Chapter 369: Last Day of Teaching
It’s been a while since I teach, and now I’m back at campus. I should have class soon, but for now, my destination is Dean’s office. He’s already back to the campus right away after the closing ceremony.
“Dean, you’re busy?” I asked.
“Oh, Roy. What’s wrong?” Dean asked back.
“Do you know what happened in the capital right during the final? It’s been a while so the news should have been spread already,” I said.
“Oh, you mean that. The cult was going strong and attacked the capital right when his majesty was in Melk. There were some casualties including some nobles as well, but since his majesty returned faster than expected, the aftermath was quickly taken care of. Do you have something to do with it?” Dean asked.
“Yeah. I stopped them from destroying the capital any further, and I’m the one who brought Albert back to the capital,” I replied.
“Thank you for your hard work. So, what kind I do for you?” Dean asked.
.....
“I’m thinking of quitting and letting Sara be in charge of teaching air element from now on. Albert said that I need to get stronger than anyone and I agree. I have to leave for a while,” I said.
“I see... if Sara agrees with it, then I don’t mind. I also have learned few things from you, so if Sara can’t do it, I will be the one teaching when I’m free,” Dean said.
“Good. After the tournament, the news should have reached here that Sara’s air magic is powerful enough to bring us to the final. There will be more students attending it now.”
“By the way, where are you going? If it’s you, you should be able to go back from time to time easily, right?” Dean asked.
“I’m going to the Monsters World soon. I can get there and back easily with portal, but for Sonia to travel there on her own, it will take some time, so any messages she brought to me will be delayed. Oh, wait! If I asked Lina to open a portal for Sonia, it might not take any time at all... hmm... but I’ll still quit anyway,” I said.

“This will be my last class and I will introduce Sara to be their teacher from now on. They must be happy to be taught by someone more popular.”
“What about your medical class? Other doctors have been wanting to learn more,” Dean asked.
“I wrote some notes about the medical knowledge I know from the future. Including those I have taught them, and some that haven’t. But if you find any patient with the condition that I haven’t taught other doctors but there’s a note about them that I wrote, feel free to call Sonia to contact me. I will return immediately.”
After chatting for a little bit longer, it’s finally time for my class. I said farewell to Dean.
There are many other people I’d like to say my farewell, but for now, I need to teach my class first.
When I look at my class, the usually empty class is now filled to the brim with students I never met. Even more than that time after I return from my mission to rescue Harold. But this time, it’s different.
“Good morning, class. I have an announcement for you. Sara, please come to the front.”
Right after entering the class, I called Sara to come to the front. Everyone quieted down as they are admiring the woman who defeated the most fighters in the tournament. I think some of them were in Melk to watch the tournament as well. Not just hearing about Sara from hearsay. Which is good as well since they know what to expect when they come to the class.
“I am resigning from teaching, and the dean and I agree to let Sara be the one to teach you about air magic. She has learned most things about air magic from me, so I believe she can teach well. And she has agreed as well to do it. In case she’s unable to teach for some reason, the dean agreed to do it. Everyone, please applaud her.”
Huhu... I acted like a good professor here. How is it? I’m nice, right?
“Thank you everyone. I’m still a student just like you all, but I will surely teach you what I know. Though there are still some magic that I don’t understand, I hope I can teach you well,” Sara said.
“And since this is my last class, if you have any questions, I will try to answer them. Of course I will prioritize the four original students. Actually, it was one. And then the three joined. And now, you all joined.”
I don’t think all of them are air mage. I don’t remember most of them, but I think there are some freshmen who took my test to pass the entrance exam. I don’t remember their name though.
I see many students raised their hand and among them are from my previous student. As for Sara, she has returned back to her seat and didn’t raise her hand. I guess it’s to be expected since she can just ask me anytime she wants. Unlike the other students.
“Professor, how much can you compress air?” it was from one of my previous students.
“It depends on how much mana you have and your level. Once I became intermediate level, my shot became more powerful. Though I usually didn’t compress to much air because of the recoil. Sara will teach you more during her lesson about that. Alright, next.”
“What else is air magic is useful for?” It was from another one of my previous students.
“For me, I’m also a surgeon. Using air magic, I can create a certain type of gas that will make anyone who inhale it fall into a deep sleep and won’t feel any pain during the operation. Next.”
I keep answering questions patiently one by one. Well, I’m quite irritated from some stupid questions. But as a professor, and since this is my last day, I keep answering the questions.
“How much did you get paid for teaching?”
“I didn’t really care since I’m already rich even without taking this job. It’s something I was told to do to spread the usefulness of air magic.”
“How rich are you?”
“Why ask? You want to be my boyfriend? Sorry, but I don’t swing that way.”
“What’s the use of a surgery if we have healer?”
“What if we don’t have a healer?” I said.
Sometimes, I also answered the question with another question. This will also help the students to imagine what would happen and think about it themselves.
“Where can I buy your jacket?”
“It’s from my own store in business district. It’s located at...”
“What’s your relationship with Kayla and Angela?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter someone asked me this question, everyone is looking at me seriously. They want my serious answer.
“We were both from Melk and joined a party together. Although Angela is now in the capital, we are still in the same clan. And I’m also the leader of the clan. Sara over there is our latest member. Angela is my friend, and Kayla is my lover. Though there are more of my lovers in the clan, it’s not a clan for me to build my harem. In fact, the referee from the tournament, Kron, is also a member as well. But he’s still single,” I said.
Then, someone quickly raised his hand and without waiting for me to pick him, he asked a question.
“How do I join the clan?” he asked.
“We don’t accept applicants. And the people who can join are mostly those who are close to us. Don’t expect to join our clan, alright?”
What I mean close means they must be close enough to know that I’m from the future. Which mean none of them will join my clan. Unless I know that I can trust them and I told them myself about everything.
“What can I do to get stronger?”
“Train more.”
“What if I still can’t get stronger after training?”
“That mean you’re doing it wrong. You need to learn what method you’re suited with, and learn how you will fight. Will you try to overwhelm your enemy with your magic? Or will you attack them from far while keep running? There are more ways to get stronger than just cultivating. Like learning a way to use magic. Air Shot that Sara used is one of them. And don’t forget to train your body as well. It will be useless if you have a lot of mana, but couldn’t chase the enemy and letting them escape.
I keep answering the questions even though the time for class is over. And there are even more people entering the class and asked me questions as well. Even Kayla and Jewel are here watching me with interest.
Finally, there are no other people raising their hand. I guess it’s over.
“Since no one else has questions, I’ll take my leave. See you if I have the time.”
I left the classroom together with Kayla and Jewel who waited for me. They say that they heard about me answering questions, so after they finished their classes, they quickly come to my classroom and wait so we can go home together.
This might be the last time I’m in the campus, so they decided to explore the campus before going home.
Why do I need to explore it if I can see everything?
