“Actually, when I tried to come here, there were many people who wished to accompany me, but I believe that most of them were likely more interested in making contact with me, the third princess, rather than seeking teachings from Teacher Geek.”
Well, that’s probably true. Even though I demonstrated some of my magical abilities and showed a bit of strength, not many students would want to study magic after school.
As for my title, I’m just a temporary teacher, and kids of this age usually prefer to play with friends after school. Of course, that’s not a bad thing. There’s a lot to learn from playing with friends.
“So, in my humble position, I took the liberty to check with those who wished to accompany us to see if they truly wanted to learn from Teacher Geek.”
“…Huh, what do you mean by that?”
“I asked those who wished to accompany us what they specifically wanted to learn from Teacher Geek in advance. However, no one could give a clear answer, so I asked everyone to refrain from joining us.”
“Well, I guess there was no need for you to go that far, Eliza…”
“No, if they didn’t genuinely want to learn magic, it would be disrespectful to Teacher Geek. We’re taking up Teacher Geek’s precious time, so it would be a waste for people with such intentions.”
“………”
They’re overestimating me too much. I didn’t know Eliza had such a serious personality.
“I also helped out as much as I could, Your Highness.”
No, Sophia, stop!
I feel sorry for the S-class students stuck between Eliza and Sophia. There’s no way they were fully prepared to follow Eliza with such resolve.
“…From now on, there’s no need for you two to go that far. If there are students who want to join, just bring them along first.”
“If Teacher Geek says so, we understand.”
“Understood.”
Since I already told them not to bring any followers, I can’t say too much.
I didn’t expect Eliza and Sophia to care so much about me.
Still, if they truly want to learn magic, they can come alone or consult me without the two of them around.
“Well, it’s almost time. Let’s call it a day for now.”
“Yes. Teacher Geek, it seems you have more knowledge than a specialized teacher when it comes to magic. Of course, I wasn’t doubting it, but I was quite surprised.”
“Well, just in terms of magic. And there are things I don’t know either.”
No matter how much knowledge I have, there are still things I don’t know.
Eliza, being the top of the year, asked some very high-level questions. Her movements during the defensive magic practical exercises were also at a much higher level than the other students. It seems like she’s seriously studying magic.
Sophia, on the other hand, seemed a bit weak in theoretical studies. However, during the defensive magic practical exercises, her magic formation speed was quite fast, and she was very skilled. She doesn’t seem to be good at theorizing but uses magic based on her instincts.
“For now, I won’t be able to attend every day because of other lessons, but I would like to come as often as possible. Well then, we will take our leave now. Everyone, please excuse us.”
“Excuse us.”
“Ah, be careful on your way back.”
Saying that, Eliza and Sophia bowed and left the classroom.
“…Teacher Geek, I demand an explanation for why Eliza-sama came here.”
A little after the two left, Cyril asked with narrowed eyes.
Well, it’s understandable that he’s curious. However, I can’t explain the recent kidnapping incident.
“It seems that the large-scale magic I demonstrated during the practical exercises left quite an impression. I guess I’ll show it to everyone in the next lesson.”
“…Just from seeing large-scale magic once, does that serious and honest Eliza-sama really become so obedient to Teacher Geek?”
“Obedient…?”
Now that I think about it, Eliza’s attitude during lessons was like that. She’s serious but a little stiff.
“W-well, she definitely seemed to trust you a lot, Teacher Geek! Even though she didn’t know how kind and reliable you are…”
That’s probably because, just like with Melia, I saved her from the kidnappers, so maybe she trusts me a little.
“Could it be that it’s hypnosis magic? Or some kind of love potion created with Teacher Geek’s skill…?”
“Whaaat!?”
“Are you an idiot?”
There’s no such thing as hypnosis magic right now. Unlike memory-reading magic, magic that alters a person’s personality is far beyond the capabilities of humans.
…Well, there are magic potions that can excite people, so if it’s a strong one of those, maybe it’s possible, but I’m not planning on making such a thing!
“Well, both of them seem to genuinely want to learn magic, and as classmates aiming for the same magical path, it would help if they get along slowly. Of course, if they start to use their status or say anything inappropriate, don’t hesitate to tell me.”
“Understood. If Teacher Geek says so, I’ll trust you!”
“I-I’m a little scared, but I’ll be fine!”
“…At least Eliza-sama doesn’t seem like the type to flaunt her status, so I understand.”
Yeah, it might be difficult at first, but I’d be happy if they could learn together and get along. I hope they’ll walk the path of magic together with me.
Well, as for me, I still have overtime work. Anon must be ready by now.
