Chapter 5:

March eighth.

With solely two days left till the beginning of the brand new semester, Philip acquired a summon by means of the maid. It was a summon from none aside from Felicia Oswald.

A short second of awkward silence handed between them as they sat dealing with one another at Felicia’s workplace desk.

Felicia was the primary to interrupt the silence.

“… You may be becoming a member of me for the primary and second-year lessons.”

She checked out Philip with eyes full of unease and suspicion.

Felicia Oswald was an exemplary girl, referred to as a prodigy. On the age of seventeen, she woke up her sword expertise, changing into a supply of delight for the Oswald Viscount household. Instantly after commencement, she was really useful and have become an teacher.

By the age of twenty-three, she had mastered superior sword strategies, enabling her to strike targets from afar. This achievement solidified her {qualifications} as a professor.

Nevertheless, at twenty-six years outdated, she was now dealing with probably the most difficult disaster of her educational profession.

‘… Why on earth did my dad and mom ship that little one right here?’

She was effectively conscious of Philip’s common habits.

Each time he had some pocket cash, he would supply it to girls in high-end brothels, surrounding himself with a questionable crowd and indulging in mischievous escapades. He was the epitome of a troublemaker, expelled from the academy for almost killing a senior two grades above him.

‘He has been quiet for the previous few days. I don’t know what he’s been as much as, locked up in his room…’

Philip opened his mouth quietly, below the chilly gaze of Felicia Oswald.

“Is that each one you must say? Nothing else?”

“No. That’s not it.”

Felicia’s thoughts shortly cleared, and she or he narrowed her eyes.

“That is my remaining request as your loved ones and your sister. Because you’ve come this far, I received’t blame or betray you. As a substitute, when instructing the scholars, take it severely. Those we train… they’re merely fourteen, fifteen years outdated. It’s too early for them to be damage by somebody such as you.”

Philip let loose a comfortable sigh. He thought-about arguing towards her concern for the children, however kept away from doing so.

“Effectively, I actually intend to do it correctly.”

Nevertheless, Felicia remained unconvinced, her gaze revealing no belief.

“And tomorrow is the doorway ceremony. It’s a category the place dad and mom shall be observing.”

“In fact, I’m conscious.”

It was an data which was already acquired by Philip, a reality he was effectively conscious of.

After the doorway ceremony at Privia Academy, every division organized statement lessons for folks to know how the lessons have been carried out.

“In your case, all you must do is a short self-introduction and help in my class. I… genuinely dislike your habits, however I feel you may deal with that a lot.”

Philip might sense her feelings.

Suppressing her intense dislike and disgust as a professor, and channeling these emotions into fulfilling her sense of responsibility. It wasn’t one thing anybody might simply accomplish.

For a twenty-four-year-old younger girl, it was an astonishing stage of accountability.

“Your fixed stress is making me crave a drink after such a very long time.”

Felicia reacted strongly to Philip’s joke.

“Are you really insane? Can’t you be severe even for a second? How far will you are taking this…?”

“It’s only a joke. A joke. Persons are allowed to make jokes, you recognize.”

Felicia glared at Philip as if she wished to annihilate him, however quickly let loose a deep sigh.

“Please, Philip Oswald. I don’t anticipate you to final lengthy right here. When you can simply chorus from inflicting bother for a couple of months, I’ll even beg my dad and mom, on my knees if essential, to mean you can return to the household. Deal?”

“What are you speaking about? I plan to remain right here for at the very least 5 years. I wish to spend extra time with you, sis… ugh!”

Philip shortly dodged the teacup Felicia threw at him. Because of her heightened magical skills, Felicia’s lengthy blonde hair swayed within the air like rippling waves.

‘She’s actually livid.’

“… Get out. I don’t wish to see your face proper now. When you proceed with this perspective throughout tomorrow’s class, I received’t forgive you.”

“Positive, let’s meet tomorrow then.”

Philip swiftly exited Felicia’s laboratory as if escaping.

‘Why is the Grasp so merciless? She appeared like a form sister, however why does he tease her like this?’

Neria complained, expressing her discontent. Philip chuckled and responded.

When the semester started, the in the beginning process was to deftly manipulate the kid who would develop into the principle protagonist. Even when it meant sacrificing others, the protagonist needed to be molded right into a dependable ally.

