Chapter 23: Magic Theory Teacher, Ryan.

It was in a classroom of the Alcot Academy teaching building where Nanali was present.

As the bells rang throughout Alcot Academy, it signaled the end of the morning’s first class.

At that moment the teacher’s podium at the front of the classroom stood empty, yet none of the students moved and each sat upright in their seats.

Nothing else was the reason; it was simply because Professor Rowan had just announced that a highly accomplished senior mage would be coming to teach them magical theory this afternoon.

Professor Rowan had also moved to the back of the room, holding a small notebook to take notes.

The students were all very curious what kind of person could receive such respect from Art City’s top magic teacher, Professor Rowan.

Could it be a legendary mage who lived in seclusion among the common folk?

Or was it a hereditary mage serving some noble family, or perhaps a court wizard from the royal palace?

They assumed it must be an old man with a white beard.

The students were full of anticipation but dared not whisper among themselves.

After all, this was a mage whom even Professor Rowan greatly respected!

Soon the classroom door was pushed open and a figure strode onto the podium.

To everyone’s surprise, the person appeared to be very young!

Was this the great mage whom even Professor Rowan would show deference to?

After stepping onto the podium, Ryan glanced around at the students in the classroom.

Although the classroom was fairly spacious, there were only about thirty students, all around eight or nine years old.

After all, the daughters of noble families were not as common as cabbage, and not every noble lady would attend Alcot Academy.

Besides, Alcot Academy had more than one classroom.

Moreover, there could also be students like Amia who did not need to attend classes…

Hmm… Why was Rowan sitting at the back? Judging by that posture, she seemed to want to listen to my lecture?

As he scanned the classroom, Ryan realized there were quite a few students who left a memorable impression.

One little girl with golden hair tied in a single ponytail was silently polishing a knight’s longsword that seemed incongruous with her small frame, and Ryan could actually see a hint of knightly spirit on her youthful face.

There was also a little girl with white hair and red eyes wearing an Alcot Academy uniform, a slender black tail swinging behind her with its tip shaped like a triangle.

Was she from the demon race?

Noticing Ryan’s gaze, the demon race girl playfully stuck out her pink tongue at him.

And in the corner… there was an orange-haired little girl with fluffy beast ears, though Ryan couldn’t see her face because she was lying asleep on her desk, her ears twitching like a cat’s.

So there was a beast kin as well.

Unfortunately Ryan did not see any elves there, though it made sense since elves did not need to take magic classes.

Skipping over the beast kin girl, Ryan finally spotted Nanali in the corner and met her gaze.

After giving Nanali a reassuring look, Ryan formally began his self-introduction:

“Let me introduce myself: my name is Ryan, and I am the Butler of the Axi family.”

When they heard Ryan introduce himself as the Butler of the Axi family, Professor Rowan in the back clearly paused in surprise, and Nanali’s gem-like eyes widened.

None of them had expected Ryan to reveal his identity right away!

How could he possibly keep those pampered noble ladies in line now?

Sure enough, after Ryan announced his identity, the noble daughters froze as if they had misheard.

They had been told that a mage of exceptional mastery would arrive, yet it turned out to be just a minor butler from the Count’s household?

What a joke!

Just as the students were about to hiss in disapproval, Ryan suddenly gave a faint smile and snapped his fingers.

“Snap!”

“Roar!!”

With the sound of his snap, a twin-winged dragon formed from flames appeared in front of Ryan and began to circle along the classroom ceiling.

The temperature in the classroom seemed to rise instantly.

Seeing this, the girls immediately swallowed their boos and dared not make a sound.

The reactions of the few girls Ryan had noticed earlier were equally striking.

The knight girl looked at the flying dragon overhead and quietly gripped the hilt of her longsword, her eyes shining with battle intent and ready to strike.

The demon race girl propped her chin on her hand and watched the dragon above her with great interest, as if she were observing an animal at the zoo.

The beast kin girl… upon hearing the dragon’s roar, she was immediately awakened and, seeing the twin-winged dragon, her fur bristled as she flattened herself on the desk, emitting a low growl.

However, most of the little girls were still frightened by the twin-winged dragon.

Rowan looked up at the circling dragon, her mouth slightly agape.

Wouldn’t being struck by something like this be fatal?

Although Rowan had guessed that Ryan’s magic prowess was formidable, seeing it with her own eyes still felt unbelievable.

In Nanali’s eyes, a spark of excitement flickered at the thought that, according to Ryan, if she studied magic diligently, she would eventually be able to summon such a dragon herself!

After ensuring the girls were all subdued, Ryan snapped his fingers again, causing the circling dragon to dissipate and transform into a swarm of fire butterflies that fluttered out the window.

The entire display was like a grand visual performance that left a lasting impression.

At that moment, Ryan continued: “Today, I have come to teach you magical theory.”

With that, Ryan picked up a piece of chalk and wrote the two characters for ‘magic’ on the blackboard behind him in the Hedley Empire script.

It was undeniable that Ryan’s world and the one the Transmigrator came from were very similar, with teachers using chalk on blackboards to teach and students each having their own desk and chair.

“As everyone knows, the position of mage has many branches; does anyone know what they are?”

“……”

The little girls remained silent, not out of disrespect but because they were still reeling from the earlier shock and had not recovered.

“I know, I know!”

The little girls stayed quiet, but Rowan in the back excitedly raised her hand like a child eager to answer:

“There are magic teachers, priests, and wizards!”

… Don’t you really find that embarrassing?

Although he felt somewhat embarrassed by Rowan’s display, Ryan forced a smile and nodded as he said:

“Well answered! Magic teachers, priests, and wizards are indeed the most common branches of mages, but in fact, the branches are not limited to these.”

With that, Ryan continued writing on the blackboard with his chalk.
