"You damn book worms." I mumbled in disbelief.
"Ahem..... You guys need to learn to control mana the way you want." I said in solemn voice.
"Yes, Sir."
"And, the answer for the second question is a secret." I held a cheeky smile on my face.
"Eh" "Huh?" "Nooo!!!" The students reacted as such and some acted as if the world was ending.
DING (2x)
"So, see you tomor..Ukh.... Tomorrow." A sharp pain washed over my head, it felt like my head was splitting apart.
'It's too early!!!' I screamed inwardly...
"You okay?" Isha asked as she furrowed her brows.
"...."
"Hm?" Isha tilted her head.
'Is it because it still too early?' the pain stopped much to my confusion this has happened only few times before..... I think.
"Yes, I'm okay." I smiled brightly.
"Um.. professor!" Katline called out.
"Hm?" I titled my head, puzzled by the sudden call.
"..." Isha just stared at her coldly.... I felt like it, but Isha remained expressionless.
"Do we get to learn to fight efficiently like that?" Asked Katline.
"Huh? You mean my fighting style?"
'Right, my daught.... Katline is eager to learn.' I remembered her character which was eager to learn, curious and righteous not naive.
"Yes." She nodded her head vigorously.
"Haha, Yes, of course. I'll teach anyone who wants to learn it." I said making it loud enough for everybody to hear it.
"Shall we go?" I asked Isha who was still staring at Katline coldly.
"Umm." She nodded and walked towards the door, I followed her form behind.
"I'm hungry. Care to recommend something?" I asked Isha who walked ahead of me.
"Sure, let's go." She paced up, I was a bit baffled because every time I think she will refuse, she'll agree.

"Hey, isn't she the 'Ice queen?'"
"Yes, what she doing back in the academy?"
"Didn't they say she dropped out after second year?"
The cafeteria was filled with murmurs as soon as we entered. I heard about some 'book worms' of my class calling her that and looking at her reaction I think, I shouldn't pry into it.
She walked towards a food court and ordered food for two, I was looking for seats and felt someone staring at me, I looked around and found Vinny, Jiwoo staring at me demanding an explanation, while sitting together with Katline, Katharine, Violet.
They only sat together because they are of the top 10 and Katharine and Violet knew each other since they were children.
"Isha, can we sit with them?" I looked at Isha over my shoulder, pointing at the table where Vinny and everybody else sat. Vinny and Jiwoo flinched, looking at me pointing at them.
"... Sure..." Isha answered with a long break which made me rethink what I just said to check if I said anything wrong, but she walked towards the table leaving me behind.
"Huh? Oii!!" I followed her.
"Can we sit here?" she asked politely with calm and expressionless face.
"Sister Isha!" Katharine exclaimed.
"Hello, sister." Violet greeted Isha with a smile.
"Hello." Isha smiled and sat down next to Violet, leaving a seat empty next to her.
"Eh? Sister?" I was perplexed by the new find.
"Hello, Sir Frost. I never expected you to be a professor, much less in our class." Katharine said with a bright smile.
"Neither did we..." Vinny and Jiwoo mumbled.
"Nice to see you again, Miss Katharine." I smiled and sat down next to Isha.
Katharine's eyes twinkled when I sat down, I didn't know why she was looking at me like that, I didn't care much and turned towards Vinny and Jiwoo. They stared back at me.
"Care to explain?" they asked with hoarse tone.
"What? I did say I'll teach how to fight efficiently with very little mana, didn't I?" I asked with a grin on my face.
"You didn't say you were a professor." Vinny said in a pissed off expression.
"Um, sorry to ruin your reunion, but do you guys know the professor?" Violet asked trying to make heads and tails of the situation.
"Yes, this bast-" Vinny was saying.
"Ahem.." I intervened, cutting of the curse word.
"I mean Eshwar, we fought together with him." Vinny said as he corrected himself, though he didn't sound any less rude.
"Hahaha." I chuckled.
"Do you know these?" Isha asked pointing at Vinny and Jiwoo.
"Pfft, Yeah, hmm... Do you know I went out for some time?" she has no reason to know about it, but I still asked her because if she knew it would make it a bit easier to explain. I didn't expect her to know.....
"Yes." Isha nodded.
"Huh?" I was taken aback for a second.
"How do know?"
".... I just need to knock on the next door, isn't it?" she asked.
'I mean, I guess, but I was gone for days though....'
"Ahem, we fought monsters together at that time." I said with a grin, knowing what going to come...
"What were you students doing in at place where monsters spawn?" Isha asked as furrowed her brows at Vinny and Jiwoo.
'Hahahaha.' I laughed inwardly.
"Stop grinning, why did you go to the monster zone when you are becoming a professor the next day?" Isha glared at me, forcing me stop grinning and sit straight.
"Don' t do anything stupid just because you are strong." Isha roared.
"Yes, ma'am." All three of us answered simultaneously. The girls giggled while looking at us.
"I can't believe you.. haaa." Isha sighed and food came.
Pasta, vegetable stew and water was the order she made.
'Geh...'
"Um..." I pushed the vegetable stew towards Isha.
"What?" Isha asked with a calm face but I felt like she was really pissed off at me, I didn't know why, what and how I should respond or react to that.
"..... I don't like vegetables." I said in a whisper which was heard by everyone for my bad luck, soon the table was filled with snickers and giggles.
"... Ahem, eat them." She said while her lips twitched.
