Vol 4. Chapter 111: Teacher Yu

“Give her a proper warning and make that noble young lady who came out of nowhere hurry up and leave in tears!”

Buqieke crossed his arms over his chest and spoke with an extremely displeased expression.

That’s right.

At this moment, the son of the Dragon Queen was genuinely unhappy. In fact, the fury inside him had already been compressed to its absolute limit, leaving him right on the verge of erupting like a volcano.

Although the Dragon Race hadn’t been doing particularly well lately...

No matter what, dragons were still an inherently proud race.

And as the Queen’s son, Buqieke was even more arrogant and unruly by nature. Whoever dared look down on him was asking for trouble!

Replacing their homeroom teacher and having some inexperienced, wet-behind-the-ears noble girl take over instead?

In Buqieke’s eyes, this was an enormous show of disrespect from Yexinlian Royal Academy.

He was the dignified son of the Queen! A dragon a full hundred years old, practically an adult already! And they were actually treating this like a joke and sending some noble young lady to teach him?!

What right did some noble young lady have to teach him?!

And on top of that, his original plan had been ruined because of the teacher reassignment. Buqieke felt as though he had swallowed a barrel of gunpowder, his fury blazing uncontrollably.

With a cold snort, the furious white-haired dragon boy slowly turned his head and swept his gaze over the students around him.

“Besides, I’m not the only one who thinks this way. Everyone else agrees too. Right?”

“Yeah...”

“That’s true.”

“Suddenly bringing in an inexperienced teacher really is too much...”

“She probably got in through connections, right? Or maybe the vice headmaster took a bribe?”

“Anyway, even if Uncle Sakala isn’t here anymore, they could at least replace him with another proper teacher. But some noble young lady who came out of nowhere? Forget it...”

...

...

Faced with the dragon boy’s question, the students, including the Elf Princess Shaina, all voiced their dissatisfaction.

Although they weren’t as furious as Buqieke, whose original plans had been ruined, the sudden replacement of their teacher with a complete novice was still something they found difficult to accept.

At a time like this, changing teachers was no joke.

This concerned their futures...

Therefore, even though quite a few students disliked Buqieke, who acted practically like the school bully, they still chose to stand on the same side as him in this matter.

For a time, the enormous classroom was filled with voices of agreement.

Clearly, all of these students agreed with Buqieke and wanted to drive the new teacher away.

After all,

as the academy’s elite class, even if they really did something like this, Yexinlian Royal Academy wouldn’t punish them too severely.

At most, it would be the same as the previous few times—one week of confinement~

“Oh? So that’s what all of you think?”

Mengxi said calmly.

Judging from her tone alone, no one could tell what the Child of Destiny was actually thinking.

They had no idea whether their class president supported their little ‘rebellion.’

However,

as the instigator of this ‘rebellion,’ Buqieke didn’t care about Mengxi’s opinion at all.

As far as he was concerned, the Child of Destiny was [N O V E L I G H T] cold and indifferent toward most things anyway.

She probably felt the same way about the change in homeroom teacher.

Thus,

Buqieke went straight to the point.

“Miss Class President, you don’t care who our homeroom teacher is anyway... So just leave what happens next to me.”

“Oh-ho?”

The silver-haired girl gave an amused smile.

“Is that so? Then how exactly are you planning to drive this new teacher away?”

“You don’t need to worry about that. Just leave it to me. A noble young lady who got in through connections like her only needs to be frightened a little.”

Buqieke spoke with complete confidence.

At the same time, the dragon boy slowly turned around and looked toward the others behind him.

“When the new homeroom teacher comes in, just cooperate with me according to the plan we made earlier. Understood?”

“Mm...”

After exchanging looks with one another, everyone nodded almost simultaneously.

And as coincidence would have it,

just as Buqieke and the other students finished preparing themselves, the student responsible for keeping watch suddenly rushed into the classroom with the aid of acceleration magic, arriving beside Buqieke in an instant.

He lowered his voice and reported,

“The passage downstairs opened. It should be the new homeroom teacher!”

“Mm.”

Hearing this, Buqieke gave a cold smile.

“Hehe, she’s finally here. A noble family’s young lady, huh? Hehe... Just watch me give you one hell of a welcome and teach you exactly how cruel society can be~”

Cracking his knuckles, Buqieke returned to his seat and waited for the teacher to arrive.

When the other students saw this, they likewise returned to their own seats and took deep breaths, preparing to execute the rebellious plan they had carefully worked out long ago.

Even Miss Mengxi, whose expression was normally indifferent, now had an increasingly amused glint in her eyes.

For a moment, the classroom once again became so quiet that even a falling needle could be heard.

All of the students seemed to be sitting there ‘obediently,’ waiting for their teacher to arrive.

...

...

And amid that silent waiting,

under the breathlessly focused gazes of almost every student in the room, the classroom door slowly opened.

The next moment,

a young girl in the prime of her youth slowly stepped into everyone’s field of vision.

