Be my girlfriend!

Ah no.

Say it already! The more critical the moment, the less I know how to organize my thoughts. I can only keep my incoherent words stuck in my throat and can't say anything at all.

"that…"

"that…"

"that…"

I felt like my face was on fire, and the people around me, seeing my appearance, all left, bored.

"Really... Rudy..."

"Huh..."

Hilfi kissed me on the cheek.

Although I wasn't asking for a kiss, it made my already burning face even hotter.

It felt like I had entered paradise.

“Sirius…Sirius…I…I…”

"Alright, Rudy, let's go find Ms. Merlin as soon as possible, or she'll get angry."

……

"Alright, Rudy, let's go find Ms. Merlin as soon as possible, or she'll get angry."

"Well…"

Hilfi gently patted my head to soothe me. Seeing that I was feeling better, she took my hand and led me to find Teacher Merlin.

And I, like a child who had been bullied by bad kids outside and had come home to find my mother, tightly gripped Silphi's soft yet icy hand.

Hilfi held my hand and led me through floor after floor, past classroom after classroom, just like an older sister leading her wronged younger brother along the road, occasionally patting his head to comfort him.

Sylphie and I should be more like a couple, but this is how it feels right now…

But thankfully, Sylphie is still here; I'm so glad she hasn't left me.

My emotions gradually calmed down, and we were almost at our destination.

As instructed by Ms. Luo Qixi, Xilufei and I arrived at the second classroom on the fourth floor of Building C of the teaching building.

At this time, classes haven't started yet, and there aren't many students in the classroom. However, an elderly man dressed in a white Milis robe and with a long white beard, who looks like a magician in the traditional sense, is already standing in the classroom waiting.

I met this old man on my first day of school; he was the traditional image of an old mage. When Paul and Janis found me a teacher after I accidentally used an intermediate water spell in my third year in this world, I had imagined what a teacher would look like—perhaps a long white beard, wearing an old mage's robe, and with a face full of wrinkles. However, the teacher who taught me back then was Professor Lokishi.

My first impression of Mr. Merlin was that he must be a very strict teacher. Perhaps it was because it was the first time I saw him reprimanding a student.

However, Professor Loki's evaluation of him can be said to be very high. Although he is only a senior magician, and there is a clear gap in level between him and the principal and vice principal who are king-level or saint-level magicians, he has become a teacher who is like a national treasure of this school.

This is definitely not simply because he is nearly a hundred years old and has rich teaching experience.

Just standing at the classroom door and looking at this teacher's profile made me instinctively feel a deep respect for him.

Asking this teacher for magic tricks will definitely give you a different experience than trying to figure it out on your own.

"Rudy?"

Hilfi tugged at my sleeve, and I snapped out of my daze to find Merlin looking at us with a kind face, not as stern as I remembered.

"What are you standing at the door for? Come in and find a seat."

"Ah, yes."

While I was standing there in a daze, Ms. Merlin invited me and Sylphie into the classroom to sit down with the other students.

I'd rather obey than be overly respectful. Merlin probably has a class today, so I might as well audit it with Sylphie.

So we chose a seat that was relatively close to the front.

……

"Class, today I'm going to talk to you about advanced water magic, attack magic..."

Next, Mr. Merlin began to explain the principles of magic. I had heard Mr. Loki explain these things a long time ago, and I had already added my own understanding and was able to incorporate them into other magic tricks and master them.

These theoretical things made me feel a little bored.

As I listened, I started to lose focus.

Merlin probably didn't know that two water-level magicians were sitting in the audience.

I turned my head to look at Sylphie beside me. She was intently watching Merlin's lecture in front of her, her eyes fixed on the blackboard with the same focused concentration as the top students in my class back in my life. Even though there were no blackboards in this world.

I've already lost to Sylphie in Saint-level magic, Advanced Healing Spell, but unlike me, who's been daydreaming, Sylphie is now listening attentively.

Although Silphie has never been exposed to magic compression and is not as proficient as me in using mixed magic, this may be the only area where I am stronger than Silphie.

If I continue to listen to the lectures absentmindedly, while Silphie listens attentively, I won't just catch up with Silphie in other areas; Silphie will even far surpass me.

In my past life, I was complacent because I had a slight advantage in computers, and I even neglected my studies, so I could only get into the worst, stupid high school in the whole county.

I cannot repeat the same mistake.

"Many of you may become adventurers, or bodyguards for nobles, or work in the Mage's Association, or even become a teacher like me..."

"However, no matter what position you hold in the future, or what level of magic you master, even if you reach the Saint or King level, you should never use offensive magic to bully the weak."

