“Yes, it was Myrill’s fault.”
All the students agreed and sided with Nux.
Seeing this, Teacher Evane started believing it as well.
She could totally see Myrill losing control over his emotions and attacking Nux, he has done that before and had attacked many students.
However, using a lethal Skill and trying to kill a fellow student?
‘These students are getting a little too bold, aren’t they?
How dare he do something like that?’
Teacher Evane’s eyes turned cold.
She then bent down, grabbed Myrill’s ring and took a Healing potion out of it.
She was going to use her healing potion before, however, now, she decided against it.
Evane then shoved the healing potion into Myrill’s mouth. Then, she took out another potion from his ring and shoved it inside his mouth again.
Then another one, then another and another.
She continued doing it till he was out of potions.
To be honest, it looked like she was punishing him rather than saving him, of course, most of the students didn’t care about it.
“Will he be okay?” Suddenly, Nux walked forward and questioned with a worried look on his face.
“Huh? Are you worried about him?” Teacher Evane questioned with a frown on her face.
He of all people was worried about him?
Was he some sort of saint?
Teacher Evane was a little impressed by how good-hearted this student was.
“Of course not. Why would I be worried about someone who attacked me?”
However, Nux’s next after took away all that good impression he had unknowingly created.
“Then why are you asking me?” Teacher Evane questioned.
“Well, as long as he is alive, Marquee Alger should be able to protect me, however, if something happens to him, I don’t think that Earl Bourkee will let me go.
In the end, I am still a commoner after all.”
Nux muttered.
Teacher Evane’s smiled a little as she answered,
“Don’t worry, as long as you are in the Academy, Earl Bourkee won’t be able to do anything. And trust me, with your talent, when you leave the Academy, you will reach a level where someone like Bourkee won’t dare to touch you.
Heck, he might even come to you and apologize in his son’s stead.”
Nux however, just smiled wryly and muttered,
“Teacher Evane, you might fool a noble with words like that, however, I am someone who has seen and has gone through many hardships in this world. I know how the world works.
What if Earl Bourkee decided to send an assassin after me? What if I am killed before reaching that level?
The academy might protect their students who are alive, however, a dead student like me has no value to the academy.
As long as concrete proof isn’t provided, the academy won’t care about it.
And of course, since I am a commoner with no backing whatsoever, no one would ever try and search for clues if something happens to me.
Earl Bourkee would pretty much get out of this without a scratch.”
“…”
This time, Teacher Evane turned silent.
She knew how the world works as well and what Nux said, the chances of that happening are close to 100%
A serious look then appeared on Teacher Evane’s face as he muttered,
“Alright, pack your bag.”
“Huh?” Nux frowned.
“Just pack your bag, well, you don’t really need anything since everything should be in your storage ring.
After the class ends, you are coming with me.”
“Huh? Teacher Evane, what are you talking about?” Nux questioned with a confused look on his face.
“I’ll protect you.” Teacher Evane muttered with a serious look on her face.
“Teacher Evane?”
“What? You don’t believe me?”
“N-No, that’s not it.”
“Then stop complaining. The room next to mine is empty, from now on, you will be living there. This way, I can protect you in case Earl Bourkee tries something.”
“O-Oh! Thank you, Teacher Evane!”
Nux exclaimed with a big smile on his face.
Well, he would have been happier if he was allowed to live with Teacher Evane, instead of living next to her.
But oh well, something is better than nothing.
It was still progress.
Inwardly, Nux thanked his best friend Myrill for sacrificing himself for his sake.
Friends like Myrill are all one needs in his or her life.
“Don’t worry, it is my duty to protect my students.” Teacher Evane smiled, she then turned towards another student and requested.
“Jacob, can you please take him to the Medic?”
“Y-Yes, teacher.”
The student named Jacob stepped forward and picked Myrill up.
Nux then returned to his seat and the class continued after Jacob returned.
Of course, Nux ignored whatever was taught in the class, he would rather take private lessons.
He was sure that those will be much more interesting than whatever was happening here.
Right now, Nux just continued to look at Teacher Evane with a lost look on his face and waited for the class to end as soon as it is possible.
An hour later, the class finally ended and Teacher Evane turned towards Nux.
“Alright, Nux, come with me.”
“Yes Teacher.”
Nux was quick to leave his seat and rushed towards her with a big smile on his face.
The other boys in the class looked at him as their eyes shined in unconcealed jealousy.
‘Tsk Tsk, this bastard is just too lucky!’
‘Fuckk! Should I become a commoner as well?’
‘Living in a room next to Teacher Evane? Fuck! I will exchange half of my life to get this opportunity.’
“Nux you lucky bastard.”
One of the students couldn’t control himself and muttered out loud.
All the boys in the room nodded their heads in agreement.
As for the girls, they just didn’t understand why these boys were acting like this.
What has Nux done to them?
Why are they acting like he stole their most precious treasure?
“Maybe they are just jealous.” A girl muttered.
“Of what?” Another girl questioned.
“His handsome face?”
“Ahh, that could be the reason, most of the guys in our class do look like monkeys, so it’s natural that they are jealous.”
“Indeed.”
Hearing those words, the boys’ mouths twitched.
‘Nux you fucking bastard.’
