Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 445 - 446: Student Doubts 2/2 [7/8]

After the clapping stopped, the students looked unsure. They had just given a warm welcome to their new teacher from Sadik Empire, led by Gari and Shaina, the big shots of the class. But now, they were having second thoughts. If they were really on board with this, they wouldn’t have gone along with Gari’s plan to begin with.

In this Star class, the students wanted real training to help them get better and stronger. Sure, the new teacher is a top beauty, but could she really be their Homeroom teacher? That role comes with a lot of responsibility, like keeping everyone safe and helping them improve. It seemed risky to give such an important job to someone with no teaching experience, even if she was from the famous Black Rose Duchy.

These last two years in the Star class are crucial for the students’ futures. They can’t afford to take risks.

So, when the room went quiet, a well-dressed young girl with elegant curls slowly raised her hand.

"Hello, Teacher Yu. I’m Lilika Jacob, from the Jacob Marquis family in Red Leaf Empire."

"Hmm?"

Yumo, who was organizing materials on the podium, paused her task and looked at the elegant young noble lady with a gentle gaze.

"What’s the matter, Lilika? Do you have a question?"

"Yes, Teacher Yu. I have a question that might be a bit rude. Please forgive me in advance."

"Don’t worry about it. Go ahead, Lilika."

"Here’s the thing. The Vice Principal must have had his reasons for appointing you as our Homeroom teacher. But considering your unique situation, we’re still a bit... uneasy. So, could you please tell us what you plan to teach us in the future?"

Lilika’s question spoke for many in the room. They were all wondering what this young woman, who looked like she came from high society, could teach them. She didn’t look like someone who’d teach physical skills or sword fighting. She seemed too young to teach magic. And as a sheltered noble girl, she probably didn’t have combat experience to share. They’d already learned the usual academic stuff, so what else could she offer?

And so, ...

When Lilika posed her question, Mengxi’s eyes lit up with excitement. In the room’s somewhat serious atmosphere, Yumo answered with a smile,

"What will I teach? Well, some combat experience."

"Combat experience?"

At this, All the students, including Lilika, looked disappointed and somewhat disdainful. After all, the teachers who usually taught combat at Luminous Royal Academy were seasoned warriors—former generals, retired S-class mercenaries, and experienced swordsmen. And this young lady from the Black Rose family… Although there were rumors about her strength, she had no known battle records. Given that she had been out of the public eye for years, she probably had little real combat experience. The idea of her teaching combat seemed almost laughable.

"Teacher Yu, if you don’t mind me saying, this combat experience might be a bit..."

"Oh, it’s not the kind of combat experience you’re thinking of."

"What do you mean, Teacher Yu?"

"I’m talking about combat experience against Abyssal Demons."

"What? Abyssal Demons?"

Hearing this, not just Lilika but all the students looked shocked, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"You’re joking, right?"

"No, I’m not."

The black-haired girl replied firmly, "I’m not joking. Starting tomorrow, I’ll be responsible for your practical combat classes and Abyssal Demon theory. I’ll patiently teach you how to properly engage with 65 types of Abyssal Demons, their various combat styles, and weaknesses. I’ll also share some lesser-known facts about their habits."

At this moment, Lilika was somewhat stunned. She knew how unbelievable these words sounded. Their previous teacher on Abyssal Demon theory had only taught them about 19 types of Abyssal Demons due to incomplete data. And now? A noble young lady claimed she could teach them how to deal with 65 types of Abyssal Demons? Was this for real?

"Teacher Yu..."

"I’m not joking. Well, you don’t have to believe me now. You’ll find out in tomorrow’s class."

"Okay..."

Feeling the increasingly strong aura emanating from the black-haired young woman, Lilika nodded somewhat awkwardly.

It had to be said—the idea of learning how to deal with 65 types of Abyssal Demons was pretty intriguing.

The idea was indeed captivating. There are over ninety types of Abyssal Demons, not counting those at the Demon King level. If they could learn how to deal with 65 of them, it would be incredibly valuable for people like them who would face these demons in the future. As for whether Teacher Yu was telling the truth? They’d find out tomorrow. With that thought, Lilika said no more. She respectfully bowed to Yumo and gracefully returned to her seat.

’I wish Limo could achieve even half of what this adorable girl has done’ Yumo thought to herself.

However, just because Lilika sat down didn’t mean the students’ questions were over. Another student, a blond young man dressed modestly, stood up.

"Hello, Teacher Yu. I’m not a noble. Before enrolling here, I was a high-ranking mercenary. I’m not familiar with formalities, so I’ll skip the pleasantries. I’m at peak level 5 and was about to attempt to break through to the sixth level under the guidance of our previous teacher Sakara. Now that he’s gone, can you replace him? Assisting students in breaking through requires experience. Have you done this kind of work before? Can you do it?"

The young man’s tone was somewhat pressing, seemingly anxious about his future.

Seeing this, Yumo sighed. As expected, and as Sebastian had predicted, the students would ask such questions. After all, this was about their future prospects; it would be strange if they didn’t ask.

Preparing to answer the blond student’s question with the lines Sebastian had given her, Yumo took a deep breath.

However, before Yumo could speak, a silver-haired young girl sitting at the back of the room near the window spoke up,

"Yaze, you don’t have to worry about that. Teacher Yu is quite experienced in this area."

"What? How do you know this, Mengxi?" Yaze was clearly surprised, not expecting the usually quiet Mengxi to suddenly chime in.

After a brief pause, Yaze turned to look at the silver-haired girl sitting about ten meters behind him, "How are you so sure? Have you—"

"Why wouldn’t I know?" Mengxi replied with a smile. She then proudly pointed at herself, "Actually, my breakthrough was all thanks to Teacher Yu’s help."

Yaze: "What?!"
