56 First otherworldly studen (1/2)
The bidding war raged on for a few minutes before it stopped itself just over 100 points, 105 to be exact.
In reality, Ensen wouldn't directly gain anything from this deal as the points would go to paying off the loan he had previously taken from the system.
However, with the 105 points gone from his debt, it was reduced to a very modest 15 points which could easily be completely cleaned after he completed his next mission.
'That's not bad.' Ensen thought.
As the auction came to an end, he heard a knock on his door.
Standing up, Ensen tried to straighten up both his clothes and hair slightly before opening the door.
On the opposite side of the door was a rather old lady in her mid-sixties who had a kind smile.
She wore casual clothes, and although she seemed rather aged she moved with grace and elegance that was uncommon for her age.
”It's nice to meet you, Sir. I am Karina Vaughn.” Karina said with a gentle smile on her face.
Looking at the odd sight, Ensen invited her inside.
”Would you like something to drink, Karina?” Ensen asked carefully, trying to be nice to his guest.
”No thanks, I'm just here to inform you that I was the person who won your education offer. Of course, I'm too busy to attend school so I will be sending one of my younger apprentices if that is alright with you.” She said with a gentle voice as if she was nature herself.
”Yeah, I have no problem with that at all. As long as your apprentice passes my requirements they can freely come to learn.” Ensen said carefully, still cautiously about the penalty for accepting students below the minimum.
Nodding in understanding, Karina proceeded to make some small talk for a few minutes before excusing herself.
”That was… weird. Who was that lady?” Ensen asked.
[She is the host of the Heavenly Medical System, she's been the host for a rather long time too.] The system informed him.
”For a long time? Do systems change hosts often?” Ensen asked in curiosity.
[Not intentionally, it's just that the majority of systems revolve around conflict. Even Karina is not excluded from this, she had battled oppression by numerous forces for the majority of her time as a host.]
Nodding his head in understanding, Ensen felt happy that his system was rather peaceful. After all, he would not last long in her position at all.
After staying in the room for a few more minutes to see everything wrap up, Ensen returned to his world. With his body laying on the couch once again, he slowly drifted off to sleep.
The next morning as Ensen awoke, he felt incredibly refreshed besides the small ache in his back.
Ensen spent the rest of the week focusing on teaching his classes. While both math and English had a pretty solid start, music and gym were getting there. As Ensen spent more and more effort trying to refine the rough plan he had made, he noticed that the week simply flew by.
-------
It was now Friday, with the last class of the week about to wrap up the students were naturally excited for a break.
While all of the students truly did appreciate the opportunity to learn at the Academy, it was only natural that a break would be good for them. Ensen was no different, the week had been exhausting for him due to all of the adapting and new experiences he had such as teaching new classes.
As Ensen drove the students home with Stephen in front, he grew curious about something.
”How was your first week of school guys?” He asked kindly.
”It was good,” Stephen said calmly as he kept staring out of the window.
”I wish I could go into the forest again, but it was fun, especially gym class!” Warren said.
Nodding in the satisfaction that they were both happy about their classes so far, he turned his attention to Anabella.
”What about you Anabella?” Ensen asked.
Unlike the others, Anabella simply raised her hands and formed a thumbs up with it.
'I'll take it.' Ensen thought.
”Well that's good, I hope you guys keep enjoying it then,” Ensen said happily as the orphanage had appeared in their sight.
Soon after they arrived at the orphanage.
