Chapter 1145: Back to Teaching
A few days after I revealed my identity, there’s still no move from the cult at all. But some people have made theirs.
My house has more visitors. Including some nobles from another city. For the noble here, they’re all already under my rule.
Well, not exactly. The nobles here are agents who already know that I’m the Aura user from the start.
It’s nobles from other cities that came here and asked me to work for them. What they didn’t know was Shirley was in my place. And I prepared to execute them when they tried to force me or anyone else to join their house. Shirley allowed me to kill them.
Now they won’t dare to come here again. It’s annoying that people like them still exist in Tatrama.
There are some who just came and introduced themselves to me. Trying to get to know me better. That is fine. They don’t seem to be bad people.
But it’s annoying. So I told the lord in charge of Cassau to receive those nobles. To prepare a banquet to introduce me to the world.
Well, it’s more like it is the Kings’ order. Not me. I just relayed it to the lord.
And the banquet will happen in a month. Many people will come. Including nobles from other country.
As for the Kings? They will come and let everyone knows that I won’t be joining under anyone’s rule. That is important.
The Kings will come late after watching everything first. They are always trying to find out if their people are thinking of creating their own force. And people who want me to join them are most likely like that.
Anyway, the problem with the nobles is over. I just need to attend the banquet in a month. But there are other problems caused by those who are not nobles. Mostly, it was hunters.
They came to my place and challenged me. And I defeated them. Why do they want to do that though? If they want to be called as the strongest, isn’t Angela supposed to be their target? Do they think that I’m just a weakling?
And obviously I won. Then I told them just go learn something in the university. Because all those who came were hunters who don’t attend university.
So they decided to fight the students there. Sara and Wendy even complained to me that they got a lot of work. But Dean was happy because more people are interested in going to the university.
Those hunters challenged the students there. And it was great. I watched them fight once.
The new students had hard times fighting those experienced hunters. They lost. Then the students who have been there for longer fight the hunters. And it just proves them all that I was right when I said that people should learn more in the university.
Sure, they can be a genius who can learn and get stronger on their own. But if they don’t have such talent, it’s best to go to the university.
Now there’s no one bothering me anymore. Though because many people are coming to the university, I was forced to go there. Well, it was a good idea. There’s something I’m going to tell Dean.
"Dean, let’s make another class. This time, it’s for summoners. It’s time to spread the knowledge about summoning magic," I said.
"...You will be the one teaching then. That means you will teach air element and summoning element both in the university," Dean said.
"Air element is not a problem. Sara can handle it. By the way, isn’t she the one doing everything? She’s already a master level air mage as well. She’s already better than me. So I don’t need to teach air magic anymore," I said.
"So it will be summoning magic. That’s fine," Dean said.
"Also, it’s not hard to teach anyone about summoning magic. I can get it done in just one day. Maybe we can just invite all students who are summoner to take my class once. I can teach it just once every year. It will not be hard," I said.
"Hmm... then you don’t even need to be the professor. And your audiences don’t have to just be students. You can invite everyone. Sure, you can do that. The university will just give you the venue. And we will get as many summoners out there to come. Not just students. But also hunters, or even ordinary people," Dean said.
"Hmm... for the lesson, I can teach it just once. But if they need my help in looking for a monster to make a contract with, it might take a while. So I also need to prepare for a few days to bring everyone to Monsters World. That place is more dangerous here so we will need some people to protect them. Well, it won’t be hard to find some," I said.
We have a lot of master level mages. If the cult doesn’t do anything for a while, we can send some soldiers to guard the summoners who want to find their familiar.
"Then we will take care of the preparation," Dean said.
Now I don’t have anything else to do. Other than teaching air magic. And now that I don’t have to hide my power, Sara designated me to be the living target for the shooting practice in class.
"Everyone. That is the main professor of our air element class. And he will be our living target today. Anyone who can wound him will get extra points," Sara said.
That is a cruel thing to ask to the one who taught her air element. Maybe she’s mad because I leave the classes to her.
Though they’re just bullets. I don’t have to try hard to protect myself.
"I won’t move unless the bullet is coming toward my unprotected vitals like my eyes or my crotch. For those purposely aiming for my crotch, you will receive an ass-kicking session from me," I said.
Even if I said that, everyone is still reluctant to shoot me. They’re fine shooting an enemy. But they’re not fine shooting me. I feel blessed to have good students. Though I only met them a few times.
"Then I will give you an example."
Sara then grabbed her rifle and aimed at me. Her stance is already stable. But she used earth magic to hold herself and her rifle still.
Not just that. There’s a rock coming from the ground that enters her rifle. They are quickly transformed into bullets in there by Sara’s magic. And she rapidly shoots her rifle at me.
I just spread my arms wide open and let the bullets hit me. I covered my body and my clothes with Aura so they can’t pierce me. I felt a stinging sensation but it’s not a problem.
"Just like that. He is our strongest force in the fight against the cult. So no need to hold back. And Professor Roy, you can walk around the area. It’s a practice using a moving target. It will be useless if you don’t move around," Sara said.
Oh, right. I’ll do that then.
It’s not just the students. Some are soldiers and some were even already graduated. They came here probably because they heard the news from Sara. And they are happily shooting at me.
If I want to, I can dodge all the bullets or parry them one by one. I might not be able to see the bullets well with how fast they are. But I can see where their guns are aimed at. I just need to predict how much air they used to shoot the bullet so I can estimate the speed and parry them one by one.
But this is a target practice. I won’t purposely stop the bullet unless they are aimed at my eyes or my crotch.
I stand in the field and let everyone shoots me. Sara is the only master level air mage here. So I don’t need to parry her bullet.
If she decided to compress as much air as possible in her rifle instead of shooting rapidly, the bullet she shoots will be enough to pierce my body. At least wound it a bit. But it’s good that she decided to only shoot rapidly.
Each has their own advantages. Rapid shooting is useful against multiple opponents. A single shoot is useful when there’s only one target or the targets are far from you.
Oh, I see something interesting. It’s a flaming bullet. Someone covered the bullet with fire and shoot it at me.
"Dude, why not just shoot your Fireball?" I asked.
"Fireball burns and explodes. But bullet pierced. Combining the two of them, I hope that it can pierce and explode inside the enemy," the guy said.
"I see. Try using it on a monster. I don’t think I will let you hurt me with that bullet. For today, it’s just training to increase your accuracy. Feel free to use whatever kind of magic bullet you have in mind. But I don’t think I want to get hurt by them," I said.
So I just do whatever I want in the field. Making a weird pose and act like their enemy. It’s surprisingly fun and relaxing. I should have come here to teach more.
