I'm an Ordinary Returning Student at the Academy

Chapter 5/Chapter 6/Chapter 7/Chapter 8

The four protagonists or the Four Heavenly Kings disappeared, a few days after being dumped by Selena.

"It was you, right?"

Marcus, upon seeing Karl in the instructor's office, bluntly asked him.

***

Goodness. I never imagined making a timetable would be this difficult.

Why are there so many overlapping classes? Didn't the professors discuss it with each other?

They shouldn't compete to see who can get more students into their classes!

What did I do in my freshman year? And in my previous life during university?

I'm sure I did well back then, but after two lifetimes worth of military service, it feels like my brain has reset.

And now I have this instinct that says, 'If I organize my schedule like this, I might die.'

Normally, asking the seniors for help would be the quickest solution.

But in terms of student seniority, my peers have already taken the top spots.

Below them are all the juniors I've never met before.

I barely know my peers' faces, so it's awkward to ask them anything.

Even though my social skills have naturally improved from rolling with the soldiers in the military. I'm not crazy enough to ask my juniors, who I don't even know, how to make a timetable.

In the end, I chose the path of least resistance, going to see Assistant Professor Marcus.

Maybe as my senior, he would give me advice on the timetable....

"It was you, right?"

As soon as I entered the office, Marcus bluntly threw that question at me.

At first, I blinked, not understanding what he meant.

"Huh?"

"You're the one who did it."

"No, I mean, if you keep cutting me off mid sentences like that—"

"Shulifen, Wilhelm, Alexander, and Joachim."

"Uh."

"The four who disappeared."

" ...Ah."

You mean the whereabouts of the Four Heavenly Kings. Well, about that....

"Do you have any evidence?"

I don't know. I'll just shamelessly wing it for now. Like do you have any evidence? Don't you know about the principle of evidence!

"Evidence? You want Evidence. I have evidence. There's the fact that you are constantly denying that you had nothing to do with it, but still wanting to see evidence, is the biggest evidence in itself, you moron."

Damn it, I've been caught. But it's okay because I'm really confident.

Honestly, what did I do? Did I brandish a knife, point a gun at them?

They're the ones who did it as soon as they heard my words.

"I just said that military life was helpful to me in various ways?"

"Yeah, you crazy bastard."

"Why are you like this? Honestly speaking, would someone who said they learned a lot in the military be considered crazy? Or would it be those who disappeared after saying they would enlist out of the blue?"
