Ever since he had sent his daughter out to this academy many moons ago, Klaus has had selfish wishes for himself to go there as well. There was something comforting knowing your child was in a safe environment, but that sense of comfort expanded in tenfold while he knew he could be around
Not that he doubted that Minori couldn’t defend herself, or stand her own ground- for he taught her many ways of self defense and told her to never give into pressure and stray from her own path. Klaus was well aware she grew up to become her own person and he was awfully proud of his cub, if there was anything he had done right in his life-- it was her.
Naturally he felt a lot of remorse for always being a spotty existence in her life, and had spent every lulled moment he had thinking if she ever resented him for that. The man knew he wasn’t the best father in the world, but he knew that he would do everything in his power to be better than his own.
So when Mr. Fitzgerald was presented with the opportunity to teach at the academy, after many years of travels and practice- he was personally elated by the news of it. He wanted to tell his daughter himself once he had finished his classes for the day, a nice surprise- perhaps take her out for ice cream or anything. Maybe show her his condo, anything- just anything. It almost feels like he was given a second chance and he wanted to make the best of it. Naturally respecting any space she may need though.
It was the third class of the day and Klaus was doing his all-too-well rehearsed lectures and formalities for this group of students. Told what the students needed to know about himself, and what he will be teaching for the year. Mr. Fitzgerald decided to make things into a game while his students introduced themselves. Learnt about some of their hobbies, what they like doing and--he noticed there was a student in the back not really paying attention. There was a sense of familiarity with her, until he took a second glance and it nearly stopped him in his tracks.
“ Minori?”
Doesn’t this school realize that he’s her father? Perhaps it was an easy error to have done that, considering they both have different last names and all. He was pleasantly surprised that she was here, but already knew that he couldn’t just play favorites in the classroom. Even if it were his daughter.
