Chapter 18: The scheme

Squinting his eyes slightly, David pondered for a few moments before giving instructor Aella an answer.

"Uhm, I have absolutely no answer to that question. Instructor." David answer truthfully.

The instructor stared at David for a few seconds before turning her gaze away from him. "Hmm, anyone else wants to give a try?" Instructor Aella said while looking at her other students.

"Hello, instructor Aella. I'm Phyllida." A very sweet voice chimed in softly. Grabbing most of the people's attention.

David immediately recognized that voice. Although the way the voice sounds was as little different than it did before, making the ever lazy David wants to look over to her.

Lazily snapping his head in the direction of the voice, David's eyebrows rose slightly. 'She is a bit different than when I met her just slightly over 10 minutes ago.'

When David met her at the entrance of her sky cruiser, she was a little seductive and also a bit fiesty. But now, she looks just like the innocent neighbor next door. Hence causing his raised eyebrows.

"Hold up for a minute." Instructor Aella raised her hands to stop the innocent looking girl from continuing with her words.

Folding her hands, making those melons about to pop out of their their pockets more enticing. Drawing a light gasp from most of the male students including David. Being physically lazy doesn't affect his sexual desires. He could tell by the swelling of his third leg rising with every beat his heart made.

Gulping down mouthfuls of saliva, David recovered in time to listen to her next sentence.

"Kids, let me get things straight with you all. I really do not care for your names, or anything information related to you or about you." Aella said while also not forgetting to send an indifferent gaze towards the students.

When David heard her words, he didn't really care about it, he honestly didn't care about it. But then he glanced towards Phyllida seemingly about to gloat in the face of her misfortune, although he didn't really give a f*ck about her, he would be quite happy to see her fail.

When David turned his gaze towards her, he saw that although her facial expression easily said she was angry, And although David's body language looked like he doesn't easily notice things happening around him. Mainly his slightly droopy eyes. But they were always sharp.M nothing could wax his eyes. Unless he lets them.

Especially when he there are strong being in his immediate surroundings. like for example, the instructor who could threaten his his life. She could do him in like she's killing chickens. When there are powerful beings in his surroundings, his eyelids would drop down, covering his eyes his eye lashes would protect his eyes from been observed by the opponent. His body would relax a lot and from another's perspective, it would look like he was just being lazy. But his muscles would be very tense, ready to respond to any threat in the fastest way possible. And right now, he could feel the threats coming from his front, his left and right side simultaneously.

The one coming from the left, he could feel that they were two other people aside from Phyllida. The threat from his left side, is even a little bit bigger than that of Phyllida. Which means apart from Phyllida, there are other people students amongst the batch of students who had been highly trained by their families.

He keenly noticed that although her facial expression is on of embarrassment which made the eyes of the other boys who saw them wants to hug her and protect her from bad guys, especially Nihyuh who is pretty much glaring at the instructor with squinted eyes. Phyllida's eyes were still as a lake without any ripples. Thinking for a bit, David made a speculation.

'Maybe she doesn't care what the instructor thought of her. But, from what I've noticed from her so far, she wouldn't do something like that.

Unless she knows exactly what the the instructor would say, and was waiting for that. What would she gain though?. Oh, since the instructor doesn't want to know their names, the only persons name she knows now is Phyllida. What a scheming Little girl.' David eyes twitched as he thought.

If the instructor wishes to choose a person from the class or for some other matters entirely, Phyllida's name might just pop into her mind.

"Although I don't care about your names, what I do care about is your talent in the art of combat. If it's good, I would be very thrilled to know your name. But if it's mediocre." Instructor Aella paused for a moment. Staring piercingly at the students.

"Well, if we meet outside combat lessons, let's just say we never knew each other. Strangers to each other. Don't be bothered to greet me cause I won't bother answering you. Got it?" the instructor said in a stern voice.

"Hey, blue blond guy. Answer the question." She motioned to a boy with blond hair and blue eyes who had risen hand up earlier to answer her question, While also glancing at Phyllida. 'Hmph, although the girl looks like an innocent girl, she's actually pretty good at scheming. too bad she can't fool me with just that not letting her continue would be her punishment.' Aella snorted as she thought preparing to listen to the blue blond boy speak.

"Yes instructor." the boy replied in a calm tone that exuded his confidence and pride.

"The Rapidly Evolved Beasts are strong because of their ability to absorb the mutagen in the air, which increases their combat prowess the faster and longer they could absorb the mutagen." The blue blond boy finished his sentence while smiling.

Instructor Aella rolled her eyes while sighing, 'This dumb boy.'

Ignoring him completely, she spoke out to them "Who else can answer the question. I mean correctly this time." she asked.

No one replied because most if them would give the same answer as blue blond boy.

Seeing as Phyllida was the only one whose hands were up.

"Alright, speak up girly." Out of options, Instructor Aella chose Phyllida.
