## Chapter 1354 – ##14_Trinity Academy Sprout Class (2)
##104
1.
After the stepsisters took their seats in the lecture hall, the professor in charge of the day’s schedule entered.
“Good morning, everyone. Malika, please wake up.”
“Sasha, wake up Malika, please.”
“Sister… wake up…. The professor is here.”
The professor in charge of the Sprout Class had an appearance rarely seen in Gehenna.
Jet-black hair and jade-colored eyes that shone as if they contained blue stars.
Full, long eyelashes and a unique eye makeup that emphasized the eyeliner.
Lastly, a tanned complexion typical of Arabs and an outfit that exuded an oriental feel.
What was there to hide?
After ending her long life as a shut-in, the leader of Sangz, the ‘Witch of the Underworld,’ Amira Isis, had become a full-time professor at Trinity Academy about two years ago.
For reference, not only her but also Margarita, Luna, and Oksana were also employed at this Trinity Academy, teaching the Sprout Class.
Amira loved children, so she thought it was a perfect fit for her.
Everyone was so unique and sharp for their age.
“Sister Malika. You have to wake up. The professor is here.”
“Ugh… sleepy….”
Looking at the composition of the Sprout Class again, first, there was the eldest, Malika.
In fact, she was ten years old and should have been taking separate classes, but due to Malika’s strong request, she was taking the same class.
Instead, when her younger sisters were asked questions like, ‘Why is 1+1=2~?’ Malika would be next to them saying things like, ‘1 is a natural number. When n is a natural number, the successor n’ of n is also a natural number. There is no natural number n such that n’ = 1. If m’ = n’, then m = n. If P(1) is true, and for all natural numbers k, if P(k) is true, then P(k’) is true, then P is true for all natural numbers. In this theorem, the addition of adding 1 to 1 is recursively defined (omitted).’
At first, Amira wondered if it would be okay, but as a result, recruiting Malika into the Sprout Class was a stroke of genius.
“Everyone, attention. Bow to Professor Amira.”
“Hello!!!”
Even if they were precocious and smart for their age, they were still apprentice witches who were growing up.
It meant that the energy they emitted was no joke.
Moreover, they were the daughters of Duke Shin Siwoo, so she couldn’t treat them harshly.
Of course, he wasn’t the type of person to object to scolding necessary for education, but as a human being, wasn’t she a little afraid of the repercussions?
However, since Malika, who was in the position of class monitor, had a firm grip on her younger sisters, the effort required to take care of the children was reduced.
“Is everyone preparing well for their individual performances on Parents’ Day?”
“Yes! I practiced with Mom this morning too! Do you want to see? Please play the music!”
“Seo, Seoyeon is always energetic. But don’t climb on the table.”
Next, the Sprout Class member was the second daughter, Shin Seoyeon, the daughter of Sharon, the legendary ant trader of Gehenna.
Seoyeon seemed to enjoy every day.
Even though she had seen her since she was three years old, she had never seen her cry.
She had a sociable and friendly personality, always smiling brightly, and clearly showed that she had grown up receiving a lot of love.
Perhaps Sharon was similar.
She especially loved physical contact with her sisters, and even in the middle of summer, she would hug her youngest sister Sasha like a teddy bear.
If Malika was the class monitor, Seoyeon felt like the aegyo monitor.
“Hey, Shin Seoyeon. The professor told you to come down.”
“Why are you angry, sister? Hehe. Are you going to be angry? Seoyeon was wrong.”
Seoyeon, who had climbed onto the table and danced, was scolded by Malika and came down.
Amira sometimes had the impudent thought, ‘If Seoyeon had been the eldest, would I have been able to continue this job?’
“Professor, my mom told me to give this to you, so I brought it.”
“Oh my, it’s a pretty tea set. Did Duke Tiferet give it to you?”
“Yes, she also told me to tell you that you’re always working hard to manage the noisy children.”
“Tell her that the professor is very grateful.”
“Ah! You shouldn’t receive that! It’s bribery! It’s a bribe!”
“Seoyeon. Be quiet.”
“Okay….”
Among the girls with their colorful personalities, the pink girl, the third daughter, Rapi, stood out.
She was a disciple of Duke Tiferet, who was known for being upright.
In fact, she was a fraternal twin who was born on the same day as Hina, but she showed a sharp mind that was not like her age.
She was like a personification of diligence, integrity, dignity, and cuteness, well mixed.
She volunteered to be a model student, but sometimes she would get caught up in her older and younger sisters’ coaxing and cause accidents, and she had a tendency to do it on the largest scale, so she needed to be careful.
“…Teacher, Hina also has a gift.”
“Huh?”
And then there was the other third daughter, Hina.
At first glance, she was the most polite and gentle of the sisters.
First of all, her appearance in a kimono was that of a well-mannered young lady with no stray hairs, wasn’t it?
