Chapter 351 He is quite popular "Oh, Teacher Evane is here. Good Morning, Teacher Evane." Nux smiled playfully and for some reason, Evane did not like the sight in front of her at all. Just why in the hell were all the girls in the class standing near Nux's seat? She couldn't understand it and neither did she like it. "What is happening here?" She questioned in a strict tone. "Teacher Evane! Nux is back!" Anna spoke with an excited look on her face. She was excited to see her friend after so long. Her excitement was shared by other girls in the classroom and they nodded as well. "It is good that he is back but why are you guys surrounding him like that?" Evane questioned. "W-We just wanted to catch up to our classmate who has not been attending classes for such a long time." Another girl stepped forward and answered. Evane's mouth twitched in annoyance. 'What a blatant lie.' She couldn't believe that her students were lying like that. "Oh? Then why didn't you catch up with Myrill when he returned to the class after a week of being in Medic's care?" Evane questioned. This was a topic that she, as a teacher, shouldn't talk about, however, right now, since her emotions were a big mess, she didn't think too much and questioned. All the students in the room turned their heads towards Myrill, who didn't have any reaction on his face. Right now, he couldn't care less about what his classmates thought of him. He had bigger problems to deal with. His family was pretty much over right now, his father was a cripple, and he, as the older brother, would now have to take care of his younger brother all on his own. For that, he needs to use this Royal Academy to his advantage, in this safe environment, he would work hard, train diligently and become stronger, only once he is stronger would he be able to protect his younger brother and live a normal life. Yes, he was a lot more mature now. This was a little late, however, as they say, it is never too late to improve yourself. This change might lead to him achieving something unbelievable in the future. Seeing the students' reaction, Evane finally realized what she just said and couldn't help but curse herself inwardly. Nux understood the situation and frowned inwardly, Then, a small smile appeared on his face and he continued, "Teacher Evane, aren't you happy to know that I am back as well?" "H-Huh? Of course, I am." "Aren't you curious about why I didn't attend the class for a whole month?" "I already know about it though?" Evane tilted her head in confusion. "Exactly, you already knew about it, but my classmates didn't, that's why they were curious and came up to me. I am one of their closest friends after all, Right, my friends?" "Indeed." The girls answered with smiles on their faces and Evane's face twitched again. 'And why are all your 'friends' just girls?' She wanted to ask out loud, however, she knew she couldn't do so. In the end, she could only force herself to calm down and sighed, "Alright, catch up with each other later, go back to your seats now. The class is about to start." "Yes, Teacher Evane." The students nodded and returned to their seats. Evane then turned around and started the class. … Time passed by quickly and soon, "Alright, this will be enough for the day. I hope you revise today's lecture after going back, we will meet tomorrow." Evane spoke and just as she was about to turn around, Nux and most of the girls in the class stood up. "Where are you all going?" Evane questioned with a frown. "Didn't you say that we can catch up after the class ends?" Anna questioned back. "What about your other classes?" "Well, I only attend your class, Teacher Evane," Nux spoke with a playful smile on his face. "You are my favorite after all." A small blush appeared on Evane's face, however, since she was in front of other students, she quickly hid that and spoke with a stern look, "You should focus on other classes as well, or you might not fail to pass this Decade." "Yes, I will keep that in my mind." Nux's smile widened. Seeing that smile, Evane realized. 'He can't even fail… he is stronger than most teachers here… What an infuriating fellow.' Evane just wanted to strangle this man alive. "We will be taking our leave now, Teacher Evane. You have a good day!" Anna spoke and then, she pulled Nux out of the class. Other girls followed back. Evane didn't like this scene at all, especially the smiles on those girls' faces. 'They are up to no good…' She complained inwardly. However, she knew that she couldn't do anything about it. In the end, she could only shake her head and prepared to leave. "Teacher Evane…" Just as Evane was about to leave, a girl called out. "Hmm? Julie? Is there anything I can help you with?" Evane questioned. "Teacher Evane, I am facing difficulties in understanding a new Fire Skill I have been learning recently, can you help me with it?" The girl named Julie questioned. "Of course, I am free right now, you can come to my office." The girl smiled and nodded. Evane and Julie then left the classroom and started walking toward Evane's office. "Alright, what do you guys want to eat? Since I came here after so long, it will be my treat." "Oh my, Nux, aren't you generous." "Hehe~ When it comes to academy points, I am the richest person in our classroom." Nux joked and the girls surrounding him chuckled. "…" Evane, who saw that scene paused. Again, she didn't like this strange feeling in her heart. Was she jealous? She thought inwardly, however, she quickly shook her head. 'He is just my student, why would I be jealous? This doesn't make any sense. Also, that boy has some guts, to propose to me yesterday night and then roam around with so many girls the next day, right in front of me. Hmph Hmph' Evane snorted. "He is quite popular." Suddenly, Julie, who has been silent this whole time spoke.
