Chapter 120: Shadow Teachers
"Oh, good morning too, Mr. Brian." Evelyn immediately turned around to find out who was greeting everyone in such an unusual manner.
"If I may know, what are you all talking about? A new trend? Hot information?" Brian nodded with a big smile. He didn't wait for the other students to say hello, and he just wanted to get to know the hottest gossip.
Joanna smiled mischievously this time. She nudged three of her dorm mates then walked beside Brian with a hot fashion magazine in her hand.
"Ah, Mr. Brian. If you ask, surely you don't know what is viral right now. What we are talking about is this women's fashion magazine~" Joanna flaunted an eye-catching fashion magazine.
She thought Brian was approaching Elysia in a funny but silly way. What was currently booming would be liked by him, not the fashion magazine but the model girl.
"Ooh! Great! Miss Elysia, is that you? Classmate Joanna, let me borrow that women's fashion magazine for a moment. I don't want to miss the hot trends and news. Ahem, just for reference, nothing else." Brian was pleasantly surprised by the excitement, but he immediately cleared his throat to not look overly excited.
"Of course, and the only model in this fashion magazine is really Miss Elysia~"
After that, Brian received a fashion magazine with a beautiful girl with black hair and beautiful eyes as the cover. It was printed in extensive writing at the top with the name 'Starlight', the beauty of all types.
Brian nodded as if in agreement. His idol girl was indeed a beautiful girl of all types. Eh? not! She was the perfect girl and more than worthy of being a role model for girls! Brian wrestled with his own thoughts.
The girl on the cover was Elysia when she wore a pure white dress that symbolized purity, innocence, and happiness. She also had a happy expression on her face. The dress's underside flicked a little because of her movement, attractive pose, and perfect angles.
Just from the cover of the magazine published by Starlight Apparel, it had attracted a lot of attention from Brian despite his little knowledge about women's fashion. But it wasn't about fashion or anything, but for the model girl who seemed to smile at him.
Brian immediately opened the fashion magazine like a treasure trove with sparkling eyes, the first sheet of dresses by Rosa Willis. All models are only his idol girl! In a variety of beautiful and graceful dresses! Brian cheered in his mind.
The first sheet, second, third, right down to the last page... Brian immediately saw everything as if he had to print and engrave all the eye-catching images straight into his brain and memory.
"Uhh, amazing! Thank you for sharing, Classmate Joanna. You've done a great service, uhh..." Brian closed the fashion magazine with a smile, but he immediately covered his nose with his finger.
Right now, he had an impromptu blood rush, which prompted him to have a nosebleed. All the teasing poses of his idol girl were too much on his brain. Brian tried not to embarrass himself with a nosebleed.
"Hehe... Of course, I am happy to do a great service for certain circumstances. Shouldn't you need to congratulate Miss Elysia as well?" Joanna received the magazine back with a grin because her guess was right. Even Brian almost got a nosebleed just because of Elysia in this dress magazine.
Brian was very reluctant and felt lost when the magazine was no longer in his hands. Still, he was already planning to get a similar magazine this afternoon. He had to come and visit Starlight Apparel just for the sake of his idol girl photo album! Ahem, his idol girl fashion magazine! Brian immediately made up his mind.
David saw it all from his boss's side, and he just wryly smiled as if he knew what his boss was thinking right now. He was sure his boss would drag him to the women's clothing store this afternoon just to buy this fashion magazine.
"Of course, I will. Hold on a moment." Brian spoke in a slightly strange tone because the breath from his nose was deliberately blocked. He took a few deep breaths, then the urge to nosebleed had weakened a lot.
Brian walked over to Elysia, who seemed passively accepting congratulations from, perhaps, all of the students. Naturally, she must be tired because she needed to respond to all of that repeatedly.
"Congratulations to you, Miss Elysia. You are truly amazing as a fashion magazine model with all those beautiful and elegant dresses. It is only natural that the magazine has become popular. Rosa Willis is really great at marketing her products." Brian brushed his hand slowly, deep in his words.
