First Day Teaching

Yuliang eyed the 13 bright-eyed students seated before him critically.

It was hard to believe that all these people were the same age as him, especially the short one sitting at the very front.

Wait, that can't be right.

"You. How old are you?"

The young omega straightened up proudly under the attention that fell on him, "My name is not, You. My name is Elys Rydel, and I'm 13. The university scouted me to join the program because I have perfect Energy control."

At least there was one person young enough to make teaching not feel too awkward.

"Good on you. Alright," Yuliang directed his attention back to the rest of the class. "So, I guess I should introduce myself now. My name is Yuliang Davos. You can call me Yuliang or Davos if that's more comfortable for you. I'll be in charge of your Monday practical classes. How many of you have previous experience Healing?"

When no one raised their hand, Yuliang raised an eyebrow. "Really? No one?"

"Isn't the whole point of this program to teach us how to Heal?" Elys asked, crossing his arms over his chest and looking up at Yuliang with a scowl to rival Yuliang's own on his face.

"That doesn't mean people can't take the initiative to learn it." Yuliang sighed, "Alright, so I was informed that for your lecture, you covered cuts and bruises, yeah?"

There was a chorus of agreement from the class.

"Good. So, I'm going to take attendance first, and then when I call your name, you will each come to the front and get one of the leaves I have here on the table. Then, you'll go back to your desk and wait for further instructions."

Once everyone's name was called, and they returned to their desk with their leaf, he continued, "The cells on a leaf aren't the same as the cells on humans, but they too are living things sustained by Energy. So they will be a good starting point for you to learn the basics of Interspatial Energy manipulation. I hope that y'all remember what that means because it's pretty darn important. So, Lilou, why don't you give it a crack? Tell me what it is."

The Kulonian girl looked surprised at being called but did as requested. "Um. Interspatial Energy manipulation is a form of Energy manipulation primarily used by Healers to Heal and remove damage from the body through the regeneration of cells and numbing sensitized nerves as required?"

"Are you asking me or telling me?"

"Telling?"

Yuliang pursed his lips, briefly considering the benefits of continued cruelty, but in the end, he relented. "Well, you aren't wrong. Did anyone else want to add anything or have anything different to say? No one?"

He picked up the large leaf left on his desk and held it up for the class to see, "So if you take a closer look at your leaves, you'll notice that they are all damaged in some way or another. Your task, therefore, is to use Energy to repair them."
