[Eon's POV: ]
"Your end term exams will start in two weeks. Fifteen days from now to be precise."
Sir Jaz entered the classroom while floating like he usually does and as soon as he placed his books on the table, the first thing he said instead of his greetings was this announcent that not many of us were ready for.
"Hmmm?"
"Fifteen days?!"
"Teacher?!"
"Wait, what?! Shouldn't we still have a month?!"
-Tap! Tap! Tap!
He knew this was going to happen anyway so he was prepared for all the questions that were going to co his way.
All the questions from the students were genuine and simple, so he also knew how to answer all these questions.
"Shut up or else you won't be sitting in my class today."
He even knew how to shut the students up so that they don't cause a commotion over sothing that not even he had any control over.
"I understand you didn't expect this, but this is it. It is apparently already finalised by the higher authorities so we have no say in it this ti."
The teachers usually gets to vote when the exams were supposed to start, but that doesn't happen in so cases, and this ti, since the exam was going happen after the grand conference, in a ti where many changes have been made on macro and micro scales, the test dates aren't up to their collective decision.
'The headmaster as well as the council must have decided this on their own with so idea in their mind.'
It's not a simple thing, but it isn't new in this academy either.
"Well, we don't have to worry about anything. Our course is done, and we will do a revision in the following week before you have your study leave."
He looked around the classroom, and he knew there were many questions that the students wanted to ask, but he didn't entertain those questions.
"We'll start with the attendance."
He picked up his na list and started with the list of nas that have always been the sa ever since the start of this academic year.
[{ "He doesn't seem to be in a good mood today… do you think sothing has happened?" }]
Rein was curious why our pretty calm teacher was acting like this today.
She could see he was frustrated about sothing, she could also see how there was a complex cloud of emotions on top of his head right now, and she showed it to through vision sharing while she was doing it.
'Through her unique eyes, she was seeing how he was right now, his mood, his connections with his mood, when she focused a little, she even found a broken string of emotion among the other strings attached to him.'
It was pretty new since this was the first ti she was seeing him with a broken string of any kind of emotion.
[{ "Did his girlfriend break up with him?" }]
It was strange, even to . But I don't think it was because of so relationship issue. This particular kind of strong, as we have seen a few tis in a few other individuals, was related to familial problems.
[{ "Look closely, dummy?" }]
Spotting the difference between these strings was a difficult task so even though she could see these strings, she could not differentiate between the various similar looking ones just yet.
These strings were pretty unique and at the sa ti, pretty simple to understand to the eyes that could see them. So, while she couldn't understand them yet, I could. And since I could do it, I could also correct her whenever she was thinking dumb things like these.
[{ "Sothing must have happened back ho. In fact, look at that other string… that's the one related to relationships. It's gotten one string thicker." }]
[{ "Hmmm? One string?" }]
[{ "Yeah. There were only twenty strings the last ti, now there are twenty one." }]
[{ "You can tell that much as well? How?" }]
[{ "What do you an, how? I just count them, then I rember their structures and differentiate between them whenever we see it." }]
It's not as simple a thing as I was talking about since the elents involved in this whole process were too scattered for even the possessors of the eyes that could see these unique things to understand and differentiate between them.
'I can do that with my eyes thanks to the Origin skill I have as well as the practice I have had through my experiences in the great forest.'
My attention to differences and details was a simple thing, but it was not sothing too simple.
'I can see things, but that's it. I cannot see the Truth of things like she can.'
The ability to see these strings, the ability to understand these emotions and interpret them into a form that even I can see was her ability, not mine.
[{ "You think too much, Rein. It's nothing as special as being able to see these things in the first place." }]
She was surprised how I could spot twenty one certain strings out of perhaps thousands that were currently circulating around the teacher.
These strings were also unique, each one of them were of a unique hue and was different from the other one.
Each one of them represented a certain thing, so it was Very difficult to spot the difference between them… but ultimately, these things were related to energy and the construction factors related to their forms.
So, it was easier for to understand them than her who didn't yet know the truth of [Origin true energy].
"That's good. Alright, then we will start with the revision-."
"Teacher!"
"But sir!"
"Sir, what about the tests?! Don't you have to tell us what the exam will be or how it will be conducted? Will we do sothing similar to midterms or will it be different?!"
"Shouldn't it be sothing different considering this is the final paper?"
There were many questions that the students wanted to ask and they were having difficulty understanding why the teaching was being so difficult today.
They didn't know about his condition and how he didn't even have any motivation to teach, but the teacher didn't want them to know either.
"As you all know, you are already on your first year term exams. You have been here for almost a year now and you have given more than a few tests already, including the midterms."
He looked at the entire class with an upset, almost disappointed look.
"By now, you all should understand how the academy works and what you have to do for Your exams. Its not the teachers' task to tell you every single thing and spoon feed you anything like we had to at the start."
He shook his head, went back to the blackboard, and started writing about things that he was going to revise today.
He didn't say anything anymore, and from his behaviour, the students also knew he was in no mood to say anything either…
So of them got the idea that asking anything anymore was useless.
So even sensed that he was not in a good mood and that things might get a little ugly if they end up doing sothing they should not.
Alpha and the others wanted to ask questions, there were a few who even wanted to voice against his current behaviour but they kept quiet.
"So, what are we supposed to study exactly?"
"How are we supposed to prepare for the exam?"
They didn't even whisper among themselves like a few students that the teacher shot a sharp glance at.
He didn't want any disturbances today. He wanted to finish teaching and go back so that he could deal with his own issues.
'He already seed to be upset because of the one sided decision of the faculty, but he seed to have greater things to worry about.'
He didn't seem to be in a good position right now…
[{ "Do you think sothing is happening among the vampires?" }]
He was pure blood and closely related to soone close to their originators.
He was like an adolescent in their community as well, so there could be so other kind of problem going on over there that we did not know about.
'There could be many things wrong with this whole situation, but as students, we didn't have to worry about our teacher's behaviour.'
Enjoy new tales from empire
He was a teacher and he was teaching us without bringing his own personal problems into teachings.
We didn't have to worry about him since he obviously knew what he was doing, however, that was as 'students' of his class.
[{ "We should ask Del. She might have an idea about this, you know?" }]
As the mbers of the student council of this academy, there was sothing else that we could do as well.
[{ "We have that option, sure. But…" }]
And though unethical, we might get to know a little more than we were digging if we do it like this.
[{ "We can simply ask the one that he was with just now as well, no?" }]
[{ "…?" }]
It has been a while since we found out about the new Spring that had blood in his life.
He was pretty old and must have been with a few people, but since a few months ago, he had also found soone to spend his personal ti with.
'We have not muddled into their personal life until now so we don't know who this other person is, but he had just given us a reason to look into it.'
Actually, he had just opened the gate to the answer of the identity of that person to us just now.
'It would be a foolish idea not to explore this 'new' string that had appeared among the countless that had already existed with him.'
