YM778.TV Chapter 47: The Professor is against me!
"So, my dear students, I would love to say it\'s a calm, peaceful, and simple class." Linnea began to recite lightly. "But we live in a complicated world, so you have three seconds to leave my room before the class starts." She said with a mischievous smile, but three seconds weren\'t much.
\'Okay, what\'s up with this weird teacher? Three seconds isn\'t even enough time to respond to you,\' Dante thought as he looked at the teacher\'s mischievous smile.
"Alright, three seconds have passed, so you agree with my actions, and if someone dies, it\'s solely your fault and your weakness." She said while clapping her hands together.
"Eh?" Some wondered, did they hear correctly?
"I knew." Dante said, and Sara nodded slightly. Well, who cares, right?
"Sit down, let\'s talk about plants." She said with a macabre smile on her face that even gave Dante a shiver down his spine.
Everyone began to sit in pairs as the tables were divided. Sara and Dante sat together because, aside from each other, they only knew Elizabeth Tapes, who disliked both of them, and Ethan Smith, who also seemed to have a dislike for both. So, they became table buddies.
"As I said, my name is Linnea Greenleaf, and I will be your teacher." She repeated her introduction and began to teach. The classroom atmosphere changed completely; now, she was a serious woman, with a slightly kind yet still robust look, as if she had changed personalities.
\'Another joker?\' Dante questioned himself as he looked at Linnea and turned to Sara. \'They do look alike.\'
"Can anyone tell me what Magical Herbology is?" Linnea said while holding a pot of a strange plant.
A girl at the back, the one with pink hair from before, raised her hand, and Linnea nodded. The girl then stood up.
"Magical Herbology is the art of studying the plants in our world. There are countless types of plants with various effects. Essentially, Magical Herbology is not only about cataloging but also identifying the actions of plants in our world!" She quickly responded. The girl was a very dedicated human.
"Oh, we have a herbology enthusiast here? What\'s your name, little one?" Professor Linnea asked curiously. The response was quite good.
"Harper Mitchell," she answered with a smile.
"A very good answer; I\'ll remember your name." "Yes, professor!" She quickly replied and sat down.
"As she said, that\'s exactly it. We focus on studying plants and their benefits to our society. But it\'s not just that; their use is also crucial. A practical example is potions that, over the years, have been invented. Diseases have decreased significantly, and currently, most basic illnesses, like the flu, have been completely cured," Linnea said, and many attentive looks began to appear.
She smiled slightly, thinking these kids wouldn\'t quickly grasp the benefits.
"There are various types of mystical plants. Could someone give me an example?" She said, looking directly at Dante, who realized it was meant for him. \'Ugh, is she already interested in me? I haven\'t done anything.\' Dante raised his hand, and she acknowledged him.
"Ghost Spider Lily, Thousand-Year Ginseng, Dragon\'s Tooth, Frost Lotus Flower, Golden Lotus Flower."
"Great references. Your name?" She said with a sly smile. "Dante Rider."
"Hmm, strange. How do you know about Dragon\'s Tooth? Only the best in the field have that information... hmm," she said with a slight smile, and Dante turned pale.
"DAMN IT! EVEN THE PROFESSOR IS ALREADY AGAINST ME!"
"COME ON, THINK FAST!"
"COME ON, DANTE!"
"OH! I KNOW!"
"I am well-versed in medicinal plants, and my tutor was involved in a matter related to this new variation," Dante said with a confident smile, but deep down, he was trembling with anger and fear of being found out.
Dragon\'s Tooth is a variant of Dandelion that has been nurtured with mana for over a hundred years, mainly growing in the corners of forests where the mana concentration is absurd. Compared to the common Dandelion, it\'s almost an offense; it is a thousand times more effective and was discovered just a year ago.
How did Dante know about this spice? Morgana showed him, after all, the White Tower was developing a magical solution based on Dragon\'s Tooth to rebuild the mana veins that pass near the central core. It was an extremely delicate research.
"Hmm, I see. Your tutor must be someone very important, isn\'t she, Little Dante?" She said as she prepared to move on to the next topic.
"DESPICABLE PROFESSOR! I\'LL SET YOU ON FIRE, YOU WEIRD GREEN PLANT!" Dante internally shouted, like a furious dragon\'s roar. He was very angry.
"Yes, she is," he answered gently, but Sara, who was beginning to notice Dante\'s reactions, was about to burst into laughter because she knew his secret.
"TO THINK I WAS WORRIED ABOUT THIS GIGOLO. HE\'S EVEN A TARGET FOR THE TEACHER! Hahaha!" Like an evil mind, she laughed internally.
"If you laugh, I\'ll barbecue celestial virtue," Dante said, looking directly at the teacher.
"Sure, Mr. \'I have a tutor involved,\'" Sara mocked, making the boy even more irritated.
"Sara, I\'m going to kill you," Dante said, turning to see Sara\'s eyes, which were glued to him. When Sara realized, she saw only two abysses in his eyes, as if they were going to swallow her.
"Hey, stop looking at me like that."
"Dante, no side conversations!" Linnea said, and everyone instantly looked at Dante, who lowered his head with a huge vein almost popping out of his face.
\'I\'m going to kill you, you damn pointy-eared!\'
"Now, let\'s move on to the next topic," Linnea said, continuing to teach about the magical herbs and plants that this vast world has. Dante just stayed quiet, almost exploding with anger, and Sara just endured her urge to laugh after seeing her opponent totally defeated.
