The thin-faced, white-haired professor with deep-set eye sockets and a sharp voice wore a pair of small glasses on his face. He meticulously drew the appearance of an unknown herb on the blackboard.

"This is the Skull Crown Flower, produced in the Frozen Empire of North. It has a cold temperament and is usually guarded by two to three Storm Wolves. The picking difficulty..."

The professor glanced down at the audience, and a cold light flashed above his glasses as a piece of chalk, seemingly with eyes, attacked me ——

"Wake up!"

I awkwardly covered my slightly swollen forehead and nodded.

"Hmph... After the Skull Crown Flower is mixed with the Ice Lotus Grass, the effect is completely opposite to their individual properties. It becomes a hot tonic..."

So boring...

Why do I keep subjecting myself to this torture? The thought of those two people in the dormitory having fun and games made my heart ache...

Hey, professor, how dare you treat your only student like this? Do you believe that I can turn my head and walk away, leaving you with no students?

Oh well, I'm such a kind person...

"Professor! The Skull Crown Flower mixed with Ice Lotus Grass is not a so-called hot tonic. It simply enhances the cold resistance of the body, thereby indirectly improving the body's heat resistance. The definition of a hot tonic is a potion with a strong thermal effect. I don't think what you said was accurate."

Huh, there are actually other students here...

I looked left, looked right, and then turned around ——

At the back row of the classroom ——

Short straight hair in deep blue color, a slim-fitting pair of shorts, and a bottle green blouse that covered just enough of her chest.

But the most eye-catching were those long, slender ears...

Elf...

The professor pushed his glasses, turned around, and looked at the girl behind me, smiling.

"Hehe, well said. Originally, I thought this school wouldn't have any students seriously studying magic potions, but it seems that there are still some. Hmm, the Skull Lotus Grass Potion cannot be considered a hot tonic when looked at closely."

The top student elf girl smiled gently and elegantly sat back down.

And the professor's mood seemed to improve a lot. His actions became more graceful, and his tone became much softer.

Well, since this teacher has students, I should go back first...

I stood up quietly and prepared to leave the classroom ——

"Sit down!"

"Yes... I'm very sorry..."

————————————————————

I bit my finger, barely holding on until the end of class.

Watching the professor's figure getting further away, I breathed a sigh of relief.

The elf girl started to leave from the seat behind me, paused when passing me, and looked at me with a contemptuous gaze ——

"Heh, if you can't concentrate and pretend to be a top student, then don't do it. You lowly mortal."

I'm really sorry for pretending to be a top student, a real top student. By the way, the elegant and beautiful image of you in my mind has been shattered by this statement.

"It's an insult to breathe the same air as a useless waste like you who can't even focus in class. Pitiful ordinary person, sigh..."

Ugh, so annoying...

Watching her proud figure, a mischievous idea suddenly emerged in my heart.

"Wait, Miss Elf, I have something to ask you..."
