「Ugh... What happened...」Julius

Julius held his forehead with his right arm as he regained consciousness, his whole body was still aching from the Goblin King's strike.

Speaking of the Goblin King, I already cancelled its summoning, thus it has turned back to mana and vanished into thin air. It had a short life. Well, it's not considered a living thing so not really.

「It seems like all of you have woken up.」Grey

「Wait... who are you again...?」Julius

「Julius-sama, he's our new instructor, Grey-sensei.」Amelia

Julius tried to recall who I was, but it was to no avail. Thankfully, the kind girl with the 『Detection』 ability helped him out. She was called Amelia.

Somehow, being called "sensei" felt really good... It's much much better if compared to being addressed "sama" or other whatnots.

「Ah, right... Wait! Then that means...」Julius

「Yes... We lost...」Amelia

「I see...」Julius

Although Julius responded calmly, his frustration was still showing as clear as day. It must have been the first time he lost to someone his age.

「Since you've all lost the match, just like what we agreed to, I'm going to become the new instructor of your class, and you'll have to follow my instructions obediently. No one's against this, right?」Grey

Answering my question, all the students nodded silently. It went more smoothly than how I thought it would have been. Their defeat must have played a big role in it.

「Looks like everything here is fine. I'll be going back to my office now.」Arnelius

「Ah, yes. Thank you for the help, headmaster.」Grey

「It was my pleasure, Grey-sama. Well then, I shall get going. I still have paperworks waiting to be finished.」Arnelius

The headmaster ended his words with a dry smile and headed back to his office where a moutainload of paperworks are waiting to welcome him back.

「Alright. Now that I'm your instructor, we'll be doing things differently. Rather than lessons, we'll be having practical training everyday until my contract is finished. Does anyone have a question?」Grey

「Umm... Sensei, what do you mean by practical training...?」Amelia

「You'll be fighting summoned creatures day after day, of course.」Grey

When I said those words, all the students' jaws dropped to the ground. They were extremely shocked.

「Wait, sensei, does that mean we're going to fight a Goblin King, everyday?!」

「Sensei, we're going to die from that!」

「Sensei, please have mercy on us!」

A non-stop barrage of complaints were directed to me from all directions, with the students' faces half scared and half begging. Some even have tears forming at the corner of their eyes.

Ahh... It feels like I'm a parent trying to calm my children down. Except in this case, I have ten of them and that they're all nobility.

Really, what a troublesome job... I wonder how Yuna is doing on her side. I hope she isn't being too hard on her students...

【【Yuna's Perspective】】

Ever since I fired a high-level spell on the training grounds, the students have become a lot more quiet and obedient, especially that arrogant blonde guy.

Now all I have to do is plan on how to train the class. Although I want to have a match with each of them, they wouldn't stand a chance. It might be harsh but it's the truth.

If it was Grey, he'd probably use a summoned creature to train his class. I could also use summoning magic. Should I also do that...?

Ahh... But I really want to fight them...... Ugh... What to do...

I was racking my brain for answers but nothing came to mind. I also looked at the files the headmaster gave me but it just doesn't fit my style. In the end, I settled with the way we taught Liz-chan how to fight.

Oh, right. I need to know how strong they are before anything else. It would be a disaster if they get hurt because their opponent is too strong after all.

Although I could determine what threat level they are with my 『Detection』, I still can't accurately tell their combat power. I need to have some help with this one.

「Umm... Who here is the class representative?」Yuna

「T-That would be me, sensei.」???

Answering my question, a beautiful girl sitting right next to Elise-san raised her right hand shyly. She was one one the second year's strongest, Elaine Geldoria.

Although it was stated in the files that she was Gustav-san's daughter, they look nothing alike. She must have inherited her mother's looks. Her attitude also isn't like Gustav-san's at all. She was very shy.

「Umm... Elaine-san, please come here for a second.」Yuna

「Y-Yes!」Elaine

Following my request, Elaine-san approached my desk where she nervously waited for what I was about to say.

「Right now, what monsters can you stand on equal grounds with?」Yuna

「I-If it's me, Landevar-sama, and Beldon-sama, we could stand against an ogre each. As for the rest if the class, we can at least fight equally against an orc.」Elaine

An orc... Then that means Liz-chan is already on their level. No, maybe Liz-chan is now stronger than them.

