Chapter 149 - [? Round] - Interview
“Excuse me. This is the pizza you ordered.”
Pizza all of a sudden? Even in the Fantasy World, pizza existed. However, it wasn’t likely that Boss K, who made dinner a little while ago, ordered it.
“Isn’t that a bomb disguised as a pizza?”
“I’m afraid I can’t completely deny your assumption, Hero. I often order fruit pizza, but I don’t remember ordering it today.”
Safety came first. So, I asked a spirit that would be fine to kill to open the front door.
“You asked me, a prince, to get a pizza…?!”
“Don’t be silly and open it right away.”
Khieek-
When he opened the front door, there was indeed a pizza delivery man. However, it wasn’t an outfit worn by the natives of the Fantasy World. A jacket and helmet that fits tight like a diving suit. It was of an astronaut style that could only come out of science fiction. I was amazed, so I looked at the ability of the deliveryman and swallowed a laugh.
Race: Galaxy Human
Level: 999+
Job: Deliveryman (Delivery → Stamina↑)
Skill: Sprint Z Stamina MAX Flight MAX Driving MAX Leap SSS…
Status: Good
The level was absurd for a deliveryman. The same went for skills, but even more surprising was the race.
Type: Race
Name: Galaxy Human
Class: Rare
Rare 1: Resist the energy of the universe.
Rare 2: Can cross beyond dimensions.
Characteristic 1: Crossbreeding is possible.
Characteristic 2: Survival effect is increased.
Race 1: Excellent fertility.
Race 2: Contains various possibilities.
No other effects were noticeable. He could cross beyond dimension…? I never imagined that I could simply get what I longed for with racial traits.
“It has already been paid for. Enjoy your meal.”
“Wait. Let me ask you one thing.”
“Yes, sir. Go ahead.”
“How do you cross dimensions?”
The delivery man answered my polite question nonchalantly.
“I got that permission from my boss. If you ask me how to do it, I can’t explain it because it’s as natural as breathing. I’ll be late for the other deliveries, so I’ll leave.”
Pop!
The deliveryman became light and disappeared. It was strangely similar to when I returned.
“Oh, well…”
But one thing was certain. The fact that an absurd astronaut was added to my complex head that had been full of only fantasy barbarians…
How do I put this…
“Hello~”
From behind, inside the house, a young woman greeted us. I didn’t ask how she broke in. In the yard where the deliveryman exceeded even the dimensional wall, the house walls were nothing more than a formality.
But when did she come in? It bothered me that I hadn’t noticed at all. She gave off an intelligent, feminine vibe from her outfit. Non-prescription plastic frame glasses, neat short hair, a gray mini skirt, black stockings and shoes, a garter belt, a handbag made of red dragon leather…
And the looks that wrapped them up. A perfect beautiful face naturally atop a perfect body. She didn’t look like a person from the Fantasy World, but something more transcendent.
“Who are you? Are you the wife of the First Hero?”
“No. The seniors are mainly in charge of higher education courses. You’ve been informed about this matter, but I came out on behalf of that person since she isn’t feeling well. I am the Health Teacher in the secondary education center. I am also the advisor of the student council. Okay! Shall we talk while eating pizza?”
In this situation, I didn’t ask about the pizza. My purpose wasn’t to fight the Fantasy God but to return safely to Earth, be a good son to my parents, and regain my life as a normal citizen. I’m not enough of a strong-willed warrior to sharpen my blade unconditionally. I’d join hands with demons if I could benefit from it.
I also looked at the Health Teachers’ abilities out of habit.
Race: Ultra Angel
Level: 999+
Job: Teacher (Education → Ability↑)
Skills: Health ZZZ Immortality ZZ Healing Z Assistant Z Counterattack Z…
Status: Perfect
I could see why she introduced herself as a Health Teacher. No matter what I did, I could never kill this woman. That must be why she came out so confidently. Above all, the most important thing to be aware of was the Transcendental Realm Skill Counterattack. If she succeeded in blocking the opponent’s attack, it had the effect of returning it multiple times over. It meant that my attacks could beat me.
And this Healthy Teacher was ready to counterattack. The skill composition and grade were something else.
Especially her race.
Type: Race
Name: Ultra Angel
Class: Myth
Myth 1: Attack power is greatly increased.
