Chapter 369 Retrospect (Part 3)
After a few minutes, the professor who was to give the class arrived. His name was Max Willford, he had completely white hair and was extremely elegant. He wore a brown suit with the academy's coat of arms in the pocket of his blazer. He was one of the youngest teachers at the academy, and one of the most coveted men by all the women on the island.
He wore glasses with a silver frame, which were in the middle of his thin nose. His face was extremely handsome; he had Strogueher-like features. Although his ears were not pointed. As he began to speak, the young teacher removed one of his white gloves to hold the chalk.
With his other hand, he positioned it behind his back as he began to write on the board. The posture he maintained while standing was as perfect as his manner. It seemed that his every action was planned to be performed in the most graceful manner. To Meredith's sensitive ears, it was soon evident how popular the wizard was.
"Mr.Willford is so amazing."
"He is so well-dressed today."
"Did you see that a girl proposed to him yesterday?"
"I think I'll try my luck too."
Girls' voices all around. All talking quietly, trying not to be heard by Mr. Willford. This began to annoy the half-fox, most of the room was female. And most of the girls were gossiping about the professor.
*Tsk*
Meredith clicked her tongue.
She then crossed her arms and leaned back, the class hadn't even started and she was already tired. The smell of chalk bothering her nose seemed much better than having to listen to all these girls.
"I saw Mr.Max last week with a student?"
"Yeah, yeah! I saw him too! It was a blonde, right?"
"Exactly, I wonder if she was taking questions?"
"Hmm, but that seems a bit odd to me,"
"Oh... now I'm jealous."
Meredith then leaned back under the desk, she then continued the class dejectedly. Trying to ignore the surrounding noises. Even when he started the class, you could still hear the students gossiping, in brief moments, the teacher would look at the different groups of girls and wink at the students. The half-fox could hear the breathing of these groups getting more breathless.
This began to create an annoyance in her for the teacher, she wasn't really going for him anymore.
'I'm sure this blondie can hear what they're saying...' Meredith thought.
It was as if he let the girls talk about him during class. He seemed to want them to comment and compliment him. At one point, Meredith finally went from just disliking to actually being angry with the teacher. He blew a kiss to a group of girls next to her. He was really encouraging these girls to become his followers.
Mr. Willford was a professor of magical botany, not only that, he was also a biologist. Some magicians were also scholars of standard arts, such as mathematics, literature, and even world history. His classes were precisely about magical botany and healing practice. On his desk there were a few potted plants. He approached one that was a little larger, it was a kind of apple tree that had not yet fully grown.
Holding the trunk of the small tree with both hands, he broke it in half. However, he did not separate the two parts of the trunk. Even though it was broken, there was still a connection between the two parts.
All the girls in the room made a sound of surprise and admiration, which made the half-fox confused and more annoyed.
'He only broke a tree, what's so great about that?' she thought.
Then the white-haired mage held out his hands in front of the tree, and continued his explanation.
"As you can see, our little friend had her inner part broken in half. Unfortunately, we couldn't do much in a natural way, though. With mana manipulation magic, we can restore our friend tree." He said, soon after, his hand began to glow with a white light.
"Ikyura healing."
The moment he finished the incantation, that light went around the wood fiber. Connecting the trunk again, which gradually rose and rose. Until the two parts connected, as if the tree had never broken.
"Here in magical botany we will learn how magic directly interferes with the functioning of plants, but also my loves, we will learn how to use that magic we can learn from plants, to people" Willford said, turning to the board to continue writing.
Again the girls went wild, letting out sighs of admiration. Conversation had ceased during the explanation, but now, it was back on.
"He's so amazing."
"That spell could heal my broken heart."
"I don't need a spell, just a kiss."
All these lines were making Meredith tired and increasingly irritated. However, even with this extremely unpleasant lecture, Mr. Max's explanations were very good. Even without paying that much attention to the lecture, the half-fox was able to understand what the professor was talking about without any problems.
'I liked magical botany, and it is an important subject... But this teacher...'
Half-fox was confused. Continuing to attend these classes would be like torture for her ears, but she was interested in learning this content.
Even after the class was over, several students surrounded Mr.Max, who was smiling as he answered the girls' questions. The girls' voices were shaky, as if they were all embarrassed to talk to the teacher.
'This way of his, this guy gives me agony' thought Meredith, who was watching that group of girls from a distance, sawing her eyes.
The half-fox then left and went to the bathroom, when she came out of the bathroom. She noticed a strange voice talking nearby. It was a female voice, but it sounded a bit macabre. Sometimes it would falter, as if the person had suddenly stopped speaking in the middle of a sentence.
This noise was coming from the hallway next to the bathroom.
