: Teacher vs Teacher (1)
"How were the students?"
On the way back to the office, Javelin asked.
Jamie thought for a moment before answering.
"There are some good kids."
"Hey. Who are you?"
"All my peers were fine. It was difficult to achieve at that age."
Javelin looked at Jamie with a curious expression as she replied that way. I couldn't figure out how to respond when someone of my age, who had achieved a level beyond comparison itself, said this.
I continued to listen to Jamie.
"It certainly seemed like a place where outstanding talents were gathered. Especially a friend named Anne."
"Oh, Anne. That kid is so smart."
"At first, I wondered why I was in the Alpha class, but as time passed, I understood."
"It's different from other kids in starting to think. He's a kid that even the academy watches closely."
"I thought so."
Although short, the process of deducing Jamie's subject was impressive even now.
Unfortunately, it seems that his magic skills are not innate, but if given a chance, he will grow explosively.
'I mean, that guy came to mind.'
Among the pupils of a previous life, there was a child like Anne.
- Master! I've figured out the structure of how this flower was derived!
-Master, what do you think of the starting point of the element? I am .
-The structure of the spell is understandable, but I can't do it my way.
Unlike his extraordinary brain, he was a disappointment because his magic skills could not keep up.
So it was especially painful fingers.
'But in the end he turned his back on me.'
- Master. sorry I'm sorry. really sorry.
The disciple who left with sad eyes until the end.
Jamie sighed briefly.
"Are there any concerns?"
Ah. No. I just thought a little about what class I should take."
Aha. After all, even if you are not nervous, being a human being in a place like this is bound to make you nervous."
It was a different matter from tension, but Jamie didn't bother to answer and smiled awkwardly.
'Let's forget the past.'
A past that cannot be undone.
The disciples who turned their backs on him no longer exist in the world. So many years passed.
But, even if there is one who has survived... .
'Let's think about it later.'
Jamie clenched a small fist and entered the classroom.
* * *
"This is my first class, so the subject teacher will be assigned as a shooter. You can check how the class is going with him today."
Thank you.
"Then I have a class too."
Javelin left to prepare for class with a friendly smile.
Jamie, seated in her temporary assigned seat, sighed low, leaning back in her chair.
I was a little tired because I had been busy since early morning.
But this is the workplace. As long as you become a teacher, even on a temporary basis, you will receive a salary. So, shouldn't it be enough to receive?
Jamie's life motto was to give back what you receive . 12 In order to give back as much as I received from the gods, didn't I become strong like this?
Of course, there was still a long way to go.
"Let's see. The elementary school magic circle teacher... ."
Jamie quickly looked up information about his shooter.
My name is Keniac Azir.
thirty-five years old. A 5th class wizard, he learned magic from Serpent Gerol. With great interest in the magic circle, he published more than thirty papers, five of which were recognized by the international magic circle.
'The picture looks pretty insidious.'
The dark brown hair down to his neck was tangled in a mess, and his cheeks were sunken because he couldn't eat properly.
The dark circles were so severe that they could not be covered in the photo, and the droopy eyes and eyes had no strength.
My shoulders were drooping, too, and I couldn't understand why this picture was used as the main thing.
You can't judge a person just by looking at their appearance, but it wasn't an impression that would make you feel good at first meeting.
'More than that Is your teacher a Serpent Gerol?'
3 Elder Serpent Gerol. A middle-aged man who could not hide his inferiority complex towards himself when he first came to the world of magic.
A disciple of such a master... .
It is said that people should not be judged only by their appearance.
Hmm. You can see it for yourself."
Even if you don't want to see them anyway, you have to go to the same class together in 2 hours.
Then, someone cautiously approached Jamie.
"Master Jamie."
I turned around and saw Sophia standing there.
It was the teacher who ran screaming and running like a big fan of Jamie when she first entered the office.
Jamie pulled back her chair slightly and looked at Sophia with a vigilant look on her face.
haha There is nothing I can do to respond that way, but I didn't come here for that. I came here to apologize because I didn't know it a while ago."
is that so?
Yeah. I'm sorry. I was surprised to see the most famous star in front of my nose these days... ."
"I don't know why I became a star, but please don't do that next time. I am very upset."
Yes Yes!
Sophia nodded her head proudly.
Looking at his face, he seems to be sincerely apologizing for what happened a while ago. I don't think I'm lying, I was really surprised, so I decided to understand.
'That's the problem with being popular.'
Jamie asked Sophia, thinking in vain.
"But what did you come here for? I don't think you came here just to apologize.
"Because of Mr. Kennyak."
"Are you my shooter?"
Yeah. I'm here to tell you to be careful.
be careful?
Before she could even ask what that meant, Sophia spoke first.
"He feels inferior to someone who is better than him. It's not that I'm just doing harm, but there are rumors that if I'm even a little better than myself, or if there's any sign of that, I'll gossip, spread strange rumors, or gossip."
i See.
"Ms. Jamie achieved the feat of class 6 at a young age, so Ms. Kennyak won't treat her well. Besides, the teachers are the three elders... ."
Serpent Gerol's personality was so famous that even the teachers were known.
Jamie smiled and nodded.
Okay. Thank you for your words."
"By the way, may I ask you a favor?"
"What request?"
