"I didn't expect to misjudge her."

Liens thought to himself.

With that glance just now, he detected a trace of abnormality in Atel.

A small amount of various elemental light particles were slowly entering Atel's body.

This process was somewhat similar to a Knight's advancement after consuming an Elemental Baptism Potion, but the progress was slowed down many times.

Because of this, at first, he merely regarded these elemental light particles as normal elements suspended on the surface of an ordinary person's body, not paying much attention.

"The elements are too mixed; she doesn't seem like a Knight or a Priest. Could she be a Magician?"

"Do female Magicians nowadays all like to play the role of a Knight?"

"Lucrezia is, and this Atel in front of me is too."

"However, I remember the Dean saying that only when a Magician advances to the Grand Magician realm does their magic power undergo a qualitative change, leading to this phenomenon of automatically absorbing external elements."

"This change can reduce the consumption of magic when a Grand Magician casts spells, and at the same time enhance their endurance."

"Thus, this Teacher Atel is either a genius who caused her magic power to undergo a qualitative change prematurely, or she is already a strong Extraordinary One who has achieved the Grand Magician realm."

Liens mused to himself.

Although his mind was racing with thoughts, he quickly responded to Atel.

Facing a potential Grand Magician, he naturally didn't dare to show any disrespect.

Although more than four months had passed, he still clearly remembered how he was brutally killed by that old man from the Glenbagen Family.

Now he was certain that person was a strong Extraordinary One of the Great Knight realm.

Conform...

Although Atel looked a bit young, feeling about the same age as the students in the academy, not quite like a strong Extraordinary One of the Grand Magician realm.

But if an existence like him, who was about to advance to a Great Knight at sixteen, could exist, then a twenty-year-old Grand Magician was entirely possible.

What's more, who knew if this person was pretending to be young?

Magicians were not like brute Knights such as him; there were many things they could do with magic.

So, Liens immediately cast aside the perfunctory words he had prepared earlier.

"Yes, Teacher Atel, my name is Heier, and I am a Swordsmanship teacher who has been employed at this academy for nearly five months."

Liens responded to Atel with an enthusiastic smile.

Atel was a bit surprised by Liens's sudden change of expression.

She had seen Liens with a stern face just now and thought he was a difficult person to approach.

However, thinking of her own appearance and figure, Atel understood.

Since she passed the Knight assessment and entered the Royal Capital five years ago, she had seen no shortage of men trying to curry favor with her, especially in recent years as that part grew larger, there were even more such people.

Although she felt Liens was a similar type of person, Atel wouldn't feel uncomfortable or suddenly become arrogant because of it.

She wasn't that kind of person.

Moreover, she herself was a visual creature; she couldn't demand that everyone she met have noble spirits, could she?

"Hello, Teacher Heier. Because I'm a bit worried about tomorrow's class, I'd like to ask you for some relevant teaching experience."

Atel first politely greeted Liens again, then directly stated her purpose.

Teaching experience?

Hearing that the "potential big shot" in front of him wanted this, Liens instantly felt a bit embarrassed.

What teaching experience did he have that he could speak of?

Other than teaching Basic Swordsmanship and answering the students' questions about swordsmanship, he basically didn't bother with anything else.

He wouldn't dare to directly give this kind of experience to this "potential big shot," lest others think he was being perfunctory.

So, after a brief pause, he quickly racked his brain and began to fabricate a set of "teaching experiences" that seemed perfectly fine.

Fortunately, he had deeply felt that he read too few books before.

Therefore, when Liens's head was throbbing from those elemental structures, or during his free time from practicing swordsmanship, he would go to the library section of the teaching area to read some books to supplement his general knowledge.

Thus, his current critical thinking ability was still acceptable.

It's worth mentioning that while reading in the library area, Liens also discovered an interesting thing—Hypnotism.

That's right, it was the kind of "Hypnotism" that often appeared in unspeakable places.

This Hypnotism was quite simple; he learned it after a little study.

Afterward, he experimented and found that it was indeed real.

The principle seemed to involve some spiritual aspects, and he didn't quite understand its mechanism. This chapter was first seen on *.

However, it had no effect on Extraordinary Ones.

At least, Liens used it on Nimophila and the Dean in the instance, and it had no effect.

Otherwise, he would have been able to extract the secret of the town.

After realizing that this thing wasn't very useful to him, Liens handed it over to the Dean.

Then, this thing, which was very dangerous to ordinary people, was burned down by the Dean with a fireball.

Back to the main topic.

After quickly fabricating the "teaching experience," Liens spoke eloquently to Atel, detailing everything.

To summarize, it was—

Encourage diligent and hardworking students to continue their efforts; for arrogant and troublesome ones, beat them until they become diligent.

Watching Atel listen attentively to his "nonsense," nodding from time to time…

Liens couldn't help but worry about the students he had never paid attention to.

"Sorry, I wish you good luck!"

Liens silently prayed in his heart.

"Teacher Heier, you explained it so well. You truly are a teacher with rich experience."

"I know what to do now. Thank you."

Atel thanked Liens happily after listening to the explanation.

"Haha… Teacher Atel, you're too kind. This is just a humble opinion of mine, and it may not apply to all situations."

Liens replied a little awkwardly.

At the same time, he used terms like "humble opinion," "not necessarily," and "all situations" to pave his retreat.

He was subtly hinting to Atel… I've said what I needed to say, if it's not useful, please don't blame me.

"No experience can apply to all situations; I know that, so I will analyze each specific situation."

"Anyway, I am truly grateful that Teacher Heier patiently explained the teaching experience to me."

"If I have time, I'll express my gratitude again… For now, I need to go back home and move my essential daily necessities to the academy dormitory."

Atel thanked Liens again and bid farewell.

"Hmm, home? Not a hotel?"

"Is Teacher Atel from the town? I thought you came to Hughes Town from the Royal Capital."

"If you're comfortable at home, there's actually no need to move into the academy specifically for work. The living conditions in the dormitories here are quite ordinary."

"Many teachers in the academy also live outside; it's not far, just a walk away, and it doesn't delay work."

Upon hearing this, Liens immediately tried to persuade Atel.

If possible, he really didn't want this "potential big shot" to live too close to his residence.

Otherwise, he would feel uneasy when entering the instance.

Mainly, he was worried that he might be instantly killed by a "Grand Magic" spell when he entered the instance.

"I haven't wanted to live with my parents recently, so I decided to move out while I have this job opportunity."

Atel confessed.

"Oh, I see… Then, goodbye, Teacher Atel."

Liens made a knowing expression and waved goodbye to Atel.

"Goodbye, Teacher Heier."

Atel also waved back.

With that, she turned and walked towards the academy gate.

Watching her departing figure, Liens thought to himself:

"Parents? Is that a lie? Or intentionally exposed false information?"

"Never mind, I'll test this female Magician's strength in the instance."

"Perhaps she's another Magic Swordsman…"
