Volume 3 + Chapter 92: Hitting The Nerve On Purpose
Xia Yi’s original plan was to leave the Magic Department teacher behind and go seek help from Hill.
She definitely didn’t want to drop out now.
In this academy, the most reliable person—was her own student!
But somehow, maybe her luck was just awful—right as she stepped out the door, she ran into Biden.
Xia Yi even bumped into him and knocked him over, sending all the Magic Department’s teaching documents scattering across the ground.
“Ah, this…”
She didn’t even know what to say.
Next, Biden was definitely going to blow up, point at her nose and yell, drag her to the academic office, and insist on punishment—maybe even expel her, right?
It seemed her student life at Laurel Tree Academy was about to come to an end.
But then…
Biden raised his head, looked at Xia Yi, and showed an old, kind smile. “Why so careless, Xia Yi?”
“Huh?”
Xia Yi’s brain nearly short-circuited.
What was this situation?
It was the first time she’d ever seen Biden treat her like this—gentle, friendly, even smiling?
But then again, Biden’s old face smiling wasn’t pleasant at all. His face had so many wrinkles, it looked like a fully-bloomed chrysanthemum. It would’ve been better if he hadn’t smiled.
Not only did Biden not get angry, he even picked up all the documents himself.
“Be more careful next time, Xia Yi. It’s already class time, don’t wander around. Let’s go to class together.” Biden’s voice sounded remarkably mild.
This Biden… How did he become so kind after just a few days?
This unexpected change gave Xia Yi goosebumps all over. She was practically dying from how awkward it felt.
“Teacher Biden, did you forget to take your meds?” Xia Yi kindly reminded him. “Or… did you take the wrong ones?”
“No, no!”
Biden’s face twitched, as if enduring something—desperately trying not to explode—and patiently consoled Xia Yi.
“Let’s go, Xia Yi. Make sure to listen carefully today, and no daydreaming.”
“…Uhh…”
Xia Yi felt like Biden had been possessed. His attitude was completely different from before.
But seeing that he wasn’t making things difficult, she reluctantly followed him into the Magic Department classroom.
Once the two of them entered, the classroom instantly fell silent. Everyone turned their attention toward them.
Originally, everyone thought they’d get to witness some drama today.
Was this citrus-scented yuri little green tea really as fierce as rumored?
But seeing the two of them walk in peacefully, everyone was left speechless.
“Teacher Biden, you and Xia Yi… yesterday, was…?” someone couldn’t help but ask.
“Ahem, actually yesterday, I just happened to run into Xia Yi and showed her a bit of magic. You all misunderstood. It was all perfectly appropriate!” Biden forced an explanation to everyone.
Everyone’s face had the same three words written all over it: “No one believes that!”
Even Xia Yi herself couldn’t believe it. Given the personality of her inner demon, the fact that she didn’t beat Biden to death on the spot was already a miracle.
What powerful thing had such force—it could actually restrain her inner demon?
“Let’s not discuss such meaningless things,” Biden said as if nothing had happened and walked up to the podium. “Alright, students, let’s begin class!”
Biden still carried some authority. No one dared continue questioning for fear of making him angry.
Xia Yi also hurried back to her seat.
Now, the students of Laurel Tree Academy were already far ahead of their peers. While others their age were still learning how to control and release elements, the students in this classroom were already studying how to enhance elemental magic’s power.
Today’s lesson from Biden was directly related to that: “Advanced Elemental Theory.”
This was a major threshold for junior magicians seeking advancement. Only those who mastered Advanced Elemental Theory and applied it in real battle were eligible to qualify as intermediate magicians.
Most of the students in class already had a basic grasp, but their execution lacked finesse—leading to underwhelming results in combat.
But Biden’s lectures were different. He explained the critical knowledge points with meticulous detail.
Even confused students suddenly felt enlightened. They now had a deeper understanding of elemental usage across different attributes.
Everyone was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, greedily absorbing all they could—except…
Xia Yi.
“Ugh…”
At this moment, the black-haired loli was clearly in distress.
It wasn’t that she didn’t understand Biden’s material—on the contrary, Gran had taught her all of this when she was little. She couldn’t be more familiar with it.
It felt like listening to the same textbook all over again…
Listening to this content was incredibly hypnotic.
Rather than a lecture, it felt more like serving time. And Biden was the prison boss, tormenting her nonstop.
Her eyelids felt heavy like iron and kept drooping. By the end, she’d taken in almost nothing.
She was mentally and physically exhausted, yawning nonstop. Honestly, this was more draining than fighting a magical beast…
Finally, when class ended, Xia Yi suddenly perked up. It was like she’d resurrected from a near-death state, fully restored. She grabbed her book and was the first one to bolt from the Magic Department classroom.
Not being eager to leave after class—now that’s a brain problem!
“Hmph, this is a master magician’s class. If you don’t listen, it’s your loss,” Biden sneered with disdain as he watched Xia Yi leave.
“Such laziness. Hopeless. Just wait until she fails this course—let’s see what she does then!”
…
When Xia Yi returned to the dorm, the little fox was having lunch.
“Wuwuwu, food is such a good feeling!” The little fox looked quite moved.
She was currently spending Xia Yi’s money.
Xia Yi didn’t know when it started, but somehow the once-noble Nine-Tailed Fox Princess Yue Liu had ended up living like a poor, broke side character.
“Nemesis, you’re back from class?” The little fox noticed Xia Yi. “Want to eat together?”
“No, I’ve already eaten.”
“Oh… right, Nemesis, that…” The little fox put down her utensils, hesitating to speak.
“What is it?”
“I have a bit of curiosity… No, wait, I mean, it’s not like I care that much!”
Yue Liu hadn’t said anything yet, and she was already explaining herself.
“Anyway, I just saw you and figured I’d ask… no hidden meaning!”
“If you have something to say, just say it.”
“The freshman social… did you—did you accept anyone’s dance invitation?” the little fox asked nervously.
What a case of hitting the nerve on purpose!
Xia Yi was done.
At this point, she had become the most sapphic of sapphics—the lesbian among lesbians.
Who would even dare to invite her?
She had no interest in romance whatsoever… but fine. That meant she didn’t need to bother dancing with anyone else either. She wasn’t interested anyway.
“No one invited me.”
“No one?! That’s great!”
Upon hearing this, the little fox broke into a bright smile, as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart.
Damn fox radish!!
Xia Yi was furious. Her own sister coming to mock her was bad enough—now even this fox radish wanted to tease her?
Thinking carefully, Yue Liu’s appearance was the type that was wildly popular: nice figure, pale legs, big bust, soft pink fur. As long as she didn’t speak and reveal her Chuunibyou personality, she’d be top-tier. No wonder people liked her.
“Why are you suddenly asking this?” Xia Yi was annoyed now. She pouted angrily.
Yue Liu pointed at the glass table in the living room. “Look at the table. It was delivered by the student council.”
“Hm? This is…?”
Xia Yi picked it up and saw it was an invitation—with the Laurel Tree Academy’s student council seal. It appeared to be an invite to the freshman social.
So Lia hadn’t been lying. The student council really was working on this.
“Are you going?” Yue Liu asked.
“Me? If it’s not boring, I might go play for a bit…”
As she spoke, Xia Yi opened the envelope. It really was addressed to her. But as she read the venue of the social, her face changed on the spot. She slapped the invitation down on the table and instantly changed her mind.
“Nope, I’m not going!!”
