Regressor Instruction Manual

Chapter 207: G.T.O (3)

‘I’ll do it.’

It was only right for me to do so. Though I did not desire the five priorities of bargaining rights, it would be helpful for Blue to be able to recruit potential members rather than give it to other guilds. Even if I hadn’t gotten such rights, I still would’ve stayed to take a look at the newcomers.

Just being able to see who was talented and not talented first would be a huge advantage.

Now was the time to openly search for a new jewel.

What was a little surprising was the choice of the Red Mercenaries for these new recruits.

‘I’m going to train the target team before everyone else. Of course, I’ll pay more attention to them, but that’s it.’

‘You mean you won’t give them special treatment? Can you do that? Then, there’s no reason to have the right to bargain first, Hee-ra.’

‘Honey, I’m Cha Hee-ra. Is it a good idea to give special treatment to the new recruits who have just arrived because you want to look good to them? It’s not me that needs to be conscious of them. It’s them.’

‘You’re right…’

‘In the last tutorial dungeon, your party was a little special, and because Blue was in a hurry, Lee Sang-hee gave you special treatment. Usually, guilds don’t do that. Anyway, all of the groups are the same for me. I refuse to hear that they didn’t train the new recruits well this year…’

‘I didn’t know you were taking care of that, too.’

‘You know how badly Blue was criticized last year, right?’

‘Huh?’

‘Since they were busy recruiting your party, they did a bad job training the new recruits. Of course, each one of them received more training in their respective guild or clan, but people saw all of it as a mess. They forcefully entered the forest and raised the mortality rate because they didn’t obey the procedure. That can happen this time, too, right?’

‘Ohhhhhh…’

‘The Red Mercenaries should always be perfect. That’s why we called Sun Hee-young and Hayan…’

‘What? Really?’

‘We have to do this properly.’

When I thought about the conversation I had a few days ago, I was forced to nod.

First of all, since it was Cha Hee-ra, it would be obvious to have the target team trained to their potential. In fact, I hadn’t seen the target team yet, so I couldn’t see how strong they are, but it seemed that their level wasn’t very good, considering that the Red Mercenaries were not preparing for recruitment right now. Of course, they would have to give out additional benefits, but not moving in a hurry was definitely interesting to see.

‘It’s completely different from Blue last year…’

Lee Sang-hee had hurried to make us an offer back then. Considering their situation, their actions were understandable, but now the differences were so big that I felt a little off.

What was most surprising was that Jung Hayan and Sun Hee-young had been invited as instructors.

I knew that the Red Mercenary’s priest and wizard lines weren’t very good, but this didn’t mean they were weak.

‘There are kids like Ahn Ki-mo…’

Despite having high-level wizards and priests, it seemed that they really wanted to finish the training of this tutorial dungeon by collaborating with Blue.

Thanks to that, Sun Hee-young and Jung Hayan seemed happy. It appeared that they found being a teacher more fun than being with me.

The training center opened a few days ago, and Jung Hayan and Sun Hee-young, which were in charge of mainstream subjects, had already taught their first class. Seeing that their condition was better than expected, they definitely felt good.

The good news here was that Jung Hayan found something she could focus on.

I knew that Sun Hee-young originally liked this kind of work, so this was good for her as well.

“Hee-young-ssi looks really happy.”

“Oh, did it look like that? I remembered a little bit of my old days…”

“Yes?”

“I was a teacher for a while.”

“Huh? Is that true?”

“Yes. Of course, I quit because of personal circumstances, but I am very impressed to be doing something similar to this again.”

‘It kind of suits her.’

It was new information, but the image fit Hee-young somehow.

Of course, doing relief activities in places such as UNICEF matched her, but wearing glasses and standing at the teacher’s platform also perfectly synchronized with her.

“I also dreamed of being a teacher when I was in elementary school, Oppa!”

“Oh, really?”

“Yes.”

‘This doesn’t suit her very much…’

No matter how much I think about it, I couldn’t imagine Jung Hayan becoming a teacher.

“That… You must have done it very well.”

“Really?”

“Then… How was the class?”

“It was better than I thought, Oppa. Hehe…”

“Really?”

“Yes. I’m not sure why people don’t understand the basics… Still, there were a lot of people who seemed to be trying their hardest.”

“They don’t understand?”

“Yes. No matter how much I explain, they don’t understand the techniques well. Even if I try to explain it as easily as possible, it seemed that not even one person understood… Most of them were nice, though.”

“How did you explain it?”

“Just told them to do like this and like that… Even if I asked him to feel the magical power, they couldn’t feel it.”