“For the sake of comfort, I’ll skip the formalities. I hope you perceive, esteemed visitors. Earlier than you embark in your martial arts coaching, it’s important to understand why the sword, out of assorted formidable weapons like spears, axes, and whips, has been the weapon of selection for a lot of.”

Felicia’s voice had a fragile, girlish high quality, but it carried a peculiar charisma. Phillip watched her lecture with a content material smile.

“Is that the famend teacher, Phillip Oswald?”

“What was the headmaster considering, admitting such a nugatory particular person to the academy?”

“Effectively, even prestigious establishments can not preserve their repute indefinitely, can they?”

‘I can hear every part you’re saying, you bastards.’

Phillip calmly closed his eyes, suppressing the surge of anger. Although they spoke in a refined method, their phrases held contempt.

“So, the headmaster intends to undermine the academy by permitting incompetence to infiltrate, articulated in such a sublime method.”

It didn’t agitate or infuriate him. Abruptly, he felt as if he might hear the voice of Professor Emil resonating inside his thoughts.

‘It should have been powerful, proper? These nugatory people belittling you as a good-for-nothing, a chunk of trash. It should have been amusing to witness these conceited, privileged fools babbling nonsense with none substance.’

That was precisely the scenario now. They have been ignorant individuals who knew nothing.

“… As extra lands have been conquered and cities emerged, even in slim alleyways, the sword grew to become the weapon of selection for the the Aristocracy, offering ample fight effectiveness. Moreover, our first grasp, Solbein, developed strategies to build up and harness magical energy throughout the physique…”

Unbeknownst to them, the category was steadily progressing in the direction of the midpoint. Quickly, it will be Phillip’s flip to step ahead.

“Now, let me briefly introduce the instructors who will help in at present’s lesson. Teacher Farenhall?”

In response to Felicia’s name, Diana stepped ahead.

“Welcome, everybody. I’m Diana Farenhall, the teacher who will information you any further. These of you who’ve older siblings might have heard rumors about me. I guarantee you that these rumors maintain true, so you may anticipate nice issues.”

‘She’s referred to as the Ice Teacher, proper? Though I’m extra accustomed to calling her Blue.’

Phillip chuckled as he recalled details about Diana. The expressions on the brand new college students’ faces have been various.

The scholars with older siblings grew pale, whereas those that hadn’t heard rumors appeared to ponder their luck of encountering such a sexy teacher.

“Then, Teacher? Would you have the ability to give the scholars a short demonstration of your expertise?”

“Sure, Professor.”

Though they have been sisters in personal, Diana handled Felicia with a refined sense of superiority on this public setting.

She respectfully bowed earlier than drawing her sword from her waist. Approaching the observe dummy positioned within the middle of the martial arts corridor, Diana swiftly struck it with precision.

In a fleeting second, it occurred. Whether or not it was a mere glimmer of the blade or the manifestation of sword vitality, solely these with a sure stage of experience might really comprehend.

Quickly, the coaching dummy’s head and decrease physique have been sliced into 4 separate items, tumbling to the bottom.

“Did she cut up the sword vitality into three strands in that temporary contact? I’ve heard rumors, however that is really spectacular. If it have been my first time witnessing it, I might be utterly stunned.”

“With such achievements at her age, any knightly order would eagerly search to recruit her. It’s outstanding.”

The dad and mom couldn’t assist however categorical their admiration. Being heirs of martial arts themselves, they may objectively assess Diana’s ability stage.

“Wow…”

“What? How did she do this?”

“She’s fairly intimidating…”

The brand new college students have been left speechless, their mouths agape with astonishment.

Amongst them have been youngsters from notable and prestigious households, however the knights of these households had by no means showcased such superior strategies merely for somebody’s leisure. In consequence, nearly all of the brand new college students have been witnessing such subtle expertise for the primary time.

At the same time as expert warriors from strange households, their swordsmanship was of an distinctive stage.

“That concludes it.”

Diana returned to her authentic place, which occurred to be reverse Phillip.

Phillip gulped nervously. Regardless of his preparations, the anticipation of this second was unavoidable.

“… Subsequent, Teacher Oswald?”

Regardless of the composed tone of voice, the gazes directed at Phillip appeared brimming with nervousness.
