“Luke.”
“Five more minutes…”
“You’ll be late.”
Late? For what?
They were adventurers. Freelancers.
“You accepted the temporary professor position, remember?”
“Ah…?”
Right.
He was now a contractor, not a freelancer.
“This feels like a Monday morning…”
“Get ready. Yui is waiting.”
“Okay…”
He rolled out of bed.
“Ouch!”
He landed on his back. The pain jolted him awake.
He got dressed and went down to meet Yui.
As they were heading for breakfast, Luna asked:
“I didn’t expect you to accept.”
“Is there anything I can’t do?”
“You said the academy was a battlefield.”
“Well… things have changed.”
He was strong now. Even if the academy was a battlefield, he could survive.
“And there’s nothing else to do.”
He had been on a forced vacation. There wasn’t anything fun to do in this world.
Hunting monsters wasn’t worth it if it didn’t pay.
And being a professor paid well.
“So, it’s about the money…?”
“How did you know?”
Money was the best.
“And we’re free.”
This was his chance to become a salaryman. He heard they didn’t have many classes.
They couldn’t change the curriculum, so they’d just add their classes in.
He could teach whatever he wanted.
Magic with Yui, or combat with Luna.
Or he could bring in real monsters.
“What’s your real reason?”
“I’ll make them work and slack off~”
“”……””
“Just kidding~”

They were heading to a clothing store Lucia had recommended.
-You’ll need a change of clothes. Luna and Yui are fine, but… you can’t wear the student uniform as a professor.
He didn’t have any other clothes.
-Then, why don’t you get a new set? Don’t worry about the price.
So, they came to an expensive-looking clothing store.
It was full of frilly dresses and shiny uniforms.
It was like Gucci.
This is why I hate clothes.
Fabric was expensive.
He wouldn’t be caught dead buying clothes here.
“Welcome.”
A staff member greeted them.
“We’re looking for clothes.”
“Do you need assistance?”
He did. He had never bought clothes himself.
“Yes.”
He looked at the clothes. They were all frilly, shiny, and flashy.
He wasn’t a trot singer.
Then, he saw a simple black uniform.
“How about this one? It has a self-repair function like your uniform.”
It was perfect. The price didn’t matter, he wasn’t paying.
He took off his clothes.
“The changing room is that way!”
Changing rooms were for the weak.
He was proud of his body, even though it wasn’t his own.
Luke’s magicless body was stronger than a knight’s.
He posed and changed slowly.
“Charge it to Gemini Academy.”
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
“Welcome. That outfit suits you.”
It was Lucia. They had arrived at the academy and gone to her office.
“What do I do now?”
He had done as asked. He came. Now what?
“I’ll show you to your accommodation. Follow me.”
Accommodation was important.
They followed Lucia. It was a separate building from the student dormitories.
It was huge.
It’s too big.
He could guess how luxurious it would be.
‘Why even have dormitories?’
If they could build this, why did they make that?
That dormitory for the worst students.
It was worse than a tiny studio apartment.
They were trying to motivate the students by placing them there? It looked like a place designed to make people depressed and suicidal.
They entered the building. The hallways were wide, like a hotel.
Everyone at the academy received preferential treatment.
‘And it’s all mine now.’
“This is your room.”
“Oh…”
“…You haven’t even opened the door…”
“I was preemptively reacting.”
Lucia opened the door.
“Wow…”
Sand.
“It’s amazing…”
A huge bed, a sofa, a desk, flowerpots.
It was luxurious. Was this how professors lived?
It was better than the inn he had been staying at.
“I’m glad you like it. Some professors complained about their accommodation.”
How could anyone complain about this?
These nobles.
“You don’t seem to have any luggage.”
She must have thought he’d unpack.
“I keep everything here.”
He took out a snack and gave it to Yui, who promptly ate it.
“Spatial magic…?”
Lucia’s eyes widened.
“It’s the best skill in the world! Powerful and convenient!”
“Convenient, I understand, but powerful…?”
“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
How dare she insult his inventory?!
Even an S-rank mage!
The perception of the Inventory being useless was outdated.
Were there games without inventories? No.
It was a standard, OP skill!
“I can’t stand being insulted, and insulting my inventory is even worse!”
“S-sorry…”
“Be careful.”
He wouldn’t forgive anyone who disrespected his inventory.
“Shall we move on?”
“Okay.”
They left for the meeting room in the main building.
“I need to introduce you to the other professors.”
Was this hazing?
As Lucia opened the door,
“That will never happen!”
What was that now?
