Chapter Chapter 34: RATH 34 TL: Eevee (1/2)
RATH 34
TL: Eevee
TN: I swear to god, every time I try to type ‘teacher’ or ‘lecturer,’ my fingers automatically hit i-n-s for ‘instructor’…
5. Welcome to the summoners’ school. (4)
“Ah, but first, I wish to express my apologies to the teachers of Yugrasia.”
Although my mouth is repenting my hands’ actions are the complete opposite.
Rip! Riiip!
“You all worked so hard to write this for me, but with these bland platitudes it is difficult to describe the changes that Yugrasia has undergone.”
-Owner amazing! To rip such a thick pile in one go!
-Not going to lie, I was a bit worried.
As I tore the speech script that everyone wrote up together, I internally sighed in relief.
Since it would have been a case of public humiliation if it didn’t tear because it was too thick, I think I unconsciously put more strength into it.
Thank you my hand!
-But to tear apart everyone’s efforts! Too mean, too mean!
-Copy paste is the worst!
Doing your homework by copypasting off the N*ver encyclopedia(1) should end in middle school.
There’s no way that I’d simply repeat what all the other teachers had said, no?
The common perception that Yugrasia was the worst of the Empire’s Four Great Academies was already hammered in.
The only thing they have left to trust is the brand associated to the alias Nicerwin, if I simply say what others have said then they will think ‘oh, so he’s just the same as the others.’
Right now, I need to sell Nicerwin as a special for entering Yugrasia!
It’s an innate instinct that when you buy things, you go for the one with freebies, even if it’s slightly more expensive!
Now I’ve pulled in all the aggro too.
“To be honest, summoning, it’s something anyone can learn. As long as you pay up enough money then anyone can make a contract with a low-rank summon. Because of that, last time Yugrasia couldn’t even fill up its student quota. Why? It’s obvious. The equipment summoners learning swordsmanship in Arucis, the magic summoners learning magic in Marcis is much more efficient than learning summoning in Yugrasia.
First, you need to admit your wrongs.
If one tries to deny the events up to this point, it simply looks like excuses.
Getting held down because of the past is enough with the imperial princess alone.
“But this year is different. All the useless teachers have been removed. And to take their place I have brought in an active officer from the empire’s army, a contractor of an elemental king from the elven forest, and a contractor of a god.
The murmuring became louder. If nothing else, contractors of spirit kings and gods are rare throughout the continent.
And especially from a military perspective, one of their peculiarities is that one of them alone are treated the same as an entire battalion.
“But those numbers will be limited?”
“Yes, of course there are limits to just how many excellent teachers we can secure. Since there are less than half the number of teachers in Yugrasia right now than there were last year.”
“But won’t that affect the quality of education?”
As I spoke while opening the floor for questions, a number of parents began to ask a few.
Yes, this is how a speech should be.
If you just copy paste one-sidedly like everyone else then people can’t even be bothered to ask questions.
“And so, we will reduce the number of students that we will enrol this year.”
For a moment, a silence blanketed the hall.
It could have many meanings, but right now, it seemed as if they couldn’t understand.
“While the number of teachers are halved, the number of students we will take in will be half of half of our normal intake, meaning just one hundred students. This way, although the number of teachers have decreased, the quality of education will be of a much higher quality than last year.”
“Isn’t a hundred too few?”
“I don’t think a school can run with just that number!”
Hoho, these are all questions the other teachers asked.
Therefore, I’ll end it in one shot.
“It is alright. We have raised the tuition fees.”
-Owner, everyone’s looking at owner like a madman…
-It’s alright.
Innovators are normally not understood.
No other choice but for me to walk over the thorns myself.
-Way I see it owner’s plenty nuts.
What, if anyone else, I don’t want to hear that from this brat.
“I will confirm it. We will be more expensive than even Marcis, which is currently the most expensive school.
But, we will invest that much more time into our students.
Even outside of teaching time, if the students wish it, the teachers will always be ready to help them out. Already, all of the teachers of Yugrasia have agreed to live in on-site dormitories, and so even on holidays, we will not stray from the path of education. Because of that, we do not need any additional personnel. Only those who have the talent to be a summoner, those who have the passion for summoning, we will take only a hundred of those students.”
-Owner, the teachers are looking surprised, did they really make that promise?
-Ah, just the new ones.
More accurately I just had a set of dorms built for the teachers who had nowhere to stay, but it’s not like there are any teachers dumb enough to shout “lies!” at this timing? Is there?
And so, you all should participate as well!
-Owner, the parents’ eyes are sparkling, but the kids eyes are dying. Isn’t that just an adverse effect?
-Kids go to whatever school their parents tell them to anyway.
While the students are undoubtedly thinking “we’re dead if we go there” and “I’m never going to that school,” the parents are getting more and more fired up.
Fufu, even when picking the Minister of Education, the students have no right, only people with civil identification have the right to vote!
Education was always a territory to appeal to the parents!
The students just need to be forcibly awakened to such splendid education! And just when the time came for the final blow!
“Wait, are you really the person who is said to be the most knowledgeable about summons, the Summoner Association’s greatest researcher, Nicerwin Ain?”
-Owner, something smells. That’s one of your shills, isn’t it?
-Tch. Sharp one.
“Yes, I am.”
Since the metal bat’s already smelled the birch burning, why hide it!
On the way back from requesting the dwarves, I specifically requested the continent’s best detective agency to call in a specialist!
And like the specialist he is his timing is absolutely perfect!
“Does the book that is said to contain everything you know about summons, the Book of Summons truly exist! Does that legendary book that is said to have recorded information on even mythological and legendary summons, does that Book of Summons truly exist!”
There’s only one reason why I became a big-shot in the Summoners Association.
It’s because the beings I knew in myths are treated as summons over here.
And because of that, the legend that there was a book that included information on those summons, was floating around while I was unaware.
