Chapter 344 - Failed Exposure (1/2)
The classes began in the absence of drama. Though the students remained indignant, the parents eagerly supported such a change. They were getting invited by one of the most talented professors to discuss the future of their children. Only the wealthy felt hesitant at the prospect.
The lesson plan now dictated the students to bury their heads in the art of inscription, something Nik couldn't teach, so he kicked back and relaxed while Xiu taught the class. She still wore her hair in a braided tail, but her outfit had changed into an alluring dress that exposed her bosom and hips. An unhealthy sight for the kids, but for Nik, the morning treat couldn't be healthier.
”So, using this Lightning Fire Inscription pattern, a spirit master can enhance his weapons...”
Xiu recited while drawing on the board of the class. Her practiced motion quickly constructed a strange pattern that Nik felt headache just by seeing it. Xiu did well, but when he thought of the lessons he needed to attend to become as proficient as her, Nik floundered.
”Pfft~”
As Xiu finished her inscription, a chuckle rang amidst the silent class, and Nik really got a headache as he realized the owner of the laugh. Xiu stopped in her tracks and turned on her heels to calmly match the youth who has been nothing short of a source of irritation.
”Would you please share it with the entire class as to what is funny, student Nie Li,” Xiu demanded calmly. She was in a good mood, and the delirious actions of the youth failed to disturb her.
”Nothing, teacher,” If it was nothing then Nie Li would not have stood up and since he had quite a bit of bad karma with the Sacred Family in his past life, he decided to settle a few scores today, ”But I think that Teacher Shen misdescribed the inscription pattern. This inscription pattern belongs to the Temperature Controlling collection of the dynasty before the age of darkness.”
Nie Li then continued to spread his arms and shake his head in theatrics to dramatize his point, ”Of course, Teacher Shen knows better than me. There is a book with a similar pattern—”
”I understand,” Xiu nodded calmly. Entering into an argument with a kid was what her tasteless self would have indulged in. There was no point in meaningless banter, and if the inscription pattern she taught was incorrect, she could always pin the blame on her tutor— Vice-Principal Ye Sheng.
”You can take your seat now.”
Xiu turned her back and gave no attention to the kid standing with a dazed face. Seeing his expression, Nik couldn't help but frown and make a few guesses. Nie Li has always jabbed against the members of the Sacred Family in the class. Maybe his family has some misunderstanding with the behemoth named the Sacred Family, or maybe Nie Li was an abandoned child from one of the higher-ups of the Sacred Family. Nik had no way of affirming the cause of Nie Li's issue with the Sacred Family.
Nie Li, meanwhile, grew flustered. The only way to expose the Sacred Family was by showing how ugly they look when someone criticizes them, but Shen Xiu's reaction surpassed Nie Li's expectations. How can he even get into an argument if the second party is not interested? A clap cannot resound if both the hands do not collide!
”Is there anything else?”
Xiu turned and looked at Nie Li, who still stood in a dazed stupor. The eyes of his classmates fell on him as they all looked at him strangely. Part of the reason Xiu did not have any reaction was that she couldn't care less if she was teaching the students correctly or incorrectly. She cared for Shen Yue and decided to take the apprentice class, that is all.
