Being a new trainee teacher Kathy wanted to leave a strong impression on her students so that they would not underestimate her for being young and inexperienced. Even though this gig was just a temp job for her to gain experience before she starts her full-time job as a lecturer at Morning star university, Kathy was serious about this temp job as her love for teaching did not allow her to half-ass with the future of her students.
At her first class as the class teacher, all the students attended her class while standing.
“Why are you guys standing? You can take your seat. It will be easier to take notes.” When asked they all said they had a rash on their bottom, “Miss Kathy, the whole class is suffering from a particular rash which affects our behind, so we would like your permission to listen to the class while standing.”
“Permission denied.” It was hilarious but not good for her rep as a class teacher. So she threatened the students with the average grades, the cowards of the class. They were not focused as the high achievers or courageous as the last benchers, “You guys tell me what is happening otherwise I will call your parents.”
“Miss Kathy, it is not our fault it was Jason and Wyatt.” As expected they spilled the beans in no time. It seems one of her students, Dalton Wyatt had threatened them all into attending the class while standing because all of her students laughed at him as another one of her students, Jason, vandalised his desk.
“Okay, I will talk with the principal about this later. You guys can now sit down and listen to the class.” Assuring her students to be seated Kathy began her class. The high achieving students trusted her words and sat down, while the last benchers knew involving a teacher would only piss off Wyatt so they remained standing. As for the students with average grades they were fickler than her girlfriends. They would sit but soon stand up, they couldn’t make up their mind.
“Principal, I am here to report about Student Wyatt and Student Jason, their behaviour is affecting the class negatively.” When she brought this to the principal’s notice after her class, he went berserk.
“How dare he? Who does he think he is? He shall be dealt with according to the age-old zero-tolerance policy of our school. Bullying is a serious offence, I am suspending student Jason indefinitely until further notice and Miss Kathy commend student Wyatt for the bravery he has shown by standing against his bully.” the principal in a fit of anger suspended Jason indefinitely and asked her to commend Wyatt for his courage to stand up to his bully.
“Yes, we will follow your arrangements.” Being raised by a single mother in a poor household Kathy knew how the world worked and was not puzzled by the response of the principal knowing Wyatt had contracted a silver grimoire on his first try.
“I beg your pardon…” Currently, Kathy was dealing with student Wyatt, who had contracted a silver grimoire and gained the school principal’s special interest. When she said he was absent for a week intending to get a reason for his absence he flatly agreed with her and asked her why she called him. Kathy was not prepared for such an answer.
…
“Miss Kathy I am in the middle of something. If it’s not something important I will be hanging up the phone now.” I was literally in the middle of Ronnie’s card creation right now, I had assigned each of my slave consciousness with certain tasks, while they continued with card creation I answered Miss Kathy’s call. Multitasking, one of the advantages of having multi consciousness.
“Wait, Student Wyatt. The principal informed me that you are interested in participating in the school tournament. Will you be participating in the school tournament student Wyatt?” Kathy wanted to sweat this troublesome student of hers but unlike the average student who let her lead the conversation, this student rendered her speechless and led the conversation leaving her helpless.
“Yes, I will be participating.” At first, I wanted to participate to get the rewards of the top 10 winners in the school tournament but now what the school had to offer was redundant thanks to my newfound wealth. There is still another use of the school tournament that was publicity and recruitment.
Lion Cubs High was among the top three private high schools of Sky blossom city and its school card fight tournaments were well received and awaited by the locals. Sometimes many of the city leaders attended the tournament to encourage and praise the young heroes of Sky blossom city. Due to their presence, many talents of the school were bound to attend the tournament making it a good place for recruitment. Also, the winner of the tournament was bound to get a small fan following in the sky blossom city.
I was planning on winning the tournament and officially introducing the TSR guild to the people of Sky blossom city. While I am at it I wanted to make use of the hype to recruit fresh talents for the TSR guilds. Instead of recruiting middle age adventurers, it was best to cultivate new adventurers by recruiting young blood because it is easier for increasing their bond and sense of belonging with the guild compared to veterans who already have their own opinion about everything.
“Good, if you want to participate you will have to come and sign the ‘Liability waiver’. The rules of the tournament have been changed. This year the school has decided to allow any resident of the Sky blossom city under 18 to participate in the school tournament under the popular request of the city leaders and citizens. And also the rewards of the tournament have increased. Please come to the school to sign the liability waiver and for further explanation on the new rules and rewards of the school tournament.” Kathy was totally against these new rules because these rules disregard the safety of the students and other children participating. Therefore she wanted to personally explain the severity of the tournament and ask the students to not sign up for the tournament if they do not have sufficient strength.
“Sure, I will come to you first thing tomorrow morning. And thanks for informing me of the new changes in the school tournament.” I had plans in place for today so I could not get to school today to sign the liability waiver.
“No, student Wyatt. you will have to come today to sign the waiver as we need an exact number to prepare for the matching of participants for tomorrow’s tournament. If you do not sign the waiver by afternoon I will submit the list to the school without your name in it.” Kathy was not threatening her student, she was stating the fact. Because of new rules, the tournament was gaining publicity and will be attended by many important people so the tournament must be perfect which meant that there is no room for mistakes or delay.