「Alright!」Yuna

After making my mind up, I formed a fist and clapped it on top on my palm, making Elaine-san jolt in surprise.

【【Elise's Perspective】】

Today, something unexpected had just happened, so we got a new instructor. Although getting a new instructor isn't something to be surprised about, having one your age is. On top of that, it was Yuna-san, someone I just met yesterday.

Apparently, she had once body guarded my little sister, Liz. From that, I understood that she was quite powerful, but never in my wildest imagination did I imagine her becoming our new temporary instructor.

At first, I was baffled why the headmaster introduced her as such, but when she froze the training field without much effort, I immediately cleared my doubts.

Although I was scared at first, I immediately calmed down when I saw Yuna-sensei smiling naturally. I was reminded of how friendly and kind she was yesterday.

Currently, I am heading to the training grounds with my classmates and Yuna-sensei. And for what reason? No one other than Yuna-sensei knew.

「Alright, this should be good.」Yuna

「Umm... Yuna-sensei, what are we doing here...?」Elaine

「Training!」Yuna

When Yuna-sensei said those words, every one of my classmates suddenly jolted. Somehow, we felt something bad was gonna happen.

「W... What kind of training...?」Elaine

Elaine asked nervously and Yuna-sensei beamed a bright smile to us as a response. Moments later, screams of fear, pain, and confusion filled the training grounds. It was the very definition of pandemonium.

While such a scene was going on, Yuna-sensei was just sitting on a nearby shade, cheering for us happily with a bright smile on her face.

As for me...

「Kyaa～!! Help meee～!!」Elise

... I don't wanna talk about it...

【【Grey's Perspective】】

A few hours has passed since I crushed my class with a Goblin King, and lunch time has finally arrived. Which also means that I'll be having lunch in the Royal Academy's cafeteria.

Ahh... How nostalgic... How long has it been since I had lunch in a school's cafeteria, I wonder?...

But as much as I want to enjoy the nostalgic atmosphere, I also want to ask why the prince and Amelia-san are tailing me?!

「Umm... Your highness, Amelia-san, may I ask for the reason as to why you're following me around?」Grey

「We just want to have lunch with you, no other reason.」Julius

「Ah, I see...」Grey

What kind of answer was that?! That was so vague!

Is what I wanted to say, but there's no way I can say it to a prince and a noble's daughter. Even though it's a fact that my rank is higher than theirs.

Haah... Whatever, it's just lunch. There's no need to be worked up about itー Ah!

Just right after I gave up on the topic, I saw Yuna and Elise at the corner of my eyes, lining up at the counter to buy their lunch.

「Oh, Grey!」Yuna

And not being able to bypass her 『Detection』, Yuna noticed my approach and waved her hand energetically towards me. Elise also did the same.

「New friends of yours?」Yuna

「Well, sort of. They're my students. This is His Highness, Julius, and Amelia-san. Your Highness, Amelia-san, this is Yuna, my partner.」Grey

「My name is Yuna, it's a pleasure to meet you.」Yuna

「I am Julius Helvor Alfrione, the pleasure is mine.」Julius

「And I'm Amelia Redlocke, it's also a pleasure.」Amelia

After introducing themselves, they quickly became acquainted with each other. The ones with Yuna also bowed their heads in order to greet the prince.

「Oh, right, Grey. This is Elaine-san, Gustav-san's daughter.」Yuna

「It's a pleasure to meet you.」Elaine

「Ah, yes. It's a pleasure too.」Grey

「Agh... All these introductions are making me dizzy. How about we get lunch first?」Julius

Following the prince's suggestion, all of us lined up at the counter and bought ourselves some lunch. We then found ourselves a table and sat there together.

「Wow～ Grey-sensei, Yuna-san, can you really finish all of that?」Amelia

Amelia-san asked after seeing how much food we've bought from the counter. It wasn't really that much, but it wasn't the normal amount either. It made us stand out a little.

Speaking of standing out, we became the center of attention again, especially with a prince and three more beautiful ladies accompanying us. But unlike us, the prince wasn't bothered by it, rather, he seemed to use that kind of attention.

