My Homeroom Teacher Was the Enemy

Yorkshire was my most trusted teacher. She kindly encouraged me when I had just become the headmistress of the board.

But he is the Demon Lord's closest confidant.

(I'm really shocked... He was so kind, and now he's on the Demon Lord's side.)

Professor Zion warned me to be careful.

But it was Yorkshire who had the students' confidential information. I decided to sneak a look at the students' documents while their teacher, Yorkshire, was away.

(There was a recent aptitude test. I want to see the results and find out what the current students are capable of. I need to find some peers.)

Then, a dark shadow approached from behind. Before I could even turn around in surprise, my whole body froze.

(...It won't move! What is this...?)

A silvery light emanates from Yorkshire's palm, enveloping me. It seems he's using spatial magic to lock my body in place. I'm so terrified I can barely breathe.

"Oh dear, Susie. What were you trying to peek at?"

"I'm the chairperson. What's wrong with looking at the documents?"

"This is classified information... New students are not allowed to see this. Shall we restrict your freedom of movement forever?"

「…！」

A dark curse closes in, making it difficult to breathe. Just when all hope seemed lost, Miranda and her best friend burst in, physically destroying the distortion in space.

"Teacher! I need your help with my homework!"

"Miranda! Come to the faculty office later."

The Yorkshire spell that had made her run away in a panic dissipated. Susie felt a sudden sense of relief and exchanged glances with Miranda.

"Th-thank you... why did you come?"

Miranda smiled and patted me on the back.
