Chapter 16 - A Teacher

Three hours later, Moona came out of the training hall and entered the mansion. She saw Alex and her mom talking with each other. She walked in front of Alex and showed her frustrated expression.

"Did it hit you so hard?" Alex asked after noticing her expression. He understood what must have happened in the training hall.

"Teacher….. is my talent really that low?" Moona asked as her eyes turned red.

"H—e-e… he mastered his Fireball Spell so easily and now used it as a Conjuring spell just after I finished explaining to him. Not only that, he even managed to transform his fireball into different shapes and increased the power of his attacks."

"Why is there such a difference between us? And, if his talent is really that great, why isn't it rank still so low?"

Originally, she thought his talent was only a bit higher than hers since he was only one rank higher than her. But, now seeing his talent, she didn't understand what went wrong.

"Hah! I thought so. Don't worry, it wasn't your fault that he comprehended Fireball Spell's true nature so fast. His talent is the sixth tier while yours is two. There will obviously be a difference. But, don't worry, his mana training won't be that fast."

"His talent is kind of a curse and a blessing at the same time. He is a wild card which is why I recruited him into my academy." Alex smiled and explained to her but his explanation was still lacking as she didn't understand why he was a wild card.

Suddenly, his previous fight with her teacher appeared in her mind. Her eyes widened as she asked, "Teacher, is he a wild card because his strength can grow amid a battle?"

Alex nodded his head and said "His talent is quite unique. The Body of Lust! It is one of the seven origin constitutions of the Supreme Devil. He has the power to grow stronger by influencing his own lust."

"If you haven't noticed it yet, his rank is only one stage higher than yours despite having such a large talent gap. Why do you think so? It's simply because he can't absorb mana as you do."

"It's quite indecent to talk about sex with my student but since he is your fellow student, you should know that his rank only grows when he has sex with someone with a higher rank than his."

"More importantly, he can't use the power of his lust on others. Normally, a person with the such constitution should be able to influence the lust of others and use them as tools to improve his rank."

"But, he doesn't have that talent rather the lust influences himself. By imagining anything lustful, he can increase his powers. You have already seen how strong he gets after getting motivated, right?"

"Well, that's why he is the wild card of our academy."

"Dean, if possible, I don't want such a lustful person to be near my daughter. What if he does something to my daughter when she is defenseless?" Hearing his explanation, Jane was a bit disgusted as she spoke.

Alex looked at her with a serious expression and said "Don't worry, Moona won't be forced by him. Although there will be chances where he could do such a thing unless she wants to do it on her own wish."

"Teacher, I would never do such a thing on much own wish." Moona grumpily shouted as she stomped her foot.

Alex chuckled as he looked at her "Girl, you are still too young. You only have a crush on me because I look handsome but someday if you find someone who will win your heart, you will no longer have a crush on me. And besides, you are my student."

Hearing his words, Moona clenched her fists and ran away to her room. Seeing that, Jane sighed.

"You know, it will be harder for her to not see you as her crush?"

"I know that but she needs to accept this quickly. I don't want her to regret it later on."

"But, what if she gets the iron heart? What if she never loves anyone other than you?"

"Well, then I will accept her. I don't have any qualms against her. I just don't want her to be a mindless girl who falls for this face. After all, she is my student."

When Jane heard his words, she was a bit angry but his last words left her confused. She suspiciously looked at him and asked.

"Why do you emphasize so much being a teacher? You are not old. You are also very powerful and handsome. You can literally get hundreds of girls in your bed if you want to."

"So, why stick with being a teacher? Why stick on living inside a building instead of roaming around the world?"

Alex was surprised by her question. He didn't expect her to ask such questions but he didn't mind answering.

He simply smiled and said "Because I am a teacher. I had always been a teacher and I love teaching my students. Only by sharing knowledge and wisdom, you will gain more."

"This is my belief and I stick to my belief. And, once I take a student, I want to guide him/her on a path that they won't regret. That is why I don't want Moona to regret her decisions later on."

"After all, she is still young. If she becomes my lover and later changes her mind, it won't be hard to let her leave but I wouldn't be able to see her as my student anymore. And, that will be my regret."

"Teaching a student is the job of the teacher and a teacher mustn't be partial to his students. Of course, I don't deny that Moona will get better benefits than others since she is my first student but still, as a teacher, I want to look at my student in the teacher-student relationship."

As he spoke, Alex couldn't help but reminisce about his first life. That life was his perfect teacher life. He always wanted to be a teacher. When he was a small student, he got engrossed in the idea of teaching others to improve his knowledge.

He was kind of a person who wanted to learn more but in order to do so, he chose the route of a teacher. To teach someone, you need to learn something. And, only when you learn something, does your knowledge grow.

So, when he was in high school, he started teaching primary school kids. After he finished college, he started teaching High school kids. After he became a professor at the early age of twenty-six, he started teaching everyone.

But, he found that his desire to teach was one thing and his desire to be closer to his students was another thing. So, he didn't become a teacher that just teaches in class. He became a teacher that guides his student in their path.

And, this included some of the fun adventurous stuff. He had gone hiking and touring with his students many times. During one of those hiking, they were climbing a hill.

At that moment, a mysterious incident occurred that resulted in the purple lightning that struck and killed him in his first life. After his death or so he thought, he mysteriously got reincarnated into a young dean of an academy.

The dean had a powerful talent but his magic was quite common. His father had established an academy but due to a strange case, his father was assassinated by other academies' dean.

So, he became the new dean. Because that academy was the result of his father's hard work and it was also his father's wish that he will inherit the academy.

Blazing Youth Academy

It represented the YOUTH of different students. No matter whether you are talented or not, you are accepted as long you are willing to work hard. His academy became the destination for all kinds of students, thus slowly growing into the strongest power in the world.

But, it didn't happen because the academy was already strong. In fact, it was his Will to teach every student that enrolls in his academy no matter their talent.

The first person who joined him was Stone. He really liked Stone. Unlike others, Stone had a rare talent in flames but he worked harder than everyone else.

But unfortunately, he wasn't suited to be a dean. To be a dean, you need to love your students. Although Stone was a talented and hard worker, he never understood how to teach a student.

So, he couldn't become a dean. After all, the dean is someone that every student and teacher relies on. Dean is the center of the academy. Hence, Stone wanted to take the position of the Dean by force.

Unfortunately, he wasn't strong enough to defeat his teacher 'Alex'. So, when Alex found that treasure, he convinced others in order to ambush Alex and kill him so that he will become the next dean.

This is why Alex exiled Stone before dying. That means even if Stone used force, he can't become the Dean.

Alex shook his head and stood up as he walked toward his room. He didn't care about Jane's thoughts. In his mind, Moona was his student. She hasn't felt any love for her.

So, he won't make any move on her. And, if she wants to make some move, he won't let her do it easily. Because she is his student. OF course, if she insists, he won't turn her down.

Because Alex had already made up his mind.

'If you want to be fucked, I don't mind. But, only when I am in the mood to do so.'