"Okay, just one autograph Hehe.
Jamie let out a low sigh as Sophia smiled awkwardly and asked her a favor.
* * *
It was class time.
Jamie got up from her seat with her designated textbook.
And I found a man standing by the door. He was a man with deep dark circles, and his cheeks were hollowed out like a skull.
It was Kennyak Azir, who gave the impression of looking damp in a much darker atmosphere than what he saw in the photo.
Come this way.
Kennyak left a short word and went out.
"You look very tired."
Jamie mumbled and followed him.
Kennyak, who was waiting outside, saw Jamie come out and moved on without a word this time.
Embarrassed to go on like this, Jamie looked back at him and said hello.
Good morning. Nice to meet you. This is Jamie Welton, who has been teaching for a month from today."
"The Welton family. It's a very nice verse. Because I made my name known all over the world with one sword. The current headmaster is also a great sword master."
Jamie laughed when he heard that.
It was like asking, "Why the hell was a talented wizard like you born in such a place?"
Kennyak glanced back and frowned slightly.
"I thought rumors were always going to be exaggerated. How old were you?"
"I am eight years old."
"8 years old What did I do when I was 8? what do you know It's not like anyone else has been asking me if I'm coming or going since I was 8 years old.
I know I'm a very crooked person.
Kennyak deliberately mumbled unpleasant words in a low voice, as if to listen.
'Hey. It's a rare group of humans.'
It's been a long time since I've seen a human being so openly sarcastic.
Even his teacher, Serpent, did not express his inferiority complex in front of the person concerned, but the disciple was a bit more outgoing.
"Are you even learning the sword? I wish I had a lot of talent. There is still time left even after studying magic."
right? It's good to be full of talent."
When Jamie answered with a broad smile, Kennyak stopped.
I looked at him and said it again.
"It would be great for other people to know that even if you stand still, you will rise to the top. Isn't it?
" ."
Kennyak stared at Jamie silently, then looked back and walked.
There must have been no one in my life who responded with this kind of reaction, and even if I pretended not to, there was a sign of confusion.
"Please tell me how the class is going today! I will absorb it as soon as I see it!"
At Jamie's last words, Kennyak speeded up.
let's go together!
Jamie shouted in a lively voice and followed him.
Javelin, watching the scene from afar, sips the coffee from the paper cup and smiles.
* * *
"I don't want to take magic classes."
"Because Kennyak is scared. From appearance to voice. uh... ."
"But it's good that Jamie is here with you."
"But I still can't get used to it. That I have to call a kid younger than me a teacher... ."
Elementary school alpha class students gathered during break time and chatted diligently.
Then, a student ran into the class and shouted.
"The ghost teacher is coming!"
'Ghost Teacher' was the nickname for Kennyak, given to students because of his ghost-like appearance.
The students, who had gathered in a few groups and chattering, hurriedly returned to their seats at the sound.
In the meantime, Anne was studying the spellbook without losing her concentration, and Lennon was lying on her desk yawning.
The door opened and Kennyak entered. Then Jamie came in.
Kennyak said as he glanced at the students quickly with wide eyes.
"If I hear the sound of a ghost in my ear one more time, I will not let it go. Do you understand, Hamel?"
" Sorry.
Hamel was a student who just ran into the class shouting that he was a ghost teacher.
He was the kind of kid who was always scolded for calling the teacher by his nickname without notice, who had one in each class.
Kennyak stood on the educational platform. Jamie followed him without a word.
"Starting today, the genius wizard Jamie Wellton has been teaching you for a month. would you like it? You're the ones who croak every day, so you don't have to see a ghost like me for a while. Would you like it?"
'Wow. He's a really boring person.'
It was the first time I had ever seen a human start class in the morning while sarcastic to students.
If this was a place only aristocrats went to, there would be nothing to say even if the branches flew right away.
"But he said he had to learn from me because he didn't know how to teach, no matter how genius he was."
"I didn't say that."
"So, I'm going to show him how the class feels for about 30 minutes."
Jamie tackled it, but Kennyak ignored it and said only what he wanted to say.
In this way, he seemed to have a personality that raised his self-esteem.
I thought it was very different.
I watched Kennyak, thinking about listening to another one.
"From today on, you will learn the deepening part of the six-dimensional nature, especially the synergy from the symmetry of the symbol, the nature of the pattern, the stimulation and change of the attribute, diversification and side effects.
It was a difficult title to listen to.
"In a nutshell, it means to teach the strengths and weaknesses of the patterns used for yukmanseong."
So Jamie explained it in an easy way, and I stared at Kennyak with a face that looked like he was stuck.
Jamie just smiled and shrugged.
"If you speak hard, it is difficult for students to understand. Isn't that right, Mr. Kennyak?
" Truly a genius."
Sparks flew between the two of them.
The students swallowed dry saliva and watched the scene.
"What is this? I'd rather you take a class from now on. Not someone who teaches complicated things like me, but someone who makes things simple like you."
"That's fine. Perhaps because I am the same age as the students, I think I can communicate better."
"I beg you, please."
Hahaha.
"Whoops."
The two teachers looked at each other and started laughing.
'Why are these children here?!'
After completing the transfer procedures today, Lennon began to doubt whether this academy was right.
