It’s so hard to save up more than ten thousand Credits, so does that mean getting more than ten thousand Teaching Points will be any easier?
Impossible……………
After silently pondering this for a moment and realizing the truth, Keti suddenly felt another wave of hesitation.
It seemed Lynn had noticed the change in the girl’s mood, and after a moment, he spoke up again: “It’s okay, earning Teaching Points is a little easier than earning Credits. By the way, Keti, you and Miss Alice—how many Credits did you manage to save up back when you were in school? You were close to graduation, right?”
“Uh, Alice graduated as soon as she got a little over five thousand Credits, because she figured she couldn’t get ten thousand in five years. I, I…………… just over three thousand, cough cough……………… I didn’t even get a Graduation Certificate,”
The silver-haired beauty lowered her head in despair, on the verge of tears.
Seriously, why did he have to bring up her old wounds at a time like this?
She hadn’t even stayed at the school for the full five years before leaving with Alice…
Otherwise, otherwise…………………
Fine, even if she had stayed the full five years, she still wouldn’t have gotten it, alright!
Why are you such a villain, arch-nemesis!
Why bring up stuff like this, ugh~
Seeing the girl looking even more dejected and losing confidence, Lynn quickly coughed twice.
Ah, he’d only meant to ask for a rough number so he could encourage her—she almost made it last time, so surely, with some effort, she could do it this time.
But……………
Alright, alright, he’d overlooked something.
With her Magic talent, it really was tough for the little one to rack up enough Credits, especially since she’d left school early with that girl named Alice.
So, Lynn had to change tactics.
He reached out his hand and gently placed it on the cute girl’s little head, softly stroking her smooth, long hair……………
Eh?
The silver-haired beauty was stunned for a moment, then looked up in utter confusion at her arch-nemesis’s hand………………
The previously quiet surroundings had, at some point, filled with a low hum of chatter. Faintly, she could hear bits and pieces…
“Eh? Isn’t that Teacher Lynn?”
“Who’s that girl next to him? Is she his girlfriend?”
“She’s so cute, they look good together~”
Hiss—
“Wow…a head pat attack, that’s so adorable!”
The whispers at her ear made a bright blush suddenly spread across Keti’s cheeks………………
A moment later, she realized that while her arch-nemesis was committing the heinous crime of “patting her head”…
The students in the teaching building had just gotten out of class, ahhhhh——!
Immediately, in the next second, the silver-haired girl launched a rocket headbutt, knocking Lynn’s hand away on the spot, then—with steam practically coming out of her head—she dashed straight for the rooftop of the teaching building!
Eh, what?!
He finally caught up to the girl on the rooftop, pinned her to a bench to keep her from running, and only then did Lynn breathe a sigh of relief.
He first wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath, and began to comfort the girl: “R-right, sorry, I didn’t expect the students to get out of class right then. I just wanted to encourage you. Um…Teaching Points and Credits might sound similar, but actually, for Students and Teaching Assistants, the roles are very different.”
Lynn gave the girl a gentle smile and patted her on the shoulder.
“So, don’t dwell on the past. Forget about it. Don’t always think you can’t do it just because of your talent. Remember, your students are just a bunch of little kids. Aren’t you a member of the Imperial Capital’s Adventurers’ Strongest Party? Why would you think you can’t teach? You’ve got to give it a try, right?”
Keti, who had just been inexplicably patted on the head, still hadn’t quite recovered from the shame.
She’d originally wanted to give her arch-nemesis a good beating, maybe even hit him with an adult correction punch or something……………
But after hearing his encouragement, Keti’s attention was completely diverted.
After thinking for a moment, even she couldn’t help nodding in agreement.
Then, she looked at him seriously and said: “Tell me in detail—how do I earn Teaching Points? I want to get ten thousand as quickly as possible! I want to………………prove to Alice, Layla, and Sylvia that I can… achieve something incredible too………………”
“Getting into the Magic Tower isn’t just incredible—it’s something your three teammates couldn’t do! Haha, alright, alright, since that’s the case, let me give you a simple explanation, Miss Keti. First, these ten thousand Teaching Points can basically be divided into two parts…………………”
Lynn smiled and then began patiently breaking it down for her.
“First is the daily Teaching Points. These are like course grades in Credits, capped at five thousand points. As long as you do a good job managing your class, you’ll get weekly rewards based on class performance and your own work. You can get up to a hundred points a week. If you get full marks every week, it’ll take about a year. But honestly…it probably won’t be that quick.”
Keti nodded thoughtfully, then listened as Lynn continued:
“As for the remaining five thousand points, that’s the other part—Special Teaching Points. There’s no cap on these, but…you have to complete various school tasks and activities, or your class has to earn some sort of honor to get Special Teaching Points. It’s tougher, but you can get a lot at once. It all depends on whether you can seize the opportunities.”
“Uh, sounds like…it’s not something that can be done in a short time………………”
Keti mumbled awkwardly, but still cheered herself on in her heart.
Her arch-nemesis gave her another pat on the shoulder and said,
“Do your best! Honestly, I want to see if you can really pull it off~”
“……”
Keti sucked in a sharp breath, suddenly feeling that Lynn’s real goal might just be to watch her embarrass herself.
But, after a moment, the girl still quietly lowered her head and softly said:
“Anyway, thank you. For giving me this opportunity, for the clothes you gave me this morning, um…………………even…the women’s underwear……………
“As long as it fits~ After all, you’re about to start teaching, so if you can, go meet the students of Class 25 this afternoon.”
“Okay! T-then…I’ll go back to the dorm and get ready!”
Lynn nodded, and the silver-haired beauty turned and dashed off, full of enthusiasm.
It looked like she was already in work mode.
“Matt……”
After Keti left, a tall, bespectacled beauty in a suit appeared quietly behind Lynn.
She bowed respectfully and said: “Forgive me for interrupting your pleasant time, but the other four Councilors of the Magic Tower Council are ready. Please return as soon as possible so we can discuss the meeting agenda together.”
“Oh?”
Lynn narrowed his eyes and smiled, then turned around and replied with a playful grin:
“Heh, looks like I overdid it a bit, huh? Sorry, Vice Commander, but…can’t those four wait a little longer? I’ve been talking so much today, I’m a bit thirsty.”
“Yes…Lord Lynn!”