"Congratulations, Miss Elysia. I believe the magazine is popular because of you. You become so popular and famous, and it will only be a matter of time until you become famous on the continent." David immediately congratulated Elysia right after his boss. He also felt happy for the achievement of his kind classmate.
"Ah, thank you for your congratulations, Mr. Brian and Mr. David. But if I might add, being famous on the continent is not a very good idea, and I'd rather not be given that high honor." Elysia smiled a little languidly. This was the umpteenth time she had received the congratulations in these tiring minutes.
She began to wish Teacher Ruth to come over to start the magic class soon, so she didn't need to respond with a smile or an expression of gratitude for the congratulations given to her by the students.
Elysia looked up at the clock on the wall near the exit, one minute before eight. Did Teacher Ruth come late on purpose? Would she arrive on time at eight o'clock?
Was all of this deliberately prepared by Teacher Ruth? Because the thing during the interrogation three days ago was considered ridiculous by her!? Elysia started to think about inconsequential things and bounced off the main route.
Brian and David just nodded in response to Elysia's comments. She was just humble.
At the same time, a group of people entered the training ground. Still, they were not the teacher but the students who were nearly late, so much to Elysia's disappointment.
Serena strutted as if everything was fine and normal. Her two maids followed behind her in a somewhat sluggish manner. Both of them looked like they were sleep-deprived.
Evelyn swiftly stood in front of Elysia when Serena arrived. She was like a mother hen protecting her chick from their natural evil enemy.
As for the natural evil enemy, she just looked away and joined Zofia Ward, the Viscount family's daughter from the same region as her.
Evelyn's impulsive behavior did not receive any strange attention. The students who realized it only thought it was a coincidence that she was standing in front of Elysia.
However, it wasn't for Brian and David, who was still beside the two girls. Brian raised his eyebrows, and David frowned. They somehow knew that something had happened between Elysia, Evelyn, and Serena, but it wasn't a peaceful thing.
Even so, Brian and David put that aside first because it wasn't their business to interfere if they didn't know, and it didn't happen in their presence. However, Brian noted a few things on his mind that need to be explored and monitored in the future.
At precisely eight o'clock, Teacher Ruth entered the training ground with two other teachers. Today, they would study magic with three teachers? That question arose in the minds of the 295 students who had attended the magic class's training ground, without exception.
"Hmm... Everyone is here, and none of the students are late, great. Good morning, all students. How about the process of familiarizing yourself with your magic energy using Hypmond's help? Did it go according to your expectations?" Teacher Ruth smiled with a happy nod after she reached the center of the field.
The students immediately formed neat lines at a certain distance as usual. When the teachers came to the center of the field, they were lined up neatly like they had been trained by guidance.
"We are quite familiar with our magical energy, ma'am!"
"I still feel complicated in controlling my magic energy even though Hypmond has helped a lot!"
"Easy as always, I'm talented!"
The students answered with a variety of answers. However, not all of them answered the pleasantries question. It was expected by the teachers because it was just pleasantries.
"Alright, for the magic class in this second meeting and so on, for the next four hours, I will be assisted by two shadow teachers. In this way, you will get an easier direction at a more efficient time." Teacher Ruth announced straight to the point.
"Hi, nice to meet all students. My name is Dottie. You can ask anything for all your difficulties in magic. We will work together to train you to become a great mage. So, for those who are still not proficient at using magic, don't be discouraged. You will be surprised for the next week to next month at your progress."
A woman in a teacher's uniform with a motherly face and a mole near her left eye introduced herself in a friendly manner, and there was a sense of kinship.
"Hello! Good morning, all students who are ready to gain knowledge. My name is Buddy, the most friendly teacher, and helpful person. Don't hesitate to share your troubles with me. There is no such thing as failure unless you are no longer trying."
A pleasant man with a slightly square face introduced himself with a cheerful expression full of support.
The two of them seemed to be giving the impression that they were kind neighbors who were happy to help.
As shadow teachers, Dottie and Buddy deliberately said that with support because some students who had not successfully executed their magic seemed to look down on their talents.
More than half of the first-year student reports indicated that they were not successful in executing magic properly. But that was still considered normal, and the shadow teacher would assist students with special needs in advanced special training.
