Chapter 89 [Entrance Ceremony] : Sophia Leoine



Chapter 89 [Entrance Ceremony] : Sophia Leoine

And just as he was about to start the fight, the door of the classroom opened, and Sophia came in.

Her gaze landed on the kneeling student on the floor, then towards Cardin, and finally towards me.

"Eden Morton, you lose 10 academic points," Sophia said, glaring at me as she moved towards the teacher's desk in front of the class.

"Huh?.., Why only me?" I asked, confused by her way of doing things. Since they started the fight, shouldn't they be punished as well?

"Because you broke someone's arm," she replied as she threw a healing potion towards Cardin.

"Why are you so sure I did that?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.

"Did you not?" she replied.

"I did, but—" I tried to argue, but she interrupted me.

"Then it's the end of the conversation. Please sit down," she said, folding her hands under her breast.

"Fine," I replied softly as I moved towards my seat. Cardin's other lackey was helping his friend as his wrist healed a little from the potion.

As soon as I looked back, I noticed Aron looking in a daze at Sophia—typical Harem protagonist behavior while looking at any beautiful girl.

Cassia was giving me a serious look; she's the only one who understood how little of my strength I have used right now.

Emily was looking at me with a blank expression. What's up with her?

As I sat down on my seat, I looked towards Sophia. She is a beautiful woman with a voluptuous, milf-like figure that screams elegance and authority. She had light blonde hair and dark brown eyes.

She was wearing a long black skirt with a white shirt that didn't hide her curves. At the age of 26, she is at Origin Level 8, which hails her as one of the best geniuses of her generation.

For reference, she is just a level lower than my shitty father, who is in his late forties, and yeah, I am not going to compare her with my mother; she is a monster in her own right.

Bringing me out of my thoughts were Sophia's words as she started speaking.

"Many of you may not know me, so I am going to introduce myself first." She said, her gaze looking at the faces of the students.

"My name is Sophia Leoine, with the title of marchioness, the head of the Leoine family." Her words brought multiple gasps from the students, mainly from the commoner students.

"And I will be the teacher responsible for the 'Osmium Class,' which means your class," she said as she waited for the students to register her words.

"Apart from your class, there are two more classes, namely, the 'Platinum Class' and the 'Cerium Class,' and don't mind the names; they are based on some rare minerals found in this world," she said as she picked up a marker, writing down the names of the classes on the white board hanging on the wall.

"Three classes per year. There are a total of nine classes in the academy, and one session is of three years," she said without turning back as she wrote down all the information.

"One class has around 75 nobles and 25 commoners in them, and here is a warning for all the noble boys," she turned back, her expression dead serious, "harass anyone of the commoner girls in any way, and I will make sure you pay for it."

She declared, her gaze moving throughout the class until... it landed on me?

"Am I clear?" she said, her eyes locked with mine. I didn't shy away, nor did I nod. Neither did I rebuke. I just looked at her, and at last, she was the one who moved her gaze.

I know my name is in every bad rumor, but seriously, she has known me since I was a kid, and being treated by her like this does feel a little bad.

"Anyway, there will be many events and occasions in which you will be working with the other classes and even against those classes. There will be competitions with the purpose of making everyone in the class grow stronger as time passes."

'What a joke,' I thought as I heard her words. She says that they are competitions, but I know better how this works.

They are made in a way that will give the stronger ones the advantage, making them more experienced and powerful, but the weaker students or those with shallow backgrounds are the ones who will have to suffer the most.

"And now to one of the most important things in the academy," Sophia said again as she wrote, "Academic points."

"Every student gets ten academic points in the beginning, and if you are wondering what it is, let me tell you. The academic points are something that every teacher can assign or deduct from the students in their class.

They can do it based on your exam marks, your behavior, and the activities that you perform in your academic year. You will also get a bonus if you join any of the two organizations of our academy, which are the Student Council and the Management Committee."

She gave a lengthy explanation that gave me an urge to skip this part.... Wait, I can't do that...

Anyway, I don't give a damn about this, as I am not here to be a model student.

Now, if I remember correctly, Aron and Cassia joined the management committee, Emily joined the Student Council, and so did Aeloria. But now I am not sure about her; she is like an anomaly, just like me, whose movements I can't predict.

"Hmm?" I looked to my left as I felt someone poking at my side.

Emily leaned in, bringing her face towards my ears as she whispered, "Are you really the Eden from the rumors?"

"What rumors?" I asked, looking curiously at her.

"The one about you being 'The fallen genius'," she said, her voice still being a whisper.

"I am still a genius," I replied with a slight smile. I still don't understand her behavior.

I was 100 percent sure that if she knew about me, she would definitely keep her distance from me, but it looks like I was wrong.

"Something you find funny, Eden?" Sophia said bring everyone's attention towards me, and like a scaredy cat, Emily moved back, creating distance between us.

"Eden!" As I was ignoring her, Sophia shouted.

Hah....Why me?

"Teacher," Fatima raised her hand, shifting her attention; a mischievous smile was on her face, and I wasn't feeling good about this.

"Yes, Miss Fatima."

"Everyone has this question in their mind but is afraid to ask, so I will voice it for them," she said as she looked at me. "What is Eden doing here?"

'She has always been like this,' I sighed as I thought about her. She is the daughter of the Duke, so we are like childhood friends, and ever since I've known her, she has been that kid who likes to stir up problems for everyone around her.

"That is the decision of the headmaster," Sophia replied as she gestured for her to sit down.

"Why?" This time, it was Cardin who asked.

"I don't know why," she replied.

"How could he even approve of this?" This time, it was some random extra who asked.

"You do not have the right to question his decision," Sophia said coldly as she glared at the student, who was now hiding himself.

"I know what you guys are thinking." Before anyone could interrupt again, I said, my voice enough to draw everyone's attention, "so why don't we ask the person you are trying to defend?"

Even though I didn't mention the name of the person, everyone understood who I was referring to as they focused on Angelina.

I looked towards Angelina, and she looked back at me. Her eyes carried a myriad of emotions, but her face remained stoic.

'I should use Aphrodite's bloodline on her,' I thought before voicing my words.

"Do you have any problem with me being here?"

"I cannot interfere with or change the decision of the headmaster. If he wills it, I can't say anything," she immediately replied, turning back to look in front as she nodded towards Sophia to continue.

"Anyway, next is your club activity, which your seniors will tell you more about." Sophia continued her introduction to the academy, giving details about what to do and what not to do.

Instead of listening to her, I placed my head on the desk, trying to take a quick nap.

*RINGGG*

Sophia only stopped after an hour as the bell for the end of the introduction class rang.

"That's enough for today," she said, placing the marker back on the desk. "Now, please move towards the main building where the Entrance Ceremony will be held."

"Finally," I mumbled as I stood up.

The first [Turning Point] is going to be happening soon, as well as the revelation of the [Main Antagonist] of the First Game.
