For Ling, this is a place she comes to every few weeks. She also has a doll shop opened here as a communication point to keep in touch with Vita. But for Reinhardt,
This is my first time here.
After setting up the doll store's warehouse as a base for the transfer device, the two came to Thors Military Academy.
There are three reasons why Ling would accept Oribat's invitation to come to Tolista.
One is to help Olibat develop his own power.
The second is to use the Thors Military Academy as a springboard to intervene in the political circles of the empire.
The third is to investigate the movements of Valima, the Gray Riding God, who is sleeping underground under the old school building.
But Reinhardt didn't have so many considerations in his thoughts. Although he also had his own goals, he was mostly just messing around with Ling.
When the previous school year ended and the next school year had not yet begun, it was a rare short vacation for the instructors and students of the Thors Military Academy. In the empty main school building, only the dean's room was still unlocked.
"Long-separated greetings, Principal. My name is Ling Astre. We haven't seen each other for four years, right?" Ling, who wore dark trousers and a white coat, of course did not need to raise her skirt. She followed the rules of a military academy student.
In line with the etiquette of the time, he gave the dean a regular military salute.
"Haha, you don't have to be so reserved. I'm impressed by you, Class of 214, top-notch student Ling. I heard that you got the title of professor at Luray University of Technology the year before last, and you were able to accept the chairman's invitation to come to Torz.
It is a blessing for this school to teach." The old and healthy dean said cheerfully. He was obviously an old man in his late seventies (Van Dyck was 69 years old in 1203), but he exuded energy that was not inferior to that of young people. Master
There will be mutual induction between them, and it is easy for each other to confirm this when they are face to face.
"Oh, Ling. We haven't seen each other for a long time since the last signing of the Non-War Pact." The handsome young man with blond hair in a red dress is Olibat Lezeyanor, the current chairman of the Thors Military Academy.
, is also the eldest prince of the Erebonian Empire. Privately speaking, it can be considered a partnership, but on the surface, he can be regarded as Ling's master.
"Although we haven't seen each other for three months in real life, we keep in touch every week and exchange information. So it doesn't feel like we haven't seen each other for a long time at all."
After Ling finished talking to the dean and chairman of the board of directors, their eyes shifted to the pale-blond young man.
"Reinhardt Hamel. You can just call me Reinhardt."
Although they had known each other through Ling as an intermediary, this was the first time for Reinhardt and Oribat to have such face-to-face communication in reality.
"Hamel..." Just saying his name made Olibat's face freeze.
"That's when you were..." Van Dyke watched him stand up, and then, Olibat unexpectedly bowed to Reinhardt.
"I can't do anything for you about what happened back then. At least let me apologize."
"I accept the apology from the former commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army during the Hundred Days War..." Not in his personal capacity, but as a representative of Hamel's orphans.
Although it is useless, it at least expresses an attitude. Both Ling and Reinhardt know that Van Dyke may not really feel guilty about the Hamel incident. This is just a gesture from his standpoint.
.But even if it was just a gesture, it was very useful to Reinhardt.
"Unlike Ling, who has several years of teaching experience, Reinhardt-kun needs to be recommended by me personally. Don't worry, there won't be any problems with the process. The martial arts class is a special course that distinguishes Thors Military Academy from other colleges and universities.
, and the martial arts instructor also represents our Thorz style. With talents like Reinhardt joining us, this year’s teaching seems to be worth looking forward to.”
Van Dyke could detect the overwhelming sense of oppression emanating from Reinhardt just by using his breath perception. In his judgment, this young man's strength may not be inferior to that of Thor and the Swordsmith of Light. Let him take care of it.
It can be said that Erzi's position as an instructor is a sign of humiliation.
Among the things Oribat knew was that Reinhardt was Second Lieutenant Lawrence of the Intelligence Department of the Liber Kingdom. Therefore, it was not surprising that Principal Van Dyck’s evaluation of Reinhardt was not surprising.
