CH.374 School isn’t Scary
“Quick question Alice. Why did we never visit the school before His Majesty asked us to? Doesn’t your brother live here?” Lua asked Alice as we were riding towards the Royal Academy.
“... our relationship is … awkward.” Alice admitted. “He was always what I wanted to be. … no. What Father wanted to be. But despite that, he was the one getting to go out and hunt monsters, while I was stuck at ho studying.”
“Oh right. I rember Diamond Sword taking him out to hunt monsters.” Lua said. “... we were a bit jealous of those quests because they paid so well.”
“Wait? The overprotective father that is Brandon was willing to send his son out into the world to fight monsters? What did he eat that day?” I asked.
“Rember that he is only protective about .” Alice reminded . “Sure Danny was important because he is the one to take over the title, but not like . Even if he died, Father was just going to have marry soone who’d take over.”
“And that is why I hate noble politics.” Lua said.
“Not everyone is lucky enough to find soone they truly love, noble or otherwise.” Alice said.
“I did. And not just one.” I said, before giving both of them a kiss.
“Welco to the Royal Academy.” A teacher from the institute welcod us. He was a younger man, not much older than I am, with silver-white hair and a pair of what I think are wolf ears coming out of his head. No tail though, so he is like Valoa in that way. Wonder why they don’t have a tail? Will they gain a tail when they evolve? What are the advantages and disadvantages of having a tail?
“Thank you. I believe you wanted us to take part in so special magic lesson. Could you fill us in?” I requested. I knew a bit of the day plan from a letter I got, but it wasn’t fully planned out at that ti, so I wasn’t fully in the know.
“Yes, of course. But please, let’s head inside.”
While showing us around, the wolf-man explained a bit to us. For school reasons, our visit was written off as two great witches from the Sage’s tower coming to show off so magic. I an, they do need an official reason in the books, and thankfully both Alice and Lua got recognized as great witches.
And while that was going to happen, there was another thing that was planned. Mainly showing off so monsters to … I know I said scared last ti, but maybe I should say that we are trying to convince the students that S and SS-rank monsters are scary.
The ‘class’ we were holding was fully optional, but highly recomnded for anyone looking into magic or monster hunting. And because they advertised that Alice, who had gotten so fa in the capital for the two tis she took down an SS-rank monster, was holding it, it got a large audience.
The initial part of our ‘lesson’ was held in a large auditorium, where I would be using the Dungeon Founder and Storage combo to show so nice visuals to our audience. And from there, we will have a short break before the second part where I summon a monster to scare the absolute bejesus out of them.
“Nervous?” I asked Alice before we walked out there. Lua seed relatively calm, probably thanks to all the tis she has acted as a teacher in the dhampir villages, but Alice was a bit tense.
“... Sowhat. What about you Brian? Have you ever done public speaking like this?”
“A few tis before … I founded TinaWood. It was part of the school I went to.”
“Were you nervous?”
“I guess. For , I always want to give my presentation quickly just to get it over with. That way, I can relax later. Of course it doesn’t always work out for the best, but who cares. As long as you don’t, it will be fine.”
“But what if I make a fool of myself?” Alice asked.
“Alice. We are discussing ways to combat SS-rank monsters, or mainly how to not die while waiting for soone stronger to co. If you think anyone will see you as a fool when you are one of the few people alive that can take on SS-ranks. Well, do people like that even exist? Admittedly the answer is probably yes, but still. Just relax and go with the flow.”
“And if anyone gets noisy, just use a small spell to shut them up.” Lua added. Does she do that when she is teaching people?
“... I’m not so sure that is a great idea.” I told her. “It might work in the villages, but this is a school.”
“You say that, but we know the monster you are planning on summoning.” Lua comnted.
“I actually changed my mind.” I told her. “I know I said I was going to summon The Wicked Dreadroot because of its aura of oppression, but I think it might be a bit much. I don’t want soone accidentally having a heart attack or sothing.”

“I tribute the three Marron.” I began the summoning process before I started off with my summoning chant.
“Roaring titan of justice and judgnt.
Hear my prayer from beneath the pavent.
Punish those who hath done wrong.
Crush their heart and show who's strong.
Show them all your strength and might.
Rise and bring victory in this fight.
Obelisk the torntor!”
