YLTESCIA: A Reincarnator's Tale in the Lands of Merusia

Chapter 74: The King's Request

"Grey, Yuna, what do you say about becoming instructors for the Royal Academy's alpha classes?" ［Ernes］

An unexpected question came out of the King's mouth as he looked at Grey and Yuna with an ear to ear extending smile plastered on his face. It was a question that never in their wildest imagination could they have predicted.

"That is a wonderful idea, Father!" ［Galleus］

"I know right?! If it's Grey and Yuna, they should be able to handle the job more than perfectly!" ［Vanessa］

"It is exactly as Elder Sister said, if Grey and Yuna were to teach the alpha classes' students, there should be no problem in disciplining them. Their parents wouldn't be able to complain about it either." ［Kurt］

While Yuna and Grey were still in shock, Kurt and Vanessa along with the Crown Prince once again discussed the advantages of them becoming the instructors. It was phrased in a way it seemed like the suggestion had already been decided.

The Prime Minister who usually doesn't go along with the King and Crown Prince's ideas was nodding his head in silence as he agreed to their thoughts. It greatly helped that Kurt was amongst the ones who proposed the idea.

"Wait, wait, wait! Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?!" ［Grey］

"It's just like what I said. I want the two of you to become the alpha classes' instructors. With your strength, a bunch of kids should be easy to handle, no?" ［Ernes］

"Even if that's true, aren't there already enough instructors in the academy?" ［Grey］

"And Your Majesty, you can't possibly expect that the students will follow someone the same age as them." ［Yuna］

"Ah, right..." ［Ernes］

The king answered with a face and tone of voice as if he just remembered, leaving everyone in the room dumbfounded. He thought of an answer long and hard, but his answer was so simple, it's stupid.

"Well, if they don't want to follow you, you could just subdue them by force. Being B-rank adventurers yourselves, that should be a fairly easy task. Hahahaha!" ［Ernes］

The King laughed like a maniac as he praised himself for the ingenuity of his idea. At the same time, the Prime Minister beside him was shaking his head as if he was having a headache. Two contrasting characters.

Grey and Yuna were left in shock by the King's boisterous answer. No matter how much they try to be considerate, they just couldn't think that the person who was laughing like there was no tomorrow was a King.

"Father, you're laughing too much..." ［Galleus］

"Well, I thought it was an amazing solution, didn't I? It's only natural to celebrate with a little laughter, isn't it?" ［Ernes］

"I suppose you're right..." ［Galleus］

Like a gullible child, the Crown Prince just went along with the King's words. At this point, Grey and Yuna were already totally lost as to what was happening. The conversation had derailed too far already.

"Ahem! Anyway, the reason why I'm asking the two of you to become instructors, it's because of what happened three weeks ago." ［Ernes］

"Three weeks ago...... You mean that malfunction accident?!" ［Grey］

"Yes, that one. Seems like you already heard what happened." ［Ernes］

"Yeah, we heard about it from Galderia. Only from rumors, though," ［Grey］

"Is it true that it wasn't just a simple accident?" ［Yuna］

When Yuna said those words, silence swallowed the room and a slightly gloomy atmosphere fell upon it. The King thought for a few moments before opening his mouth and revealing what actually happened.
