Event Story – Study Diligently, Dear Students, ch.5

[kozvme]

Sage: So you bungled your classes... I see...

Bianchi: Sorry to bother you with our problems, darling.

Sage: No, I'm happy you asked... Besides, if you're having hard time, I'd like to help.

Jude: So, what are your thoughts on this? Let's hear it.

Sage: I haven't seen you at work, so I can't say for sure, but...
How about switching the classes you teach?

Bianchi: I don't follow? I thought we were a good fit for the job.

Sage: Ah, yes. In fact, I don't think that's the issue.
You chose your class based on how easy it was for you to teach it, right? I believe it would be more effective if you considered who you want to teach and what they need to learn, instead.

Nico: What...?

Sage: The first time I heard about it, I imagined Nico teaching about "Use of close combat methods", for example.

Nico: ... Me?

Sage: True, Jude-kun's close combat skills are mind-boggling, but isn't his unique style a reflection of his character?

Jude: But you can still emulate it. Make riskier choices, and that's it.

Bianchi: That's what he meant by "unique."
Ah. Just to be clear, that wasn't a compliment.

Jude: It still makes me happy, Bianchi.

Sage: Nico would make a great reference seeing as he's more about technique than talent.
It won't be easy to get to that level, but he can be the goal.

Nico: ... My technique isn't really that impressive.

Sage: No, your technique is great.
When we spar, I'm so amazed by your agility that I can only try hard to defend myself.

Bianchi: Now that you mention it, Jude isn't of any help in terms of size and judgment.

Nico: You do have a point...

Jude: Then Jude-kun could handle "hand-to-hand combat tactics"?

Bianchi: Really now?

Sage: Jude-kun can use many weapons, no? When we were a rookies, he fared well in shooting competitions.

Jude: Well yeah, I've learned the basics quite a while ago.

Bianchi: Hmm, is it really safe to let him hadle such dangerous things...

Sage: It'll be alright. I think Jude-kun pouring scorn on how they should be used will be helpful.

Bianchi: I guess you have a point.

Jude: Hey, just teaching is not fun at allー

Bianchi: Just do it, Jude.

Jude: Your wish is my command, Bianchi. I'll teach them step by step.

Sage: That leaves "Theoretical principles of using one's skills" to Bianchi-san.
You're just as incredible at using your skills as Nico, and you're also a fantastic support.

Jude: That's true, Bianchi's the best support you could ask for.

Sage: Since I learned defense from Teacher, I know for a fact how important it is to teach others how to support their teammates by using their abilities

Bianchi: You're right. Once accepted, you'll be expected to work as part of a team.

Sage: And you could also use your hallucinations to imitate various hero abilities?

Bianchi: You want me to induce hallucinations in the students?

Sage: They can't use abilities yet, so I'm certain they'll love it if you give them a taste.

Bianchi: Makes sense. That's a pretty good idea ♪
Well then, we'll swap up the classes we teach, as you suggested.

Jude: Fine by me.

Nico: ......

Sage: Nico...?

Nico: ... I'm fine with that, too.

Bianchi: We need to rethink our teaching plans.

Sage: If you don't mind, can I help?

Bianchi: Is that actually okay with you? You would be a huge help.

Sage: Of course it is ♪ I've wanted to learn how to teach as well.

Bianchi: If that's the case, we'll take you up on it.

Jude: I'll leave it to you.

Sage: Yeah, I've got you ♪

Nico: ......
