"He's not here?"
Inside the room filled with teacher, calling it Faculty Room. Luginas asks a higher rank teacher official about the whereabouts of the Director Grunt. But who would have thought she's not here ever since?
'That girl, did she really leave this place under my care!? Where'd she go!?' So he thought.
Luginas thinks that Grunt is playing a game of hide and seek and thinking that her world revolves only in him and the Tower of Cacophony even though he's aware that she's also a Guild Elder, he think she's only fooling around.
At this same time, Grunt is somewhere where with other Elders and have an urgent meeting.
Luginas simultaneously didn't try to bother, learning she's not here so he placed his head above his table and closed his eyes.
The teachers here is also renowned people in their respective field but Luginas finds it troublesome so he never try to talk to them ever since.
"Is he really the Guild Leader? He seemed uninterested in many things" one man with bespectacled body asks others. Although he's a warrior on his own field, messing with the Guild Leader is not in his vocabulary. After all, he's only at B-class former adventurer at most. But this time, he doubted this man with uncouth manner.
"I don't know, and he always ask the whereabouts of Director, maybe he's only sucking up to him?" Another man commented.
"Shhh, everyone, please refrain yourself from talking at the back of your co-teacher...you have to understand that teachers here couldn't be trifled with, I'm sure the Director won't hire Sir Gin Von Grumble for a whim" the neighbouring teacher next to Luginas, a lady with eyeglasses commented from the two. She just came in a few moments ago and happen to hear the two antagonizing teacher Gin.
"Sorry teacher Mana...we know that, but"
"Its alright, I also just hate people talking on my back just don't let your judgement fool you...sir Gin seemed responsible in my opinion" Teacher Mana commented again.
"In your opinion? Did you see how his students repeat their everyday lives? They're training and using only one element. What's more, he's a homeroom teacher of the elite class...if this insanity won't stop then those geniuses will suffer in the long run!" The second man stated the fact but----
"Did the students from the Elite class, complained even once?"
From her word, the two couldn't open their mouth, speechless.
"Those elite class is a prideful students and there's even a princess and princes and other noble among with them, there's no way you can't hear any complain if they don't like his lesson, am I right?" Hearing her words with apathetic and cold gaze, the two did not complain any further.
Ordeal Mana...she's one of few former A-Class Adventurer and quite popular in her era. So, her reasonable evaluation and conclusion made the duo stopped their mouth.
Noticing that they cannot rebut anymore, she seated next to Luginas. "Thanks" is what she only heard from the sleeping man who uses his arm as a pillow.
She can't speak no longer. They talked in low voice and even far from him, if he ever heard them its just a mutter of noises but to think he heard them all? Mana couldn't help but smile and started her work.

Eating his portion of meal, alone(?)...Luginas find himself surprisingly encircled by his students. And he don't have any acquaintance in Faculty Room, he decided to eat in the canteen ever since. But he didn't knew his students gathers here in one place. There's also some who shares with neighbouring table.
"What are you doing, swarming me like a horde of monsters?" Although he didn't intended to joke, his students laugh an earful.
"What's your problem? You making fun of your teacher?" So he asks, whilst one of them prompted---
"Teacher seemed a bit lonely so we decided to share a table with you! hehehe"
"Lonely my ass, I'd prefer solitary life and eating is one of them, so shooo..." But even waving his hand to push them away. His students started conversing at each other and eating their meal.
"Tsk" So he clicked his tongue. And to not feel awkward, one of his students say, "Teacher! All of us can create Magic Bullets now! Although Kingsley and Rumi is the only person who successfully targetted it by now!"
"And? What you want me to do? You want chocolates? Sorry I'm currently broke" Again, from Luginas declaration, all of them laugh ebullient which pissed their teacher.
"Teacher you're joking. Kingsley and Rumi is the prince and princess of their respective kingdom, why would they ask for a chocolate for a reward?"
"Ow then you guys want an even bigger reward?"
"Pffft, hahahahaha" Again they laugh. 'This shitty students, what they really want? Its getting on my nerve!' So Luginas thought and sparks started to form in each of his finger making his students stopped their earful of laugh.
"Seriously, teacher your comprehension is beyond the norm. How about a congratulatory word?" It was Elle this time who suggested. She knew Luginas is kind of weird but to think his weirdness is beyond of what she thought.
"Oho, is that so...alright congratulations, little lion and snob princess"
"W-what did you call me??"
"Ahh, princess relax!"
"Ahh, Rumi please!"
From Luginas word, Rumi stands from her seat but Luginas didn't seemed to bother.
"I'm alright calling little lion by teacher, though" Kingsley commented. He cussed out Luginas the last time but his admiration is much higher than how he hated him. Of course he's not alone, almost all of his classmates did so the same too.
"I hate to admit but teacher has a habit of giving us a weird name" the girl with cyan colored bob hair, commented. "He even called me B-blue Octopus! Kya~" but surprisingly, she blushed with hands covers her face.
"S-seriously Ueno! What's wrong with you!?" Another girl shakes Ueno's shoulder who seemed daze and in bliss. Did she really enjoy calling by that name?
'This girl, is another weirdo masochist!' Elle thought so.
Luginas at the same time didn't mind this children and continue eating his portions of meal.
