「This way」

「Nn」

We were now being taken by Weena Rhyn to the staff room. Most of the staff was given private rooms or laboratories, but apparently, there was also a large room for everyone to gather.

She said that it was more convenient for them to prepare before class or for simple meetings. It really felt like a Japanese staff room.

「But still, you’re the first one to cause such commotion in such a state since the establishment of this academy, you know?」

「What do you mean?」

「Usually, people who come to the academy for an interview are nervous because they know about me. So, who would cause a commotion in such a state, right?」

Well, she was right. If they offended Weena Rhyn, they would be doomed. In that sense, Fran was in a lot of trouble.

「And I’m not going to let you do anything crazy in my presence」

「I see」

「I usually make people wait an hour for an interview, but some of them get angry and leave」

「You make them wait? Why?」

「We don’t need people who didn’t have the patience and enthusiasm and leave with just being neglected for that long」

I think they were just like normal people in interviews on Earth, weren’t they? I mean, I used to get that kind of treatment a lot when I was looking for a job. In large-scale interviews, they even made me wait for a long time. It was a combo strategy of making you wait for a long time and then pressuring you into an interview.

Well, there were also times when the interview process was prolonged and the company unintentionally made you wait. Anyone who had experienced those eras when companies were super dominant would understand it.

「Some aristocrats who brag about their great titles have no patience. In the first place, being an instructor or teacher is hard work, right? Not all kids are good and honest, and there are a lot of shitty brats out there. You have to have enthusiasm and patience to deal with them. Or maybe you just need the heart to go through it」

「Nn?」

Fran tilted her head a little when she heard Weena Rhyn’s words. I was also feeling a little uncomfortable too.

「What’s wrong?」

「Do you like kids?」

That was right. I felt uncomfortable with Weena Rhyn’s tone when she said “Shitty brat”. Amanda, who also loved children, would not have said it, and even if she had, there would have been a hint of affection in it. But I couldn’t feel it in Weena Rhyn’s words.

She seemed to really think of them as shitty brats. However, she then laughed slightly with a bitter smile.

「I don’t know why people seem to think of that of me as the Director of the academy… Well, it was also because I’ve made a contract with the spirits so that I was bound to the academy, but I wonder if that’s another point that they’ve misunderstood. Well, but I love honest, cute, and talented kids, okay? Like you for an example」

Weena Rhyn said so and winked at her. But the chuckle remained on her face.

「I can’t love every kid unconditionally just because they are a kid, right?」

『So, why did you become the Director of the academy?』

「There’s a lot of things an adult should do. Aah, by the way, you know Amanda, don’t you?」

「Nn」

I saw that she was looking through Fran’s files before she said so. So, I guess it must be from what was written in it.

「You shouldn’t compare with to that girl」
