This wizard only wishes to be a teacher

Chapter 1: Chapter 1: The Master Teacher System
A somewhat dimly lit room.
"Cough cough... Ah!" With a burst of coughing like a broken bellows, a figure clad in black robes opened his eyes. He clutched at his chest in some pain, where there was a terrifying piercing wound.
"Ah...!" Lucien bent over.
Pain, intense pain!
And when the pain in his body reached a threshold, it was as if a string in his brain suddenly snapped, and then, a large amount of unfamiliar memories began to rapidly merge with his original memories.
"Hehe..." Lucien gasped for breath, but his voice seemed a bit calmer at this time.
When he opened his eyes again, a touch of confusion was visible in his black pupils.
He seemed to have transmigrated into the Wizard World, into the body of a Third-level Wizard Apprentice named Lucien Kevin!
However, this did not seem to be the point; the point was, he seemed to be about to die.
That was a sad fact. But Lucien still felt rather screwed.
All he did was sleep on the podium, and now, not only is he not allowed to die peacefully, but he also had to switch to a new body before dying.
Could it be that the Wizard World had better feng shui?
Lucien pondered, while also touching the terrifying wound on his chest that had made speaking from the heart all too easy for him. Such a wound would have been fatal for an ordinary person.
According to the original host's memory, a week ago, he and his mentor were out on a mission, but just after they had left the Wizarding Academy, they were ambushed by a team led by mysterious people.
In that battle, his mentor, Pinor the Formal Wizard, was killed in action!
Lucien managed to escape using a one-time Witch Tool, but was still hit by a long-range spell cast by an opponent's Formal Wizard, piercing his chest. Although after returning to the Wizarding Academy he tried everything to heal, it could only delay the inevitable and was unable to cure him completely.
Though injuries caused by a Formal Wizard generally can be healed by other Formal Wizards if they are willing to pay a certain price.
But sadly, the original host had nothing that could move a Formal Wizard to offer assistance. Moreover, treating him might offend another Formal Wizard.
So for the past few days, he could only watch helplessly as the wound worsened. He was almost certain that he would die from wound infection within a month, and after death, he would probably be discarded in the Black Forest outside the academy like countless other dead Wizard Apprentices, left for the Blood Eye Crows and other low-level creatures to completely dismember his body.
And just at this point, Lucien transmigrated over, taking over the mess.
Hmm?
However, Lucien soon let out a surprised grunt.
Because he found that the corrosive power that had been plaguing his chest wound was rapidly disappearing. According to the original host's memories, that corrosive power came from the Formal Wizard who attacked them, and it was precisely this force in his chest that continuously interfered with Lucien's body's ability to recover, leaving him to just watch as he gradually grew weaker.
Now with the disappearance of that foreign wizarding power, it meant that the greatest obstacle inhibiting his body's recovery was gone; the remaining injuries, though horrific, at least didn't have to worry about him immediately dropping dead.
Could this be the so-called transmigration healing technique?
Regardless, Lucien breathed a sigh of relief. Struggling, he made his way to the experimentation table, picked up a tube filled with an inky green potion, directly pried open the stopper with his mouth, then without minding the faintly bitter taste of the potion, he downed it.
Glug, glug...
After taking the recovery potion, Lucien closed his eyes, silently waiting for the medicine to take effect. At the same time, he pondered where he should go from here in this strange Wizard World.
"In the time before Mentor Pinor's accident, his behavior seemed a bit unusual; he must have known something but did not tell the original host," Lucien said with a somewhat solemn expression.
In the Wizard World, the relationship between a mentor and a student is generally ordinary, unlike the father-like relationship seen in Chinese culture; in the Wizard World, the relationship between a mentor and most students is more akin to the unequal relationship between a laborer and an apprentice. While the student receives the mentor's protection and knowledge, they also need to give something back, and sometimes they are exploited.
So Lucien did not feel too sad about the death of his original host's mentor. He was just a bit worried that the Formal Wizard who killed the mentor might still come looking for trouble from himself, a mere pawn.
Of course, such cases are relatively rare, and moreover, perhaps in the eyes of the attacker, he, a pitiful apprentice hit by their spell, was probably already dead somewhere unknown, right?
A bitter smile appeared on Lucien's pale face.
Although the foreign wizarding power that had lodged itself in his chest had been cleansed, he was still in a critically injured state with dramatically reduced strength, and recovery to his peak condition would not be easy.
```
In this harsh, rational to the point of cold-blooded Wizard World, could he really adapt and survive? A hint of bewilderment flitted through Lucien's eyes.
Just at that moment, a transparent screen suddenly appeared in front of Lucien, with lines of text emerging and continuously updating.
[Detecting that the host has left the dangerous state, binding Teacher System...]
[15%...35%...79%...99%...]
[System binding successful]
[Host]: Lucien Kevin
[Strength]: Third-level Wizard Apprentice
[Health Status]: 46.3% (Severely Injured)
[Bound Students]: 0/1
[Reverence Value]: 0/1000
[Knowledge List]: (Click to see details)
[Friendly Reminder]: You currently have no bound students. It is recommended to bind a student as soon as possible to unlock all functions of the system. For details of the functions, please refer to the specific features.
When he saw this attribute panel, Lucien was first stunned, but then he was engulfed in ecstasy.
Indeed, the panel is the true essence of a transmigrator!
Only what puzzled him was why his system was a Teacher System?
Lucien suppressed the curiosity in his heart and started to examine the specific features of the system.
Soon, he found the description of the specific features in a popup area on the side of the system panel.
Lucien's lips couldn't help but twitch twice.
His Teacher System was somewhat outrageous.
In short, its only two functions were based on students.
[Teaching Rules of Eminent Teachers]: You can teach your bound students to receive rewards. Once they successfully master the knowledge, you can obtain the upgraded version of the corresponding knowledge.
[Reverence Value Rules]: If your students genuinely revere you, you will earn Reverence Value. The amount of Reverence Value you receive is related to the student's strength and level of reverence. Reverence Value is a very precious system currency that can be used for internal consumption and upgrading the system.
After roughly examining the system features, Lucien looked at his empty room and curled his lips.
The original inhabitant indeed had two students, but those two unfortunate ones had already fallen in that attack. Now, he could say he didn't even have a couple of big cats; a starkly solitary figure.
Moreover, although a Third-level Wizard Apprentice has the qualifications to recruit assistants or students, considering his current circumstances with the death of his mentor and his severe injuries, it was downright impossible to attract any students.
After all, a tree on the verge of falling doesn't possess any value to cling to.
This was some lousy luck, like being caught in a closed loop:
Q: How to recruit a student?
A: Demonstrate your value, show off your muscles.
Q: How to demonstrate your value, show off your muscles?
A: Increase your strength.
Q: How to increase your strength?
A: Recruit a student.
Are the three of you teaming up to glitch me out here?
