Don't touch me you scum teacher!
Rekka, followed by Julian, slowly walked the academy's hallways. Both of them parted their way as they arrived at the academy teachers' room. After seeing his student walked away to the class, Rekka trying to remember the old Rekka's recollections of the academy's teachers. As expected from the renowned trash teacher, the majority of Rekka colleagues were not really fond of interacting with his past self. Except for some teachers who has a similar situation with him, there were only a handful of teachers that had a somewhat close relationship with him. Well, at least they did not shun him as much as others.
As he memorized all the teachers' name and their personalities, he opened the door to the teachers' room and went to his table. Some of the teachers greeted him as ordinary colleagues did and some showed their obvious disgust at him. Just as he prepared his study material before went to the class, a middle-aged teacher with a pompous appearance stand beside his table.
"Well...well...well. Who we got here? The infamous trash himself" Said the pompous old man to Rekka with a face full of ridicule.
Rekka looked at the incoming headache as he memorized who was it. The man was Gilian Gallant, the second born of the late Gallant Family head. He was the typical second-generation son in Rekka's previous world. Arrogant but without the skills. He was kicked out by his elder brother because of his attitude that smeared his family name.
After being kicked out of the family he became a teacher at the academy by his family connection. Because of the said family connection, he then teacher class B where the majority of its student were noble sons and daughters.
"Well...well...well. Isn't it mister Gallant, the forever number two teacher." Replied Rekka, as he called Gilian by his sore spot of the nickname.
The man has a terrible inferiority complex. He was defeated by his elder brother at the race for his family head spot. In the academy, his class also came second to class A, which was mentored by the most talented teacher in the academy. Even though his class full of wealthy nobles and merchant's sons and daughters that were relied on their family financial prowess, his class always came in second place at most of the academy competitions.
"You..?!" shouted Gillian with a furious face as his sore spot was touched. The man's temper was equally bad as Rekka remembered. Gillian was not the best teacher in the academy but his magic talent was still could not be underestimated. His magic power flared up as he could not handle being ridiculed by the lowest teacher in the academy.
Rekka instinctively grabbed his sword as he prepared the upcoming magic. But before Gilian unleashed his magic, a loud voice disrupted his magic. "Don't you dare to cast magic in this holy place for learning!"
Both Rekka and Gilian along with the rest of the teachers in the room look at the man who shouting before. There was stood an elderly man with a stoic face glaring at both of them. The elderly man was the academy vice principal, the second strongest person in the academy. His name was Albert Wallace.
"Vice Principal Wallace," Said all the teachers in the room including Rekka and Gillian with full of respect.
The elderly man slowly walks to stand in both Rekka and Gillian. The shear amout of pressure emitted by the old man made both of them gradually put their head down, like children that were caught red-handed by their elder. Albert Wallace then scolded them.
"Gallant, your age almost twice Redstones age and you can't stop arguing with the boy. Don't you know you look like a fool by acting so. And Redstones, you need to watch for your already bad reputation, you need to mind your action more. And go to my office now! There are some matters that we need to talk about."Said Vice Principal Wallace to both of them sternly. Then he looked at the rest of the teachers in the room "And the rest of you. Don't you have class to teach?!"
After the old man scolding the room went quite as the teachers went to their class. Gillian looked at Rekka as his anger still not queled down. Rekka on the other hand your shrughed his shoulder not minding the situation. Even though he was summoned by the Vice Principal, he was not worried as the elder was a reasonable man. He then walked into the vice principal room then wait for the owner of the room came inside.
"Sir" Rekka greeted the old man with respect as the old man entering the room.
"Sit down boy," Albert said to the young man in front of him.
Rekka then sat on the couch across the old man and looked at the old man wondering what will this elder wanted to talk about. Albert then slowly inspect the young man that was sat across him. He then slightly surprised at the young man's demeanor as he remembered this young man was rather depressing to look at lately. "You have changed"
The old man's words shocked Rekka a bit, he thought that the old man was very attentive as he could tell the difference in his action and bearing. Of course Rekka knew that his personality was slightly different than the original Rekka. The original was depressed by his situation so much that he ended himself. After overcoming his shock, Rekka then answered the old man "I just found a motivation lately."
"Good, young man should be motivated not depressed." Albert nodded at Rekka words. Then he sighed at the thought of this young man situations. "That rumours about you...I believe that was not true?"
"No, Sir. That was not true at all"
"To be honest, I already investigated the incident and found that someone framed you and made it seem that you violated Brant young lady. Unfortunately, that girl fell unconscious and cannot testify for you."
After Rekka heard Albert words, he paused for a second and looked slightly shocked before he replied softly "I see..."
"I wanted you help you as Ricard was my fellow comrade and I did received a lot of help from him. But..." Albert then sighed again at the thought that he could not help his friend's son.
"Sir... don't worry about me. I will find another way to clear my name. I will not let my father name smeared." Rekka said resolutely. He then added " Even though this matter directed at me, Alice Brant also wronged by this incident. As she is also my student, I cannot let my student be wronged. I will clear this rumour as soon as possible."
"Nice thinking there. But you have to be careful. Because of this matter, the Brant family is become hostile to you, as you are 'the cause' of their young lady misfortune. Good, now go to your class"
"Yes, Sir."

Rekka walked the hallways to his class looked somewhat absentminded. As the matter of fact, he was starring at the floating panel in front of him. Before when he chatted with the vice pricipal be was paused for a second because of this new notification that popped up.

As Rekka was preoccupied with system notification, he did not know that a young lady stood in front of him. He accidentally bumped the young lady and both of them fell. The first thing he did after he recovered was to apologize to the young lady "Sorry I am a bit distracted"
Rekka offered his hand to help the girl stand up, but his hand was slapped by the girl instead. He then looked at the girl in front of him. The girl was one of his students, her name is Irene Rosewald, the daughter of Count Rosewald. The girl also have a nickname, Black Rose of Einhoren. She was known as talentless daughter of Rosewalds. She often compared to her elder sister that famous a talented White Rose of Einhoren. Another fact about this girl, she was Alice Brant best friend, hence her enmity toward Rekka.
