I’m Posing as a Teacher at the Magic Academy

[Pigeon Fungus is off to work! Slacking off while writing.jpg - Note from November 9]

Scene One:

Beiming's train was knocked off the tracks by a mysterious person. When he crawled out, he found an envelope.

He was just about to throw away the letter, which had gotten his blood on it, when someone took it from him.

"Is this your letter?"

"No."

"What's your name?"

"Beiming."

"All right, got it." The stranger turned around and tied Beiming onto a flying ship. "Since you've agreed to teach at the school, stop pretending to be clueless, Beiming. No, I should call you Teacher Seral Alaclay."

Beiming: "???"

What did you say?

Scene Two:

At the latest Apprentice Mage Tournament, Class Seventeen, dubbed the "dumping ground for failures," easily crushed countless prodigies and took first place in every event.

Someone interviewed them: "How did you gain the strength you have now? What changed you?"

"Teacher Seral Alaclay."

They answered without hesitation.

"He was like a ray of light in my life. He pulled me out of the mire and gave me a new life."

Beiming, who had merely given them a pep talk: ?

"He's a wonderful person, and so kind that we're worried people will take advantage of him."

Beiming, who just couldn't be bothered to deal with them: ??

"Teacher has always been in poor health, but he still went in and out of all kinds of dangerous places to find treasures for us, then made them into protective charms."

Beiming, who had simply grabbed some experimental leftovers: ???

The students sighed. "He always says he isn't a real teacher and doesn't have a teaching certificate. He says it's because he fears he isn't capable enough to protect us under his wing, and hopes we'll grow up on our own instead of relying on him too much... Sigh, when will we be able to stand on our own and put Teacher at ease?"

Beiming: "..."

Honestly, you guys have some seriously rose-tinted glasses.

Reader's Guide:

1. Very slow-burn, not a wish-fulfillment story (important!).

2. Not mentioned in the blurb: the protagonist is a transmigrator who has lived in a magical world for five hundred years (body transmigration + undocumented + former player in an infinite-world game), and he has a rabbit who is a Lord God.

3. The author's writing is limited, so please don't be rude if it's not to your taste. Thanks for understanding!

Here are two other upcoming stories by the author.
