Chapter 94: The Teaching Bureau
"Huff~ Huff~"
Standing at the classroom door, Luo Qixi took a deep breath. Her blue hair was neatly braided and hung down her back. She was wearing the most mature and suitable robe for a professor, which she had just bought from the Lanleta Chamber of Commerce.
Even so, she was still a little nervous. The reason was simple: this was her first class, and it was still unknown whether she could teach the new students well.
Moreover, he was carrying a monthly salary of one Asura gold coin on his shoulders. In this era where teachers are exploiting students and unwilling to pay, this was a considerable income.
If she didn't teach well, she might really get her salary docked, and Luo Qixi felt that the teacher would be happy to do so... However, after slowly tightening her grip on the staff in her hand, that bit of tension disappeared.
"Clatter".
She reached out, pushed open the door, and stepped into the classroom.
Then she stood steadily on the podium, exhaled a slight breath of stale air, and looked around at the students present.
The students' faces showed surprise, doubt, and some were even whispering among themselves.
Luo Qixi coughed and straightened her expression: "Everyone...please be quiet."
"I am your beginner magic professor: Lokishi Migrudia." As she spoke, the students' surprise grew even more intense.
It was obvious that Luo Qixi, who looked like a child, did not resemble a teacher at all.
"Are you kidding me?" asked a deer-like orc. "This joke isn't funny."
"You look like a little kid."
"First of all, I'm not a child, and secondly, I'm not joking." Loki frowned and gripped her staff: "Ice Lance Blizzard."
As she chanted, several ice spears rapidly materialized behind her, their speed astonishing the students.
The orc whose leg went weak immediately took a step back, while the other students also showed expressions of astonishment.
"This is high-level water magic." With a slight tap of her staff, Lokishi caused the ice spears to disappear. Then she slowly said, "Although this isn't a high-level spell, I think it's enough to teach you."
Seeing her serious expression, the students no longer had any objections, and some even showed expressions of admiration.
"I never imagined someone so young would already be such a powerful magician!"
Okay, they still think Loki is a child.
However, seeing that they were no longer disrespectful, Luo Qixi nodded in satisfaction and took out a manual.
"Next is roll call," she said, coughing slightly. "Jack Rowe."
As she spoke, the students slowly stood up.
Luo Qixi got to know her students one by one in this serious manner.
But when she turned to the last page, she clearly paused for a moment.
The reason is simple: the student's name on the last page is Sylvania Ciderlin.
Did the teacher write this wrong?
Or is he playing some kind of nasty joke?
Luo Qixi raised an eyebrow. Did the teacher think I would be stupid enough to pronounce the name?
Isn't it obvious that the teacher's name is written backwards?
Luo Qixi shook her head slightly, feeling helpless about the teacher's silly joke, when she suddenly noticed a student sitting in the corner of the classroom.
The student was young and had a thick head of black hair... but what really surprised Luo Qixi was her eyes.
Those were blood-red eyes, eyes she knew all too well.
Wait... Teacher, what brings you here?!
That girl with the slight upturn of her lips is clearly a teacher! Teacher, do you think I won't recognize you just because you dyed your hair?!
And it was staring straight at me...
Upon seeing the teacher, Luo Qixi was momentarily at a loss for words, but fortunately, her slightly lowered head as she looked at the manual did not arouse any suspicion from the students.
But... what are you doing here, teacher?! Are you here to laugh at me? Or to cause trouble?! Having a class in front of a teacher is just so incredibly awkward!
After a few seconds of silence, Luo Qixi knew that saying that wouldn't work, and asking the teacher to leave was even less likely... The best way... should be to pretend that she didn't see the teacher, right?
If I pretend I didn't see the teacher, she'll probably lose her playfulness and leave, right?
Taking a deep breath, Luo Qixi slowly closed the manual.
"I'm so glad everyone came to the first class... That's great... because..." As she spoke, Luo Qixi's eyes involuntarily looked at the teacher, and then she suddenly stopped talking.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and immediately interrupted, saying, "Because the first lesson is very important... The learning of basic magic is the foundation for learning subsequent magic."
She pursed her lips, then slowly opened her book, and casually said to the students, "Please turn to the first page of your textbooks as well."
"The first page explains the origin of magic and what magic is... I believe that all of you who have enrolled should have some understanding of this."
"Then I won't go into details here..."
Before she knew it, Luo Qixi had entered a teaching mode. As it was her first class, Luo Qixi was well prepared, so as soon as she got into the zone, the teacher seemed to disappear.
And to her surprise, the teacher seemed to have really just come over to listen. The teacher didn't cause any trouble or say anything, just like an ordinary student sitting in the corner.
Time flies, and the first class ended in the blink of an eye.
After class, the students all ran to the podium and looked at Luo Qixi with curiosity.
"How old are you, teacher?"
"Teacher, are you even younger than us?"
"Teacher, are you a Saint-level mage? I've never seen a Saint-level mage before!"
"Teacher, you're so cute! Can we go out together?"
Surrounded by students, Luo Qixi was a little embarrassed. She hadn't expected the students to be so curious about her... although the things they were curious about were a bit strange.
Doesn't anyone want to ask about magic or anything?!
This is supposed to be a magic university!
Sidlin, sitting in the corner, looked at everything in front of her with a slight smile.
This was indeed her, and she didn't have any intention of hiding it; she was genuinely there to listen to Luo Qixi's lecture.
Of course, she wasn't worried about Luo Qixi or thinking that she might be bullied by some bad students. She just wanted to see if Luo Qixi had learned anything from her, her excellent teacher.
I'm fairly satisfied with the result. Although I didn't learn a lot, I've at least gotten the hang of it.
In that case, it shouldn't be a problem, right?
Slightly relieved, Catherine yawned, then stretched and left the classroom.
It's daytime now, and she needs to catch up on her sleep... Besides, she's been getting sleepier and sleepier lately...
She yawned again, feeling that there were some things she needed to do sooner rather than later, lest she forget them all after falling asleep.
