I Became an Unknown Professor at the Academy

“Huhu, I’ll do that. Yes. Have a good night.”

Yesol smiled slyly and ended the call, getting up from her bed.

A few minutes ago, she had received an email from Roméo, who had been kicked out earlier that day, saying that he would attend the General Assembly. She had just informed Baek Woo-jin of this.

“Hmm~”

The man, who had the audacity to not bow his head despite having only mid-level combat power among the eight, had finally shown some humility.

Yesol stopped for a moment and admired the sky, which was tinged with a deep red color.

Why would someone who had been kicked out in the morning send an email so late in the day?

‘No matter how much I think about it, I can’t find an answer~’

There was no need to discuss his combat power, and the political issue was also something that the real owner of the Arena Academy didn’t care about.

“Hmm, if you keep bothering him, he might turn the tables on you.”

Yesol had fully compensated for the lack of vitality in her life over the past few weeks, thanks to today’s events, and she was feeling great.

Yesol left her room and went downstairs, where she found the priests and paladins busy preparing dinner.

“Everyone, take a good rest in the temple tomorrow.”

“Yes!”

Although someone might have had questions, everyone smiled and nodded, as they were all people who loved to play.

After all, they knew that Claire, the absolute being, could overwhelm everyone on her own, unlike the other seven who were favored by the gods.

Furthermore, even if they didn’t attend the General Assembly, Yesol and one other person would be there. So, it was clear that their presence would only be a hindrance, and there was no reason for them to attend.

“High Priestess, won’t you have dinner?”

As the priests and paladins were setting the table, one of the paladins asked Yesol, who was about to go upstairs.

“I’m already full.”
“…”

It was unlikely that she would eat outside of mealtimes.

The paladin tilted his head, and Yesol waved her hand.

“Don’t worry about me. Feel free to eat and then disperse.”

Dakkak- Dakkak-

Yesol’s footsteps on the stairs gradually faded away until they could no longer be heard.

“Beer!! Bring beer!!”
“Do you want to bet on whether there will be an incident tomorrow?”

The remaining people started talking loudly, making it clear that they were servants of Yoohee.

It was quite late, but the lights were still on in Baek Hana’s room.

“Damn, I haven’t logged in for two days, and the price of troll blood has skyrocketed! Why?” “That’s because… the top-ranked players are stocking up on potions and materials for the new gate raid next week.”

Lee Nayoung answered, glancing at Baek Hana.

‘The Guild’ is a mobile game that has been popular worldwide for ten years since its release.

In this game, anyone can create their own guild, regardless of their abilities, wealth, or connections.

“Hey, can I borrow some potions?”
“I, I don’t have any… Kyaang?!”
“It’s not like I’m stingy about lending potions to a friend!”
“Kyaat! Ah! I, I’ll give it to you…!!”
“I don’t need it!”
“Uwaah!!”

As Lee Nayoung was tickled by Baek Hana, she laughed on the bed. At that moment, Na Yeon-ju, who was sitting between Baek Hana’s legs, asked,

“Why is there only one awakened person in your guild, Hana?”
“Haha… That’s because…”

Baek Hana scratched her head awkwardly at the cute question from her younger sister.

Until a few months ago, Baek Hana had several capable awakened individuals in her guild. But then, an incident, or rather, an accident, occurred.

[Detailed Information] Name: ??? Age: ??? Gender: ??? Title: Guardian (Unique). Tendency: Chaos.

1st Ability: ??? (Unique) 2nd Ability: ??? (Unique) – Limitedly Open.

Fragment of the Incident: Monopoly, Worry.

A mysterious awakened person suddenly appeared.

Since Baek Hana was playing the game on a smartphone, which displayed the game in a slightly higher-quality dot format, she couldn’t see much other than the fact that the person’s hair covered their face.

This mysterious awakened person had proposed to join her guild.

They had a ‘unique’ ability, which was even rarer than the ‘legendary’ ability. So, of course, Baek Hana accepted the proposal, and the mysterious awakened person immediately forced out all the other awakened individuals in her guild.

That’s why there was only one awakened person in Baek Hana’s guild.

‘But at least he earns a lot of points…’

To be honest, Baek Hana felt sorry for the other awakened individuals she had worked with. However, the mysterious awakened person, who had joined her guild last week, earned significantly more points on his own than the twenty others combined.

After all, he didn’t require expensive equipment or potions, and he went into the gates alone to gather rare materials.

The problem was that he didn’t listen to any instructions when it came to recruiting new awakened individuals.

That’s why Baek Hana hadn’t been able to make any new contracts with awakened individuals.

“Hana, do you know anyone who plays with rare awakened individuals?”
“There are some, but…”
“Then, can you send some support to me?”
“Yes, I will.”

[Cherry Killer has requested support.]

Baek Hana clicked accept and asked the mysterious awakened person, who was drinking coffee in the guild house, if they would accept the dispatch request.

