"I was just saying." Calum shrugged.
Russel shook his head in exasperation, whereas Teresa only giggled. Diov cracked a small grin at their reactions. "Yeah, he just is, Russel. No need to get offended."
"Not all of us are looking for a death-wish." Russel wagged his finger at them. "Being a teacher is also shaping a future generation... that's actually pretty cool."
"Is that what Professor Jeanne is telling you?" Teresa pursed her lips.
"That's a legitimate career, but only if Russel can pull his grades up." Diov pointed out.
"We don't have to talk about that now!"
"Hey, we were just teasing. If all things fail, you can work as a Mage who sends [ Messages ] around cities," Teresa said. "If I had any affinity with magic, that would be a cushy job... but what about you, Ellynn? Are you thinking about being an Adventurer? You always do great during classes under Professor Owen."
