Chapter 349 - A Teachers Responsibility (1/2)
Nik felt proud of himself as he drew an inscription pattern on the board and then looked towards his students. While Xiu felt slightly amused at Nik's antics, the students remained unimpressed as one of the three girls, that grew close to Nik after he helped them out financially, groaned in distress, ”Teacher, drawing inscription patterns is not in this trimester's curriculum!” Her words froze Nik's smile as his reaction pulled laughter from the class.
”Ehm,” Nik cleared his throat and displayed the thickness of his skin as he pointed at the inscription on the board, ”You all will be pleased to know that your most awesome teacher knows theories about Inscriptions that even professor Lu Ye cannot fathom.”
Nik posed while one of the boys spoke up, ”Teach! When are you beating the family heads of the other families?!”
The faces of the kids emerging from the noble families grew slightly dark. Nik's relationship with his class was quite good, except for a few troublemakers. So, being teased by his own students was not uncommon, and Nik took the controversial topic like a champ and smiled, ”Soon! Don't worry, the kids who have high scores in the monthly assessments will get an invitation as I plummet the family heads of the aristocracies!”
”Yeaaa!!!!”
Commoner students cackled loudly as Lu Piao spoke up with a lively expression, ”Teach, come and beat my old man first! He keeps forcing me to train!”
Lu Piao emerged from a lower-level aristocratic family— The Lu Family. His words made Nei Li sigh in distress while a few courageous youths hoping that their transgression won't reach their fathers, hurriedly stood up and invited Nik with a like-minded expression.
”Mine, too!” A rather loud girl stood up with rosy cheeks as Lu Piao's expression fell. The girl that stood up just now was his childhood friend and fiancee. The dark-pink haired girl looked at Lu Piao and smiled cruelly. His expression fell as he was almost sure that him inviting Nik would most surely reach his old man's ears. Nik's following words did not help him either, ”Alright, Lu Piao, after kicking your dad's ass, I will feel like a cup of wine to commemorate the addition of another family head's defeat to my list. I'll leave that task with you.”
”Eh? Teach, I was just kidding. I mean—”
Lu Piao struggled to speak when faced with Nik's wolfish grin as he felt that this moment might be the right time to push all the family heads against him so that it could get more comfortable to challenge them in the future.
”Listen up, kids!”
Nik smacked his palm on the bench and attracted the attention of the bubbly classroom.
”I might as well make it clear that I'll challenge all the family heads! Yea, you got that right! Even the family heads of the three high noble families!”
Nik announced with a fervent expression, making everyone present in the classroom gawk as he theatrically spread his arms, ”So, keep on practicing, students. I'm gonna prove that I don't need no Spirit Rings to defeat the spirit masters!”
'And that I am gonna be the most awesome teacher in your life!'
He added internally. Nik's words silenced the class momentarily before they all exclaimed loudly. Outraged were the kids that belonged to the noble lineages and excited were the ones who believed that Nik's action could trigger a revolution in the society!
