Soar Throat

"Can we ask what the video is about, or the title of it? Because we are sure that just searching a 10-layered Magic Circle isn't going to work." The same student who asked the question couldn't help but ask another since now that she knows that there is actually a video about something this great, she would of course want to watch it. However, it was more right to say that it was everyone.

"Hmmm… I forgot the title of it, but if I remember correctly, it was the fight between the US strongest Guild, the Astral's Guild Master, and the Demon Prince of Hell. That's all that I remember from it since that is from a very long time ago, about like 30-40 years ago." Mio said as she gave out the description of the video, though she only gave that as a reference so that is what the people are going to search for.

Because if they were to try and look up to it themselves, there was a good chance that they could find her video. Where it showed her creating a 10-layered Magic Circle to defeat a Gate all by herself, and she doesn't want that to happen because if they did manage to find that video, they might recognize her. Her Magic Circles all have a distinct feature to them and it is that they are all colored black, that is why when she creates one now, she puts extra effort just to change it, but if it were just normal, it would be black.

And out of the history of Earth, she was the only one who could do a Black Magic Circle, and it was partly why she was called the "Primordial Goddess of Death" because of her association with blacks. It was almost cliche, but she didn't have any say in that as people already started to call her that title which for her was very bad.

"Alright! Thank you so much Teacher Mio for answering my question." With a satisfied smile, the student finally sat down.

With that, Mio was finally able to finish her lesson which just took about 2 hours of her time and at this point, she was already so bored that she began to walk around the stage to at least do something, it seemed that sitting for more than 2 hours was tiring enough for her body. She also saw that some of her students also begun to get bored and some even fell asleep, they were no longer listening to her lesson, but she couldn't really blame them as this was all too boring. So, she decided to do a small activity for them.

"I see that all of you are bored after listening too much to my discussion, so I'll give you guys an easy activity to at least ease your boredom, but all of you still gotta remember that this is going to be graded, so be serious about it," Mio said as she begins to explain to them what they were going to do.

What Mio had planned for them to do was very easy just as she said, but it was going to be a group activity. Each Group would need to draw a Magic Circle that they thought would benefit the School the reason it was a Group Activity is that Mio had tasked them to make at least a 5-layered or more Magic Circle, and each one should be different from the others.

Mio gave them 30 minutes to draw and think of one, this also gave her some time to rest as talking for 2 hours straight was more straining than she thought, but when she thinks about it again, she was not the type to be so talkative, that is whys he found it hard. So she excused herself and brought Somi along with her to grab some drink, but before she could leave, she was stopped by Carol and Alice.

"Where are you going Teacher Mio, can I tag along with you guys?" Carol who was very friendly immediately went to the side of Mio and asked her if she could come with them to wherever they were going, and from her look, it seems that she doesn't care where they are going, she just wants to go wherever Mio is going.

"Oh, I'm just going to grab a drink real quick, and maybe grab some food for my little sister because she's hungry. I already gave the students some work to do, plus I'm going to come back. It's fine if I leave right?" Mio asked nonchalantly as she looked at the two with no emotion in her eyes as right now she just wanted to grab a drink and food for Somi.

Alice who for the first time saw this kind of look and emotion out of Mio found it really uncomfortable because she was already used to seeing Mio being the complete opposite, she was more carefree and positive. Mio's attitude of being a tease, but still kind and gentle, was the kind of attitude Alice was used to, not this kind of cold and aloof version of Mio. She was even a little afraid because of how she acted.

Mio who saw the fearful look of Alice suddenly felt bad because she was suddenly caught in her bad mood and there was no absolute reason why she should be affected by it because it is her own problem for being a Teacher. She can only blame herself for trying to ease her boredom in such a way.

"I'm sorry Principal Alice, I didn't mean to scare you. My throat just slightly hurts because of talking too much and it affected my mood a little, so I'm sorry if you got affected by it." Mio apologized as she took back her negative emotion and went back to being herself as she would feel even worse if she made Alice more uncomfortable than she already is.

"No… it's fine. I was just surprised that you have that kind of side to you. I would never guessed it because you are always so carefree and kind, gentle and sweet to everyone. But I guess it is my fault for setting up this schedule of yours." Alice quickly took back her frightened look as it was seen by her and she immediately felt guilty about it since it was partially her fault.

"It's fine, you don't have to apologize for that Principal Alice. I chose to accept this job anyway so it's my fault too, but it's not like I'm going to give up because of it. I wasn't just used to talking this much, but I'm going to adapt to it rather quickly, so don't worry." Mio said with a smile as she eased Alice's worries, it seemed that the woman in front of her thought that she was going to quit because of it, and when Alice heard that she was not going to quit, she was happy.

"I'm happy to hear about that… but please remember to tell me if your job is getting too hard because I can still adjust it a little bit." Alice sighed in relief after that.

"Yeah. I'll be sure to remember that." Mio smiled more but this time Alice felt that it was a little different, and her face couldn't help but burn red.