Even her slightly sharp eyes, which resembled her mother’s, or more precisely, the eyes that would become sharp as she grew up, were hidden by the roundness unique to children, making it even more so.
So, at first, Amira was almost fooled by her appearance, but…
Hina was a possessor of a tremendous competitive spirit.
She tried to get the most attention and the most love.
If Amira seemed to pay more attention to another sister than herself, she would immediately start to check her.
“Here you go. It’s Hina’s gift.”
“Hina, isn’t that the hair ornament you were wearing a moment ago?”
“It will look good on you too, teacher.”
“Um… okay, thank you.”
Just like now, when Rapi gave a gift, she immediately took off her hair ornament (usually, gifts like this go through Rinne and come back).
She was still a little young now, so her intentions were obvious, but wouldn’t she grow up to be a truly formidable fox later? That was Amira’s impression.
“Sasha, are you preparing well too?”
“……”
Finally, there was Sasha, the youngest of the Sprout Class, the daughter of Dorothy, who was formerly from the public sector.
“Sasha?”
“……”
“Sasha just answered. You didn’t hear her, professor.”
“Really? What did she say?”
“She said she was really grateful for your concern, that the preparations were going well, so you didn’t need to worry about it. But she said she was really, really grateful that you asked.”
“…I see.”
As the youngest, she received the most consideration, and she was also in a neutral position in Hina’s persistent checks.
Rather, Hina would often translate Sasha’s mumbling, carefully taking care of Sasha.
It was because of that side of her that Amira found Hina cute.
Anyway, Amira, who had met Dorothy during parent-teacher conferences, thought, ‘Wow, how can a mother and daughter be so different?’
Dorothy, who she met during the consultation, was relaxed and gave most of the speaking rights to Amira, but she did not lose control of the conversation.
She was sly, playful, and reacted like a complete fool when it came to her daughter’s stories, but she had a relaxed charisma that could not be ignored.
In comparison, Sasha was introverted, inward-looking, and passive.
Except when Hina was her conversation partner, she mumbled her words.
However, she was just shy with Amira, and she was quite active among her sisters.
“Why does Sasha talk so quietly every day?”
“……”
“Especially when I talk to her, she doesn’t answer me well.”
“That’s because Seoyeon bothers Sasha every day.”
“That can’t be. Sasha likes me too, right?”
“…Uuuu….”
For reference, she didn’t get along very well with Seoyeon, who was extremely extroverted, so if they were left together for too long, Sasha would become exhausted, so appropriate separation was necessary.
Anyway, these five were the members of the Sprout Class.
“Everyone, remember that there’s a Parents’ Day performance in a week, right?”
“Yes!”
“So, today we’ll skip the class and go straight to preparing for the performance.”
“Yay!”
“Both your dads and moms will be coming, so you have to work hard without being lazy, right?”
“Yes!”
Speaking of dads, Amira was in a situation where there was a slight moral taboo attached to her being in charge of this class.
Although the situation was unavoidable, Duke Shin Siwoo had a destructive orgy, a fifty-seven-some, with all the homeroom teachers in charge of the Sprout Class: Oksana, Margarita, Luna, and Amira.
You might say, ‘Why are you still bringing up something from years ago?’ but it couldn’t be helped.
It was that sensational.
Amira shook her head, trying to shake off the lewd thoughts, when Malika, who had been lying on the desk until just now, got up.
“Haaah….”
A five-year age difference among children was a huge difference.
Mental maturity and growth progressed very quickly.
Therefore, the current Malika was not the childish Malika who was satisfied with playing princess like before.
‘Malika, the cynical but reliable older sister whom everyone respects, fears, and admires’ was the image that Malika was aiming for.
“Malika, are you sleepy? You seem tired today.”
“Yes, I actually practiced the choreography yesterday.”
“Ah, Malika was doing a contemporary idol dance, right?”
“Would you like to see it?”
But she was still a child.
Malika, who had practiced the choreography hard all night, was eagerly showing off her skills, asking for a stage to be set up.
In fact, from Amira’s point of view, she was grateful that Malika was so motivated.
It was because the other children also worked hard following Malika.
When Amira turned on the gramophone, the record started to spin and the accompaniment began.
Malika closed her eyes and bowed her head on the platform.
The song Malika was preparing was ‘City of Witch,’ a hit song by the four-member girl group ‘Witches’ (a witch idol group for cultural exchange and coexistence between humans and witches), which debuted with Sua Agasa as the leader.
Unlike her other sisters, whose choreography was at the level of rhythmic movements, Malika skillfully performed a cute and adorable dance.
“Kyaaaa!!!”
“Sister Malika is so cool!”
“Wow… wow….”
“…I can do better.”
Hehehe.
Admire me more.
In the cheers of her younger sisters, the corners of Malika’s mouth turned up.
