Chapter 23 - Disparity in popularity
Another day's class.
I came to the classroom with Norman.
Then the students called out to me.
"Kaizer-sensei, thank you so much for yesterday's explaining! I can understand it properly!"
"The fire magic you taught me, I showed it to my father, and he was surprised. He said that it would be a good idea for me to be the heir. The eldest son, who's been acting so great all this time, looked so frustrated."
"Ever since Kaizer-sensei taught me the trick to water magic, I've been able to release Water Splash stably!"
After the first day, I didn't take charge of classes. Instead, I was taking questions from students during recess and after school.
"Hey! Recess is over! Be quiet!"
Norman tapped the teaching table in irritation.
Then, Norman said, clearing his throat.
"Now let's start the lesson."
"Eh. Why's Norman-sensei...."
"Kaizer-sensei's class is easier to understand and more fun."
"I want to ask more questions, though."
"YOU ALL..."
Norman ranted as he watched the students. The wooden stick clutched in his hand cracked.
"W, well, it's enough. I'm sure they don't mean to offend you."
I tried to quiet him somehow.
"You mean, it'd not have a problem as long as I didn't take offense!"
Norman shouted and gave me a glare full of hostility.
"Kaizer, you may be somewhat skilled at teaching. But, don't get carried away. I am a much better wizard than you. As a graduate of a magic academy, there is no way I'm inferior to a country wizard like you."
........Uwaa.
I got an insanely hostility.
?
After the class was over, students came running up to me.
They asked me one question after another.
"Kaizer-sensei. It's about the chanting method..."
"The magical syntax of Flame Lance. There are parts that could be improved. I'd love to hear your opinion on it."
"Where did you learn magic, Kaizer-sensei?"
"Papa~. Stop being so busy with everyone and pay attention to me. I'm gonna die if we're not making out with each other~."
"Come on. You guys can't come all at once."
It was very good that they were willing to learn.
But I was only one person, so I couldn't deal with a bunch of people at the same time. No matter how I look at it, supply and demand were out of balance.
"Can't be helped. I'll listen for you."
Norman said as he pushed up his glasses with his finger.
""..........""
The students looked at each other.
""Nope. I'm fine.""
They refused, as if it was obvious.
"Oi! Why?!"
"Because Norman-sensei is so hard on us. When we go to ask questions, you look down on us and say, 'Really. You can't even understand this small stuff?'."
"You talk as if you're superior to us all the time..."
"Your explanation is hard to understand."
"In that respect, Kaizer-sensei doesn't look down on us, and his teaching style is easy to understand."
"Ugh...!"
Norman opened his eyes widely and gritted his teeth.
"Ara. It seems to be quite lively here."
It was Irene, who was in charge of the next class, walked into the classroom. She was an intelligent, beautiful, spectacled teacher with her hair pulled up in a bun.
"Irene-sensei. How, how, you're looked beautiful today."
When Norman looked Irene, he mended his expression and greeted her reverently.
He then added with a grin smile.
"How's that? How about we have dinner tonight. I'll tell you a story about the time I was top of my class at the magic academy."
"I'm sorry. I don't think I can."
Irene easily rejected Norman's invitation and??
"Kaizer-sensei. Aren't you very popular?"
"Is that so?"
"Eee. There's a lot of talk about you in the academy, you know. Kaizer-sensei's teaching style is very good. I'd love to be able to watch one of your classes next time."
"Please do," I responded.
"Oh right, Kaizer-sensei. Would you like to have dinner with me? I'd like to talk to the lecturer in question in detail once."
"Wha...?"
It was Norman.
'Wh, why! With such a third-rate bumpkin wizard! You won't gain a single thing by talking to such a man like him!"
"Is it right? I'm sure I'll have a much more meaningful time than having to listen to Norman-sensei's boastful story."
Irene cut off Norman's words coldly and??'
"Kaizer-sensei. How about it?"
"After I made the girls' dinner."
"Fufufu. I'm looking forward to it."
"Ugh...!"
Norman was letting out a moan as he watched me and Irene chatting. He was boiling with anger to the point as if his veins were about to break.
And finally, he couldn't bear it anymore??.
"Kaizer!! Have a match with me!"
He shouted loudly without hesitation.
"??Pardon? A match?"
"You're being carried away for being a better lecturer. We'll make it clear which one of us is the better wizard!"
"We don't have to do it........ It's fine if Norman-sensei is superior. I don't care about rank or anything."
"No! Even if you don't care, I do! We must make it clear to those around!"
Norman seemed to have completely lost his mind.
It might be unbearable that the attention of his students and Irene turned to me, a mere part-time instructor who is not a graduate of this magic academy.
"Umm, Kaizer-sensei. Can you accept it?"
Irene said.
"Once it's clear of who's actually better, you'll be free from such a meaningless dispute."
I see.
That might be it.
"It's been so long since I've seen Papa's magic, I want to see?."
Meryl hugged my arms and begged.
..........I was so weak when my daughter begged.
"Alright. Let's have a match."
"Funn. Be prepared. Kaiser. This's the last time you can stay cool. I'll show you the disparity between us."
