After stopping the students' noise, Weston officially entered the topic.
"Mavis will serve as my teaching assistant. You should all know this by now, right?"
"Ye—s————!!"
The children dragged out their voices and answered in unison.
They had heard about this from their parents last night.
"Then, I will announce another matter now. I have decided to select one person from among you as the 'Class Monitor' to assist Mavis and me in managing the others."
Class Monitor?!
The children's eyes lit up instantly.
If they could become the head of the class, wouldn't that mean their status would be just below Boss Weston and Mavis?
What a majestic thing that would be!
For a moment, the children all looked excited and stood up from their seats with a swish swish swish.
"Boss... ah no, Master, pick me, pick me! I'm strong. If anyone in the class disobeys, I'll beat him up for you!"
"Master, I am the most handsome man in our class besides you. The position of Class Monitor belongs to none other than me!"
"Master, my grandfather is the most respected elder in the village. I am duty-bound to take this matter!"
"Master, my second aunt always hoped to make something of herself before she died. I really want to fulfill her last wish..."
Good grief!
Using violence, flattery, bringing up status, playing the pity card...
I didn't expect you guys, who aren't much older than me, to be so shrewd when playing tricks!
Weston couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
It took quite a while before he managed to quiet the group of children down: "No need to fight. The position of Class Monitor will rotate every month, held by the person who ranks first in the 'Performance Assessment' at the end of each month."
"As for this month, Zera will temporarily hold the position."
The children immediately looked unconvinced: "Let that barbarian girl take it? Why?!"
"Because Zera has already learned magic."
With this reason, the children finally stopped protesting and sat back in their seats.
They all knew that Zera's father was the former Master of Red Lizard, and she had always been close to Weston. It was only natural that she learned magic before them.
Looking at everyone's reaction, Weston nodded with satisfaction.
"Now then, class begins!"
Having lived two lives, this was also Weston's first attempt at teaching, so he didn't have much experience.
Fortunately, the requirements for academics and skills in another world were not as pressing as in his previous life.
Before transmigrating, Weston had heard of legendary children in big cities who learned "English at three," "piano at four," "dancing at five," "reciting poetry at six," "calligraphy at seven," "Go at eight," "martial arts at nine," and "programming at ten."
It was simply treating children like robots!
Now that he had become the Principal, Master, and Village Chief, he certainly wouldn't impose such a heavy burden on the children.
Anyway, in this world, in terms of academics, recognizing basic characters and knowing simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division was enough.
—And this was basically the level of an elementary school graduate.
So there was no need to be too impatient at all.
Time passed quietly, and the shadow under the tree outside the window moved ninety degrees.
As the lunch break ended, the children finally welcomed their long-awaited "Magic Practice Class."
The location for the practice class was not in the classroom but on the playground outside the school.
"This morning, you have learned the basic concepts about magic. Now, we are going to officially learn magic."
"The first step is to perceive the magic particles in the air and condense magic power from within your body. The method is..."
Weston's lesson plan was written with the help of Elefseria and prepared in advance; it could be said to be very authentic.
The reason for this goes back to the beginning.
Ever since the decline of Magia Dragon, Elefseria had been in low spirits.
The old man felt that despite possessing Dragon Slayer Magic, he couldn't solve the "Five Dragon Gods" disaster for the people of Guiltina, so he was depressed in the guild all day long.
He often locked himself in his room, relieving his boredom with the movies, TV shows, and games copied from Weston.
Until one day, Weston initiated a chat with him, asking for help with the formal process of "teaching magic."
After a deep conversation, Elefseria learned about Weston's current situation and was immediately moved—
Since the mages of Guiltina had been scared witless by the Dragon Gods, why not go to Ishgar to find people and personally train a group of powerful mages?
After figuring this out, Elefseria finally cheered up again.
Afterward, not only did he help Weston prepare teaching materials overnight, but he also expressed his willingness to come in person after some time to lend a hand to this emerging magic guild.
When the children began to enter the state of "perceiving magic particles," Weston quietly called Mavis and Zera aside, preparing to give the two of them extra tutoring.
"Mavis, Zera."
"You two are the only ones in the guild besides me who can condense magic power. Barring any accidents, you should also be the two with the strongest magical talent among this group."
"So I decided to teach you new magic right now!"
Looking at Weston's mysterious appearance, the two girls blinked, revealing expressions of astonishment.
"You said teach magic?"
"But we've already learned it!"
Zera nodded and said, "Dad told me before that one shouldn't be greedy when learning magic. As long as one cultivates a type of magic to the extreme, one can achieve something in the future."
"Uh... that's true."
"But firstly, with your aptitude in magic, you can completely master multiple magics proficiently; secondly, the combat power of the 'Illusion Magic' and 'Fire Magic' you are practicing now is too low."
"If you encounter powerful enemies in the future, it will be very dangerous."
Mavis immediately became unsettled: "Powerful enemies?"
"Do you mean there will be enemies attacking Tenrou Island in the future?"
Weston sighed: "No one can say for sure about the future. Before the Blue Skull attack, who could have thought such a thing would happen on Tenrou Island?"
"Moreover..."
"Don't you want to find Blue Skull for revenge and reclaim the Tenrou Jade?"
Mentioning revenge and the Tenrou Jade, the two girls' expressions changed immediately.
"Revenge? Of course, we want revenge!"
"Once I become stronger, the first thing I'll do is settle accounts with Blue Skull!"
For Zera, Blue Skull killed her father and destroyed her home; revenge was a must.
Although Mavis never thought of revenge, she was deeply worried about the Tenrou Jade being lost outside.
"The Tenrou Jade... indeed cannot be left wandering outside."
"According to the ancient books on the island, the Tenrou Jade is a magic orb filled with evil power. Anyone who touches it will fall into the darkness within their heart."
"Blue Skull is already a dark guild, acting arrogantly and domineeringly. Now that they have obtained the Tenrou Jade, who knows what they will become, or how much serious harm they will cause to people outside."
