Magic Chronicles : Fallen Race

"I-I am Vielsia, I was your student in the last substitute class!"

After the elf princess quickly introduced herself, she suddenly didn't know how to continue.

She was only thinking about stopping Teacher Reji.

But when she really faced Reji, she became tongue-tied.

She couldn't just directly ask a human how they knew so many advanced spells, right?

Seeing Vielsia's awkwardness and her inability to say anything after hesitating for a long time, Reji shook his head inwardly. 'It seemed that this elf princess was quite different from what I had imagined, and she didn't seem to be very smart.'

To continue, Reji took the initiative to speak.

"So, miss, did you come to ask me about the course? I'm sorry, I am a temporary teacher at the academy, and I don't have any personal courses."

"No, no, no, Teacher Reji, I am... right, I have some knowledge points from your class that I still don't understand very well. Can... can you spare some time to guide me again?"

Vielsia calmed her nervous mood and found a suitable reason to continue.

But Reji's next sentence almost made the elf panic again.

"Of course, but..."

Reji pretended to look at his watch.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be class time now, don't you have your next class"

"Ah! I-I don't have class next period, it's fine! Teacher, please rest assured, I-I absolutely did not skip class!" Vielsia gestured repeatedly.

Reji: "..."

Looking at Vielsia, who now had her eyes rolling around and a slight blush on her face, as if she was telling a lie for the first time, Reji couldn't help but suspect, 'Is this really the elf princess? Can she really be this pure?'

"Good, then in that case, it just so happens that I don't have any work to do next, come with me, let's find a room."

"Mm-hmm."

Vielsia nodded, and when she realized that she was going to be taken to a room alone by her Teacher, not only did she have no guard or tension, but she was also secretly delighted.

'Great!'

'I just happened to catch teacher when he had free time!'

Although the elf princess didn't say it out loud, Reji could basically see it written all over her face with a glance.

This made Reji even have the impulse to directly kidnap this stupid elf and take her to the demon race's headquarters.

However, just in case and to be safe, he still respected the elf princess's noble identity in case she had any hidden tricks.

Reji still followed his plan step by step.

Soon, under Reji's guidance, they arrived at a quiet small house in a secluded location in the academy.

The house was next to a large piece of greenery in the academy.

Looking out the window, one could see the green tree shade, and after Reji entered the house and opened the window, the gentle wind in the forest blew past, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers and plants, filling the room.

Following Reji into the house, Vielsia couldn't help but take a deep breath. This place was full of the earthy fragrance she loved, fresh and sweet.

"I'm sorry, since I'm not a regular teacher at the academy, I can't get a spacious office in the teaching building, and I can only be in this secluded little corner. I hope you don't mind."

When Vielsia heard Reji's explanation of the place, she immediately shook her head like a rattle.

"Not at all, Teacher, I-I really like it here! It feels very comfortable, and I think it's much better than those rooms in the teaching building, cough cough!"

Vielsia almost blurted out what she said because she liked it here so much.

This wasn't flattery, it was all true.

Compared to the human's steel and concrete, elves naturally preferred the current quiet room, close to the forest and close to nature.

Moreover...

While Reji was pouring tea, Vielsia looked around the room, and her gaze was immediately drawn to the desk in the room.

In the room, there was a porcelain vase on the desk, with three or four elegant and upright lilies in it. The plants stood tall, with leaves like green bamboo, and the pure white, flawless flowers were elegant and serene, as if just looking at them could make one feel pure and beautiful.

'This...'

'This is my favorite flower!'

From the beautiful bloom of the lilies, Vielsia could imagine that their owner must have taken good care of them, carefully nurturing them and watering them every day.

From the flowers, one could see the owner's gentleness and attention to detail.

Vielsia never expected that before she even got to know this young human teacher deeply, there would be surprises everywhere, as if there was a mysterious connection between them!

This was not some simple room in a remote corner.

This was simply her favorite room since she came to the human academy!

If there was a display now, this elf princess's head would definitely be showing her affection for Reji constantly increasing.

'Heh'

[Vielsia's Current Affection: 32% 39%]

Seeing the sudden increase of 7% in affection, Reji, who was pouring tea for Vielsia, couldn't help but smile again.

Coincidence?

There is no coincidence!

This was the room that Reji had carefully prepared according to Vielsia's various preferences in the card.

'It seemed that my efforts were not in vain, and the effect was indeed significant.'

The first impression I designed for Vielsia was almost a complete success.

But I can't relax.

'40% affection was probably a bottleneck, the limit for a "stranger," and to break through and further advance the relationship, I need to rely on the flirtatious teaching that would follow!'

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Miss Vielsia. As today is my first day, I just have some simple tea."

Following the usual process of entertaining guests, as the host, Reji politely handed the tea to Vielsia.

As the elf princess thanked him, she stood up and took the tea, drinking a large mouthful in front of Reji, as if to express that she didn't mind at all and was very satisfied with the tea.

'Aren't you afraid that there might be something in the tea?'

Reji felt that if he were some young teacher from a small town, this elf student who was as pure as a blank piece of paper in front of him, would have been "r@ped and corrupted" countless times already.

'Forget it'

Reji suddenly felt that he had gotten used to it.

After Vielsia sat down, Reji, who was sitting by the desk, smiled and said, "So, Miss Vielsia, I guess you want to ask about those fifth, sixth, and seventh-tier advanced spells, right?"

"Yes, Teacher, I'm very interested!"

"I see. Before that, may I ask Miss Vielsia a question?"

"Please go ahead, Teacher!"

Reji leaned back against the desk, took a small sip of tea, and looked at the white mist that slowly rose from the teacup, as if his gaze had also reached a distant place, his eyes filled with a nostalgic color.

"Miss Vielsia, do you think that these 'legendary' spells are really just legends?"

Vielsia took Reji's question seriously.

During class, although all the human students were very interested in the teacher's advanced spells, Vielsia could clearly see that they all listened to them as if they were fantasy stories, like listening to a novel, which was why they found it so enjoyable.

As for whether it was not a legend, but the truth, apart from her, there was probably no other student who thought so.

And as Vielsia looked at Reji's current appearance, under the bright noon sunlight, although the teacher was still gentle and kind, the loneliness that occasionally flashed in the depths of his eyes, which were unintentionally lowered, gave Vielsia a feeling of loneliness.
