-------------

Inside Luminous Royal Academy, each class is equipped with a Homeroom teacher, essentially serving as the class Supervisor. Besides instructing students academically, they are also responsible for guiding their training and ensuring their safety. In some sense, they act like bodyguards.

As for the previous Homeroom Teacher Sakara, Mengxi was rather indifferent to him. After all, she had little interaction with him beyond necessary work. She handled all her course guidance and training on her own, without needing his help.

As for personal safety?

She didn’t need him for that either.

Mengxi’s own strength was not inferior to that of the class teacher, and the Pope had even specially arranged a strong guard team to protect her.

However, Mengxi was still surprised when she heard that the teacher was suddenly replaced. She looked at Phillipe, who was beside her, in confusion,

"Changing Homeroom teacher? Right before the final assessments?"

"Yeah..."

Phillipe nodded, equally puzzled, "To be honest, I don’t understand what they’re thinking either. Anyway, it’s a directive from the vice-principal."

As he spoke, Phillipe couldn’t help but recall the panting vice-principal. He wondered if it was his imagination, but the usually reliable vice-principal, who had peak sixth-level strength, seemed to be sweating.

’It must be my imagination,’

"I didn’t ask too many questions about the vice-principal’s instructions. I just followed them," Phillipe added.

"Oh..."

Mengxi casually responded as she put her magic book back into her spatial ring, "What about the original teacher, Sakara?"

"He’s on leave."

"On leave?"

"Yes, maternity leave."

"Oh... Wait, what?"

Hearing this, Mengxi’s eyebrows twitched, and her expression became increasingly strange,

"Maternity leave? But he’s a man..."

"Who knows? Anyway, that’s what the vice-principal told me," Phillipe replied.

Mengxi was somewhat speechless, but she was pretty sure that the removal of Teacher Sakara was deliberately orchestrated by someone.

"By the way, what’s the new teacher look like?"

"I don’t know "Phillipe shook his head honestly.

"However, according to the vice-principal, the new teacher is from Sadik Empire."

"Hm? Sadik Empire?"

Upon hearing this name, Mengxi couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

’A new teacher from Sadik Empire at this time? ’

For a moment, a bold guess emerged in the silver-haired girl’s mind. Under the puzzled gaze of Phillipe, Mengxi once again revealed a sweet smile that could captivate thousands of young boys and girls. Even Phillipe, who thought he was immune to Mengxi’s smile, was slightly stunned.

"Mengxi?"

"Never mind, I’m going to sort out some files. See you this afternoon, Professor Phillipe."

"Oh…"

After responding awkwardly, Phillipe looked somewhat confused at the silver-haired girl who was happily bouncing away, as well as the small, fluffy creature that seemed almost left behind, trotting behind Mengxi.

"Why is she in such a hurry? And so happy? Does Mengxi really dislike her original homeroom teacher that much?"

Phillipe was a bit puzzled.

However,

he soon realized that he might not have the mental capacity to think about this issue at the moment. What he needed to consider now was how to deal with the intimidating students not far behind him.

Because they saw Mengxi flash that familiar, sweet, and captivating smile at Phillipe, the students who were observing from a distance couldn’t help but imagine a teacher-student romance. Mengxi’s hurried departure to sort out files was directly interpreted as running away out of shyness.

For a moment,

Many students looked at Phillipe with, if not murderous intent, at least glaring eyes. It seemed as if they had metaphorically donned black hoods and pulled out large, menacing scythes.

"Ah, this…"

A drop of cold sweat trickled down from Phillipe’s forehead.

…

…

--

The afternoon classes arrived quite fast.

Because she was focused on preparing materials for the upcoming new homeroom teacher, Mengxi didn’t pay much attention to the ’Battle Royale’ game that had the academy buzzing at noon. After finishing all the paperwork, the silver-haired girl cheerfully left the girls dormitory.

Under the blatant following of her fanboys and fangirls, she arrived at the teaching building located in the middle of a beautiful lake in the eastern part of Luminous Royal Academy.

Luminous Royal Academy is divided into five grades based on the student’s enrollment time (with the possibility of skipping grades).

