I Got a Fake Job at the Academy

Chapter 132

C132: Elisa Willow

Sorry for not updating for so long but things were a little chaotic these past days. There will be 1 more chapter in a few hours.

As she read Rudger’s class material, Elisa’s smiling face grew serious. She picked up her pen as if she had been possessed by something, brought a suitable piece of paper nearby, and began to write down the formula.

The paper was quickly filled with dense letters and Elisa instinctively waved her hand in search of another piece of paper.

Wilford, watching the scene, straightened out the papers that were still piled up so as not to disturb her. This is because if left as it is, Elisa would use even the documents that have not yet been checked as a notebook.

‘It’s going to take a long time.’

Elisa was now in focus mode. She, who entered that state, can’t react no matter what happens next to her because she was a wizard before she was the president.

Wilford shook his head.

She seemed to be having a hard time these days, so he brought Rudger’s class materials, but looking at the current situation, the afternoon work had to be postponed until tomorrow.

‘It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the president concentrate.’

Elisa has previously looked at other teachers’ class materials, but she has only had a momentary interest and has never been very impressed.

She has reached a level too high to aspire and enjoy something. But she’s changed a little bit since she recently solved the first test questions from Rudger Chelici.

Others don’t seem to know yet, but Wilford, who has been with Elisha for a long time, knew. Elisa, who has always been busy, has recently developed a new kind of energy, and she has more leeway.

It was all thanks to the new teacher.

‘Even so, his class materials intrigue her. I knew he was an extraordinary man from the first meeting, but he was even greater than I thought.’

Wilford, a former knight, didn’t know much about magic. However, he was proud that he had an eye for magic as much as a wizard because of his experience and his years of living and Elisa.

Even in Wilford’s view, Rudger’s class materials were quite high level but looking at Elisa’s reaction, it must have been more than he thought.

‘Oh, my. Is it because I’m old, too? I don’t have the same eye.’

Still, it was enough for the lady to be happy, Wilford thought so and sat quietly.

* * *

Only the sound of pen tips crossing the paper echoed quietly in the president’s office for three hours after Elisa finally stopped.

“Oh, look at me.”

After checking the clock on the wall, Elisa belatedly realized that she had abandoned her work and was too immersed in magic. However, rather than regret, she was full of freshness.

“Are you done”?

“Oh, I’m sorry. I’ve delayed too much, haven’t I?”

Wilford shook his head with a benevolent smile.

“That’s all right. It’s better for me to see that you look a little relieved.”

“It’s different these days. I don’t think it’s ever been like this before.”

“Isn’t this a good change? The president also needs time to catch her breath.”

“Yes, well, anyway……I’m also very grateful to Mr. Rudger.”

Elisa stared with pride at the magic circle she created based on Rudger’s class materials.

A magic circle that’s not drawn as a circle.

Even the way in which numbers were put into the figure to express power was quite amazing.

‘The square magic circle is not completely impossible. In fact, it has been tried many times in the past.’

But it never worked properly in her memory.

Wizards did not invest much in anything other than the circle when dealing with the magic circle. It takes countless trials and errors to get a proper effect, which resulted in no satisfactory results compared to the investment.

As a result, it has become an established theory that the magic circle is drawn in a circle because it’s the most optimized, and it’s the most popular so the development of the magic square was stopped.

‘But this is the finished product that people who went through all kinds of trial and error at that time might have finally reached.’

How the hell did Mr. Rudger Chelici find out about this?

The only thing that comes to her mind right now is the idea that Rudger is truly a gifted man. No. There couldn’t have been an answer other than that in the first place.

‘It’s amazing. First the Source Code and now the square magic circle. He could have won wealth and honor by just entering the Tower or the imperial family.’

Why did such a person come to Theon as a teacher?

Theon name value is not insufficient, but it does not mean that there is no position higher than Theon.

In Elisa’s eyes, Rudger was a person who could take a seat anywhere.

‘Nevertheless, he came here because he wanted to work as a teacher.’

Just teaching these valuable materials to students shows it.

There is no way that one can easily give others the path he has pioneered. Everyone can be selfish, and even if they give something, they want a corresponding reward.

‘It would have been normal for a fallen aristocrat to risk his life more for personal success, but he didn’t. Mr. Rudger, what the hell…….’

She was also proud to be in a place where she sacrificed for the students. As the president, she was satisfied that she was doing her best in Theon. So the more she compared herself to Rudger, the more embarrassed Elisa became.

‘What did I do when I said it was for Theon and for the students?’

She thought that she deserved a reward for her hard work, and that she deserved praise because she was in a position of sacrifice. What an arrogant person she was.

After all, she is also not much different from a human being who is deeply absorbed in her appearance for others.

‘I’m still lacking.’

It is meaningless for her to think on her own. What matters is, after all, practice. Isn’t it the basis of development to show what she’s decided with action?

‘Let’s take a step forward.’

With that determination, Elisa immediately took a document out of the desk drawer and filled in her name.

“President?”

“I’ll ask you a favor. Please pass the official letter here to the teachers.”

“What official letter are you talking about?”

“I’m going to change the academic schedule. I would like to hold the “Magic Festival,” held at the end of the semester, right after the second test.”