Myth 2: Defense is greatly increased.
Myth 3: Mindpower is greatly increased.
Myth 4: Stamina is greatly increased.
Myth 5: Recovery is greatly increased.
Myth 6: Immunity greatly increases.
Characteristic 1: Increases flight effect.
Characteristic 2: Receive divine blessings.
Race 1: Summon wings.
Race 2: Born with the attribute light.
The Health Teacher possessed a very deceptive race. The rating wasn’t a Myth for nothing. I don’t know how much that rise was numerically, but I could guess that it wasn’t at a testable level just by looking at the expression greatly.
I wasn’t sure if I would be able to win even by fighting with all my might. Was this the average ability of all faculty staff members? It wasn’t a group of incompetent people who could only blabber on. It was a different kind of power than a student.
“I didn’t know what Kang Han-soo would like, so I ordered it evenly~.”
The Health Teacher opened the pizza boxes and moved to the table with a bright smile on her face. Should I say that it felt like counseling for bad students?
“It smells amazing.”
The Fantasy Continent had poor transportation and information exchange, so hoarding and monopolies were very easy. No matter how tasteless the pizza from a pizza outlet was, if there was only one in a city or town, it meant that there was an unconditional demand. It’s not much different from so-called restaurants.
There was no competition, so if you give a certain taste level, you don’t get greedy anymore. But the pizza in front of me was different. This was a dish that was born amid fierce competition. Visuals, smells, materials, harmony, science…
Everything was blended perfectly. I chose one of the various types of pizza and took a bite. And I involuntarily shouted.
“Ah-!”
“Do you like it?”
“The exquisite combination of savory cheese generously sprinkled on the dough and chopped bacon, tomatoes, and hot sauce to keep it from being greasy…the herb sprinkled evenly on top of it is a divine move…!”
I was so moved that I even teared up.
“…You seem to like it.”
I was a little embarrassed by the absurd attention. To be honest, the pizza wasn’t that great. It was the universal taste of a local pizza place sold on Earth. But it was also a taste that the indolent savages of the Fantasy World could never make. And I tasted it for the first time in decades.
I liked the drink that came with the pizza too. Unlike Coke, which had a black color due to caramel, it was a carbonated beverage with a red color like wine. This refreshing feeling was also something that couldn’t be tasted in the Fantasy Continent. It was great, except that it was non-alcoholic.
“Please send me back to Earth.”
After a thrilling meal, I spoke straight to the Health Teacher.
I realized this after eating pizza. The place where my body and soul would stay was the Earth, a beautiful green planet that was breathtaking with soot and fine dust. After wiping the tomato sauce off her lips with a tissue, the Health Teacher touched up her makeup with the lipstick she took out of her handbag.
She replied with a slightly bitter smile.
“I can’t say it’s completely irrelevant, but there’s a process in everything. I am well aware of Kang Han-soo’s desire to return to Earth, but that is a matter that must be achieved entirely by yourself.”
“Then why…?”
Why did you stimulate my homesickness with pizza? Don’t tell me! Is it mental torture?
“Torture? Of course not.”
“You read my mind, too.”
“Don’t be too offended. It’s like how students can see other people’s abilities without permission. Ah! Did you ask why I came here? There are two major things. About the disappearance of a student council member and the future dream of Kang Han-soo.”
I’m not sure about the latter, but I had no idea about the former. I’ve never met a student council member, after all!
“What are you talking about?”
“Have you ever met a middle school student from the student council at the stadium? A boy who is very good with swords.”
“I don’t know.”
If he was very good with swords, as the description said, I couldn’t know.
“His job is Sword God, and he has four Transcendental Realm Skills. He’s a pretty good-looking boy, even if he’s not as handsome as you, Kang Han-soo. Can you think of a friend?”
“…Aha! That trickster!”
I once saw a guy in the desert who tricked me, saying he was a senior in the middle education center even though he was much weaker than an elementary school student. I remembered him because he was uglier than me.
“Right. That ugly friend.”
“What’s wrong with him?”
“Nothing’s wrong with him. It was just reported to the Ministry of Secondary Education that Kang Han-soo’s life record was greatly underestimated. It is truly unique in terms of combat power. To the extent that you can take over as the lead manager of the secondary education curriculum right now.”
