Umarekawatta “Kensei” Wa Raku o Shitai

I was heading back to the school building with Illis.

The injury to Iris is about a short knife with a blush on his shoulder, and he seems to have received a powerful paralysis poison, but the treatment is over.

It was now in the shape of facing each other in the reception room.

"First of all, I'm glad Mr. Iris is okay."

"... Yes. Without the teacher, I didn't know what would have happened to me either."

Iris answers that with a top-down subtraction.

In fact, if Ilis had fought Azma properly, I wouldn't know which one would have won.

In the first place, she was driven by the poison of an assassin.

Though unintentional, there is something missing from Illis - an experience.

No matter how strong she says she is, it only assumes a battle within the set rules.

It would be less of a one-on-one battle to begin.

Either set it up and how to respond to it. It's a world where experience says things.

"Dr. Schweitz, can I check it out for a second?

"What?

"Well... I got my teacher, right?

Illis has a broken tooth and asks so.

Apparently, she was desperate earlier, and what she wants to confirm is my proposed terms.

Indeed, I was caught by Illis within the time limit - even with all that irregularity, only that fact is true.

Hmm, exhale small, and then I answer.

"Think about the situation first. Mr. Iris, you were targeted for your life, weren't you?

"It's... I know"

"If you know, is it important now that you haven't caught him?

"It's important to me."

"- So, you want to fight me?

Ask again.

If I could be caught, I posted a condition that I would fight Illis for real.

I fought the assassins in front of her to make her give up half of that condition.

She could have followed my sword with her eyes. [M]

But there is a decisive difference - I was going to make you understand that.

Iris snorts, clenching his fist, even as he hears my words.

"... Yes"

"Really? Sure, when you're answered that way, you'll have fulfilled your criteria."

"! Then......!

"Before I do, can I ask why?

"Reason, is"

"That's right. I'm a lecturer at this school no matter how much you say you're strong enough to be called" Princess Kensei ". I've just been on assignment, but that doesn't change. I need to know why I, the lecturer, really have to fight you, the student."

To my words, Illis showed a little lost maneuver.

But after a little silence, she looks at me with a serious look and says it away.

"I... honestly, I'm stretched out. Highly valued by the surroundings, Kensei is now called by the same name as Kensei... I haven't been strong since."

"You're not getting strong, are you"

"Yes. That's when Dr. Schweitz arrived. I really don't know what makes a kid a teacher - that's what I thought. But you were stronger than me. It's the first time I've really thought I couldn't win, albeit a mock fight. That's why I wanted to see what you mean."

"Well, I see what you're trying to say."

I understand why Illis wants to fight me - somehow.

As I felt like I wasn't growing up, a man of my age came along with his strength.

For her, fighting the man above strength with all her might is necessary to break down the wall.

That's not actually the wrong idea.

I've tasted the experience of not being strong without someone better than me.

I guess that's exactly the situation for Illis.

That was enough to understand what a girl named Iris was like, exploring strength without remembering, even though she was being targeted for life.

(... but then it was counterproductive to show the fight)

Fight me and she thinks she can take the next step.

I, too, feel that Illis is still developing.

That's not enough experience in battle, and if you cultivate something like that, it would be a good opportunity to fight people on a level like me.

I mean, my options are one in two.

Either help her grow or not.

(It would be easier for me if Mr. Iris were stronger than he is now...)

It doesn't seem that optimistic.

It would still have been good if it had been at a stage where Illis might be being targeted.

But here comes the assassin who's after Iris.

If I'm two days late, maybe she's not here.

Under the circumstances, while I was escorting England as a lecturer, I helped England grow.

(Exactly, I have a lot to do...)

Honestly, I get lost. I get lost, but it is also considered that strengthening Illis is part of the lecturer position.

And if you get stronger, you literally don't need an escort - that's where my role ends.

If I make it clear that this is the Knight who came to protect Illis, it is possible that she will contact the Knights in a moment and the escort mission will be lifted.

Still, if Remill is the Knight Commander, he's not going to say he can escort you without being a lecturer.

Looks like you should keep your mouth shut around there.

"Sir...?

You've been quietly thinking about me the whole time, and I speak out with an expression that Ilis seems worried about.

She doesn't want me to protect her, she wants to be strong enough to protect herself by herself.

I can't say it's not necessary. [M]

If you can protect yourself, it's because you've never been over it.

(When that happens... I wonder if I have one thing to do)

"... ok"

"Will you fight me?!?

"No, it's a little different. I don't know how many fights Mr. Iris is going to have before he gets the results he wants."

"Oh! Well, I'll do my best."

"Of course I'm trying, but I thought I'd be a little more efficient."

"... efficient, is it?

"Yes. Look, I'm not supposed to treat one person as a lecturer. But this time it's special. I'll give you an audition."

After thinking about it - I concluded that if we were to protect her beside the Illis, it would be best to settle for that kind of relationship first.

Either way, it's easier to stay close to Illis on escort duty.

Though I didn't expect to get close to her in this way.

When he heard my words, Illis was circling his eyes, but eventually he smiled happily,

"Yes, thank you!

That's what I said and bowed my head.

On my second day as a lecturer, I was supposed to be an escort teacher and become a master at the same time.
