“Are you saying you’re going to use me as a graduate student?!”
Professor Tak Won-ho quietly looked at me as I raised my voice momentarily with exaggerated gestures.
“Now you’re even joking with your teacher.”
“...I’m
“It was fun.”
“It doesn’t seem like you found it fun at all...?”
“Let’s talk about work.”
Professor Tak Won-ho approached me and began speaking.
“At first, I thought about recognizing all your attendance and letting you graduate early. It might cause controversy as student discrimination, but it would be beneficial for both the academy and you. No, from the academy’s standpoint, they would prefer you to remain as a student, so it’s actually a method that greatly benefits you.”
Taking a slight breath, Professor Tak Won-ho continued.
“But adopting such a method seemed too far from the academy’s educational philosophy. As a professor before being a foundation director, I thought the student should gain something.”
“
“Special Student Assistant. In fact, the name is just something I came up with because a title was needed.”
Suddenly, Professor Tak Won-ho handed me a document.
Inside was the full plan for the
“Once you take on this position, all your class attendance will be recognized from now on. Whether you attend classes or not.”
“...Is that possible?”
“It is. The foundation board has agreed, and I’ve obtained consent from all professors within the academy. Your popularity is quite high.”
I was momentarily at a loss for words at that contradictory statement.
The only professors I’m close to are my mentor Professor Tak Won-ho, Professor Kim Myeong-hyun, and Professor Kang Dong-wook...
It seemed my reputation built through various incidents had led to this popularity.
Professor Tak Won-ho turned to the next page of the plan and said,
“Instead, you must fulfill at least 30 hours per semester as a Special Student Assistant.”
“Will I be doing assistant work?”
“No. I told you earlier, it’s just a name. You can use these 30 hours for anything you consider educational, Do Jae-hyun.”
The plan listed various ways to fulfill the 30 hours.
There are many.
Quite a lot, actually.
But there was a common point.
That is, it’s too easy to fill the time.
“You can fill the time by attending lectures that are already recognized, or by doing assistant work as the title suggests. Professor Kim Myeong-hyun will probably have you teach classes. And if you want, you can request special training sessions to fill the time. I’m busy, but I’ll gladly make time for my disciple.”
“And if you fulfill these 30 hours this semester and next, early graduation is scheduled to proceed at the end of the first semester of your third year. It was decided as the most reasonable period within the academy’s guidelines.”
Too many good conditions were pouring out one after another.
Both the duties of the student assistant and the conditions for early graduation were like that.
In summary...
It’s saying, ‘Attend the academy as you please!’
I stared blankly at the plan and Professor Tak Won-ho alternately, then asked, “...Isn’t this too advantageous for just me?”
No matter how I looked at it, the conditions were too favorable to me.
It doesn’t seem to fit the term special student ‘assistant’ either.
But my teacher slightly smiled.
It’s been a year and a half since I got to know Professor Tak Won-ho.
A kind smile I had never seen during that long time...
An incredibly benevolent smile.
“You deserve it sufficiently.”
Of course, equipment beyond legendary grade requires some conditions and contracts, but most epic grade equipment could be borrowed after just a simple procedure.
The second was fees.
Almost all fees incurred in transactions with the association are close to zero.
Therefore, when trading byproducts or magic stones obtained from hunting monsters, unlike before, I could take all the profits at the market price.
Although it’s a benefit that has lost much of its meaning now, even these things can accumulate to become a large price difference.
In addition to these, there were countless large and small benefits such as free warp gate use, free use of association-certified training grounds, daily dungeon rental tickets, and so on.
I’m not sure how much I’ll utilize them, but in any case, it wasn’t bad to have them.
Probably what Ji-hye called ‘S-grade exclusive lounge within the association’ is also a welfare measure of this kind.
Indeed, when a Holder does well, good things tend to fall into their lap even if they do nothing.
“Ah. We’re here.”
As we were talking about various things, we had already arrived at the President’s office.
In front, a woman who looked like a secretary was waiting to guide me.
“Then I’ll see you later, Holder!”
“Yes. You too, Ji-hye. Next time I’ll contact you first.”
“Tch. You must!”
“Haha, yes.”
After briefly saying goodbye to Ji-hye like that.
I entered the President’s office following the secretary’s guidance.
Inside, Holder Association President Kwon Young-hoon was waiting for me in a neat suit.
“Ah, Holder Do Jae-hyun. You’ve come.”
“It’s been a while, President.”
We sat down after briefly shaking hands.
As I had requested a private meeting in advance, only Kwon Young-hoon and I remained in the President’s office after the secretary left.
“It’s late, but congratulations on forming an alliance agreement with the Wings of Freedom. You’ve made an agreement that will rewrite the history of Korean clans.”
“Thank you. I was lucky.”
“Haha. Probably only Holder Do Jae-hyun would describe making such a large-scale agreement as being lucky.”
...It’s true though.
Both Hendricks initially showing goodwill towards me and inviting me to the US for the alliance agreement were all unrelated to my intentions.
I didn’t know it would turn out like that either.
But there was no need to explain this, so I went straight to the main point.
“The reason I sought you out today, President, is to discuss the future conquest schedule.”
“When you say future conquest schedule...”
As I broached the main topic, Kwon Young-hoon narrows his eyes.
I took out the documents I had prepared in advance and spread them on the table.
Information obtained while pressing Baroness Caroline in New York.
And information discovered while conquering
They were neatly organized reports of all those things.
“The 7th District, isn’t it about time we start conquering it?”
The conquest of the district that had been postponed day after day as it became a prolonged war.
It was now time to take over that baton.
