EP.26 First class (2)
“You said I was bad at teaching.”
“It did.”
“But you want me to take charge of the lecture?’
“There’s nothing difficult, right?”
Raniel tilted his head.
Seeing that scene, Roselle opened her mouth.
“Anyway, from the second class onwards, it will just end with me summarizing what I said and demonstrating it. “You are my assistant in all the classes you take.”
“Um… then what about the first class?”
Roselle shrugged.
“The first class will be about the basics.”
“basic?”
“Isn’t there something you’re good at?”
He pointed to his disciple’s heart. Ran El nodded her head as if she understood the gesture.
“Ah, is that what you did at the inauguration ceremony of the next Mage Tower?”
“Okay, you can just show me that.”
Roselle smiled.
“If you just show me that, my suspicions about you will disappear.”
2.
The gray wizard, Raniel Van Trias, is capable.
Now, it’s a completely new story.
The entire nation knows his competence.
The knights of the battlefield know the strength of the name Raniel. Every time the Demon King’s army hears that name, they worry about retreating from the front lines.
Raniel van Trias is such a person.
Not just a wizard, but a person who became a symbol.
An insurmountable wall.
A symbol of peak.
In front of him, a wizard who has just entered the magic path or a wizard who has already reached the level of magic are placed on the same level.
A lover of talent.
A genius born of the times.
The genius had never taught anyone. There has never been a proper presentation or even a preview of the research that wizards dream of.
However, it only happens once.
He never stood on the podium.
The day he became the next gray magic tower lord.
He showed off his special skills in front of numerous wizards. He proved that he was the right person for the job.
and.
Dean Aaron was there.
Aaron will never forget the magic he saw then.
“·····.”
Aaron closed his eyes and recalled old memories for a moment, then opened his eyes again. Before his eyes is his own friend. When she turns her gaze, a girl with gray hair is standing there.
“hmm… I don’t think something was explained well. Was it okay?”
“···It doesn’t seem to have gone well?”
“Something, huh? like this? “It feels like I’m doing it.”
The girl wriggles her fingers.
Mana blooms and fades repeatedly.
“Huh…”
After looking at that for a moment, Aaron turned his head.
“Roselle, what did I just see?”
“It’s that kid’s mock class.”
“imitation?”
“It’s not this class. Since it’s your first lecture, shouldn’t you prepare a little more? “After all, first impressions are important.”
What else are you going to do here?
Aaron let out a laugh.
“Roselle.”
“Why are you doing that?”
“I didn’t originally intend to do this…”
There is an official document where he pointed.
“There’s a lot of talk about wanting to see your student from the outside. Originally, I was planning on rejecting them all. “No one knows what the first class will be like.”
“It might be noisy.”
“Okay, so I was planning on refusing, but…”
After a brief pause, Aaron opened his mouth.
“I changed my mind. “Let’s make it public.”
“···Why?”
“I really need to show you this. There are at least one wizard in this class… “I think it would be nice to see the lecture.”
Aaron smiled.
“Is that okay, Miss Rania?”
“I don’t care.”
The girl nods.

Since the student has already nodded, the only thing left is the teacher. Roselle looked at Aaron for a moment and reluctantly nodded his head.
“Do as you please.”
“Thank you.”
With those last words, they leave the dean’s office.
Aaron, left alone in the dean’s office, closed his eyes.
‘This is the basics of balance.’
Gibbon (基本) pronounced through her mouth.
Thinking of that, Aaron was immersed in a lingering thought for a moment.
3.
<Notice of new course>
-Mana Transactions (Basics)
-Professor in charge: Rania Van Trias.
A bachelor’s notice posted on Aplia’s bulletin board a while ago.
Reactions to it vary.
Outside, attention was paid to the fact that a new student of Professor Rossell, who had raised an ashen wizard, was taking over the class. All kinds of organizations announced their intention to visit Aplia.
Among them, those who had learned even a little bit of magic paid attention to the classes she taught.
Mana Transactions.
Those who knew the special nature of the subject also expressed their intention to visit Aplia. There are also magic tower owners mixed in there. Black was the first to express its intention to visit, followed by White.
‘Of course I will refuse.’
The professors thought as they looked at the statements.
The students thought so too.
Because there have never been public classes held at Aplia.
And, a few days later, a new notice was posted.
<Notice regarding Mana’s trading basics class>
Announcement that some outside guests will be accepted.
Also, it was announced that the basics of Mana trading would be taught in the form of open classes and lectures.
The professors’ patience suddenly ran out.
*
“What do you mean, Dean Aaron?”
The professors’ protests boiled over.
The professors who came to the dean’s office gritted their teeth and asked questions.
“Are you going to hand over the class to someone who has only been an assistant professor for a month?”
“That doesn’t make any sense, so what do you mean, you’re going to teach this class publicly?”
“You’re accepting people from outside! A problem that will lead to Aplia’s disgrace…”
The professors were in awe.
