THE DEMON KING'S EMPRESS
Return of the Old Enemy (9)

"Oh.so he's your neighbor. Hope you're at home here."

"Thank you teacher." said Lili

"Ehem..well, let's just start today's lesson" said Ares as he cast a spell and opened his right palm.

From the palm of his hand, a small blaze came out and slowly grew to form a large fire dragon that coiled around the body of the teacher. All the disciples who witnessed it, could only shake their heads followed by an overwhelming feeling of awe. The boisterous sound of the applause of the disciples added to the crowd and awe that could not really be expressed through words. With just a flick of his finger, the huge fire dragon disappeared like the wind. The cries of admiration and applause from all the students added points plus the teacher.

"Teacher, you're amazing." praised Sean

"real teacher. I want to be like you." Gres added

"Haishh. The look of a sycophant begins to spread charm." Lili's inner self grinned.

"thank you. I want you all to try it. I want to know your fire magic abilities. Do now. Give all your strength and abilities. Do your best."

"Good teacher." shouted all the students in the class simultaneously.

All the disciples began to prepare to exert all their abilities and strength. As much as possible they try to do their best as exemplified by their teacher. One by one all the disciples started using fire magic. Some are small flames, some are large, some are shaped like a fireball. None of them could form the fire into a living thing.

"Lili, why don't you try it?" chrysanthemum asked with a fireball blazing in his right hand.

"A.I.I..."

"Heh, it turns out there's trash here huh?" gres' teasing followed a booming laugh throughout the class.

Hearing Gres taunting Lili, Chrysanthemum was about to throw a fireball at Gres but was stopped by Lili.

"Leave it. There's a teacher here anyway." said Lili, holding Chrysanthemum's left hand

Hearing that there was a commotion in the backseat, Rey's teacher came over to them. He looked at Lili who was smiling leisurely as she did not do the magic she ordered.

"What's this?" ask Rey's teacher

"Teacher, take a look! The boy disobeyed your orders." shouted Gres as he pointed his index finger towards Lili.

"Or can't she not use magic?!" jeered Sean with a cold smile on his face.

Hearing Sean making fun of her, Lili simply returned with a smile.

"So you want to tell me, if I can't use magic, that doesn't mean I'm wrong, right? It could be that the person guiding me was also wrong right?!" lili Syndir

Hearing Lili's scathing insinuation, all the disciples whispered to each other. They assume that Sean has underestimated Rey's teacher.

"How dare Sean speak that?" whispered one of the male students.

"Yes. I never thought Sean was that kind of person."

"Teacher Rey must be mad. Never before has a brave disciple dared to look down on him."

"That's it Sean!"

Hearing many people whispering that he had underestimated Rey's teacher, Sean felt himself cornered. He looked towards Rey's teacher. He saw teacher Rey looking at him with a dark face. As if he did not know what to do, he turned to look at Lili with a face full of pent-up anger.

"Forgive you? Do you have any evidence? If you don't have proof, it's the same as you slandering me. Where's the yelling vane?!" ridicule Lili while grinning

Hearing Lili's words, all the disciples laughed out loud. Seeing all the students in the class laughing at him, Sean grew furious. He clenched his right hand and started yelling at Lili while pointing his index finger at Lili.

"You?!" said Sean

"Enough!" Sela Master Rey

Hearing teacher Rey say a word, all of the disciples instantly fell silent. The class went quiet again. Master Rey turned her gaze towards Lili.

"Are you really unable to use magic?!" ask Rey's teacher to Lili

"No idea." Lili replied casually

"Why not know? Have you never practiced magic in the slightest?"

"No."

"This kid is so honest. But strangely, why can't I feel the slightest bit of magic from inside him?" inner teacher Rey.

"Huff, it looks like I should teach you from the beginning."

"Sorry to trouble you teacher."

"It's okay. This has become my duty. Teach my students that they will all be successful in the future. It's my greatest pride to be able to produce a talented generation." explained Rey's teacher.

"Teacher Rey has done her duty and duty as a teacher with all her heart. I'm sure teachers can print talented students here."

"thank you. Your tongue is sweet too?" tease teacher Rey while smiling.

"Hehe."

"Alright, now you try to follow my moves."

"Good."

Master Rey started making moves. His right hand began to move upwards and spin as if making a circle in the air. Slowly, a small blob of fireballs slowly began to grow. The fireball is now in Rey's palm. All the students who saw Master Rey volunteered to teach Lili before their eyes, all of them clapping at once. Thousands of compliments came out on behalf of teacher Rey. Master Rey simply responded with a smile. His eyes turned to Lili.

"Hows it? Do you want to try it?" ask Rey's teacher to Lili.

"Teacher, it's not that I don't want to do it. What if I fail? I must have ruined your reputation?"

"Don't think of anything strange. You better try it. So I can tell you where your mistake lies. What you lack."

"Alright, because Rey's own teacher said that. Then I won't hesitate to do it."

Lili also began to do the exact same movement as taught by Rey's teacher. Seeing Lili imitate her movements without any minor mistakes, Rey's teacher simply smiled. In his heart he said "This child is completely unexpected. He is able to imitate the movements I teach without any mistakes." - Rey's inner teacher.

Slowly a small fireball appeared from Lili's hand, now slowly began to grow and a giant firebird came out of her hand and out through the classroom window. All the shocked disciples were speechless at seeing this scene. Even Rey's own teacher did not believe any student was capable of practicing his movements in one look. Seeing a giant fire bird flying around the school, all the students from the other classes crowded around the window watched this incident.

"Who's firebirds are that?"
