Chapter 25: There are conditions~

Are you hearing this? 

Is this guy even speaking human language?!

Facing Lynn’s suggestion, Keti was utterly speechless.

Although this guy’s so-called suggestion sounded pretty satisfying, still, you can’t just ignore the actual situation, right?

“I’d love to! Especially that brat Ximon, I wish I could pin him to the ground and give him a good beating…Tsk, but no, I don’t dare! These students, my goodness, every one of them is a little prince or princess, and all their parents are Nobility.”

“If I really beat them up, who knows, maybe the President of the Chamber of Commerce will show up at school tomorrow to cause trouble for me. Then, if the parents strongly demand my dismissal, you…you won’t be able to protect me either, right? After all, you’re just an ordinary Teacher…”

The silver-haired beauty pouted in annoyance, then quietly lowered her head, looking a little dejected.

Sigh… 

Looks like even my archrival doesn’t have any good ideas…

Not a single useful suggestion, just keeps teasing me about things from back then, treating me like a fool. 

How could I possibly fall for that?!

It’s over, isn’t it? 

My career won’t really end just as it’s beginning, will it?

Poor Lucy—!

Pfft.

Looking at the troubled expression of the silver-shaded kitten in front of him, Lynn suddenly felt a huge sense of satisfaction~

So cute~!

She was adorable when angry, but now, bullied to the verge of tears, she’s even cuter~

Especially remembering how stubborn she used to be—tsk tsk tsk~

I really like these proud little ones~

Still, for the sake of her mental health, I shouldn’t tease her too much. 

Better come up with a real solution for her~

A moment later, Keti suddenly narrowed her eyes, sensing the playful, mischievous smile curling at her archrival’s lips.

Her wary mind instantly realized—there’s something fishy going on here…

Hiss… 

Don’t tell me, what he said just now…

Was he serious?!

Wait, what?!

“You…you don’t usually punish students physically, do you? Lynn, don’t tell me you’re hiding some kind of…secret method for disciplining students?”

The silver-haired beauty stammered, suddenly feeling a cold sweat break out down her back.

Even though she wasn’t a Student anymore, she couldn’t help but imagine herself in that situation.

She lowered her voice, looking at Lynn with extreme caution, as if they were discussing something illegal—well, it’s certainly not very glorious.

Her mind started conjuring up all sorts of wild scenarios, like…using some kind of magic to control the strength, so you could make the Student hurt without leaving any marks, and even if the Parent came to complain, there’d be no evidence?

Or maybe, this guy would strip the punished Student naked and use a Projection Stone to record their naked body as blackmail or something…

OF……

That’s…that’s so perverted—!

In an instant, Keti’s gaze toward her archrival changed completely, from pitifully seeking help to looking at him like a criminal!

No, no, I absolutely can’t go along with this guy, that’s a crime, a total crime!

So, right away, the girl smacked away the big hand her archrival had placed on her head.

Grr… 

Who, who told you to touch me! 

I have to draw a clear line between me and Lynn—draw a clear line!

Just, just don’t drag me down with you if you get caught!

Seeing the look of disgust on her face, Lynn’s mouth twitched uncontrollably…

Hey, hey, what kind of wild fantasies are you having? 

Am I really that bad in your eyes?

Lynn sighed helplessly, then waved his hand and explained:

“There’s a way, but it’s not as scary as you think. I just happen to have a really amazing tool. Look, this—Amnesia Bell. As long as you ring this bell, you can instantly erase a certain obsession in a person’s mind.”

“So…every time a Parent comes to school to give me trouble, I just ring the bell, they forget everything on the spot, and won’t pursue the matter anymore~”

“Ve…!?!”

Looking at the little bell her archrival suddenly pulled out, Keti’s eyes lit up.

Wait, seriously? 

There’s something this good?!

Hmm…

Wait, is he just messing with me again?

This thing looks pretty ordinary… 

Is it really that amazing?

After a while, seeing the skeptical look on the girl’s face, Lynn sighed again, then handed the bell to her.

The moment she took it, she immediately felt a powerful magical energy pulsing from it!

She took a deep breath, then blinked excitedly!

Wow, it really does seem amazing! 

This thing…grr, maybe he really wasn’t lying, this is a treasure~!

She immediately cupped the bell, about to give it a shake in front of herself to test it out.

Lynn quickly stopped her, then…coughed awkwardly before explaining:

“Don’t use it carelessly! This thing has a limited number of uses. Plus, if you use it on yourself, it might erase any obsession at all. What if…it wipes out your desire to turn back into a boy…”

Hearing that, Keti hurriedly tossed the bell back to Lynn. 

No, no…it has such a scary effect?

Forget it, better not try it so recklessly~

Still, cough cough, with this, I really could discipline some disobedient Students.

Even though the girl didn’t think it was the best solution, at least it gave her a rough, but workable, path forward.

Phew~

Thinking of this, the silver-haired beauty felt a strange surge of emotion in her heart.

Wow… 

I never thought that I…have already become friends with Lynn? 

He’s actually helped me so much, hmm…

If that’s the case…

“Ahem, Lynn, I have one more favor to ask! That is, um…could you advance me three thousand coins of salary first? I…I need it urgently!”

Yeah, the girl still needed to scrape together rent to redeem her Hand Chain!

She’d almost forgotten about it… 

Even if she wasn’t in a hurry to go home, that Hand Chain was still crucial for proving her identity right now, so she had to buy it back.

The girl looked at Lynn expectantly.

This guy’s been so good to her, he’d definitely help her out generously, right?

Hehehe… 

Is it because I look so cute now?

Ah… 

I feel a little embarrassed, but I’ve decided, from now on, I’ll treat Lynn as a real buddy!

Just as the girl was brimming with joy, the next second, Lynn chuckled softly, then narrowed his eyes and spoke gently: “You’re so greedy, little kitten, but…don’t get too happy yet. I haven’t told you my conditions~”

Eh?!
