*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
"Come in."
The doors of Evane's office were opened and a beautiful red brown-eyed, light-blonde-haired woman walked in.
"Teacher Arvina, I heard you wanted to talk to me but why did you come on your own? You could have called me in your office."
Evane muttered as she stood up from her seat.
"Princess Evane, you should not lower yourself like this, you have to take note of your status." Arvina narrowed her eyes and suggested.
"I am just a normal teacher in this academy, you, on the other hand, are the Vice Headmaster, it is completely normal for me to act like this," Evane answered with a polite smile on her face.
Arvina shook her head.
She knew her words won't have any effect, however, she still wanted to try nonetheless.
Evane has already given up on her title as the princess and wanted to live in peace, however, Arvina knew that something like that isn't possible.
Sooner or later, she will be dragged into politics, whether she wants it or not.
"So what did you want to talk about, Teacher Arvina?" Evane questioned.
Arvina came out of her thoughts and replied,
"I want to talk about Nux,"
"Nux? What about him?"
"I heard that you have allowed him to live in the Teacher's abode.
Strange rumours have started because of this,"
Arvina didn't say anymore.
Evane knew how the world works and gossips were the best sources of entertainment for most people.
She knew what Arvina was getting at and she also knew what Arvina wanted her to do.
However,
Evane shook her head,
"I don't care what those people say.
I am doing this because I want to protect Nux."
People can think whatever they want, Evane didn't care.
She would do what she wanted to do. Now that she has promised that she would protect Nux, she would do her best to live up to it.
"You are trying to protect Nux?" Arvina frowned.
"Yes, that boy defended himself in front of a son of an Earl, in the process, he injured his opponent a little, I am worried that the Earl would target him.
He is a commoner with little to no background, although there is a Marquee supporting him, I don't think that Marquee do anything if he ends up dead.
Therefore, I believe that as his teacher, it is my duty to protect that child."
Evane replied with a determined look on her face.
However, Arvina's expression didn't change at all. Rather, her frown only deepened.
"You are trying to protect Nux…?"
She questioned again, her mind couldn't believe the absurdity of this situation.
The boy that Evane was trying to protect was probably stronger than her.
Earl?
Someone like Earl is nothing in that boy's eyes.
If he revealed his real cultivation, that Earl would come and beg for merc-
'Ahhh…'
Arvina finally recalled the problem.
It was hidden.
She knew that Nux was a Grand Master Stage Cultivator however, Evane and the others did not.
Evane was just trying to protect an Advance Stage Cultivator.
Arvina needed to think of another way to solve this problem.
"You don't believe the Academy's security system?"
Arvina questioned.
"I don't," Evane answered without any filters.
"…"
Arvina couldn't find a way to retort either.
For an Earl, it was pretty easy to get a student killed inside the academy.
The only reason why no one does it is that once it is found out, the consequences would be disastrous.
The Academy's leader was a King Stage Cultivator, getting into his bad books was a bad idea for any noble house.
However, since Nux was a commoner, no one would search this case and it would be buried.
That is why an Earl might try to assassinate Nux inside the Academy.
"What about me? Do you trust me?" Arvina questioned.
"Huh?" Evane frowned.
"Teacher Arvina, what are you talking about?" She questioned back.
"If I tell you that I will protect Nux, will you trust me?" Arvina questioned.
"I need to know how you are planning to do it."
"I will allow him to live in my mansion, I am sure I would be able to protect him if anyone dares to attack him," Arvina answered and Evane couldn't help but blink a few times.
What the hell was Teacher Arvina talking about?
"Won't that spread weird rumours as well?" Evane questioned.
"Huh? Of course not, he is my personnel Student, why would there be rumours like that? Candice had a room inside my mansion as well."
Arvina answered and Evane's eyes widened in surprise.
"He is your student!?"
"Yes, I took him in as my student after seeing his talents," Arvina answered and Evane couldn't blink her eyes.
Arvina Skyfall, a man-hater, took a male student as her student on her own accord. What!?
What the hell was happening!?
"So him living in my Mansion should be fine, right?" Arvina questioned again.
"…" This time, Evane had no answer.
She had no more reasons to keep him here but for some reason, she didn't want Nux to live in Arvina's mansion.
Or rather, she didn't want him to leave this place.
"Teacher Evane, it should be fine, correct?" Arvina questioned again.
Suddenly, a determined look appeared on Evane's face as he nodded,
"Have you asked Nux? What does he say?"
"About being my student? Of course, he agreed."
"No, I am talking about you changing his room."
"I have not asked him," Arvina answered.
"Then that's it, ask him first, if he agrees, I would agree as well."
"Huh? Why would he not agree?" Arvina frowned.
"Yes, that is what I am talking about, just ask him first, once he agrees, I will agree as well."
Arvina's frown deepened.
Why make a simple process so complicated?
She couldn't understand.
However, in the end, she couldn't force Evane, therefore, she shook her head,
"Alright, as you say, I will ask him first."
Saying that, she turned around and left Evane's office.
After she left, Evane sat on her seat and then placed her hand on her beating heart.
'What the hell is happening to me?'
