CHAPTER 36: BEATRIX’S LITTLE TRICKS

Today’s science topic was a chemistry lesson.

Just as I was still figuring out the situation, her icy voice from the podium, pointed nakedly at me.

Beatrix didn’t even bother to disguise the loathing in her tone.

"You!"

"Elandor, very good.....as a new student who dares to miss his class on the first day, you still have the free time to look here and there instead of catching up on your work."

"What a shameless guy."

Beatrix threw her accusation right from the start, giving me no quarter to defend.

With her pointed finger, naturally, the class’s attention was once again brought to me.

We needed to play this game with a cool mind.

"Teacher, I was very sick, after all, health comes before studies."

"What’s the use of studying if you are not well in the first place?"

I politely answered, then at the same time trying to arouse sympathy, looked towards Parul and Asuna for help.

My face was full of helplessness, interacting with these delusional supernatural bitches, after learning from seeing their ever-changing faces, even my acting had become impeccable.

Asuna just snorted and looked away, but Parul seemed to have understood my signal.

"Yes, teacher! He had been unwell for the past couple of days. You don’t have to be so harsh."

Parul immediately got up and spoke for me, her eyes constantly winking at Beatrix like asking- Come on! Let it go.

Parul was confided, although Beatrix had a grumpy personality, since all of them were secretly friends.

This small matter shouldn’t matter much.

’Damn, is he asking for help from Parul and Rainaziel?’

’As expected, a treacherous mixed blood.’

Beatrix repeatedly cursed in her mind.

’But I can’t let him go so easily.’

As if she had thought of a conspiracy, a creepy smile crept over Beatrix’s face.

"Okay, get up and come to the blackboard, I order you to write the chemical equations for evaporation, sublimation and some miscellaneous acid-base reactions."

Beatrix returned to her natural teacher attire.

Her face was full of smugness.

"Shit, isn’t this the new Chapter that just started yesterday?"

"How can he already know all this, it was just the first day that he missed, all of this is yet to be taught!"

-The students who were eating melons gasped altogether.

By this time, even they knew Elandor was being targeted for some reason.

’Damn, is this her bid to take revenge?’

I understood this was an insidious ploy by Beatrix to insult me publicly.

Of course, I knew the first day that I missed was full of introductions; how could all this be taught?

She wanted to publicly humiliate me as I stood near the blackboard and fiddled with the chalk, making a fool of me in the process, trying to attempt something that no one could answer at this point.

I could already foresee what Beatrix had in mind- I will clumsily say sorry after failing to answer this question and then she will stand on her moral high ground telling me to study harder, that way she will appear as a caring and diligent teacher, and I will appear as a careless guy who needs to be looked after.

If there was anyone else in my place, he/she would probably follow the exact script Beatrix had cleverly laid out.

But it was me, a traveller from the magnificent Earth.

Having graduated with good marks back there, this was a piece of cake for me.

Actually, this was a perfect opportunity for my rise.

With me answering these questions that no one expected, my fame will shoot up like crazy and everyone will think twice before trying to deal with me.

After all, if someone can answer something so unexpected, then he might be impressive enough to have some solid backing, who knows?...it would be enough to give a warning to such mindful people.

Of course, we need to make this performance spectacular~

"Teacher, you asked such tough questions."

"But it’s not good for me to simply answer them, let’s raise the stakes."

I tactfully put together my words, they needed to be slow and steady, so as not to make her cautious.

"Oh?"

"What do you mean?"

Beatrix replied confusedly.

"If I answer them correctly, then I am allowed to skip your class or simply sleep or do my own things during your class, basically, you can’t order me anymore."

It was time to raise the stakes.

As expected, hearing my reply, Beatrix’s eyes almost glared with anger.

There was a single thought in her head,

’How dare he?’

But before she could reprimand me for speaking so out of tone, I hurriedly gave a condition I knew she could never refuse.

"Yes, and me...."

"......If I fail, I promise to study wholeheartedly and even give up on my relationship with my dear girlfriend, Asuna."

This was something I was sure Beatrix could never refuse.

An equally insidious negotiation was raised by me.

If I lose that means giving up Asuna, with such a chance, Beatrix’s mind will surely be tempted..... thinking this may be her perfect chance to chase the one she secretly harbours feelings for.

The students were confused, as someone who didn’t know the inside story, even Asuna and Parul’s faces were full of question marks.

The arrow hit at its mark, I could see it~

Beatrix’s breathing started ragging as her face became rosy, full of excitement.

’Yes!’

’The questions I asked can only be answered if one diligently studies the entire year for graduation and the class has just started.’

’Even if he is a genius, it’s impossible to study the entire year’s syllabus in advance.’

’Is he confident?’

’No, he must be trying to pretend!’

’Trying to pretend so he can appear intellectual and cool in front of innocent Rainaziel.’

’He probably raised such a condition because he thinks I will refuse it and scold him instead, but he is wrong!’

’Yes! Once he fails, he will have to give up on his girlfriend, as a result, he will break Asuna’s heart. Once that happens...hehe! I will make sure he disappears from this city.’

-Beatrix was running a marathon of interludes in her head, she could already triumphantly see the victory in sight.
