1.2.4

The exam for my students was drawing closer so I decided to pour most of my focus in preparing them for it. Students such as Valentine and Stardust seemed ready while the others that seemed to be lacking a bit was Fuuka and Deyuki. Deyuki mentioned earlier about him beating someone called the Magmalord — so I decided to stay back with him while he was asleep again to hear what he meant by that.

"Ahh well let's see here. It was about a year ago. I don't know how you don't know about the Magmalord but I did defeat him anonymously for a reason." I was listening to everything he said.

"Well to sum it up, he was just an evil being made of pure molten lava and everyone would constantly burn in his presence that it was just impossible to get to him. He had this crazy plan to multiply and force erupt every volcano on the planet."

I continued to stay quiet pondering for a bit.

"So how did you manage to defeat him if you couldn't even go near him?" He then replied back in a relaxed manner.

"I simply applied a body enhancement spell on myself that's all. There are two that people don't use much." He said as he had one eye closed and pointed two fingers up at me. I continued to sit on his desk as he said this as he was leaning back on his chair.

"Heat and Cold emission." He said

"Coating ones body in a certain temperature to match the environment or situation to avoid powerful burns or survive impossibly cold frostbites. From the wizard academy I came from...well before I was kicked, people just opted to learn other magic like lightning bolts or radiation spheres."

I wasnt sure if listening to any of this would help me or not but I decided to do it anyway. After all, I was learning a bit about one of the dumbest kids in my class.

"Anyways... I know about the whole exam coming up on friday. Trust me, I am worried and stressed. But for now, don't worry about me too much. I'll do fine."

He didn't seem like he knew what he was talking about but I wanted him to at least pass the test.

I walked into the teacher's lounge for a bit to relax myself. The only other person in there was Mai Suzuki, the music teacher, her short blue hair flowing slowly as she turned around and cleaned her glasses. She was one of the more prettier teachers in the school.

"Oh Wanderer, I heard there's an exam coming up for your students right?" She said formerly.

"Yeah, There are some students that are having trouble keeping up but I believe if I try hard enough then I can get them all to pass." I grumbled.

"Oh don't push yourself too much Wanderer. I may be a music teacher but I know its essential you should take breaks sometimes. Time may seem like something you shouldn't throw away and relaxing seems like a waste of time to you — but just know that relaxing is still using time in a positive way. You aren't wasting it but just using it from. different purpose."

She was right. I was pushing myself too hard teaching everyone. I've just been so stressed over the whole Kurohana situation that I've been pouring that stressed and letting it leak into other parts of my new life.

"Alright, thanks for that." I replied back, now sitting on the couch, staring at the tea on the table for me from Emi Fujimoto.

"You're welcome Wanderer. I just want to make you smile for a bit and give you hope, that's all." She said sending shivers down my spine — reminding me of Masami a bit.

I got up slowly and left before headed to my class to prepare for the next lesson I needed to teach which was math.

After preparing my lesson, I got up and walked around discovering other places in the school I haven't went to yet. I went to the nurses office and spotted a white haired, blue eyed girl who seemed around my age sitting on a chair in the middle who turned around and waved and smiled at me.

"Ah! You must be The Wanderer right?" She asked.

"What's with the strange mask you got on?" I replied a bit nervously. "Eh well this just happened to be permanently stuck on me so I can't really do much about it." I said while scratching the back of my head.

She then smiled innocently. I noticed her skin was quite pale and she was quite slim. So I decided to ask a quick question hoping it wouldn't offend her.

"Wait so are you even human?" I asked nervously.

She then sighed and chuckled. "No you little goose. I'm not sure what I am. However, I can tell you a bit about where I came from."

I then took a seat and started to listen in in what she had to say.

"So let's see here...You know those symbols around the sun right?" She asked with her eyes closed and a finger up. "Well you see one of the symbols aligned with the sun on Neptune and triggered the gases to form into a being, a creature, that was how I was born. I didn't know anything yet. So I didn't have any clothing on but I decided to fly where I could sense the most lifeforms which was, well earth." This was strange. It seems like this world was still on earth. But how could that be? Theres all this magic going around and everything.

"Are you listening? I'm in the middle of explaining here!" She said as she whined. "Sorry! Sorry! Its just uh...What symbol was it exactly that caused you to come alive?" I asked curiously.

"Hmm well let's see. If I remember cirectly, the first thing I awoke to wait the star of David symbols, pure cladded red in my eyes." I guess that means a but more then. The symbols seem to trigger something when aligned with the sun. But that landed on Neptune, what if it happened on earth? I just forgot about it and stopped asking myself.

"May I continue my story? Anyway, so I saw everyone's clothes when I came down to earth so I just decided to make my own using some magic...Blah Blah Blah." Her voice drowned out as I left quietly, sighing to myself. There was still a lot I needed to learn about this world.

There was only one more day till Friday, which meant that their exam day was one day away. Sakomoto did tell me that the means for my class was different and went through every subject at once since I was teaching every subject at once to my students.

"Don't stress too much. I'll make sure its not too hard for you" He said with a gentle smile. I was sitting in class now, everyone seemed to be studying and have stopped messing around now. It seems like they finally had a grasp on how important their education was.

One by one, every hand they put up, I helped mercilessly. This was where I needed to truly focus. A lot of the time, Boro was asleep in my pocket. He didn't seem to care much about everything. He did have another spar with Valentine a couple of days ago when they argued about what sauce to out on chicken wings. It was stupid but at least it was a way to keep the both of them fit.

"Sensei!" Stardust called out suddenly ad I woke from my nap on my table. I then looked as the class was silent and looked to the side seeing Sakomoto who had just caught me napping in class.

"Uh...It isn't what it looks like Sakomoto..." He then shook his head and chuckled. "You're doing a great job, preparing these students for the exam." He said in a light tone. I first thought it was sarcasm but I then took a look at my students, Valentine and Deyuki weren't really doing too much but the others were completely focused in studying.

This simply put a wide smile on my face. As more people put their hands up to ask for help, I went over and helped then where I can. This job didn't seem as boring as it did back in my old world so that was a good thing that I was enjoying it here.

"Hey Shirakama." I asked at his bar after school. "Let's say I had a really powerful ability...Like a really REALLY strong one. Would you kill me for thinking it's too powerful?" I asked trying to figure out if he'd still kill me for having Hyper. He shook his head.

"Of course not. You're my favorite customer after all...Behind Miya that is..." I was a bit curious.

"Miya? Who's that?" He then chuckled a bit.

"You don't need to worry about her for now." He said, cleaning used glasses from before.
