I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated

Chapter 548: Sh*tty Brat

「This way」

「Nn」

We were now being taken by Weena Rhyn to the staff room. Most of the staff was given private rooms or laboratories, but apparently, there was also a large room for everyone to gather.

She said that it was more convenient for them to prepare before class or for simple meetings. It really felt like a Japanese staff room.

「But still, you’re the first one to cause such commotion in such a state since the establishment of this academy, you know?」

「What do you mean?」

「Usually, people who come to the academy for an interview are nervous because they know about me. So, who would cause a commotion in such a state, right?」

Well, she was right. If they offended Weena Rhyn, they would be doomed. In that sense, Fran was in a lot of trouble.

「And I’m not going to let you do anything crazy in my presence」

「I see」

「I usually make people wait an hour for an interview, but some of them get angry and leave」

「You make them wait? Why?」

「We don’t need people who didn’t have the patience and enthusiasm and leave with just being neglected for that long」

I think they were just like normal people in interviews on Earth, weren’t they? I mean, I used to get that kind of treatment a lot when I was looking for a job. In large-scale interviews, they even made me wait for a long time. It was a combo strategy of making you wait for a long time and then pressuring you into an interview.

Well, there were also times when the interview process was prolonged and the company unintentionally made you wait. Anyone who had experienced those eras when companies were super dominant would understand it.

「Some aristocrats who brag about their great titles have no patience. In the first place, being an instructor or teacher is hard work, right? Not all kids are good and honest, and there are a lot of sh*tty brats out there. You have to have enthusiasm and patience to deal with them. Or maybe you just need the heart to go through it」

「Nn?」

Fran tilted her head a little when she heard Weena Rhyn’s words. I was also feeling a little uncomfortable too.

「What’s wrong?」

「Do you like kids?」

That was right. I felt uncomfortable with Weena Rhyn’s tone when she said “Sh*tty brat”. Amanda, who also loved children, would not have said it, and even if she had, there would have been a hint of affection in it. But I couldn’t feel it in Weena Rhyn’s words.

She seemed to really think of them as sh*tty brats. However, she then laughed slightly with a bitter smile.

「I don’t know why people seem to think of that of me as the Director of the academy… Well, it was also because I’ve made a contract with the spirits so that I was bound to the academy, but I wonder if that’s another point that they’ve misunderstood. Well, but I love honest, cute, and talented kids, okay? Like you for an example」

Weena Rhyn said so and winked at her. But the chuckle remained on her face.

「I can’t love every kid unconditionally just because they are a kid, right?」

『So, why did you become the Director of the academy?』

「There’s a lot of things an adult should do. Aah, by the way, you know Amanda, don’t you?」

「Nn」

I saw that she was looking through Fran’s files before she said so. So, I guess it must be from what was written in it.

「You shouldn’t compare with to that girl」

「You know her?」

「You haven’t heard about it?」

「Nn」

「Fufufu, she never changes, doesn’t she…? Well, her ancestors are my children. I guess that makes her my descendant, right?」

What? She was related to her by blood? But Amanda never said anything about that, right?

「Well, it’s because she hates me」

「Why?」

「Well, it’s because of a lot of things. But one reason is that she probably doesn’t like me being called as a kid loving person, as she was a real kid loving person」

Is that all? Well, I’m not going to pursue it too deeply if she doesn’t want to tell more.

As we walked along talking like that, I noticed that the students we passed were staring at Fran.

「Who is she? I can’t believe that the Director is personally showing her around」

「Maybe she’s some kind of noble?」

「I don’t think the Director would care about something like that. She’s the type who would even beat up the royalty after all」

「Umm, is that the director of the academy? This is the first time I’ve seen her」

「Oi oi, we were greeted by her at the entrance ceremony, you know?」

「Well, I was late getting in because of my family matter…」

I wondered if the incident from earlier had already spread, but they seemed to be simply surprised that Weena Rhyn was guiding us.

The students thought they were whispering, but we and Weena Rhyn could clearly hear them. It seemed that Weena Rhyn’s face wasn’t well known even to them.

「It can’t be helped, you know? Most of the work is done by my subordinates after all. So, the only time I appear in front of the students is for the upperclassmen’s mock battles or greetings at the ceremony」

It was a school with a long history after all, so I’m sure they already have a complete system of education as well as defense.

Besides, as the Director of the Academy, she wouldn’t be in charge of classes often.

Even for me, it was hard to remember what my principal looked like when I was in school. But I do remember that the principal in my high school had a little less hair though.

「Besides, I usually walk around in a plain outfit, so I don’t think the students would recognize me, right?」

Well, if they couldn’t sense her strength, she might just look like a normal Elf.

She was an Elf, and she was beautiful, but not the best in the world or anything. Even if she evolved into a High Elf, her appearance would probably remain the same.

She wore a plain robe that certainly doesn’t look like much of those in power. However, it was actually a luxury item made of good material, but they wouldn’t know about that by just simply seeing it.

Furthermore, she seemed to be suppressing her aura. I guess it was because she doesn’t want to cause a commotion here.

Seeing Weena Rhyn dressed like that, Fran nodded approvingly.

「Nn. Weena Rhyn looks so plain」

「Wait doesn’t that sound like it means something different」
