Edmund entered the classroom but nobody noticed as they were completely distracted laughing or talking with one another. They felt more relaxed because Leah was the one that was in charge. At this point, the original class was developing new magic tools and new ideas.

‘Well... Well... Well... Nobody here even tried to visit me; am I just a vessel for you to drain knowledge?’ Edmund hit the desk.

‘We were busy teachers; he has a lot of work because of that thing you created; the runs are so complex we are learning just by reading your instructions on it.’ One young man to the right spoke.

‘Now I remember why I left the teaching to Leah... Wait, you are here?’ He pointed at Leah.

‘I was talking about their project; I think they advanced a lot in their flying vehicle.’ Leah walked towards him with a tablet in hand.

‘Ok, that is interesting. The duchess asked me what was new, not from me but from you guys. I know a lot of you have groups and even are working for Arc or Socher; I know what you guys are doing.’ Edmund tapped the desk.

‘Some of our ideas are limited now because of the amount of magic it takes to make it work; we need the crystals.’ A Shafran female raised her arm.

‘It will take some time until we go on the suicide mission inside the dungeon, so you will need to still be on the theory side of your experiments for now. Anyway, start from the left to the right. What are you are doing and how close are you to finishing?' He pointed at a young A-dam female in the corner.

She was writing on her tablet but looked up for a moment and saw Edmund pointing at her; she didn’t really understand what was going on because of how immersed she was in what she was doing.

‘I’m sorry, teacher, what did you say?’ She scratched the back of her head.

‘Ok…’ Edmund sigh.

‘He just wants you to say what project you are doing now and how close you are to finishing it.’ Leah smiled at her.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

‘Ah, I’m in charge of teaching the new students; right now I’m trying to find better ways to teach the basics of runes for them; I’m not close to finishing it because teaching is on going.’ She spoke confidently.

‘Do we have new students? I’m behind in all of this; I wasn't really that involved to begin with, but I’m glad you have that under control using my way of teaching for a new generation.’ Edmund nodded at her.

‘I’m doing my own thing; your way of teaching almost killed us multiple times. It was our goddess that asked me to teach with a safer learning experience; I had Leah’s recommendation. I’m not really good at developing new things, but I can explain how they work.’ She looked down, trying to hide her face.

‘Hey, if it wasn’t life or death, you guys wouldn’t be so good at it. Well, continue your work, next!!!’ Edmund sat on the chair that is behind the desk.

‘Our group is developing a vehicle sponsored by the Arc company and much like the one you made but it uses tracks. We already had a small prototype when we saw the truck but with what we learned by constructing the other trucks with everyone, now it is better than before.’ The young Shafran male got up and put a tablet on the teacher’s desk.

Edmund was surprised by what he heard; the snowball was starting to roll. As he got the tablet and scrolled through the pages, he was happy to see the content in it, not really the vehicle itself; he already thought about something similar, but that they were already doing things without his guidance.

He sighed, looking at Leah to his side and at his students with a smile on his face. He was imagining if in every city of the kingdom there was a similar school and more companies sponsored more creations.

‘This is really good, but is the same as the other one; you need to wait until me and the duchess go into the dungeon; there is the only place I know where there are crystals in large quantities to push for the next step or upgrade what we already use.’ He pushed the tablet to the edge of the desk.

'Ok, teacher, we can work on other things until they're done.’ The young Shafran took his tablet back.

He was surrounded by multiple people and they all nodded to Edmund as they quietly talked to one another. The group on the back where Leah came from before lifted their hands at the same time and an A-Dam male got up and walked towards the desk with a tablet in his hand.

‘I was going to say next but ok, you are the ones with the flying vehicle.’

‘Like our classmates, we learned a lot by building the second truck and we used that to improve our vehicle, more specifically the engine and how it stays floating above the ground and how it moves at great speed. We too have a sponsor but ours is bolder, The Socher Company.’ He gave the tablet to Edmund.

He started to scroll through the pages and was happy to see that they were going in a completely different direction than he had in mind. He had a working prototype for a flying device but it used fire and wind. His students, on the other hand, were using pure levitation magic.

The concept intrigued him, using it even to make it move forward; that alone wasn't a new concept, as his truck did the same, but because of how it was shaped, their vehicle could fly and maintain itself on air, even making quick turns. Although it was all theory at the moment, mostly because even a small prototype needed crystals, it could work.

‘I hope the Socher company has patience because this will take time and a lot of tests, but you guys are on a good path.’ Edmund gave back the tablet to the student.

‘We are proud of our work teacher, thanks.’ He turned around and walked back to his group.

They all started to hug one another and cheat; the others in the class looked more determined and held their tablets tighter, waiting for their turn to show what they had.

‘Ok… Next!!!’ Edmund pointed at another student.
