Episode 67. Lessons with Pension (2)
“Did you hear the story? Mr. Hassen Little, I heard you quit?”
“Huh? Suddenly? Then what about Professor Hasen’s class?”
The students of the Faculty of Magic were in an uproar.
The potions class taught by Hasen Little was one of the more basic classes in the Faculty of Magic.
Although it was not a required major, it was one of the skills that all wizards had to learn, just like a required major, so the quota was constantly filled.
Of course, there were students who dropped out because it wasn’t fun or was too difficult, but it was quickly replaced by other students.
One of the reasons was that the dedicated teacher, Hassen Little, was quite capable.
Hassen Little, as befitting a pensioner and teacher, had a wealth of knowledge about many herbs and was skilled enough to answer students’ questions without hesitation.
Moreover, because the explanation was so good, I was able to understand the difficult potion making class with some ease.
When Professor Hasen submitted his resignation, the students of the Faculty of Magic couldn’t help but be uproarious.
“I applied because it was Mr. Hasen, but you quit. Why on earth did you submit your resignation? Are you sick?”
“Whoa, then who will be teaching this class? Since there aren’t any teachers that I expected, I don’t think they’ll be assigning it to a new teacher, right?”
“Huh! Seriously, it’s not Mr. Graham, is it? If it’s Mr. Graham, I’d drop this right now.”
“Because you explain it so difficultly. You think we’re all geniuses.”
Everyone was gossiping about who would be the teacher for this class.
Especially if possible, we all hoped it wasn’t Mr. Graham.
“quiet!”
Knock knock!
At that moment, the door opened and the Dean of the Faculty of Magic came in. The fifty students in the classroom looked toward the entrance.
As the Dean of the Magic Department entered with his characteristic gait, the students looked in despair for a moment, thinking that the Dean would be in charge of this class. However, there was another person who entered after that.
“uh?”
“what?”
“What!?”
Everyone was embarrassed when they saw that face.
“Isn’t that Mr. Ethan?”
“Why a teacher from the College of Engineering?”
“What the heck?”
“Surely Mr. Ethan isn’t going to be teaching this class?”
The students looked puzzled.
“Everyone be quiet!”
As the Dean of the Faculty of Magic stood at the podium, Ethan stood next to him.
“Professor Hasen has resigned and retired. The reason is personal. Therefore, from today, the potion making class will be taught by Mr. Ethan Wickers.”
“yes!?”
“Dean! What do you mean!?”
“Mr. Ethan is a teacher in the Knights College!”
“You’re the inspector! Mr. Ethan!”
As soon as the Dean of the Faculty of Magic opened his mouth, a strong backlash erupted.
“That joke is too much!”
Among them, the second-year students in the Department of Magic were the most resistant.
“A teacher who isn’t a wizard is going to teach this class? Then we don’t want to take this class.”
“me too.”
“Us too!”
The Dean of the Faculty of Magic sighed as if he had expected this to happen. Even though they are students, they are also magicians.
We cannot tolerate any behavior that makes fun of magic.
Even the Dean of the Magic Department had the same reaction when Ethan first came to teach this class.
If the principal hadn’t been there, I might have sworn at him right then and there.
“Okay! If you don’t want to listen to the class, you don’t have to. But you should still listen to how Mr. Ethan will conduct the class. And I’m a wizard, too. I’ve been studying magic much longer than you. So I know what you’re worried about.”
The students who were about to leave stopped for a moment at the dean’s serious words.
“That’s why I brought Mr. Ethan here myself. Just remember that one thing and attend Mr. Ethan’s first class.”
Then Ethan nodded to the dean.
As the Dean stepped back slightly, Ethan stood in front of the podium and looked around at the students.
“First of all, let me say that I did not take this class to make fun of magic.”
Even though I said that, the students’ expressions were not good.
The fact that you are a teacher at the College of Magic while also teaching at the College of Magic is a sign that you look down on magic.
Even if you say it’s not true, it doesn’t make sense.
As Ethan began to speak, the Dean of Faculty walked out of the classroom.
Now that his part is done, it’s up to Ethan to convince the students and keep them from leaving.
The students gave Ethan cold looks as he was left alone.
When there was a dean, I had to be mindful of the dean’s mood to some extent, but now I don’t have to do that.
“Then why did you take this class? You are a professor in the Department of Journalism.”
“Is it because there’s a story that the principal is pushing Mr. Ethan?”
Uncomfortable and impolite questions were asked.
“What can we learn from you, teacher?”
“We don’t want to take swordsmanship lessons, Mr. Ethan Wickers.”
Moreover, like the swordsmanship department, there were upper-class students here as well.
“The swordsmanship department may be easy enough for even a teacher from the countryside to wield, but our magic department is different.”
If the upper-class student who dominated the swordsmanship department was Mason Yellow, then in the magic department there was Grandel Toph.
The current Marquis of Toph was a renowned archmage.
Among the battle wizards, he was the one called the Great Wizard of Red Lotus.
