"Professor Victor, I... I can't do it."
Hernie shook her head quickly, lowered her head, and didn't dare to look at Victor.
"Listen to me, Hernie."
"I have been asking you to listen to the lectures these days, just to let you learn how to take a good class."
Victor put his hand on Hernie's shoulder, and he clearly felt the other's petite body tremble slightly.
Hernie raised her head, with unspeakable worry in her eyes.
"Professor, I'm afraid that I can't do well... It will affect your reputation."
"Reputation?"
Does he have a reputation?
It is suspected of self-deprecation to say this, but he really doesn't care much about reputation.
Victor gently patted Hernie's back, calming her trembling body slightly.
The comfort worked, and he said again.
"Go."
He knew that no matter how much he said to Hernie, this naturally timid little sheep would not agree.
So Victor chose to command, not to negotiate.
Hernie knew that she couldn't refuse the professor.
The professor will be unhappy...
Hernie took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and pushed open the door of the classroom.
The originally noisy room soon calmed down, but when the students saw Hernie walking up to the podium, they still had doubts.
Where is the professor?
Why is his teaching assistant standing on the podium?
Feeling the students' eyes wandering around her, Hernie was under great pressure.
"That..."
"The professor has something to do today, so... I will take the professor's place for a class..."
The voice became smaller and smaller, and the last two words were like the sound of a mosquito flying, so small that even she could hardly hear it.
When the voice fell, it was as if a bomb was dropped on the calm water.
Along with the explosion in the water, the fish chirped.
"Impossible..."
"She is just an assistant, how can she take the professor's place in the class?"
"Let's not talk about whether the professor allows it, does she have the ability to teach?"
"We want Professor Victor to teach! If our grades drop, can you bear the responsibility!"
Hernie was a little embarrassed by the many students in the audience. She lowered her head, like a punching bag.
Her eyes wandered around in panic, wishing she could find a crack in the ground and quickly crawl in.
Woo woo... Professor Victor, I can't do it, I really can't do it...
Professor, please come back soon...
"Right...right..."
"Quiet!"
Hernie was startled by the sudden voice, and she raised her head quietly.
At some point, Erica, who was sitting in front, stood up.
Her surroundings were filled with magical ripples, and a delicate and complex magic circle was suspended in front of her.
Hernie had seen that magic circle.
It was a silencing magic.
Except for the user, creatures within the control range could no longer make sounds with their mouths.
"Assistant Professor Hernie, please continue."
Woo, Erica, thank you!
She was extremely grateful for Erica's help, but at the same time, she felt a little guilty.
She had just said bad things about Erica on the day the professor first came.
Unexpectedly, she was saved by the other party this time.
I will tell you the scope of the exam in advance next time!
Hernie has already thought about how to repay Erica.
"Not bad."
Victor leaned against the door, and he knew everything that happened in the room clearly.
Erica's help made Victor unexpected and very satisfied, and Hernie's fear was understandable.
He originally wanted to rely on the pressure of students to make Hernie grow up quickly, but now it seems that the effect will be counterproductive.
But letting Hernie teach is also a helpless move.
He will follow Gwen out of the city tomorrow, for as long as half a month, or as short as a week.
In any case, if he wants to keep his position as a professor, he can't abandon the courses of this group of students.
So Victor thought of Hernie.
His lessons were originally written by Hernie, so there is absolutely no problem with her ability.
The only thing he needs to worry about is her timidity.
He needs Hernie to overcome this personally and let Hernie know that she is capable of teaching these students well.
With the help of Erica, the classroom environment became quiet.
Hernie took a deep breath to adjust her mood, and finally she was able to muster up the courage to start teaching.
She talked about the content written on the speech manuscript, which she had already memorized.
Soon, Hernie got into her own rhythm and became more and more comfortable when teaching.
Victor, who was peeping throughout the whole process, nodded. Hernie was undoubtedly talented in teaching.
