30 minutes before 8 am, somebody comes to my office. Tok Tok Tok* I open my sleepy eyes, stretching before asking them to enter. Welcoming them while standing up for politeness. ""Hello."" ""Excuse our intrusion."" Turnout they are the optional subject teachers that stay in the same building as me. They came from other offices to another to greet all optional subject teachers. Three of them. They introduce themselves from the back on the right to left, Theo and Asfar, they are both commoners, while the woman in front is a noble from baron rank like me, Esmelda Rothchild. I also introduce myself to them and keep chattering with them before we reach the point I asked them about this building's residents. Esmelda says, "All the teachers on this floor and the second floor belong to the Optional subject teacher. We are not as many as the regular teachers. And by the way, we come from above to the first floor only to greet. Though there's still other floors above it-" "It's because t
'but he said the teacher was from an optional class.'Devon turned to his classmate."Hey, how do you know he's from an optional class!?"he asked, wanting to be sure. His classmate's face started to frown."hey? I'm not hey. I'm Regen!! call me Regen."Regen said, not liking Devon calling him that. Devon's eyes widened slightly at Regen's scolding. But at the same time, he seems to have heard that name.'Regen..?'After thinking for a moment, He then realized where he had heard that name.'ah- that person with the same score as me together with that girl!!'Yes, correct.Regen is one of the two other people who got the highest score like him on the list of new students. When he found out that his score was the same as two other people, he immediately saw the names of those people. And he remembered his name from the list.Regen.From his name, Devon knew that this man was a commoner unlike him and that girl. But he didn't care bout that fact at all.All he had was curious about who t
My pupil lost its focus. I stare at Affa, agitated.This statement from him, really makes me speechless.'no- there's no way. This- Perhaps...'I want to deny this reality, so I ask again,"I he-hear it wrong, right? yes!!! there's no way it's 35, right?? hahaha*"My hands that grip my pants were trembling. I let out an awkward laugh trying to stop the tremor that might slip my lips.But Affa quickly replies, kill me.(Nope~ he really just level 35.)'the h*ll...'he then promptly explains.(the average awakening level of this world is level 16. Passing level 20, it will be more difficult to level up. That's why the emperor can only level up to level 35. He can no longer progress rapidly without your help past that point. )huu*i take a deep breath before letting it out. I put my hands on the table trying to suppress my collapsing mind. 'let's think this through.'Attempting to understand this more straightly. I say,"...You have said that to me before, but I thought... not to this
I opened the door to my classroom. The atmosphere inside, which was quite noisy from the students present, turned quiet as soon as I stepped inside. they stood at their respective desks while my feet continued towards the teacher's desk which was at the podium of the class. I could see at first glance that only one of third of them in the student's list are here. 'huu* less than expected.' I then dispersed my aura. So that they could give me their greetings. "go-good morning, sir." Devon says follow by others. "good morning." My head nodded to them before gesturing my hand, telling them to sit. As I put my materials on the table. "sit down." They all sat down together. I then watched each of them slowly. My hands are on my desk. my face was cold, making my students look a little scared of me. But I didn't care and continued to introduce myself. "well.. maybe you already know, but my name is Dhaffa Arman. From today, I will be your teacher for morals & ethics and hunter & monst
'but i think if I didn't get involved with him, perhaps-' Before Elena could finish his thought, one of three people then react to Regen's taunt. "Just who are you!!?? how dare you speak like that to us!!" "what?? am I wrong?? you're the one who speaks such a thing first about our teacher!!" "hah?? so what!? it's true. What that has to do with you!!??" "you-" "Enough Regen!!!" Someone's sudden interference stops the situation which might escalate more. Not only four of them, everyone in the class turned towards that voice. 'young master Devon!!' Elena gulps her saliva the moment she saw him. She didn't know that the Duke's son is here in this class. 'and to think he stops this situation. Did they become friends??' Because she did see them interacting with each other. Still, she didn't think that they could be friends. But now, it doesn't seem like that at all. 'Perhaps, they become close because of how brazen Regen is.' Along with that thought, Devon's voice resurfaces aga
We move towards the location that I choose using the provided carriage. Among all the places that exist in this academy, the most appropriate place related to the subjects I teach, of course, it's a place called an 'Artificial Dungeon' located near the academy's reserve forest that was meant for training the students. Artificial Dungeon like its name was a dungeon. There are monsters that the academy artificially created inside it. The authorised teachers could select their numbers from the control rooms and currently, that person is me. I gather all my students outside of the dungeon gate. I told them, "as you know, this is an artificial dungeon. In there, there are monsters. So, I want you, in a group of three, to capture a monster in that place, observe it and of course, you also have to write a special report related to it. But don't worry, I don't need a long, rambling report. A simple one is enough. Each group will be exposed to a different type of monster. So, no one can imi
