“Then, tell me your interpretation of the part you researched for your homework. Dryas.”

Maeb, a female teacher, speaks in an arrogant and extremely bad-tempered manner, leaning her butt on the corner of the desk instead of a perfectly good chair.

At her words, the male student who had been pointed out looked noticeably intimidated and cautiously opened his mouth.

“Ah.. Yes! So.. This is the saying of the great Prophet Muhammad Abdullah, meaning that to do great things, you need order and a strong force to support it.”

“Yeah, you did well. As expected, you’re getting what you pay for with good grades. You worked hard, so you can sit down.”

“Yes! Thank you, teacher.”

Maeb said something that was a bit ambiguous, whether it was a compliment or sarcasm, but if you consider that the person saying it was the princess, you can conclude that it was a compliment.

And then, her gaze turned to the students who were crouching and shivering in the corner of the classroom at this very moment.

The number is three in total.

All three were known as bad students in the academy who were notorious for not listening, and they always looked down on teachers.

At this very moment, two of them were cowering like lambs before a wolf, looking terrified.

The reason was simple.

Because at this very moment, the figure of the remaining person lying in front of them, literally in a state of corpse, was clearly visible.

“Okay, then.. Now that the presentation is over, let’s think about what to do with the rest of the guys who fearlessly did my homework.”

With those words, Maeb looks down at the two people while emitting creepy magical power.

At this, the faces of the two students began to turn pale and hard, like corpses, and they bowed their heads to the floor and began to plead with all their might.

“Sorry, teacher!”

“We…we were wrong! Please…please spare our lives!”

“What about life.. Don’t bring up such ominous stories. Do you think.. I, as a teacher, would kill you all?”

“Ugh..”

Princess Maeb smiled with an eerie smile as she said those words.

Seeing her like this, the two people were so scared that they couldn’t say anything anymore, and while looking at them, the princess still had a smiling face and spoke in a calm voice.

“Well, since today is the first day, I’ll finish the training with just one person. Of course, there’s absolutely no reason to show such mercy next time.”

“! Thank you! Thank you! Your Highness!”

“Seo.. Your Highness, I am truly grateful!”

The two people bow their heads diligently, forgetting that the person in front of them was a teacher.

Maev then instructed the remaining two to take their friend who was in a coma to the infirmary, and resumed class.

Meanwhile, Katlena was feeling a bit surprised by her unusual, if somewhat unusual, class.

‘Honestly, when I heard that the princess was a teacher, I thought she would be a total slacker in class… but it doesn’t seem to be that bad.’

Of course, even if she was a princess, she wouldn’t be able to become a teacher at Adelan Academy, which was considered the best academy on the continent, without meeting the basic qualifications.

Even so, since she had suddenly decided on a career path just because of Zeros and had become a teacher after only two years, she had thought that there would be some awkward aspects, but after taking Maeb’s class, Katlena had no choice but to admit that her thoughts were wrong.

Although it is aggressive, it is a method of controlling students while also being fun and informative in its content.

Even if you look at it objectively, she could say that he was at a level where she could give high marks among the teachers she had seen so far.

‘Well… I guess that punk vibe is a bit unusual for a teacher.’

With that in mind, Katlena focuses on class as a student should.

Meanwhile, even while conducting the class and controlling the atmosphere in the classroom, Maeb’s gaze periodically moved towards one person.

A man who gave me a seat where I could naturally see it when I raised my head.

The ultimate reason why she is here, and even at this moment, the person who is showing her a wonderful and lovable side by studying hard while attending her classes.

Towards Zero…

“Thank you all for your hard work. Let’s end today’s class here.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Thank you for your hard work, Princess… no, teacher.”

Students greet each other with a burden that still lingers.

Looking at them, Maeb, the class teacher and the imperial princess, quietly smiled.

‘As expected… It wasn’t as difficult as I thought, no… It’s more fun than I imagined. This job as a teacher.’

Maeb, who has always been used to being above other students since her days as the leader of Noblesse.

Although, unlike back then, he was now standing here as a teacher, relatively distant from the students, Maeb did not feel uncomfortable or awkward at all in the current situation.

The familiar experience of dealing with students younger than oneself and the charisma that comes from that experience.

And… the unchanging dignity and authority of the princess that could not be hidden had the effect of preventing even the children who had originally ignored their teachers and acted as they pleased from acting rashly.

It’s similar to how children who don’t even listen to their teachers are helpless in front of neighborhood thugs.

In other words, instead of the love and affection that teachers often advocate…

It could be said that the method Maeb is currently using is to manage students through the power and pressure of being a person with power and authority.

However, Maeb didn’t really think this was a problem.

The reason was simple.

Because she knew from experience that this was the most efficient and most realistic way to do it.

Those who were in Noblesse from the beginning had high social status, but because of that, there were also many who were extremely arrogant and rough.

They are arrogant and authoritarian, and because of that, they are cocky guys who don’t hesitate to climb up at the slightest opening.

In order to firmly hold them in her sway and shake them to her will, she had to abandon the foolish idea of starting a relationship with such flimsy things as affection or friendship.

The first thing that is needed is to break the other person’s pride and make them feel deeply what their situation is.

It was necessary to make it a point to make it clear to those sitting above that they could easily dispatch those sitting below at any time.

and..

Only after you finish dealing with it like that will the other person become obedient.

You come to realize the truth that you should not climb up on your superiors without permission.

After that, you have to share the sweet fruits of friendship and affection little by little, and then people will be moved when they realize that you are giving it to them not because they are a sucker, but because they truly care for you as a superior.

That was the operating policy of Maeb, who led Noblesse, the largest faction in the academy, and it could be said that this rule was also applied to the class where she was now assigned as a teacher.

‘For now, it would be better to discipline those who are annoying you for a while. Becoming a good teacher comes after that.’

Maeb looks at the students packing their bags for a moment while thinking about that.

Next, her gaze turned to a boy among the students who was talking apologetically to his master.

Earlier, Maev had left a message to meet with the ‘class president’ after class, under the pretext that he had something to say.
