I Was Afraid of Slaves and Abandoned Them 26

Chapter 26 – 026 So the Slaves

What Gloria took out was a letter of recommendation from the head of the adventurer’s guild in the dungeon city of Argon.

In fact, as soon as he heard the news of Yoo-ha, the guild leader expected Gloria to head to her academy, so he made a letter of recommendation for Gloria in advance.

Although she was more of a safety device, not for Gloria, but for her master, when she had no sharp tips, because she had no idea what an accident might cause.

The guild leader put his letter of recommendation among the items that Gloria had left behind, and it was discovered along with a letter while Gloria was organizing her items while camping on the way to her academy.

[This is a letter of recommendation with my signature. In particular, I am close with the head of the school affairs department there, so this alone will work well, so use it sparingly. Don’t crash.]

I wondered how she would cause an accident when the Master was there, but Gloria thought that since she had received the favor, she should use it.

“Hmm… A letter of recommendation from the guild leader’s friend.”

The guild leader, who had once been close to breaking through a dungeon together, was certainly a person whose eyes could be trusted.

In particular, he was able to take on the important role of guild leader in that dungeon city because of his good eye for people and his understanding of the situation of the country.

Moreover, according to the contents of the letter of recommendation, the woman in front of me was a skilled person who had broken through to the 50th floor of the dungeon by herself.

The head of the Academic Affairs Department, who had never heard of anyone who had recently broken through to the 50th floor alone, except for a swordsman, had no choice but to ask the woman in front of him.

“Are you the Sword Saint?”

“No.”

Gloria responded immediately.

She had seen the Academic Director spitting her words out of resentment towards her and her Mimi, so Gloria, without any remorse, let her lie go.

After all, things like the reputation of being a swordsman were good for him anyway.

In order for her to enter the academy where the Master is, she had to remove all the elements that might be in the slightest way.

“But. She said she was always wearing a helmet that covered her face, and her hair was a different color…”

Besides, she said she had fought that much battle, but the Academic Affairs Director looked at Gloria, thinking that there was no way she could remain intact like this.

Her face was not covered, and her hair was a light tone of platinum, unlike the swordswoman I was told her hair was ashy.

Of course, it could be dyed or something like that, but I wondered if a person who was even called the swordsman would dare to approach me in disguise like this.

Even so, I was suspicious.

She had the record of breaking through the 50th floor alone. She heard that as far as she knew, there was no one other than the Sword Saint in the present age. .

But the letter of recommendation was unmistakably genuine.

The seal specially treated with magic was definitely the seal of the guild leader.

Noticing the head of the school affairs department’s gaze, Gloria couldn’t help but decide to make a poor excuse.

She said, “I don’t like being stared at by others, so with the guild leader’s consideration, I always avoid people and attack dungeons.”

She has a face that draws attention to itself, I thought.

She was still suspicious, but in fact she had a letter of recommendation from the guild leader, so the head of the Academic Affairs thought that she couldn’t do it, scratched her head and told Gloria.

“Right. First of all, the story will be a bit long. It’s a bit much to stand here and talk, so would you like to go inside?”
“Yes. All right.”
“…Anyway, is that friend next to you also one of them?”

Looking at Mimi, who was holding on to Gloria’s sleeve with a very nervous expression and watching the conversation between the two, the head of school said that.

“Eh, you’re a colleague!”

She, like Gloria, was a penniless Mimi with no endorsements.

Although she was going to make a forced breakthrough if she had to.

“You’re right.”

Gloria also agreed with Mimi’s opinion.

“Let’s go inside first.”

Judging that there would be no problem with having a conversation since the primary identification was confirmed, the Academic Affairs Director guided Gloria and Mimi into the academy.

Although he is now retired, he was once an adventurer.

The Director of Academic Affairs could vaguely sense that Mimi was as talented as Gloria.

‘What the hell did they send people here for?’

“Now, let’s continue the story from before.”

“Are you sure you don’t intend to entrust that class to me? The purpose of coming to the academy in the first place was to become a professor teaching cadets.”

It’s a lie.

If it wasn’t about the master, it didn’t matter to the cadets digging in the dirt with their swords, catching monsters, or even swinging them around their necks, but Gloria knew she shouldn’t say that.

“Hmm. Certainly, if you are as skilled as you are…”

There are two main types of education in actual combat classes.

Fight between people.

Fight with monsters.

The latter is also the latter, but in the case of the former, it is a class that is rarely taken unless you are a veteran like Professor Carlton because you do not know when and where an accident may occur as the fight intensifies.

In the case of Professor Carlton, his skills are also his skills, but his ability to read the flow of battle was excellent, so he was a competent person who always intervened neatly before casualties occurred.

However, it does not mean that professors can mediate unconditionally just because they are cadets.