And the instant they saw her, the students abruptly held their breath.

Even Buqieke, who had deliberately put on a cold and stern expression, froze in place. His mouth nearly dropped all the way to the desk in sheer astonishment.

She was an incomparably beautiful girl.

Her facial features were exquisite as a painting. Her azure-blue eyes seemed to ripple like water, filled with gentle waves capable of captivating the soul. Her pretty, straight nose gave her face an air of softness while also adding a touch of heroic sharpness. Her slightly thin and tender lips were an almost translucent ruby red, so moist and delicate that merely looking at them seemed enough to make someone intoxicated.

Her long black hair was as soft and flowing as water. Most of it had been elegantly pinned up behind her head, while the rest cascaded downward like a waterfall, falling perfectly over her slender shoulders...

The girl wore an exquisite long dress that somehow possessed a crisp, valiant air. Black and white intertwined across the outfit, creating a unique atmosphere.

Layers of hollow floral patterns adorned the hem, while delicate lace framed her fair legs.

Her figure was tall and slender, and every graceful curve of her body was perfectly outlined.

A flawless figure,

an extraordinary face,

and perfectly suited makeup.

The instant the black-haired girl appeared, everyone experienced the illusion that their hearts had stopped beating.

“So... so beautiful...”

Quite a few students couldn’t help sighing inwardly.

Although they attended class with the Child of Destiny all the time and had therefore developed a certain resistance to beauty, the girl before them was in no way inferior to their own class president.

And yet hers was a completely different kind of beauty.

Faced with this bewitching allure tinged with darkness, the students—including Buqieke—experienced a complete mental shutdown.

No matter how you looked at it,

they were still just a bunch of students who hadn’t seen much of the world.

Their daze continued until the black-haired girl reached the podium.

“Um, good afternoon... everyone?”

??!!

“Huh?!!”

As the girl’s smooth voice, gentle as a flowing stream, entered their ears, the students finally snapped out of their daze and abruptly remembered what they had originally been planning.

However,

because their new homeroom teacher was simply far too beautiful, quite a few of them suddenly began hesitating over whether they should really drive her away.

After all,

if they actually made such a beautiful girl cry...

Somehow, that felt rather cruel...

At this moment, both the boys and the girls seemed to have the same thought.

This...

was probably simply an instinct shared by living creatures...

For a moment, the indecisive students couldn’t help turning questioning gazes toward Buqieke, who was sitting directly in front of the podium with an expression that was equal parts arrogant and dumbfounded.

Their gazes seemed to be asking him what they were supposed to do next??

However,

faced with everyone’s questioning looks, Buqieke remained stupidly frozen for a moment before violently shaking his head and forcing himself back to his senses.

No.

No way!

What the hell am I thinking?!

How can I stop the plan just because she’s pretty?!

Absolutely not!

Someone who got in through connections like this has to be driven out!

After psyching himself back up internally, Buqieke fiercely glanced left and right, using his stern vertical dragon pupils to communicate the message ‘continue the plan’ to all of his classmates.

Then, after taking a deep breath, Buqieke suddenly stood up and arrogantly planted one foot on top of his desk.

“You... are our class’s new homeroom teacher??”

The dragon boy shoved both hands into his pockets, tilted his head, and spoke in a disdainful tone.

Meanwhile,

when she saw a student stand up and ask her a question, the black-haired girl suddenly realized that she apparently hadn’t introduced herself yet.

Thus,

the girl raised a hand and brushed aside the hair hanging over her forehead before solemnly sweeping her gaze across everyone present.

“Yes. I’m your new homeroom teacher. I’m Yu-Black Rose, from the Sadik Empire. From now on, you can call me Teacher Yu.”

“Hehe~”

However, faced with the black-haired girl’s introduction, Buqieke’s dragon eyes remained filled with disdain.

“We don’t care who you are. Right now, there’s only one thing I want to tell you first. Someone like you, who has no experience and only entered this academy through connections, is... is... is absolutely... Hm???”

However,

just as Buqieke was following their original plan and making his righteous declaration, his words suddenly came to an abrupt stop.

The dragon boy’s eyebrows began twitching uncontrollably.

Because after replaying the black-haired girl’s self-introduction in his mind, Buqieke suddenly seemed to realize an extremely serious problem.

Hm?

Wait?!

Hold on, Big Sis, what did you just say?

The arrogant and domineering air from moments earlier vanished instantly, and Buqieke lowered his voice before cautiously speaking again.

“Um... excuse me... Forgive me for asking, beautiful miss... but you just said... what was your surname?”

“Black Rose.”

The black-haired girl answered with an innocent and puzzled expression.

“...”

At that moment,

those two perfectly ordinary words exploded inside Buqieke’s mind like a bolt from the blue.

After receiving that answer, our dear student Buqieke instantly fell into an eerie silence.

The arrogant smile on the dragon boy’s face froze solid.

A faint bead of cold sweat even slowly rolled down from his forehead...

?!
