Chapter 335: Back to Teaching
Having no other choice, I go to the campus to teach air element. It"s a good thing that I need only to teach for a few hours every week.
As for medical knowledge, I actually hoped that I get more time to teach the doctors about it. But once a week, with everyone attending truly want to learn and not having someone with troublesome pride that won"t allow someone younger to teach them, it was fun.
Air element though, there is only one student. Sara. Though sometimes Dean would attend as well. But now, thanks to Sara getting a spot in the tournament, the popularity of air element in the campus risen. And Sara has been teaching them as my a.s.sistant when I went on a mission. That"s what Kayla said.
Now I have returned, I will be the one teaching them. Though I don"t know how much she has taught them, so I need to have a discussion with her first before cla.s.s.
What I didn"t expect was that there are more than fifty students already in my cla.s.s even before it started. Sara was among them. But… most of them are boys. Should I say as expected?
Well, Kayla, Jewel, and probably Sophie as well, they are all popular. But they have me, so the boys don"t have a chance at all. as for Sara, I think she"s still single. And with how strong she was, many boys approached her.
I bet only half of the cla.s.s has air element. Or even less. I"m prepared to be disappointed.
I entered the cla.s.s and act like a teacher should be.
"Good morning, cla.s.s! I"m sorry that I have been gone for a while because of some urgent business. But thanks to Sara, she subst.i.tuted me and should have taught you well. In case you don"t know me, I"m Roy. For most of you, we meet for the first time today." I said as gently as possible.
"Leave! We want Sara to teach us!"
"Yes! Leave!"
"This is not your place!"
It started with one boy shouting. He was sitting next to Sara.
After he shouted, the other boys shouted as well. Let"s see… about ten of them?
"First, I"m her teacher who taught her air magic. I might not be there during the selection battle, but if you saw her using air magic, it was thanks to me teaching her. Which mean if you are here to learn mora bout air magic, this is your place. But if you are not here to learn, then leave. You"re bothering those who wanted to learn." I said strictly.
"Hah! What are you going to do then!?"
The first boy who shouted asked, challenging me.
…I"m too tired to care about little fight after my mission. Let"s just put those who shouted to sleep.
"Go to sleep." I said as I activated air magic to spread sleeping gases. But I control the spread of the gas so it will only go to the boys who were shouting before.
One by one, the ten annoying boys fall to the ground and fainted. The tenth boy realized that it was because of my magic, but it was too late when he reacted.
"Now, to those who are still conscious, I just use air magic to put all these boys to sleep. This is something that Sara can"t use that well. She can use it, but can"t control it as good as I just did. Now, if you are not here to learn, leave my cla.s.s. Take the sleeping students with you as well. Just know that I"m the strongest man here." I said imposingly.
Seeing what happened, the students who were relaxing and although they didn"t say it out loud like the other, still made fun of me, shocked in fear.
Realizing that fighting me is useless, they tried to leave the cla.s.s.
"Stop. Bring these fainted students with you. They will wake up after a few hours."
The students returned, taking the fainted boys with them, and leave me cla.s.s.
Originally, there were fifty of them. Now, forty-six of them leave the cla.s.s, leaving only four students including Sara.
"Sara, what have you taught while I leave?" I asked Sara.
"Nothing. None of those people are air mages. As for these three, this is their first day in this cla.s.s." Sara said.
"None of them air mages? Then why were they here?"
"Because of the selection battle. When it started, some noticed me doing well in the battle. Then, they saw me in this cla.s.s alone. When I asked them if they want to learn air magic, they said that none of them are air mages. So, I kept ignoring them. Now that I was selected for the tournament, they became even more persistent. But thanks to you, they are leaving." Sara explained.
…why are the men in this world are so annoying? Is it the same in Victoria"s world? Are most men like this when they see women?
Sigh… I just hope they won"t cause trouble to us anymore.
As for the other three students, I can see their reaction when I put the bad students to sleep. They are excited and their eyes are sparkling. Two of them are girls, and one is a boy. Let"s ask them just in case.
"So, you three are still here. What do you wish to learn?"
"I want to learn that Air Cannon like Sara did!" one girl said.
"Me too!" The other girl next to her said.
"I want that too! And the thing that made those boys asleep!" The boy said.
"Why do you want to put people to sleep? If you have the same impure motives as the boys just before, I won"t teach you anything." I said.
"No, it"s not that! My other elements are too weak for me to improve. Even other students can do better when we have the same level. So, I thought I will have a chance in becoming stronger with air magic."
"Okay. But just in case you will do something bad with what I will teach you, sleeping gas is not the worst I can give you. You got that!" I said imposingly again. This time, I slightly used Aura so I seem to be more overbearing than before. This is a good way to intimidate people.
The boy shivering in fear, but his eyes still have determination.
"Understood! If I do something bad in the future, then kill me!"
This boy has determination. Maybe I will ask him why he go so far to get stronger. Who knows if he can be our reliable ally in the future?
"Well, let"s start the lesson then. I can continue from where we were last time, but this is the first cla.s.s for the three of you. You"re lucky that air element cla.s.s is not popular. Since most of you are new, I will teach from the start again. Sara, if you don"t want to listen, you can go to other cla.s.s." I said.
"I"ll stay here." Sara said.
"If that"s what you want."
Then, I started the cla.s.s with an introduction to air element.
It has been a while since I teach, so I hope I didn"t get rusty.
…well, I never really had any other students other than Sara, so this is actually my first time teaching in cla.s.s.
Dean didn"t come. He usually would attend my cla.s.s from time to time. I guess he"s busy since the tournament is getting closer. Probably helping at the site of the tournament, Melk. Ca.s.sau is closer to Melk than any other colleges in this kingdom after all.
I also didn"t see him in his office. If he"s still there at the time I teach the doctors about medical knowledge from the future, I will bring him back with portal.
My lecture went well. The other three students listened properly to my lesson. And when there"s something they don"t understand, they asked questions. Good thing those questions are something that I can answer.
"Alright. Cla.s.s is over. It has just been one hour. Next is practical training. Hmm… I"ll go ask for permission to use the Arena. It"s empty today."
Since I don"t want to use portal, I"ll just have some practice in the Arena.
The one I need to ask for permission is Wendy. She was surprised to see that I have returned. And I just sigh as I answered that I just returned and have to teach already.
Wendy easily gives me permission until my cla.s.s is over
I went to the Arena where Sara and the others already waiting. I asked Sara to not bring out her gun because I don"t want the others to think I"m playing favorite. Though I might give them some guns I made by myself.
The first thing I taught them is to shoot an object. I grabbed several rubber b.a.l.l.s for training. In case it hit other people, it won"t hurt as much.
The result was quite surprising. The two girls" progress was average. Probably just like me during the first time practicing it. As for the boy, he can already shoot in a straight line. He just needs to improve his accuracy.
I praised them all for getting that far and told them to practice more even outside my cla.s.s. Should I say the cla.s.s went well?
