So frustrating, heheh—!
At night, inside the dormitory Miss Keti let out a long sigh, her mind restless and irritated, making it impossible for her to fall asleep.
She tossed and turned on the bed, and the mental torment was unbearable.
This is…seriously killing me.
The silver-haired beauty shook her head helplessly.
Honestly, even when she had trouble managing the class discipline last week, she hadn’t felt this anxious.
But now…
Today, the class situation finally improved, and she hadn’t even had the chance to enjoy a full day of happiness or get a proper night’s sleep before receiving Richard’s absurd demand.
Thinking back, last week she was only worried about not getting enough Teaching Points and not becoming a full-time teacher.
But now, she was suddenly facing the risk of losing her job—who could hold under such pressure?!
They actually want her to lead the students into the Nation of Beasts Instance.
If it were some other dungeon or instance, maybe it would be manageable since Miss Keti wasn’t fully sure about the difficulty.
But…
The Nation of Beasts—that’s the same instance she just recently went through with Alice, Layla, and Sylvia.
Well…although she left the team before they fought the Final Boss, she was at least very familiar with the earlier stages.
This was absolutely not an easy instance.
Among all the dungeons she’d been through, the difficulty here was on the higher end.
Even fighting alongside those three genius girls was a tough challenge.
Let alone…
Now she had to lead a bunch of fifteen- and sixteen-year-olds and be responsible for their safety!
Isn’t this asking way too much of her?
Putting aside the students’ lack of practical experience, just their individual strength alone—there probably aren’t many who could be considered capable fighters.
How is this any different from her running the instance solo?
No…the real problem is having to protect the students’ safety on top of that.
That makes it even more impossible.
Back then… Alice disliked always needing her protection, which was why she made Miss Keti leave the team.
Ugh…
This is just too hard!
The silver-haired girl felt like she had no words to express her pain.
To her, the so-called Practical Test this Thursday was simply an impossible mission.
But if she failed, she’d be fired…
Click.
What kind of logic is this?
Miss Keti hadn’t heard of any other teaching assistant facing such a brutal test.
Isn’t this just intentionally making things difficult for her?
But…
What exactly did she do wrong?
She thought hard but couldn’t figure it out.
She hadn’t offended Richard, right?
Why would he single her out?
Could it be because a student’s parent came to the school?
But Lynn already helped her resolve that.
Not to mention the student’s parent even politely apologized to her.
This makes no sense.
She didn’t cause any trouble for him, so why this?
Besides, after saying what he had during the day, that guy just turned and left without giving her a chance to discuss anything…
And now…
Now the pressure is off the charts!
So frustrating, so frustrating, I can’t sleep aaaaah!
After a long while, Miss Keti finally sighed again and shook her head.
No matter what, that test was still two days away.
She needed to calm down first, then prepare.
She could also talk to Lord Lynn for some help…
Ah…
Why is it always Lynn!?
After a moment, the silver-haired girl rubbed her temples in frustration.
It really felt like her life these days was filled with Lynn—always encountering her rival, time and again.
Why…why was she so useless?
Always needing to ask that guy for help.
Last time, because she troubled him, he bullied her into becoming a Catgirl…
The memory of that time flashed involuntarily in her mind.
It triggered a sort of conditioned reflex that made her breath quicken without her realizing it…
A faint, suppressed flutter stirred inside her heart, making her cheeks flush…
But after a moment, Miss Keti suddenly seemed to realize something.
Eh?
This…peculiar feeling of embarrassment seems to actually ease the anxiety inside?
Hiss.
Upon discovering this strange phenomenon, the silver-haired girl, tormented by insomnia, was stunned!
Then… a bold idea emerged in her mind.
If her brain could suddenly be filled entirely with this strange embarrassment, maybe she could temporarily forget the damn Practical Test…
And fall asleep successfully?!
Sounds…possible, actually!
Cough, cough…
As for how to fill her mind with embarrassment…
Hmm.
After hesitating for a moment, Miss Keti’s cheeks flushed a deeper red…
This kind of thing doesn’t really need much explanation, right?
Of course, it’s that—that one!
Come to think of it, ever since she became a girl, she never actually experimented with it.
It should feel…different from when she was a boy, right?
Try?
Gulp…maybe, since she’d have to change back sooner or later anyway, she could take this rare chance to try…
To forget those damned worries.
Her resolve wavered.
What should have been a firm refusal to something so embarrassing now felt less rigid.
Recalling that day at the restaurant with her rival, Miss Keti couldn’t help but feel her mouth dry and a strange urge rising.
Ahhh!
No, no, whatever, just try once.
It’s just herself alone; no one will find out!
This must be what they call…
The flight-to-sleep method!
Well then, no more talking, um…
Take off, meow!
With that thought, after a moment…
The girl began the magical vehicle’s license exam.
Even though it was her first time, she was surprisingly adept.
Miss Keti swore she hadn’t peeked at how Alice and the others studied.
It was just…
She had felt something off back at the restaurant!
When her rival teased her, her mind felt foggy, her thoughts sluggish.
The main reason wasn’t because her willpower was weak, but…
Because of objective factors holding her back!
S-so strange…
It’s definitely not her fault.
It’s this body.
Could it be that the potion had some side effects?
Maybe…maybe it didn’t just turn her into an ordinary girl?
Gradually, in the dark room, Miss Keti took a deep breath.
The restless mood struck again.
But this time, the cause was…
A bit of boredom.
Usually, in these situations, there should be a fantasy partner, right?
And if it’s her…Layla, Sylvia?
The images of her former teammates flickered past.
But…she didn’t seem able to find satisfaction in their forms.
So after a while, an image she didn’t want to admit slowly appeared in her mind…
“Gulp…ah~ L-Lynn~ don’t…”
“Mm~ I’m here, little kitty~”
