"Dragon..."

In the staff lounge on the first floor of the medical school, Alicia sat with us, holding a cup of blue unidentified drink, sipping slowly.

People around her kept their distance, leaving the tables near us empty, even though other tables were full.

Well, every family has its own struggles. I won't dwell on what happened behind the scenes, I don't want to know.

"So that's it. Although I've seen related information before, I never expected it to be a dragon."

"I'm more curious why your grandfather didn't tell you."

True, this guy's grandfather is the dean of the medical school, which is why he has the authority to let her rummage around a whole floor.

"Well, even though that old man has always indulged me, it doesn't mean he will tell me everything."

"True."

But I think her grandfather's taste is questionable, because at this moment Alicia is wearing a set of nurses' uniform from the medical school. According to her, this is her grandfather's idea of casual wear.

Does her grandfather have such a fetish? Truly bizarre.

"It seems the college's confidentiality work is quite good this time, so many people are unaware. This really surprises me."

It was the same when I asked Ben earlier. They also didn't know about the dragon. I wonder if their families didn't tell them or they themselves didn't know.

"Those who can teach at the Imperial College are not simple characters."

Alicia took a sip of her drink.

"But we are all abandoned individuals, so it's understandable we weren't notified."

"Is that so?"

"Conversely, as one of our 'waste' teachers, what do you think~ do you feel like you've eaten shit?"

"I think if you changed your disgusting way of speaking, or just stayed silent, you would look cuter."

I forgot to mention, this girl still looks very cute after taking off the lab coat.

Though she lacks a chest.

And with her hair tied into two low ponytails, her cuteness factor soared instantly.

Too bad she lacks a chest.

Well, I won't keep staring at her. I feel like murderous glares are coming from the side; I'll just pretend it's my imagination.

"Cuteness and the like are already an illusion to someone like me."

Is that so? Although you say that, your affection level clearly went up a bit, you're still happy, aren't you?

Ah, why are you all so hypocritical in words and actions, truly incomprehensible.

"Alright, I'll participate in that activity, but why do we have to attend classes at school before that, it doesn't make any sense."

"Well, originally it didn't matter, but I want to understand your abilities a bit."

I said with a smile.

"After all, this activity is class-based, so understanding your abilities and making arrangements is essential. Like me, I'm very familiar with my abilities so I can skillfully use them, easily defeating you. I can only assist and supervise in this activity, so after finding the treasure, it's up to you."

"I see, I see..."

Alicia added some bubbles to her own cup, pondered for a moment, then looked at me.

"Well, I'll go to the class tomorrow to have a look. Don't expect too much from me, after all, I can only use some potions, I don't have much magic, and I don't have many combat skills... I mean, without my potions, I'm useless, so I'm curious, teacher, what do you need me to do in the team?"

"Take drugs."

I replied with a smile.

"It's that simple."

——————————Staying up late for robbery is tiring——————————

"I can somewhat understand her situation."

Leaving the medical school, we walked back to the college. As we walked, Aliyah suddenly said,

"Why is that?"

"I know! Brother, didn't you notice the way the others in the medical school look at Sister Alexia? It feels like more than just disgust, almost like contempt."

"Your perception is so keen, I hope Aliyah doesn't take it too seriously when she competes against us in class."

"Hmph!"

Aliyah pursed her lips.

"Contempt, huh..."

I looked back at the medical school.

"Clearly, a bunch of rubbish who only know how to make potions would dare to look down on others, I'm curious where they got the nerve to do that."

"You're being too general, aren't you?"

Aliyah said discontentedly.

"They're just disgusting creatures who only know how to make impotence potions."

"Well, thank you for the clarification."

“By the way…”

Aliyah looked at me and asked,

"How are those people in our class doing? Even if they go to class, they aren't easy opponents, right?"

"Oh, those guys..."

I scratched my head.

"Ms. Mary has disciplined them, they've long since fallen in line. Well, some were also driven by my own interests."

"Is that so?"

"Yes. Anyway, let's head back and have a meal, time is running out. It's good that we solved one problem, but I still need to figure out how to deal with Ben and Sally, those two aren't easy to please."

"Good luck."

——————————Three days ago——————————

Before the morning theory class ended.

"Listen up, in a week, our school will have a class-based event to find treasures. I know you all come from very wealthy and influential families, but this time it's beyond what you can imagine. Retrieve it, or else..."

Ms. Mary smiled as she spoke.

"You will understand that there are more painful things in this world than just one or two."

Everyone shuddered, having experienced Ms. Mary's methods during this time, they didn't say a word, which could be considered their response to her words.

Poor souls, but little do they know there is another demon in the class sitting in the corner watching them, yes, that freak Begi's. This person seems really interested in college life, and ever since returning, they have been coming to class very punctually every day, with no abnormal behavior in their actions.

Except for the way she looks at everyone in the classroom from the back…

It's like a monster staring at its treasure, I dare not speculate on what she wants to do.

"For this operation, for those who didn't come to class, I'll figure out a way to notify them. Just adjust your positions a bit; Lima, Samehi, Melordo, you belong to the T... I mean, the Forward Camp, figure out a way to get some sturdy gear for home. Madol, Dest, Herd, you belong to the DPS… no, the Midfield, maintain a certain distance from the DPS. And then there's Princess Cher, Princess Annie, you two mages... no, mages should hide in the farthest place and focus on DPS, Oyado, you're responsible for their safety. Okay?"

"Understood."

Everyone answered quite directly, it seems the teaching has been quite effective while I was away. What exactly happened during my absence?

"Well then, class dismissed."

With that, Ms. Mary ran off ahead.

I looked at everyone in the class and shrugged.

"Don't forget to come for the afternoon class, everyone."

I said, then turned around to open the door.

"Teacher Lin!"

Someone suddenly called out to me.

I sighed upon hearing it was a male voice, really not wanting to deal with it.

But my duty as a teacher prevented me from doing so, so I turned around to see Herd standing behind me, looking at me.

"My father would like to meet you, would you be able to join us for lunch?"

"Um... Can I bring a friend along?"

"Of course."

"Well... sure, no problem."
