Chapter 6: This scene was too bizarre, like something out of a horror movie
To Sam, the name Alice was very familiar because she was one of the key female leads in the game.
In the game, the male lead, a mischievous student, often stayed after class for extra tutoring with the teacher. During these interactions, their relationship gradually spiraled out of control, leading to some inevitable events.
In the BAD ending, the lead was murdered by Alice in the classroom. His body was left there, but his head was missing, taken by Alice to her home and placed on her bedside table, ensuring that every day, Sam’s gaze could only fall upon her.
Thinking about this ending, Sam couldn’t help but shiver slightly.
What was slightly different from the original plot was that, in the game, Alice was already the lead’s teacher from the start, not a substitute brought in temporarily.
Sam had been relieved not to see Alice initially, but now it seemed that this game world was also undergoing subtle changes. Not only did Angel possess the power to pause time, but the way this teacher made her appearance had also changed.
Whispers spread among the students:
“What a beautiful class teacher…”
“Is my teenage fantasy going to come true? With such a beautiful teacher, I bet my grades will skyrocket!”
Even Louis, sitting not far away, seemed mesmerized, gazing at Alice.
Sam had no such thoughts; he simply bowed his head, hoping to avoid any contact with this woman.
He wanted his head to remain his own.
Alice seemed oblivious to the students’ whispers, maintaining her composure and professionalism.
“Let’s start with roll call, to get to know everyone.”
“Kassadin.”
“Here!”
As Alice called out names, students raised their hands in response. This was normal for a new teacher to get acquainted with the students.
Soon, it was Sam’s turn.
“Sam.”
“Here.”
Sam calmly raised his hand, making no odd movements.
However, he noticed Alice pausing briefly, seemingly observing him longer than the others. Feeling uneasy, Sam lowered his head.
“Louis.”
“Here!!”
Sam breathed a sigh of relief; it was just an extra glance, nothing more. But even this slight change in timing made him vigilant. With the Eye of Desire, any extra interaction could have unpredictable consequences.
The roll call was nearing its end.
“Madison.”
No response.
“Madison?”
Alice repeated the name, but the students remained silent.
Sam was familiar with the name Madison; he had been in this world for ten days and knew the basic dynamics of his class.
Madison was known as the bad student of the class, akin to a delinquent from his own world, often hanging out with idlers and rumored to be involved with gang members.
At this moment, a boy with dyed red hair and one hand in his pocket walked in through the door.
Although he was late, he showed no signs of apprehension. Instead, he looked at Alice on the stage with a slight smirk of contempt.
“Oh? A new teacher, huh? My name is Madison.”
After announcing his name nonchalantly to Alice, he made his way back to his seat, only to be stopped by her calm voice. “Wait a moment.”
Turning back with apparent impatience, Madison asked, “What is it?”
Alice, with an unchanged, cool demeanor, faced Madison squarely. “You’re late, aren’t you?”
Madison scoffed, “Maybe, so what? Are you going to punish me just because you’re new teacher?”
Alice replied calmly, “You can return to your seat, but because you’re late, I need a written explanation from you before school ends today.”
This command infuriated Madison, who was already known as a troublemaker. He slammed his hand on a desk, startling the student sitting there, and glared at Alice with outrage.
“What the heck? A written explanation? I’ve never had to write one since I came to this school! Are you insane?”
Facing Madison’s aggressive challenge, Alice remained fearless, meeting his gaze directly. “As a student, it’s your duty to attend classes on time, complete assignments, and respect your teachers. Am I right?”
Normally, such a straightforward approach wouldn’t be effective against someone like Madison.
However, to everyone’s surprise, the usually defiant student seemed momentarily stunned. Clenching his fists, he stuttered in agreement, “Yes, you’re right, teacher.”
Alice continued, “So, your tardiness not only violates school rules but also shows a lack of respect for your teacher. I’m assigning you a written explanation as punishment. Any objections?”
“No objections.” Madison surprisingly responded, now appearing so obedient!
Alice pushed up her glasses and said, “Good, remember to follow the rules from now on. Return to your seat.”
“Okay, teacher.”
Madison returned to his seat, looking oddly compliant, but Alice, seemingly unfazed, proceeded to the podium to start the lesson.
Sam sensed something unusual.
How could this happen? He had witnessed Madison nearly come to blows with the principal due to his bad temper.
Why had he so obediently returned to his seat, even appearing momentarily like a model student?
Turning his gaze back to Alice, she had already begun teaching.
He couldn’t help but turn to Louis, “Doesn’t this seem strange?”
Louis, startled, replied, “Strange? How?”
“Have you ever seen Madison this obedient? He’s even opened his textbook and started paying attention.”
Louis pondered and said, “Maybe it’s the power of a beautiful woman? After all, with such a teacher, I’d pay attention too. I wish Ms. Alice would talk to me more.”
Well, this guy was completely smitten by the beautiful teacher.
Why had Madison suddenly become so compliant? Was it really just because Alice was an attractive teacher?
He looked over at Madison, the guy was earnestly opening his textbook, attentively listening, and even taking notes.
For Sam, this scene was too bizarre, like something out of a horror movie.