“You’d better kill me!”
Just make sure to bury my bones on Earth.
“…You don’t have to overreact like that. Because this is only my hope as an advisor to the student council, I know that forcibly assigned students who don’t like it won’t give good results.”
“Is this all you want to say?”
Thank you for the pizza, Health Teacher.
“No. The problem remains when you decline this offer. What you know is clearly beyond the boundaries of the primary education curriculum. There is no doubt that traces of it remain on the Fantasy Continent, the elementary education center, but it was a situation in which I could never reach it. Especially the second playthrough. The ability to defeat the Dragon King Noebius in a month without illegal skills is still being debated.”
“It is thanks to meeting a good teacher.”
Master Mollan. Without the teachings of that great being, it would have been difficult even with the memories and combat experience of the 1st playthrough. It was a coincidence that I met Noebius, the Dragon King. Who knew I would meet an old dragon just before twilight when I was trying to eat a baby dragon’s experience point?
At that time, I would have been dead if Noebius hadn’t kept on pawing at the air due to his presbyopia, no matter how great Master Mollan’s teachings were. There were no strong men who could win ahead of time.
Did she read my thoughts again? The Health Teacher wore a bitter smile once more.
“I also investigated the rainbow-colored slime. It was just an ordinary slime, except for the name Mollan, which a village girl gave it. Ah! It was so cute that I wanted to keep it at home. Don’t make such a stern face. Even if it’s an investigation, it’s still a slime, right? I only touched its squishy skin.”
“Hmm…”
If so, that’s a relief.
“Anyway, the problem is that Kang Han-soo has learned too much first-class information. It’s okay for other elementary school students who enjoy the festival to know a little. There’s nothing they can do unless they go through secondary education and reach a higher level.”
“The evaluation is harsh, huh.”
“After all, one graduate of the secondary education curriculum has more influence than ten thousand graduates of the primary education curriculum. And Kang Han-soo, you are qualified for early admission into the secondary education curriculum.”
“Early admission…?”
I’ve been stuck in the elementary education curriculum for thirty-three, which others graduate from in three years. They say that practice makes perfect, right? No wonder I’m strong.
“Because of combat power, others receive additional education for at least a hundred years after graduating from the elementary education center. After all, you are bound to die if you start your secondary education in a weak state. By the way, Kang Han-soo has reached the minimum requirement in half that time, and you beat an experienced middle school student! This is amazing!”
“Huh! No matter what, I won’t go.”
I’m not a naive hero that will fall for some sugarcoating.
“All faculty staff sincerely hope that Kang Han-soo will enter the secondary education center. The elementary education curriculum, which selects young people who show certain qualities and enrolls them without notice, is compulsory, but it is different from the secondary education curriculum. We are seriously looking for people to walk with us into the future together.”
“I have no desire to walk together with you.”
I am full of desire to beat the Moral Teacher!
“It’s intolerable. There are many faculty staff who are worried about talented people like Kang Han-soo going to hostile places. To be honest, there were also radical opinions that the buds should be pruned before graduation.”
“…”
I was speechless. The Health Teacher’s remarks were very provocative and offensive to the extent that my heart was pounding, but I had expected such retaliation from the start. That’s why I had been preparing for the time when the Fantasy God, a narrow-minded person, retrieved my abilities.
And I’m ready.
The Health Teacher continued with a calm smile.
“But we can’t do that. That’s the act of drawing a line so that we can’t be together forever. A school that removes graduates just because they might become enemies? Who will trust us then?”
“No retaliation?”
“Of course. I can promise you, never. If I were wrong, I would become your personal Health Teacher.”
“Hey~”
I think she’s sincere.
“I’m serious. So, think a little bit about entering the secondary education center. Although you refused special admission, if you change your mind at any time, just take first or second place at this festival. It wouldn’t be too difficult with Kang Han-soo’s ability.
“That’s enough.”
“People always change their minds. Bye.”
Pop!
The Health Teacher was gone as quick as she came. As soon as she put the handbag she had put down next to her on her shoulder, she disappeared. I smirked.
“I will never change my- what, this?!”
Score: 10831
Rank: 87
I didn’t do anything, but my festival scores and rankings went up.
