The second year at Constel is coming to an end.
I wanted to at least attend the closing ceremony, but that was not possible.
If I were to go, it would cause chaos at Constel, and the ceremony that needs to be finished in such a short time would not proceed properly.
It would be okay if it ended just being noisy, but given the nature of the institution of Constel, there was a high likelihood that various pros and prestigious nobles would try to approach me.
"He plans to familiarize himself with them and secure a relationship, even if it's late. It would be even better if he could scout there.
To be honest, I doubted it, but Ellen, the student council president, and Principal Osprey came to me and told me.
Really, could it be that much? I doubted, but it was the first time I saw Ellen shake her head so firmly.
'When I was in the previous world, I wanted to go to places like school on purpose to hear cheers when I became famous.'
As expected, when it actually happens in reality, it doesn't go as planned.
"Ellen, are you becoming a teacher?"
I went to find Ellen, and I was surprised to hear her story.
Ellen was originally going to become a pro. So, she had been performing temporary tasks since her sophomore year.
"That pro, you mean."
"You found out about Eden's reality, didn't you?"
Come to think of it, that's right. Ellen was under Eden Pro.
"I've been thinking a lot since then. It's true that my mana is insufficient, and I wonder if it might be a bit overwhelming to live as a pro in the future, such thoughts." ŗ𝔞𝐍ՕBÊṧ
Ellen's weakness, a genius of swordsmanship. Extremely low mana.
But Ellen's eyes, saying so, were sparkling so much without any sense of inferiority, that I rather tilted my head.
"......Speaking of which, senior."
"The demons who invaded the school, you were also attacked by them, right?"
If Satan's demons were threatening me, wouldn't they naturally head to Ellen as well?
Was Ellen not in danger?
"Yeah, they came, but I took care of them."
"......No, is that the end of it?"
I narrowed my eyes at that.
"......Senior, you're not quitting the pro because you think you've reached your limit, right?"
Ellen has grown. I don't know whether she improved her mana or became stronger with that small amount of mana.
The fact that she knocked down those demons without any trouble is clear evidence.
"Actually, I've become interested in teaching."
"Yeah. Surprisingly, I might have a talent for teaching."
A variation of the technique 'One Strike' that Ellen taught to Aster.
"Of course, it was my cheeky little brother who completed One Flash, but I gave him the hint."
"I thought it would be too much to teach One Strike to my brother. It's a technique I created, not in any textbook. I never thought about passing it on to others, but as I did, it became clearer, and I realized what it meant to learn while teaching."
Well, I know Aster is talented, but it doesn't make sense for the person teaching such a technique to be incompetent.
After hearing that, I thought for a moment.
"Then, can you teach me too during this vacation?"
"No. Just the basics of swordsmanship."
At that, Ellen furrowed her brows as if she didn't understand.
"Do you need to learn the basics from me?"
"......Even after you defeated Belphegor?"
I wonder if this is how it feels from a third person's perspective. It's really embarrassing to say.
"Fine. Experience is the most important thing if you want to become a teacher in the future."
"Thank you. Then, can I come by every day from 1 pm to 3 pm?"
"Why is the time so specific?"
I took out my phone and wrote down the schedule.
"During the winter break, there are many people I need to learn from."
"What are you learning?"
"All kinds of weapons."
