94 Monster studies (2/2)
I smiled as I began to pace back and forth, ”Your school days might have started two months ago but in my class, what you hear is something new, such as Monster concepts and mindsets.”
Smiling, I looked over at the students who were excited and serious, ”Are monsters as smart as us?” I asked while swinging my cane. ”No…” A student asked while looking at me, I shook my head and replied ”They are, you don't realise it, but the moment any being can move their hands and legs… they become intelligent beings, a monster, a human, a beastmen and any other race.”
I smiled as I tapped my cane once on the ground before a question on the board began to glow and slowly fade, a figure appeared in the middle of the room moving around on the stadium, sniffing the air and looking around it before baring its fangs on the students. I looked at the scared students before smiling ”This is only a fake one, do not worry it won't bite… Let me introduce you to this Timberwolf.”
I walked over the Timberwolf and looked at the students while standing next to it, ”What makes it intelligent? Is it the instincts? Is it the capability of killing its prey? Or is it how to avoid danger?”
I stood there while waiting for any students to answer but it seems that no one can, ”I know that all of you are young to know this but I want you to remember that the moment you thought 'A monster is unintelligent' is the same moment you will lose your lives on the battlefield or adventure” I said while my face turned serious.
'8 years old, this world is not as it used to be… I will shelter you but you need to think!' I thought as my smile slowly turned bright. ”Mr, what can we do?” A worried girl said as she looked at the Timberwolf. I looked at her and nodded at her question ”Think, analyse, study, plan and execute! No matter what, if you find something wrong, take a step back, if you feel suspicious, run away.”
The girl nodded but a boy sitting in the back looking a bit arrogant stood up ”Teacher! Why should we run away, I will pick up my sword and slash that monster!” he said while grinning. The students around him began whispering.
I smiled at his arrogance and asked him ”Oh really? What if it can't be hit?”
The boy smiled and replied ”I will call my clan!” he said while looking arrogantly at everyone in the room. I nodded my head ”That is a good choice, always having a plan is great but if you can't escape? A monster intelligence is limited, and it doesn't care about your family.”
The boy shut himself up before sitting down, and I continued ”This is what school is, for now, think before doing anything, study when you are given a chance! Do not be stupid and always be ready for any situation! I will take my seat now, and Mrs Emma will continue the class on Monster basics chapter 1 page 22.”
All the students nodded before taking their books from their tables and opening them. ”Hello students, let us begin with the basics…”
Emma looked at me before smiling and looking back at the students, ”Timberwolf, discovered date xx favourite food xx…”

Two shadows gathered on the island, hidden from the sight of any monitoring, they looked around as they noticed their bodies under the robes were slowly disintegrating, one of the shadows spoke in a low voice ”We can't find anything, report back to the leader… ”
Both of the shadows disappeared, but they didn't notice a small kid was standing behind them watching their every move, he smiled as he also disappeared from his spot.
