I leave a disappointed sigh because I am walking back the way I came back from the marketplace.

Horrell apparently has healing abilities which helped me with the injuries that the royal guards gave me.

“Thank you...” Horrell says to me but she seems to be...Kinda sad...

*Pat*

“Eh?” She is taken back as I give a pat on her back.

“It’s fine, if they come back, I will kick their ass.” I smile at her.

“Why?!” Horrell stops and I stop with her as well. “Why did you save me? I am cursed with this red-eye and people will hurt you for helping me out. I don’t want anyone to be hurt for me, even if they are my teacher...” Horrell clenches the bag she is holding.

She has been traumatized a lot huh? I guess...It will be fine.

“Not happening, if people do come to hurt you, I will be forced to use magic.” I look into her eyes with a determined look.

“But-“

“No buts! I have decided to protect you as I am your teacher and I shall do that until I am your teacher!” I state my commitment.

“You are such an idiot, Sir!” Horrell says as she sulks.

I chuckle looking at her funny face.

“Why are you laughing?!” It seems that Horrell is getting annoyed.

“Just cuz I feel like it.” I keep on chuckling.

“Idiot sir!”

AFTER WALKING WITH HORRELL AND THAT OLD,

We are here, more like I am back here...At The Academy of The Wise and Learning.

The old man looks at the girl and smirks, “Get to your class ASAP Horrell.” The old man orders.

Horrell nods and runs off.

“Tell me, what did you think?” The old man asks me.

“What do I think about what?” I ask with a confused tone.

It seems he wants to certainly speak about Horrell.

“About the girl, you saved her.” He asks me.

I look at him, giving him an annoyed look as I answer, “What if I did?”

“She’s a pretty lonely girl, she has no friends nor does anyone like her, I am sure you and your brother both have been through a similar phase. There are other students in your class pretty similar to her but she is quite different. Take care of her and also the students in your class.” This guy...

“You are worried about that girl a little too much, is there a reason for that?” I ask the old man. I have a feeling, I just have a feeling...That he might be somehow connected to that girl.

“I am always worried about the students of this academy. After all, they are all my students indirectly. Also, it’s almost time for your lectures. Come to my office after the class is done, I will give you your schedule.” The old man smiles and leaves.

I sigh as I look at the old man leave.

I guess I will give this a try...

I calmly make my way to the class. I don’t feel like going to the staff room as a teacher would normally go to. I am just scouting out my class for today, looking for what my students are capable of but the question that is bugging me is... “WHERE THE HELL IS CLASS 1-A?!!!”

Class 1-A, I find it after a long walk, this academy surely is quite big...I sigh from exhaustion and open the door to the Class.

As I open the door to the classroom, I see a bunch of students, I am not sure how many there are but I can say that the class limit is about 15 to 20 benches, and each a single bench has a single student. The Class is quite big as I see that there are 5 benches in every row and the column of these benches ascend via the stairs that leave the gap between these benches not to mention, the class is colored beautifully with the color Cyan and the windows having those blossoming curtains with the golden ceils.

The Class also is on the first floor, which means we can have the ground’s view from a floor higher. I am guessing that the ground down there is protected with a barrier to negect magic out of it. It is a way that students can improve their physical capabilities and also their magical capabilities.

In the middle of the class, I see a register on a table which is placed on a wooden block. I also see a chair there and the huge green board behind the chair and the table. I am guessing that it’s the teacher’s stand.

I walk inside the class and tap the wall behind me, what I did by tapping the wall behind me is spread my magic through the room so that I can hear what everyone is talking about. My mana spreads throughout the room, which then easily helps me listen to everyone speak.

I continue to walk towards my chair as I listen to random voices, the first voice says, “Is that our new teacher?” It’s a guy, seems to be a teenager with a nerdy typa voice. If I had to guess correctly, it’s the scrawny guy with the glasses. His mana doesn’t have that much of potential to grow but...I can see him being a royalty by the manner and confidence he has in his tone or I might just be dwelling a little too much of my thought into it. He is one of the people in the front row.

