I Got a Fake Job at the Academy

Chapter 103

C103: <U.N. Owen> (1)

I’ve already said the motive for my absence on Discord so I won’t repeat myself. Only 1 chapter today since I’m not fully recovered but tomorrow I will release 2 chapters.

Seridan, who injected Hans with cat teeth, poured cold water on the quiet atmosphere.

“Then I’ll go first! My name Seridan Iron Feet and as you can see, I’m a dwarf!”

Her white hair, tied in two ponytails, swayed up and down her as she moved. She had red eyes and soft brown skin and looked like a very cute girl, but anyone who knew her true colors would never be fooled by her appearance.

There was a monster inside her that was different from her cute appearance.

“My hobbies are development and invention! I love working on all kinds of things! Of course, I mostly like machines, but my favorites are gunpowder and bombs!”

“If there is any chance that Seridan will touch the gunpowder, be sure to dry it.”

‘Unless you want to die together.’

Rudger added a remark.

The fact that Rudger warned them explained how dangerous this dwarf girl was.

When Sheridan finished introducing himself, the next batter was Belaruna, who was looking around.

“Hello. My name is Belaruna Petana and as you can see, I’m an elf. My specialty is drug manufacturing, alchemy, and explosives. And if anyone is injured, I can treat them. I don’t have a doctor’s license, worked as a field doctor before.….”

Hair dyed in dark orange like the autumn leaves in the mountains, which was not properly groomed, was so long that it covered her eyes. And the most unusual thing is that she looks like a loose, crazy woman even though elves have intelligent and arrogant images.

In fact, it was not wrong to say that she was crazy to some extent, as she smelled the drugs she works on every day.

Belaruna has been treated like an outcast among elves so she escaped from the forest and ran away to a city where humans lived but because of her gloomy personality, she didn’t get along well with others, so she lived in the back alley as a doctor.

However, unlike her ugly appearance, her skills were real. In fact, there were rumors that the drugs she manufactured were much more effective than those on the market.

The magic recovery pills that Rudger often eats were made with the advice of Belaruna.

“Oh, let’s do our best from now on. Hehe.”

As she spoke, her eyes were on Hans and he trembled.

With this, three people, including Hans, have already finished introducing themselves. The atmosphere shifted towards the need to explain oneself.

Next up was Alex.

“Ugh. You can’t keep your mouth shut in this kind of atmosphere. My name is Alex and as you can see, I am just a commoner without a last name.”

Alex shuddered, took off the hat on his head and used his fingertips to fiddle with his golden bangs.

“I don’t have any specialties or talents that stand out like the others in front of me. But if I have to say it, I’m confident that I can do better than anyone else when it comes to melting women’s hearts.”

“And lying.”

Violetta added curtly.

Alex smiled and nodded at the criticism.

“Of course, my artistic work sometimes involves ‘falsehood’, but it doesn’t matter, does it? Until you get caught lies will be the truth.”

Alex the con artist, an exuberant handsome man with an exotic appearance is good at winning the favor of women by using sweet words, and excellent acting. He is also a natural liar.

“I’ve learned a lot of skills, but I can’t really show off to the people here.”

That’s how Alex’s self-introduction ended.

The next man to come out was a giant with white white hair like a lion’s mane.

Even though Rudger and Alex were not short because they were over 180 cm, the difference was so big that they looked two heads smaller than the giant.

In fact, even in this large space, Pantos was bowing his head slightly otherwise his head would hit the ceiling.

“I’m Pantos. Nice to meet you.”

“What? Is that the end of your self-introduction?”

When Alex asked, Pantos kept his mouth shut. In that delicate atmosphere, the man who came here with Pantos spoke.

“Mr. Pantos doesn’t talk much, so please understand. He has a very quiet personality. I’ll tell you instead.”

“Who are you?”

Hans looked at the man and asked.

He was a man of a strange atmosphere. He has a smile that looks like a good person, but he’s somewhat heterogeneous and looked like an ambiguous mix between a boy and a young man

If he dared to rate his age based on his appearance, he wondered if he would be the youngest among them. Except, of course, the dwarf Seridan.

Just looking at his appearance, he is a handsome boy that ladies like. His dark brown hair was well organized and he was wearing a neat suit.

“Oh, my name is Arpa. I don’t have a surname like you.”

“Is there anything unusual about you? And how did you get to know him?”

“You mean Mr. Rudger? Well, if I may say so, I’m close to Mr. Rudger’s child.”

“What?”

It was Violetta who asked back in surprise. She stared at Rudger, wondering if that was true.

‘Could it be that he had a child like that?’

“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I’m not married and I have no children.”

“But he just said…….”

“Just because he is close to a child doesn’t mean that is a real child. And the case of Arpa it’s a bit unusual.”

“That’s right. I am special.”

Arpa smiled and agreed with Rudger’s words.

“I was just born, so I don’t know much about the world yet. The reason I recognize leader as a father is because of how much he showed and taught me.”

“I can’t believe you were just born…….”

Everyone is looking at Arpa suspiciously but the unknown boy smiled and did not stop introducing the giant.

