Time and Time Again, I Wish for an End

Ch 3

Griffin reached his destination, SilverBlade Academy. It was a school for those with magical capabilities. It didn't matter if one was from the upper or lower caste, all with magic were welcome. 

Griffin sadly never attended the prestigious academy. His father had sent him abroad for his studies to 'broaden his horizons'. Yeah he was pretty sure his father just wanted to get rid of him even if it was temporary. His sister and all of the main cast attended the school. He was sure they were all at least acquainted, if not friends.

Now he was a professor here. How fun.... At least he's far from his 'family'. Griffin finished  with his unpacking. He had to get dressed and then head to class. There was a certain dress code, but he could still wear anything as long as he followed it. He quickly got dressed and took a look at the clock. He'd better hurry or he'll be late. 'What was first again, oh right Potions!'

Soon it was the end of the day, only one class was left. He was glad, now he could get some sleep after this last nuisance. He walked into the classroom, his necessary materials in hand. A chorus of "Good afternoon Professor" and other alike greetings rang out upon his arrival.

"Good afternoon." He curtly returned. He was definitely not in the mood for this.

He took a good look around the classroom. The students were fourth years, all of them being 18 years old. "Can anyone summarize what was done in class yesterday."

A few hands went up. 'Hm, not bad.' He thought.

"Can you tell me what was done yesterday." He said pointing to a girl seated in the middle of the classroom.

"Well, the substitute taught us about the Evergreen Arrows, sir." She said before sitting back down.

"Okay, thank you. Does anyone know the tale behind the Evergreen Arrows?"

A boy shot up and answered " Yes sir."

"Alright then, go ahead."

"The Evergreen Arrows were formed when a sorcerer who knew plant magic was fighting against a major threat that could have potentially destroyed the land."

Griffin blinked once. Twice. Thrice. It took all of his willpower to resist the urge to facepalm. He was fully versed in tales of various magical artifacts and the such and he for sure knew this story was total nonsense.

"Did your....substitute tell you this?" He asked in a low but demanding tone.

"Y-yes sir." The boy replied nervously. Griffin looked around, wanting confirmation. Everyone voiced their agreement.

"Okay then who was your substitute?" He needed to see what fool decided to feed his class with misinformation.

"It was Professor Saus."

"Professor Saus? As in the professor who teaches Familiars: How to summon and care for them.....? That Professor Saus? You mean to tell me, the man who doesn't know ANYTHING about ancient weaponry, was assigned to teach you all in my stead......?"

Murmurs filled the room. Griffin sighed in exhaustion.

"Prof Saus doesn't know about the ancient weapons?"

"I mean I don't know much about them either but I know at least something about the topic..."

"I didn't know that was basic knowledge ." 

"Yeah me neither."

The girl who answered earlier, thankfully answered to his question. "Yes sir. He was assigned as our substitute for your class."