Each grade,

is further divided into five tiers based on the student’s abilities, talents, and progress in cultivation: Star Origin, Black Diamond, Platinum, Soul Shadow, and Ordinary. Within these five tiers, the academy also categorizes students based on their combat styles into Physical, Magical, and Comprehensive classes.

The purpose of this is obviously to provide the most suitable education for the students.

And our Mengxi is the class president of the first Comprehensive class of the fifth-year Star Origin tier. She’s essentially the big sister among a group of outstanding and talented students.

Therefore,

When Mengxi gracefully stepped into the lavish, spacious classroom with a friendly smile, the previously noisy room fell silent. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. These students, who usually thought highly of themselves, all closed their mouths upon seeing Mengxi. They knew their kind and gentle class president didn’t like a noisy environment.

However,

Mengxi became a bit curious about what her classmates were discussing, considering some of the words she had faintly heard in the hallway earlier. She glanced at an elf girl sitting on a desk, legs crossed, looking like a female rogue, and asked curiously:

"Shaina, what were you all talking about? It was so loud, I could hear it even though this classroom is soundproof."

Caught off guard by Mengxi’s question, the elf girl with delicate features and beautiful emerald hair was stunned.

Clearly,

she hadn’t expected Mengxi, who usually ignored their noise, to suddenly ask her about it. More importantly, this was the first time her idol had initiated a conversation with her in a year!

’My idol? ’

’Talking to me? ’

’Wow, am I dreaming? The idol who’s always been indifferent to me is actually talking to me? What a great day!’

’Could it be’

’She’s finally noticed how great I am? Is she planning to ditch those annoying guys and hang out with me?’

’Hehe~ Hehehe~’

…

The elf girl was thrilled.

However, her extensive psychological training as a princess helped her quickly calm her turbulent emotions. The now-calm elf princess Shaina hopped off the desk and excitedly approached Mengxi:

"Well, you see, Big Si—uh, I mean, Class President! Word is, we’re getting a new homeroom teacher. Everyone was discussing the new teacher"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Mengxi became even more interested:

"So, you were discussing how to welcome the new teacher?"

"Welcome? Um… well…"

Shaina awkwardly twirled her beautiful emerald hair around her slender finger and looked away:

"About that… actually…"

"What’s the matter? Why are you hesitating?"

"Um…"

"Just spit it out."

Seeing Shaina’s hesitation, another young man leaning against the wall with his arms crossed let out a disdainful snort.

The white-haired young man, dressed in a black trench coat and exuding an aura of ’stay away from me’ then walked toward Mengxi.

As he approached, the other students in the room moved aside, showing him respect. This young man with dragon horns on his head was the son of the current Dragon Queen, He was also the strongest in the class, aside from Mengxi.

Moreover,

he was the current school bully.

With his hands in his pockets, the young man walked up to Mengxi. After giving Shaina a dismissive glance, he got straight to the point:

"Welcome? Class President, are you series? What’s there to welcome?"

"Hm? Why do you say that?"

"Class President, you should know... the new homeroom teacher is a temporary replacement."

"I’m aware of that."

"Good"

Gari seemed a bit annoyed: "The previous homeroom teacher was annoying, always meddling in everything. But at least he was a strong level 6 expert with over thirty years of teaching experience. He was a top teacher in Luminous Royal Academy and even had a special teaching certificate. In short, he was qualified to lead our class. But now? He’s suddenly on ’maternity leave’ or some nonsense like that? How are we supposed to continue with the training plan he personally arranged?"

"…"

"This school is so irresponsible. And the vice-principal, that old geezer, found an even more unreliable new teacher! I heard she’s a woman with no teaching experience, and she’s some noble lady from Sadik Empire. A noble lady coming to teach us? Is she just here to role-play or something? How can we welcome such a teacher?"

"So... what do you plan to do?"

Mengxi tilted her head and asked playfully.

In response,

Gari smiled slightly, crossing his arms in a very arrogant and confident manner:

"It’s simple. We’ll give this new noble lady a hard time, make her realize she’s in over her head, and have her run back home crying!"
