Immortal Creed
Chapter 156: Class
After breakfast, Liens arrived at the indoor training grounds, where he would be teaching today.
If the weather were warmer, he would probably be teaching the students in the external training grounds.
However, it was the Frost Season, and while he didn't mind, the current weather was a bit too cold for the average students of the Knight Academy.
Exercising for a while in the morning was fine, but if classes were also held outdoors, some students might not be able to endure it.
The Knight Academy was a place for teaching, not a deadly place like the Glenbagen Family's Training Camp.
Liens practiced his Basic Swordsmanship for a bit longer, treating it as post-meal digestion.
Time gradually passed, and soon, the bell rang.
Liens sheathed his sword and looked at the students who had already gathered; they looked somewhat familiar, many of them having been seen in yesterday's instance.
"Some of you may have already learned about me at last night's banquet, but I will still formally introduce myself."
"Hello everyone, my name is Heier, and I am the new Swordsmanship Teacher."
"From now on, I will be teaching your morning Swordsmanship classes."
"If anyone has any questions, you can raise your hand and express them; I will do my best to answer them."
Liens spoke calmly to the students in front of him.
"Teacher, you look a bit young; do you really have the ability to teach us?"
A yellow-haired student casually raised his hand and, in a flippant tone, questioned Liens's ability.
After he spoke, the students who had originally intended to raise their hands immediately withdrew them.
"I just look relatively young… As for whether I have the ability to teach you?"
"I don't know what your abilities are like, but your Locke Teacher has already recognized my ability."
"I suppose I should be qualified to teach all of you."
Liens glanced at the yellow-haired student, then continued to respond calmly.
"Teacher, Teacher… What is your relationship with Nimophila Teacher?"
"This morning, we saw you and Nimophila alone here."
After the yellow-haired student, another student enthusiastically raised his hand, curiously asking Liens about the morning gossip.
"Nimophila Teacher and I are just colleagues."
"Please do not spread rumors, as that would negatively impact Nimophila Teacher's reputation."
Liens calmly explained again.
In reality, he and Nimophila were indeed just colleagues.
But in the instance, they were opponents, enemies who sought to put each other to death.
However, the instance could not affect reality, so, right now, he and Nimophila were truly just colleagues.
As for whether it would evolve into a "I stab her with a sword, she punches me" kind of mortal enmity in the future, he did not know.
"Alright, if there are no more special questions, let's begin today's Swordsmanship instruction."
Seeing that the questions might veer towards gossip, Liens directly halted the Q&A session and formally entered the teaching phase.
Since he had no experience as a teacher, he directly copied the instructor's teaching method.
That is, demonstrating and explaining Basic Swordsmanship a few times, then answering the questions students encountered regarding it, and finally letting them practice individually or find someone to spar with.
Of course, Liens was not as harsh as the instructor, who would make them practice continuously without rest.
Similarly, he would not whip them to correct them when they made mistakes during practice.
He was not harsh, but he was not diligent either.
Only when a student actively approached him with a question would Liens take responsibility and provide an answer.
At other times, he would quietly sit aside, contemplating Swordsmanship, contemplating the use of the Wind Element, contemplating the fusion of man and nature…
"Although this Heier Teacher explains very well and teaches well."
"But I always feel like he's even lazier than Locke Teacher."
"At least Locke Teacher would walk around and pretend to ask about our practice."
A student frowned slightly as he watched Liens.
"No… I think Heier Teacher is much better than Locke Teacher."
"You might think Heier Teacher is perfunctory, but the Teacher has explained everything that needed to be explained in great detail."
"The rest just requires our diligent practice."
"Moreover, Heier Teacher can give very direct and clear answers to everyone who actively asks a question."
"In my opinion, he is a very formidable person." The latest chapters are always available first on *.
"Much better than Locke, who likes to boast and can't explain things clearly when teaching."
Another student shook his head, refuting the previous student's view, and expressed his approval and respect for Liens.
He was also one of the few students brave enough to actively ask Liens questions.
Why say that?
Because Liens, when he entered a "meditative state," gave the students a feeling that he was no longer quite human.
He was clearly sitting there quietly, they could see him by turning their heads, and approach him in a few steps.
But every student who looked at Liens had a strange feeling that the person in front of them was not a human… but rather wind, water, mountains, nature, a part of everything in the world.
That eerie feeling caused many students to not dare to disturb Liens in that state.
In this situation, anyone with a bit of sense could realize Liens's extraordinary existence.
But precisely because of this, they did not dare to go up, fearing that they would offend such an extraordinary existence.
Even the yellow-haired student, who had originally intended to ask Liens for guidance, now extinguished the thought in his heart.
Instead, he was now secretly glad that he hadn't acted impulsively just now.
"Nonsense… Who here doesn't realize that Heier Teacher is a very formidable person?"
"I just regret that Heier Teacher doesn't seem to have the intention of seriously teaching us."
"If only I had asked more questions during the Q&A session earlier."
The refuted student sighed with a look of regret.
"Don't… I advise you not to ask random questions."
A student suddenly interjected, preparing to dispel his idea.
"Why?"
The refuted student asked, confused.
"You'd best think carefully about what questions you want answers to before going to ask Heier Teacher."
"Otherwise, if you waste Heier Teacher's time… even if Heier Teacher doesn't care, you'll probably be beaten half to death by others."
"Have you read storybooks? Heier Teacher, right now, is an opportunity for everyone."
"Many people's hope of entering the Royal Capital Knight Order might just lie here."
"Everyone will not allow anyone to destroy this hope."
The student slowly explained.
"Uh…"
The refuted student instantly choked.
At the same time, he also noticed that many classmates around him had silently fixed their gazes on him.
Frightened, he quickly began practicing his sword, no longer speaking.
…
When focused, time always passed quickly.
When the bell for class dismissal rang, many students looked at Liens leaving the external training grounds with reluctance.
Even the exquisitely beautiful and curvaceous Nimophila Teacher had never received such fervent gazes.
It made Liens almost think that he had entered some academy with an abnormal sexual orientation.
His steps leaving the indoor training grounds quickened considerably.
Later, Liens only found out after asking in the instance that they were simply eager for knowledge.
Of course, even if they were extremely eager to improve, Liens would not change his decided teaching plan.
He had already fulfilled this responsibility as a teacher adequately; as for doing better…
He didn't have the energy for that.