‘There are quite a few familiar faces here.’
Certainly, there were more people who knew about the magic department than the knight department.
Having worked with the Magic Tower and the Royal Magic Corps many times, the faces and stories of those who looked at Ethan with sharp expressions came to mind vividly.
“To be honest, I think I’m more talented at making potions than Mr. Ethan. Conversely, that means I can teach Mr. Ethan.”
Although no one said anything, they nodded in agreement with Grandel’s words.
The students gathered here were so skilled that they would not be outdone by any wizards brought here.
The same goes for making potions.
“Everyone must be doubting my abilities. So, first, I will prove my abilities as you said.”
Ethan had already anticipated their backlash. The proud wizard had been through a lot already.
Even students are no exception.
So, the only thing that can quell their complaints and dissatisfaction is their ability.
Ethan spread out some herbs on a long table in front of him.
-Cast the Heoryu herbal medicine!
Then he immediately started making the herbal medicine.
The students watched Ethan’s every move. He took out the herbs and crushed them. He added the herbs at the right time and mixed them.
It seemed like I was making a potion, but something was different.
“How was the potion making class so far? It must have been quite difficult. It was a basic class, but it was quite difficult, so students who didn’t like it would have had a hard time taking the class.”
Even if you take difficult classes, the only thing you can gain is basic potion making skills.
“Besides, there must have been many students who thought that the lessons they could gain were too basic and not worth the effort. Nevertheless, most students would still want to take this class because it is valuable.”
It took about 3 minutes.
It normally takes at least ten minutes to make a single potion. Ethan managed to make a potion in a remarkably fast time.
In an instant, Ethan made a potion and put it in a glass bottle. The students who had been complaining were now focusing on Ethan’s movements.
He clearly said he was a swordsman and a teacher, but the way he made potions made him look like a wizard himself.
Ethan raised his hand before closing the lid of the potion he had created.
In fact, you can’t be called a wizard just by making potions.
So, to turn their interest into conviction, you have to become a wizard, at least for this one moment.
‘With this, I become a teacher in charge of potion making from an outsider in the swordsmanship department.’
“Blessings of nature.”
Ethan used the ancient magic he had gained from his trials, the blessings of nature.
Of course, nature’s blessing did not give any additional effects to the potion, but it could definitely have an impact on students who did not know the ancient magic.
“uh!?”
“Now, the blessing of nature?”
The students were bewildered by the magic they were hearing about for the first time in their lives. Soon, the students’ eyes changed.
At this moment, Ethan was not a teacher at the Knights College.
From potion making to magic. Isn’t that the perfect teacher for the Faculty of Magic?
A situation that is very different from what they thought.
Ethan lightly tossed the closed bottle of medicine.
widely-!
Grandel’s expression hardened as he received the potion.
“Try it and you’ll know. Whether you’re just pretending to make it or whether you’ve really made it.”
Grandel drank the potion straight away. And then he realized something.
I feel energized all over my body. My senses in particular are starting to become more sensitive.
Shhh-.
I waved my hand once and I knew.
This potion is real. It was especially tasteless, which made it seem like a high-quality potion.
It’s amazing how a potion of this quality can be made so quickly.
I was so surprised that I couldn’t speak.
“Okay, that’s all I want to show you. Thank you for watching. Now, any students who want to leave may do so.”
The meaning was clear. With his eyes closed, Ethan had no idea who had left.
Ethan closed his eyes calmly.
The meaning was clear.
It means leaving the choice up to the students.
Like that, 2 minutes.
Ethan opened his eyes and smiled brightly.
“Can we talk about class now?”
There were no defectors.
* * *
“If only half, or even a third, remain, then that would be considered a success. I don’t think there are any wizards as picky as our undergraduate students.”
Dean’s Office.
The Dean of Magic thought that Ethan’s class would have about a third of the students remaining.
The reaction earlier was the worst. It is clear that there is a great deal of resistance to a teacher from the Department of Knights teaching a class from the Department of Magic.
If a teacher had proven his abilities, he might have been able to reduce the resistance to some extent, but Ethan was a new teacher.
The dean thought that it would be a success if only about a third of the new teachers who had stood out in the swordsmanship department remained.
“Dean, class is over.”
The dean gave Ethan a pitiful look as he came to report the results.
“I know Mr. Ethan’s skills because I saw it earlier. But the students are suspicious at first. If they don’t like it, they just don’t attend the class. But don’t worry too much. This will be a great experience for the teacher.”
It was extremely rare for a new teacher to teach two classes at once, taking on classes from different departments.
Just the experience of teaching different classes at the same time made this experience meaningful. I think Ethan would agree.
“Thank you for the advice.”
“So how much is left? It might be a little painful, but you have to listen.”
The dean asked, hoping to comfort him further.
Ethan looked at the dean and said nonchalantly.
“50 people.”
“Oh my, there really is a lot less people… … Huh? 50 people?”
The dean’s eyes suddenly opened wide.
“There are 0 defectors.”
