Episode 347
“Still, wouldn’t it be okay to stop by at least once… ”
Professor Garcia pretended not to hear Guyando muttering next to him and turned his attention to Lee Han.
“Everyone, if you want to look around the shopping district, I’ll buy it.”
“Is that okay?”
Lee Han looked at Professor Garcia in confusion.
Considering the atmosphere of Einrogard, it was not common for a professor to buy something for his student.
Can I do this?
“That’s not usually the case. But sometimes there are exceptions. “I’m buying it for you just this time.”
When Professor Garcia gave a glance, Nilia said as if she understood.
“I’m an exceptional student, so I’m making an exception, right?”
“no. “He is an exception because he is a very unfortunate student.”
“… … ”
Lee Han became depressed and followed Professor Garcia. Nilia felt sorry for no reason and tapped Lee Han on the shoulder.

Even on the streets of Grande City, where people of various ethnic groups came and went, Professor Garcia stood out.
Of course, people in the big city of Grandeur looked at Professor Garcia and ran away or shouted, ‘He’s a troll!’ They didn’t cry, ‘A troll has appeared in the city!’
Instead, they nodded with calm expressions.
“hmm. “A walking troll.”
“He was probably a wizard who underwent magic experiments or was transformed into a troll.”
“Well, you’re not really scared, are you? “I feel like my legs are shaking?”
“what are you saying? “Why are you avoiding my gaze?”
Even if people didn’t run away or cry, they couldn’t help but stiffen their bodies.
“professor.”
When Lee Han whispered, Professor Garcia responded as if it was okay.
“Student Lee Han. It’s okay if you don’t worry. “I’m used to people reacting like that.”
“ah. that is… “I wasn’t worried, I was just trying to ask if I could shut them up.”
Instead of worrying about the professor, a real student might be the one who shuts up those who insulted the professor.
But Professor Garcia did not give in.
“… It’s not possible.”
“Why not?”
“It’s not possible. “Take your hand off the cane.”
Professor Garcia spoke sternly.
See… No, I don’t know who it was, but I was worried that my student seemed to rely too much on strength.
“But they will keep talking.”
“I told you it doesn’t matter. ruler. The steak sandwich at this restaurant is really delicious. “I’ll buy it for you, so everyone come in.”
Professor Garcia pointed to a three-story building next to the main street.
There was an old brass sign with a picture of food hanging at the entrance of the solid red brick building, and there was a long line in front of it.
‘It seems like a famous store.’
And when Professor Garcia stood at the end of the line, the people in front suddenly began to kindly give in.
“Oh, oops… Suddenly there was a promise… “Please eat first.”
“I once became indebted to a wizard, and since then, I have developed the habit of giving up my seat whenever I meet wizards.”
“… … ”
“… … ”
The students were dumbfounded and at a loss for words.
What nonsense…
But Professor Garcia shrugged his shoulders. He had seen so much that he wasn’t really surprised.
“Everyone is giving in. Good for you. Shall we go in?”
‘There are times when the professor secretly seems like he’s from Einrogard.’
Lee Han took a step forward, thinking that Professor Garcia would be hurt.
As the professor said, the steak sandwich was delicious. There was a thick steak, well-grilled onion, tomato, and sauce between the crispy bread, so I felt a great sense of satisfaction with every bite.
Guynando looked with great respect at Professor Garcia, who entered this popular restaurant without waiting in line.
“professor. “You are amazing.”
‘This bastard has no sense.’
Lee Han thought about throwing the drink in front of him.
Fortunately, Professor Garcia did not get angry and answered with a smile.
“It’s one of the few advantages of being half-troll.”
“Can I become a troll mixed race?”
“It will be possible if I practice transformation magic diligently from now on.”
Professor Garcia supported Guynando.
Even if the motivation was a bit strange, Professor Garcia always supported any student who wanted to study magic.
“But I have no intention of learning transformation magic.”
“Wouldn’t it be difficult then?”
“Are other magics really impossible?”
Professor Garcia thought for a moment.
It was to remind me of what magic Gainando had learned.
Eventually, Professor Garcia remembered black magic and opened his mouth again.
“Even if you’re not a half-troll race, warlocks are blood… ah. no.”
Professor Garcia realized that he had made a mistake.
There was no need to tell the sad reality of warlocks in front of students learning black magic.
Gainando didn’t notice, but Lee Han had already noticed.
‘I understand. professor.’
Lee Han gave a knowing look in his eyes. Professor Garcia felt very sorry.
“… Eat a sandwich. Student Lee Han. Have some drinks. Would you like some vanilla egg cream? Or soda ice cream?”
“I’m really fine.”
Lee Han felt sorry that Professor Garcia was sorry.
Other professors were at fault, so why is Professor Garcia like that?
Of course, it cannot be said that Professor Garcia is completely without responsibility, but compared to other professors, Professor Garcia was no less than an angel.
“I’m so happy right now. yes? “Nilia?”
“uh? uh. Enjoy, enjoy. Are you happy? and. “I really enjoy it.”
