Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline-Chapter 212 Basics of Skill application

[Nes's POV: ]

"Good, good. Looks like we are finished with the introductions here."

The teacher nodded at the class and took out a small pocket watch from his side pocket, checked the time, and nodded with a positive expression.

"We still have time, so why don't we talk about something? Does anyone have any suggestions on what topic we should talk about?" He asked the students with a positive smirk on his face and then moved his eyes across the classroom, looking at a few people present in the eyes for a moment, including me.

'His gaze felt very… strange to me. It was just like how El looks at us sometimes. As if she can see everything there is about me.'

However, this one was a little different.

It wasn't as deep as El's but almost as if he could see some of the things about me, but not as much as El can. And, considering how he was a class teacher at this academy, he is supposed to be the best in his field.

'Does that mean El is better than even someone like him?'

I wouldn't be surprised if she is more amazing than this person I can feel a great deal of spirit power from. It was the most dense I had ever felt around anyone else.

[[ Master! Master~. This mister smells attractive! ]]

Even Ethan was attracted to him, so, he obviously had the most special affinity with the spirits I have ever felt here. And still, someone like him was not on par was El in something.

Just that much made super, super extra special!

"Ho? We have quite enthusiastic people this time around, hun? Alright then."

Many people were raising their hands to offer their suggestions on what we should do right now and the teacher was impressed by the response of the students.

"Miss?"

"Yes sir. How about you teach us about how you can control so many spirits or how you made contracts with higher-grade spirits."

"Hmmm. Good suggestion."

Making a contract with a spirit was the same as making a familiar contract, just that every type of summon was a different entity so the process itself differed a little.

'When we want to make a creature, or an energy beast as everyone here calls them, our summoned creature, a particular understanding of (Summoning magic) is required along with special skills that can allow one to form the contract itself.

And, when it comes to higher-level spirits, one has to figure out the method through self-realization after years of study by themselves.

"You, the one in the back?"

"Sir! How about we talk about the utilization of spirit powers in the weapon arts?"

The boy in the back shouted loudly and, the look on the teacher's face became bitter for a moment as if he didn't like that loud voice, and, every one of us who saw this gasped in fear.

'He is courting punishment!'

Everyone who got late was in the class but they received a heavy punishment.

They all had to write a derived formula for some complex magic circles that the teacher gave them himself, and, in no way those things were something one could finish in a day!

Even I would need hours to solve even one of those things!

'Everyone knew just how bad it was to anger this teacher, but that person was doing it anyway?! What kind of madman was he?!'

Some of the other students turned around to look at him, and he seemed to have realized his mistake so, he apologized to the teacher in a very low voice. So low it didn't even reach all the way in the front.

"I can hear you all just fine so there is no need to shout. And Mister Smith, be careful next time."

The boy frantically nodded his head and sat down with a bow… the teacher was a little scary.

"Miss in the right."

"Yes-"

"Not you. The one behind you."

"H-hmm? M-me?" 𝑓𝑟𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝑏𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Yes. You are in the class, you heard the question, and I am asking you for an answer. I expect something at the very least."

This time, he was asking someone who wasn't even raising their hands! What the hack?!

'He is really scary! Scarrrrrrry!'

[[ Master~. Master~. This is fun~. How about you answer as well~. Hehehe, master~! Answer! ]]

[[ "No! Ethan! No! What if he doesn't like my answer?!" ]]

[[ We don't know that, hehe. How about we try and find out~. Hehehe. Master~. Please raise your hand~. ]]

This child… why is so excited all the time?!

"Ummm… ehh… then, can you tell us about… about spirit energy! Yes!"

That girl definitely wasn't even thinking of what to say but perhaps this thing that suddenly came to her mind saved her.

'Huuuu, good.'

She was short in height, had pink hair that covered her eyes, and looked younger than us, but, if she was here, she certainly wasn't as young as she looked. If anything, she must be older than her looks, like the elves.

But, I could feel a pretty powerful holy energy from her so, she seemed to be a priest or something.

"Ah, Spirit power. That is a good idea as well."

She hurriedly sat down and hid behind the person beside her, surprising the attractive boy in the fashionable suit.

El perhaps knew that boy in the suit since they had talked before the teacher came, but, I don't know him yet.

"Miss Auriel? Any suggestions?"

The teacher then looked at the very back on the left side of the room, at El, and almost everyone in the classroom looked back at the two of them… and, they were doing something in Brother Lucy's notebook.

"Hmmm? Yes, teacher?"

It was clear neither of them was paying any attention to him… those dummies!

They should at least pay attention in class if they are in the class! How are they just relaxing there, doing whatever they were doing?!

"I asked everyone a question."

"Yes? And?"

"Do you have suggestions you would like to share?"

"Hmm? Me? Truthfully, I don't."

…

El?!

"What… do you mean by that, miss?"

"Hmmm? Mister, you are the teacher. Whatever you teach, we learn. What would our innocent suggestion affect you? Aren't you gonna just teach what you wanna teach one way or another?"

Elllll!

'This girl! Unreliable!'

She was giving me a heart attack already! And the first class of the day hasn't even ended yet!

"Well, you are correct by your reasoning, however, still. Don't you have any suggestions?"

The teacher's eyebrows were twitching, he had an obviously angry expression that he was trying his best to control, and, the air around him seemed to have gotten hotter. I could feel it even though I was sitting in the third column.

This is bad!

"Ummm, well, teacher… it's the first class and there's not much time left to cover the topics the others mentioned, so how about you just tell them something about skills?"

She was speaking to him even without standing up from her place, and the way she was answering clearly showed just how little she cared about all that was happening here!

This unbelievable girl!!!

"…skills? Ah, right. We should talk about the application of the different skills that we all have~."

…

'It worked?'

Her casual answer seemed to be more effective on the teacher than any other answers he had received until now, and… this was good.

'That was a scary one!'

Not just I but many of the students in the class were gravely worried about what would happen when she talked with the teacher like that, and all of us were also suddenly confused about how that causal-sounding answer impressed the teacher so much he practically started glowing.

'She is unbelievable, haaaa…'

But thankfully, no one got punished.

'It was sad that others got punished just because they got late. It was sad… I should see if I can help them in some way later.'

El had almost made a mess and made others worry like that, she is a bad girl! Hump!

Our talk is going to be longer now!

"Alright students, let's talk about the application of Skills then~."

The teacher seemed to be happy now that he had received the topic he could talk about, and, for some reason, he was a little more excited than earlier as well.

'Auriel fever. Her charm looks to have worked on him as well, huaaah.'

She was doing something else with brother Lucy instead of paying attention, she wasn't showing the basic manners to the homeroom teacher, and she was talking as if he was her long-time acquaintance.

It was typical El behavior and the class teacher was still impressed, how great~. Now that he has his teaching topic, no one has to worry about it~.

"What are these unique powers that all of us possess in one way or another, or, even if we do not possess them naturally, we obtain them during the course of our lives?

What are skills?

What about the unique innate skills?

And, do you know that there are various types and kinds of these skills and their classifications?

And most importantly students, do you know the application of a simple [Rank-1] skill like [Illuminate]… "

A small ball of light appeared on the teacher's palm as all of the students gasped in surprise at his sudden tsunami of questions.

"…can also change into something resembling [Rank-2] and beyond?"

And, as soon as the ball of light in his hand flew up towards the ceiling, it expanded in size, and got divided into many lights of different colors that started circling all around the room, the gasp of surprise we had just had, was overshadowed by our gasps of awe…
