"Arf! Arf! Arf! Arf!"
"Mr. Cha has a dog?"
The students started asking questions because the loud barks disturbed their study session. But they were all excited because it was definitely a small breed dog from the cute barks.
"J—Just focus on the slide. We have a lot of topics to learn today," Cha Junshik tried to divert the students' attention back to the topic. But they were all already curious about the dog.
Meanwhile, Alpheus got upset because Sir Junshik Hyung ignored him.
"Arf! ARF! ARF! Grrrr…" Alpheus grunted and started nibbling on Sir Junshik Hyung's toes with his small fangs since he didn't wear shoes.
'Damn it, I should've used shoes right now," Junshik was enduring the itching nibbles on his toes. Alpheus really wanted his attention right now.
Not getting the attention that he wanted, Alpheus started barking again, "Arf! Arf! Sir, Sir Junshik Hyung!" Alpheus used his human voice accidentally because he really wanted Sir Junshik Hyung's attention right now.
—
"Huh?"
"Sir Junshik—?"
"Mr. Cha, is there any other person inside your house?"
—
Cha Junshik started panicking and finally crouched down to see the attention-craving werepom under the desk.
He glared at Alpheus, who looked at him with his sparkling doggie eyes, tongue sticking out, and tilted his head, "Sir Junshik Hyung, I have—"
"Ssh!" Junshik grabbed the Werepom's dog mouth and clasped it with his hand. He leaned in and whispered at Alpheus, 'What? Don't you see that I'm working right now?!'
Alpheus was surprised that Sir Junshik Hyung suddenly clasped his mouth. He pulled back to free himself, but before he could speak in human language again, Sir Junshik Hyung warned him in a low but overbearing voice, 'Do not speak in human language in your dog form loudly when I'm working or if there is someone else in the apartment. Speak slowly.'
Alpheus didn't understand why, but he just nodded obediently, 'Sir… I finished the task you gave me. I can jump to the bed….' Alpheus said in a low voice. His tiny feet did a few small jumps out of excitement.
Junshik was surprised because it was meant to hold Alpheus while he was busy teaching.
He didn't know how this Werepom could do it, but that got him curious as well.
He had to admit that Alpheus did an excellent job and gave him a pat in the head, 'Good boy.'
Alpheus' eyes sparkled even more. He was so happy that he could explode!
He jumped to Sir Junshik Hyung's face and licked his cheeks, "Arf! Arf! Arf!"
—
"Whoa, Mr. Cha seems to like the dog very much!"
"Yes, I can hear the dog barking happily as well!"
"Mr. Cha, please show us your dog!"
"Yes, please, Mr. Cha!"
—
Cha Junshik sighed and warned Alpheus, 'I will pick you up, but remember not to speak any human language. You could only bark."
"Sir, Yes Sir!"
Junshik finally picked Alpheus up and carried him with his hands. He showed the pure black Pomeranian to the camera. The students could see the black Pomeranian looked so happy with his tongue sticking out and the tail wagged left and right.
Alpheus didn't understand why there were so many faces on this screen, but he believed that Sir Junshik Hyung wouldn't put him in danger. So he just barked as a sign of hello, "Arf!"
—
"OMG! SO CUTE!"
"KYAAHH! That black Pomeranian is so cutteee!"
"Cute dog, cute dog!"
"Ahhh, I want to pet it!
"Mr. Cha, Mr. Cha! Who is the dog's name?"
—
"Uh…" Junshik paused for a moment when facing that question. He glanced at Alpheus, who still looked really happy. He was truly a naive young man. It made Junshik ponder if Alpheus ever thought of a bad thing in his life.
Now he had to name this dog in front of the students, he was thinking shortly, and come up with a cute name, "Alphie. His name is Alphie."
—
"Ohh, Alphie! Hi Alphie!"
"Alphie, so cuteee!"
"Alphie, come to noona if you want some dog treat!"
—
Alpheus got even more excited as people on the screen started calling his name. They looked so friendly to him, which never happened in his world because he was basically a legendary monster for many.
"Arf! Arf! Arf!" Alpheus started struggling, breaking free from Sir Junshik Hyung's grasp. He got so excited that he wanted to dance right in front of these people on the screen!
Junshik realized what Alpheus wanted to do, but he knew that Alpheus would bark even louder if he tried to stop him. Thus, he let Alpheus slip out of his grasp and landed right in front of the camera.
"Arf!" Alpheus said as he made a small dash on the long table and did a jump as a werepom right in front of the students, showing his skill as a Pomeranian,
--
"WHOOOAAAAAAH!"
"CUTEEE!"
"OH MY GOD, MY HEART!!
--
The students in the online class exploded, amazed, and melted by Alphie's small trick and cuteness. Alphie was happy that he could make other people look so glad.
But they were just Sir Junshik Hyung's fellow powerful mage!
The main goal of showing off was to make Sir Junshik Hyung proud, so he turned at Sir Junshik Hyung's direction and made a proud expression, wanting to be praised.
