"I must do well, stand tall, show confidence, and not expose my cowardice and fear," Teacher Momonoki told herself.
At this moment, Teacher Dali walked over.
"Let me introduce you to your educator."
"Yes!"
The educator is also an elder.
"Oh, they're here, they're here," Dali said, looking at the demon approaching.
"This is your educator, Naberius Kalego," Dali introduced the demon in front of him.
Tall, fierce-eyed, aloof... a type she was completely unsuited to handle... Teacher Momonoki only felt that her path ahead seemed a bit dark.
..."Redo it," Kalego returned the document to Momonoki.
"O-okay."
"Please redo the materials for the meeting as well."
"Okay."
"The lesson plan also needs to be rethought."
"O-okay..."
"Finish reading this by tomorrow."
"Y-yes..."
Teacher Dali and Teacher Suki saw this scene.
"Teacher Momonoki is really getting quite an education."
"After all, Teacher Kalego is very strict."
Kalego glanced at the homework in his hand.
"The students' homework hasn't been collected completely?"
"Ah... that's because only these could be submitted on time..."
Kalego's face darkened at her words.
"Please go collect them again. For students who can't submit them... give them a strict education."
"Eh? M-me?"
Kalego looked at Teacher Momonoki in front of him.
"Otherwise... who?"
In the hallway, Teacher Momonoki sighed. Kalego was truly strict and scary... and to directly let me, an intern, guide students... can I do it?
Teacher Momonoki found the few other students who hadn't submitted their homework... but are today's students a bit too tall? And they look fierce... "Um... homework..." Teacher Momonoki said.
Upon hearing this, the demons were first stunned, then reacted.
"Homework? Oh, sorry, I accidentally forgot. I'll get it for you in a moment... please wait a moment."
Teacher Momonoki breathed a sigh of relief at the attitude of the demons in front of her. It seems they are easy to get along with; everyone is a good child. However, after Teacher Momonoki handed the homework to Teacher Kalego...
"Is this all of it?"
"Hm? Yes."
Kalego turned around and said.
"...I understand."
Seeing this, Teacher Momonoki was a bit annoyed.
"What does 'I understand' mean? At least say 'thank you for your hard work' or 'I appreciate it'!" But these words could only be thought. Just as Teacher Momonoki was still fantasizing, Kalego suddenly called her name.
"Teacher Momonoki."
"Ah?! Yes!"
"A Teacher's job isn't just about completing quotas and being done." Momonoki was stunned at his words.
In the hallway.
"What? What does that even mean?! I clearly worked hard! Does he want me to achieve results beyond my duties?! My anger is almost overriding my fear!" Teacher Momonoki walked dejectedly when she suddenly heard voices from the hallway ahead. She turned to look and saw the same demons who had submitted their homework that morning. Just as she was about to go say hello, she heard them say,
"Oh~ but it's really great that Teacher Momo-chan came to collect it."
"Ah, I know, I know."
"Copying homework won't be exposed at all."
"Exactly."
"It's super cool."
Upon hearing this, her foot, which was about to step forward, stopped.
"Eh?"
"In this regard, as long as we have the answers, Teacher Momo-chan is fine with us completely copying them or having the smart ones write them~"
"Long live Teacher Momo-chan!"
"Hahaha."
Upon hearing this, Momonoki walked to a corner of the garden, sat down, and looked at the sky.
"The weather... is really nice... I've been underestimated... underestimated by students to that extent... Besides those kids, there must be other kids cheating behind my back, right? Teacher Kalego was right... I only thought about completing quotas and didn't properly check the content of my work..."
Recalling what Teacher Kalego had said,
"A Teacher's job isn't just about simply completing quotas and being done..."
Upon hearing this, Teacher Momonoki lowered her head.
"All I've been doing is simply assisting. I only focused on myself and didn't consider the students... I'm a Teacher at Babyls too! No, I can't cry..."
Suddenly,
"Are you okay?"
A huge shadow enveloped Momonoki.
Momonoki was startled instantly and almost directly unleashed a wind blade.
"Ah, ah... sorry, I scared you. I'm also a Teacher at Babyls. I'm Balam Shichiro from Fantasy Biology. If you have any troubles, please tell me."
..."I see, you were underestimated and they lied to you... Hmm... If you don't mind, let me expose all the students who lied, shall I?"
"Eh? C-can you do that? That kind of thing?"
"Yes, I'm very good at it. But we still need to make a plan, a plan to prevent them from lying again."
"A plan?"
"Yes, it's a rare opportunity, so let's restore the reputation of Babyls's Teachers."
Upon hearing this, Teacher Momonoki's eyes became firm, and she began to collect teaching methods from other Teachers and humbly seek advice... Finally, the day to restore their reputation arrived.
The lawn behind the school.
Students, still sleepy, looked at Teacher Momonoki in front of them and complained,
"Why are we having class outside? Isn't this basic magic? I'm so sleepy."
Upon hearing this, Teacher Momonoki put on her hairband and looked at the demons.
"Everyone, are you all here? Today we're going to summarize the lessons we've learned so far. I think it's time for a practical lesson."
"Practical?" several students asked, puzzled.
"Next, I will cast magic. Please prepare your defenses," Teacher Momonoki raised her staff.
"Eh? W-wait..."
Before the students could finish speaking, wind blades flew over their heads.
"Wait a minute..." The demons hurriedly dodged, but some demons also opened protective shields based on the knowledge they had learned.
Seeing this, Momonoki said,
"Those who can defend themselves, you've done very well!"
However, the other students who hadn't opened their protective shields sat limply on the grass, their legs weak.
"What... isn't this too reckless?"
"No, it's not, after all, it's homework."
"The 'Defense' problem and report for defensive magic, wasn't this homework just done a few days ago?"
"Even so, isn't it too sudden?"
"Not sudden at all. The importance of this magic and the techniques for activating it have already been discussed in class. This magic doesn't depend on magic power; as long as you have the knowledge, you can use it. Ultimately, why do you think I taught you 'Defense'? It's to enable you to protect yourselves when you encounter dangerous accidents in this demon world in the future."