Especially in the case of prodigies who are famous even before entering the academy, there are always one or two people that even professors find difficult to deal with.

Even the cadets in the second year and above had a lot of outside activities, so the core forces among the core academy personnel were far away from it, so Professor Carlton was always in charge of the first year’s combat classes.

Of course, the chairman suddenly took him away.

If you ask if there is no one else to take charge of Professor Carlton, that’s not necessarily the case.

It is a situation that is unfortunate to ignore as a talented person who claims to be a solo breakthrough on the 50th floor has appeared to become a professor himself.

“But unlike how strong you are, as much as it’s a class, you can’t ignore the ability to teach. Do you have any related experiences?”
“…I had the experience of teaching someone wholeheartedly a few years ago.”

Of course, he did not teach swordsmanship.

In the first place, Gloria had never learned swordsmanship separately, because neither knew standardized swordsmanship.

However, Gloria, who had done a lot of fighting with each other outside the dungeon under the master’s command, replied that she did it with all her heart this time.

At that time, when she believed in her own regenerative power and her Gloria, her Yuha was not afraid of getting hurt and fought Gloria at will, and she had grown quite a bit.

“Mmm…”

The head of the Academic Affairs Department regularly taps the table with his index finger and rolls the abacus in his mind.

If such a talent had come during the professor recruitment period, they would have welcomed it with open arms.

However, accepting Gloria, who suddenly appeared at the beginning of the semester without any verification, is still too quick.

There is a fairly reliable basis for recommending a letter of recommendation from a guild leader in a dungeon city.

In fact, he already wondered if it would be all right to write some, but he decided it would be better to ask some questions.

“Can I ask you a few questions?”
“What do you mean?”
“I was wondering why you bothered to become a professor at the academy. Wouldn’t it be better to be in a dungeon if you’re as skilled as you are?”
“…An acquaintance entered the academy.”

In a state where she still did not know the master’s intentions, she did not readily reveal that she was a slave.

To say that she couldn’t proudly say that she was a Master is a very heartbreaking thing for Gloria.

Mimi’s eyes widened and questioned for a moment at her Gloria’s remark, but she decided to stay still, hoping that she would think about everything.

“If that’s the reason…”

To some extent, I understood.

He is a talented person who wants to come to the academy as a professor because he is worried about his acquaintances.

The head of the Academic Affairs Department, who had seen such cases a few times, shook his head.

“May I ask the name of an acquaintance?”
“…Your name is Yu-Ha.”

She couldn’t bear to let go of her words completely, and raised her words, but she didn’t seem strange because she was Gloria with a hard tone in the first place.

“Ah! That friend.”
“! Do you know?”

When Gloria, who had a consistent expression on her face, reacted with her eyes wide open, only then did the head of the school administration clearly understand why Gloria had come here.

‘Are they pretty close acquaintances?’

She said, “I’ve only heard that she performed quite well in the entrance exam.”

If she was active, she was active.

When I got the report that some madman tried to win by sticking his shoulder in and sealing her opponent’s sword, I wondered if there were any of these guys.

However, it was impossible to talk about such things in front of acquaintances, so the head of the school affairs department just covered things up.

“Let’s meet and share that story in person later, and after thinking about it, I want to do something like this.”
“…”
“I understand why you want to come here, and that you have skills, but it is also true that there is no proper relationship of trust between us. But I think it’s a pity that I just miss someone like you.”

The head of the Academic Affairs Department took a sip of the tea he had simply brewed for entertainment and continued his words.

“First of all, as I heard earlier, one of Professor Carlton’s classes now seems to be floating in the air. It’s not that there aren’t many people to take charge of it, but it’s also true that there aren’t as many people as Professor Carlton to conduct.”

The head of the Ministry of Education stretched out the index and middle fingers of his right hand.

“I will give you two weeks. In the meantime, I’m going to have a class, and if I don’t want to do it, I’m going to have a teaching job. Well… I also need time to select professors to replace classes, so I decided to hire them as conditional professors for about two weeks. What do you think?”
“Great.”

It wasn’t a bad proposal anyway, since it wasn’t that I really wanted to become a professor, but that the goal was to create a status that would allow me to be by the master’s side at the academy.

Originally, the head of the school affairs department would not have made such a proposal, but he decided that it would not be bad to trust the eyes of an old friend who did not usually use letters of recommendation, so he decided to go ahead with it.

Of course, she had no intention of having Gloria in charge of the entire class.

At least she was thinking of attaching an assistant professor even for two weeks.

“Then it was a story to some extent.”

Saying that, the head of the Academic Affairs Department was about to ask about treatment and other things.

“Me too! I can do it too!”

For some reason, she bit her lip at Mimi’s act of raising her hand while her pupils trembled.
