In the end, after about 30 minutes of explanation and teaching, not a single person succeeded.
“There’s nothing that can be done. If it were easy to learn, I wouldn’t have any reason to teach it.”
I showed one last example before completely retracting my mana.
Yena’s eyes sparkled as she tried to capture my image until the very end.
“Let’s make it homework for next week. The task is to transfer the mana from the stick to the condensed stone, just like earlier.”
“What if I can’t do it? Can I not come in?”
“Of course not.”
Naturally, you can’t come in.
[LOL]
[Yena’s breakdown]
[Next class will have 0 students~]
[Ah, it was an online class from the start]
“……”
“I’m just joking. I’ll let it slide this time.”
“Just once…?”
I nodded at Yena’s question.
“Yes, just once.”
I flicked my hand.
A box filled with blue mana descended from the air and tapped the table.
“There are new students coming in, so even if you don’t succeed once, you can still enter.”
The first four were students who ranked high in both skill and understanding.
I don’t know how many excellent students will pass among the next 200, but probably not many.
So, there’s the issue of the new students coming in for moving on to the next material right away.
If only the good students move ahead quickly, the others will lag behind.
But it wouldn’t make sense to only cater to those who are lagging behind…
This level of consideration is sufficient.
Clatter.
“And I heard someone is buying and selling the condensed stones I gave?”
[Oh no]
[LOL]
[The market price has gone up to 900 now, haha]
[Even when told not to sell]
[Lily’s gems… these are quite valuable]
[For real LOL]
[No conscience, huh? Haha]
[But even when told not to sell, the scammers keep selling, LOL]
I pulled out a new condensed stone.
It was crafted with more advanced magic than before.
“So this time, I used the ‘Binding Tome’ to make it all bound items. I also increased the stability compared to last time.”
The ‘Binding Tome’ can be purchased in the city of mages, Edrium.
It’s a place that has a somewhat system-like shop, and using this book will bind the item with the enchantment, making it unsellable at the auction house or to other users.
[?]
[What?]
“You mean you attached something more expensive than mana stones? LOL”
[HAHAHAHA]
[The belly is bigger than the stomach]
[Is this real?]
[Lily, how much are you spending? LOL]
“But then, doesn’t that mean Lily can’t give it away either?”
[?]
[Oh?]
“What? Did Lily waste her money?”
“Did you just throw money away?”
“Don’t worry. I’ve slightly modified the Bound Scroll to allow exchanges, but only for one time.”
I can create enough spells that can’t be exchanged.
There are already a few I know, and if you want, I can make it return automatically if it falls out of a certain range.
But the problem is the Auction House that’s borrowing the System.
‘It’s impossible for now.’
I can penetrate the opponent’s skill itself, but blocking the Auction House’s transaction system is out of the question.
Even if it were possible, such an action would be too conspicuous.
[…?]
[Is that possible?]
[Huh?]
[Oh haha, stealing skills is one thing, but releasing bindings? Haha]
[Binding (not bound)]
[What do you even learn in the last class…?]
The last class, huh…
‘Did I teach a spell with about 12 layers?’
Calculating and manifesting twelve different spells resulted in most students fainting or skipping the class due to magical side effects.
As the principal passed by and saw me, he gasped, asking what I was teaching.
“I can’t even teach a quarter of my level.”
It was quite a cute sight that not a single student skipped the class just to see the Saintess.
Personally, I was really disappointed that the class ended up being a mess that day.
‘I wonder how much they’ll keep up this time.’
I’m a little excited.
“Then I’ll draw 200 names.”
■
Zing~
The connection device, gleaming white, emitted steam.
From within came a girl with a slightly thinner body than others and a pretty face for a gamer.
“…Phew.”
Wearing what looked like silky pajamas, she stretched her arms up and gulped down the bottled water that was on the table.
After finishing the water, she irritably tossed the bottle into the trash and glared at the team’s logo pasted on the wall.
Three brown square shapes were embossed.
This was her ‘second’ start and the team she currently belonged to.
“Shit…”
Candy Star.
No, Chota Choka Chuka Chip recalled the terrible situation that had just happened and burst out the door.
Stuck against the wall was the team’s ranged dealer, Sky.
“Uh… you caught me.”
Next to him was Leiter, the team’s supporter and her cousin, who was sweating profusely.
The mastermind of this incident and someone she would soon kill.
“What are you two doing?”
