After His Divorce， the Warrior Became an Assistant Professor at the Academy. 154

Chapter 154 – This Is the Difference Between You and Me (1)

***

“It’s amazing to ride a carriage like that!”
“I want to ride the golden carriage!”
“Mercenary King! Mercenary King!”

Plaza.
The golden chariot of the mercenary king Schrader was passing along with the chariots following him.
With everyone’s eyes focused on that direction, a man muttered, the only one looking at the bulletin board.

“Am I number 1 again this week?”

Adventurers that Queen Isabella keeps an eye on.
1st Barthal
2nd Theresa
3rd Müller
#4 Valentia
5th Aquinas

“It’s worth the hard work.”

Barthal grinned.

Bartal.
He was a rookie adventurer who was rapidly emerging in the kingdom recently.
When he first appeared, hunting the powerful dark shaman, the Lich King, was a big topic.

‘However.’

Bartal touched his chin.

“You can’t see Naru Kang these days. Why doesn’t the queen put Kang Na-ru in her mouth?”

Naru Kang.
Currently recognized as the best hero in the kingdom.
A person who once occupied the top spot on the list of queens for several weeks in a row.
At the time, it was to the point of frustration that I would never be able to surpass him.
But these days…

‘I did a ceremony together before, but since his head was getting bigger, I didn’t notice him, so he was rejected… ?’

It’s possible.
I don’t know the circumstances, but it’s good if he can’t be seen anyway.
Because you can easily eat first place.

He has to continue his vacant house robbing while the hero Na-ru Kang is gone.
When the first place is empty, I must strongly imprint Barthal’s strength and ability on the queen and the people.
Even if he returns later, he has to firmly establish his position quickly so that he can no longer surpass the No. 1 spot.
For the age of Naru Kang to end like this and the era of Barthal, the emerging strongman, to come.

“… It seems that Aquinas has passed his heyday. His physical abilities seem to peak and then decline as he gets older.”

Bartal laughed.
Kang Na-ru is cold because she has a competitive spirit, while Aquinas is a woman, so her ranking drop was slightly regrettable.

“She seems to be a pretty woman, but if her abilities decline, the only thing left to do is to get married.”

After the heyday of both men and women, they settle down in one place and start a family with the wealth they have accumulated.

And by the time you get married and have a child, your skills drop dramatically.
I also get belly fat.

At that time, it is a common life for adventurers to completely put an end to adventures and spend their later years calling famous places here and there.

But Naru Kang…
Even though he was married and divorced, seeing that his physical ability did not drop at all, he was a complete madman.
The peak lifespan of adventurers ranged from 16 to 25 years old.
How did that guy who didn’t even have belly fat take care of his body so he went well until recently?
Didn’t your wife cook for her when you got married?

A few hours later.
Queen Isabella’s coronation ceremony was held in the palace.

After that, to congratulate the queen who became queen in each occupation group, various adventurers who are usually hard to see were gathered in one room and waiting.

‘Haam, you are yawning. Boring.’

Barthal stretched himself and looked towards the door.
She was waiting in her waiting room, waiting for the queen’s call, when the door suddenly opened and Kang Na-ru entered.
Bartal’s eyes widened.

‘Is that person also having an audience with the queen like us?’

Naru Kang simply greeted only those who met her eyes, and she went and sat in an empty seat.

“… “

Bartal glanced at him.
Being in the same place with a big player made me nervous for some reason.
However, she herself is an emerging powerhouse who has topped the list of Queen Mentions.
She said she had nothing to do with it, she insisted on herself.

Clap.
The door opened again, and this time Aquinas entered.
Unlike Kang Na-ru, when the woman entered, all the male adventurers’ eyes were on her.

Bubbly.
She walked into the middle of her skirt, blowing the wind, and just as the seats next to Bartal and Naru Kang were empty.

‘Come to me!’

Barthal begged earnestly, but Aquinas went straight to the river and sat down without hesitation.

‘Sheesh.’

Bartal frowned.

‘I guess I don’t know who’s doing better.’

What’s good about getting stuck?
She is disappointed in Aquinas, but her gaze keeps on her.
She has been a little interested in her for a long time, so I keep looking at her face.

‘Pretty.’

Aquinas was in the middle of a comfortable conversation with Kang Na-ru.

‘Are you two friends? No way. They must have become friends now, right?’

When she held out her hand, Naru Kang even touched her hand without hesitation.

‘Fuck.’

What are they doing
My stomach is spinning for no reason.
If he had sat next to me, he would have done that to me too.

‘Hey, Aquinas. The main character of this place is me.’

She, who is the number one mention this week, is also the one who speaks as a representative of the adventurers during the audience with the queen.
Naru Kang is just an extra who watches quietly behind her, so why are you doing that?
Come and talk to me

No.
Bartal shook her head.
A smile soon settled on his lips.

‘I don’t want to wait, I’ll just talk to you first.’

Let’s teach the reality to that man who can’t even rank as a queen and that woman who can’t tell who to hang out with.
I’ll show you who the best in this is.
I will engrave in Aquinas what a great person I am.

