Chapter 218: Monica
🕑 Added 2024-11-14 12:33:44 +0000 UTCAfter pondering for a moment, Haruto turned around, leaving the training room and heading to his room.
Evening had arrived, and the fading sunlight warmly illuminated the hallways of the building. Upon reaching his room, Haruto freshened up to clear his mind.
The cold water touching Haruto's skin felt soothing, and when he finished, his body felt refreshed again. Haruto decided to end his day on a relaxed note, so he hurried to the cafeteria, hoping to enjoy a meal in peace.
As Haruto sat down, he ordered a plate of food and gazed at the cafeteria, which was slowly filling up with students coming for dinner. Haruto enjoyed that moment of tranquility, feeling that tomorrow would mark the beginning of a tiring yet meaningful training.
Haruto sat in a corner of the cafeteria, relishing his solitude. However, suddenly someone pulled out the chair in front of him and sat down without permission. Haruto felt as if he had experienced this moment before, like a vague and lingering déjà vu. Slowly, Haruto lifted his face, staring at the unfamiliar woman in front of him.
"Who are you?" Haruto asked in a flat tone, seemingly unfazed.
The woman smiled faintly, a mysterious smile that was almost challenging. "Me? Hmm... You really don't know who I am?"
Haruto shook his head calmly. "No."
The woman let out a light sigh, but there was a playful glint in her eyes. "My name is Monica," she said, glancing around the room for a moment before returning her gaze to Haruto.
"A teacher?" Haruto furrowed his brow, sensing something unusual about this woman.
Monica nodded, displaying a bright smile. "Exactly."
"So, what do you want?" Haruto asked, his tone sounding cautious.
"I'm just curious about my students," Monica replied, a slight smile on her lips that somehow made Haruto feel judged.
"Your students?" Haruto looked at Monica in confusion, trying to connect her words.
Monica leaned slightly forward. "Yes, Annie, William, Oliv, and the others... They are all my students."
Only then did Haruto realize who was sitting in front of him. Monica was the teacher who taught the first-year students—those in Annie and William's class. Haruto then nodded slowly, organizing his thoughts.
"Ah... Now I understand," Haruto said quietly. "So, you want to know about their condition?"
Monica looked at Haruto, awaiting his answer. "So, what do you think of them?"
Haruto stroked his chin, thinking for a moment before responding, "Hmm... they are quite good."
"Quite good?" Monica raised an eyebrow, not entirely satisfied with that answer.
"Yes," Haruto nodded. "They have promising potential. Their fighting skills are quite solid, and their coordination with each other is decent. But in terms of attack power, some are still holding back or perhaps haven't found the best way to maximize their potential."
Monica listened intently, appearing satisfied yet still curious. "What do you mean by 'haven't found the best way'?"
Haruto thought for a moment before continuing, this time in a more serious tone. "Some of them, like Annie and William, have good techniques. But in real combat, technique alone isn't enough. They need to practice controlling their energy precisely and must be able to work well together. Coordination among the members can still be improved."
Haruto, who often used Shadow Clones to fight against various creatures and fighters, had the ability to observe weaknesses and strengths carefully. His experience allowed him to provide detailed assessments of the potential, weaknesses, and strengths of the students he mentioned.
Monica was silent for a moment, staring at Haruto with wide eyes. Haruto's words had truly surprised her. Monica knew that Haruto was an exceptional student—ranked first in the second-year semester exam. However, it had never occurred to her that a student like Haruto would possess such deep insights, capable of analyzing others' abilities so sharply.
