I just looked at him with the same smile as earlier, not saying anything, and he stopped talking. I turned around and continued presenting myself.
“As I said, I’m Caedrel, and I will be your professor for this semester. It’s a pleasure to meet all of you.”
“Haha! He’s scared of me…look at him. He stopped looking at me.”
I was a patient person, but this guy was pushing it, and it was pissing me off. I clenched my jaw and looked at him for real this time. I gathered a bit of aura in my eyes, and they started glowing as I glared at him.
“I would suggest not talking at the same time as me. Now, let’s continue with the class without this insect speaking.”
He gritted his teeth. “Insect? Did this commoner just call me an insect?!”
He looked around himself for validation, but I was just confused. Why was everyone thinking that I was a commoner? I was reborn in the family of a Duke. I wouldn’t call that being a commoner. Either way, I didn’t correct him. Him saying something like that only proved that he was an immature little shit.
“Are you insulting me? An heir of the Evergreen Family?” He asked, his eyes staring at me with a huge smile.
I wasn’t going to apologize. “You can shove your Evertwat Family up your ass. I don’t care.” I turned to the rest of the students and continued. Him talking about my status made me think of something.
The rules of this class.
“There will be many rules in this class, but the most important one is equal—”
“What’d you just call my family? Do you know who my father is?”
A sigh. That was all it took for me to turn the light atmosphere of the class into a heavy one. “I don’t give a shit about your father, and if he wants, he can complain to the director.” I walked over to him and bent right over his desk. “I can tell you one thing. I won’t be the one getting removed from here.”
I stared at him dead in the eyes and once again smiled at the rest of the class. I gave it a good look, and most of the students seemed nervous from what they had just seen. After all, my first impression had been utterly ruined by Jackson. But, oh well, I guess my test will make a better one.
“So, if no one interrupts me.” I looked over to Jackson and his little friends. “I will finish all of this in less than a minute and then we can move onto our test.”
Silence took over the classroom.
“Thank you. The most important rule is equality between all social statuses. If I ever see you flaunt your status around to bully others, then you won’t be able to enter this class anymore, and I might just decide to kick you out of this school.” I pointed over to Jackson. “That right there was the first and last time that I should be hearing of your noble status. Because as I said earlier, I don’t care.”
A few gulps were heard in the class. I had to admit I hadn’t planned to be such an ass in my first class, but it seemed I needed to gain the respect of some of my students. I glanced around the class, which was quite small considering the number of students. All desks could have two people on them, so only one person in the entire class was sitting alone.
With a quick glance, I estimated that he was a loner. He wasn’t even looking at me, probably sleeping off right about now. Either he couldn’t give a shit about the Royal Academy, or he was so strong that he didn’t need to listen. Oh well, I guess I’ll figure it out soon enough.
I quickly went over the rest of the rules of the class, which were basic ones that everyone should know about: respect, not talking at the same time as me, things like that. Nothing very important, and honestly, most of them probably weren’t going to be respected, and I couldn’t care less. Only the first rule I mentioned needed to be followed.
After telling them everything they needed to know, we headed toward a pretty deserted field for their ability test. I had already found it beforehand, and it only took a few minutes to reach it.
Arriving there, I dropped the huge bag, which was the size of at least ten human beings, right beside me.
“Ready to look at what’s inside that bag?” I smiled at all the students, who were now all silent.
I might have gone a bit too hard on Jackson, who was now completely silent, just looking at me with pure hate in his eyes. The chances of me getting a call from the director because Jackson’s father called were pretty high, but it didn’t matter.
“You know…you guys can talk, right?” I laughed. “As long as you’re not a total dick like him.” I pointed to Jackson again. “I don’t care what you do.”
The purple-haired girl raised her hand again.
“Yes?”
“Can we start the test? Already an hour has passed, and the rest of the classes have finished already.”
“Hm, right. We should get a move on.”
I nodded a few times and grabbed the handle, turning it around, releasing the Cyclops inside it. He had a few bruises on his skin, and since I hadn’t fed him anything since yesterday, he looked a little hungry, looking at the students of my class. I had to admit, I hadn’t actually thought about giving him food. But well, it’ll just make things funnier.
“A C-Cyclops?!”
“I-Is that the one that adventurers found in the Royal Forest?”
I smiled at the person who just said that. “Exactly, that’s him! Isn’t this great?”
All the students looked at me with dubious looks. They didn’t seem sure if I was joking or not.
