Mr. Silver was completely different from Mr. Frank. The first thing he did was give the students a pop quiz.
"I'll be handing out sheets of papers for you all to answer. Don't worry, this will not affect your grade. It's only there so I can get a general idea of where you all are at." [Mr. Silver]
The students' thoughts were composed of "Are you serious?" or "This sucks..."
("I just realized Mr. Frank never gave us any quizzes or tests. Does that make him a bad or a good teacher?") [Adam]
"I think he's a good teacher." [Krino]
("What makes you say that?") [Adam]
"Because he's teaching you how to survive instead of just having knowledge." [Krino]
("Really now? Never noticed.") [Adam]
When his quiz was given to him, Adam immediately felt uneasy.
("No… No way…") [Adam]
"Something wrong?" [Krino]
("I don't know any of this!") [Adam]
The quiz was composed of middle school elements. Unfortunately, Adam barely passed middle school because he was only good at hands-on learning. Seeing such a test before him was like a nightmare.
("What do I do? Krino, do you know any of this?") [Adam]
"I'm a goddamn sword. How would I know?" [Krino]
Adam tried to do the good 'ol stretch and peek over at Felix's paper. Whenever Felix sat next to Adam, he would usually let Adam sneak a peek at his answers.
("Wh-what?! It's… a version B paper?") [Adam]
The quizzes had two different versions to prevent cheating. It was a huge blow to Adam.
("Urgh… Then I'll just have to guess!") [Adam]
After five minutes passed, the papers were passed up to the front and collected.
"Do I have everyone's papers? Good, then take out your textbooks." [Mr. Silver]
"Huh?!" [Class]
During the time Mr. Frank was their teacher, they only had hands-on learning. There was also never a time when they had to use a textbook so it confused the students.
("Did we even get textbooks?!") [Adam]
The class just awkwardly sat there not knowing what to do.
"Did none of you bring your textbooks?" [Mr. Silver]
He seemed quite disappointed in the class.
"Nevermind… I'll just write some things down on the board. Just take notes." [Mr. Silver]
He began to draw equations on the board.
"We will be using the quadratic formula for this." [Mr. Silver]
("M-math?! I thought we were over it!") [Adam]
The class appeared more confused than before. For the remainder of the lesson, Mr. Silver switched between subjects until the bell rang.
"Hm? Looks like class is over. I'll see you all tomorrow." [Mr. Silver]
He left the class before any students were able to stand up. A few seconds later, the class started to pack up.
"Wait!" [Felix]
Everyone froze. Felix walked up to the front with a commanding presence.
"I would like everyone to take a moment to listen to what I have to say." [Felix]
Everyone already knew Felix. He was actually quite popular. Not only has his level 8 ability increased his reputation, his performance in the tournament and against Mr. Frank made him famous. When he asked everyone to listen, they all stopped what they were doing and sat back down.
"I'm sure that you all are unsatisfied with the new teacher, Mr. Silver." [Felix]
Many students nodded in agreement.
"I have a proposal for everyone. Why don't we just bring Mr. Frank back?" [Felix]
"How are we supposed to do that?" [Alex]
"Good question. We're going to have to steal information about Mr. Frank from the faculty office." [Felix]
"How?" [Jessica]
"Some of you guys are going to be a distraction. While some other students will swipe it while the teachers aren't looking." [Felix]
"And who will be that distraction." [Student]
"Uhm, before that. Can I get your name?" [Felix]
"We've been in this class together for at least three weeks and you don't know your classmates name?" [Student]
"I was kind of busy with things. Actually, why don't we all take this moment to introduce ourselves?" [Felix]
The class restless, unsure if they should go along. Adam stood up and volunteered.
"I'll start. My name is Adam, my ability is Compression. A level one ability." [Adam]
He looked at the person next to him signaling that they should introduce themselves as well.
"My name is Alex, my ability is Air Manipulation, a level 4 ability." [Alex]
They continued for a while until it went around the entire class.
"Is that everyone? Then I will now be deciding the roles." [Felix]
He scanned the room and picked out a few students.
