Chapter 54: The Lecture

Yun Mu arrived at the Painter Association building with practiced ease; she pushed open the main gate, walked into the building's interior, and at a glance saw Miss Rose sitting behind the counter as always.

Miss Rose noticed her at this moment as well; the other party first looked at her eyes with some surprise, then quickly returned to her usual appearance and waved at her with a smile.

"Miss Yun, have you brought the materials for the lecture as well?"

After Yun Mu walked closer, Rose looked at the wooden box she was holding in her arms and said.

"Uh, no, these aren't materials for the lecture."

She had not expected Rose to mistake this item for something she would use for her lecture, so she hurriedly explained.

In fact, she hadn't even decided what she was going to talk about today.

According to her plan, today would probably just be letting those Apprentices at the Painter Association draw whatever they wanted, and then she would take a look at the level of these Apprentices.

When the next class came, she would then think about what to teach these Apprentices.

One hour a day; there was no need to worry about not teaching well, just muddling through to earn some contribution points would suffice.

Why be so serious?

Under the guidance of Miss Rose, Yun Mu arrived at the third floor of the Painter Association.

"Miss Yun will be teaching the Apprentices in the Toddler Class; I hope you can be a bit more relaxed when teaching them."

Rose brought Yun Mu to the front of a classroom, turned her head to look at her, and said.

"Toddler Class?"

Rose did not answer her, only pointing her finger into the classroom.

Yun Mu looked in the direction her finger was pointing and saw fifteen young children aged five, six, or seven sitting quietly in the classroom at this moment.

On the podium in front of them, a middle-aged man with a stern appearance and an age of about fifty was talking incessantly about the importance of classroom discipline.

"As you can see, Mr. Waseke is a bit too strict."

"I hope that when you are lecturing to the children, you can let them relax a little." Rose asked her with a plea.

"Of course, no problem." Yun Mu agreed decisively.

This was exactly what she had hoped for; after all, making her lecture seriously was the thing that would truly give her a headache.

Just at this moment, Waseke inside the classroom noticed the two people standing outside the door; after leaving behind a "keep quiet," he left the classroom and walked toward them.

"Good afternoon, Miss Rose."

Waseke first greeted Rose, then looked at Yun Mu, a hint of a smile appearing on his face as he said: "You must be the teacher responsible for giving the lecture."

"I have already instructed the children not to cause trouble—"

Before he had finished speaking, fragmented sounds of conversation came from the classroom behind him.

Waseke's brow furrowed, and just as he was about to turn and walk into the classroom to make the Apprentices quiet, Rose at his side spoke first: "Children have abundant energy; it's not good to keep suppressing them."

"Let Miss Yun handle this matter."

Hearing Rose's words, Waseke's tightly furrowed brow relaxed slightly; he gave a light cough, and the sound in the classroom immediately became much quieter.

"Follow me." Waseke said as he walked toward the classroom.

"I'll leave it to you~" Rose stood outside the classroom, waving at Yun Mu with a smile.

And after Waseke walked into the classroom with Yun Mu, the entire classroom instantly became deathly silent.

"Ahem." Waseke gave two low coughs.

"This is the new teacher for our class; she will give you a lecture for one hour every day at one in the afternoon." He introduced her to the fifteen children in the classroom.

"Hello everyone~"

Yun Mu imitated Rose's manner, smiling and greeting the children below.

During her speech, she noticed a familiar figure, who was currently hanging her head, trying to avoid her gaze.

That was a girl with flaxen shoulder-length hair; even with her head lowered, Yun Mu could recognize her identity.

Who else could it be but Neisen's daughter, Tina?

At this time, Waseke had already finished introducing Yun Mu's identity; he nodded slightly at her and said softly: "I will leave this class to you."

After he finished speaking, he strode out of the classroom, and before leaving, he gently closed the classroom door.

And not long after Waseke left, the entire classroom instantly exploded!

"It's a new teacher!"

"The new teacher is so pretty!"

"Why are the new teacher's two eyes different colors!"

"Teacher Waseke finally left, hooray!"

Yun Mu looked at the messy classroom before her; not only was she not angry, but she actually smiled.

Because she had noticed that Waseke hadn't actually left at all; he was currently hiding outside the window of the classroom's back door, secretly observing those children who were talking.

This made her recall memories of her school days in her previous life; at that time, her homeroom teacher also seemed to like observing students secretly like this.

However, she couldn't let them continue making such a ruckus.

After thinking for a moment, a soft smile appeared on Yun Mu's face.

"Quiet."

She said in a cold tone, and her aura as a Transcendental instantly spread throughout the classroom.

"Uh—"

Inside the classroom, the voices of all the children instantly vanished.

Yun Mu noticed a boy who seemed about to be scared to tears by her aura, so she immediately glared at him.

With just that one look, the boy instantly stifled the cry he was about to let out.

And outside the door, Waseke looked at the scene before him in surprise.

Afterward, a gratified smile appeared on his face, and muttering something like "the future is in good hands, this young person, wow, what great skill," he left.

"Hmm, not bad."

After the classroom returned to silence, Yun Mu withdrew the aura from her body.

"My name is Yun Mu; you can call me Teacher Yun~" She clapped her hands lightly, breaking the silent atmosphere in the classroom.

Yun Mu had not forgotten what she promised Miss Rose, that she would let these children relax properly.

Although she had just used her aura to scare these brats, that was only because they were too noisy and she wanted them to be quiet for a moment.

"Damn it, speak up, why is no one saying anything!"

After two or three seconds in the classroom where it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, Yun Mu slammed her hand on the desk and said.

"G-good day, Teacher Yun!" the children in the classroom shouted immediately, startled.

Just like that, Yun Mu's first harmonious teacher-student lesson, where the children all wore smiles, began.

One hour later.

Yun Mu said the words "Class dismissed" with great satisfaction, and under the "reluctant" gazes of the children, she left the classroom and followed the stairs to the second floor of the Painter Association.

However, strangely enough, Sixin, who was like an NPC and could be found in the painting room every day, was not in the painting room at this time.

"Could it be that he really has work to attend to?" Yun Mu was greatly shocked in her heart.

She returned to the first-floor lobby of the Painter Association and walked toward the location where Rose was.

"How was the feeling of teaching? Did the children listen well?" Upon seeing Yun Mu approach, Rose immediately asked.

"I think it was quite good," Yun Mu said truthfully: "The children were all quite obedient; whatever I said, they did."

PS: Aura is the sense of oppression caused by an Ether Body on other Ether Bodies.

Although ordinary people cannot perceive the state of an Ether Body, they can instinctively feel the power of a strong Ether Body.

By the way, actually, Yun Mu had also slightly mobilized some power of Mental Shock.

If she weren't afraid of causing problems, she might have even experimented with the effects of the 【Evil Mark】.

Hehehe!
