Episode 303 Chapter 55: A New Professor (6)

A New Professor (6)

A competent professor teaches well.

But what constitutes 'teaching well'? Ideally, it would be great to base it on how much students' grades improve after taking a course. Unfortunately, in modern times, this isn't the case.

A popular class.

A popular professor.

A professor who captivates students with eloquence, making them eager to attend the next class... we call such a popular professor 'a good teacher.'

Professor Scarlett, who garnered a huge response from students as soon as she arrived at Stella, naturally earned the reputation of being a popular and thus well-teaching professor. As a result, students who only took the 'Countering Dark Magic' class once a week started attending two or three times, making her classes overwhelmingly full every day.

"Professor Scarlett, have you considered increasing your class hours?"

A member of Stella's Special Magic Education Research Institute and a board member visited Scarlett in her private research lab.

"More classes? I'm already so exhausted～"

Hearing her childish tone and seeing her behavior, which lacked the dignity expected of a professor at Stella, the board member frowned slightly but smiled, knowing they couldn't afford to lose someone of Scarlett's caliber.

"Ha ha ha. I'm sure someone like you can handle it. I've attended your classes myself. You seem to truly care about your students. We're prepared to offer you substantial compensation and abundant opportunities in return."

"Hmm~ compensation?"

"Yes, like this."

When the professor handed her a document, Scarlett manipulated it telekinetically, bringing it to her with a wave of her lollipop.

[Special Committee for Countering Dark Magic]

"As you know, the dark magic of dark mages has reached a level comparable to ours. The principal has therefore established a new institution and believes it necessary to invite experts in dark magic."

Unable to contain herself, Scarlett burst out laughing, causing the professor to frown. Did he know the reason why Elteman Elterwin created such a special institution to research dark magic... was because of witches like herself?

And now, they were inviting her to that institution? How ridiculous and ironic!

"Do you find this amusing?"

"Hmm? No, no! I just admire the effort～! I'm sorry, but I don't think I can. If I get caught doing this, they'll be furious. Joining that institution? Oh~ it's horrifying just thinking about it～"

With an exaggerated shiver, Scarlett winked at him.

"Take care on your way out!"

"Uh, uh?!"

As she waved her lollipop, the professor was magically pushed out of the lab, and the door closed.

Outside, he seemed to be knocking and shouting, but no sound reached her since she had soundproofed the room.

"Ha... humans are so foolish and amusing."

She leaned back in an adult-sized chair much larger than herself and looked out the window.

Humans. Humans. Humans.

Everywhere she looked, there were humans.

To her, humans were just like ants on the street... no, that's too low. Puppies were a better comparison.