[??? has accepted the dispatch.]

“Hoo…”

Baek Hana was relieved that the mysterious awakened person not only accepted the contract with another awakened person but also seemed to faithfully follow any instructions, as long as it wasn’t a contract with another awakened person.

“There’s only one person? But what’s their name?”
“I contracted with them last Saturday, but all their information is private.”
“Really? That’s interesting.”

Baek Hana picked up Na Yeon-ju, who was sleeping in her arms, and moved to where Maria was lying.

“Wow, I can see Maria in real life.”

Na Yeon-ju, who had been watching the game in dot format, was amazed by Maria’s tablet, which was based on her superior performance.

“When will you fight with a sword?”
“Wait five minutes.”

Since it took a certain amount of time for the dispatched awakened person to arrive, Baek Hana and Maria took the opportunity to caress Na Yeon-ju’s cheeks and hair and have a light conversation.

“But you really don’t have to observe the General Assembly tomorrow, right?”
“I would have wanted to observe it in the past, but… not anymore.”

Maria smiled faintly in response to Baek Hana’s question.

“So, Hana, why don’t you observe it?”
“No. You said it would be boring, and Woo-jin said I could just rest at home.”
“Huhu, that’s right. It’s been a long time since we had a free day, and it would be a waste to spend this precious time observing a meeting of adults.”
“That’s true.”
“Uwoong~”

Baek Hana and Maria smiled at each other, and Na Yeon-ju, who had been receiving a lot of affection from them, responded with unintelligible babble.

“If anyone heard us, they might think we’re observing a meeting of some random old people.”

At that moment, Lee Nayoung, who had completely exhausted herself, turned to join the conversation.

“Isn’t it the General Assembly of the Awakened that even the chairman of the World Awakened Association wants to observe?”
“But you’re not going either.”
“That’s because…”

Maria asked, and Lee Nayoung scratched her cheek.

“We can see the executor every day, and now we can see that crazy… I mean, the Great mother. And even if we don’t attend the meeting, Professor Baek and the executor will tell us everything anyway. So, why bother going?”
“That’s what I’m saying.”

Indeed, while everyone else at the Academy was eagerly looking forward to observing the General Assembly, Baek Hana and the children were excited about the rare free day they had.

Even though it was past bedtime, they were still playing games with the lights on.

Of course, all of this was done with the permission of Baek Woo-jin, the owner of the mansion.

“Ah, time’s up.”

At that moment, Na Yeon-ju, who had been enjoying the touch of the two sisters and staring at the screen, spoke up.

Baek Hana and Maria also turned their attention to the tablet screen.

The screen displayed a live transmission of a real-life scene, showing a huge gate in a dark forest, emitting a vivid blue light.

In front of the gate, Maria’s guild members gathered, and the mysterious awakened person appeared.

“Oh my…”
“Wow!”
“Hmm…”

The three of them reacted differently, but it was clear that they were all surprised and confused.

Lee Nayoung, who had been operating her device, turned her head away from the bed.

“Isn’t that Professor Baek?”
“It looks like him, except for the small glasses…”
“Hmm…”

Lee Nayoung and Maria were confident in their deduction, and Baek Hana nodded in agreement.

“Information… that’s right. Hana, can you reveal some information?”
“Yes!! Show us Professor Baek’s information!”
“Wait a moment…”

Baek Hana was about to reveal information about the mysterious awakened person, but she suddenly stopped.

Fragment of the Incident: Monopoly, Worry.

A memory suddenly flashed through her mind, and her fingers froze.

‘Monopoly…?’

It wasn’t difficult to guess what he was monopolizing.

“Why are you blushing and freaking out when I ask to see the information?”
“Hana?”

Her cheeks grew warm.

Her lips curled upward uncontrollably.

Baek Hana turned off her smartphone and stood up, stuffing it into her pajamas.

“Sorry, I can’t show it to you.”
“You bitch!”
“Huhu, Hana, we’re friends, aren’t we?”

Maria, who rarely took sides, stood up for Lee Nayoung.

“If you want to see it, try to take it from me.”
“Are you saying I can’t?”
“Of course, our kind Na Yeon-ju will help us, right?”
“Ah, ah…”

Maria and Lee Nayoung surrounded Baek Hana, who was standing with her back to the door, and Na Yeon-ju was caught in the middle, unsure which side to take.

“Her chest is her weak point!”
“It’s a weak point for all women.”
“Anyway!”

And so, the fight began.

Or rather, the one-sided violence.

Paaak──!!

“…”

“Hick…”

Na Yeon-ju trembled, looking back and forth between the three of them, who were lying on the floor with large bumps on their foreheads, and Claire, who was quietly peeking through the door crack.

“Don’t run at night.”

Claire left with a chilling warning.

“Let’s go to bed…”

Na Yeon-ju turned off the lights and hugged Lee Nayoung, who was lying alone on the bed, and closed her eyes.
