(EP-138.1) Professor #1
138 – Fairy Professor #1
During my ti living in the kingdom, I often faced the threat of assassination.
So I was highly sensitive to the details, especially in the middle of the night.
Soone breaking into my ho was no different.
Even though I was in a more relaxed state after leaving the kingdom—
—Rustling, rustling.
“…….”
I was not so oblivious that I wouldn’t notice that soone had broken into my private room.
Seureureuk.
I grasped the Imp tail wand that I had wrapped around my arm.
If there was one difference between the who faced assassinations and various threats in the kingdom and the current , it was that I could now handle most intruders on my own.
I didn’t know who they were, but I’d let them taste the magic of a Rank 4.5!
“Hu-.”
With that feeling, I took a deep breath and swiftly opened the door.
Giiik-.
“Don’t move-!”
As I loudly shouted and aid my wand, the person who had been rummaging around in my room let out a startled scream.
“Kkyaaaak-!”
It was a sharp, piercing scream of a woman. But rather than the scream, what surprised was the identity of the burglar.
“No, you-.”
“Kkyaaaak-!”
However, screaming wasn’t enough for her. She started throwing things from my desk at ; tissue boxes, thick books, candles, cups, and various other items.
Syuk, syuksyuk.
Ppak.
Her throwing skills were remarkably accurate, and as a result, so of the objects hit my small head and face, causing to involuntarily let out a pained scream, “Hieek!”
‘It hurt!’
For a mont, my eyes flashed as I felt anger rising within . But what mattered most right now was calming down the agitated woman.
“Kkyaaaaaak-!!!”
“Wait, stop for a second! You’ll break things! Hey, don’t touch the bookshelf, it’s arranged in an important order!”
“Go away-!!!”
“What are you doing? And stop throwing things-!”
But she paid no heed to my words. Was it because of her panic?
Syuksyuk.
If this continued, my room would be in complete chaos. With no other choice, I aid my wand at her.
─Gamigin-!
Pajijik.
The high-ranking magic that even Demon King Solomon found difficult to handle flew like pink lightning and struck the intruder.
“Ack-!”
She fell to the floor in a strange flurry.
Then she started to tremble like a frog struck by lightning in a pond.
“Hu-.”
It’d gotten quiet now.
Or so I thought.
Clatter-.
━What, what’s going on?
━Who’s the brute screaming at this late hour?
━It sounded like soone getting murdered?
The doors on the fourth floor started opening one after the other, and half-asleep people began coming towards my room.
Seeing weapons like swords and spears in their hands, it seed like they thought sothing had happened after hearing a woman’s scream.
Finally, a woman with pink hair, holding a club in her hand, stood at the entrance of my private room.
“What are you doing? Who is that woman lying over there?”
She seed ready to strike .
“Ah, this is….”
How could I explain this? Looking at the situation, I looked like the perpetrator here…
But before I could say anything, soone said.
━Isn’t that Professor Stella?
━That’s right, it really is Professor Stella. Why is Professor Stella down…?
It was the perfect mont for misunderstandings. Perhaps they were already making up rumors right now. So, I quickly clarified.
“It’s just a personal matter. It’s nothing serious, so don’t worry about it everyone.”
* * *
With great difficulty, I eventually managed to persuade the crowd to return to their rooms after having lost their interest.
I was sweating, but it seed like ‘Trainer’ and ‘Actor’ had so effect as my experience points increased.
━What, so it wasn’t anything special.
━Let’s just go back to sleep.
The fact that it was late at 2am might have also played a part. Fortunately, the situation didn’t escalate into sothing more troubleso.
“Professor, you owe big ti.”
“…….”
Stella, who was sitting on the only chair in my private room, had been silent since earlier. It seed like she had no explanations or excuses.
Then, after a long ti, she finally opened her mouth and said, “Give a cup of tea.”
She was asking for tea after invading my room like a thief.
What a distinguished lady.
In my mind, I really wanted to report her for burglary or illegal trespassing.
The reason I didn’t do that was because I didn’t want to make things big. And I wanted to clear a personal debt with Stella.
Sohow, Stella seed more composed than I thought, so I boiled hot tea and handed it to her.
“I added so milk and sugar.”
Receiving it, she praised, “It slls good.”
Asking and savoring tea after getting caught rummaging my room.
Was this the cunning of a 132-year-old elf?
‘132 years old.’
Co to think of it, it felt weird.
In a world where magic and spells existed, along with the existence of beings like fairies and Imps, there were many things that didn’t feel real, including the existence of long-lived beings.
Just by appearance, she looked like she was in her thirties. Did she really live for over a hundred years?
Seureureuk.
I took the opportunity to observe Stella Bellhawk’s appearance.
Her short, neatly-cut, purple hair was very stylish, and her long, pointed ears peeking through were like a well-made make-up or so kind of prosthetic.
She was dressed in an ordinary outfit that didn’t look like soone who ca to steal stuff; a white blouse and a fitted, short blue skirt.
“You make good tea.”
Her amber eyes delicately trembled to a crescent. Thanks to this, the teardrop spot under her right eye was reflected in my eyes.
Overall, she was an incredibly attractive woman.
The words “teacher” or “professor” didn’t fit with her, rather she felt like a girl my age, but….
At the sa ti, she was also a ho invader who sneaked in my dorm.
“Why the hell did you do that?”
“Hm? Whatever could you an?”
“…….”
