[Aspiration to the Heavens Spin-off Vol. 1] Heart of Magic (Completed)

Episode 19: A Teacher's Blush (Olivia)

"Though before we continue, my name is Aido Tanaka."

The eyes of my classmates, especially the guys', widened.

"You're a guy?" Jason asked.

"Well, his voice is rather masculine," I noted.

Mr. Tanaka chuckled.

"You're the first person to ever say that."

I tilted my head.

"Really?"

He nodded.

"Uh, we should probably continue with our introductions."

I let out a sigh of relief once class got out.

That teacher, he was lying.

Well, we did study the poem.

But I was pretty sure that he did it to save his silky skin.

"Olivia," Mr. Tanaka called out, chasing after me.

I grimaced.

I had spoken too soon.

"Do I... really have a masculine voice?" he asked, his face bright red.

I covered my mouth with both hands, stifling a chuckle.

My teacher crossed his arms around his chest.

"It's not polite to laugh."

"And it's not polite to call out others on their lies," I snapped.

He leaned against the door as he watched the remaining students leave.

"Don't be too loud, your friends are still here."

"Olivia!" Jason called out. "Want me to show you around campus?"

I nodded.

"Sure."

I turned around and stuck my tongue out at Mr. Tanaka.

"Bye!" I said, hoping at the boys hadn't noticed what I just did.

Mr. Tanaka sighed. "Will you ever set yourself free, young butterfly?"
