Maths Class

In the Teacher's Room~

Mo's POV:

Today was supposed to be my first day as a teacher in this school. Everything was going smoothly as planned but then that 'incident' happened. Ugh.. I've probably lost all my aura points as soon as I began. I didn't even get the chance to apologize or say anything.. she just ran away only to appear again as my student. God. What a weird coincidence. Honestly.. If I were to never meet her again, I would've felt somewhat guilty and uncomfortable about it forever.. so a part of my feels relieved as well to see her here. I sincerely wish I get a chance to erase the effects of today from her mind, so we can be student and teacher on a clean slate. I don't know what kind of thoughts about me she must be holding onto. Nothing positive likely, I did help her technically but by making her even more ashamed and embarrassed. Oh, Mo! What will you do? *sighs* (He pondered seriously while sitting on his assigned chair, hands intertwined as his mind went into deep thought.)

"Oh you must be Mo-Ran! Liang Mo-Ran, right?" A middle aged man waved, walking towards him.

"Yes. Good Moring, pleased to meet you!" Mo quickly got up and bowed to him respectfully.

"Ayey! Such a gentle young man you are! And so handsome as well!" The man beamed. It grabbed the attention of other teachers sitting in their cubicles as well. The room had separate partitioned sitting arrangement for six teachers, each having their own chair and table.

"Oh! You're the new mathematics teacher for high schoolers then??!" Another man who seemed to be in late-twenties came forward.

"Yes, I am. I'll be in your care then" He politely and confidently bowed to all present there.

"We are all teachers of the high schoolers here in this room and the next. I teach Quantum Mechanics" A lady also in late-twenties smiled, introducing herself.

"I see" Mo nodded, smiling back.

"I'm the chemistry teacher" (F 28) "I'm the English teacher" (F 26) "I'm the Electronics teacher" (M 28) Mo bowed and shook hands with them thoughtfully.

"And this old man is the Economics teacher! Haha" The man who first approached Mo, chuckled pointing at himself.

"Haha.. come on sir! You don't even look old!" The electronics sir responded jesting.

"Really? You tell me Mo.. do I look young? I'll believe you if you say so!"  He eagerly looked at Mo.

"You do look youthful sir, there's no doubt in that" Mo replied, assuring him in a sincere tone.

"Waah!" C'mon I was just messing with you, hahaha, you're too good!" The old man patted Mo's back giggling some more.

"You pressured him sir~ that's why! Haha" the English teacher spouted. "Yes! It's his first day, and you put him in a dilemma" (Chem teacher) "You're right! I was just kidding Mo, don't take it so seriously from next time. But such a good looking man complimented me, I really must be youthful then, right!" Everyone once again rolled into laughter.

Mo's first free period was spent chatting with his teacher peers, then he had to teach class 1-B in the second period. Afterwards he had two free periods, followed by the lunch break. He already ate from a convenience store in the morning, just before barging into Denyl. During the recess, he ate a banana, an apple, with some black coffee.

Now it was time to head to his own class. He gathered his belongings and started walking towards the classroom. Everyone settled down as Mo entered the class.

"Hello class. Please take out your books" He spoke firmly and grabbed a marker.

All the students took out their notebooks, some wanting to focus in the class, some just pretending. Meanwhile Denyl had her workbook, notebook, pastel pink pouch with matching stationery items, and a bottle laid out on her desk. No one could defeat her in a battle of having more cute pink things.

"We'll begin with Chapter one today" Mo stated, carefully opening his marker as he wrote the heading MATRIX on the board.

"A matrix is an arrangement of numbers in rows and columns _ _ _ _ _ _ _" He started teaching, explaining each and every concept from the basics beautifully. Even the students who'd just wish for the class to pass by asap were developing interest in the way Mo taught. Denyl was very impressed too. Being a topper, she liked it when a teacher truly knew about what they were teaching. It was clear that Mo had in-depth knowledge about the subject as well as zeal for helping students.

"These are the two matrices A and B, if they are multiplied what would be the result? Who's gonna solve it?" He asked, writing the question on the board and turning around afterwards.

The class was silent, students were looking at one another, some staring at Denyl and other intelligent students urging them to answer. In reality because of the simple and precise manner Mo demonstrated the problem solving process, even the average scoring students were able to formulate the answer but couldn't raise their hands out of fear of answering wrongly.

Some students were panicking thinking 'What if he picks me to answer?' Denyl on the other hand was sitting comfortably as she knew the answer. Her eyes briefly met Mo's briefly and he could pick up on her confidence.

(I don't think so he'll ask me after what happened today, he'll likely wanna avoid me...) she thought.

"You! Come and solve" Mo pointed at a boy.

He happened to be an average student and yet answered correctly.

"Well done! You may go back to your seat now" Mo praised him. "Now students, question 1-5 are based on what we've done in the class today. They are your homework, I'll check them tomorrow so make sure you do them!" He told everyone, putting emphasis on the last line.

"Okay sir!" The students nodded in response.

"Alright then, that is it from my end today. If anyone has any doubt or facing problems doing questions, meet me in my room. No need to be self conscious about it, okay?" Mo smiled warmly, addressing the class. He then left the class.

("Phew! Guess that's it for today, won't see him again today at least. Nice!) Denyl heaved a sigh of relief. It wasn't that she disliked him, but more so just felt awkward.