「Don't worry about us, we can finish this without a problem!」Yuna

「I... I see...」Amelia

Although Amelia-san said that, she still looked concerned about us. Well, it's probably hard to believe, especially with how slim Yuna looks. Her figure was contradictory to how much she eats.

「Oh, by the way, Yuna-san. I haven't seen you here, and assuming that you're Grey-sensei's partner, are you perhaps the new instructor for the Alpha class of year 2?」Julius

「Ah, yes. It's my first day today.」Yuna

Yuna answered calmly as she started digging in on her food. She was really amazing to be so relaxed in front of a prince. The prince on the other hand seemed to be having a headache.

「Ugh... Just what the heck is happening... Just why are we having new instructors our age...」Julius

Don't ask us about that. Ask your father, your older brother, and Vanessa-neesan about that. They were the ones who planned this after all.

「Oh, right. Elise, how did your class go? Yuna wasn't being too harsh on you, was she?」Grey

When I asked that question, Elise and Elaine's faces turned pale and their eyes were drained of color. Elaine was even trembling just remembering whatever it was that had happened.

Yuna, just what the heck did you do to them?

I asked Yuna with my eyes and when we locked eyes, she immediately shifted them to another direction, all while chewing calmly on her food. She looked really guilty.

Haah… Seriously, this girl...

「On behalf of Yuna, I apologize if she ever did something unreasonable.」Grey

「Ah, it's alright. She just made all of us fight orcs and ogres, that's all...」Elise

「Yeah, we weren't screaming all the time at all...」Elaine

「Ah, I... I see...」Grey

They said they were alright but their eyes and faces told me otherwise. It was clearly an unfortunate experience for them. I'm sure they won't be able to forget it.

But well, I can't really scold her since I also did the same thing to my class. I can practically see all of them having nightmares about the Goblin King.

I just hope Yuna wasn't doing it only for fun, or else she will literally become a younger version of Vanessa-neesan. I'm getting goosebumps just from imagining it.

I should probably give them something as a token of apology. And since we're having lunch, I think pudding would fit the bill.

「Grey, what are you retrieving?」Yuna

Seeing me open up my 『Storage』, Yuna asked me with eyes full of expectations. The others also became curious about it and looked at me the same way Yuna was.

「It's pudding.」Grey

I said as I retrieved 5 cups of pudding from the storage. They were still cold since time doesn't run on my 『Storage』. It was a really helpful ability.

After retrieving the pudding, I then gave everyone a cup of it which they examined with eyes full of curiosity. Well everyone, all except for Yuna. I wanted to tease her a little bit.

「What is this?」Julius

「It's a dessert called "pudding". Consider it as a token of apology for what Yuna and I did earlier this morning.」Grey

「Ah, I see...」Julius

Seeing me feed a spoonful of pudding to myself, the others followed suit and filled a spoonful of pudding to themselves, and their reactions were...

「Woah! So delicious!」Julius

「It's so sweet!」Elise

「It melts in my mouth～」Amelia

「So soft～」Elaine

I was really happy that they enjoyed it, but as I was enjoying such a scenery, someone gently tugged on my clothes. That someone was Yuna.

「Where's my share?」Yuna

「There's none. It's punishment for not being honest earlier.」Grey

「Ehhhhh?!」Yuna

When Yuna heard my reasoning, she was immediately taken aback and tears started to form on the corner of her eyes. She was crestfallen and was pouting.

Cute......

Although I knew full well it was meant to tease her, I just can't help myself from doing so. But I have to stop myself since we're in public.

I wonder, when did I develop such a hobby of teasing Yuna...

「I'm just kidding.」Grey

I said with a smile as I placed a cold cup of pudding on top of the crestfallen Yuna's head, making her mood improve drastically.

When I took my eyes off Yuna, I was greeted by everyone else's stares. Their stares were really uncomfortable. One person in particular has a very hurtful stare. It was the prince. I could practically read what he was thinking.

"Normies"

「Umm... Why don't we continue with our lunch?」Grey

As if they saw nothing, everyone shifted their attention back to their food and carried on with their lunch.

Ahh... I should probably consider the place before I tease Yuna again...

No, not just probably, I really should.