The second voice speaks, “But he seems so young and so handsome, surely he can’t be the one!” Seriously, that’s a girl...Definitely...She seems to be excited and has quite a sweet tone to her voice. If I had any guesses, the short girl with pink hair, she’s the one. She seems to be complimenting my looks. She seems to be sitting in the last rows.

Jeez, I wish that it wasn’t a teenager complimenting me...Like seriously...

I am listening to everyone gossiping about me in this very class and I have taken note of everyone’s voice and their looks but there is still a voice that was missing. The voice of that girl with the red right eye, Horrell.

I look at the corner near the window at the very right side, she seems to be sitting there quietly staring at the sky without knowing anything that is happening around her.

I sigh.

Jeez, just looking at her makes ME feel depressed.

*Click*

I snap both my thumb and middle finger together creating a sound, “Alright, class! I am your new teacher and I am glad to meet ya all!” I speak with a smile on my face.

My voice also grabs Horrell’s attention, well even if she didn’t pay attention to me, I had ways to make her pay attention and I know she will get back to looking at the sky and looking all depressed and shit so...I have a plan but first, now that I have every single student’s eyes glued on me. I guess I will introduce myself.

“The name is Dan ThunderField, I am 21 years old, I like to stick to my bed and watch some sexy babes on my phone and I am not afraid to admit that I am a total perv and have the hots for the beautiful ladies around me.” I smile.

Now...I wonder if that was a good introduction.

“So...We have a pervert as our new teacher huh?”

What’s with this disappointed mood? Did I say something wrong?

“Sir, we aren’t interested in what type of person you are but what type of magic are you going to teach us.”

I look at a petite girl who is standing and as she folds both her hands with an angry look on her face. She has pretty and long crimson hair which seems to be tied, she also wears the same uniform like Horrell but because of her petite body, the uniform is smaller in size. There is also a pair of white gloves she is wearing, those seem to be magic boosting gloves but the most important thing that I noticed about her is...She is wearing The Amulet of the King’s family.

The Amulet of the King’s family is only given to the blood-related people within the King’s family. It helps their magic grow exponentially. Yeah, she definitely is a relative of the King or maybe even his daughter...I am not sure myself yet but I will know with time, that is if I stay here as a teacher.

I calmly sigh and speak, “I intend to teach you the type of magic that will help each of you individual grow, that’s all I can say for now.” I say as I fold my hands.

“Sir, that’s a very vague explanation you gave us, right there. I will not accept you as a teacher until and unless I know what kind of magic I am learning.”

That girl is quite unpleasant, “What’s your name, girl?” I ask the girl.

“Wha-“ The girl is taken back by surprise when I asked her for her name. What’s with that expression? “Don’t you know that I am the one that they treat differently no matter what kind of situation I am in?! I am the one who decides what I want to wear, what I want my servants to wear, where my driver should drop me, whether I attend this academy or not, even what I want to learn and even who I want to fire. No teacher is allowed to teach me anything else but what I desire to learn! Do you understand?!”

“No, I don’t! I mean, I wear my clothes according to my own will, I am not that luxurious to have servants and drivers and it can be my choice to be a teacher or not and it’s my choice whether I want to teach you or not.” I smile at the petite girl as she is taken off guard by my behavior.

“Hey buddy...Don’t you know that she’s a big shot royalty...” A guy with black hair says. He’s sitting right in front of me so I can clearly see how he looks.

He has a string of hair falling on his forehead with a beauty spot near his chin. He wears a military-like navy colored shirt and long pants. Of course, that’s the boy’s dress code in this academy. He’s built is quite average and he seems to have a decent amount of mana. With a little training, he might be able to be one of the strongest within this class and I have the perfect typa magic tree to teach him.

Right now, his not the concern, I have to deal with this big shot royalty he is speaking of.

“Of course not, out of this academy you are some big shot royalty or something, no...” I shake my head, “You have the King’s amulet so you might are surely a big shot royalty but...Inside my class or inside the academy, you are all my students and I won’t treat anyone differently and when I say that I want every single individual to grow in their own department, I mean it. I am not only blabbering about it.” I say as I look in that little petite girl’s eyes and smile.

