Chapter 931 - The Outstanding Contribution AwardChapter 931 The Outstanding Contribution Award
Mag could feel their eyes on him, and that made him feel a little nervous.
Amy would study with the children here starting next year, so he had to watch his behavior in order not to evoke dislike. “Is it okay if we walk in?” he asked Luna in a low voice.
“Yes. Sit beside Amy. We still have to wait for other parents to come, though.” She saw the box on Mag’s back, but said nothing.
Mag nodded and smiled in greeting as he walked past other parents. He knew how to behave in a courteous manner because he did that every day.
They looked surprised for a moment, and then smiled back.
Amy was the disciple of two 10th-tier magic casters, and she had defended the honor of Chaos School against the challengers from the Roth Empire all by herself. These parents would try to get on Mag’s good side for their children’s sake, if not for their own.
“Hello, father and… mother of Amy,” Daphne said. She recognized Sally, for she had eaten in Mamy Restaurant before, but by the look if it, Amy must have told her about her “new” mother.
“Hello, parents of Amy,” greeted Ignatsu, who was sitting behind Amy with a blade of grass on his head.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMag smiled at them. “Hi.” Then he greeted Daphne’s and Ignatsu’s parents.ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ (f)ir(e).nᴇt
Mag had never seen them before, but since Amy and their children were friends, he quickly become acquainted with them.
Drue, Daphne’s father, was a mercenary, like her grandfather, Guy. He was a good-natured 2nd-tier knight.
Ignatsu’s father’s name was Shaza. He was a demon and a magic caster. He worked for the city lord’s castle, researching botanical magic. Mag could tell from his dishevelled hair and clothes that he had just gotten out of his lab.
“Nice to meet you, Mag,” said Shaza. “I’d really like to show you a new battle magic spell I have just created, but this place is a little too crowded.” Apparently he was a mad scientist of some sort.
Shaza’s wife, Bonnie, shot him a glare that shut him up immediately. “Thank you, Mag and Sally, for inviting Ignatsu to your party,” she said with a smile.
“Ignatsu and Daphne are Amy’s friends, I like to have them over.”
The three pairs of parents chatted away save for Sally, who seemed a little ill at ease.
Never thought I’d sit in a classroom talking about kids with other parents, Mag thought to himself. Before he knew it, his nervousness had faded away.
However, the same thing couldn’t be said for Sally.
“Is it painful for elves to give birth, Aisha?” Bonnie asked out of curiosity. “I was in so much pain that I thought I was gonna die!”
“I…” How would she know? She had never given birth before! Sally suddenly found herself wishing to be anywhere but here.
Mag would have helped her out, but he had no business butting in a girl talk. Besides, he knew nothing about pregnancy or childbirth.
That was when Luna stepped up to the podium and told everybody to settle down. She saved Sally unwittingly.
The classroom fell silent. The parents sat straight as if they had become students again.
“Thank you all for coming here today. I’m Luna, homeroom teacher of this class.”
Mag found parent-teacher meetings here were more or less the same as those in his past life. Luna told the parents every student’s performance and progress. She praised most and mildly reproached some for their mischievous behavior.
Then she started handing out prizes to students who had achieved high scores on the test or made great progress. The certificates and small but elaborate prizes put a big smile on the faces of kids and their parents alike.

Amy had nothing to do with any of this, so she just applauded.
“I wish I could get a certificate too.” Amy rested her chin on Mag’s hands—which he had placed on the table—and looked enviously at the kids holding their prizes.
“You will when you start studying under Teacher Luna,” Mag said with a smile, stroking her head.
Daphne had gotten three certificates and three notebooks. Her grades were in the top three of the class. Happiness was written all over her parents’ faces.
Parmer had gotten two certificates. Gjerj was all smiles as he held them.
Ignatsu looked worried as he had gotten nothing. Shaza looked like he couldn’t care less, but Bonnie’s face darkened.
Ignatsu raised his eyes slowly, and then hurriedly lowered his head again when he saw his mother was glowering at him. “Amy got nothing, either,” he said in a barely audible voice.
“The last award is the Outstanding Contribution Award,” Luna said, holding a certificate much larger than the ones she had handed out. “We only have one winner this year, and she is in our class.”
“The Outstanding Contribution Award?!”
“It’s a yearly award that students and faculty alike can win. Why is it given to a student in the primary section?”
Everyone in the room looked incredulous.
