Chapter 7:
At the beginning of the semester, the swordsmanship classes mainly focused on physical and strength training.
The weight of the sword was surprisingly heavy, and for the first-year students, especially the girls who were merely fourteen years old, many of them lacked the inherent strength to wield a sword.
Of course, those children who had already learned swordsmanship within their families were exceptions, but education needed to be based on the average student.
Philip’s assigned task was to supervise the first-year students running around the main square.
“... Wait, did they really expect me to know how to use magic out of the blue?”
It had already been three days since Sage took Luen, the male protagonist among the twin siblings, and went to the Great Plaza.
“I have no reason to meddle in this.”
Philip’s reason for intervening in the so-called ‘protagonist selection’ was to minimize the protagonist’s emotional distress from being left alone and to gather information through conversations with Illoxina.
However, unexpectedly, he became a victim of a sleep spell and failed to achieve his intended goal. To make matters worse, due to his forced resistance, he ended up spilling coffee and losing consciousness.
“Sob... Huh... Huh...”
At that moment, a male student wearing the provided workout clothes for the swordsmanship class passed by Philip.
“How many laps?”
When Philip asked, the student seemed too exhausted to even muster the energy to respond, but he held up four fingers, indicating the number of laps completed.
“Like I wouldn’t know if you’ve finished three laps? Finish all of them. Ziscard.”
“Tsk.”
The child, as if disappointed, stuck out his tongue and resumed running. Philip couldn’t help but smirk and shake his head.
‘It’s inevitable for kids this age to try to outsmart adults.’
It was during this stage of childhood when they believed they were clever.
If he just didn’t entertain them, it would end there.
Soon, other children passed by Philip. Among the sixty-three new students, Luen was taken away by Illoxina, leaving only seventy-nine.
Out of them, thirty-two students had enrolled in the swordsmanship class.
“... I’ve completed all the laps, Instructor.”
Lua, the girl chosen as the protagonist, boasted remarkable stamina among the forty students.
Perhaps it was due to her upbringing, spending most of her life playing and running with animals in the mountains, but her stamina surpassed even those children who had received some training within their families.
As her expression grew darker after being separated from her sibling, it seemed as if she had lost everything in the world. No one had bothered to explain to her the rightful reasons for the necessary separation from her beloved little brother, and Philip was well aware of that.
Philip forced a smile as he looked at Lua.
“Well done. And... I’m sorry.”
Sincerely, Philip felt a profound sense of guilt towards Lua.
If he wished, Philip could have clandestinely taken Luen and Lua and hidden them away somewhere else. However, he couldn’t bear to face the consequences that would follow.
As per the original story, the siblings would eventually have to part ways, but Philip couldn’t ignore the overwhelming guilt and responsibility he currently felt. He knew the fate of these two children.
As he gazed upon Lua, who was on the brink of tears, Philip sensed his carefully crafted plans from the past ten days spiraling out of control in his mind.
“I heard it too. That wicked woman who took Luen, the world’s most renowned magician... I don’t understand. Why would a powerful and famous magician like her take Luen? No one will tell me...”
Of course, Philip knew the reason.
In the game, after Glocksina disappears, Luen becomes a member of the organization known as the Genesis Society and emerges as an ally in the latter part of the game.
The two siblings were assigned two distinct destinies: “Holy Saint” and “Sword Saint.”
One of the siblings would become the successor of the Holy Seat’s power, mastering the magic of “Holy Energy” and gaining fame. The other would embrace the destiny of the “Sword Saint,” carrying on the swordsmanship legacy of Solvain, the first-ever Sword Saint of Privia Academy.
“... You will meet again, someday. I promise I will make it happen.”
With glistening tears, Lua stared at Philip with a mix of hope and uncertainty.Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled through Ñôv€l--B1n.
“... Really?”
“Yes, I promise. And if you face difficult times, seek me out.”
Lua forced a smile in response to Philip’s feeble attempt at comforting her.
“Thank you, Instructor.”
Philip withdrew his hand, refraining from touching Lua’s brown locks. He couldn’t shake off the feeling that he didn’t deserve such a gesture.
This girl had to endure trials and emerge stronger on her own.
For the sake of this world, and for Philip.
* * *
It was in the evening.
