"What's going on?" Furina's voice was cold, but there was also a hint of anger hidden in her words.
"I…I…" The professor replied in a stuttering voice.
As soon as he saw Furina's appearance, he could not maintain his arrogant expression just now anymore.
Normally, he was not afraid of the Royal Family because, after all, as a professor, he had the right to treat his students however he wanted.
Nonetheless, it was different for Furina.
She was the daughter of the principal of this Academy, so her words were as if they were coming from that person's mouth.
The Royal Family might not be able to do anything to him, but the principal of Awakened Academy was different. If that person wanted to, he would lose this job immediately.
And once he was no longer a professor, he would definitely receive the most terrible revenge from the Royal Family.
Back to the present, Furina did not pay any attention to his expression and continued calmly:
"Professor, how many years have you been teaching here for?"
Every word she said was like a death sentence for him.
"20 years, Miss…"
"…Hmm, if that's the case, then it must be time for you to retire, right?" She said with a mysterious smile.
Every word she uttered was like a sharp knife stabbing into the heart of this arrogant person. No, now, he was no longer arrogant.
Beads of sweat began to appear on the man's forehead, making him look like he had just finished bathing.
His body trembled uncontrollably even though the other party was only a student who was a dozen years younger than him.
However, this professor also realized that he had to do something if he wanted to keep this job.
Without wasting another second, the arrogant professor immediately knelt down like a loyal dog in front of the eyes of many students and continuously apologized to Furina:
"I'm sorry, Miss! I'm sorry! Please don't fire me!"
Her expression remained the same.
"Why are you apologizing to me? You didn't do anything wrong to me."
Understanding her intentions, the professor immediately apologized to Ash like a child apologizing to its parents after doing something wrong.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness! I swear I won't do it again! Please forgive me!"
Ash was shocked, so shocked that he couldn't even take the professor's apology in. But he wasn't shocked by his lightning-fast change, but by how cool and awesome Furina was.
She was like a savior.
Appearing when Ash didn't know what to do and was ready to save him no matter what.
She was amazing.
And maybe, just maybe, his heart had just skipped a beat…
"It's okay, professor, please stand up. It's partly my fault anyway, so let's just end it like this, okay?"
To be honest, he didn't want to prolong this matter any longer because it was quite troublesome. Moreover, it was also affecting the studies of the other students.
But Ash was sure that most of the people sitting there were just looking forward to the drama.
Only after hearing Ash's enchanting words did the professor carefully stand up, looking at him with gratitude, completely different from the contemptuous and hateful gaze just now.
The man was about to say something, but Furina's soft and cold hand immediately grabbed Ash's hand, pulling him back to their seats.
Along the way, the two of them received many indescribable looks, but most of them were admiration for Furina's coldness and contempt for Ash's uselessness in hiding behind a girl's back.
Of course, all the bad and miserable things were thrown at him. What did he expect in the end?
It seemed that Ash was gradually getting used to it.
After settling down in his seat, Ash carefully observed the students sitting in front of him before feeling relieved when he was sure that Lucian was not here.
In the story, Lucian would start studying in Class D, and after a practice match that took place today, or more precisely, in the next period, he would be moved to the Elite Class right away.
If today, Lucian saw Ash's cowardly scene of having to rely on a girl to escape from a difficult situation, who knew how much his favorability in the eyes of the protagonist would decrease.
Maybe negative? It's possible.
Just like that, the class continued normally without much change.
This time, the professor had become more polite and courteous, but probably only when Furina was in his class.
Once she left, he would definitely return to his old self.
Meanwhile, Ash, who already knew all the knowledge that the professor was teaching, had no interest in listening to the lecture anymore.
So, the lectures of that man had become a lullaby for him.
Drowsily, Ash turned towards Furina - who was still writing diligently - before falling completely asleep.
How beautiful she looked. Her eyes were sharp and serious, not arrogant but not weak either.
Her slender and soft hands were creating beautiful handwriting that no one could compare to.
Even the sunlight was shining directly on her, making Furina's beauty even more splendid and outstanding.
'Damn! What the hell am I thinking?' Ash cursed himself.
It's time to sleep until the next class.
***
"Ash, wake up." A familiar voice softly rang in his ears.
"Ash, wake up." This time, a hand touched his hair and stroked it.
Ash slowly opened his eyes, still feeling a bit dazed, not understanding what was happening. However, he could be sure that Furina's face was extremely close to his, and she was also stroking Ash's hair.
Almost immediately, he carefully pushed her hand away.
Ash didn't use too much force because he was afraid that she would get hurt, thus, he just used enough force to push her away.
"Is that class…over?" Ash tiredly sat up, realizing that there was no one in the classroom anymore.
"That's right, my fiancé. It's time for us to go to the next class."
She rested her chin on her hand, using a cold gaze to look at him, looking extremely cool.
"Huh? Why are we going to the same next class?"
"Hm? Didn't I say that? That I'll ask my dad to arrange for us to be together in all our classes?"
Ash was stunned, completely at a loss for words. He had just recalled that the last time they met, she had actually promised that.
But had she actually done it?
Damn…
Furina was truly a perfect girl.
