…Mistake, really? When did that even happen?
Although Su Wanli had been gazing out the window, pretending she had no interest in Meng Wange at all, her ears had never stopped listening to Meng Wange’s Self-Introduction at the podium.
…Tsk, physics awards, mathematics awards, over a dozen foreign languages…
Well, those are already impressive enough—maybe it’s just the female protagonist’s time management skills. But how is she even a Level 2 athlete in track and field?
Clearly, when she first met Meng Wange, she seemed so delicate and frail. Su Wanli had thought Meng Wange was the typical sickly genius, a fragile little white flower.
But then again, yesterday during their tutoring session, Meng Wange’s strength really was much greater than she’d imagined…
After Meng Wange finished her long list, the classmates’ reactions varied. Some were shocked, some didn’t care, and some looked at her with a hint of displeasure. But without exception, they all shifted their attention back to Meng Wange herself.
No, after noticing Meng Wange’s completely undisguised gaze toward Su Wanli, they all turned to look at the young lady sitting in the last row of the classroom.
“…So that’s how it is. Sujia spends so much money on charity every year, but I’ve never seen them actually bring an orphan home.”
“No wonder it’s the Sujia—even the Assistants for their young lady have to be so meticulously selected…”
“So envious. I wonder if my family could arrange something like that for me…”
“…But why does Su Wanli look like she doesn’t know anything about this?”
“Ahem, cough…”
Su Xiaoli quickly coughed twice, trying to wipe the surprised look from her face.
Seriously, Meng Wange has so many titles and accolades, but when they met, she never mentioned them in detail. Now she had to be shocked along with these students.
She turned her head back toward the window, scoffing disdainfully, then snapped her fingers lightly with her right hand—
“…Heh, that’s more like it. Since you’re my personal Assistant, and also the Strategist for the future Head of the Su Family, you’d better be at this level. Come, sit down.”
“Yes, Miss Su.”
Meng Wange turned around, erased all those titles from the blackboard with the eraser, then stepped down from the podium and walked toward Su Wanli’s side.
…Whew, as expected of herself. Even if she was still feeling a bit upset inside, she hadn’t forgotten to complete the Task assigned by the System.
—First, she skillfully blended the words “female Buddha” into the list of titles like “Strategist, Assistant, Housekeeper,” then naturally inserted “no background or money” into a rhetorical question. Finally, with a “You’re not allowed to return to the Sujia unless you introduce yourself properly” threat, she cleverly revealed that Meng Wange was currently living at the Sujia.
Looks like her talent for quick thinking was on par with Meng Wange’s after all, huh…
Before Su Xiaoli could let a proud smile slip onto her face, the System quietly reminded her in her ear—
[Host, it seems you missed one entry. The phrase ‘Qualification’ hasn’t been conveyed yet.]
Su Wanli’s smile instantly froze on her face.
…Why didn’t you remind me earlier! I knew I was forgetting something!
Great, now. The System hadn’t said a word during that perfect opportunity, and now Meng Wange had already left the podium, looking like the Self-Introduction was finally over!
Even if she stood up now and said something like, “As my maid, you have the Qualification to stand in Baiying Academy,” it would just seem really dumb!
[It’s only about expressing those words. Also, the real intention of this Main Mission isn’t for you to say those things to the heroine, but to say them to the classmates, right?]
Say it…to the classmates?
That’s right—after all, spreading rumors and shaming people is rarely said directly to the person, but rather to those around them.
There was no time to overthink it. Meng Wange was about to reach her side, and the teacher had already opened the textbook at the podium.
Su Wanli braced herself, stood up, and silently swept her gaze around the classroom, meeting those confused eyes.
Now, how should she say it? How could she make it sound reasonable and not abrupt?
…Since she’d just put on such an act of encouraging Meng Wange to show herself and not embarrass the Sujia, she might as well keep up that proud demeanor.
As Meng Wange was about to walk past her, Su Wanli hesitated for a moment, but still placed her hand on Meng Wange’s shoulder.
“Did everyone understand? Since Meng Wange is my exclusive maid, that also makes her one of our Sujia. That’s why she has the Qualification to stand in this academy, and in this classroom.”
Wherever Su Xiaoli’s gaze landed, everyone nodded, some more, some less.
At the same time, Meng Wange gently supported Su Wanli’s hand on her shoulder, then used her other hand to straighten the chair Su Wanli had knocked askew, placing her schoolbag on the desk next to Su Wanli’s.
[Congratulations to the Host for successfully completing today’s second Main Mission: Collapsing Self-Introduction.]
[Faced with Meng Wange’s humble and concise Self-Introduction, you responded on the spot. With just a few words, you forced Meng Wange to expose all her cards and made her arrogant attitude earn countless enemies in the classroom. As expected of you.]
[Villainess Acting Skill: Exquisite]
[Rewards will be settled together after the series of Missions is completed.]
“…Ahaha, since Meng Wange has already chosen her seat, today’s Self-Introduction session ends here. Next, everyone can turn to page twenty-three in your textbooks—”
Liu Laoshi explained with a forced smile, quietly turning around to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Whew, that was scary. I thought something big was going to happen again today. Last time, Su Wanli’s punishment for breaking the blackboard was waived, but who knows about next time…
Maybe the other students didn’t know, but Xiaohua Teacher certainly did. Meng Wange really was the Transfer Student personally appointed by the Head of the Su Family, Su Heng. He’d even specifically instructed that she and Su Wanli be transferred into the same class and, if possible, sit together.
The Homeroom Teacher had even patted his own shoulder back then, saying the future Missions would be extremely challenging, but he believed he could persevere, and once these two years passed, he’d find a way to get an early promotion.
With such generous rewards, Liu Xiaohua had thought the new Transfer Student would be another top troublemaker like Su Wanli. But if what Meng Wange just said was true, then she was actually a top student.
Although having a good student like this in the class was a good thing it might even lead the whole class in a better direction—but, but! Still!
Watching Meng Wange’s Self-Introduction up close, Liu Xiaohua could tell after just a few words—
The way Meng Wange looked at Su Wanli was even more full of longing and excitement than he’d ever looked at an idol at a concert.
So, who would lead whom in the future was still up in the air.
It looked like his teaching career wasn’t going to be so smooth…
Oh well, at least it couldn’t be worse than last year. Those students who wanted to nap could nap, those who wanted to half-listen could half-listen.
Before, it was hard to find even one student who’d stand up and answer questions in class. Now, at least there was one obedient, good student…
Comforting himself in this way, Xiaohua Teacher turned his back to the students and quietly wrote the lesson title for this period on the spotless blackboard.
