Perspective: Aliyah

"What in the world is this weather."

Following the team into the forest, little did I expect to be faced with swirling snow everywhere!

"Teacher..."

A student beside me turned and asked in a low voice.

"Have you ever encountered such a strange phenomenon before?"

"You mean suddenly snowing? Well, I do know someone who can probably do it, but what's the point of specifically summoning snow, right?"

I tightened the cotton coat I had prepared in advance.

"Of course, it's definitely a bit cold."

"Not just a bit cold, this is extremely cold!"

The speaking student shrank a little.

"I envy those studying magic, they should have resistance to ice, right? They wouldn't feel cold at all..."

"Well..."

I shrugged.

"Perhaps."

"Those at the back, stop chatting and pick up the pace, we are already falling behind that ragtag class! We must not let them get the treasure after them!"

The homeroom teacher of this class yelled ahead.

This guy was Wade, a retired heavy knight from the Knights of the Witte Empire, with a character that could be described as hot-tempered and straightforward. Well, he definitely reminded me of my homeroom teacher from my fragmented memory.

However, he was also quite unpopular, as upon hearing his words, the student who had just talked to me immediately fell silent. While the students in the class were not afraid of this guy, he was mainly... explosive.

Just imagine, being bombarded with verbal assaults by a big muscle uncle for hours or just shutting up immediately. Which one would you choose? The answer is obvious.

Yes, this muscle homeroom teacher didn't educate with his fists but with reason.

I don't know if the average person could tolerate it, but I knew that most of our class couldn't.

It's like mental pollution...

Speaking of the ragtag class that the homeroom teacher mentioned... yes, it was Fir's class.

A class mixed with commoners, nobles, mages, and knights, labeled as a ragtag class, with a hint of envy as well.

After all, aside from other factors, this class had two princesses, and the homeroom teacher was a renowned figure in Blue Lake City.

Yes, that Fir, although I don't know if he's aware of his own reputation. But his reputation in Blue Lake City is quite significant.

Even the Duke of Somerlundor decided to erect his statue in Blue Lake City, well... probably that guy who's usually messing around didn't even pay attention to this kind of information.

Of course, this may have something to do with Miss Samehi being in Fir's class, but it's true that Fir is quite well-known now.

But that blockhead probably hasn't noticed...

Just as I was thinking, a gust of cold wind blew, and I shrank again.

Though I didn't understand why it was snowing, it was definitely related to those dark clouds floating in the sky. What on earth was that thing, it felt like there was something hiding inside, but I couldn't see any names or identifiers.

Well, since I couldn't see, it meant that the other party was quite strong; there was no need to act recklessly, right?

"You all seem to be in quite a predicament~"

At this moment, another team appeared ahead of us.

I hadn't noticed them just now, probably because it was too cold.

"That's right, but even though you're okay for now, it won't be easy for you later on, will it?"

Wade immediately responded.

This team that showed up...well, I don't know if it's destiny or not, but it turns out it's the class led by Wade's wife Vesta.

But unlike Wade, Vesta teaches a magic class.

Yes, Vesta herself is a mage, and a fire mage at that.

"Tch, all talk, as usual."

Vesta doesn't look like she's in her forties, she appears just a few years older than Ms. Mary, probably thanks to being a mage.

She is dressed in a mage robe and looks very comfortable.

Of course, the reason for that is the flaming fireball floating above her and her team.

Oh my, is this a show of off?

Speaking of fire, even though I can summon it too, mine is a combat buff. Using it drains my energy bar way too quickly, and it's not worth it.

"I say, Fir's class has already gone up the mountain, the explosion just now must be related to them. How about we cooperate? We mages aren't good at close combat, and you, it seems like you could use our help, right?"

"We just..."

Wade was about to speak when he saw his students nodding non-stop.

These guys, due to Wade's request, were equipped with protective gear, meaning they were wearing metal armor.

Haha, just not freezing to death is already lucky.

"On behalf of the class, I accept your proposal," I quickly said.

Although I'm not the head teacher, I am responsible for another aspect of this class, so I have some authority.

After my words, all the students from our class quickly gathered under the fireball of the other team, looking very happy, leaving Wade looking twitchy.

"I say, old Wade, you should really let go of your indifferent stubbornness,"

I looked at Wade and said.

"I..."

"Exactly, you're so old now, yet every day you're as fussing as a woman, I really don't know how you got by in the military back then."

Vesta also had a look of steel, and under our gaze, Wade could only helplessly scratch his head and then shrink into his team.

Haha, such a troublesome guy.

But, it's easier to handle guys like him. Unlike Fir, who is completely unruly and impossible to control.

...

Huh, that guy, I can't be bothered.

"Let's set off quickly, or else we won't get anything this time we're out."

Vesta said.

"Let's hurry to the mountain, or else others will take all the good stuff."

If Fir finds the treasure, everything will be looted, you guys are too naive.

Come to think of it, why hasn't he sent any messages?

Thinking that, I opened the terminal and checked my friend list.

...

"Eh?"

Strangely, everyone on the list was grayed out. In other words, everyone was out of range?

"How can this be? Those guys are only a few kilometers away from me, how can there be no signal?"

Boom!

Just as I was pondering, a loud noise suddenly came from not far away!

Looking up, a huge snowman plummeted from the sky!

What?

A snowman?

Are you kidding me?

"You guys go up the mountain! I'll go distract that guy!"

I shouted as the snowman lowered its head towards us.

At the same time, I felt a surge of heat throughout my body - werewolf transformation!

"Oh, teacher, go for it!"

"Teacher is super cute! You must win!"

"What are you guys talking about! Who taught you all this!"

I realized something was off right after I yelled.

Damn it, they are the ones I taught...
