"What happened next?" Camille curiously asked as Sophia didn't show any sign of continuing.
"Give me a second. Let me eat my food first. I'm getting a little hungry."
After waiting for her to finish most of her food, Sophia finally resumed the story.
As she started explaining Meiya and her cultivator status, the cafeteria had turned completely silent.
Sophia was the only person talking, and everyone was quietly listening to her story.
Unfortunately, just as she got to talk about the final standoff with the grand archmage, the bell suddenly rang.
"Oh snap, class time."

When the eight of them arrived back in the classroom, Amy already packed up her bags.
"Ahem, Luqing, can you come up for a second?"
After Luqing walked over to be next to Amy on the podium, she finally revealed the announcement.
"Miss Luqing will be your new teacher for the afternoon class. I hope you all respect her the same way you all respect me."
As soon as Amy finished talking, the class was in shock.
But nobody was more shocked than Alex and his two sisters, who were completely caught off guard by the sudden change.
"Um, hello, everyone. I'm Miss Luqing. I will be helping you all train your physical endurance.
Everyone, please get up from your seats, and we'll go for a walk around the school."
All of the students hesitated for a second, but they eventually got up from their seats after seeing Amy's face.
"I'm going to leave everything to you... If any of them misbehave, just tell me, okay?"
Luqing nodded as Amy left the classroom, leaving her alone to lead the entire class.
"Single file line, everyone, please get moving."
The class quickly got in a line as they followed Luqing out of the classroom and into the hallway.
As they walked down, they could see the other classes staring at them through the window in confusion.
It was clear that they were the only class with two teachers and that their curriculum included a 'physical education' class.
After walking for fifteen minutes around the whole school building, Luqing brought them to the empty field right next to the school entrance.
"Everyone, please run around this track ten times. I will be keeping count."
All of the students hesitated again as no one in the school had ever used the track at all.
Exercise like running seemed pointless in their eyes, as mages like them should be learning new stuff in the classroom instead.
With no one stepping up, Alex decided to walk up to the field and began running around the track alone.
Sophia and Mary quickly joined in, forcing her four friends to join in as well, much to their dismay.
Eventually, the entire class joined in running as the students in the nearby building started looking out through the window.
Some of their faces were curious, while some were flat-out laughing as they couldn't understand the point.
To most of them, running around the track almost seemed like some sort of cruel punishment or even torture.
"Alex and...?"
"Camille."
"Alex and Camille, I need you two to give me a list of names of those people who are walking."
"Yes Miss Luqing!"
As the two of them excitedly ran over to the track with their new job, everyone suddenly started running.
It was almost as if they were now extra motivated after hearing what Luqing said out loud to the two of them.
Even those who were already tired started running, albeit on the slower end, as they were too exhausted.
In the end, everyone had finally finished all ten laps after an hour and a half had passed.
Both Camille and Alexi gave Luqing back an empty list, which she was fine with as she gave everyone a break.
All of the students immediately began casting water spells to cool down and quench their thirst.
"How convenient..."
Luqing murmured as she watched all the students drink their water from their spell.
After the ten-minute break was over, Luqing made Camille and Alex quickly force all the students to get back up again.
Walking down the right side of the school, Luqing stopped right at several trees at the back of the school building.
The students let out a sigh of relief as they were finally out of the hot sun and into the shade of the trees.
"Everyone, I want you to spread out in formation."
As everyone created some distance between each other, Luqing signaled Camille and Alex to come to the front.
"I want everyone to do a horse stance for ten minutes."
The class looked a little confused until she demonstrated it to everyone with her legs apart and arms out.
At first, everyone thought it was super easy as they quickly copied what she was doing.
However, after just a minute of maintaining it, several of the student's legs started to shake.
"Alex, leg and back straight! Look at Camille! She's doing it perfectly."
Luqing suddenly yelled out loud as she forcefully pushed her hands onto Alex's back to fix his posture.
At the same time, the entire class quickly fixed their posture as Luqing's angry voice made them fear her even more. Enjoy new stories from m-v l'e-NovelFire
Especially after seeing the strength Luqing used to 'correct' Alex's posture, which made him frown in pain for a second.
"Everyone, I want you all to stretch out your left arm... Mary! Who told you to stretch out your right arm?"
"S-Sorry Miss Luqing."
As Mary quickly switched to her other arm, the rest of the class who did the wrong one quickly fixed it to the right hand.
"Now left arm... Right arm... Left arm... Right arm..."
After switching back and forth and punching the air, the class finally got their left and right correct.
"How are people unable to tell left from right?" Alex thought to himself.
The moment the ten minute mark was passed, almost the entire class fell onto the ground in exhuastion.