Devon observes the scene in front of him and waits together with his teammate. After a while, as there's no movement coming out from the front, he decides to venture forward, toward that fallen wolf. "let's go. We need to check on the wolf." His teammate that seems to agree with him also moves alongside him to forward. Nothing out of ordinary to their eyes. when they arrived in front of the wolf and Devon was about to reach towards it. Out of nowhere, the wolf suddenly moves and attacks Devon with his claw. '-!!! sh*t!!!' It was so sudden that Devon couldn't react in advance and could only watch as the wolf's claw almost reach his face. Tuck* Devon's body was pulled backwards. All of that happened due to the quick action of Ash who was right behind him. His eyes opened wide, not expecting to be saved by the monk. His face turned to look at him with a dazed face. Ash shout in frustration, "What are you doing, huh!? Why are you just looking at the beast attacking you!!?? Are you
"I will taunt it!!!" Ash suggests as he goes in front. Devon nodded in answer, "go ahead." "Alright..." Ash yanked his cape from his shoulders and held it up to his front like a shield. Neither Devon nor Tina understood what he was doing, but they still put their trust in him. 'he must have a reason for doing so.' that's what they believe in their minds. Ash muttered, "string of shield...-" then his cape continued to glow for a moment before turning into a square shield shape. His two teammates were surprised to see it. 'A cape turn to shield? wow- how did he do that?' Devon didn't understand the concept of successfully turning a piece of cloth into such a shield. After all, 'is it strong if the cloth is used as a shield?' He doubts that it will be that strong. Even so, while thinking that, he still prepares his spell to launch after Ash help buy him time. Ash's voice entered his ears again, "order smash!!!" this time, from the spell the monk's shout, a pained sound co
The students disperse, exchanging furtive glances as Damish's lackey shoots us a final glare before ushering Damish to leave. However, Damish remains rooted in place, gazing intently at us, deep in thought. Liara, still visibly shaken, meets my eyes with a blend of gratitude and uncertainty. "Thank you, sir," she murmurs, her voice barely audible. Disregarding Damish, I approach Liara and give her a nod. "Focus on your training. Don't let their petty behavior distract you. You have every right to be here, just like anyone else." "Yes, sir. Of course." "If you need assistance with your abilities, feel free to ask." "Um, sir, can I ask you a few things?" "What is it?" "It's about elements. You see, my element is lightning, and my awakening power is a lightning bolt. There are others with the same element, but it seems there's a limitation in using our powers. Why is that?" It's a question I once had when I first arrived here. In all honesty, awakening powers in this world diffe
My gaze shifts from them to the girl, who is nervously fidgeting with her staff. I decide to address her directly."What's your name?" I inquire calmly."Um, it's Liara, sir," she responds, still visibly shaken."Liara, do you understand how to control your abilities?" I ask.She nods hesitantly."Yes, sir. I've been practicing, but at times, it becomes challenging to control. Even so, today, I genuinely didn't cause anything that—""Stop trying to make excuses! Haven't you already admitted that you're not yet proficient with your power? You almost killed us today!" One of the young master's lackeys interjects, attempting to paint Liara as more guilty. Liara quickly retorts, "No! I didn't do it! You're lying—""Hah, what the heck are you saying? Everyone here saw you. Isn't that right, everyone?"However, when this happens, the lackey swiftly argues, rallying everyone watching to support their narrative. Thus, other students who were incited by him quickly follow his example and agree
"He must be fatigued."(tired?)"You see, Affa, I'm not sure about your age, but do you know how old Meor is?"(around 75 this year?)"What's with the question? Anyway, someone at that age is usually referred to as a grandfather and may have grandchildren."(but you don't-"Flick*(argh-૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა)"Not only that, our bones at that age are not what they used to be. Even though I know he's awakened, it doesn't change the fact that we're getting older."Moreover, Meor was a commander.How many years had he been on the battlefield? What kind of experiences has he gone through? No one knows that as well as he does. No matter how powerful a person may be, if they have to endure all those challenges for years, they will surely grow weary of it."Tired. It's not just physically but also mentally. That guy just wants to rest now, just like me. However, how absurd and frustrating it must be for him to be forced by the emperor to work again. Though it's not the same job as he used to do, it wo
