Teacher (2)

In an instant, she caught the hearts of the male students in the classroom. Her mesmerizing beauty enlivened the atmosphere of the classroom as looks of praises can be seen from the crowd's expressions.

Although she appeared to be almost middle-aged, her mature beauty was still enough to capture their gazes.

"Let's begin the class with an introduction. Everyone, please introduce yourselves in front by stating your name, classification, and hobbies. Let's start with... you" Isabel gently said as she pointed at the man in the front.

The man then stood and walked to the front and faced the students.

"I am Luke Walkman, fifth son of the-" the man said proudly but his words were cut off.

"I said name, classification, and hobbies. Nothing more, nothing less" Isabel said as a cold aura flared out from her body as she looked at Luke.

"Ahem... I am Luke Walkman, a fire mage. My hobbies are reading spell books" Luke said as he lowered his head before he sat down while gritting his teeth in humiliation.

'I'll remember this' Luke thought to himself as he clenched his fist.

"Alright, how about you?" Isabel said with a gentle voice as she pointed at the man next to Luke.

"Gil Traumm, a swordsman, and my hobby is swinging my sword"

"I'm Edwin, a wind mage and a spirit summoner. My hobby is talking with my summoned beast"

One by one, they introduced themselves in an orderly fashion until it was a certain red haired man's turn.

Isabel looked at the red haired man, indicating that it was his turn to introduce himself. However, he showed no response with his eyes glued on Isabel's figure.

"Simply gorgeous, just perfect" the red haired man murmured while looking at Isabel as he held his chin.

The crowd burst in laughter as they looked at the red haired man in amusement.

"What?" Isabel said, raising her eyebrow as she looked at the red haired man.

"Ahem, excuse me" the red haired man said as he cleared his throat.

Veins popped up from her forehead as she glared at the red haired man, waiting for him to introduce himself.

Seeing that Isabel's gaze never left the red haired man's figure, his face flushed as his lips curled up to an embarrassed smile.

'She's still looking at me... could it be-?" the red haired man thought to himself.

He then stood up and walked to the front.

It was then that he faced Isabel and held her right hand.

"Miss, you look so gorgeous. I hope you're still single? If so, let me take you out for dinner tonight" the red haired man said with a gentle voice as his face closed in on Isabel.

"Wha- What do you think you're doing!? I-introduce yourself!" Isabel said as a flush crept up her face. She hurriedly removed his hand and stepped backwards.

"Ah, forgive me. Lyon Moria is the name" the red haired man said with elegance in his tone while smiling.

Her right eye twitched as veins continued popping from her forehead.

"Classification, and hobby!!" Isabel yelled.

"Oh, I see you want to know more about me. I'm a lightning mage and my hobby is reading novels" Lyon replied with a smile.

"Kyaaah!"

"Oh my god, he's done it!"

'That guy, he's the man with the lightning affinity and the same mana capacity as me. He's just as young as me but he's already this simp.' Rick thought to himself as he recalled the entrance examinations.

"Enough! Back to your seat" Isabel yelled as she pointed at Lyon''s seat.

'Damn. What's going on with me all of a sudden? Calm down, me' Lyon thought to himself as he made his way to his seat.

"Introduction is over. Today, we will be doing exercises. Follow me to the training fields" Isabel said as she turned her head and hurriedly walked away.

"Eeeeeh? I haven't even introduced myself" a white haired male student said.

The students then lined up in an orderly fashion as they followed Isabel.

"That guy was amazing, I wish I had balls like him" Danny said while walking.

"I'm telling you, that guy must have a secret affinity for metal" Rick replied.

"Huh? Why?" Danny asked.

"How would you explain his balls of steel?" Rick replied with a serious expression on his face.

Danny chuckled at Rick's words.

"Though he's a Simplord, he does have balls of steel indeed, even at the cost of his dignity" Rick added.

"Simplord?" a green haired man behind Rick interjected.

"A foolish man who shows excessive sympathy and attention to a woman who does not reciprocate the same feelings" Rick replied with an as a matter of fact expression on his face.

It was then that Lyon gained the nickname "Lightning Simplord" in the academy.

...

Shortly afterwards, they arrived at the training fields. There were a bunch of white lines on the ground to indicate spacing. They looked around and saw a few figures in red uniform.

From the looks of it, they appeared to be sparring with each other for training.

The training fields were actually large enough to accommodate all the students of the academy at the same time and still have enough space for mock battles.

In addition, this was only the training fields of the west wing. There are still other training fields in the academy.

"As expected of the only academy of Hakono City." Rick remarked as he looked at the surroundings.

"Before we begin the training exercises, let's do some warm-up. Everyone, please run three laps around the training field" Isabel said with a smile.

"But I'm supposed to be a long-range specialist mage." the black haired girl complained.

"You do know of the glaring weakness of a long-range specialist right? Your future opponents know that too and they would be happy to exploit it" Isabel replied.

"Ugh. I can't do this" the black haired girl muttered with a helpless look on her face.

"For love, I will run ten laps for you, Miss Isabel!" Lyon shouted as he rushed forward with burning passion.

"As expected, he's a simplord indeed" Danny commented as he touched his glasses.

'I take everything back, this class should be fun' Rick thought to himself as his lips curled up to a faint smile.
