Chapter 115: Tristan's Obsession

Chapter 115: Tristan's Obsession

Although Aurora's actions rubbed many professors the wrong way, there was little they could do about it, and most didn't think it would end up affecting them much anyway, since they wouldn't go bothering a particular student for no reason, after all.

However, there was one professor in particular who cared about the matter very much, and on her, Aurora's 'warning' served to have the opposite effect instead.

When they first met, she had been but an average student, with her only specialty being able to get along better with beasts. And now, she was already a junior professor in the ancient academy. Donna thought that things would remain the same for the years to come, with herself growing to be a senior professor as well, and they would live happily ever after.

On the day they had been caught trying to escape, Donna had never thought that Dane would soon be getting expelled from the academy.

Although most of his belongings that hadn't been on his person were now transferred to her, it didn't bring Donna much joy. After, all she hadn't married Dane out of greed, and they had already been companions for nearly fifty years at this point.

At first, she had thought that Aurora had been annoyed with Dane because of his 'disobedience' of her orders, and that was why he had been expelled, with the little student only being used as an excuse.

As for why Donna herself was spared, she thought that Aurora probably didn't consider her worthy of attention.

However, now that another senior professor had been expelled, and this time there was clearly no other matter except for that very same student, Donna suddenly realized that things may have been much different from what she expected at first.

"So she really did expel Dane for offending a child seriously?!"

Even if she wanted to favor the little girl, wasn't it just as easy to just cancel whatever punishments Dane had ordered, and then just tell him not to do it again? There was absolutely no reason to do it like this! And what she did with Madam Augury was even worse!

Donna could feel a deep surge of both hatred and helplessness in her heart.

But even if she could do nothing against Aurora, it didn't mean she couldn't do anything against her student.

Of course, acting against the girl herself directly was out of the question. She would just be another fish on the chopping block once Aurora returned, and Donna didn't want that, at all.

It wasn't that she was selfish. Donna simply preferred to remain a professor and wait for her husband to contact her again. She knew he must be safe, and he must surely want revenge of his own. Only once she made sure he didn't need her to carry out any plans from the inside would she leave the academy.

But that brought forth the question how to teach that arrogant little girl a lesson without getting directly involved?

Well, turns out that she didn't have to think about it much at all, because there was already a bunch of clowns who made their hatred of the girl all too well known, and they served as the perfect pawns for herself.

He could only shrug and repeat what he heard. "Some people say that she declared that no one is allowed to bully her student, and some say that she said she didn't care about it at all. Some others even say that she 'asked' that people bully her student. It's all a mess."

Tristan's eyes brightened as he suddenly seemed to realize the truth. "I get it now! Hah! That stupid idiot thinks she's so clever, huh?"

Obviously, what had happened was that something happened with Professor Dane and Aurora privately, which caused her to expel him from the academy, and that pink-haired idiot took advantage of that to spread rumors in her favor.

Aurora either didn't hear about it then, or didn't care.

But then, whatever the matter was, it also involved another senior professor! And once she dealt with Madam Augury and expelled her as well, Aurora must have recalled the rumors from earlier, and didn't want the situation to repeat, so she clarified that she wasn't protecting Evelyn!

It was all so simple, but the other students didn't understand at all.

'It must be because that bitch is too good at manipulating people, making her think she's better than she actually is!'

Of course, now that he knew about it, he had to expose her. And he wouldn't stop there, of course, but he still had to get the first step out first before he could take the next one.

With the help of Reynold's group of friends, Tristan didn't think it would be difficult to bring someone like Evelyn down at all.

Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine, however, that a professor would approach him at this time, just as he was about to set his plan into motion.

"W-What's going on? P-Professor Donna, w-why are you here?"

After all, this was the 'Blue Note Mansion', one of the biggest boy's dormitories in the ancient academy, and a place where the presence of the opposite sex was rarer than hens' teeth.

This wasn't because of any rule from the academy, or the females disdaining the boys. Instead, it was because of the natural array below the blue note mansion, which boosted the natural growth rate of all males in the area, and reduced the same for the females.

For the boys, this was a heavenly place to cultivate in, but for the girls, every minute spent here was the same as cutting off a part of their natural growth forever.

And Professor Donna, though not a female student, was also giving up a part of her 'growth potential' simply from being here. Whatever her reason was for coming here it couldn't be good.