Just because he gave the class was a problem… but I was able to get past that just by looking at Dean Aaron’s name.
However, public lectures are different.
This is a problem that, if left unaddressed, will lead to Aplia’s disgrace. The burden is too heavy to entrust to a new professor.
‘What on earth does this mean?’
Originally, Aplia’s professors respected Dean Aaron. These are people who are fascinated by his beliefs. However, even for them, their suspicion is now greater than their respect.
“What on earth are you thinking? Dean Aaron.”
To that question.
“I didn’t originally intend to do this either.”
Dean Aaron opened his mouth with a laugh.
“But, I saw it.”
“···yes?”
“I saw that young friend’s class.”
“What is that…”
“Would you like to take a look too?”
Aaron sent a message to Rossel. Soon, two people came to the dean’s office where the professors were gathered.
One is the famous Professor Rossell.
The other one is the girl of rumors.
The girl at the center of this controversy.
Rania van Trias.
The professors looked at her with trepidation.
“Why did you call me, Aaron?”
“You know that thing you showed me?”
“Mock class?”
“Yeah, that’s it.”
Aaron pointed to the professors gathered in the dean’s office.
“Can you show it to them too?”
“···It’s not finished yet.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Roselle looked shocked.
But soon he opened his mouth.
“This place is narrow. “Let’s go to a spacious place.”
“···Let’s do that.”
The professors followed Dean Aaron and Rossell. Students’ eyes are focused on them as they walk in a row down the hallway.
Eventually, they found an empty classroom and entered.
The professors sat in empty seats. Roselle placed his student on the podium and returned to his seat.
There is silence.
In silence, the girl opened her mouth.
“Then… can I just give you a brief overview?”
What do you mean by outline? What we want to see…
Before the professors could respond, Aaron opened his mouth.
“Okay, do whatever you want.”
The professors looked at Aaron’s thoughts.
It looks like he is possessed by something. It almost looks like a fanatic. A firm belief lies in his eyes.
Where on earth does that belief come from?
What on earth did you show me?
The professors said nothing more.
They are also wizards. A wizard trusts only what he observes with his own eyes.
‘I will see and decide.’
The professors’ sharp arguments are directed at the girl standing on the podium. These eyes are determined not to miss a single mistake.
“hmm.”
The girl receiving that gaze is indifferent.
“I’d guess about thirty minutes.”
The main focus of the class is mana trading and balance.
A spell that allows trading with stars. What is the principle of the spell that is the basis of all spells?
Although it is the most basic.
Few people understand the law, but few understand the principle.
What the girl will say is that principle.
The girl pronounces the most basic things. Pronounce it, but don’t stop at just pronouncing it.
Sarah.
The girl’s fingers sweep through the air.
Mana blooms along the path that the finger took.
“·····.”
5 minutes passed.
The professors’ narrow eyes gradually open.
“ah.”
10 minutes passed.
Someone let out an exclamation.
“Oh, just a moment.”
“Me too, just for a moment….”
15 minutes passed.
The professors took out their notes. The person without a note takes off his robe and begins writing on it.
“·····.”
“······.”
20, 25 minutes passed.
Only the girl’s voice and crunching sounds echo.
“That is all.”
30 minutes passed.
“······.”
None of the professors opened their mouths.
Their eyes twitch slightly. Eventually, their eyes turn from the girl to Aaron.
“Did you see it?”
Aaron shrugs.
“I would know if I saw it.”
He said.
“Why did I turn this class into a public lecture?”
No professor questioned that statement.
4.
On the day of the lecture, Aplia is crowded with outsiders.
They were only allowed to take the road to the main hall under the strict control of the knights.
Students are seated in the main auditorium.
Professors take their seats behind the students who are seated in the front row. After that, guests from outside are seated.
Aplia’s main auditorium is spacious.
The wizards who filled the large auditorium waited for the lecture to begin. The reporters await the appearance of Professor Rossell’s adopted daughter, Rania Van Trias.
A rumbling noise.
The sound of collars rubbing and rustling.
Among the noises, someone walks in.
The first thing that catches your eye is the gray hair.
That hair reminiscent of a gray wizard.
The gaze that had been directed at the hair then turned to the girl’s face. Pure white face, blue eyes. A girl with an elegant appearance stands on the podium.
The movement is calm.
There is no sign of nervousness.
Standing on the podium, she glances at those gathered in the auditorium. That gaze is also calm. There is no shaking.
“Nice to meet you.”
A short word.
“I am Rania, an assistant professor at Aplia Academy, and in charge of the basics of mana trading.”
Standing on a podium with a loudspeaker circuit, her voice spreads throughout the auditorium. Attention was drawn to that voice. There is silence.
“From now on.”
In that silence, the girl opened her mouth.
“I will begin the basic class on mana trading.”
match.
One round of applause.
“Balance.”
Starlight filled the auditorium.
A word from the author (author review)
Originally, I was thinking about doing a little more build-up.
It seems like things are a little slow these days.
I completely hit it.
