Chapter 163 - 68. Goodbye Crab Lady
Fisher’s nose filled with the familiar scent of incense often used by the Church as he walked into the classroom, but this time, in addition to the incense, he also smelled a faint hint of floral fragrance. He looked up and saw the enchanting Lady Anna sitting quietly in the back row of the classroom.
Perhaps because she was so exceedingly beautiful, the gentlemen beside her inevitably blushed, stealing glances in her direction, forgetting even the wives and children beside them, which provoked a sharp pain from a pinch at the waist the next moment.
Turning his head, he caught his wife’s cold gaze; she looked at him, pointedly indicated his body, and then distanced herself unpleasantly with the child in her arms. This left the man awkwardly touching his head, yet he couldn’t help but want to look back at the lady despite the discomfort.
She was truly stunning, like a poppy flower that intoxicated those who gazed upon her.
Fisher quietly observed Anna, but found her intently focused on the blackboard. She blinked at Fisher’s gaze and then awkwardly shifted her eyes away.
"Good evening, I’m Fisher Benavides, the volunteer teacher for this session at the Full Moon Church. May the Mother Goddess protect every child who yearns for the Truth."
Following tradition, he made the prayer gesture of the Mother Goddess’ blessing, and everyone below followed suit, pressing their hands together in praise of the great Mother Goddess.
"This class is about ethics, a branch of philosophy that represents humanity’s contemplation and reflection on morality. Of course, this class will not involve sharp and intricate debates; rather, it should be treated as an equal exchange."
"Today, I’ll introduce one of the many branches of ethical theory, which is the social contract theory first proposed by Mr. Claude Baggins..."
The content of this course was different from when Fisher usually taught; it did not have many strict requirements or a meticulous classroom order. He used vivid examples to explain to those below the origin and essence of the theory, then presented the stance and weaknesses of those theorists from his personal viewpoint.
