alone, Namgung Min headed in the opposite direction of where his daughters were sitting.

He approached a middle-aged man with a sturdy build and thick eyebrows and extended his hand.

“We’ve met before, haven’t we?”
“Yes, we have.”

The middle-aged man quickly stood up and shook Namgung Min’s hand.

“I heard you were busy.”
“Can’t you spare half a day for your cute youngest daughter? Haha!!”
“Phew, my daughter is already giving me a headache…”

Park Min-jung’s father and the master of Fantasia Guild, Park Seong-tae.

He nodded slightly at Namgung Min’s response, wearing a bitter smile.

“What brings you here?”
“I just came to say hello because I saw a familiar face.”
“Haha… I’m sorry. I should have come to greet you first.”
“No, it’s fine.”

Namgung Min smiled warmly and waved his hand.

“It’s just that the first person to see someone greets them. Why make such a big deal out of it?”
“Haha, haha…”

Park Seong-tae couldn’t respond and just laughed awkwardly.

“But I heard Fantasia Guild is quite busy too. You came here in person. I heard you were complaining, but you care about your daughter so much?”
“Yes.”

Even an ordinary person couldn’t detect the slight tremor in his voice.

“I get angry every time she causes trouble, but she’s my only daughter, so I can’t help but care. Just like the master of Chang Palace Guild, who is here today.”
“Of course, she’s a precious daughter I could hold in my eyes.”
“Haha, yes.”

Namgung Min smiled mischievously and extended his hand to Park Seong-tae.

“Then, I wish you good results.”
“The results will be achieved by my daughter.”

Park Seong-tae smiled back and shook Namgung Min’s hand, responding briefly.

After that conversation, Namgung Min turned and walked towards where his daughters were sitting.

“Who is it that you’re laughing and shaking hands with?”

Nam Seo-in, who was sitting next to Nam Seo-jin and watching the hologram screen in the center, asked.

“He’s the one who came up here recently.”
“That’s unusual. Dad usually doesn’t care much about such things.”
“You just don’t know him well. Isn’t he the most caring person you know?”
“Hmph~”

Nam Seo-in snorted and lightly punched Namgung Min’s side.

‘Hmm… This girl is getting more and more cheeky.’

It was a level of affection that Namgung Min couldn’t just brush off, but he maintained his pride and sat down with a nonchalant expression.

“So, when is our youngest coming out, huh…?”

Namgung Min discovered the densely packed text on the hologram screen and began reading each line.

.

.

This screen shows the two teams with the highest scores among the 1st and 2nd graders after the test begins. ※ If you want to see a specific student, scan the GR code below (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑

[Brief Rule Introduction!]

1. 1 point for the team when a monster is defeated.
2.

4.
5. There are 1,000 monsters.

20.
Hint: If you use the secret passage well, you may be able to avoid the gatekeeper and head towards the deepest part.

“Hmm, it’s a structure where a strong person can monopolize.”

As Namgung Min stroked his rough chin a couple of times and muttered to himself, the screen suddenly changed with a loud sound.

“Kya!! It’s Seo-hee!!”

Nam Seo-in, who had rented out the entire place, screamed with excitement, and the screen changed.

“Dad! Seo-hee is on the screen!”
“I know, so stop shaking.”

Namgung Min removed Nam Seo-in’s hand from his shoulder and sighed softly. This was because his youngest daughter was right there on the screen.

It wasn’t because he was upset about being hit on the side earlier, but Namgung Min quietly watched the large screen alone to avoid disturbing his concentration.

‘What’s that guy like?’

Namgung Min stared at the screen with a displeased expression for a few minutes.

Just like a well-written script, both the 1st and 2nd graders encountered different teams at the same time.

The 1st graders immediately entered combat.

And then.

‘…?’

Namgung Min blinked, surprised by his youngest daughter’s action of not drawing her sword.
