Let's Train Heroine

"That\'s all for today\'s lesson. There will be a quiz at the beginning of the next class, so please review today\'s material."

As Lucan concluded the class, the students began to leave. A few students approached him with their textbooks.

"Teacher Lucan, may I ask a question?" A female student asked.

"I didn\'t quite understand something from the lesson..."

Several female students approached Lucan. He looked troubled and replied apologetically.

"I\'m sorry. I have something scheduled now, so could you ask your questions during lunch break or after school? I\'ll be in the temple or the theology prep room."

"Oh, okay. Got it." A student nodded.

"What do you have planned? A secret meeting with the Saint?" Another female student raised her eyebrows.

"No, Mrs. Janvi, who was in charge of music, is on leave for a while, so I\'m temporarily teaching music."

Lucan didn\'t know the details, but apparently, Mrs. Janvi had been attacked by a thug on her way home and was on leave because of it. At a staff meeting, the teachers were also advised to be cautious when going out.

Lucan thought that he needed to do something to address the root cause of this problem and solve it once and for all. Because of this, his workload increased, and he didn\'t like it.

"That\'s why I\'m sorry. Maybe later..."

"Oh, okay. Thank you."

Lucan parted ways with the students and headed from his class to the music room. The music room was on the third floor of the main building, at the far end. Due to soundproofing needs, it was located away from other classrooms. It was quite a distance from his class.

"Ah... Lucan Ironfist!"

"Hmm...?"

Someone called out his full name. Turning around, he saw a small figure standing in the middle of the hallway, like a child.

"You\'re... Ruki?" Lucan slightly suprised asked.

Standing behind him, unnoticed, was one of the main characters, the shota-type handsome Ruki.

Ruki had his eyes narrowed in anger, glaring at Lucan with hostility.

"Um... What do you want from me?" Ryuki asked.

"..."

Ruki remained silent in response. Despite calling out to Lucan, he just glared and said nothing.

"If you don\'t need anything, I\'m leaving," Lucan said, turning his back to Ruki and heading towards the music room. There were less than five minutes before the next class began.

"Wait!"

Just as Lucan was about to leave, Ruki followed him.

"Do you need something?" He looked at him and asked.

"N-no, I don\'t need anything! I just have a class in the music room too!"

Ruki puffed out his cheeks. His small stature and childlike mannerisms made him look even more like a child.

"I know, you play the flute. Right?" Lucan looked at flute around his waist and said.

"How do you know?" Ruki eyes widened as he asked.

"I\'m going to teach music class until Mrs. Janvi returns, so I looked through the class database, and that..." Lucan looked at his waist.

"..."

Ruki looked at his waist and saw flute.

Walking beside Lucan, Ruki looked at him. Then Ruki ran into the glass before Lucan.

"Oh, the bell..."

Hearing the warning bell ring through the school, Lucan hurried towards the music room.

"Alright... let\'s begin the music class."

Lucan announced the start of the class as he arrived in the music room. The majority of the students were female, with an eight-to-two ratio. Despite being an elective, the class was quite skewed. Among the female students were some who had received Lucan\'s guidance after school.

"Mmm..."

And from the corner of the classroom, Ruki was glaring at Lucan.

With a sigh, Lucan decided to proceed with the class quickly.

"As you may already know, Mrs. Janvi, the music teacher, has taken a leave of absence for personal reasons. Until she returns, I, Lucan Ironfist, will be taking over. Nice to meet you all."

Applause erupted from the classroom, mainly from the female students he had taught. It seemed he was being welcomed, at least.

"Let\'s start from where we left off last time. We\'ll be practicing \'***\'. Split into your respective instruments and parts, and start practicing. If you need any guidance, come to me."

Fortunately, music class had a lot of self-practice time. Lucan only needed to occasionally advise students who sought his help.

"Hmm..."

As expected of the Royal Academy students, their instrument performance was quite high-level, so there wasn\'t much to correct. for more

"~~~~~~♪"

However, amidst the harmonious sounds, there was a discordant note. Ruki was playing the flute, but there was noise mixed in.

"Ruki, are you alright?" Lucan asked.

"...I\'m fine."

When Lucan approached him, Ruki sulked and turned away, much like a child caught in a prank. While some might find it cute, Lucan found it merely bothersome.

"May I offer some guidance?" He softly said.

"I don\'t need your guidance." Ruki turned away.

Lucan sighed and decided to step away. Ruki wasn\'t bad, but he was one of the most talented in playing the flute. In the future, he would also learn other musical instruments and develop his power that way, eventually becoming the strongest through the art of music.

After class, Lucan was preparing to leave when Ruki came in front of him. He glared at him.

"What do you want?"

"...Come to the student council room after school." Ruki puffed his cheeks and said.

"Huh?"

"Prince Kai wants to talk to you. He asked me to tell you."

Ruki turned away and left the class.

"...A summons from Prince Kai?" Lucan muttered.

"Teacher Lucan, could you help us for a moment?"

"Oh, yes."

Lucan turned and helped the students who had doubts. He doesn\'t know what Princa Kai want but since he invited then it wouldn\'t be for small matter but something important.

Maris was troubled as she looked at destroyed corridor of school. She looked around, seeing no one she sighed and quickly repair the corridor.

Mairs\'s power was getting out of control, she destroy the corridor when she just used very tiny amount of power.

"I need to think something to control this."
