Chapter 18:
It was Friday, and the week was winding down after the completion of trade coaching, ushering within the much-awaited weekend.
With no courses scheduled for the day, Phillip wasted no time and located himself caught within the college room proper after arriving at work. He aimed to wrap up his duties earlier than calling it a day.
Being neither a professor nor holding any main administrative place, Phillip’s duties as a mere instructing assistant had been a breeze.
His obligations largely revolved round routine duties like checking the standing of coaching supplies or compiling peculiarities associated to the scholars.
With focus, he might get them executed inside a few hours.
Unfolding the trusty pocket book he at all times carried round, Phillip started transferring his handwritten notes to official paperwork. After some time, he heard somebody calling out to him.
“Teacher Oswald. What are you doing right here? Weren’t you informed to come back to the workplace?”Ñøv€lRapture marked the preliminary internet hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.
It was Professor Felicia Oswald. After verifying that Phillip was the one one within the college room, she approached him.
“I requested one other colleague to summon you. Didn’t you see them?”
Phillip shrugged. Nobody had approached him.
“Nobody confirmed up.”
“Actually?”
“Why would I lie? I didn’t have a lot else to do, so if somebody had referred to as me, I might have gone to see what they wished straight away.”
As Felicia listened to Phillip’s clarification, her expression tightened barely.
“Why’s that?”
“Haron Beibeu. That man is simply unimaginable. I’m certain he particularly requested you to name me, however…”
Haron Beibeu was a school member who had clashed with Phillip earlier than. Whereas others may need brushed it off as a coincidence, it appeared there was a particular motive behind his actions.
Felicia pointed her finger and evenly jabbed Philip’s shoulder.
“It’s your fault, Philip. It is best to have given him a couple of smacks again then, even in the event you knew I’d scold you. Indulging him like that led to this case, didn’t it?”
Philip replied, “Nicely, saying that makes it sound prefer it’s all my fault. However why did you come in search of me?”
“We want a swordsmanship teacher to accompany us for the third-year out of doors coaching, and we’re the one yr with out courses immediately.”
“Out of doors coaching? Ah, you imply the newly found dungeon, proper?”
If it was the out of doors coaching talked about within the magical academy, it might solely be a dungeon exploration.
“Yeah, it’s the place past the lake that was lately discovered. Professor Evelyn from the Magic Division went on an expedition there final week. There’s not a lot hazard, just some easy traps, and it appears to have some guardian demons like goblins or skeletons.”
“So, I simply have to observe you there?”
Felicia nodded.
“Sure. The opposite instructors will information us, and you need to solely intervene if it appears harmful whereas watching the scholars.”
“Sounds simple. The place can we go?”
“Should you head to the Magic Division, everybody must be preparing by now.”
“Alright, I’ll get ready.”
Philip stood up from his seat and readied himself. Because it was a low-level dungeon, he didn’t want armor.
As he was about to go away the division, Felicia grabbed his hand.
“Why?”
“Simply take care and are available again safely. Don’t get into any bother, okay?”
Philip smiled at her affectionate concern and replied, “It’s only a easy journey to a low-level dungeon. I’ll be again earlier than it.”
With that assurance, Philip left the room.
The Magic Division was bustling with preparations for the sensible coaching.
In contrast to the neat and minimal inside of the Swordsmanship Division, the Magic Division was cluttered with all kinds of magical instruments and half-read books, making it arduous to know the place to start out.
“Oh, Teacher Philip… I heard that you simply’ll be becoming a member of us for the coaching.”
Perak expressed his gratitude.
Although it didn’t matter to Phillip both approach. In spite of everything, Priscilla was a junior to Teacher Perak, and never his personal junior.
The carriage they boarded wasn’t for passengers however for baggage. It could be a bit uncomfortable, however it was simply an hour’s journey, so Philip figured he might endure it.
Extending his hand to Priscilla, he invited her, “Come on in.”
“Um… Nicely, thanks,” Priscilla responded, uncertain of what to do, and finally took his hand, and stepped into the carriage. Shortly after, the carriage carrying the opposite college students and Teacher Perak departed, with Philip’s carriage following behind.
An ungainly silence settled in.
With no seats out there, Philip and Priscilla needed to sit on prime of some bins, and every time the carriage jolted, Philip needed to take heed to Priscilla’s occasional screams.
“Ah!”
“Are you alright?” Philip requested.
“Uh… Sure, I’m… fantastic,” she replied, her voice hesitant.
Deciding to interrupt the silence and have interaction in dialog, Philip requested, “By the best way, in the event you don’t thoughts me asking, how previous are you, Teacher? You appear to be across the identical age as me.”
“I’m… twenty-two years previous this yr.”
“You’re the identical age as me,” Philip acknowledged.
“Are you… additionally twenty-two years previous?” Priscilla inquired cautiously.
Philip nodded and smiled. “In that case, let’s get alongside properly any longer. We’re each new instructors, so we have now lots in frequent. In truth, since we’ve ended up like this, let’s be mates any longer. Pals who can share worries and assist one another via powerful instances. How does that sound?”
“Sure… sure?” Priscilla appeared unsure.
“That’s nice. All of it labored out properly.”
Since he needed to have some type of info community on the Magic Division aspect anyway, there was nothing mistaken with changing into mates together with her.
In addition to, she appeared like the sort who would inform him something if he nudged her slightly.
Philip knew from expertise that with individuals like Priscilla, he needed to push with out giving them time to assume.
As she hesitated, Phillip requested with a barely upset expression, “Do you dislike it, by any likelihood?”
“Oh, no! It’s not that… It’s simply that it’s so sudden…”
Priscilla finally took Philip’s hand. He felt a powerful sense of discomfort at that second.
“… Huh?”
It was an indescribable feeling, and the discomfort shortly light away. Nevertheless, it felt like she was lacking one thing essential that he couldn’t merely overlook.
“Um, Teacher?”
On the sound of Priscilla calling him, Philip snapped again to consideration and launched her hand.
“Ah, I’m sorry.”
‘What was that simply now?’
Philip examined her once more, however he couldn’t detect any specific indicators.
Her stressed pupils and quivering lips, as if eager to say one thing, didn’t seem to be an act in any respect.
‘Perhaps it’s only a misunderstanding?’
If there was one thing hidden from him, the likelihood of Philip being conscious of it was low. In spite of everything, Priscilla was an individual not current in his database from the start.
“… I used to be really considering whether or not it was okay to let go of the dialog. If it’s rude to ask…,” he thought as he continued the dialog to extend intimacy.
Maybe he ought to use the Dragon Horn’s Flute(additionally referred to as ‘Horn of Revelation’) on her first.
‘It may very well be one thing surprising. Actually, it’s a bit suspicious that as an teacher on the academy, she has by no means revealed herself within the recreation.’
The ‘Horn of Revelation’ was an artifact that exposed the true nature of all objects and other people. If she was hiding one thing, it was extremely seemingly that it was her true identification.
