Chapter 128 Teaching a few is not teaching [VIP]
The player folded his arms across his chest, floating in mid-air, scanning the students below with what he thought was a very oppressive gaze.
Three days? That's the limit players can tolerate. How long would it take to learn a basic skill like this? The NPCs have been spoiled into being too casual!
Noise Monster responded immediately, crossing his chair legs and folding his hands behind his head, looking relaxed and at ease. "With my intelligence, it'll be quick~"
Strange Liu Hai seemed much more cautious. He frowned slightly, "Wu, you're overconfident. Multiplying mana is not a simple operation, judging by the principle."
Noise Monster Wu looked at Strange Liu Hai with confidence and a hint of provocation. "I can learn it in a few seconds. Don't let me lag too far behind you, okay? If you can't learn it, just cry secretly under the covers. I can only try to comfort you~"
A vein suddenly popped out on the strange man's forehead, and the gentle smile on his face faltered. "Haha, who knows who'll end up crying. Should we go out and tell them?"
Noise Monster Wu put his legs on the table, and the chair leaned back even further, swaying. "Are you afraid of being lonely? Go by yourself."
Players internally complained, "Why are these NPCs ready to fight at the slightest disagreement? They're so energetic."
Dead Fish Eyes rolled his eyes and dragged out his voice to complain: "Two childish ghosts."
She turned her head and looked at the player, her tone slightly more serious: "Xiao Lin, I want to practice that spell reversal. Do you want to come with me?"
The players were delighted, thinking that the dead-eye guy was ambitious and took the initiative to practice more!
So she immediately agreed, and pointed at the bickering Noise Monster and Strange Bangs with a bitter heart, scolding them like a teacher:
"Look at him! How ambitious! What about you two? All you do is bicker! If you have time, you might as well practice more! Time is money! Money can't buy time! Do you understand?"
The player quoted from classics and spoke wittily, and I almost thought I really had a job called a teacher.
Noise Monster Satoru loudly defended himself, sounding very dissatisfied. "Hey, Xiaolin, I'm smart, okay? Practice also requires methods and efficiency. It's unfair for Glass to learn it yesterday so she can practice it right away."
Weird Liu Hai didn't refute, but just thought for a moment, looking at the player and Dead Fish Eyes: "Teacher Lin, Glass, can we go practice with you? It's great, the two people who can reverse the whole magic world are here, and we can ask directly if we have any questions."
The players thought about it for a while and felt that this suggestion was very pertinent. It would be more lively with more people and would be convenient for centralized management.
Dead Fish Eyes shrugged indifferently.
The player waved his hand and said, "Alright! Let's go!"
As the group walked out of the classroom, they met two girls.
The dead fish eyes casually introduced: "They are second-year seniors. The one wearing the miko costume is Angehime, and the one with the high ponytail is Mingming."
As the player glanced at them, the system immediately popped up a name prompt, but the player did not hesitate to label them as [Witch] and [High Ponytail] in his mind. It was simple and easy to remember, and it was in line with the player's naming aesthetics.
Noise Monster Wu and Dead Fish Eyes, who were following behind, greeted them. Dead Fish Eyes nodded politely: "Diva-senpai, Ming-senpai."
Noise Monster Satoru directly shouted to the shrine maiden, "Hey, Diva~"
He waved to Gao Ponytail again, "Miss Ming~"
The shrine maiden, who was called a singing diva, immediately got angry and said in a bad tone, "You should call me senior properly, you rude fellow!"
Gao Ponytail, also known as Mingming, seemed much calmer. She looked at this strange group and asked, "Where are you going?"
Weird Bangs replied, "Go practice some reversal techniques or something."
At this moment, the system prompt box popped up again in the player's field of view:
[Potential teaching subjects detected: "An Geji", "Mingming".
Should I add it to my "teacher-friendly" task list? 】
The player chose "yes" without thinking.
Teaching one person is teaching, teaching a group is teaching. To her, there is not much difference.
The player immediately poked the two new NPCs and directly invited them: "Would you like to learn the reversal technique?"
The witch was stunned for a moment, her face filled with disbelief. "Reversal technique? Is this something that can be learned so easily?"
But she looked at the player's matter-of-fact expression, and the two male classmates beside her who smiled and raised their hands as witnesses. After a moment's hesitation, she nodded, "...If I can really learn it, I will!"
The girl with the high ponytail rubbed her chin, a thoughtful expression on her face. "E has nothing to do right now anyway. Learning this could save me some medical expenses. Hmm...if I could save lives like Ieiri, maybe I could even develop a new business, like charging for treatment."