The students also went from questioning at the beginning, to doubt, and finally surprised.
They realized that Hernie's rhythm of teaching was perfect, giving people a feeling.
It was as if Professor Victor was teaching in person.
In the end, they were all immersed in Hernie's class.
In the classroom, there was only Hernie's speech and the sound of writing and drawing on the book.
Heni paused while speaking.
Because this section requires the teacher to demonstrate a magic.
Second-level magic: [Star Shatter]
Because Professor Victor is a powerful third-level wizard, she wrote the content of the subject from Professor Victor's perspective when preparing for the class.
Unexpectedly, it was a stumbling block for herself.
She was just a magic apprentice.
Even if she knew the theory of this magic, she didn't have the magic power to support her to use it.
Although she was panicked, she quickly calmed down.
"Student Erica, can you show this magic to everyone?"
She knew she was gambling, gambling on whether Erica would help her again.
Fortunately, she made the right bet.
Erica calmly walked up to the podium and took the magic book from Heni's hand. The magic principle of [Star Shatter] was clearly recorded on it.
The level of details even made her not need to use her brain much, just conceived the magic array, and she could easily release it.
She raised one hand and tried to use this magic for the first time.
"[Star Shatter]!"
A mysterious ripple set off ripples.
In the air, bright morning stars appeared one after another.
Like a painting, they formed the pattern of the magic circle.
And just when it was about to take shape, it suddenly disappeared in the air.
Just when many students were confused.
Thu thu thu!
I don't know when and from which direction it appeared.
Countless tiny spikes seemed to be generated in an instant, and they were all nailed to the wooden man in the classroom.
Seeing the wooden man with holes pierced by countless broken stars, the students' hearts stopped for half a beat.
What a sinister attack magic!
But with Erica's demonstration process, they learned a lot faster.
"So that's it!"
They started to discuss it, not even realizing that the silencing magic released by Erica had already failed.
Heni also breathed a sigh of relief, and looked into Erica's eyes and smiled at each other.
This class ended quickly in a focused and relaxed atmosphere. As the bell rang, no student showed dissatisfaction.
This class still benefited them a lot.
At the same time, they also had a lot of respect for Heni.
She is worthy of being Professor Victor's teaching assistant. Ordinary lecturers may not be as good as her!
"Professor Victor's teaching assistant is so excellent!"
"Yes, yes!"
Heni walked in front of Erica. She wanted to thank the girl who was willing to stand up in class.
"Thank you, Erica."
"If it weren't for you, I would be embarrassed in this class."
Erica smiled at her privately, waved her hand and continued:
"It's just a small matter."
Heni whispered in Erica's ear: "I really don't know why the professor insisted on letting me give the lecture, it's obviously his own job."
Erica was a little confused when she heard this.
But doubts alone can't solve the problem.
Erica originally planned to go to Victor's office to ask about today's problem. Seeing this, the two planned to go together to ask clearly.
At the same time, Victor sat at the table in the office, drinking coffee and flipping through the magic book.
As early as he saw that Heni had adapted, he secretly came back to slack off.
The leisure time at dusk was mixed with the friction sound of turning pages.
It was very comfortable.
But the peaceful time was always short.
At the reminder of the magic tower, he agreed to Heni and Erica's permission to teleport.
The afterglow of the teleportation magic gradually dissipated.
The next second, the two young and beautiful girls appeared in front of him.
"Professor..."
Heni's voice was still so timid, as if he would eat her inadvertently.
The friction sound of turning pages did not stop, and Victor did not look up, as if he was chatting casually.
"Today's class was good."
"How do you feel?"
Heni stroked her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thanks to Erica, it went smoothly."
"If there is a next time, I will definitely not be so scared."
Erica, who was feeding Vega, turned around and gave Heni a look in return.
Only then did Heni remember her purpose. She was not here to ask for Victor's praise.
"Professor, why do you want me to take this class for you?"
Snap.
