Back at school...
As the four of them entered the classroom, there were still ten minutes left before class started.
But this time, there was an extra seat next to Amy, who signaled Luqing to come over and sit next to her.
Luqing looked over to Alex, who didn't react to it at all as he sat down in his seat.
Sophia and Mary were doing the same, so Luqing decided to head over to Amy to sit down next to her.
"Good morning, Amy."
"Good morning, Luqing."
With everyone in the classroom, Amy began the class a little early as she walked up to the podium.
"Good morning everyone. I hope you all spent your time well with Miss Luqing.
Did any of them misbehave or anything? You don't have to protect them. I'll carry out the punishment myself."
Seeing Luqign shaking her head, all of the kids let out a sigh of relief.
"That's good. Ahem, then let's start the class."
As Amy began to write on the blackboard, Luqing took out a blank paper from her backpack.
"Today, I will be explaining why mana reacts differently with certain metals..."
The lecture sounds didn't distract Luqing a single bit as she started to write a detailed plan she had in mind since last night.

By the time lunchtime had arrived, her notebook was already full of words and pictures.
"Luqing, do you want to go to the teacher cafeteria together? We can chat for a bit about the class."
Once again, Luqing looked over to the three kids as if she were asking permission from them.
However, none of them reacted as they all left with Sophia's friend to go to the cafeteria.
"Sure."

As Alex followed Sophia and Chloe to the cafeteria, his mind was thinking about the class lecture.
Specifically, I will discuss the conductivity of rare metals and the reasoning behind why magic wands exist.
Even though Katherine had already brought various magical equipment for them, all of them were locked behind a level 3 mage.
"Alex, you there?" Camille asked after noticing him not ordering any food as they sat down.
"Yeah, I'm here.."
As Alex opened the menu and began ordering the food, his sister and the other four had already finished ordering.
"Sophia, finish the story already!" Evelynn impatiently asked, with the other three all demanding the same.
"Okay, okay, I'll continue with the story..."
While Sophia began recounting what happened during the competition, Alex's attention was drawn to the poster on the wall.
It was a poster with a recruitment letter for the engineering club.
Even though it said the word 'engineering,' the infographic showed summoned golems with a ton of lines.
Combined with what Miss Amy had taught today, with conductivity, a strong memory hit him right in the head.

When the four had returned home, Katherine and Meiya were both sitting in the living room.
"Welcome back."
"Mom, is dinner ready yet?"
Sophia asked as the three of them threw their backpack onto the rack before collapsing onto the sofa.
"It's only five o'clock. Why would I cook dinner this early?" Katherine questioned.
"But I'm so hungry! Mom, please! Mary, you're hungry too, right?"
Seeing Mary nodding in agreement with Sophia, Katherine finally budged to their demands.
"Fine..."
As Katherine headed inside the kitchen, Meiya's attention was solely on Luqing.
"How was your class today?"
"I didn't need to teach today. Me and Amy had lunch together to set up to have me teach on the evening of the odd days."
"That's nice of her. Sound like you are getting well with your new coworker..."
As the two ran out of topics to discuss, Alex suddenly asked a question of his own.
"Luqing, what were you writing in class today? You don't have to say it if it is a secret."
"It's the exercises that I had planned for you guys... Mom, can you have a look at it?"
"Sure."
As Luqing took her notebook out of her backpack and flipped to the right page, all three of the kids became curious.
But none of them got up from their sofas, as it was clearly intended to be a secret.
"These are pretty nice exercising... But I think this would be more appropriate..."
Watching Luqing and Meiya talk back and forth about the class, Alex couldn't help but smile.
It was clear that Katherine's idea of having Luqing as a teacher was working perfectly.
At least in terms of seeing Meiya and Luqing both getting closer together.
"I'm going to go take a shower first, Mom!" Sophia and Mary yelled as they ran towards the room.
"You two better hurry! The food is almost done."
Seeing everyone having things to do, Alex's mind was more happy than ever.
He wishes he could just capture this peaceful moment in life, but unfortunately, the day has to continue.
As Katherine carried the plate full of food onto the table, the two were still far from finishing showering.
"These two idiots... Always asking for food but never coming in time." Katherine murmured, her face looking more and more grumpy.
"Alex, you hungry yet?"
"Not really... I'll eat later."
As Alex closed his eyes to enter a mediation state, Katherine turned her attention over to the other two.
"Meiya, Luqing, do you two want to eat dinner?'
"Sure."
The two quickly closed the notebook before getting up and heading over to the dining table.