She nodded as well. "Sounds good. I'll join in too."
Players are happy, too!
She waved her hand and led the group back to the classroom. "Let's resume the class now! Everyone, sit down!"
The player floated up to the podium again and went over the previous principles, energy flow, and operations to ensure that the new students could understand them.
After explaining the theory, the player generously offered [service again.
She guided them one by one, allowing them to personally experience the reversal spell lighting up on themselves, which could not be used externally.
It seems that reversal techniques are rare, and reversal techniques that can be used on others are even rarer. It is not difficult to understand why the dead fish eyes are tightly protected.
"The experience is over. The rest depends on your own practice and understanding." The player announced, feeling that his teaching service was really thoughtful and thorough.
Then, the group found a secluded training ground. Because Dead Fish Eyes was going to practice the reversal technique (the black light), only the player was responsible for demonstrating and guiding the others in the reversal technique.
Time passes by little by little.
The player's patience gradually ran out as he looked at the group of students below, some of whom were concentrating with their eyes closed, some were scratching their heads, and some were trying to hold their breath.
Why? Why couldn't she learn something so simple? The player's inner rage was as great as her doubts. She suddenly floated into the air and began to question everyone below sincerely and deeply, while still maintaining clear logic:
"Why can't you learn it? Hey, it's such a simple thing. I've already broken down the principle so clearly, simulated the energy flow path for you, and even let you experience it yourself! Just imitate it, right? Cursed energy - negative! Multiplication - equals positive E! It's just one step, it's so simple, how come you can't even do the simplest energy operation? Is your Cursed Energy made of wood? Or metal? There's no way to mix them, so what about your brain? You should use it!"
The player stamped her feet in anger, spinning around in circles, unable to bear it any longer. She drew her sword and furiously hacked at the nearby bushes. She felt that the NPCs' lack of understanding was simply unworthy of her gifted teacher's careful instruction.
After scolding everyone, the player's eyes fell on Noise Monster.
Among all the scowling students, only he could occasionally, unsteadily, briefly emit a faint, white light from his fingertips. Although he was still far from mastering it, at least he had independently completed the most basic operation of multiplying cursed energy!
The player's anger subsided a bit. She flew over to Noise Monster and praised him generously, her tone even carrying the satisfaction of someone who had finally grown vegetables after ten years of hard work: "Noise Monster! You may not be able to maintain it constantly, or use it whenever you want, but at least you've mastered the multiplication of cursed energy on your own! That's already excellent! You've made the most progress out of everyone so far! With more practice, you'll definitely be able to master it completely!"
Finally there's someone who isn't a complete blockhead!
Noise Monster accepted all the compliments and immediately had a smug expression on his face, with his tail almost raised to the sky.
As he tried to condense the faint white light again, as if to show off, he began to explain his understanding to the others proudly: "Hahaha~ See? This is the comprehension of a genius! Let me explain, it's actually very simple. Just twist that nasty, sticky feeling hard, like twisting a towel, and puff, it changes~ Do you want me to teach you? Call me "Senpai" for your nice voice? Hahahaha!"
His boasting immediately aroused public outrage.
The miko was the first one who couldn't stand it: "Shut up, Gojo! You're so noisy!"
The hash mark popped up on the strange fringe's forehead again, and he tried hard to maintain a smile: "Wu, be quiet, you're disturbing others."
Gao Mawei calmly pointed out, "Gojo, your mere presence is seriously lowering the average concentration level here."
Dead Fish Eyes said simply: "Get away."
Teacher Lin, who was very receptive to student suggestions, immediately took advantage of them and pointed at the entrance to the training ground, giving Noise Monster an order: "Noise Monster, get out! You're being too noisy and seriously disturbing other students' studies."
Noise Monster's face instantly fell, and he started to act like a spoiled child, protesting in a long voice: "Hey - why are you doing this to me, Xiaolin! I'm an honor student, right? Honor students have some privileges! And my method might actually work!"
Just then, a man in traditional clothing appeared at the edge of the training ground and said something respectfully to Noise Monster.
Noise Monster Wu stopped throwing a tantrum, pouted, and complained, "Tsk, those old men at home are so troublesome..."
He turned around and waved to everyone, "Let's go, practice slowly, I'll come back to guide you~"
After saying that, he followed the man and left.
The training ground finally returned to silence.
The player looked at the few remaining students who were making slow progress, sighed, and flew down resignedly to begin the next round of difficult teaching.
The player's heart was filled with helplessness. The profession of teacher was really not a job for humans...