“Once again, back to the self-introduction, this is Mr. Pantos. As you can see, he’s very big and he looks scary, but he’s actually kinder than anyone else. Oh. And Mr. Pantos is not human. Mr. Pantos? Can you take off your hat?”

When Arpa urged him, Pantos took off his hat on his head and his hidden ears were revealed.

“You’re a Suin?”

Suin is a species with animal powers born naturally not like Hans who transforms into different animals. They are a physically superior race to humans, but even considering that, Pantos was exceptionally large.

“Mr. Pantos was born with an unusually strong body.”

“Well, looking at him, he must have had a tough job, right?”

“Mr. Alex is right. Mr. Pantos has been doing a lot of things because of his strength but the most representative of them should be whale hunting.”

“Whale hunting?”

Alex questioned his ears for a moment while everyone stared at Alex because of his overreaction.

“Ugh. Aren’t normal beasts afraid of water?”

What Alex said was not a prejudice against the Suins. In fact, the Suins live mainly in the southern part of the continent, in a land full of vast grasslands and deserts. They had a naturally powerful body but they were small in number and were especially afraid of water.

So the Suin people never lived near beaches or rivers.

But what about whale hunting? Wouldn’t he have to go out to sea?

Everyone stared at Rudger, wondering if that was true.

No matter what anyone says, the person who knows Pantos best in this place is the man who gathered them.

“Yes, that’s right. Pantos is a Suin, but he’s a little unusual and he’s not afraid of water.”

“Huh. Brother then it’s almost complete, isn’t it?”

A beastman who overcame the fundamental weakness of the species. In addition, Pantos looked much larger and stronger than normal Suins.

Looking at that thick forearm the muscle line is revealed on top of the extremely wide ordered clothes. It looked as if the muscles would rip off the clothes and pop out if he put strength into it.

“In fact, with Pantos power and skill he deserves to be called a hero among the Suins. But he doesn’t like it very much so Pantos gave up leading the clan and came out to the outside world.”

“Why?”

“Because there’s prey.”

It was Pantos himself who answered the question.

That’s why Pantos went out to sea. He overcame the inherent fear of water that the species possessed, held a giant harpoon that matched his size, and hunted whales in the stormy sea just because there was prey.

“Is hunting your specialty?”

“…….”

Pantos shut his mouth again.

‘You answered earlier, but now you’re silent again.’

Hans was annoyed by the frustration, but he didn’t show it. If Pantos shook his iron fist once, his head would explode.

Rudger went on to explain instead.

“Pantos likes to hunt huge prey. He regards it as his destiny.”

“Then how did you come across Pantos?”

“He tried to hunt me down.”

“What?”

Everyone was surprised by Rudger’s words while Pantos and Arpa remained unresponsive.

“Hunting? Brother? That big guy?”

“Yes. When Pantos and I met for the first time he came to hunt me down.”

Seridan asked, tilting her head.

“But Nari is not a whale.”

“Huge prey is a bit of a metaphor. Pantos wasn’t just hunting whales, he was just trying to hit something like a wall he couldn’t cross.”

In other words, the reason Pantos held the harpoon was to overcome the inherent fear of his species, confront the harsh environment and to go beyond his own limits by hunting giant prey that were several times larger than himself.

It is Pantos own belief and a kind of sublime ritual. Therefore, Pantos hunting targets were not just whales.

“It was worth it, because it was important for Panthos to fight against beings that could make him risk everything he had.”

“That’s why he’s here? Because brother is strong he’s going to hunt you?”

“Yes.”

Rudger clenched his head.

If so, isn’t this giant Suin just a madman?

‘No, rather than that, he said he was trying to hunt brother but brother looks very fine…….’

Seridan asked innocently, perhaps to solve Hans’ question.

“But Nari looks very normal”

“Of course. Because I was the one who won the fight back then.”

“……Wow.”

At Rudger’s confident answer everyone looked at Pantos and wondered if it was true.

Pantos, who was standing silently, said, “Rudger is right” by nodding his head slightly.

“Yeah, I fought with this guy. But this man was too strong. At first, I pushed him, but I was the one who lost.”

Pantos still hasn’t forgotten the fight. No. It was right to say he couldn’t forget.

He traveled the continent dreaming of a fight against a strong being and if he judged someone as a strong being he would fight them.

Thus he has won countless battles then he heard news about a wandering wizard. It was said there is a wizard who is so strong that no one can touch him recklessly.

At that moment, Pantos recognized the existence of a ‘prey’ that he could challenge and since he had a sixth sense that is far superior to humans he went to the wizard and started a fight but in the end was defeated.

“It was strong.”

Pantos calmly spoke of his defeat.

“Brother must have suffered too.”

“If I had to tell the story of that time, I would say that there was a bit of a misunderstanding.”

“Misunderstanding?”

“Pantos came to hunt a great wizard, but in fact, his initial target was not me. We just bumped into each other and ended up fighting.”

“What? It wasn’t you?”

What do you mean by that? So this giant man mistook his prey and fought with Rudger?

“Well, who was he originally going to fight?”

Belaruna was curious so she asked and everyone’s attention was focused on Rudger.

Rudger sighed and said.

“……My teacher.”
