“A-Ah, sure. Come to my office, I will help you if I can.”
Although she was confused about how Nux did it so quickly, Teacher Evan quickly came out of her reverie and nodded.
It doesn’t matter how he did it, rather, it is a good thing that he is talented,
Her student achieving higher heights is something that will fill her heart with happiness.
Of course, she knows that someone as talented as Nux won’t remain her student for long but she would still feel satisfied as long as she had a ‘hand’ in his growth.
“Alright, thank you very much, Teacher Evane.” Nux boomed in joy and just as he was about to follow Teacher Evane, a boy stood up.
“Teacher Evane, I am also facing some difficulties with Fire Burst Skill, I would like to come with Nux and learn from you as well.”
Nux turned towards the boy and noticed that the boy was looking at him with narrowed eyes.
His expression was clear,
‘You bastard, you already live in the room right next to hers, now you even dare to spend some time alone with her in her office!? Over my dead body!’
Nux’s mouth twitched in annoyance.
There are really too many hindrances in this class.
Soon, however, a small smile appeared on his face and he countered,
“Ahh, David, you know, the thing is, I only got this Skill 2 days ago, you have been here for a long time now, it is obvious that your mastery over the Skill would be a lot better than mine.
I don’t think this session will help you in any way.
I suggest you go to teacher Evane tomorrow or any other day.”
The boy named David smiled as well,
“Ah, no, no, that can’t be true. I am not very good with this Skill either, also, I have seen you use this technique yesterday, I am pretty sure you are around my level.
So I am sure this session with helping me a lot, don’t worry about it.”
His smile widened when he completed his sentence.
‘How is that sucker!? You think you can send me away!?’
David was sure that Nux had no way to reject him now.
Of course, what he didn’t know was that he was against someone who has never lost a battle of words.
“Oh, c’mon David, you don’t have to act so humble in front of me.
You aren’t saying that you, who have been training and learning this skill for so many years now, have the same level of mastery as someone like me, who only got this skill 2 days ago, are you?”
Then, Nux’s smile widened as he questioned,
“You can’t be that big of a trash, can you?”
David’s mouth twitched in annoyance when he heard those words.
‘T-This bastard…’
“Of course, you aren’t that bad, right, David?” Nux smiled even more.
“Y-Yeah… I guess I should stop being humble… Teacher Evane, since Classmate Nux was the first one to ask you, I will back off today and will ask my questions at a later date.”
David turned towards Teacher Evane and forced a smile.
Then, he glanced at Nux and snorted in frustration.
That bastard was really too good with words!
‘Tsk Tsk! Hateful man!’
The last thing he can do is admit that he was trash.
His life would become a living hell if he does that.
In the end, David just sat down on his seat with a dejected look on his face.
Nux smiled and then he walked towards Teacher Evane and smiled,
“Teacher Evane, I will be following you then,”
“Alright.” Teacher Evane smiled and under David’s jealous gaze, Nux and Teacher Evane left the classroom.
…
“Nux…” As the two of them entered Teacher Evane’s office, she muttered.
“Yes, what is it, Teacher Evane?”
“Thank you for standing up for me today.” Teacher Evane smiled and Nux was taken aback.
She really was too beautiful.
“You do not have to mention that, Teacher Evane.
I just couldn’t stand the fact that she had the galls to say all that to you, my saviour.
I will do the same thing I did if I have to, no one says anything disrespectful to my teacher and gets away with it.”
Nux snorted.
Teacher Evane smiled, however, then, she warned,
“But you have to be careful against that girl, okay? She is quite popular in this Academy.
Also, she is incredibly strong and talented.
I am sure you must have heard about her.”
A small smile appeared on Nux’s face as he questioned,
“You will protect me if something happens, right, Teacher Evane?”
Evane then shook her head and chuckled,
“Don’t depend on me you fool. You should just be careful and not mess with her anymore.”
Nux chuckled as well,
“Hahaha~
Don’t worry Teacher Evane, I am a very careful person. I won’t do something reckless.”
Evane seriously doubted what Nux just said, however, she didn’t say anything out loud and continued,
“Alright, so what is your question?”
“Ah right,” Nux then recalled what he was here for and smiled.
“So the thing is, I know that Fire Burst Spell is strong.
Very strong, I have seen its effect first hand.
However, there are too many problems with it.
First, it takes too much Mana.
Second, it takes too much time.
I am trying to adjust it somehow but I am unable to come up with a way…”
“You are already thinking of using it efficiently huh…” Evane raised her eyebrow in surprise.
“Alright, I understand, you are correct about those faults.
Fire Burst indeed takes too much Time and Mana, however, there is a way to reduce that.
Have you learned the 1-Star Skill, Fire Ball?”
Evane questioned.
“Yes, I have.”
“Good, it will be easier then,
So what you can do is that rather than making a huge Fireball from the start, you can start with a simple Fireball, then, while you shoot, you can inject more Mana into it so that it will burst when it collides with your target.
Though this does sound like nothing special, it will help you a lot if you master it.”
Nux, however, just frowned in confusion.
“I do not understand what you are trying to say, Teacher Evane.”
“Alright, I guess that would be too complicated for someone who just started learning this technique,
Let me slow it down a little.”
