After listening to Oscar’s tearful complaints, Sains furrowed his brows tightly, his eyes filled with disappointment.
Looking down at Oscar with an icy gaze, his voice was frosty:
“Enough! Oscar.”
“As a student of Red Maple Magic Academy, losing a duel is one thing, but to twist the truth like this—you’re bringing shame to the academy’s reputation!”
Oscar’s face instantly turned deathly pale upon hearing this.
Any lingering hope he had vanished, leaving him feeling as if he’d plunged into an icy abyss.
He opened his mouth to defend himself, but Sains’ piercing glare made him swallow his words.
Turning to Su Nian, Sains’ expression softened immediately.
“Miss Su Nian, I am Sains, the Academic Dean of the Magic Academy. Today’s incident was our students’ fault, and I apologize on their behalf. Your mastery of magic displayed today has truly astonished me.”
Sains said with genuine sincerity and admiration.
His words sent a ripple of surprise through the crowd, especially among the magic academy students.
No one had expected the notoriously strict Dean Sains to praise an “outsider” so highly.
Within Red Maple Magic Academy, Sains was infamous as the “Devil Dean.”
Though the Academic Dean typically didn’t teach and only managed faculty as the highest authority over all academy instructors, whenever their teachers got scolded, those teachers naturally took it out on the students.
But what shocked the students even more came next.
Sains continued, “I came here today to formally invite you, on behalf of Red Maple Magic Academy, to join us as an instructor. With your strength and talent, you could undoubtedly nurture outstanding mages.”
This announcement exploded like a bombshell among the academy students.
“What? Let her be our instructor? She’s just a performer from a song-and-dance troupe!”
“How can this be? She didn’t even graduate from our academy!”
The students whispered among themselves, faces filled with disbelief and discontent.
Clearly, these magic academy students couldn’t accept that someone they’d wanted to condemn and expose moments ago might now become their teacher.
Su Nian was genuinely startled by this unexpected offer too.
Her eyes widened as she struggled to formulate a response.
After the initial shock, she fell into deep thought.
Becoming an instructor at Red Maple Magic Academy would undoubtedly give her access to the academy’s abundant magical resources— those treasured spellbooks and rare magical materials could significantly enhance her abilities.
The academy’s connections might also aid her future revenge against the Horned Demon.
However…
She wasn’t willing to abandon her idol career with Magic Feather Fantasy.
Beyond effortlessly harvesting Humiliation Points, being a magical girl idol brought her ample satisfaction, fame, and wealth.
If forced to choose between the two, she’d pick Magic Feather Fantasy without hesitation.
After all, a respectable position like magic academy instructor would never trigger any Humiliation Point missions from that damn system.
But perhaps there was another way…
A new thought occurred to Su Nian.
The reason Sains-who could represent the academy-had come to invite her as an instructor was likely because he’d recognized her exceptional magical control during her debut performance.
Control ability is like the same spell-while a system-purchased spell with 100% proficiency allows her to manipulate it effortlessly, achieving twice the result with half the effort.
Simply teaching mana extraction, spell composition, or magic circles clearly doesn’t require her expertise; only instruction on control ability is necessary.
As for whether she had the ability to teach…
That was simple.
Now, with the system’s assistance, her methods of control were almost all optimal solutions.
Teaching students of varying levels at the magic academy was like a high schooler teaching second-graders multiplication tables-hardly difficult.
Perhaps there was a way to have the best of both worlds.
After an intense internal struggle, Su Nian raised her head, her eyes filled with determination and sincerity.
“Director Sains, I sincerely appreciate your invitation, and I’m honored. However, I also have my own considerations,”
Su Nian said, meeting Sains’ gaze directly.
For a moment, everyone sighed in surprise-Su Nian hadn’t immediately accepted?
After all, instructors at the Magic Academy were figures ordinary people rarely had the chance to meet.
And now, with Director Sains personally extending the invitation, she still had reservations?
Meanwhile, among the members of Magic Feather Fantasy, especially Amy and Lise, hearing that Su Nian was being invited to become an instructor brought mixed feelings both joy and sorrow.
They were thrilled that their captain, Su Nian, could advance further and become a Magic Academy instructor.
Yet they were disheartened, realizing that the esteemed mage Su Nian truly belonged to a different world from theirs.
She had just debuted with Magic Feather Fantasy, and now they were about to part ways.
However, when they heard Su Nian hadn’t immediately accepted, their eyes widened in disbelief.
This was an invitation from the Magic Academy!
“Because I still have responsibilities with Magic Feather Fantasy, my available time for teaching at the academy each week would be limited,” Su Nian voiced her concerns and thoughts.
Though she phrased it this way, she hadn’t outright refused.
If the Magic Academy had a position requiring only minimal weekly teaching hours, she could consider it.
“Hahaha, I believe Miss Su Nian has misunderstood. An instructor is like a beacon of knowledge, guiding students through the vast ocean of magical wisdom-it doesn’t demand extensive teaching time,” Sains said with a satisfied smile.
Powerful individuals who reached the rank of archmage all had their own pursuits.
Whether researching magic circles, potions, or enchanted artifacts, or traveling in search of rare materials who had time to teach classes every day?
“With Miss Su Nian’s capabilities, even one public lecture per week would be more than enough to provide immense inspiration to the students.”
What Sains valued in Su Nian was her unparalleled magical control.
With just a few pointers, she could set talented mages on the right path.
“In that case, I’d be honored to accept Director Sains’ invitation and serve as an instructor at the Magic Academy,” Su Nian said gracefully, performing a courteous bow.
One lecture per week!
This way, she could both join the Magic Academy and retain her duties with Magic Feather Fantasy.
“Ahahaha, it’s settled then!” Sains exclaimed excitedly.
With Sains’ agreement, the atmosphere in the Magic Feather Fantasy hall grew complex.
The troublemaking students from the Magic Academy had long since lost their earlier arrogance.
Never could they have imagined that what started as a provocation would suddenly gain them a mentor.
The mere thought of potential retaliation from Mentor Su Nian in the future at the Magic Academy filled them with dread.
As for the members of Magic Feather Fantasy, their emotions were a mix of joy and concern-joy for Su Nian’s rare opportunity, yet worry that her new role and busy schedule might distance her from them.
Fortunately, according to Su Nian, she would only teach one class per week at the Magic Academy, remaining a steadfast member of Magic Feather Fantasy.
Meanwhile, in an unnoticed corner, Chu Tian instinctively retreated behind the crowd.
Given his current strength, it was unwise to openly oppose the Magic Academy.
He never expected…
Su Nian to be invited as a mentor by the Magic Academy.
It seemed he had no choice but to accelerate his plans!
If he waited any longer, once Su Nian officially began teaching and built connections within the academy, his scheme might face unforeseen complications.
That same noon.
A letter, bearing the name of Lord Mo Yuan of Shadowmoon Manor, arrived at Magic Feather Fantasy-addressed to none other than…
Miss Su Nian, the continent’s most enchanting magical idol and the newly appointed mentor of its premier Magic Academy.
