Two days later…
Duralp, who came to school early in the morning, had a very difficult last two days. While Eiderd was constantly lying down and enjoying himself because he thought he was expelled from the academy, Tauriel was constantly training because she could not accept the thought of being expelled from the academy.
Durualp first tried to lie down like Eiderd, but after a few hours he burst out of boredom. He quickly got up and went to train like Tauriel. When he entered his room after a few hours of exercise, he was miserable.
Duralp looked at Eiderd and Tauriel. The stressful states of these two were the exact opposite of each other. While one was a leading slacker, the other was a workout freak. Whichever one Durualp wanted to be close to, he was miserable. He needed to talk to someone, but they weren't the type to talk to. The right person was Demir.
Chatting with that village boy was good for Durualp. He neither talked too much nor underestimated the other person. He had all the characteristics that a normal friend should have. In fact, there was another reason for Durualp's closeness to Demir.
As far as he knew, almost nothing important had happened in Demir's life. That's why Demir would listen with excitement when Durualp told him about his own experiences. The sense of superiority that came from the adventures he had experienced made Durualp feel like he was important and respected. The feeling of being superior to Demir, at least a little, covered the feeling of humiliation he felt in others.
…
Now Durualp, who quickly entered his classroom, was very happy to see Demir in the classroom. He increased his speed to get rid of these two sexes next to him as soon as possible and quickly came to Demir,
- Good morning Demir. How are you?
- Good morning. I'm fine Durualp, thank you. How are you?
- I'm not fine. Teacher Ayla said to come early in the morning. I came, but I'm very nervous. I wonder how our test results turned out. I hope they don't kick us out of the academy.
- (When a possibility he had never thought of suddenly attacked his brain like a lightning bolt, Demir's heart filled with uneasiness. But when he remembered Dean Noyan's words to observe his surroundings, he calmed down a little) I don't think they will. Didn't you see how they applauded when we were taking the test? If our results were bad, they wouldn't have applauded us like that.
- I guess you're right. If we had been expelled, Teacher Ayla wouldn't have called us to class, right?
Noticing Eiderd walking by them with calm steps at that moment, Demir looked at her with his sharp gaze and then returned to his conversation with Durualp. Eiderd, who had gone to his seat and sat down, was grumbling to himself because he had overheard the two of them talking.
- How stupid are these villagers' optimistic thoughts. They're still waiting with hope. They probably won't believe it until they hear it with their own ears that we've been expelled from the academy...
Eiderd's condescending gaze had started to look out the window when Teacher Ayla entered the classroom.
- Good morning, children.
- (Demir) Good morning, my teacher.
Teacher Ayla went to her desk and put down the things in her hand, then came to the middle of the class and started her speech,
- Since I know you are very curious, I will get straight to the point.
As you know, a meeting was held after your element test to evaluate your results. Although the meeting took a while, you were all accepted to the academy in the end…
I am very happy for you… I congratulate you all…
While Eiderd looked at Teacher Ayla in surprise when he heard that they were not expelled from the academy, Durualp and Tauriel stood up with enthusiasm. When Demir also stood up, Durualp hugged Demir and then Tauriel. When the trio congratulated each other joyfully and sat down again, Teacher Ayla continued her speech.
- Now that you are an official student, your educational program will also be rearranged. In addition to your personal lessons and duties, you will also have common lessons and duties. However, I will now inform you of your assigned places…
- (Seeing Eiderd raise his hand) Yes, Eiderd, were you going to say something?
- Teacher Ayla, weren't we really kicked out of the academy?
- No, you were not kicked out. Of course, this does not mean that no matter what you do, you will never be fired. As of now, you are with us for a while longer. Work hard and be careful with your behavior so that you don't lose your place… (When Eiderd sat down after being scolded, Teacher Ayla continued where she left off) Let's continue without getting off topic…
Starting tomorrow, your physical education and practice lessons will be held in the informal education building in full. In other words, since you are now an official student, you will learn the martial arts of our academy. I will distribute the books you will need for your education in a moment.
You will go to the department you are assigned to every two days and work under their supervision. You will also have academic and cultural classes one day a week. And your lessons will be taught in this classroom. Follow up well and don't miss your classes. If you miss class without an excuse, you can be sure that you will receive a big penalty in return…
Now, coming to the departments you were assigned to:
Tauriel, since you are prone to water, you will go to the health unit, to Ms. Esin...
Durualp, you have been appointed to the administrative and general affairs department. Don't forget to go to Chief Atay and meet with him...
Eiderd, you... I feel sorry for you, but believe me, there was nothing I could do. You have the fire element, so our academy has placed you with the best fire element teacher we have, so that you can develop in the best way…
(While Eiderd was curiously waiting to see who his new teacher was, Teacher Ayla revealed the painful truth to him.) Eiderd, you will continue your education with Instructor Sarp.
(Teacher Ayla left Eiderd and turned to Demir and continued her speech) Demir, you will come here every two days. Since you don't have enough knowledge about the elements along with academic and cultural lessons, we will focus on these for now...
Eiderd, who has been demoralized since she heard that she would be working with Instructor Sarp, raised her hand and asked Teacher Ayla to speak in order to get rid of this crazy man,
- Teacher Ayla, I do not want to work with Instructor Sarp. I want my place to be changed and another instructor to be assigned.
- Eiderd, you are misunderstanding something. You listen carefully, children...
As long as our academy does not offer options, you students do not have the right to choose or change anything. By choosing our academy, didn't you agree in advance that you would abide by all the rules of our academy? Now I really don't understand why you reacted like this.
According to the information I was given, it seems that no student can change their place. If you still want to object, you can go to our student affairs department.
Not wanting to be seen as someone who caused trouble from the very first day, Eiderd accepted her fate and quietly sat down in her seat while Tauriel raised her hand to speak,
- Teacher Ayla, when will we start using the elements?
- When your body is strong enough. I know some of you think you have already met the requirements, but you only have the capacity to use it a few times at most. Besides, you haven't learned our martial arts yet. What do you expect to use?
(Teacher Ayla glanced at Demir and then added) Also, wouldn't it be unfair to your other classmates if we tried to give you lessons now? Do you want them to watch you while you use the elements?
When the class becomes strong enough, that's when our element usage lessons will begin. Until then, make sure you've strengthened yourself well...
… … …
Teacher Ayla talked for a while longer and then distributed the training books to the children. Demir was relieved when he saw that the book distributed was "Fundamentals of the North Wind - Beginning". He knew the content of the book because he worked with Kunt. When happiness reflected on his face, Teacher Ayla continued her speech.
- Our lesson for today ends here. Everyone should go to the department they were assigned to, introduce themselves, and learn about their assignments and the work they will do.
Your training starts tomorrow morning...
Children, I congratulate you again...
When Teacher Ayla left the classroom, the children, who were surprised but also happy, looked through the training book in their hands for a while and then left the classroom and headed towards the department they were assigned to...