‘No wonder.’

In the first place, Jung Hayan and the common people had different perspectives. No matter how much passion she put into a class, less than 1% would be able to understand Jung Hayan’s explanation.

I had to think that it was fortunate that the magic instructor had not been her.

“Is the same for Hee-young-ssi?”

“Yes. But I think it is natural. The target team members usually have completed the first class change, but in the case of the survival team, many people have not even been able to change the first class. Not being able to feel magical or divine power… if you think about it, it is natural.”

“Hmm…”

“This isn’t about in-depth classes. Those with talent are likely to change class in this process… I don’t think it’s bad that one can decide their own career path. That’s why the Red Mercenaries haven’t separated the classes yet, right?”

“In short, it’s enough just to teach them little by little. Is that what you mean?”

“Yes, Kiyoung-ssi. It’s like sending the young children to the piano academy, taekwondo, and English academy. Come to think of it… Is today your first class?”

“Yes. Since there aren’t many categories, there aren’t many classes, too.”

“Huh? Let’s go together, Oppa! I have classes, too. Hehe.”

“Really? Then let’s go. What about Hee-young-ssi?”

“I have no more classes today. I’ll see both of you later.”

“Okay.”

In fact, I wasn’t really concerned about the class.

None of them could understand alchemy properly anyway… Of course, during the in-depth course, I should give proper education, but the more important thing was to find more slaves to work hard in Blue.

Once I have had time to explain what noncombatant or production alchemists were, I could explain the basics of Ramus Tucker’s introduction to alchemy to those who had changed their class as wizards, and that was it. It wouldn’t be a difficult task at all.

As my time approached, I decided to hurry up.

Holding my Introduction to Alchemy book in one hand made me feel a little cool. I could somehow understand why Jung Hayan felt excited about hosting her own class.

“What class is Oppa?”

“Class C.”

“Ah. I went there yesterday, and the kids were really nice. The average age is a little young there.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. Still, the ratio of wannabe wizards is high, so everyone is feeling motivated… Come to think of it, the ratio of girls is a bit high.”

“Ah. By the way… don’t we look just like a teacher’s couple, Hayan?”

“Y-Yes, we actually do!”

‘She’s happier than I thought.’

As it was my first time entering the camp, I looked around and saw people doing physical training at the gymnasium.

The instructors who were watching the training from outside greeted me, so I greeted them back with a nod. Of course, I didn’t intend to stay long.

I kept looking around, but there weren’t that many who stood out.

“I’m going this way, Oppa.”

“Okay. Then, I’ll see you later.”

“Alright.”

Jung Hayan seemed to be in charge of class B. As soon as Jung Hayan entered the quiet classroom, her would-be students immediately greeted her.

“Hello, instructor!”

“Yes. How are you all? I will now start the class.”

For some reason, the oddly-dignified voice didn’t sound like Jung Hayan at all, leaving me with no choice but to laugh out of amusement.

‘These new recruits seem to be in good shape.’

Certainly, unlike Blue, the Red Mercenary had a systematic system, so it seemed that they already knew how this place worked. Naturally, I had very little expectation for my future students. Upon reaching Class B, I heard voices murmuring.

“Isn’t Instructor Sun Hee-young really pretty?”

“Yes. But I find Instructor Jung Hayan prettier…”

“Oh, Jung Hayan instructor is also pretty… She’s cute. It’s the only pleasure in life here.”

“What does it matter? They said that Instructor Jung Hayan has a boyfriend.”

The voices continued to talk even as I had entered the room. Of course, they had noticed me and sat down, but I received none of the greetings Jung Hayan had gotten.

‘Uh?’

Some time had passed since I entered. Nevertheless, seeing that the atmosphere was not calming, it seemed that they had not been properly informed about who was in front of them.

Some of them looked curious, and some of the others were looking at me, laughing. It was ridiculous, but they certainly had on looks of scorn.

‘Didn’t they tell them who I am?’

If so, I could understand their cold reaction. It would be natural that most of them would not be interested in manufacturing production, as they were all hoping for combat jobs.

I could now somehow understand the sadness of a teacher in charge of a non-mainstream subject. Of course, I was feeling worse than that.

In their eyes, they obviously thought of me as a freak.

‘Huh…’

I wanted to praise them for being able to distinguish between the combat and production workers.

‘However, they chose the wrong person to mess with…’

As I continued to stare at them for a while, a rude voice called out.

“Aren’t you going to start the class? It’s been five minutes already. Can I call you a noncombatant teacher?”
