Event Story – Study Diligently, Dear Students, ch.4

[kozvme]

 

Nico: ......

Students: ......

Nico: ......

Male student C: Uhm... we can start now.

Nico: Is that so? Let's start, then.
My name's Nico and I'll be teaching you this class.
I don't like explanations, so I won't repeat myself.

Male student C: (This teacher is quite laid-back...)

Nico: There are different types of hero abilities: some can cast shadows, with some you can recover fast, and some induce hallucinations.
This is mine.

Male student C: Huh? He left...

Nico: I'm here.

Male student C: Mitosis...!?

Female student C: T- That's not it, he teleported.

Nico: That's right, mass transfer is my ability. I just moved myself.

Female student C: It sounds really handy...

Nico: I can also move things, so I don't have to play catch with others.

Male student C: Ooh...

Nico: You were supposed to laugh at that.

Male student C: Huh... Ah- Ahahah.

Nico: It doesn't really matter.
... I'm hungry. I'm going to eat, so enjoy a free study period.

Female student C: Huh...?

Nico: *Munch, munch*... What?

Female student C: U- Uhm, why are you eating...?

Nico: I get hungry when I use my ability. That's why.

Female student C: B- but... Is it okay to eat in class...?

Nico: I used to get into trouble for eating.
Oh, maybe I should let you eat and drink during my class... Eat whenever you want.
If you're not going to, make a list of the abilities you want and how you'd use them.

Female student C: O- Okay...



Bianchi: It's finally over. It's been a long time since I've felt time go by so slowly...

Jude: Agreed. It was really tedious.

Nico: The bell saved me.

Female student B: ......

Bianchi: Oh, are you on your way home? Good bye~

Female student B: B- Bye.

Bianchi: Haah, my students have all been like that... The lesson ended on an awkward note, without us having the chance to open up to each other.

Jude: Your beauty must have made them feel a little nervous.

Bianchi: I hope it's just that...
It's difficult for me to connect with kids that age...
Even when I attended the Academy they just watched from a distance and never spoke to me.

Jude: Haha, didn't you have me, Bianchi?

Bianchi: You sticking to me was also one of the reasons I was shunned.
So? How did it go for you two?

Jude: I had no problems. I sparred with everyone as if it were a real fight.

Bianchi: Did you go over everything you did at the end?

Jude: That was the plan, but no one remained standing to the end.

Bianchi: Goodness... didn't I tell you to stop with the battle royale?

Jude: No one died. And they were too weak.

Bianchi: ... So, how did things go for you, sweetheart?

Nico: ......

Bianchi: I see, things didn't go well.

Nico: Giving them a free study period and letting them eat and drink didn't work.

Bianchi: Well, of course. They wanted to know more about you, dear.
All the kids here are like a Sage 2.0 when it comes to heroes.

Nico: ... Is that so?

Bianchi: This is not good. We can all agree that the mission did not go as planned, and it wasn't a learning experience for the students either.
We need to think over our options...

Nico: Should we ask Sage?

Bianchi: Sage?

Nico: Sage is good at teaching.
And he understands us well. He will surely have some good advice for us.

Jude: Right. Sage is the best solution for problems like this.

Bianchi: But should we really involve him in our mission?

Nico: Actually, I think he'll be happy.

Bianchi: I suppose you're right... Okay, let's talk to him ♪
