Ahhhhhhhhhhh……
Gah—!
Keti stared at the black plastic bag in her archrival’s hand, her face turning pale as she trembled in fear.
In her mind, she had already pictured ten thousand outfits from her former teammates’ wardrobes—women’s clothes, all of them.
No…
No way, right?
Are they really doing this?!
As expected, she’d gotten happy too soon.
She’d thought just having a place to stay was already great, but she hadn’t realized… her archrival’s revenge would come so quickly, gulp……………
Is…
Is this to humiliate her by making her wear women’s clothes?
T-Too much, she…she would never wear them!
“I-I-I…I don’t want to—!”
After a moment, the silver-haired beauty’s face flushed red as she firmly refused to take the bag Lynn handed over.
Lynn blinked in confusion for a moment before finally catching on.
After a couple of awkward coughs, he said: “It’s not women’s clothes, um…but it’s not exactly men’s clothes either. Just a few sets of unisex clothes. I figured you definitely wouldn’t want to wear that kind of outfit right now.”
Ah…
Hearing this, Keti realized she’d misunderstood and coughed awkwardly twice.
Ah, this……………..
Why is this guy so considerate?
How annoying, now she just feels awkward about refusing!
“Pfft, of course, if you were just being tsundere earlier and you’re actually a little disappointed now, I can still bring you a couple of cute dresses next time, Miss Keti~”
“Tch…No need! And don’t call me Miss Keti!”
The silver-haired beauty frowned, looking speechless and protesting,
Who…
Who would want to buy that kind of clothing!
After all, she was still a man.
Hmm, ever since last night, when Lynn brought Keti here, she’d thought at first he was living in this room too, but she’d instinctively felt nothing was wrong.
Ahem…
Although, later, Lynn had looked surprised and said he lived in a big villa and went home every night after work, never staying in the dorm.
Ah, why did hearing that make her feel so sad, sob………………
Ahem, never mind, don’t think about it.
Keti took the bag and pulled out the clothes inside. Lynn waved his hand, signaling he’d wait outside.
The silver-haired beauty quickly changed clothes in a flash……………..
Standing in front of the dorm’s full-length mirror, Keti reached out, looking at herself in a white jacket and jeans.
She actually looked quite lively, and she gently smoothed her hair.
Alright, let’s go!
Leaving the room, Keti went with Lynn to handle the procedures for becoming a Teaching Assistant.
Ahem……………..
Even though she’d already moved into the dorm yesterday before officially starting, today was when the formal process began.
Luckily, the process wasn’t complicated.
After all, Keti was only taking on the role of Teaching Assistant.
Teaching Assistant, Teaching Assistant—in other words, just someone who helps out the teachers at school, basically a temp worker.
The treatment was worlds apart from that of official Teachers.
After all, those full Teachers were already part of the Magic Tower.
But correspondingly, the requirements for Teaching Assistants were much looser.
With Lynn’s help, Keti’s paperwork was almost done in no time.
Just one step left: the school staff placed a Test Stone in front of Keti and requested:
“Test your Magic Talent level, then fill it in on the form.”
“Uh…Ah, ah, this……………D-Do I have to?”
At the mention of Magic Talent, the silver-haired beauty started trembling with PTSD, anxiety rising in her heart, even feeling the urge to back out……………..
But…gulp, after a moment, she still couldn’t bear to give up this hard-won opportunity, even if…it was just for a Teaching Assistant.
So she took a deep breath and put her hand on the stone.
That talent test had been years ago.
After all this time, she should, she should be able to……………..
“Talent: D!”
The cold broadcast voice echoed, making Keti’s mouth twitch.
Ah…
As expected, it hadn’t changed at all.
Ahem, but actually, the girl knew that was just her own wishful thinking.
In truth, Magic Talent—well, Talent is Talent.
It’s basically determined at birth and never changes in a lifetime.
As for the girl’s D-Rank Magic Talent, the staff member in front of her seemed surprised, too.
He looked up in shock at Keti, his eyes showing a bit of disbelief……………..
But, after glancing at Lynn beside Keti for confirmation, he immediately turned back, didn’t say another word, and lightning-fast wrote a “D” on her employment form, stamping it right away!
“Alright, Teacher Keti, from today on, you’re officially a Teaching Assistant at the Magic Academy. Wishing you all the best in your future.”
All the best where?
Why did Keti feel like she was about to explode on her very first day?
After finishing the paperwork, Lynn suggested taking Keti for a walk around the school’s Teaching Building to get familiar with the class she’d be assisting.
Keti didn’t really want to go.
After all…she’d studied in that building before, what was there to get familiar with?
She knew it like the RE…….
Because of what just happened, sigh, she’d almost forgotten about that whole incident, but…as expected, those four words mattered most in this school.
Feeling gloomy, Keti wanted to find someone to talk with, so…even though she didn’t want to walk around with her archrival, she still followed along.
“Hey…Lynn, I, I just remembered something. Say, do you think… if I teach here, is it really okay to keep using the name Keti? I saw the employment form uses my real name, but…after all, I caused such a big scene back then…”
“…………”
When she brought up how she’d beaten him up back then, Lynn actually seemed pretty happy.
Keti was speechless, and after a moment, she heard him say: “Don’t worry. Your old classmates all graduated long ago. The legend you left at school is just that a student once beat up Teacher Lynn.”
“No one remembers your name. Besides, using a fake name is inconvenient, right? If a student calls you and you forget your alias, you might not even respond. That wouldn’t be good, would it…”
“Ah…I see…”
Keti thought about it and realized it made sense.
But…why did she feel a little disappointed hearing that her legend at school didn’t include her name?
And…it still didn’t get to the point the silver-haired beauty was truly worried about.
Actually…at this very moment, Keti was trying to ask in a roundabout way…
“Alright, but…is D-level Magic Talent really enough to qualify as a Teaching Assistant? Can I really do this job well…?”
“Oh, that…Hmph, don’t worry, Keti. Sometimes things are…”
Lynn grinned mischievously, then leaned in close, his hand suddenly and restlessly wrapping around the girl’s waist.
“Much easier than you think…”
