Teaching for more then 500 Students!?

Alice was momentarily shocked when she saw how easily Mio reached out her hand for her, it was as if it was just natural but for her, it was the complete opposite because a lot of things were currently running through her mind right at this moment. She went completely blank and as if her body acted on its own, it clasped Mio's hand and shook it stiffly which made Mio chuckle in response because she could easily read what Alice was thinking.

She was probably thinking of the scene that happened a few hours ago where she carried her to the sofa in her sleep. She is not going to lie that she finds it cute, but for the reason she found it that way, she is not too sure herself. Maybe it was because she was the daughter of her best friend whom she trusted the most which made her the Auntie. Or maybe there was another reason for it. So when she felt Alice grab her hand, she pulled her over and whispered something in her ears before backing away like nothing happened. Of course, her actions made some other people gasp in shock because no one would have thought that the newly assigned teacher would be so bold.

"Did you read the letter that I left for you at your office?" Mio's words were enough to make Alice wake up from her thoughts, but when she finally processed what she actually said, she blushed in embarrassment because she now finally confirmed who the person was. Though she already knew who it was in her mind, her heart was trying its best to reject that idea for some unknown reason. But then she remembers something.

"Letter? What do you mean?" Alice asked in confusion as she was now trying her best to cover her embarrassment by changing the subject. Mio sees through it easily, but she simply lets it go as she simply finds all of her actions to be pleasing to the eyes.

"It seems that you didn't see it, but it's fine. You can go read it later, Principal. Now, I believe that the party is over and it's time for us to teach Class again, right?" Mio answered in a mysterious tone as she turned over to her fellow teachers and asked them. They all quickly agreed to what Mio said and quickly tidied up the Faculty Room before saying goodbye to everyone and finally leaving the room with smiles on their faces.

"You are not leaving yet, Principal Alice? Do you have something to say to me in private that you can't share with others?" Mio asked when she saw that Alice was still in the Faculty Room and seemed as if she was waiting for her to leave. She was confused by her actions because there was no reason for her to stay unless she wanted to say something in private to her and because of that, she looked at her and waited for an answer.

"Ummm… Actually yes, though it is more of a favor. Since your schedule is now done it seems that you have read it already, right? Did you see that in your second period, you have a Mass Teaching and when I mean Mass, I mean really big because it consists of all the Classes combined? And I know… it is a big number, probably a little over 500 students, but please hear me out first before you say something. The reason that I did this is because I thought that it would be better because as you know, the lessons about Magic Theory are so few and inefficient because we are lacking, and I'm afraid to say it, but it's simply the truth…" Alice said with a sad face as she took a deep breath before continuing.

"Having you teach all the Students is a big thing for us since it is actually going to save us a lot of time and please don't worry about anything! If you have something that you are displeased with, please say it to me now because I can still arrange it! But please, can you listen to this selfish wish of mine, not as the Principal but as a fellow Hero... I want to strive for the best that we can for these students. And you may be the key to that." Alice finally said all of the things that she wanted to say to Mio but after saying all of it she refused to look at Mio's face because she knew that what she was wishing for Mio to do was simply outrageous. Even if she was paid a high salary because of it, no sane person would agree to her quickly.

If teaching for less than 50 students was already a nightmare, you can just simply imagine how it would be like to be teaching 10X that amount. It was simply outrageous.

"Ah, is that so? Actually, there is no problem with that, though I do have one condition. And no, if you are thinking of raising my salary, I don't need it. I need something else. I want you to give me the full authority on them and when I say authority, I'm not asking for some just normal things that a teacher can do. As for why I'm asking this request, simply because I don't want to die early having high blood pressure, but please don't worry, I'm not going to be physical at them, at most I'm just going to be as real as possible, and worst situation, I'm just going to fail them in that Class. Despite being like this, I'm actually quite a harsh and strict teacher. If someone doesn't want to follow me, then you can expect that person to break down because of what I have said to them. So… is that alright?" Mio asked with a slight smile on her face as she looked at Alice.

"Personally, I think there is no problem with that since I also know the pain of teaching, let alone for more than 500 students. But the real problem is the Family of the Nobles that are studying here. I think if you say some harsh words and if those students eventually decide to talk about it with their parents… I think you already know where it is heading." Alice said with a sad smile on her face, even if she wanted to agree, she also needed to consider the feelings of the Students and their Families.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about that, Alice. Your Mother is going to be the one who handles them. After all, she still owes me some favors~" Mio answered with a chuckle but before Alice could respond, she already disappeared.

"How… how did she know about Mom?"