"Alex, Orion, and Tiffany. You will be the distraction team." [Felix]
"What will the distraction be?" [Alex]
"Make it a fake fight or something. Or make a registered duel outside the faculty office. I want you guys to either make a huge fuss or destroy some parts of the building so that the teachers will come out. If you're worried about getting hurt, Tiffany will be on standby for healing." [Felix]
"Won't we have to pay for the damages?" [Orion]
"As long as you make it a registered duel, any damages will be paid for by the government." [Felix]
He began to pick out a few more people.
"Adam, Brandon, and I will be part of the stealing team." [Felix]
"Why did you pick me?" [Brandon]
"You're ability is duplication isn't it? I want you to copy all of Mr. Frank's information so we can put the original back." [Felix]
"How will we know where his information is?" [Alex]
"It was only one day since he left, so his desk should still have his belongings. Let's just try to copy what we can carry out." [Felix]
"Isn't that a lot of stuff? That's an entire desk there." [Alex]
"The game plan is to have Brandon duplicate Mr. Frank's stuff. After, Adam will use zero point to carry the duplicate. Next, I'll use warp to teleport us out." [Felix]
The class agreed on the plan and began to set it in motion. Felix had prepared small spaces where everyone could communicate.
"Team Distraction, are you ready?" [Felix]
"All set." [Alex]
"Begin Operation Frank." [Felix]
A loud explosion was heard down the hallway. The teachers ran out of the faculty room to check what was going on only to see Orion and Alex fighting. Tiffany was acting as if she were trying to stop them. The two pulled out their IDs and began a registered duel.
"Duel will commence in 3." [ID]
The teachers began to take bets on who would win as they stood in the hallway.
"I'm teleporting us in. Warp!" [Felix]
Holding Adam and Brandon by the shoulder, their surroundings changed into the office.
"We're here, look for Mr. Frank's desk." [Felix]
They did a quick scan of the room and found a desk with a laptop that looked similar to what Mr. Frank usually held.
"Found it!" [Adam]
"Let me copy it real quick." [Brandon]
He raised his hands and yelled, "Duplicate!" Suddenly, an exact copy of the desk appeared out of thin air.
"My turn. Zero Point!" [Adam]
The Desk was now floating while containing all of its contents.
"Alright, let's get out of here. Warp!" [Felix]
They reappeared in the classroom. They were met with applause from the other students who didn't participate.
"Mission accomplished. How's it going on your side, Team Distraction?" [Felix]
"We just wrapped up, Alex just forfeited." [Orion]
"Good work, come on back to the class." [Felix]
The students started scavenging the desk. Looking for any clues about Mr. Frank's whereabouts.
"Aha! I think I just found his address." [Adam]
"Let me see." [Felix]
Upon reading it, Felix realized he knew that street.
"Hey, we can go there right now." [Felix]
"What about this desk? We can't just leave it here." [Roland]
Felix looked around for a moment.
"Anyone have a fire ability here?" [Felix]
A hand was raised.
"I have one." [Jessica]
"Can you do me a favor and burn this desk? And when you're done, I need Alex to blow the ashes out the window." [Felix]
It took about 30 seconds to burn it all, but shortening the time took most of Jessica's mana.
"Looks like we're done here. Anyone want to come with me to bring back Mr. Frank?" [Felix]
Surprisingly, everyone raised their hands.
"Good. Warp!" [Felix]
He teleported all the students with him to Mr. Frank's address. Before them was a large white mansion that loomed over them. The entire building was surrounded by bushes and an incredibly large gate.
"Dang… Mr. Frank is stacked. I might become a teacher in the future if that's how much he makes." [Orion]
The gate creaked open and a person stepped outside.
"M-Mr. Silver?!" [Adam]
"Oh? Hello there kids, do you need something?" [Mr. Silver]
Mr. Silver greeted them with a smile on his face. Unsure of what was happening, Adam leaned over to Felix and lowered his voice.
"Did you get the wrong house?" [Adam]
Felix whispered back to him.
"I'm pretty sure this was the right house, let me ask him." [Felix]
He cleared his throat before asking.
"Does Mr. Frank live here?" [Felix]
Hearing that question, Mr. Silver's smile fades.
"That is correct. But it seems you children have stuck your noses too far. I will have to give you all… remedial lessons." [Mr. Silver]
("Uh oh, here we go again…") [Adam]
