S Rank Boukensha de aru Ore no Musume-tachi wa Juudo no Father Con deshita-Chapter 18 - The test to be a lecturer

Irene took me to Magic Academy.

Meryl came with me as well.

"If papa goes, then me too?", she said so.

As expected, if I was there, she would go to the academy.

The magic academy was in the center of the royal capital.

A magnificent building was built on the vast grounds.

After passing through the magnificently carved gate, I set foot into the academy.

Classes were held in the classroom.

We arrived in front of the principal's room on the fourth floor of the main building.

Irene knocked twice and then opened the double door.

The interior had a calm design.

There was a table for the reception in the foreground and a long desk for work in the back of the room. A little girl was sitting on the long chair.

While holding a candy with a stick, she leaned with her back.

Based on her appearance, she was a little girl about 10 years old...

"She is the principal, Marilyn-san."

According to Irene, she seemed to be the principal.

Is it really this little girl, or is she keeping that figure with the magic?

Some magicians with skills could do such tricks.

Probably the principal was also like them.

…If she was really a little girl, that was surprising.

"Irene. He is?"

"He's Meryl's father――Kaizer-san. He's going to be a part-time lecturer in order to get her to attend the academy. I can't decide on my own, so, I accompany him to get permission from the principal."

"Fumu..."

The principal――Marilyn stared at me.

"Actually, I've measured Kaizer-san's magical power, apparently he has more magical power than me and other lecturer..."

"I knew immediately that he isn't an ordinary person. He wasn't surprised when Irene introduced me as the principal. It's impressive. If he's an average person, he would say, 'Is, is she really the principal of this academy?' or some kind of boring reaction like that. The fact that he's not shackled by his own perception is the best proof."

Marilyn grinned and opened her mouth.

"You, are you going to be a lecturer at this academy."

"Eee~, well."

"How much magic you can use? In the five major magic elements, how many have you mastered among fire, water, wind, soil, and lightning?

"I've masteres all five magic elements"

"Wha――!?"

Irene opened her eyes behind her glasses.

"Someone can be called a competent magician by mastered one, and a first-class magician by mastered three, but, to master all of the five elements...!?"

"The only one who taught me magic is papa, you know~?" said Meryl, hugged my arm proudly.

"He taught magic to Meryl-san, a genius since this academy established.....? Kaizer-san is such magician...!?"

Irene said, unable to hide her shock.

"However, according to the rumor, I heard that Kaizer-san is the one who taught the knight commander Elsa swordsmanship...?"

"That's right? Papa taught me magic and taught Elsa swordsmanship as well. Papa can use both sword and magic."

"It means, he creates two geniuses...!"

"I see. There are more than enough experiences to be a lecturer. After all, he has already succeeded in training them."

Marilyn exuded a smile on her face.

"――Then, now is the time. Can you show us some of your magic? Our training ground, have the specifications that can withstand even the most powerful magic."

"I understand"

☆

We came to the training ground.

In front of me――there was a target standing like a decoy.

It seemed that it could absorb magic and quantify the power.

Marilyn told me with her arms folded.

"It's boring just to see the five magic elements. Show me some applied magic. The one you have the most confidence in."

"The most I'm confident in....."

Now. What should I do?

"Papaa~ Do your best~?"

"Oh Sage――the one who taught magic to Meryl-san. This Irene. I will study by seeing your magic!"

Meryl and Irene watched over me.

Alright, Let's do.

After I decided to show off, I faced the target.

Normally, I could do without casting. But, since the target didn't move, I would do casting to enhance the power.

"Oh fiery flame of fire, gather in my hand and scorched all!"

I raised my right hand.

"Absolute Burst!"

At that moment――the aggregated flames caused a massive explosion.

The ground around the target was greatly excavated like a crater. After the sand smoke cleared, the target had disappeared.

"Wha...!?"

Irene had a startled face.

"Hou, you've blown away the target, huh?"

Marilyn had a fearless smile.

"That's is explosion magic――the applied magic of fire magic. Very impressive. It's beyond the level of the lecturers."

"Is Papa pass?" asked Merrill.

"Of course. Let alone a part-timer, He's a level where I want him to be a full-time lecturer. Kaizer. What else the occupation do you do now?"

“Knight Order's instructor and adventurer”

"Hou. Instructor of the Knight Order. How much do you get?"

"Eh?"

"It's the salary. The salary you get from there. Our academy will give three times that."

"Th, three times!?"

"I won't hesitate to spend money in order to secure excellent human resources. A gem like you. It's a waste to give you to the Knight Order."

Marilyn seemed to try buying me.

After all, I had decided to become a part-time lecturer instead of a full-time lecturer.

Working for two or three days a week.

Still, the salary was unbelievable.

Perhaps, I would get more than what a full-time lecturer got. f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺

If someone became a full-time lecturer, that one could build a house in three months.

However, I had chosen to work part-time because of my daughters.

When I turned down the offer being a full-time lecturer, the principal, Marilyn asked me why.

If I was dissatisfied with the salary, she attempted by let me decided the salary.

"It's not about money. It's about trust."

I replied to Marilyn.

I couldn't afford to neglect the guidance of the Knight's Order that Elsa asked.

And as an adventurer, I had to secure enough time to move. If not, I couldn't help Anna's work. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

"I see. More or less I get it."

When Marilyn heard my reply, she smiled deeply.

And nothing more could be done.
