The way all the students treated William changed drastically after he showcased his power. No one wanted to get into his nerves anymore, and the fact that he had only one arm vanished from their minds.
What if he only had one arm? It didn’t matter in the end, as he was more than capable of teaching. That was what all the students were thinking.
Additionally, for them, William had now beco a mysterious figure. It was the first ti they had seen a teacher like him. His statent about winning against all other teachers in combat while only having one arm stuck into their brains.
Everyone paid close attention to his teachings throughout the entire class, especially the student who had fought against him.
All the students from that class used body-enhancing magic. That magic academy was massive, so it had teachers from all kinds of magic suited to different types of students. Not all students could use the sa type of magic, and building specific magic academies for each elent was really expensive, so no one did that.
After the class ended, William had so free ti before going into his next class. During his free ti, he went into a small restaurant inside the academy grounds to grab sothing to eat.
There, he t one of the teachers. She was a gorgeous lady, dressed in a tight black dress and with dark hair. She had a tattoo on her forearm.
"So you are the new teacher, right?" she said, drinking her orange juice. "I’ve heard about you."
William sat next to her and ordered sothing to eat.
"How do you know it’s ?" he asked.
She chuckled, "I an, you look older compared to the students with your long hair and beard. Also, everyone is talking about the new teacher who only has one arm."
William knew that deep down, most of the teachers — like the students — didn’t see him as a fit for the academy. They thought that he was just not good enough to be a teacher. They thought he was just a crippled man.
"You do have a valid point," William said, extending his right arm for a handshake, "I’m William."
"Carrie."
"So what do you teach, Carrie?"
"Summoning," she said, "it’s not a specific elent but more like a sub-elent. A student with the fire affinity can summon fire entities, for example."
"Oh?"
William got curious about it. He didn’t know sothing like that existed. Well, of course, he knew more powerful mages could use summons, but he didn’t know there was a specific subject about it.
Also, Carrie stated that one didn’t need to be a powerful mage to start summoning.
"The biggest misconception people have is that only powerful mages can use summons of their elents, and that’s wrong. There are summons from all levels of power in the Elental Realm; all you need to do is learn how to summon them."
William wondered for a mont if his necromancy summons ca from the sa realm or if it was from sowhere else. He didn’t ask her that, obviously.
"But hey, William," Carrie said, "So people are saying you said sothing about the other teachers during your first class? Like you could beat them all up with just one arm. Is that true?"
"Don’t tell the news spread this fast? My class ended like ten minutes ago," William replied.
For a mont, William thought that Carrie would get angry because of what he said, but she looked relaxed. In fact, she even joked about it.
"People in this academy have nothing else to do, so they love gossip," she said, "you should be careful about what you say."
"I’ll. Thanks."
The waiter ca with William’s food, and with it, Carrie left, stating that she had so business to attend to and couldn’t stay longer. William didn’t mind it. It was already good enough that she talked with him in a friendly manner after what he said.
William ate his food with no hurry, savoring every bite. To his surprise, the principal ca to the restaurant to speak with him.
When he saw him, the first thing that ca to William’s mind was that he was in so deep shit about what he said or did during his first class, but in fact, the principal ca to congratulate him about it.
"A few first-year students ca to speak with , saying how they liked the new teacher. So are even saying that I should increase your classes in the first year and let other teachers deal with the senior students."
"They said that?"
"Yes, they did. And I think that’s a good idea. I really feel like you could have the most impact on the first-year students, considering your approach to the class, and how they seed to like you. It’s the first ti the students are actually asking to have extra classes during their free ti."
The students were eager to have more classes with William, and because of that, the principal was thinking of changing the classes.
"You can have the rest of the day to rest," he said, "I’ll see how I can make this work, and tomorrow, I’ll talk to you about this."
After that, the principal left, leaving William startled. He was not expecting that to happen. His first class had a profound impact on the entire academy.
Was that a good thing? In the end, William was there on a secret mission for the necromancy cult.
Anyway, he finished his al and went to his room. One of the academy guards showed him the way. It was a specific building where all the teachers lived.
Of course, most of them were not there because they had classes and other commitnts. Only Willima received the day off.
So, he used his ti to read so of the books he carried with him before leaving the necromancy cult. He used the specific spell to unfold the true content of the books.
He read them for hours, wondering when and where the other spy from the cult would contact him.
