Chapter Eight Sneak Peek

"PROFESSOR!"

My eyes widened and I nearly jumped before turning around to look at the owner of the scream. "Yes, Miss Schnee?" I asked.

"Professor!" shouted Weiss in an outraged tone as she pointed at holo-board that I had been writing on for my class. "Do you have any idea what you're talking about?!" She screamed and this time I detected embarrassment in her tone as her face turned red for some reason.

"Of course, I know what I am doing." I replied while my tired body turned to the holo-board. "I was teaching one of the many ways there is to replenish your Od…"

My drowsy eyes snapped open, and my face turned red as I stared in disbelief at holo-board. I couldn't believe what I had written, and I quickly jumped to erase what was erased there while screaming inside my mind at the horrible mistake I had made.

As I hurriedly tried to erase any evidence of what I had written, I heard laughter erupt from my class and hushed whispering. Some students didn't seem to mind, or didn't really notice that they were speaking loudly, as my face turned darker shades of crimson as I heard my students' voices.

I erased the last of my writing, but I refused to look at my students afterwards. It was so embarrassing the mistake that I had made that I wanted to dig a hole and hide in it. I was very tempted to erase the memories of my students right here and now. Because not only was it embarrassing and damaging to my reputation, but it had grave consequences to Beacon and my company if my horrible mistake was known by the public.

That temptation was quickly quashed as I had promised only to use the tried and tested methods honed by the Mages' Association and Holy Church only when absolutely necessary. Instead, my eyes glowed as I thought of a clever idea that didn't violate my morals.

"If you are willing to sign a magical contract to never discuss what just happened here then I promise you to give you a 10% discount on all goods and services offered by Tohsaka Industries!" I shouted in a calm and collected manner, trying to not look desperate.

"Gimme it!" screamed Ruby in excitement as she launched herself of her chair and over the desk to land in front of me. She quickly reached towards me. "I want to sign the magical contract right now!"

Without so much as thinking, I created a simple geas designed as a common non-disclosure form, except with the heavy penalty of dealing considerable damage to the signer's Magic Circuits. It was a serious condition as even on Earth it was difficult to heal any damage to Magic Circuits that acted as the very foundation of a mage's magical abilities, and in the case of Remnant's Huntsman it meant crippling injury.

I handed over the geas to Ruby and without so much as listening, she signed it. Her actions caught me so much my surprise that I couldn't believe it. It seemed such an unbelievable act, but it seemed my offer was irresistible given how Ruby was gushing to her friends about the "steal of the decade" that she had gotten.

Ruby didn't prove to an outlier as others in my class as others quickly followed her example. I was inundated with huntsman trainees that I barely kept up with the demand for my geas until all I was left was an unorganised stack of signed magical contracts and very happy students.

Out of my class forty-some students, Weiss Schnee was the only one left standing and not have signed my geas while staring in disbelief at me, just as awestruck as I was to my students' behaviour.

"Don't you know what you have done!? You signed a deal with the devil," exclaimed Weiss as she pointed at me. "What she did was enough to cause a scandal!"

"Hey! Don't you think you're being too harsh on Professor Tohsaka. Don't you see how tired she is. She just made a dumb mistake."

"Also, while the topic was slightly inappropriate, it wasn't completely unrelated to the today's lesson."

"Yea, today's class was regarding the many ways to recover Od. Professor Tohsaka just explained one method that…. Ahem!"

Many in the class soon erupted into laughter and I glanced to the side, stubbornly refusing to meet any of my student's gazes. This only seemed to promote more laughter. And to my surprise, I seemed to garner more sympathy from my students with my actions.

"BUT! …This is sex we are talking about! I refuse to believe you can recovery Od in such manner!" protested Weiss loudly.

"I also believe Weiss is there correct," added Blake, who rarely ever agreed with Weiss. The cat faunus stared at me and continued in a deadpan tone, "If sex is a way to recover Od, then I don't think Professor Tohsaka should be tired. In fact, it should be the opposite. She should be brimming with energy."

I covered my face and turned around to curl up into a ball. It was so embarrassing that I had not only accidently brought up the humiliating topic of tantric rituals, but my current exhausted state didn't prove the well-known fact that tantric rituals DID actually help with rapid recovery of Od similar to drinking a Mana Potion. The reason I wasn't filled with energy was because my face turned red even further thinking about it.

Simply, Shirou had gotten to carried away that he had exhausted me, physically and mentally, more than the Od I could recover from our tantric ritual.

"What's going on here?" asked Shirou as he entered the room to find my students eagerly talking with each other or the unorganised stack of geas on my desk when I should be instructing my students.

"Nothing, sir!" shouted my class as they quickly got back to their desks and readied themselves to take notes like proper students.

I couldn't look at Shirou in the eye given how embarrassing the previous topic had been before his appearance, but I was extremely grateful that he commanded great respect with my students for teaching practical huntsman skills outside of my classes. Otherwise, I didn't doubt that Shirou would have learned about my embarrassing mistake as one of my students would have likely babbled on the embarrassing mistake I had made in my tired state. None of my students wanted to embarrass their favourite teacher that taught them practical huntsman skills without the homework and tests normally assigned with classes.

"Miss Schnee, I would like to discuss a potential business proposal related to your family's company. Please come to my office after class." I spoke up as I turned to Weiss. To my relief, Weiss seemed to pick up my hidden meaning and nodded while glancing at the signed magical contracts on my desk. "Anyway," I coughed and cleared my throat. I glanced to my students before resuming my class. "This is another Od recovery method used by our magic-capable ancestors…"


So what do you think about this sneak peak? It might not neccessarily be related to the plot, but I wanted to show character development blend the comedy of high school / colleage(university) life together.
