Book 4: Chapter 24: Lesson Time

It was noontime and the scorching sun was high up in the sky.

Lilith and Diana were walking back to the auditorium in single file

“Hey martial niece, I wonder if Elder Mord is pissed since both of us ran off despite being in charge of the disciplinary committee.”

“It should be fine. I’ve handed over the remaining tasks to Wendy. Nothing should go wrong. Even if he’s Elder Mord, he wouldn’t just get angry about trivial things like you insulting the entire school or me running away in front of the entire school.”

“Hm,” Lilith nodded. “By the way, why are you keeping a distance from me? Didn’t I tell you that I’m forgiving enough to forget about whatever happened earlier?”

Diana, who was more than ten meters away from Lilith, hurriedly shook her head. “Lead the way, Lilith. I’ll be right behind you. Don’t worry, I know my way very well around the academy. I won’t get lost.”

“Lilith? Should you be addressing me this way?” Lilith threw a glance at Diana and narrowed her eyes.

“...M-Martial... aunt.”

Diana tearfully squeezed the two humiliating words through her teeth.

On the other hand, Lilith had a look of satisfaction on her face.

It was as though there was an all-meat buffet.

“That damn old man actually agrees to such an absurd thing about accepting a disciple on behalf of his master. He doesn’t even have a master!” Diana muttered under her breath with red eyes.

“Chill, chill. Life is always filled with twists and turns. You have to think positively. At least I won’t be shoving a saint-level scroll down your throat any time I want, right?”

Lilith walked up to Diana, stood on tiptoe and patted her on the head.

Due to height difference, poor Diana had no choice but to lower her head.

Damn it, it’s all that old b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲’s fault!

President Diana lowered her head. The unprecedented humiliation that she felt nearly reduced her to tears.

But then again, she was already on the verge of tears.

Not only did he agree to the idea of Lilith becoming his junior martial sister, he even told her, his only disciple, to obey everything that Lilith, her martial aunt, said.

All just because he wanted to pass on his s̲h̲i̲t̲t̲y martial skills!

Goddammit! Did he pick me up from somewhere?

After thinking about it carefully, she had no parents.

So her master really picked her up from somewhere!

S̲h̲i̲t̲! Does being picked up mean one would be denied human rights?!

“Since there’s nothing else for us to do back there, let’s find a place to eat. It’s already noon and your martial aunt is starving.”

“Fine. What do you want to eat, Li... martial aunt?”

“Meat. I’ll eat anything except dragon meat.”Fiind updated novels on no/v/elbin(.)co/m

The corner of Diana’s mouth twitched as she thought to herself that even if Lilith wanted to eat dragon meat, she wouldn’t know where to find it.

“Oh right, this meal’s on you.”

“Huh? Why?”

She read it over and over again, but didn’t find the information she needed.

“She said there’s class but where? The academy is so huge, I can’t possibly go around searching every room!” she cried tearlessly.

.........

Eastern District, Lecture Building 5.

Class 9 of first-year.

Miguel, the class teacher, walked into the classroom and glanced around the room. “There shouldn’t be any more latecomers after experiencing the first class right? Well then, I’ll start the roll call now.”

It was then a trembling hand appeared in Miguel’s line of sight.

“What is it? Speak!”

“Um... Sir...” Thea scratched her cheek and spoke up shyly, “Lilith... seems to be late again.”

Miguel was stupefied.

“Late again? Is she undermining my authority? Or becoming the unprecedented vice president from first-year has gone to her head?”

“Well... Lilith had to deliver a speech on behalf of the disciplinary committee this morning. It’s only normal that she didn’t receive the class notice from you.”

“Ohoho, normal?” Miguel snorted coldly. “Do I look like I care? If she doesn’t show up in ten seconds, I’ll tear her apart.”

Thea instantly shrunk. “Do... Do you have to?”

“What do you mean ‘do I have to?’ Would she be afraid of me tearing her apart after dishing all those insults in front of the entire academy?”

Miguel sneered, “One.”

“Two.”

“Three.”

“Seven.”

“Hey, sir! You’re counting wrongly!”

“What do you mean wrong? This was how my P.E. teacher taught me to count.”

“......”

“Eight.”

“Nine...”

“TEN!!!!”

Mr. Miguel moved his wrists while wearing a sinister smile on his face.

It was at this time...

“Get out of the way! Lilith is about to land!”

A black shadow flew in at high speed from outside the classroom window, and then slammed right into Miguel’s head.

Mr. Miguel couldn’t even wipe the sinister smile off his face in time before everything in front of him turned black.