“Ha, haha! We can’t miss Choco’s broadcast─”
“You ordered this knowing it would be like this, right?”
At Chuka Chip’s chilling words, Leiter swallowed hard and stepped back.
“Ah, ah. No~ I’m learning techniques from Lily thanks to me…”
“Damn it.”
Whack! Chuka Chip’s fist hit Leiter in the side.
Given her cousin’s whining, it was a fierce punch.
Since she had briefly been on the boxing team in the past, Leiter clutched his side and raised his hands.
“Wait! Wait! Time out! I’m telling Mom!”
“Aunt will care more about me than you. Don’t you remember what I said before?”
“You mean…?”
“Are you acting like this to get treated like an older brother? Hey, Sky, you little brat, come over here too.”
Sky, who had been quietly inching back, walked over with a cheerful smile.
“I, I didn’t do anything…”
“I came to hear you scream in embarrassment from inside the room.”
“No. I already heard that on the broadcast─”
Smack!
“Ah! This is team violence!”
“Damn it.”
“…But you did pretty well for someone who hadn’t trained much. Maybe I should seriously raise Candy Star again─”
Thwack!
‘…This is going to hurt.’
Leiter broke into a cold sweat as he looked at the droopy Sky.
In the end, he raised both hands and feet, seeing his extremely angry cousin.
“I’m sorry. I just wanted to see your reaction. But supporting Lily’s broadcast with the Candy Star account wasn’t my intention at all.”
“……”
“I just borrowed it because you have a lot of credit from the event tournament on your account. You don’t even watch the broadcast, so you wouldn’t spend a penny. I really meant well─”
“…There are a lot of cocky ones.”
“Huh?”
Chuka Chip had a rather serious expression.
Leiter expected another punch coming his way but looked up at the unexpected response.
“I thought that was enough, but it wasn’t. Leo and some unexpected people, actually, a lot are lacking.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Cancel all scrims for a while. I need to train separately. Also, gather a lot of mana stones.”
“Wait! How many have been caught? What are you…”
“Take care of it. Even if I’m not there, there are reserve players, right?”
“But you’re the main player. If you’re out, the team’s balance will─”
“Use the banner. That guy has nothing to do these days, just doing dishes.”
He’ll love that.
With those parting words, Chuka Chip turned back, entered the room, and closed the door.
Leiter was left helplessly standing in front of the door.
Ah.
The door opened again.
“And if anyone finds out I’m Candy Star, you’re dead. That day, I’ll tell Aunt everything. I’ll say you ruined my life.”
“I’m really going to die. I’m going to tell my aunt everything that day. You ruined my life.”
“What? What does that have to do with anything?”
“So just keep your mouth shut. This is the punishment for messing with me.”
BANG!
“…Oh great, I’m going to get another scolding from the director.”
■
“Nothing here.”
– Nothing?
“Yeah.”
A day had passed since the second class ended.
Originally, there were a couple of successful candidates on the first day, but despite the number of challengers nearly doubling, no one had succeeded.
Are we really going to be stuck with just four people like this?
– Well, isn’t that okay? If new people come in, you’ll have to teach them the same process anyway.
“I don’t plan on teaching the same process.”
-Huh?
I replied to White Autumn, who was momentarily having a talk disguised as an editor meeting.
“Review is obviously necessary. Do you think they’ll just show up without preparing?”
What I was referring to was the point where someone who had completed the homework for this week moved on to the next process.
I have no intention of teaching what I taught today again next week.
There’s no time for that.
“The important thing is that there’s a growing gap between those who have moved on. I didn’t do it because it seemed boring, but I think we might need to do a little theory lesson…”
Theory.
Even though I’m the famous Saintess, many students absolutely hated that hour.
No matter where you go, everyone hates studying.
The reason I vaguely explained some methods on purpose was because I thought it’d be more entertaining for the broadcast if I left out the theory.
– Is it a difficult topic?
“If you understand it, it’s easy. Just think of it as a combination of art, math, and science?”
– …It looks hard at first glance.
I feel like I’m going to doze off while editing…
White Autumn chuckled and posted various messages and updates in the Discord chat.
Even now, Liltube continues to grow.
– The mock siege war video I posted last time has recorded 29 million views. I think it’ll surpass 30 million within this week.
– By the way, the lecture video has also exceeded 10 million views. Lady Lily, the proportion of foreign comments is much higher.
“That’s great.”
It’s nice when a lot of people watch.
