At that moment… Yuu wanted to cry.
They weren't tears of joy or sadness, but tears that cursed his fate.
He knew the identity he had usurped was that of a teacher, and therefore he knew he would have students, young people from all over Twisted Wonderland, very proud of their magic.
But that wasn't the problem.
To be honest, he hoped he wouldn't have so many students; it would make his job easier and help him avoid being discovered, since teaching first- and second-year students was one thing, but teaching third-year students was something else entirely.
Teaching third-year students wouldn't be a problem if he didn't have the real heavyweights in his class.
The famous model and actor Vil Schoenheit
The second prince of Sunset Savannah, Leona Kingscholar
Idia Shroud, belonging to "THAT" Shroud family. Lilia Vanrouge, former soldier and guard of the Draconians.
And the future prince of the Valley of Thorns, Malleus Draconia.
Yuu felt like crying when he saw their last names on the list for the first time.
"I worked for some families at least once or three times."
Yuu never used his real name, much less revealed his true face; with each job, a new identity, a new face. He had been very careful in that regard.
Until the train accident.
Now, even though he had another identity, what everyone at that school saw was his true face.
"Sometimes you're not careful enough."
He could only sigh in resignation. Because of that "incident"
in Vil's case, he isn't worried, as he hasn't interacted with anyone in his family.
"Messing with celebrities is very troublesome."
But on the other hand, the Shroud and Kingscholar families were once major contractors.
As for the draconian, he has never worked for them, as it is well known that the dark fairies hate humans because of that war.
His problem wasn't Malleus's family, but the fairies themselves.
A fairy's lifespan is relatively long; if fairies didn't hate humans, they'd be in trouble, since, in their short lives, crossing paths with one could be a big problem.
"Since he can recognize me."
Even if he used a different name, a different face, each person's magical power is distinct, unique. Not all fairies have the affinity to recognize who has magic and who doesn't.
Yuu has never been in contact with the Draconia family or any fairies, so he shouldn't have any problems.
Yuu noticed Lilia's smile, though it was an ambiguous one.
— I recommend you stop doing that, Vanrouge.
— Boo! It's very hard to scare the teacher.
He said sadly as he disappeared and reappeared in his seat, though his sadness quickly faded, and he smiled amusedly again.
"He not in my class again."
—Leona Kingscholar? — Crewel asked.
Yuu was in the cafeteria, eating with the other teachers at the tables outside.
Second son of the King of the Sunset Savannah, a prince in short. His older brother is the current king of his lands because their father is very ill.
"I did a job for his father a while back."
— Don't be mad, Professor Yuu. — he said Trein. — It'll just make your blood sugar go up."
— Ha, isn't it just you, Professor Trein? — Crewell asked sarcastically.
— What did Professor Crewell say?"
— There they go again. — Professor Vargas said with a sigh. — Anyway, Professor Yuu, you should know that Kingscholar is famous for skipping class."
— He's repeating a year. — Sam added. — From what my friends from beyond the grave know, he seems very disinterested in graduating; in class, he's always looking for a place to sleep.
—Kingscholar is considered the best in the Ancient Magic class. — Crewle said. — He's smart, a born leader, he admits, though he's lazy. He wastes talent; Ancient Magic isn't something anyone can pass with 100 perfect points."
"Oh, they stopped fighting."
— And why is he repeating a year?
Yuu could only sigh and continue eating.
— By the way. — Sam said. — How are some of the imps doing? I heard there have been several accidents.
— Many are in the infirmary. — Trein said, petting his cat. — Some had to share a bed because space is running out.
—The Magic shift tournament is coming up, and the students are getting careless. — Vargas said angrily.
Now that Yuu thinks about it, Nightcrow Academy has been losing to the Royal Sword Academy for 99 years.
Yuu thought as he walked through the hallways.
He was on the third floor, ready for his next third-year class, when in the distance he saw two familiar students.
The leader and vice-leader of Heartslabyul.
— I'll be a little late, go practice for the Magic shift Tournament.
— Then I'll leave it to you.
Everything seemed peaceful, until suddenly Riddle…stumbled.
Due to their proximity, Clover covered Rosehearts with her body. And they both tumbled down the stairs.
Trey felt a stabbing pain in his ankle, but what he was most concerned about was keeping Riddle from hurting himself.
He closed his eyes and hugged Riddle tightly, waiting for his head to hit the ground… A blow that never came.
Like Riddle, he was floating; he was inches above the ground, and at the top of the stairs was his teacher.
Pointing his staff at them, he could see the glow of his magic emanate and surround them.
Damn, I didn't react in time!
Yuu managed to avoid falling, but he was distracted, not by a fly or anything like that.
It was because in the distance, he spotted another group, a group he hadn't seen until Riddle and Trey fell forward.
They were students easy to recognize by their beastmen features.
That wouldn't seem suspicious at first glance; there could be groups of students anywhere on campus.
However, what was suspicious was the moment they saw him. It was a quick glance, but he managed to see those students smiling at Rosehearts' fall, strangely calm. But upon noticing his presence A TEACHER their expressions quickly changed to surprise, and they all ran away.
He wanted to stop them, but he knew Trey would soon hit his head on the floor, so he did what he had to do as a teacher: protect his student.
He ran with Trey in his arms toward the infirmary, followed by Rosehearts.
— How embarrassing. — Clover said, blushing slightly as her teacher carried her like a princess.
— This isn't the time to think about that, Trey! — Riddle scolded.
As he entered the infirmary, Yuu recalled the teachers' conversation that afternoon.
"How are some of the imps? I heard there have been several accidents."
"Many are in the infirmary. Some had to share a bed because space is scarce." Several students, from all dorms, were in different beds, all due to numerous "accidents."
Here we are, with one more chapter.
I saw that many of you liked the prologue and the first part. So we'll continue with this thread where Yuu is a teacher.
Sorry for the delay, but let's just say that creating good chapters takes time. I just couldn't find the inspiration. BUT HERE WE ARE!!
Let's see how long it takes me to do the other part. Hehehe
I also want to develop the students' relationships with their teacher. I want it to be something natural, so I'll see how I do it, because love isn't one of my strong points.
Possibly in the following chapters we'll see their OTHER IDENTITIES.