“Now, everyone.”

Barthal got up from his seat and presented an opinion to everyone.

***

Time really flies.
It was already the coronation day of the queen.
I woke up early and dressed up with the help of Sophia and her two daughters.
They were very good at adorning men.

Sophia fixed her hair,
Selma picked out my clothes and shoes for her today,
Susan trimmed the hairs on my face, such as eyebrows, nose hair, and ear hair.

“It’s awesome.”

After a while, I looked in the mirror and saw a handsome man standing there.
It looked great to me.
I thanked the three mothers and daughters and climbed Cesia.
The road led to the palace, and soon the coronation and consecration ceremony was held in the spacious hall.

“You must uphold justice and push out inequality… “

Queen Isabella was baptized by the highest priest from the temple, and she was presented with a scepter by a representative of Parliament.

A crown on her head and a scepter in her right hand.
A gorgeous fisherman adorned with various jewels.
A golden orb held in the left hand.
The royal seal and the treasured sword placed in front of her.
Queen Isabella, who had all the symbols of her royal power in her hands, was very solemn and beautiful.

Ruler of this country.
From today she was the queen.

***

After the coronation ceremony, it was time to offer a gift to celebrate the Queen’s accession.
The tedious wait began with the audience from the envoys sent by the neighboring kingdoms.
I belonged to a group of adventurers, so I had to wait for my turn.

“If it is Sir Naru, you can meet him before the others. Would it be all right if I had an audience with the adventurers?”

It was the question of Maid Maid Marie.
She tried to get me to meet Queen Isabella early.
But I shook my head.

“It’s okay. I think it would be better to bury it rather than fry it alone.”
“Still, you have the stature of Lord Naru, but it’s a bit much to meet with other adventurers.”
“For the time being, on the surface, I want to pretend that I have nothing to do with the queen except when discussing important matters in the kingdom. It hasn’t been long since Her Highness passed away, and if I often see myself having a private meeting with the Queen, I could get into gossip.”
“Hmm… All right.”

She bowed lightly and left.
I want to run right away and meet Queen Isabella like a chimney, but I had to look like a warrior who only thought of the kingdom.
You may be going alone often, but you shouldn’t look like you’re flirting with the widowed queen too often.
If you can dilute frequent meetings by using other people as much as possible, you should actively use them.
For now.

For that reason, I asked her to be removed from the Queen’s mention list a while ago.
The queen says my name over 1000 times a week, how can I reveal it to the world?
I voluntarily dropped out for a fair ranking.
I even got her pregnant, but of course I’m unconditionally number one.
Even if you play and eat for the rest of your life without taking any adventures, you’ll be number 1 on the list until you die, right?
At least my name will be called even when I get ripped off.

Clap.
I entered the room where the adventurers waiting for an audience were waiting.
At the door, I looked around the room.

The best adventurers in the kingdom were sitting.
The number is twenty.
They left the center empty and sat on chairs, half on each side, without a table.
Each seated form is free.
Everyone was staring at me as I had just entered.

“Did the warrior come too?”
“I wasn’t even on the list of mentions by the queen, so do you deserve to be here?”
“Aren’t you angry?”

Some adventurers giggle.
Except for them, the rest are wary of me.

“… “

All eyes were breathtakingly hot, but this competitive spirit and passion is the driving force of adventure.
Not bad.
I shrugged and went to an empty seat and sat down.

The kingdom’s finest adventurers.
If I hadn’t had the title of a warrior, I would have been called a first-class adventurer like them.
In other words, they and I have almost the same social position.

There is no such thing as giving preferential treatment to people in the same industry as warriors.
Everyone is saving face and fighting each other over who is the best.

During the rebellion of the Marquis of Wistent, they also fought hard in their respective positions, and during the attack of the saintess, they worked hard to subdue the rebellion in their respective positions, just like me.
I only dealt with the final boss.

“Hey.”

I was sitting quietly waiting and someone called me.
When I looked up, it was Aquinas.

“Why didn’t you come with me?”

Dressed in her long-awaited pretty dress, she casually sits next to me.
I sprayed the perfume and it smelled good.
I frowned and grunted, but I smiled gladly.

“I thought you were attending with your colleagues.”
“If you asked me to go with you, I would have come with you. Stupid idiot.”

Hmm?
The gaze of the adventurer sitting over there was hot.
Do you see us
A look that doesn’t like something.
His name… Was it Barthal?
I’ve seen it once before.

“Touch my hand.”
“Hand?”

Aquinas suddenly held out her hand and caressed her hand without thinking.
She cries

“Did you cry a lot? I slept without lotion yesterday. Forgot.”
“Ig, put it on and sleep.”
“It’s because of you.”
“Why is this because of me?”

It seems that my flirtation with Aquinas made other adventurers very uncomfortable.
Everyone narrowed their eyes as if they would bite at the slightest blemish.
This, somehow, the atmosphere is unusual.
