Just when Gari thought things were finally looking up, that his years of "toughing it out" were about to pay off,

’Sakara gets transferred? Right at this crucial moment? ’

All his plans went down the drain in a heartbeat.

How could he not be mad? When he found out the new Homeroom Teacher was a total newbie with zero teaching experience, Gari’s anger shot through the roof.

’A person who got the job through connections? Nepotism at its finest! ’

’I’m not scared to make her cry and send her running home!’

’I’ll eat my hat if I have to! ’

Before he could let loose on the black-haired girl in front of him, Gari made this promise to himself...

But then,

When he heard her mention the name "Black Rose" he was floored. He stood there, stunned like he’d been hit by a truck.

’Black Rose?! She’s from Black Rose direct bloodline?!’

Staring hard at the black-haired girl, it felt like a stampede was running through his heart.

Hold on,

’Isn’t "Yu Black Rose" that infamous young lady who’s been all over the news lately? Why is she here? The vice-principal talked about a noble young lady teacher from Sadik Empire; is it her? ’

’Why her of all people? ’

’Dang it! ’

’Are they playing games with me? ’

Gari’s inner voice started screaming. But he had no doubts about the girl’s identity. This is Luminous Royal Academy, after all; a teacher can’t just waltz in with a fake name. And let’s face it, the name "Black Rose" isn’t something just anyone would dare to use.

As for why the academy would hire someone from the Black Rose, Gari didn’t even want to dig there.

Right now, his mind was racing with one question.

’Why is she here? And why is she our new Homeroom Teacher?’

’Wait a sec! ’

’Could it be? ’

...

Suddenly, it clicked. Gari thought he had the answer.

’F@ck’

’Black Rose must’ve figured out what the Dragon Clan is up to. They know we’re trying to team up with Red Leaf Empire. That’s why they sneakily transferred Sakara at this key moment! They’re trying to mess up my plans... ’

’And now, she shows up at the academy? Is she here to warn me? ’

-"If you don’t behave, don’t say we didn’t warn you~"-

In a daze,

Those words seemed to echo in Gari’s ears.

It was just a hunch, but when he looked into the girl’s deep, "chilling" eyes, saw the subtle smile on her lips, and felt the dark aura around her, Gari was pretty much convinced.

The black-haired girl in front of him was no ordinary noble. As a family member of the notorious Black Rose, she was clearly ruthless and cruel. Her whole vibe screamed danger; she was not someone to mess with.

If Gari kept up his reckless behavior, he might just end up as dragon steak, just like the Duke of Black Rose had warned, and then be wolf food.

’Man, this is bad. Really bad’

Gari nervously muttered to himself.

He started shaking as fear spread through him like wildfire.

On the other side,

Because of Gari’s sudden silence, the black-haired girl at the front of the room blinked in confusion and asked,

"Um, did you want to say something?"

Her words were simple,

But to Gari, they sounded like whispers from the devil.

-"Say that again, I dare you," -

Gari thought, feeling as if he was hearing things.

At that moment,

He felt like the fate of the entire Dragon Race was in his hands.

Buckling under the pressure, Gari clenched his fists and went silent for a moment.

…

…

’Boss’

’What’s happening? ’

A few students, ready to back up Gari’s statement, looked confused when they saw this unexpected twist. They turned their eyes toward their quiet leader, their minds buzzing with questions.

’Why did the boss stop all of a sudden? ’

’Could it be? ’

’Is it because she’s too pretty for him to say anything? ’

’No way ’

Given Gari’s straightforward nature, his Dragon buddies shook their heads, dismissing the idea.

"I get it! The boss must be cooking up something even harsher to say, getting ready to land a knockout blow on this arrogant new teacher and crush her spirit!"

"Yeah"

"It has to be that"

The three followers with red, yellow, and blue hair, looked at Gari expectantly, waiting for their boss to let loose with some scathing words that would destroy the teacher’s self-esteem.

But then,

They saw something completely baffling.

Their usually arrogant and cocky leader suddenly lowered his hands, carefully took his feet off the table, and wiped away any marks with his sleeve.

’ ’ ’ What? ’ ’ ’

And in the next moment,

Under the stunned gaze of his three followers and the rest of the class, Gari seemed a bit embarrassed as he awkwardly scratched the back of his head:

"Heh... um, sorry, I got a bit loud there."

3X Fw: """ What? Boss??? What are you saying? ""

"Boss, what are you doing? Boss!"

Under the shocked eyes of his three followers, Gari’s attitude did a complete 180. The arrogance, hostility, and disdain that had previously filled his eyes vanished in an instant.

At this moment, Gari seemed like a completely different person.

His whole demeanor turned warm and friendly, and his smile was brighter than ever, as if he wanted to carve the word "friendly" onto his face.

"My apologies teacher, I was a bit loud just now."

"Hmm?"

The black-haired girl tilted her head, clearly puzzled by the sudden change. After all, Gari had seemed quite aggressive just moments ago. How did he become so friendly all of a sudden?

Sensing her confusion, or perhaps due to his own internal unrest, Gari quickly picked up on her ’displeasure.’ He hurriedly added,

"No, no, sorry. That’s my normal speaking volume. I got a bit excited seeing a new teacher, my apologies."

"??"

Watching Gari, who was usually so laid-back but now spoke in the tone of a timid scholar, his red, yellow, and blue-haired followers couldn’t help but raise their eyebrows. Even the other students gave him strange looks.

’Did he really fall for the new teacher?’
