The Unexpected Teacher and a Hidden Plan

A month had passed since Kaito first found himself in his favorite anime world, What is Love. During that time, he had joined an adventurer’s guild, determined to make a name for himself. Thanks to his unique dual-element magic black and white and his hard work, Kaito quickly rose through the ranks, gaining a strong reputation among adventurers.
At the same time, the elite academy in the Kingdom of Ilenia, where nobles like Prince Alex, Princess Livia, and Rena attended, was searching for a new teacher skilled in combat and magic. Kaito received an invitation to meet with the academy's headmaster, a man named Leon.
Upon hearing the name, Kaito chuckled. “Leon, huh? Such a cool name, but it turns out... he’s an old man holding the position of headmaster,” Kaito murmured to himself, amused by the irony.
(The Meeting with Headmaster Leon)
Kaito arrived at the grand office of the headmaster, decorated with elegant but modest furnishings. There, an elderly man with a white beard and sharp eyes waited behind a desk. Despite his age, his face radiated authority and experience. This was Leon, the elite academy’s headmaster, known for his firm control over the academy’s rules.
Leon studied Kaito with interest. “So, you’re Kaito, the adventurer who rose through the ranks quickly?” Leon’s voice was deep and commanding.
Kaito grinned and nodded. “That’s right, Headmaster. Your name, Leon, sounds cool like the name of a hero in a story,” he joked.
Leon snorted, not smiling, but his eyes sparkled with amusement. “A name is just a name, young man. It’s the person who gives it meaning,” he replied with a stern tone.
Kaito grinned wider, finding the conversation more intriguing. “Alright, Mr. Leon. So, why did you call me here?”
Leon adjusted his posture. “This academy is in need of an instructor to train noble students in combat and magic. We need someone with real experience, and news of your talent with dual-element magic has reached my ears. I’d like to offer you this position.”
Kaito paused, surprised by the offer. “You want me to teach the nobles here?”
Leon nodded. “Yes. You will train them in combat, elemental control, and battle tactics. Many of our students rely too heavily on their noble status without understanding the true meaning of strength. I need someone who can teach them the real value of power.”
Kaito thought over Leon’s words, realizing what a rare opportunity this was. By becoming a teacher, he could be closer to Rena at the academy and keep an eye on her. Finally, he nodded with confidence. “Alright, Mr. Leon, I’ll accept this offer. I want to teach them not only the art of combat but also the values and responsibilities that come with power.”
Leon nodded approvingly. “Good. You’ll begin tomorrow. Be prepared, as many of our students are difficult to handle and rather stubborn. But I believe you’ll manage.”
Kaito chuckled. “Getting to challenge the nobles? This will be interesting.”
Leon looked at him meaningfully. “I hope so. Remember one thing, Kaito… Though you are a teacher, you are still in a noble environment. Ensure that you follow the rules and uphold the honor of this academy.”
(A Hidden Plan)
After leaving Leon’s office, Kaito strolled down the academy halls, his mind racing. Internally, he couldn’t help but feel both awe and excitement. "Leon… the legendary hero of the Kingdom of Ilenia, now here before me, even offering me this prestigious role."
In the anime, Leon had been a formidable hero who once defended the kingdom against many powerful threats.
Kaito felt both intrigued and opportunistic, seeing a chance behind it all. "If I can get closer to Leon and gain his trust, I might just be able to secure a position and influence among the nobles." He understood how important it was to gain influence in this world, especially if he wanted to protect Rena.
“This isn’t just about protecting Rena. It’s also about proving I can achieve something in this world,” Kaito thought. “Leon may be strict and stern, but I know from the anime that he respects people with determination and sincerity. I’ll prove to him that, even as a commoner, I deserve to be here.”
With a renewed sense of resolve, Kaito prepared himself for the challenges of becoming a teacher at the noble academy, all while quietly scheming his way to higher influence in the world that had now become his life.
