Chapter 12
"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've been asking you to sit in on 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... and it will affect your reputation."
"Reputation?"
Does he have a reputation?
Although saying this may be self-deprecating, 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.
Heni knew that she couldn't refuse the professor.
If the professor taught him, he would be unhappy...
Heni 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 Heni 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, Heni was under great pressure.
"That..."
"The professor has something to do today, so... I will take the professor's place..."
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.
As 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.
Woohoo... Professor Victor, I can't do it, I really can't do it...
Professor, please come back quickly...
"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 side was 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 silent magic.
Except for the user, creatures within the control range can no longer make sounds with their mouths.
"Assistant Hennie, please continue."
Woo, woo, Erica, thank you!
She was extremely grateful for Erica's help, and at the same time, she felt a little guilty.
She had just said bad things about Erica the day the professor came.
Unexpectedly, she was saved by the other party this time.
I will tell you the scope of the exam in advance next time!
Hennie 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 Hennie's fear was understandable.
He originally wanted to rely on the pressure of students to make Hennie grow up quickly, but now it seems that the effect will be counterproductive.
But letting Hennie 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, he wanted to keep his position as a professor, so he couldn't drop the course for these students.
So Victor thought of Hernie.
Hernie had written his course, so there was absolutely no problem with her ability.
The only thing he had to worry about was her timidity.
He needed Hernie to overcome this by herself, so that she would understand that she had the ability to teach these students well.
With the help of Erica, the classroom became quiet.
Hernie took a deep breath to adjust her mood, and finally she was able to muster up the courage to start the lecture.
She talked about the content written on the speech, which she had memorized by heart.
Soon, Hernie got into her own rhythm, and became more and more comfortable when lecturing.
Victor, who was peeping throughout the whole process, nodded. Hernie was undoubtedly talented in lecturing.
The students also went from questioning at the beginning to doubting, and finally surprised.
They realized that HernieHer lecture rhythm 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, only Hernie's speech and the sound of writing and drawing on the book were left.
As Hernie was speaking, she suddenly paused.
Because this section required the teacher to demonstrate a magic.
Second-level magic: [Star Shattering]
Since Professor Victor was a powerful third-level wizard, when preparing for the class, she wrote the content of the topic from the perspective of Professor Victor.
Unexpectedly, it was a stumbling block for herself.
She herself was just a magic apprentice.
Even if she knew the theory of this magic, she had no 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. The magic principle of [Broken Star] was clearly recorded on it.
The level of details even made her not need to use her brain much. She could easily release it just by thinking about the magic array.
She raised one hand and tried to use this magic for the first time.
"[Broken Star]!"
A mysterious wave set off ripples.
In the air, bright morning stars appeared one after another.
Like a painting, it formed the pattern of the magic array.
And just when it was about to take shape, it suddenly disappeared in the air.
Just when many students were confused.
Thump, thump!
I don't know when, and I don't know from which direction.
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, they learned much faster.
"So that's how it is!"
They started to discuss, 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.
The 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 admiration for Heni.
She is worthy of being Professor Victor's assistant. Ordinary lecturers may not be as good as her!
"Professor Victor's assistant is so excellent!"
"Yes, yes!"
Hennie walked in front of Erica. She wanted to thank this girl who was willing to stand up in class.
"Thank you, Erica."
"If it weren't for you, I would have been embarrassed in this class."
Erica smiled at her privately, waved her hand and continued:
"It's just a small matter."
Hernie 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 also 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 decided 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 when he saw that Hernie had adapted, he secretly came back to fish.
The leisure time at dusk was mixed with the friction sound of turning pages.
Very comfortable.
But the peaceful time is always short.
At the reminder of the magic tower, he agreed to Hernie and Erica's teleportation permission.
The afterglow of the teleportation magic gradually faded.
The next second, the two young and beautiful girls appeared in front of him.
"Professor..."
Hernie's voice was still so timid, as if he would eat her inadvertently.
The friction sound of turning pages did not stop. Victor did not look up, and mentioned it as if he was chatting casually.
"Today's class was good."
"How did it feel?"
Hernie 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 Hernie a look in return.
Hernie then remembered why she came. She was not here to ask for Victor's praise.
"Professor, why do you want me to take this class for you?"
Click.
Victor closed the book.The exquisite bound book was placed on the table. He looked at Heni and responded calmly.
"I'm going out for a while. It will take some time to come back."
Hearing this, Heni didn't feel anything.
But Erica, who was feeding Vega, trembled 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 unfortunately 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."
Henni was stunned.
"Professor, are you...testing me?"
Victor said 'hmm' and gave her a faint smile in return.
Even 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 is 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 seemed that with a 'click', a crack appeared in the psychological defense line that Erica had built up 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 became 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 has lived 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 geo."
This price is not cheap for consumables sold in the capital, but it is very reasonable.
This potion is definitely worth the price.
If you can sell 50 bottles a day, you can directly receive 50,000 Geo.
The cost is just one tree fruit, although it is not common, it is at most 10 Geo.
This is a profitable investment.
Victor nodded, this price is also within his expectations.
No matter how expensive it is, it is not worth it, and if it is cheap, it is not worthy of its amazing effect.
"By the way, remember to limit it. One person can only buy two bottles a day."
"Why?"
Liya was a little confused. This magic potion is expensive in itself. It was a problem whether anyone would buy it at the beginning. In the end, it was limited?
Isn't he afraid that the goods will be stored and can't be sold?
Victor gave an explanation:
"In the early stage, I would rather make less money and spread the effect of this potion."
"Later, the more people know, the more money you will make."
Liya listened to his explanation, her beautiful eyes were full of surprise.
"I now feel that you are more of a businessman than I am."
She seemed to be meeting Victor for the first time in more than a decade.
She yawned, as if she had thought of something, and asked casually.
"Oh, yes, 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 saying 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 was fiddled with by him."Why, how did you do it?" Vega wondered.
Victor put the blue potion on the table and explained.
"Because I can make money."
