Bab 94: How to teach: by RIver (pt. 1)
"This round's gonna be a boring one. A champion versus some noname, this is just gonna be a one-sided beating." They're right about the fight being one-sided, but not in that way.
After all, I'm the supposed weakling here, so you can kinda predict how the fight will go.
"Heh, so you've made a name for yourself as a champion. Fight in lots of tournaments, I assume?" I stood in front of the man, the same one who sat beside me a minute ago, with my hands in pockets.
"You bastard. Do you really think you can afford to stand in such an open position against an opponent stronger than you?" Having strength ruins people like that.
"You? A strong opponent. Yeah, okay. Go at me then." Hearing my reaction, his eyes filled with rage and, and he charged at me.
I put my hand out, waiting for him to get carried by the momentum and pierce his chest, but he dashed to the left at the last moment.
"Didn't expect that, did you? Haha!" Being to my left now, he thrust his dagger forward.
"Oh, so you also use a dagger. Cool." I gave him a wry smile.
"What?" He was sure he got me with the attack, but only after seeing my expression did he realize that I was fine.
Looking down, he saw a gaping hole in his stomach and collapsed on the ground. The healing magic users ran over to the arena as soon as the battle was called over, frantically trying to cover the wound.
"He's good as dead. There's no way your low-class healing spells can heal something like this." Hope was draining from their faces.
After all, they lost a very valuable unit and a potential teacher.
Taking a healing potion from my inventory, I fed it to the dying man.
"What is he doing? Haah?!" The few people present stared at the man in disbelief. His wound gone, he stood back up on his feet, shaking in fear before running away.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect to meet such a promising individual on the first day of the tournaments." The judge stood up, pleased by my performance.
"So I passed? Great. Now, I'd just like you to keep your mouth shut about me. If somebody finds out that the teacher is able to beat the champion, I'm sure to get some nobles as students, and I just can't bear their presence." It sucks, meeting so many random people I'm not gonna remember.
I'm awful with names and faces as is, and now there are, like, ten more characters to keep track of.
Long story short, I was introduced to a team of students; 20 people, all of them between the age of 14 and 30.
~~~
"Let's see.. Damn, there's no way I'm gonna remember your names. Shit's going way too fast." Just yesterday I decided to become a teacher, and I've already taken part in some tournament, and seen a lot of new faces I'm definitely gonna forget the next morning.
"So.. Umm, let's see here. I wanna get things nice and organized. All of you, stand in a line, youngest to oldest." First things first, I'd like to determine each person's physique, stats, and all that.
"Since there are twenty of you, I'm gonna split you up into four groups." I went towards the left side of the line, the youngest people in the group.
"Level 23. Not bad for a boy of that age. You must have hunted a good bunch of monsters, and it looks like you do quite a lot of physical activities as well. Tell me about yourself then." The boy proudly nodded.
"My name is James, Sir! My goal is to build up strength and experience so that I can fight for my village and feed my family. My points have been distributed as follows:
{Intelligence: 12
{Agility: 15
{Strength: 15
{MovementSpeed: 15
{Stamina: 15
." I like what he's doing with his stats. Intelligence is not that helpful early on, so he basically just put his excess point into int just in case.
"Good, good. What about your titles and abilities?" I need to figure out exactly what he's capable of, and I'm doing so for a reason.
"Oh, r-right. I'm very sorry I forgot about such a basic thing, sir!" He lowered his eyes, expecting to get scolded. Whoever raised him taught him to behave this way, I suppose.
"Whatever. I just need to know a grasp of what you're able to do." These people are clearly anxious, and some are looking at me with confusion.
"Yes, sir!
[Abilities]
Substitute C-: this ability allows me to convert my mana into either stamina or health.
[Titles (passive abilities)]
Analytic thinking F
Poisonous blood D
." He has some very rounded stat distribution, as well as generally helpful skills.
"So, James, you have the right qualities to be a team leader, so step out of the line." Having said that, I went to the next person.
An hour later, I finally had all the people's stats memorized, and found four other people to go together with James.
~~~
"Here you go, guys. A team of five people with the perfect composition. There's the leader, with good stats and strength overall, a mage with earth magic to help protect the other team members, a physical damage dealer with a dagger, a user of the rare metal element specializing in ranged attacks, and a support with a speed buff and health recovery buff." It took me a good twenty minutes to compose the team, but it should help then survive.
"When I first went out to grind for levels, I made the mistake of not having a proper party with me, which is why I almost got killed a bigillion times. Who cares if you have to share your experience with your team? You'll still find and kill the enemies a lot faster together, plus it's a whole lot safer." I went on a bit of a rant.
"My point is, being teamed with someone is the way to go. In fact, I'm with a teammate right now, but I can't show him to you yet, cause I really don't know how trustworthy you lot are." I then told the other 15 to form three groups of five as well.
Of course, the older ones expressed their displeasure, because they haven't been taught teamwork or anything like that, and have instead been taught to swing their sword/cast their spell for hours upon end.
My approach didn't make sense to anyone, but I'm sure they'll get it once they actually have a proper fight. They also couldn't really complain, since the guild's rules state that you have to listen to your assigned teacher.

Welp, bye.
