The Demon Saint is Missing, so I Ran to Another World

A Desperate Plea for Help (Part 2)

Anyway, returning to my present classroom, my students stood up and said their farewells to me, just as I encouraged them to take their well-deserved breaks. However, the moment I exited the door...

"..."

"..."

I turned and asked the three demon students who went out of the classroom and closely followed me, "Uh...can you guys tell me why are you following me? Isn't it forbidden for you to come out, unless it's lunch?"

"What are you saying, Sir?" one of them, Lady Srexe, the goblin girl who challenged me to a duel before, countered. "It's not like we came out and followed you on our whims."

"Ha?"

"You said it before; did you forget?" she countered. "You're going to talk to me after class about helping me!"

"No, I did not say that. What I told you is that we're going to talk about your situation once I have no class and other paper works. Also, what are these other two doing with you?"

"Let Tama'lee explain, Sir!" the tall, blond, and well-toned orc lady, Tama'lee, interjected. "Tama'lee, Srexe and Nari...we failed the Special Scholar's test!"

"Oh...so you guys are those three who got the low scores?"

"Yes," the werewolf girl, Nari, curtly answered. "Us three. Teach us."

"Ugh! It's Srexe's fault, Sir!" Tama'lee cried out, "Srexe keeps on bugging Tama'lee and Nari while taking the exams!"

The goblin girl rebuked, "I did not! Can you shut your mouth just for once, you behemoth!"

"Ah, it's fine," I reassured them. "It's part of learning, see? Sometimes, you pass; sometimes, you fail. It's just a mini-quiz anyway, you know? Just do better next time!"

"Tch. You don't understand, do you, human?" Lady Srexe never hid her irritation, not only from her voice, but also on how she conducted herself before me. I could tell that even though I soundly defeated her in the duel before, she still held me in contempt. "I might've lost to you before, but this test is...life and death for us, see?"

"What are you saying?" I couldn't help but get confused on what the goblin girl was telling me.

"Nevermind what Srexe is babbling about, Special Scholar Sir!" the orc girl replied. "If Srexe doesn't want 'ya, at least, Tama'lee and Nari want the Special Scholar to teach them."

"Did I say I don't want him, orc?" Lady Srexe snapped at her.

"So Srex wants the Special Scholar now?"

"Didn't you hear me earlier?" the goblin girl's voice was getting louder. "Of course, I want him to teach me about Lady Cassandra's history and help me pass! How can that happen if I don't like him to do it?"

"Oi," I interjected, annoyed, "you can hide your real thoughts, you know?"

"For what?" Lady Srexe asked.

It seemed like this goblin wasn't aware of human 'sensitivities'. Well, in any case, I was glad that she speaking out her mind; I could deal with her easily.

"Ha? You want special lessons?" Well, let me be clear on this one. While they always say that it was a teacher's 'wet dream' to have students who would run after them to ask for supplementary lessons, I was not one of them. For me, a study session was for studying, and a break was for...well, resting. I love to teach, but if it invades my private time, I'd pick up a gun and rebel.

Of course, that's just an overstatement. I just hate it when my 'break' is infringed upon.

"Isn't that your job?" Lady Srexe sharply countered. "And you did say you're going to help!"
