Chapter 71: Introductory Monster Ecology [1]
Today was Friday.
More specifically, Friday, April 5th, 2050—at least, in this fictional world I found myself living in.
After a quick round of morning attendance handled by Professor Lena during homeroom, the first official class of the day began.
And this one was a big deal.
"Good morning, everyone," the man at the front said, stepping into the room with confidence and a warm smile. "I’m Ethan Caldwell, and I’ll be your instructor for Introductory Monster Ecology this semester."
He looked straight out of a magazine—well-fitted blazer, light stubble that somehow made him even more charming, and a voice that carried just enough authority without losing its friendliness.
The reaction was immediate.
Just like how the male students had drooled over Professor Lena, the female students collectively leaned forward in their seats, eyes sparkling.
Ethan Caldwell was the picture of a model educator. Calm, composed, and—judging by the small waves and smiles directed his way—already halfway to being a campus heartthrob.
"It might only be for one semester," he continued, clasping his hands in front of him, "but I’m genuinely excited and honored to be working with such talented young cadets."
He even bowed slightly, like some kind of well-mannered prince.
