Volume 3 + Chapter 151: Making The Request
Xia Yi sat on the sofa in Laurel Academy’s faculty office, utterly bored.
Perhaps out of bodily habit, she absentmindedly swung her legs while waiting.
Other teachers in the office couldn’t reconcile this adorable loli with the campus tyrant who’d reduced Biden to tears.
Truly, appearances could be deceiving.
“Ah~ why aren’t they back yet?”
Xia Yi complained.
Laurel Academy’s monthly exams were still ongoing.
The recently concluded practical combat exams were just for relevant students, other non-combat subjects were still testing.
Additionally, other grade levels were also undergoing monthly exams.
After all, teachers didn’t only instruct freshmen.
Xia Yi had been summoned to the faculty office to prepare for the upcoming school-wide awards ceremony after all exams concluded.
The teacher assigned to her was currently in a meeting and would return shortly.
So she waited in the office.
But as time passed…
The boredom became unbearable.
Casually, she picked up a magazine to kill time.
It was Laurel Academy Weekly, extremely popular among students and faculty alike.
“This…!?”
But, the magazine’s cover shocked Xia Yi.
The featured person was none other than herself!
An artist’s rendition showed the black-haired loli lounging on a chair in shadowy darkness, her lips curled in a villainous smirk straight out of a manga book.
Not only did she dominate the cover, but headlines screamed her name everywhere.
Laurel Academy Weekly had even dedicated a special feature section to her.
The treatment was top-tier, undisputedly the academy’s hottest topic recently.
Mixed emotions flooded her.
Flipping through, jarring content leaped out:
[Give her a staff, and she’ll make human magic masters cry.
She’s the most terrifying campus tyrant since Laurel Academy’s founding—Xia Yi – Lawrence.
Her exam atrocities have shocked the entire academy.
Combat Department’s star student Brand stated: “If gods asked me to stop Xia Yi, I’d rather stop the gods.”
Who exactly is Xia Yi – Lawrence? Some may still wonder. Join us in our special feature—”The Little Evil Dragon Chronicles”—where we reveal all answers.]
“Am I…really that bad?” Xia Yi muttered.
But reader submissions confirmed public opinion:
[I can’t imagine how terrifying Xia Yi would be if she were from the dragon clan!!]
[Teacher Biden humiliated by a student? Before the Little Evil Dragon, I’d never predict this!]
[I remember exam day, she shattered our team’s symbol of friendship. This trauma will haunt us forever…]
“Ugh.”
Xia Yi sighed and closed the magazine.
Her reputation seemed beyond salvation.
Not that it mattered, she wasn’t here to graduate anyway. Future enrollment wasn’t necessary. Public opinion…really didn’t concern her. Just a slight discomfort.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, Xia Yi?”
A male teacher entered with a radiant smile, his gleaming white teeth almost sparkling, giving him a vibrant aura.
Somewhat…
Though inappropriate, Xia Yi sensed overwhelming youthful energy from him.
This was the Combat Department’s senior instructor, now she learned his name: Kyle.
“Hello Teacher Kyle. Is the meeting over?” Xia Yi stood to greet him.
“Yes indeed!”
Kyle gestured for her to sit as discussions began.
“Mostly formalities. Your exam performance was exceptionally outstanding, far surpassing others, thus qualifying for our academy’s special reward. We’d like to know, what would you like?”
“Reward…”
Xia Yi pretended to ponder.
“Xia Yi, we offer many options! Our Equipment Department’s master craftsman could forge personalized gear tailored to your needs, materials and costs fully covered! He’s even crafted swords for the Holy Knight Order’s Knight Princess!” Kyle enthusiastically explained.
At “Knight Princess,” Xia Yi’s heart twinged, recalling her former fiancée.
But…
Their paths likely wouldn’t cross now.
“Equipment doesn’t interest me much…”
“If gear’s unsatisfactory, we also offer exclusive tutoring from any senior instructor, even human magic master Biden could teach advanced spells—”
Mid-sentence, Kyle remembered Xia Yi making Biden spit blood. Chuckling, he scratched his head.
A carefree optimist indeed.
“Haha! I almost forgot. But Xia Yi, as a special reward, even Biden couldn’t refuse teaching you!”
“Well…”
“Still not appealing? Do you have another request?”
Seeing the right timing, Xia Yi slowly said, “Teacher Kyle, I wish to enter Laurel Academy’s central area and see the legendary ancient tree.”
Kyle seemed surprised. “This choice?”
“Yes. Is it possible?”
“It is, though past recipients making similar requests…”
Likely sharing Student Council President Alistair’s assumptions about seeking miracles, Kyle kindly explained the situation.
“Thank you, Teacher Kyle. I understand, but still wish to see the laurel tree,” Xia Yi insisted.
“I see. The choice is ultimately yours as a reward recipient. The academy will arrange it,” Kyle agreed.
Perfect!!
Xia Yi inwardly rejoiced.
Her goal was now within reach.
……
Royal Palace, Rhine Kingdom.
The kingdom was hosting an important guest.
The King of Rhine Kingdom smiled at the pink-furred fox girl, “Princess of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, we’re honored by your unexpected visit.”
Palace guards and ministers all observed Yue Liu.
Yet her opening remark instantly froze the previously warm atmosphere.