Nilia, who was drinking a milkshake, answered in a panic. Thanks to her, she almost spilled her glass.
At that time, Professor Garcia’s expression suddenly changed.
“everyone. Please keep taking it. “I’ll just leave for a moment.”
“?!”
As Professor Garcia quickly walked out of the store, his friends looked at Nilia and said,
“What if I answer like that!”
“Well, that’s because you suddenly asked! “I had no idea!”
“Professor, you’re not angry, are you?”
“… Yo, Joner. Let’s switch places with me. “I want to sit next to Lee Han.”
“Stop talking nonsense and sit still. Gainando.”
Lee Han became curious.
Why did Professor Garcia suddenly walk out?
‘Have you found anyone you know?’
However, despite that, his expression was a bit stiff.
* * *
“Professor Craer. hurry. huh? hurry.”
“Oh, if you keep talking like that, I know you’re going to throw a tree bark down your throat!”
Professor Craer, the professor who teaches precognitive magic to students at Einrogard, spoke in an irritated voice.
Although Professor Verdus was not usually close, Professor Kraer’s temperamental personality was now revealed. He didn’t have the patience to put up with Professor Verdus’s whining.
However, Professor Verdus was no slouch either.
“I understand, so hurry up. “I can throw you away, so please find it quickly.”
“… … ”
Professor Craer held back his swearing and tried to pull the mountain branch out of the colic tube.
From earlier, I could see that the scope was narrowing down and we were almost there.
Now just one or two more…
“What the hell are you two doing right now?”
“… … ”
“… … ”
A voice came from behind that made even Professor Verdus flinch and shrink. At that voice, Professor Craer’s foul-tempered personality quickly ran away down there.
The timid personality that was forcibly dragged out began to make excuses by cursing the other personality.
“Go, Professor Garcia…” ”
“Won’t another personality appear right away?”
“… … ”
The foul-tempered personality came out again.
Professor Garcia asked, glaring at the two.
“What were you doing here?”
“I was fortune telling… ”
Professor Verdus hesitated before answering.
“What is it?”
“Collic point… ”
By pulling out a mountain branch from a birth barrel and reading the future, an excellent precognitive magician would read all kinds of omens through this birth pain point.
Professor Passelette Kraer, a master of masters, would be able to find the location of even one student.
“I was wrong! I was wrong! Professor Garcia! Please forgive me just once! “We are not friends!”
“My friend is a different person, not yours, so I’m keeping my mouth shut.”
Professor Craer fell silent. Professor Garcia’s clenched fist was scary.
“Are you looking for students with the promise of compensation?”
Professor Garcia had already guessed the situation.
Professor Verdus was one of the people in Einroguard who possessed the greatest number of artifacts, so it was quite possible to ask for Professor Craer’s help with one of them.
Although Professor Kraer’s normal personality would not accept such a dangerous suggestion, not all of the other personalities could.
It was clear that that foul-tempered person had readily accepted the offer.
“huh… ”
“What did I say last time you sent me away?”
“Meet me after the semester starts… ”
“But why?”
“even I did not know… ”
“… … ”
Professor García was speechless at Professor Verdus’s shameless answer.
After all, what good is a threat to a maniac who says what he wants even in front of a skeleton principal?
It was fortunate that I could at least pretend to listen to Professor Garcia.
“Go back. “You can meet me after the semester starts.”
“But then other people will try to share the time.”
“They’re not different guys, they’re different professors, and it’s natural for them to share time, right?”
“But my magic is more important than other people’s magic… ”
“Please shut up.”
Professor Craer’s foul-tempered personality whispered in an earnest voice.
Professor Verdus’ life may have been precious, but Professor Craer’s temperamental personality meant that his life was very precious.
“I really need to ask you a favor. Two minutes. “Please go back quickly.”
When permission was given, Professor Kraer quickly turned around and took Professor Verdus with him.
It was clear that he was afraid that Professor Garcia might change his mind at some point and wield an iron fist of anger.
Professor Garcia looked at the back and sighed.
I thought Professor Verdus wouldn’t listen, but I never thought he would move like that in just a few days.
‘… I’m sure other professors don’t do the same thing.’
* * *
“ah. You’re back. Professor Garcia. “What happened?”
Professor Garcia lied as the students looked at him with concern.
“I briefly found someone I knew and came to talk to them.”
“and. “Professor, you certainly have many friends.”
Nilia was impressed.
If you become a professor, will you recognize at least one person among the people passing by on the main street of Grande City?
“It’s not that bad. Will everyone wake up after eating? What would you like to drink? alcohol? coffee? car?”
“I’d like a car.”
“Good for you. “Let me introduce you to a good tea house.”
Professor Garcia took his students to his favorite teahouse.
Unlike the previous restaurant, it was located deep inside an alley, so it had a relatively quiet feel, and the scent of tea flowed through the wooden walls overgrown with ivy.
“I like green tea here. Everyone… once… for a moment. everyone. Please keep taking it. “I’ll just leave for a moment.”
“???”
As Professor Garcia stood up again and headed outside, the students looked at him with suspicion and confusion.
What on earth is going on?