"Magic can be used to do anything; possessing the power of magic is practically omnipotent, but..."

Power is not for bullying the weak.

Paul, Gilead, and Professor Loki also said similar things to me.

This teacher is the same.

Next, Mr. Merlin talked about the responsibilities of a magician, the values ​​that should be realized, and so on.

"Before learning how to use magic, it is more important to learn how to be a magician."

After providing the necessary ideological education, Mr. Merlin then explained the incantations, principles, and other aspects of magic.

I listened attentively to the entire lesson. Previously, I had been taught by teachers like Loki, Paul, and Kyrie Irvine. Although I had also studied other things on my own, it had been more than thirty years since I had sat in a classroom and listened attentively to a lecture like this.

During his narration, Mr. Merlin made full use of his advantage in using magic tricks without chanting, explaining both the principles of magic and the rules of chanting extremely thoroughly.

After the class ended, the students stood up, bowed to Professor Merlin, and left the classroom one by one.

The students gradually left, leaving only a few with pens and paper, still pestering the teacher with questions.

After a while, only Ms. Merlin, Sylphie, and I remained in the classroom.

"Do you two have any other questions?"

The teacher stood on the podium, looking at the two of us with kind eyes.

Hilfi and I moved from our seats and walked over to him.

I gave him a proper aristocratic bow, and Silphi bowed back in return.

Then I began to introduce myself and Sylphie.

"The student's name is Rudius Boreas Grerat, and this is Silfiet. We have long admired Master Merlin and have come to seek his guidance on the recommendation of Vice Principal Genus and Teacher Lochie."

After I finished speaking, I handed him the letter of recommendation that Professor Luo Qixi had given me.

“Mr. Genius already told me.”

After receiving the letter, Ms. Merlin did not open it, but instead stuffed it directly into her clothes.

Then, he looked me and Sylphie up and down without saying a word.

He just stared at me and Sylphie like that, and the three of us were in a very awkward situation.

What is he thinking?

Is it because of the rumors that they don't want to teach us?

But Vice Principal Genius should have already explained everything to Teacher Merlin. If Teacher Merlin was unwilling to teach us, then Loki and Vice Principal Genius probably wouldn't have recommended us.

Does he have some other plans?

This scene had been going on for almost ten minutes.

The three of us stood still, like soldiers in formation. My palms were sweaty, but I didn't dare to make any move to shake them off.

The air was almost frozen, as if a knot had been placed between the three of us.

"You did a good job. I'll be waiting for you at the school gate at five o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Huh?"

When I heard him suddenly say that, I was stunned. What did he mean by "not bad"? Did he mean that standing here without moving meant he was doing a good job?

By the time I realized what was happening, Ms. Merlin had already walked away, and all I could hear outside the classroom was the chaotic sound of students' footsteps.

"Um... Sylphie, do you understand what the teacher means...?"

Hilfi shook her head.

"I don't understand, Rudy, do you know?"

"I don't know either. But he told me the time and place, so let's go prepare early tomorrow."

……

"Teacher Luo Qixi, would you like to go out for a meal together?"

"Now? It's almost time for lunch, no, it's almost time for class. Besides, I just ate."

As soon as I entered the office, Mr. Daniel stopped me and asked me about my lunch.

I have no idea what Mr. Daniel is rambling on about...

Mr. Daniel was standing in front of my desk. Although he wasn't very tall, he still managed to draw light into my eyes.

Everything was blocked, shrouding me entirely in shadow.

Although his expression was sincere, the atmosphere was frightening, which suddenly reminded me of a prince I tutored in the Kingdom of Silon a year ago.

It really wasn't a pleasant memory.

"Teacher Luo Qixi?"

"Oh, yes, you mean, Mr. Daniel."

Perhaps Mr. Daniel realized that he was blocking all the light, making the atmosphere between us awkward, so he adjusted his position and sat down.

The light shone through the window onto me again, and the atmosphere between us eased.

"Are you free tonight, Ms. Luo Qixi?"

Several new students have registered in the last two days, probably because the enrollment documents for the new students need to be processed.

But you could just ask me for help with that kind of thing, why do you have to ask me if I have time in the evening?

"You should have time, Mr. Daniel. Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Great!"

Upon hearing my reply, Mr. Daniel suddenly turned his back and quietly cheered.

But I heard it very clearly. Although I don't know what it means, shouldn't I try to control my emotions? Mr. Daniel.

"Um... Mr. Daniel?"

"I'm so sorry, I've been rude."
