The Modern Immortal

Difficulty in Class

Daemon, you’re here early, I was still thinking of going over to class 5 to fetch you over once this lesson ends.” While Daemon was staring at this lady blankly, her cherry lips opened and revealed a set of pure white teeth as she called out with a light smile, her voice so soothing and pleasant to listen to.

“Hel… Hello Teacher Emma!” Daemon got back to his senses only when Emma Macmager called out to him and replied to her.

“Daemon, the principal and Year 3 teacher-in-charge had already spoken to me with regards to your matter, if you do not mind being in class 10, then you will be with me for this few months.” Teacher Emma seemed to be satisfied with Daemon’s reaction as her smile on her face got even brighter.

“I will still need to ask the teacher for your care and guidance.” Daemon adjusted his emotions as he silently observed Teacher Emma.

Daemon felt that Teacher Emma was being too overly enthusiastic with him but he could not think of any instances where he had interactions with her. Furthermore, Teacher Emma looked really beautiful which made Daemon feel uncomfortable, but he could only choose to avoid it.

“Daemon you’re being too polite, you are the one who got the first place during the entrance examination into S City (Grade 1) High School, so I’m still pinning my hopes that you would give me a miracle during the final year examination.” Teacher Emma did not notice anything unusual on Daemon as she continued to encourage him in a gentle voice.

Daemon went into contemplation as he touched his nose while listening.

“Teacher Emma, I’m Daemon’s best friend in class 5 and I would like to apply to join class 10 to continue my studies, so I would like to ask teacher Emma to accept me in.” 

Edward noticed that Teacher Emma had her eyes focused on Daemon the entire time and not once did she look at him, so he waited until Teacher Emma had finished up her conversation with Daemon and hurriedly spoke up.

Teacher Emma only realised that Edward was here when she heard his voice.

Seeing that Edward had actually brought his table and chair along, she let out a laugh with a mesmerising smile on her face. Her round and ample chest was also moving up and down, causing Edward’s eyes to form a straight line instantly.

“As long as Miss Emma permits, then I would naturally welcome you.” After looking at Edward for a brief moment, Teacher Emma turned to look at Daemon at the side and nodded her head with a light smile, “You and Daemon go to the back of the classroom to sit down, I will introduce the two of you to everyone.”

Seeing that Teacher Emma was willing to accept him in, Edward was unable to contain his joy as he quickly walked into the classroom first.

After Daemon and Edward settled down at their seats, Teacher Emma began to introduce Daemon and Edward to the class.

When Teacher Emma was introducing Daemon, hissing sound could be heard in the classroom as everyone was whispering to one another in discussion.

Clearly hearing the discussion happening around, Daemon turned a deaf ear to it, but Edward’s face became green in anger, if not for Daemon tugging at the corner of his shirt tightly, Edward would have jumped in anger.

Luckily Teacher Emma was strong at handling situations, with a light cough, the classroom returned back to its former serenity. Teacher Emma gave an apologetic look towards Daemon before asking the class to take out their monthly test paper to go through.

However what made Daemon astonished was that Teacher Emma was actually using English to conduct her class, so much so that Daemon did not understand a single word that Teacher Emma was saying even after a few minutes into the lesson.

It was not that Daemon’s English was poor or that his hearing had problems, but it was purely because he was not used to it and that he did not expect any teacher to use English to conduct their class at high school level.

Edward was also puzzled after hearing it, he wanted to cut off Teacher Emma’s lesson for a while or ask the student next to him on what was going on, but seeing that all the students were eagerly paying attention to the lesson, he could not help but force himself to pay more attention to the lesson.

After three minutes, Daemon had dejectedly given up on listening to the lesson and decided to take out his English dictionary to read. This was because although Daemon was able to hear every word that Teacher Emma was saying clearly, but he was unable to understand every word that Teacher Emma had said, so he realised that the amount of vocabulary that he knew of was very limited and decided to learn more vocabulary first to fill up his vocabulary list.
