Chapter 277: New Student
The class continued until the end.
After class.
“Teacher Heath, I’ll take my leave first.”
“Goodbye, Teacher.”
The students left one after another.
Alba walked in front of Heath shyly.
Heath raised his eyebrows and asked, “What’s the matter, Alba?”
Alba hesitated for a mont and said, “Teacher, I don’t understand. Why did you ask Eric to co here? The classroom is a sacred place, and that hooligan…”
Heath was stunned.
He had not expected the students to have such strong resistance.
His gaze swept past the few apprentices who had not left yet. He saw that everyone had their ears perked up as if they were waiting for Heath’s reply. Obviously, Alba was not the only one who had doubts about this.
Heath said, “There’s nothing to explain. I’m a teacher. It’s natural for to teach. Alright, let’s go back quickly.”
Everyone looked at each other.
Alba said a little unwillingly, “…Yes…”
Heath originally thought that the matter had passed just like that. It was just that there was one more student. However, he did not expect that there would be a lot of trouble surrounding this student union in the next few days.
First, there were two students who did not continue to co to class the next morning. Although on the surface they said that there was sothing going on at ho, according to Heath’s private understanding, it was actually because of Eric that the adults in the family were worried.
Why did a child cause so many people to hate him?
After Heath understood more about it, he knew that apart from being a troublemaker, Eric was often mixed up with the ‘Red Scarves’ at the pier. It was an underground gang in Golden Harbor Town, it was basically notorious here.
After that, so parents of the students even ca directly to the door and begged Heath to let Eric leave the class.
Eric was not very firm when he ca to the classroom. After the students and their parents made a scene, he felt isolated and decided to back out.
However, just as he was about to leave, Heath stood up.
He patiently explained to the parents of the students who ca to him, “Knowledge is part of the value.”
The parents were still trying to persuade him, “Teacher Heath, we are just worried that you will get into trouble. Believe us, that is not a good child. He will bring trouble…”
He kept saying those few sentences to get Heath to chase Eric away.
After listening to so much, Heath could not help but feel a little impatient. “This is my classroom. Who should I teach? Whether I teach or not, it is up to . Don’t say anything.”
Living here as a scholar was just a way for him to experience life. Whether he taught or not depended on his own personal preferences. As for the identity and background of the students, good and evil, and so on, it was aningless to him.
“This… Alright then…”
Having said that, no matter how unwilling the parents were, they could only keep their mouths shut. If they were really dissatisfied, they could only bring their children back ho.
However, in reality, the number of people who did so could be counted on one hand. To be exact, there were no such people.
After all, this was a rare opportunity to receive an education. To them, who had been at the bottom of the hierarchy for generations, it was no different from gold that had fallen from the sky.
Even the two children who had gone ho just now returned to class a few days later.
After that, Eric went to look for Heath in private.
He said to Heath in a very adult-like tone, “Actually, you don’t have to do this. I ca here only because I agreed to soone else’s request. I simply… simply…”
He paused for a mont and snorted. “I don’t care.”
“If those people co to complain again, I’ll leave tomorrow. There’s no need for you to stand up for . Anyway, when I beco a Knight, those people who look down on will all kneel at my feet and lick my boots. Hmph.”
Heath rolled up the scroll and knocked on his head. “To be polite in front of the teacher, you must first use the polite honorific of ‘you’ and not the impolite ‘you’.”
Eric was startled and asked with so doubt, “Aren’t you afraid of ? I’ll bring trouble to you.”
Heath knocked on his head again. “I’ve said it a few tis, use honorifics. Don’t talk to again until you’ve learned this.”
“Besides, trouble isn’t sothing a child should consider. Have a good lesson.”
After a few days of getting familiar with it, Eric ca to find Heath in private and explained it again.
“It’s fake.”
Heath asked, “What?”
Eric said, “The rumors about . I’m not like that. I’m not a person with the Red Scarves, and I’ve never joined them. The one who joined them was a friend of mine, not .”
“We did hang out together in the past, but after he joined the Red Scarves, we stopped contacting each other.”
“I’m soone who wants to beco a Knight, I’m not a villain.”
Heath said, “Oh.”
Eric felt that it was very strange. Most people would tremble when they heard about the Red Scarves, and everyone even hated him because of it.
But this teacher seed to have never cared about it. He could not help but ask, “Aren’t you… afraid?”
Heath smiled. “You’ve finally learned how to use honorifics.”
Eric’s face turned slightly red.
Heath continued to answer, “I rember that I’ve already answered your question last ti. Focus on your studies. The rest is not sothing a child like you should consider.”
Eric was startled.
Although he didn’t know why his teacher’s courage ca from, Eric really liked this place.
There were many children his age, everyone was focused on learning instead of fighting. There was a lot of knowledge to be learned, and even many stories about Wizards…
In short, after staying for a few days, Eric really felt that this was a place he liked.
He nodded heavily. “I will.”
As ti passed, everyone gradually accepted Eric as a mber of this class.
In fact, in the past, people didn’t like him more because of his mischievous behavior and the bad reputation he had with the Red Scarves.
But after getting along with him, people gradually realized that this ‘bad boy’ wasn’t as annoying as they thought. He didn’t bully other children, nor did he block soone at the door and beat them up.
He also attended classes like ordinary children and listened to the teacher attentively. He also liked to listen to the legends of Wizards just like them…
Therefore, after getting along with each other for a period of ti, everyone gradually accepted Eric. In the past, no one paid attention to him. Now, there were gradually children who would invite him to play with them and so on.
Everything seed to be developing in a good direction.
However, at this ti, Eric, who was the first in class every day, suddenly skipped class…
