"Useless, a bunch of useless trash!"

"Is there not a single decent student in this class besides Elaine?"

"If the academy lets you graduate like this, it will only be harming you!"

"The excellent evaluation for today's class, apart from Elaine who truly deserved it, was all just lucky, pure pure chance for everyone else!"

"In the next class, I hope to see you narrow the gap between yourselves and Elaine, even by the smallest bit."

"Alright, dismissed!"

The old woman's departure finally brought this practical lesson, which felt like a dream, to an end.

Even so, most students still felt that they had not woken up.

Throughout the entire class, the old woman's unusually fantastical actions stunned everyone.

Many people thought that the old woman had suffered some kind of shock this time, and had developed some kind of hysteria that made her unable to recognize people, mistaking Elaine for someone else.

"Am I still asleep, or has the old woman gone mad?"

"An illusion! This must be a large-scale illusion!"

"The academy has been attacked by terrorists! Help!!"

After class, some people were panicked, some were stunned, and some looked at each other blankly.

Many people were secretly observing Elaine.

They all harbored the same ultimate question: "Is this right?"

Under the watchful eyes of her classmates, Elaine remained calm and slowly left the training field.

It has to be said that the old woman's differential treatment is something most people can't handle.

Good or bad, it's all the same.

The old woman's words in class gave Elaine goosebumps all over.

I don't know how Webber and his people could stand it on a normal day.

But I must say, the old lady was quite honest in today's lesson.

They provided excellent guidance to everyone in their teaching, and then conducted target practice. None of them left their posts, and they would occasionally check in on Elaine.

After Elaine met the excellent evaluation standard, no one dared to make things difficult for her; in fact, they praised her highly.

He blushed with embarrassment at being praised by Elaine.

The students were left bewildered and questioning their existence.

Some people were planning to report the unusual situation to the discipline director, but the old woman caught them and brought them back.

The class, which the students found absurd, ended just like that.

Elaine ran away from the training field and took Li En to find Melina.

Melina was about to go home after get off work, but Elaine's gossip kept her confined to the office.

"What? That old woman is also a commoner?" Melina exclaimed in surprise as she took out tea and snacks.

"They really gave that old woman a piece of their mind today, it can't be fake," Li En added from the side, though he didn't reveal his source.

"I didn't even know about this. Where did you find out?" Melina asked Li En curiously.

Li En raised his head high, closed his eyes, but showed no intention of answering.

Seeing Li En's smug look, Melina reached out and poked his butt: "What a smug little kitten."

Then, she abruptly changed the subject: "So, you want me to be your insurance agent?"

Knowing such a shocking piece of gossip, helping with such a small favor is naturally no problem.

Moreover, Melina had long disliked that old woman, and now that she had the secret to controlling her, she was secretly delighted.

"Don't worry, with me here, that old woman will never dare to touch you. Not only that, from today onwards, she will definitely protect your safety."

The two women could go on and on about gossip.

After finishing their business, Elaine and Melina talked about how the old woman had taken good care of her during the practical class that day.

Melina burst into laughter, completely disregarding her image.

Elaine had been tormented by the old woman for so long, but today she finally got her revenge and felt incredibly smug.

The thought of how the old woman would have to treat her that way from now on filled Elaine with a secret sense of satisfaction.

……

Early the next morning.

The old woman had a wrinkled, cold face, giving off an unapproachable vibe.

Both students and teachers consciously took a detour.

Just then, a figure walked against the flow of people toward the old woman.

"Mr. Flint."

At the old woman's insistence, her colleagues and teachers began to address her by her surname, instead of calling her by her first name like others.

"Is there something you need?" The old woman frowned deeply when she recognized Melina as the one who had called out to her.

Melina walked up to the old woman with a smile and began to communicate with her using her magical powers.

"Professor Flint, Elaine gave me something and told me to reveal it immediately if something happens to her. Although I don't know exactly what it is, I still think you need to know."

Upon hearing this, the old woman's expression changed.

She immediately gave Melina a wink, signaling her to come with her to a secluded place.

Melina was naturally not afraid of her, and the two quickly arrived at a corner of the school.

"Melina, are you going to help that commoner threaten the teacher?" the old woman said in a hostile tone.

"A threat? Could it be that Elaine has found something on Ms. Flint?" Melina feigned surprise, then declared righteously, "I'm so disappointed that Elaine would do such a thing! Professor Flint, don't worry, I'll report this to the academy immediately and have them thoroughly investigate. The academy will never allow a student to behave this way!"

After saying that, Melina turned to leave, making a gesture as if she was about to use a teleportation spell.

The old woman was so frightened that she quickly grabbed her.

"don't want!"

The old woman was so frightened that her voice became distorted.

"Professor Flint, what are you doing? Don't stop me. How can we teachers allow students to threaten us? Whatever it is, the academy will definitely uphold justice for you."

"Mr. Flint, don't be afraid!"

At that moment, Melina was like the embodiment of justice, her face filled with righteous indignation and disappointment in her students.

She portrayed such a complex expression with exquisite skill.

"No, it's nothing. It was a slip of the tongue. Teacher Melina, you don't need to take it to heart," the old woman forced a smile and explained.

If this gets out of hand, won't the whole academy know about it?

Will that old woman even live anymore?

"No, Professor Flint, I can tell you're having a problem, and I won't stand idly by!"

"Besides, Elaine has always been a student I have high hopes for. I can't let her go astray like this, threatening her teacher like this is simply outrageous!"

Seeing Melina standing up for her so fiercely, the old woman couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Are we that close?"

The old woman clearly remembered that she hadn't been very kind to Melina before.

Melina is young and a commoner who graduated from the Royal Magic Academy on a scholarship, so many people know about her commoner background.

The old woman therefore frequently made sarcastic remarks towards Melina.

Now that Melina is so proactive in helping her, the old woman can't help but question the meaning of life.

Was Melina always this upright?