Ling's teaching position is the mathematics class for first-year students and the gunnery class for second-year students. And Reinhardt's teaching position is the martial arts class for all grades starting from the new school year.
Thorz's martial arts instructor is a little different from other instructors. It is a consistent system from beginning to end. The martial arts class is a course that must be studied from the first semester to the sixth semester. The advanced mathematics that Ling is responsible for is two semesters.
, Advanced Mathematics is one semester. As long as the credits are completed in the first grade, there is no need to take mathematics courses in the second grade. It is also a mandatory requirement to complete the credits of Advanced Mathematics before taking artillery courses.
Although Olibat is the chairman, he has not been specifically involved in the operation of the college's courses in the past, except for providing assistance in operations. The specific content of the teaching policy is still the responsibility of Dean Van Dyke.
Because Ling and Reinhardt currently have no plans to serve as grade-level instructors at Thorz, they can arrange their time freely except for class time. Ling's classes are all in the morning, and they are all large classes in large classrooms.
, that is, the kind where several small classes are combined and taken together.
On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, first period and second period in the morning (8:00~9:40), the first-grade noble class has math class.
On Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, first period and second period in the morning (8:00~9:40), the first-grade civilian class has math class.
Sunday, first period and second period in the morning (8:00~9:40), gunnery class for the second graders’ noble class.
Sunday, third and fourth period in the morning (10:00~11:40), gunnery class for second grade civilian class.
All her classes are scheduled in the morning, so she can leave and continue to do her own thing after the class is over. This is not because Dean Van Dyke gives her special preferential treatment, or that Olibat uses the authority of the chairman to give her
She arranged it conveniently, which is what Thors has done since the school was founded more than 200 years ago. After all, mathematics is brain-intensive, and you will never learn it in the afternoon.
Unlike math classes that only last one year, martial arts classes run throughout, so Levi's class time is a little longer than Ling's. The transfer device provided by the association to the executor is very convenient at this time.
The principal and Ling tried their hand at the academy's inventory of weapons on the playground. They were both users of the ancient horse-cutting sword, and their fighting styles had many similarities. Van Dyke chose Ling and himself.
The juniors with the same weapons felt a sense of sympathy for each other.
Although he was teaching mathematics, Dean Van Dyke issued Ling a teaching qualification certificate for hundreds of military swordsmanship. Levi, who was clearly an instructor in the martial arts class, did not have this, which made her a little strange?
"The Hundred Styles created for the purpose of practicality and speed do not have the rank classification of first pass, middle pass, and arcane pass. The instructor's qualification certificate is equivalent to the teacher's qualification. If you are qualified to accept it, there is no need to refuse."
In fact, unlike when Ling was studying, almost all of Thorz's instructors now have new faces. Except for Dean Van Dyke and Dean Henry, all the other instructors have been changed.
It's not accurate to say that she doesn't have any acquaintances. But there is actually someone she knows.
Makarov, the second disciple of Dr. Schmidt. He was a colleague who had worked with her at Luray Institute of Technology for one year. However, he left Luray Institute of Technology in 1200. After all, Ling and
He is a little more familiar with his brother-in-law, who is a professor of mechanical engineering.
Director Henry had a very good impression of Ling, an A- and zero-level top student he once taught, but he had a lot of criticisms about a history teacher who was also new this year and had just received a teaching position.
Instructor Thomas did a good job of concealing his hostility in front of Reinhardt and Ling. Just like he recognized Reinhardt as the Sword Emperor, Reinhardt also recognized him as the Box Warlock.
.
See through it without saying anything, and then pretend that nothing happened, so that everyone at least maintains a harmonious attitude on the surface.
Everyone came to the Thors Military Academy with their own ulterior motives, and there was no need to quarrel before the Phantom Flame Project officially started.
Instructor Reinhardt and Instructor Thomas sometimes even go to the pub together, making other faculty members mistakenly think that they have a good relationship.