Philip was receiving a briefing from Diana Frenhall, the supervisor in charge, about the dormitory patrol duties in the faculty office.
Faculty members with combat skills, such as the Swordsmanship and Magic departments, were required to take turns doing dormitory patrols about three times a week to ensure the safety of the students residing there.
It seemed to imply that those confined within such frameworks did not even possess the qualifications to begin.
“... A sword that symbolizes moonlight.”
The emerging images distorted and crumbled, repeating the process of reconstruction. Through this, Philip gained something.
“Moonlight. Moonlight is actually sunlight. It reflects the light of the sun. Am I approaching this too simplistically? But all these images are metaphorical representations of the moon.”
After a few hours, Neria called out to Philip.
“Master, the sun is starting to set.”
“Thank you.”
Philip half-drew Neria and gently stroked her polished blade.
“Ah! I like that!”
For some reason, Neria enjoyed being stroked by her hand.
With Neria sheathed at his waist, Philip left the room and headed towards his work location.
Upon leaving the staff dormitory, a short walk led him to two student dormitories situated on a hill.
There was a certain distance between the girls’ dormitory and the boys’ dormitory. In the open space between them, there was a small building that resembled a maintenance office. Duty shifts began there.
“Ah, Instructor Oswald.”
A bespectacled instructor from the Magic Academy greeted Philip with a slightly uneasy expression. While not unattractive, his thick-rimmed glasses and acne marks on his cheeks gave him a somewhat introverted appearance.
“Hello, Instructor Perak.”
As Philip nodded in acknowledgement, Instructor Perak’s eyes widened, seemingly taken aback.
“How do you know my name?”
“Well, since we’ll be working together, it’s only natural that I should know it. Don’t you think? Nice to meet you.”
“Ah... I apologize. I suppose rumors can’t always be trusted. You’re much kinder than they say...”
“If you don’t mind me asking, what kind of rumors have you heard?”
As Philip cautiously inquired, Instructor Perak began to look apprehensive, trying to gauge Philip’s reaction.
“Well... they say you drink more alcohol than water, that you once broke the leg of a knight from a noble family, and that you nearly killed Professor Felicia’s fiancé and dunked him in the garden pond multiple times...”
Surprised, Philip interjected, “Wait, have I really done such things?”
“What?”
“Oh, no. I mean, well, you know... Doesn’t everyone sometimes get overwhelmed by anger without reason and do foolish things during their childhood? Haha. Now, I’m simply reflecting on my past mistakes.”
“I don’t think reflection alone will resolve the matter...”
“That’s... true. I need to put in effort to make amends.”
Philip maintained a smile while his expression hardened.
‘But this guy...’
Instructor Perak, despite feigning timidity and fear, was subtly saying everything he intended to.
After a brief silence, Instructor Perak cautiously opened his mouth.
“Um, don’t we have to move from the boys’ dormitory to the girls’ dormitory every four hours? If it’s alright with you, could you continue working in the girls’ dormitory?”
“Why? What’s the reason?”
“... During patrols, I sometimes come across younger students who need to use the restroom. It’s fine with the first and second-year students, but starting from the fourth year, they tend to... look down on me a bit. So, I thought...”
“I understand what you mean.”
When it came to the dynamics between naive male teachers and cunning female students, Philip was practically an expert. Especially if the instructor had a timid personality like Instructor Perak, he would unwittingly become a target of the girls’ innocent pranks.
Instructor Perak humbly bowed his head, and his gesture was tinged with a sense of embarrassment, to express his gratitude.
“Thank you, Instructor. I have a feeling that the students wouldn’t dare to play pranks on you.”
“Why is that?”
“Not because they’re afraid of being reprimanded... It’s because you’re so handsome, Instructor. They wouldn’t want to risk losing points by engaging in unnecessary mischief.”
‘That guy, he’s been like this since earlier...’
Instructor Perak asked the question, treading the line with finesse. His ability to navigate delicate situations was far from ordinary.
In all honesty, it was rather amusing. Philip had to stifle the rising urge to burst into laughter.
“Well, it appears that the time has come. Take care, and I will see you at 6 AM.”
Instructor Perak gathered a book and a short staff, and made his way towards the boys’ dormitory.
“Yes, take care.”
And thus, Philip’s first duty assignment began.
