Chapter 1002: Invited by the Suspicious Teacher
Today we’re observing regular classes. We watched how the teachers gave their lectures inside the class together with the students.
The students didn’t know who we are. They just thought that we’re important people there to watch the teacher gives lectures.
I saw some students being diligent in their studies. I even read some of them writing notes about how to use magic better. They haven’t been taught magic control, but it won’t be surprising if someone among them will be the one to discover it in the first place in my previous life.
And I even saw a kid using air magic during class. He tried to use it to breathe. But he’s still using his nose to exhale.
Using air magic to breathe is simple. You get the air fill your lung. And when your body does its job, the air the air will inside your lung will change its properties. And instead of exhaling, you used air magic to change the air inside your lung so you don’t need to exhale.
Weird? Of course. It’s magic after all. And I know about it better since I’m also a doctor. But it’s still weird even though I’m a doctor.
The kid I watched still exhaled from his nose. He’s still not used yet in using air magic to breathe. When he’s used to it, he doesn’t need to exhale.
Once the teacher finished his lecture, before the Vice Principal tried to say something to me, I approached the air mage student.
"Hey, kid. Try to do it again but block your nose and mouth. There’s no need for you to exhale. Your air magic can be used to change the property of the air inside your body so you don’t have to exhale at all when using magic," I said to the student.
He then tried to do it again with everyone watching him do it. But he still needs to exhale. So I used my hands to pinch his nose and block his mouth from opening. Now it looks like I’m torturing him since he was panicked and unable to breathe. His face is all red.
When a teacher about to stop me, Wendy stopped the teacher and told him to let me do what I want.
The kid tried to resist by grabbing my hand. But he’s too weak.
"Use air magic. People looked down on us air mage because they don’t know how amazing we are. If you breathe the way I told you, it will help you a lot in the future. It will also help to improve your physical strength. So even if you’re a beginner level mage, you should still be able to face someone at intermediate level in physical battle. This is the advantage that we air mages have. And if you have other elements, you can even improve them and become even stronger," I said.
The kid stopped resisting. And while his face is completely red, he started to calm down and attempted to use his air magic.
Finally, he started to be able to breathe using air magic without the need to exhale. And his face is no longer red even when I still pinched his nose. Though I released my hands soon after.
"Good. Keep doing it as much as possible," I said.
Then I walked to in front of the class to give an announcement.
"All of you must be wondering who we are. We’re professors doing our job to help future mages like you to get stronger. And our destination right now is this school. If you’re an air element mage, you can ask me for consultation. If not, then during breaks and your free time, try to impress Ms. Wendy over there. If you’re good, then she might tutor you personally," I said.
That is what our official reason to be here after all. Though we have joined several classes, I only said it now because there’s an air mage in this class.
I didn’t see any other air mage in other class. Maybe they didn’t even bother to try using air magic in class, so I was not aware of them at all. Though since I have taught a bit to this air mage in this class, if the others wanted some guidance when I’m no longer here, they can ask this kid.
And so, my schedule for today is decided. To teach this kid and other air mages a bit about air element. I won’t teach them everything. I won’t be here for long after all.
Also, it will be suspicious if I just return back to the inn without doing anything. So it’s best to improve the strength of future mages when I’m free.
"Tell the other students who awakened air element to meet up in the field after school. I’ll teach you more about air magic," I said to the air mage kid.
He looked so happy that I invited him even though I just made him almost stopped breathing. I’m just that awesome that he forgot about all of that.
Then during break, the rumors spread so fast that many kids started practicing on the field even though previously, it was almost empty.
"Well, this is great. Now I just need to watch them practicing in the field. Roy, there’s still time until we joined the next class. You’re free until the next class started," Wendy said.
It’s around lunch break. And it’s also the longest break. Since she wanted to see the students practicing, she told me to get some break by myself. Though that would be impossible.
"Not possible since that suspicious teacher is watching me now. He must be thinking that I’m the Aura user they’re looking for and is probably going to meet me soon," I said.
"I see. Should I go with you?" Wendy asked.
"No need. He won’t be able to do anything to me after all," I replied.
"That’s exactly what I’m worried about. You might end up killing him before we gained something from him," she said.
"Fine, I won’t kill," I said.
"Then there’s no need for me to go with you. I’ll stay and see if there’s any student with great potential," Wendy said.
Then I left her as I walked out of the school about to look for a restaurant to eat. And the Sus-Teacher also made his move and tried to get to where I was. Pretending that he bumped into me.
The news that I used air magic must have been spread. That’s why he was suspicious.
The good news is that I still have the Blobbies painted in blue. So if he ever tried to ask me what my familiar is, I can just summon the blue Blobbies.
"Professor Roy! Please wait!"
As expected, he’s looking for me.
"Can I help you?" I asked.
"If you don’t mind, how about I treat you for a meal, Professor? I know a good restaurant," he said.
"Sure. Let’s go," I said.
Treating me for lunch? How many portions should I eat?
’Not too many, Roy. If you eat too much, he will be suspicious of you since no normal mage eat as much as you do. Even if they do, they get fat. Unlike you. So he will think that you move around a lot and will assume that you’re the Aura user,’ Victoria reminded me.
Does it mean that I have to eat what’s worth of just one person’s meal? What a pain. I hate to eat less when I can eat more.
We then ate together. And most of the things he asked me were about education. I answered as well as possible. Though I’m not that good since I skipped classes way too many times. I’m the Professor though.
"Oh, Professor Roy, can I ask you another thing? The rumor said that you will only teach kids with air magic. What about your other elements?" he asked.
"My air element is better than other elements. I only have summoning element and can only summon a slime. So it really can’t help me get stronger by much. That’s why I focused more on air magic," I said.
"A slime? Can you show me?" he asked.
Since it’s just a small slime, I don’t think it will cause any ruckus in this restaurant.
I tried to summon the blue Blobbies, but Victoria stopped me.
’Roy, he knew your name! If the cult made their investigation and found out that you went to school together with Angela and Kayla, he will be suspicious if you summoned a blue slime. Just summon me normally,’ Victoria said.
Oh, she’s right. And so I did as she said and summoned her.
"See? This is just annoying since I can’t get more familiars. Being a summoner suck," I said.
"But you still did so well in your air magic. That’s amazing," he said.
After that, we finished our meal. Though I was still not satisfied, I also left the restaurant.
"Professor Roy, there’s something I want to show you. Will you follow me for a bit? It’s just right outside the city," he said.
He’s taking me to outside of the city? Suspicious. But let’s pretend that I take the bait.
"I was told that the next class to join is yours. Then I guess it’s fine to be a bit late. Let’s go," I said.
Now, what will he do? And how should I react to his plan? For now, let’s observe the situation.