“My, my, things are getting interesting between the princess and our new teacher.” A girl with short and blonde curly hair speaks. She seems to be taller than usual girls but she also has quite a petite body. I can’t get a good look at her since she is sitting in one of the last rows.

The royalty standing up against me seems to be getting frustrated.

“That being the case, first lemme know ya name and what kinda magic you wanna specialize in.” I say as I look at the petite girl.

“I am The 2nd Princess of Fracia, Princess Kaileen Fracia and the magic I want to learn is from Tree of Ares!” The girl says quite royally touching her chest with her fingers.

I sigh, “The Tree of Ares huh?”

Magic is divided into trees and there are over 100 variety of trees of magic that one can go through and each tree of magic leads you to a magic that is suitable to your nature but...She said the tree of Ares.

The magic tree of Ares has no other magic spells but the spells that lead to war and death...The God Ares, was a warmonger, which is why the tree specializes in high attack magic and also consumes a great chunk of mana but the question still rises...

“Of course, the tree of Ares is one of the strongest magic in the whole universe and that is why, I believe to be the strongest, I have to learn the tree of Ares.”

“The strongest tree huh?” I look at the little princess and search for determination within her. I just couldn’t find any...

I point right in the middle of my forehead, “Here, hit me with your magic here and come at me with the intent to kill me.”

“WHA-“ Not only the girl but everyone in the class seems to be surprised.

“You have to be determined to kill anyone and everyone if you want to learn the Magic Tree of Ares, so, my question is...Can you kill me, right now, right here in front of everyone.” I speak as I leave myself open.

“This guy is total nuts...”

“Oi Princess, I think it would be better if you did not take any kinda risks to eliminate him now...We all know how badly you want Sir Tarand back but...This guy...I have a bad feeling about him.”

“FINE! If you say so, I will use my power and if it hurts don’t blame me!” The princess says as she holds her right hand in the front and catches it with her left hand.

“SHIT! She didn’t listen to me!”

I can say this much, she’s a right-handed since the dominant hand is always the one which leaks out the most mana.

“Show me the light to heavenly fire and scorch, bring forth the fire burning inside me and let it burn any and all enemies with its sharp blade!”

She is fuming with flames and the spell she is chanting makes fire blades, huh? That’s a good spell but...

“INFERNO’S BLADES!!!”

*Smash*

I take a heavy breathe as I look at the Princess who is panting pretty badly.

“You fail!” I say as all the blades miss me and hit the green board behind me.

The Princess sits back on her seat as she seems to be heavily sweating.

“You will no longer be learning the Tree of Ares.” I say to the little princess as I look at the green board.

“The Tree of Ares demands sacrifice, war, betrayal and it creates warmongers. Fun fact for you guys, Ares was a warmonger himself and that’s the very reason he is called the God of War and his attacks are all meant to kill but...I hate war, I hate sacrificing people and most importantly...I hate betrayers...” I speak in a harsh tone.

“Anyways, little princess, get ready, you will be learning from the Tree of Hermes.” I smile.

“Hermes? Wait, isn’t that the Tree which grants speed spells?!” The nerdy guy asks me.

“Bingo!” I say looking at that nerdy guy.

“But how would that help in a battle?” The nerdy guy asks.

“That I shall not discuss with any of my other students.” I smile as I walk up to the little princess.

*Pat*

I pat her head as she looks angry, “Meet me after the class ends, I will show ya something.” I say with a smile.

I walk back to my table.

“Alright, I will be taking everyone’s attendance now but before that...” I point at Horrell, “That girl is sitting in the front seat.” I smile pointing at her.

“Wha-Teach, are you crazy or something?!” There is that guy, seems like a punk to me but he didn’t rebel or anything. I mean looking at that spiky hairstyle anyone would feel like that.

“I am not. In fact, I want the cursed the girl to be sitting in front of me and see for myself whether she is cursed or not.” I say as I look at Horrell.
