Leonel stared at the screen.
He rubbed his temples.
"...So what you're telling me… is that I now have to be a teacher?"
📢 DING! [Yes! :D]
Leonel groaned.
"WHO EVEN WANTS ME AS A TEACHER?!"
Just then—
The throne room doors burst open.
A group of tiny goblins and young trainee knights ran inside, their eyes filled with admiration.
— "MASTER NIGHTSHADE! PLEASE TEACH US HOW TO BE AS COOL AS YOU!"
Leonel's soul left his body.
"...Kill me now."
📢 DING! [Sorry, but that's not an option! Good luck, Professor Villain!]
___________________________________________
Leonel was now standing in front of a classroom.
Yes.
A literal classroom.
One of his goblin assistants had apparently set it up overnight.
There were blackboards, tiny desks, and rows of young trainees staring at him with excitement.
Leonel slowly turned to the system screen.
"...Are you telling me this castle had a SCHOOL THE ENTIRE TIME?!"
📢 DING! [A villain must always be prepared to educate the masses!]
Leonel buried his face in his hands.
___________________________________________
Leonel sighed and looked at the expectant students.
Fine.
If he had to do this… he was going to teach the most ridiculous nonsense possible.
He cleared his throat.
— "Alright, lesson one: How to Look Evil Without Actually Doing Anything."
The students gasped in awe.
— "A MASTERCLASS!"
— "PLEASE TEACH US, LORD NIGHTSHADE!"
Leonel smirked.
— "Step one: Always have a cape."
The goblins furiously took notes.
— "STEP ONE: CAPE! UNDERSTOOD!"
Leonel nodded seriously.
— "Step two: Mysteriously look out of windows for no reason."
The knights whispered among themselves.
— "Genius… pure genius…"
Elara, watching from the back of the room, facepalmed.
— "I hate this place."
___________________________________________
At the end of the lesson, Leonel was feeling strangely accomplished.
Maybe—just maybe—teaching wasn't so bad after all.
But just as he was about to dismiss the class…
📢 DING! [New Guest Arriving!]
The doors slammed open.
And standing there was—
PRINCESS ISABELLA. AGAIN.
Leonel felt his soul physically exit his body.
— "WHY IS SHE BACK?!"
Isabella grinned.
— "Oh, don't mind me. I just heard that you were teaching a class… so I decided to ENROLL."
Leonel choked on air.
— "YOU WANT TO WHAT?!"
📢 DING! [New Student Unlocked: Princess Isabella of Avalon!]
Leonel stared at the system notification.
Then he slowly turned back to his students.
Then back to the system.
Then back to Isabella.
And finally, back to the system again.
"...I quit."
📢 DING! [You cannot quit! >:D]
Leonel collapsed onto his desk.
