[Chapter 112 Comments]

“We’re finally back.” The twins stretched their bodies. They seemed pretty exhausted, both physically and mentally.

The return trip was rather uneventful, considering they had just crossed the previous path. The portal had been arranged as they received the message from Christina the previous night.

So, it only took them a few minutes to go through the portal and return to the modern realm. The one that exhausted them was indeed a bloody battle.

“Because of the level of the mission, you are free to take one or two days off. It’s not like we’re going to cover up important things in the class. And we’ll use the rest of the month to prepare for the midterm exam.” Theo explained while patting their shoulders.

“Really?” The twins looked at Theo with high expectations.

“Yeah. I have arranged for a little bit of vacation after the exams, but you better work hard since the ones who don’t get good grades will suffer during the vacation.” Theo smirked.

“Geh.” The twins exchanged looks before making a wry smile as if telling each other that they should study together.

Jayden asked, “Teacher. Pardon me for asking. Will there be another mission before the exams?”

“The exams are supposed to be held in three weeks, so no. We don’t have enough time. It’s going to be summer after we’re done with the exams, so it’s perfect for a vacation. It’s not like there is any specific schedule for the current curriculum, so I’m just testing things.” Theo explained.

“In that case, would we get some free time after that vacation?”

“Indeed. It’s a perfect time for you to get some rest and review your performance for the past four months, so yeah, there will be a long holiday for all of you.”

“Are you planning to visit the Demon Realm during the holiday?” Jayden’s expression turned serious. Someone as strong as Theo should have enough qualifications to return to the Demon Realm and there was a chance that Theo would never return to the academy if that happened.

“You don’t have to worry about that. While I’m planning a private trip with Mia, it’s not going to be in the Demon Realm. I don’t have any plans to go there for the time being.” Theo shook his head. He obviously loved to spend some intimate time with his daughter, but he hadn’t decided on a place to visit.

“Then, Teacher! How about visiting our Spirit World? This is outside the school’s work, so we are free to suggest a place, right?” The twins interjected, taking this opportunity.

“Hahaha. I won’t tell any of you where I’m going.” Theo chuckled. “Anyway, let’s return to the academy.”

They agreed without hesitation as Theo ordered a taxi to bring them back to the academy.

Jayden and the twins immediately bid their farewells and returned to their dorms. Unfortunately, Theo couldn’t do the same as he had to report to Principal Victoria first. She even took some time to wait for him after hearing that the mission this time required a lot of consideration from the academy.

But before that, his focus turned to Aurora, who had yet to return to her dorm.

“What’s wrong? Do you have anything to tell me?” Theo asked.

“Teacher. Are you really a god?” Aurora asked with a hesitant tone.

“You could consider me anything, but I still look at myself as a human. If I am a god, would that also mean Mia is also considered half divine?”

“That’s…” Aurora looked down. While Mia was a special child, she was still down to earth. So, it was hard to think of her as a goddess. “Does that mean your wife is not a goddess?”

“There you go. The only thing different between me and normal people is our power and lifespan. That’s all.” Theo shrugged. “Don’t think much about it. I’m your teacher; that’s all you need to know.”

“Then, how long is a normal lifespan for a human in your world, Teacher?”

“Hmm…” Theo recalled that the people from the Demon Realm had a similar lifespan to those in his original world. The Demon Realm often sacrificed their own lifespan for power though. So, he had just given her a rough estimate. “About a hundred years? Why are you asking this question? Are you tired? Go sleep.”

“No, I’m just wondering if I wait for a hundred years before becoming your wife, is it considered cheating or not? I don’t need sleep, I need an answer.”

Theo chuckled and flicked her forehead. “See? You’re tired. If you still find it hard to accept what happened to your uncle, you could come to my office and talk it out.”

Theo handled it pretty maturely as Aurora’s heart was still shaken after what happened to her uncle. So, she just brought out random topics to hide her sadness.

After that, Theo waved his hand and headed to the academy to meet the principal.

As expected of the one who built this school, she had been working tirelessly the whole time. Even at this time, she hadn’t stopped checking the documents from all the teachers.

“It seems that your trip this time was eventful.” Victoria started the conversation lightheartedly.

However, Theo only showed a concerned face, indirectly implying that he wasn’t excited about it.

“Actually…” Theo began recounting everything that happened on the mission.

Victoria’s mouth was wide open at the end of the story. She couldn’t believe what she had just heard.

“All that happened in the span of a few days? How are the students’ conditions? Are they suffering from PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)?”

“I’m not sure, but at least, they are strong children. They should be able to overcome it sooner or later. If I see a deterioration in their mental state, I’ll seek help from a professional.”

“That’s good if that’s the case. Please monitor them.” Victoria contemplated for a moment. “It seems that we have to be even more careful in selecting the mission. Then again, it’s impossible to know their motives since even a mission from the royal family could be changed that way.”

“Yeah. It’s even more concerning with the fact that most of the students in the current batch are coming from famous organizations or families.”

“Do you have any suggestions?”

“Nothing at the moment.”

“In that case, I will put this into consideration first. Also, this matter is not really related, but maybe they are? I’m not sure. One of the teachers actually suggested creating after-school clubs.”

“Do you mean extracurricular activities?”

“Yeah. Instead of giving the mission directly to the teacher, what about giving it directly to a certain club? Of course, the teacher in charge of that club will be reviewing it. Once the academy grows, the club will also provide an opportunity for students from different classes and grades to learn from each other.”

“I don’t really mind the idea, but it will be troublesome if there is corruption within the group. And the teacher might be related to them and approve the mission, only to either help them or send them to their death.”

“I see. That’s also concerning.”

“One more thing. It will be troublesome if one club becomes too big because they are popular. And with ten worlds being merged together, students from the same world are more likely to band together. So, we will end up dividing them completely.”

Theo’s reasoning made some sense. It would be far easier to talk with someone from the same world. “How about creating a student council to control them?”

“I have to reject that idea completely. As I said earlier, there are ten worlds merging right now. If we create a student council that stands above them, I’m sure something similar to a throne war will occur. I don’t want politics to be involved in the academy.”

It looked like the current system worked better than any suggestions. But it would be problematic for a class with a lot of students. The teacher wouldn’t be able to keep up.

She either had to divide the class even further or create a new system.

“Oh, there is one more thing. What do you think about having a joint class? This way, students from different classes can meet with each other.”

“I don’t mind as long as the students and the teachers are open to that idea. I don’t want the previous incident to happen again.” Theo was referring to Teacher Gareth.

“I can understand your concern. It’s just a suggestion, so I have to discuss it with other board members.” Victoria shrugged. “As for the matter regarding the Mythical Realm, I will take care of it. And thank you for helping them.”

“You’re welcome.” Theo nodded. Victoria should have known those people since a lot of people from the Mythical Realm were entrusted to the academy.

“One last thing. What do you have in mind about the midterm exams?”

“I have to confirm this. Will it be written exams or practical exams?”

“Both. They will have another test similar to the recruitment test to measure their improvement. While it’s not the best method, we try to diversify it as much as possible so that the improvement is shown in at least one of them.”

“The written exams?”

“It will be up to you. The students need to know the world’s situation as well as the enemies they might encounter when going out, so they should at least study that much.”

“In that case, you don’t mind if I change the method?”

“Yes. In fact, I’m looking forward to what kind of idea you have in mind.”

“You will definitely like it.” Theo chuckled while turning away. “Since we are done here, it’s time for me to go back. Good night, Principal.”

“Good night.”
