Test is coming
"What kind of punishment should I use?" Frederic thought deeply
"Hmm, there are so many options out there. Cleaning bathrooms? No, I'm not good at cleaning, I'll just mess it up." Alexander stroked his chin, closed his eyes, and mumbled quietly
"..." Is this boy thinking about what kind of punishment he should receive?
Frederic began to feel a morning headache because he did not drink his coffee
But this boy was causing trouble early in the morning
He wouldn't be able to enjoy a cup of coffee if he didn't send Alexander away. "You will work three hours a day at the Academy Hospital."
Alexander shook his head. "Don't you think you're being a little lenient?"
"Get out of here, before I fine you ten thousand coins."
"Yes, sir." Alexander gave the military salute and left the office
Frederic let out a relieved breath after he heard the sound of the door closing
Finally gone, this kid is a pain in the ass
-----------------
Alexander entered the classroom
instructor Christina was watching the students who were taking their daily exam
Christina looked towards the entrance when she saw Alexander standing there. "What is the reason for your delay, Apprentice Alexander?"
"..." Thanks to Frederic, he was late for morning classes
How was he supposed to explain this to Christina?
"The principal called me into his office." Alexander said
"principal? Is there a problem?" Christina put the tablet down and became worried
Did Alexander cause a new problem?
"We have had a heated discussion about whether mathematics teachers will pose a threat to humanity in the future." Alexander said with a serious expression
"Math teachers..?" Christina asked strangely
Even the students who were taking the daily exam stopped writing and looked at Alexander with puzzled
What kind of conversation did Alexander and the principal engage in?
Alexander nodded. "We both hate mathematics, I think we have a common trait."
"You two are more alike than you can imagine." In Christina's eyes, they both liked to cause trouble
"So, can I come in?"
"No, you have to go and get a paper from the principal to make sure you weren't asleep."
Alexander left without saying a word
------------------
Finally my coffee
Frederic slowly raised the cup to his mouth
knock! knock!
Frederic's hand stopped before the cup touched his lip
" Who?." Frederic asked obnoxiously
He had been facing disturbances since morning and now he was interrupted while drinking his coffee
Alexander opened the door and entered
"...." Why did this boy come back here?
Didn't I fire him a moment ago?
Alexander stood in front of Frederic. " instructor Christina said I should ask you for a paper to make sure I wasn't asleep."
Frederic sighed
Why does Christina have to be so strict?
She is very popular because of her beauty, but her strictness has made many people hesitate to approach her
Frederic wrote on a paper, signed it, then handed it to Alexander
Leave, brat, you're ruining my day
Alexander received the paper and left
---------------
Alexander returned to the classroom and handed the paper to Christina
He did not understand the point of these measures
He felt like a citizen who had to move from one place to another in order to complete official procedures
Do they want to train students in these trivial procedures so that they become accustomed to what they will face in the future in government departments?
Once again, Alexander applauded the system that takes all these details into account to prepare students for the harsh life
" You can sit."
Alexander entered and sat in his chair
While Christina began to explain the lesson, Alexander prepared himself to enter a state of hibernation
He has adapted himself to sleep with his eyes open
He had been working all night searching and studying the materials in this world
But no matter how strong Alexander was, his body still needed to rest for a few hours
In fact, Christina's lecture was stronger than any sleeping pill
Alexander's consciousness faded
"ou ... live..."
Alexander heard a distorted voice
He exhaled loudly, looking around
What was that?
Alexander saw an elf girl with grass-green hair who was standing next to him
Alexander did not recognize her identity. " can I help you?."
"The lecture ended ten minutes ago and everyone left the class. Only you remained staring at the wall strangely. For a moment I thought you had died." The girl said indifferently
Oh, yes, this is a problem that occurs when sleeping with your eyes open
Others will notice that I'm staring into nowhere
This wouldn't be a problem in crowded places, but others would definitely notice this anomaly if I was alone in the place
"Do you want to join our team?"
" a team?." Alexander asked suspiciously
"I'm talking about the test that will happen in two days."
"..." Alexander did not understand what test this girl was talking about
The girl frowned. "Instructor Christina repeated this more than once. How is it possible that you didn't hear her? Were you asleep?"
The girl remembered how Alexander's breathing was steady and his eyes unfocused
All these signs indicated that he was asleep, only his open eyes proved otherwise
"Sleeping? Of course not. How could a Ideal student like me do this?" Alexander disagreed
The girl looked suspiciously at Alexander
Ideal student?
She would have accepted those words if they had come from any other student
But Alexander was a celebrity that everyone at the academy knew after the series of problems he caused
His notoriety preceded him
She does not yet know why her brother insisted on inviting Alexander to their team
The girl extended her hand and said. "I'm Claire Dacron..."
Alexander shook her hand. "I am Alexander Ford."
He didn't know what was going on, but he had to keep up with this girl now
"So will you join us?"
"Can I participate individually?"
Claire shook her head. "You should be in a team of three or four students."
Alexander clicked his tongue
He does not like to participate in missions with others
Alexander thought about what he should do
He doesn't know Claire
Why did she invite him in the first place?
Should he accept her offer?
He doesn't have anyone he can team up with in class. So he doesn't seem to have much choice
"Why should we waste our time on this?" Alexander sighed annoyed
"It's not a waste of time, the rewards are very tempting."
" rewards?." Alexander looked at Claire
"That's right, I heard that first place will get a third-level potion." A look of excitement appeared on Claire's face
Alexander showed no interest
These were potions for people who used elements
Therefore, he will not benefit from this rewards
"I heard that there is an attractive financial reward for second place."
Financial reward?
Alexander stood up forcefully, making Claire flinch and take a step back
Alexander's gaze became sharp
Second place....I'm coming