The next day arrives, and I complete all my tasks for the day before heading to the principal's office, as Gina had instructed me to do. Upon reaching the office, I hear voices inside, indicating that the principal is in a discussion. I debate whether to knock on the door or wait. It seems their conversation is reaching its conclusion, but remaining silent might give the impression of eavesdropping. After contemplating for a moment, I decide to knock. knock, knock The conversation abruptly stops, and Gina opens the door for me. "Sir Dhaffa, please come in." I nod at her before turning my attention to the principal and the man with him. 'Who is it?' Although still curious, the principal greets me. "You've arrived, Sir Dhaffa. Please take a seat." I nod and walk toward them. "Am I interrupting, Sir Meor?" Meor glances at the man in front of him and then back at me, giving a slight wave of his hand. "Nah, we're finished here, right, Sir Adam?" "Yes, we're already done." Adam
Despite the irritating thoughts that buzzed in my mind, the principal's words found their way to my ears."I understand that you might perceive this as absurd, but I have full confidence in your ability to handle this admirably."I fixed the principal with a skeptical gaze for a moment, but then my expression softened, and I addressed him, "Principal Meor, if you don't mind me saying..."The principal nodded, giving me permission to speak, and I continued, "I'm a relatively new instructor here, and my presence is rather inconspicuous. It's quite intriguing that the higher-ups have taken notice of me and recommended me for this role, don't you think?"There was a fleeting change in the principal's expression, a momentary shift that I keenly observed. The principal then voiced his response,"Your observation is not without merit," he admitted. "It is true that you are a relatively recent addition to our academy's staff, and your previous work has been rather... plain. Therefore, I find
My eyebrows furrowed at the revelation. Gina's introduction suggested an official business, and it piqued my interest. The principal held significant authority at the Royal Hunter Academy. "Academy's principal?" I repeated, my tone more composed than before. "What business does the academy's principal have with me?" Gina appeared relieved that I was now taking her seriously. "The principal requests your presence for a meeting, sir. It concerns a matter of utmost importance. I understand that you value your weekend, but this is a matter of great urgency." I considered her words for a moment, weighing the inconvenience of having my weekend interrupted against the urgency implied in her message. The principal wouldn't summon me without reason, and if it was a matter of significance, I had a responsibility to address it. "Very well," I finally conceded. "I will accompany you to the office. Let me make the necessary preparations." Gina nodded appreciatively. "Thank you for your underst
"So, to begin with, following the completion of the Magic Train project as per your instructions, we've been diligently working on the Flying Ship," Alvis explained. "However, due to our current commitments in developing the magical infrastructure and aligning it with other countries, the Flying Ship project had to be temporarily put on hold." I acknowledged Alvis's explanation with a nod of understanding. I had observed the efforts of Alvis and my other disciples prior to my arrival, and the noticeable improvements in various aspects of infrastructure and construction were a testament to their dedication. "The progress I've seen, from the buildings to the roads, is a clear indication of your hard work and the power of magic," I thought to myself. (You must be feeling quite proud, aren't you?) Affa remarked with a snort, casting me a sidelong glance as if to remind me that these achievements were largely thanks to the previous Dhaffa, not me. I couldn't deny that fact, and I replie
I continued to explore Central Elvan City, captivated by the architecture and the blend of modernity with the aesthetics of a bygone era. The city was bustling with activity, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at how seamlessly they had integrated technology with their historical surroundings. As I walked down the cobblestone streets, I noticed street vendors selling all sorts of goods, from exotic foods to handmade crafts. The air was filled with the aroma of delicious dishes, and the lively chatter of the locals added to the vibrant atmosphere. I decided to visit a nearby market, where stalls were adorned with colorful fabrics and intricate jewelry. It was a sensory delight, with the vibrant colors and textures invoking a sense of wonder. I couldn't resist picking up a few souvenirs to remember this unique experience. Next, I ventured to a quaint café tucked away in a charming alley. It had a rustic charm that was both inviting and relaxing. I ordered a cup of their speci
I stare down at my student that fidgeting among them. They were all didn't know how to answer me and some even looking so clueless. Haa*Thus sigh comes out from my mouth is enough to make them flinch. At the Meantime, I ask "what are my two class?" "Dungeon & Monster and... Moral and ethics, sir." Devon answer me despite looking slightly frightened. I thus smile and nods, saying. "right... That are the two of them. So now, the question is, which lesson is obviously shown to you in this time trip?" "Dungeon & monster!!" The students shout in unison, breaking me into farther grin and nodding again. I continued, "right... The Dungeon & monster subject... The assignment that related to it is this dungeon and... The monster that you guys catch. That report that you guys need to write after this. It's related to that subject. So then... Where is the other subject's lesson, you might think~ing... But truthfully... It's already given to you guys before. "" eh? "" what he's talking