Victor closed the book and placed the exquisite bound volume on the table. He looked at Heni and responded calmly.
"I'm going out and will be back in a while."
Heni didn't feel anything when she heard this.
But Erica, who was feeding Vega, trembled with her little hand and the bird food fell on the table.
'Hey, little girl, if you want to feed me, feed me well! '
Vega protested dissatisfiedly, but Erica definitely couldn't hear it.
She ignored Vega's chirping and pricked up her ears to listen carefully.
"So I want to test you to see if you are qualified to be our class teacher."
Heni was stunned.
"Professor, are you...testing me?"
Victor said 'hmm' and gave her a faint smile in return.
Even though the arc of the corner of his mouth was almost invisible.
"Well done, I believe you will become an excellent lecturer."
"Professor, wu...wuwuwu!"
Seemingly getting unexpected recognition, Heni finally couldn't hold back her emotions and cried out.
But Erica was still confused.
Eh? What? Victor is leaving? How long will it take to come back?
I don't know why, but when I heard that Victor was going away, Erica felt a little disappointed.
This evening after class, she could learn a lot from Victor.
But if Victor left.
She seemed to have no reason to come here.
Although Victor didn't really leave, but just went out for a few days, she was still a little depressed.
However, another voice sounded in her mind.
'Great, this bastard is leaving! '
"It's good that he left. I won't see him if he leaves. Out of sight, out of mind!"
She quickly adjusted her mood and shrugged.
Even without Victor's education, she was still the genius mage.
"By the way."
Victor turned his head and glanced at Erica.
"What questions did you bring today?"
"Hurry up and finish, I can go home after I teach you."
"..."
He even remembered that he would come to ask questions.
It was as if with a 'click' sound, a crack appeared in the psychological defense line that Erica had built with great difficulty.
She lowered her head and took out the questions she had prepared long ago and walked towards Victor.
But for some reason.
She was a little absent-minded.
....
In the evening, Leah walked into Victor's study.
"The store has been decorated."
These days, Leah has been dealing with store affairs in the capital.
So she has not returned to the territory recently, but lives here directly.
But there is already her room here.
Victor closed the book and wanted to talk to Leah about the price.
Leah said to him: "One thousand geos."
This price is not cheap for consumables sold in the capital, but it is very reasonable.
This potion is definitely worth this price.
If you can sell fifty bottles a day, you can directly receive 50,000 geos.
The cost is just a tree fruit, which is not common, but it is at most ten Geo.
This is a great profit.
Victor nodded, and this price was within his expectations.
No matter how expensive it is, it is not worth it, and the cheap price is not worthy of its amazing effect.
"By the way, remember to limit it. One person can only buy two bottles a day."
"Why?"
Leah was a little confused. This magic potion is expensive in itself. It was a problem whether anyone would buy it at the beginning, and it was limited in quantity?
Isn't he afraid that the goods will be stored and cannot be sold?
Victor gave an explanation:
"In the early stage, I would rather make less money and spread the effect of this potion."
"In the end, the more people know, the more money you will make."
Listening to his explanation, Leah's beautiful eyes were full of light and she was amazed.
"I now think that you are more like a businessman than me."
It was as if she had met Victor for the first time in more than ten years.
She yawned, as if she thought of something, and asked casually. "Oh yeah, are you really going to go to that... volcano with Gwen?"
"Yeah." Victor nodded.
"Okay."
Liya muttered and waved her hand.
"Don't die outside, so I don't have to spend money to collect your body."
"I'm going to bed."
After that, he patted his cheek and turned to leave Victor's study.
Seeing Liya leave, Vega raised his head, and his eyes regained the light of humanity.
"Is your sister caring about you?"
"I thought you had a bad relationship."
"It's true, but it has improved in recent days." Victor knocked on the table, and a bottle of blue potion appeared in his palm and he fiddled with it.
"Why, how did you do it?" Vega wondered.
Victor put the blue potion on the table and explained.
"Because I can make money."