<Magic Festival> is a traditional festival that has shared Theon’s long history. Originally, the festival was still far from being held, and Elisa was planning to advance it with the authority of the president.

“Will you be okay?”

“It is more helpful to hold such a festival in times like these days. Other than that, I’m sure there will be people who will protest, but that’ll be fine. I’ll take care of everything.”

With a definite answer, Wilford no longer asked Elisha.

“All right, I’ll send the official letter right away.”

“Yes, please.”

* * *

Rudger, who was reviewing class materials in his office, tilted his head crookedly when he saw an official letter that suddenly came down.

“The magic festival will be moved up?”

“The president seems to be trying to hold the festival earlier than usual.”

At Sedina’s words, Rudger suddenly tried to say, “Why?” but stopped.

The atmosphere of Leathervelk has not been good recently, and it was spreading to Theon. It was not a bad choice to open the festival early and refresh the atmosphere.

However, he thought it was unexpected because it happened so suddenly without discussion in advance. At least the president he knew wasn’t someone who improvised.

‘Well, it doesn’t really matter.’

Even if the festival is held, it has nothing to do with him. On the contrary, the number of days with classes decreased, so it became more comfortable for him.

‘Although the number of classes is tight, there will be no problem thanks to teaching the square magic circle. At this rate, winning a bonus is a piece of cake.’

Thinking about the amount of bonuses from Theon made Rudger feel better for no reason.

He also had an excellent material called Magic Square, so the evaluation material of the students for the upcoming test was already done. However, when he remembered that there were still a lot of things to be dealt with, his excitement dimmed down.

The festival is he festival, and he hasn’t decided what to do with First Order Esmeralda yet.

‘It’s a lot of pressure to remove her in advance. If I assassinate the First Order without revealing my identity, the Black Dawn will discover that they have a traitor in the midst.’

And the most likely suspect would be himself, the First Order.

He already knew how they dealt with traitors so he had to be more careful.

‘When Esmeralda moves in earnest I’ll have to reveal her identity and Theon will take care of her. It’s not that difficult.’

The only problem was when Esmeralda would be moving.

‘I’ll see the opportunity. The moment when she will be the most active.’

Esmeralda previously summoned the supreme spirit of fire when there were many people gathered.

From that experience, the next opportunity for Esmeralda to move was fixed.

‘It looks like a suitable plate has been laid at the right time.’

Rudger stared at the official letter about the “Magic Festival.” His reason and intuition whispered at the same time.

-I’m sure Esmeralda will move during the festival.

But there was a lack of information and the part that was strangely annoying was when she would act.

‘Roteng Great Fire.’

Rudger recalled that she was a survivor of the great fire along with two others.

There were still a few puzzle pieces that had not yet been put together.

‘Everything must be done to perfection. In order to reduce the variables, I have to go to Roteng as soon as possible.’

As he thought so, he heard a knock on the office door.

“Come in.”

As soon as Rudger’s words fell, the door was opened cautiously and it was ash gray’s short hair that was sticking out.

“Hello.”

“Is it Rene? Are you here to get the framework?”

“Yes.”

As Rene walked into the office, she saw Sedina and nodded her head lightly as a greeting. Of course, Sedina pretended not to see her greeting and concentrated on her paperwork.

“Come closer.”

“Yes.”

As Rene approached, Rudger raised his palm and the framework floated over it. The white framework, which was made of countless lines of mana, looked like a crystal made up of magic

“Put your hand here.”

As Rudger ordered, she brought her palm to the framework, and the large framework softly shone and permeated over Rene palm.

“Oh, that’s it?”

“Yes, remember the composition of the magic formula. You’ll need it when you put the rest of the pieces together later. I won’t let you know even if you come back later because you forgot, so remember that.”

“Yes.”

Rene stared at her right hand while clenching and opening her fist. Contrary to what she expected, the process itself felt empty.

She vowed not to forget the magic of the framework that permeated her body through her palm.

“The process is over so you can leave now.”

“Mr. Rudger.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Well, I….”

Rene tried to say something, but she made eye contact with Rudger and closed her mouth.

“Oh, no. Nothing.”

In the end, the words that squeezed out her lips were all evasive and she immediately left Rudger’s teacher’s office as if running away.

* * *

‘In the end, I couldn’t ask.’

As she left the teacher’s office and trudged down the hallway, she kept looking back in regret. But even if she went back now, she didn’t have the courage to ask Rudger, so she decided to wait for the next opportunity.

Maybe it’s a good thing she didn’t ask now because his assistant was inside.

“Rene.”

“Senior.”

Rene ran into Erendir, who was passing by just in time.

“Hmm…what a coincidence. Where are you going now? If you don’t mind, why don’t we have dinner together?”

Erendir said so and stared at Rene with an anticipative gaze.

In fact, she was looking for Rene. Erendir, who recently couldn’t eat with her junior, needed to heal her mind but her expectations were brutally shattered by what Rene had said.

“I’m sorry senior, I have a previous engagement for dinner tonight.”

“……Huh?”

Erendir’s face changed, as if she had been struck in the back of the head by a hammer.
