Although he intended to tease Keti a little, Lynn didn’t go overboard.
After a subtle and barely noticeable teasing, he took out a Mana Potion and fed it to the girl.
Ha… ha… ha…
“Alive, I’m alive,” the silver-haired beauty sighed in relief, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. “Thank goodness… you’re letting me off…”
Meanwhile, the two girls who were completely stunned hadn’t yet reacted further when Keti’s students suddenly came running back.
Hearing that the final BOSS had been defeated by Teacher Keti, every student’s eyes sparkled with admiration as they quickly surrounded her, concern and excitement filling the air.
“Teacher Keti, did you really defeat the BOSS all by yourself? That’s… that’s incredible!”
“Ugh… Teacher, I admit I didn’t pay attention in class before. Can you count me in for the credit on clearing the dungeon this time?”
“Amazing! Haha, I haven’t even graduated from the Magic Academy yet, but I can already put on my resume that I cleared a high-level dungeon! Teacher Keti is the best~!”
“I never expected our loli homeroom teacher to be so powerful! Oh, this class is something special, I’m officially a solo fan of Teacher Keti~! Don’t even try to compete with me!”
“Are you kidding? I’ve been a solo fan for ten years! Hey, wait… why do I feel like two pairs of eyes are staring right at my back? So creepy…”
“Uh… e-everyone.”
Looking around at the students gathered around her, Keti was touched for a moment.
From the unruly bunch they once were, the silver-haired beauty felt they had all turned into little angels, and a soft ‘woo~’ escaped her lips.
Her hard work hadn’t been in vain. Relieved by this thought, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and softly said:
“Everyone did really well today. Teacher is happy. I hope you all listened carefully to yesterday’s lecture.”
“Hm~ Since you’ve been such good students, maybe Teacher Keti should reward you all~? Like… granting one wish each… For example, does anyone want to see Teacher Keti wear the teacher’s OL uniform?”
“Eh eh eh?!”
Before Keti could finish, her archrival suddenly interrupted.
The silver-haired girl blinked, utterly confused. N-no, that’s totally your own wish, though!
But as soon as the words left her mouth, several students enthusiastically backed the idea—more than she expected.
Both boys and girls, now transformed into loyal fans of Keti, excitedly cheered for their idol to do more:
“Yay! That’s it, that’s it!”
“I want to see Teacher Keti in black stockings, uu~ And high heels with red soles! S-h-h, s-h-h!”
“I actually think a JK uniform suits Teacher Keti better, since she’s a loli teacher after all~”
“Anything she wears is fine, really! Even the daily boyish look Teacher Keti has now is quite charming, nya~”
Listening to the increasingly enthusiastic discussion, the silver-haired beauty became more and more flustered.
After a moment, she shook her head and looked at her rival with a helpless expression.
“Um… did you hear that, Teacher Keti~? This is the students’ unanimous petition! You wouldn’t want to disappoint them, right? Pfft… everyone will be supervising Teacher Keti’s outfits every day~ We must make Teacher Keti cute~”
“Yeah~!”
Hey hey hey! No, seriously!
Hearing the chorus of agreement, Keti gradually realized how difficult it would be to say no.
This… this… this sounds like it’s already decided that I’m staying!
Gulp…
At that moment, the silver-haired beauty even wished that Director Richard would be a little tougher and just fire her outright—though, cough cough, preferably with a generous severance package.
Gulp.
Still, Keti wasn’t confident in her heart.
***
After a moment, she nervously turned her head, and all eyes followed her to look at Director Richard.
“Our practical test should end here, right, Director Richard? Miss Keti has already defeated the dungeon BOSS alone… Doesn’t that prove her capability to be a Magic Academy teacher?”
Lynn sneered as he looked at Richard and asked.
On the other side, the man in the suit and glasses took a deep breath and clenched his fists in frustration.
Despite this, the ironclad fact was right in front of them, and with so many students watching, Richard could only turn his back and walk toward the dungeon exit after a moment.
“Keti… you passed the practical test. You’ll receive 500 special teaching points and a three-day Paid Vacation. I’ll arrange for substitute teachers. Students, return to school to continue your classes.”
“Ah…”
Upon hearing there would be classes—and that they wouldn’t see Teacher Keti for three days—the students who had just been cheering erupted into a chorus of groans.
The silver-haired girl, now with her teaching points and vacation, turned her head and flashed a triumphant smile at her rival, as if saying, “See? I did it~?”
Her rival smiled back without spoiling the mood.
At last, everything had settled.
Well… to be honest, it really was thanks to the meat shield fortress her rival provided.
Finally… a vacation!
After Richard left first, the remaining students followed the director away.
Keti practically started her Paid Vacation right on the spot.
The already exhausted girl only had thoughts of going home and lying down.
However… even after replenishing her mana, Keti still felt her legs weak.
She was so worn out she could barely walk back from the dungeon.
Deliberately lingering a bit, waiting for all the students to leave, she then patted her rival’s shoulder, blushing as she quietly complained:
“I can’t walk anymore, ugh… it’s all your fault! Take me… p-please don’t leave me here!”
“Hm~? Don’t worry, I’m not about to leave you behind. So… little kitty, how do you want me to carry you? A princess carry~?”
“Gulp… of course not! Hah… just carry me on your back! And no resting your hands on my butt! No resting them on my thighs either! Ugh… that’s it, I have something to tell you…”
“Alright!”
Hearing that only a back carry was allowed, her rival’s eyes flickered with a trace of disappointment but still nodded.
Hey, why the disappointment?!
Ugh… no boy could stand a princess carry anyway!
Climbing onto her rival’s back and gripping his shoulders, she sighed after a moment and said:
“The test’s over, and I should tell you… actually… I’ve already been discovered by Layla and Sylvia.”
