Chapter 54: It’s a Pleasure (1/2)

Pondering what the director had said, I just sat there,off in the distance Like she'd mentioned, there was no real benefit for her to hire me as a professor, which is why I found it so suspicious It was so ingrained in me to be wary of other people's ure of authority and power, you naturally become suspicious of everyone around you, which hy I couldn't fathom why she'd asked me to do this

Practical Mana Manipulation was a class that didn't have any extra work to grade, which would make it even easier for me to just teach the class Even if it wasn't easier, it would help build a good position foras how I probably couldn't escape attention fros a bit differently Of course, I didn't plan on revealing my full set of skills to anyone just yet, but I didn't see the point in trying to be completely inconspicuous anymore, especially after today

"…Arthur?" I snapped out ofat me with a rather worried expression

"Ah, yes Although I'm not sure how competent I'd be in that kind of role, I'd like to trya professor" I looked over the docu my duties and responsibilities as a teacher

"I'm sure you'll do an excellent job," she s at her, I asked, "Were there any other classes that Professor Geist taught besides mine?"

"Fortunately, no We hired hi an adventurer For this semester, the other professors and I decided to only have him teach one class, as a sort of test run" She shook her head at the pitiful results he'd produced

"Before I sign, I have one last question," I stated as I read over the final paragraph of the docued

"Wouldn't it be counterintuitive that I' part of the disciplinary coood question The 'not hurting students' rule is for inside the classrooated for every case, as long as it is for the safety of other students, such as using a certain degree of force to quell a fight or suppress a ra your disciplinary coned the docus froave o eat lunch

CYNTHIA GOODSKY'S POV:

"Whehat is it about that boy that always keepsthan dealing with the royal faently landed on the ar what to say

"He is… different Do not view Arthur Leywin as a child Whether it is mental acuity or emotional maturity, there is much more to him than the eye can see" The clear words that came out of my bond didn't seem natural from the movement of his beak

"What makes you so certain?" I leaned back in my seat

"His bond That white fox's true foron…"

I bolted up from my seat "What?! How is that possible? How do you know?"

"It is because we are of the saons but Wyverns are still the dragons' descendents" Avier went back to groo that bond of his is more powerful than you?" I couldn't help but be utterly baffled by all of this

"No, that child has yet to o However, I suspect that when she does develop, th will not be even comparable to hers," he stated er than Avier The fact that he wasto me when I happened by hi and I didn't dare treat him like pet, but the fact that Arthur's bond was actually a dragon and that it seemed so subservient to him made me wonder what that boy really was

"Do not make him your enemy, Cynthia If treated with trust and respect, he will becoreatest ally, but if betrayed, he may be the cause of this continent's de, Avier flew off

I leaned forward intemples as I recalled what happened a couple hours back

"Director Goodsky, I request that you remove the boy named Arthur Leywin from my class!" One of my professors slammed the door open as he stormed inside

"Professor Geist, you look shaken up What's wrong?" I was taken by surprise by the sudden intrusion

"The boy has no respect for me, his professor! Please do not listen to any of the ru fraer

Two brisk knocks sounded from the door

"Please come in," I stated At least this person had the decency to knock

"I apologize for the intrusion, Director" The petite Kathyln gaveup next to the now pale-faced professor

"What's thea look at the both of them

"This sorry excuse for a professor needs to be fired," she said expressionlessly

Professor Geist grabbed Kathyln by the ar her close to him "How dare you! 'Sorry excuse'? Me?"

"You dare touch e, and she so down at Professor Geist

"Professor, I suggest you immediately remove your hand or else, whatever the case may be, it will not be in your favor" I stood up at this point Using force to get your point across was deplorable

He i "Ahe Please do not take to heart the rumors that youand that I' framed"

"I have not yet heard of any ru me, Kathyln?"

"This scuood about hi the fact that he utterly humiliated Feyrith, if Arthur didn't step in, I would've…" Without finishi+ng her last sentence, she glared at the professor

I turned to Professor Geist, as desperately denying this accusation "I' I simply wanted to demonstrate in front of the class the level the disciplinary committee is at; you know, for the other students to know"

"If that was simply what this was, then there would be no reason for you to come into my room and insist that Arthur be reh internally at the thought of handling this dilemma

I turned to my secretary, who had peeked in to see what the fuss was about "Tricia, please gather infor this incident"

My brunette-haired assistant bowed before running off

"Now, please be patient as this is sorted out I will do my best to be just about this" Before I was able to dismiss the two of them, Princess Kathyln walked up to me

"I trust that you will handle this fairly, but just know that, if it wasn't for Arthur, you wouldn't be handling this professor's ethic case but a student's injury case MY injury case I bid you good day, Director" She turned around, co Professor Geist, as taken aback by her last statement

_____________________________________________

Recalling the testimonies I received, it seemed like Arthur completely overwhelmed Professor Geist While this professor's personality never did sit ith h to teach a basic ht yellow core augmenter, and a quite capable one at that, he had been completely defeated by a twelve-year-old

I let out a sigh in regret that I didn't measure the level of the boy's core while he was just here

A twelve-year-old defeating a veteran adventurer using only his wind and earth attributewere his weakest, and who also had a bond with a dragon What more was there to him? If I asked, would he tell me?
