Didn't you see he's very dejected right now?" Yoshino said to Yoshinon with a hint of reproach, and at the same time, she turned to look at the dejected Negi, her brows furrowed.
"Negi, although you are indeed very talented, if you continue like this, you won't be able to catch up with your father's footsteps."
"!!?" Hearing Yoshino's words, Negi, who was still in a state of dejection, looked up, his eyes wide, at Yoshino. "Do you know my father, Miss Yoshino?" Negi asked somewhat anxiously.
Following his father's footsteps had always been the only path for this child who had never seen his parents since he was young, and only by doing so could he feel hope of finding his father.
"Yes, I do know your father.
However, I haven't seen him in over ten years.
Back then, your father and I were comrades in arms; Nagi, as the King of Thousand Curses, never showed such a weak expression because of any difficulty.
No matter what the matter is, only by handling the task at hand can you gain more experience and thought to consider, isn't that right?
Aren't you here at Mahora as a teacher precisely so you can become even more excellent in the future?
So you must cheer up, Teacher Negi!" Yoshino said gently to Negi.
Although she wanted to sternly lecture Negi, hearing his voice made her think of Misaka Mikoto, and all words got stuck in her throat, leaving only words of comfort in the end.
"Yes, I understand! Thank you, Teacher Yoshino!" Negi gave a bright smile and said gratefully to Yoshino, it seemed his training to become an excellent mage was still far from enough!
Negi said to himself in his heart.
Although he didn't know that Yoshino and his father were comrades, for now, he should first complete his mission well.
"Oh, Teacher Negi, here you go, this is the class roster." Seeing Negi slowly recover with Yoshino's comfort, Shizuna handed a booklet to Negi, while giving him a gentle smile, "There are thirty students.
I'm sure Teacher Negi can get along well with them, right?"
"Well, this is the classroom for Class 2-A, Negi, good luck!" Shizuna led Negi to the door of a classroom and said to him, and Negi, after taking a deep breath, pushed the door open and walked into the classroom.
Then, as expected, for middle school students of this age, playing pranks on new teachers is always especially fun, such as placing chalk erasers on the door, or setting up ropes at the entrance to trip people... Although Negi subconsciously used his magic to stop the falling chalk eraser, he immediately realized that most of the people here shouldn't know about the existence of magic, so he could only obediently fall victim to it...
Negi, who had fallen in front of the podium, could only rub his head in pain, tears in his eyes, while most of the girls in Class A also noticed the cute Little Boy standing up, and they all came forward to help Negi up, apologizing for the boy's accidental injury.
"It's not like that~ Negi is your new teacher!" Shizuna, with a gentle smile on her face, clapped her hands to attract the attention of the whole class, saying words that surprised everyone, and at the same time, she gestured with an encouraging look for Negi to introduce himself.
Seeing this, Negi took a deep breath, calming his nerves, and stood on the podium, looking at the entire class seriously, then he spoke, "I am Negi Springfield, and starting today, I will be teaching English at this school.
Although I will only be teaching this semester, I ask for everyone's guidance!"
His somewhat reserved but firm demeanor undoubtedly captivated most of the girls, and the classroom immediately erupted in a huge cheer, startling Negi.
Many girls ran from their seats to the podium, asking Negi this and that, giving the impression of treating him like an adorable little animal, leaving Negi, who was not good at communication, at a loss for how to handle it.
However, just then, Shizuna clapped her hands to stop the excited students.
"Alright! Besides Teacher Negi, you also have a new math teacher.
Although she looks very petite, she is already over twenty years old, so you must treat her with respect!" Shizuna clapped her hands and said gently to everyone, while stepping aside to reveal Yoshino.
"I am Yoshino, and starting today, I will be teaching math at this school.
Although I may seem a bit young, please bear with me."
"Bang!?" At this moment, a sound of a table being struck came from the classroom.
Everyone turned to look at the back of the classroom, where a girl with long golden hair stood up, excitedly looking at Yoshino, her hand on the table.
And when Yoshino saw the other person, a happy smile also appeared on her face; she had originally thought she wouldn't be here.
"Yoshino (Kitty)!"
