Chapter 132: Dungeons

[Pinnalce Academy, Lecture Room #1: Class 1-A]

"Good morning, everyone. I'm Mr. Bennett, and as you know, I'll be lecturing on everything dungeon-related. If you spot me around campus, feel free to say hello."

He smiled a warmth that didn't quite reach his eyes.

A buzz of whispers rippled through the lecture room.

"He doesn't seem strict at all..." one student murmured.

"Maybe we can slack off a bit," another chuckled.

In the back, someone sighed, "Finally, a normal teacher."

Bennett let the chatter wash over him, that friendly smile never wavering.

"Alright, settle down, everyone."

He fiddled with his laptop, a picture of harmless normality. Moments later, the projector flickered to life, the words "WHAT ARE DUNGEONS?" glowing on the screen.

"Hmm, an interesting question, a pretty standard question I say, Let's hear some thoughts."

Bennett leaned back, the picture of warm curiosity.
