Nox POV
It has been over a month since I flung that meatball in Blackbeard's face, and it seems like those brats have finally started taking a liking to my class as they all started asking me questions about their favorite subject.
"Hey, boss! Did I do this enchantment right?" Brat 3 asked as he showed me an arm enchantment that would tear it off the body should it be activated.
"Hey, boss! Could we continue that talk we had yesterday?" Brat 2 said, as he was hinting at wanting to talk in private.
"Hey, boss! I finished! did I do it right?" Brat 1 said as she showed off her new mannequin shaped golem.
Brat 3 just wants to know how to make body enchantments, after seeing my fight with Blackbeard and his merry men. Brat 2 has a lot of questions regarding spirits, as I have been giving him several private classes on spirits and spirit magic due to him sheltering 2 spriggans. And Brat 1 is only interested in golems and has been pestering me for advice on how to make them. I would have killed to get this much of their attention a month ago, but I'm sick of people treating me like I'm some sort of gang leader every time I walk down the hall, and it is all because of these idiots who are making a ruckus in my arts and crafts class on golem creation.
It all started 2 weeks ago; around the time these idiots had started calling me boss for some reason. While we were heading over to the testing area for another practical lesson where I was going to teach them how to cast a tier 2 spell, when suddenly.
*BOOM*
While we were walking through the academy's courtyard, a fireball came flying into my face.
"HAHA! I GOT HIM! SUCK ON THAT YOU BASTARD!"
Apparently, Brat number 2's brother hadn't had enough after my last practical lesson, with a surprise appearance from teacher's assistant Blackbeard.
"WHAT! HOW ARE YOU STILL ALAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!"
Without giving him a warning, I had used my body enchantments to jump up to the second floor, grab him out of the class 2A window and jump with him kicking and screaming on the way down. After throwing him on the ground intending to just leave it at that, these group of idiots started acting like we were the bloody mafia and began kicking and beating the poor kid.
"HOW DARE YOUS' ATTACK OUR BOSS!"
"YOUS' BETTER BE READY TO PAY!!!"
"STOP!! ACK! SHINJI YOU BASTARD! UGH! I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS!!!"
"WE'D LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY! AIN'T THAT RIGHT BOSS!"
Ever since then, every time I talk to a student or professor they try to run away. Like they think I'm about to kick the ever-loving shit out of them. It might still be better than having a constant gang of stalkers on my heel, but at least I wouldn't have to chase down the fleeing professors to the other side of the academy just to ask for a paperclip.
"ENOUGH!!!"
Seeing my bad mood all three of them quieted down as they took their seats. Brat nr. 3 stopped shoving that dismemberment enchantment he plastered on a mannequin arm in my face. Brat nr. 2 was trying to stop his fairy's from coming out of his sleeve to give me another marshmallow punch. And Brat nr. 1 stopped making her golem breakdancing.
"WE ARE LEAVING THE ACADEMY! SO GO PACK YOUR BAGS KIDDOES', CUZ WE ARE GOING ON A FIELDTRIP."
…
The next morning.
I found those brats at the academy's gate. My reasoning for this sudden fieldtrip was that, if maybe we left the academy for long enough, without those brats enforcing the image of me as a mafia boss the rumors about me might blow over. Hence, about a week ago I put in the paperwork to schedule a trip outside the academy. It would last at most 3 weeks, and we could go pretty much wherever.
"So, where are we headed boss?" Brat 3 asked.
I just pointed at a dark mountain in the distance where a thunderstorm was brewing. I was going to take these brats on a trip into the forbidden mountain range south of the academy known as the 'Equestrian Mountains'.
"Is it behind the mountain of thundering death? Because I know a shortcut that leads around it."
"No, we are going camping in those mountains for 2 weeks. Now let's go"
I started walking as I could sense the three brats trying to sneak back to the academy behind me.
"And where are you three going? The Equestrian mountains are in the other direction."
I teleported myself in front of them as they were turning around to run. Seeing they weren't getting out of this the trio began marching towards the mountains of thundering death.
Later that evening, after a number of 'Pain Stick' bonks to the head to keep the brats from going astray, we finally reached our destination.
"Ah! Finally, *huff* We *wheeze* are *Puff* here" Brat nr. 2 said as he put down his bag.
Everyone but me and brat nr. 3 was dead tired after walking for the entire day. Brat nr. 1 had her golems carry her bag, but about 2 hours ago she gave up walking herself and just had it give her a piggyback ride. Meanwhile, brat nr. 2 had collapsed 4 hours ago, but after another round of my medicinal buckets of hot and cold herbal water, he wasn't down for long. Brat nr. 3 used to be a cultivator, and has built up his stamina over the years, so he hardly broke a sweat. Finally, as twilight was setting in, we had reached the foot of the mountain.
"Okay kids! It is time to set up camp. So, get to it while I go nap." I said as I jumped up on a tree branch, pulled out a straw hat to cover my eyes and put a wheat straw in my mouth as one of my legs were dangling off the branch.
"So, what do we do? I have never gone camping before!" Brat 2 said.
"I have, but grandpa always took care of everything." Brat 1 said
"I'll set up the tents, Shinji you get ready the food, and Aiko you take your golem and gather firewood." Brat 3 ordered the other brats.
