Chapter 94 Classroom
Idelia didn't know whether she was too easy to coax, or whether Elhesen, who never gave her any face, was too devastating when he finally said something nice. In any case, she couldn't get angry at all now.
But seeing how he immediately looked away after he finished speaking, she was still a little unconvinced. She puffed out her cheeks, glared at him, and moved to the side in a huff.
However, she only moved her upper body; her buttocks remained firmly stuck to the seat, clearly still shaken by the experience of almost having her seat taken when she returned from getting some fresh air in the library.
Al-Hysen saw right through her inner turmoil, and silently propped his chin on his hand, wondering how long it would be before she came to talk to him again.
He guessed it wouldn't be long, maybe just one class period, and after that class, she would pester him again, insisting on going to the library with him.
However, things often take unexpected turns. For example, just as he was about to take a rare break in peace and quiet, his elbow was suddenly bumped.
Elhesen: ?
He looked at the guy who was still turning his head away, only showing him a small part of his face in confusion.
When he looked over, Idelia met his gaze without a hint of guilt, remaining as calm as if she hadn't just bothered him.
After a long silence, El-Hysen finally said, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be three years older than me."
Al-Hysen was a bright boy and started school earlier than most, so although the two were only one grade apart, they were three years apart in age.
Although Idelia felt that she was still in her early twenties and in the prime of her life, hearing him say that made her feel inexplicably like an old cow eating young grass—
No, no, she hasn't even started eating the grass yet, how can she be feeling guilty now!
Idelia snorted, finally adopting the arrogant demeanor she had when they first met, and stopped doing the childish things she had just done.
El-Heinz squinted, inexplicably distrustful.
Taking advantage of the school bell drowning out the noise, Idelia leaned close to him and whispered, "Hey, what's with that expression? I'm not really a three-year-old, I'm not that childish!"
Al-Hysen pretended not to hear.
Even though she is well past the age of adulthood, Idelia's behavior makes it hard to believe that she is reliable.
His expression was practically written all over his face, which made Idelia angry again. She decided to show this guy what it meant to be a senior student.
She sat up straight, adopting the most upright posture, and listened attentively.
Although she was always unreliable, she was a well-known good student after all, so Alhesen decided to trust her serious attitude towards learning for the time being and stop paying attention to her and instead concentrate on listening to the lecture.
...To be honest, it's a bit boring.
Al-Hysen lowered his eyes and put down his hand, which he had been about to take notes.
The teacher mostly talked about content that was already in the textbooks, and the few examples he gave were ones that he had also seen in books from the Wisdom Palace.
But he had a very good memory; he could recall the next sentence almost as soon as the teacher said the previous one.
There's absolutely no need to listen.
El-Hysen began to consider whether he should go to the sage and ask to skip another level after completing today's trial lesson.
Before he could come to a conclusion, his arm was touched again.
God knows, Idelia really didn't do it on purpose this time. She just... just fell asleep. After all, she only slept for four hours last night.
She wanted to choose an exquisite and complex dish for Elhesen's breakfast that would impress anyone at first glance, so she got up very early, but unfortunately she didn't have the skill, wasting both time and money.
Although sandwiches look simple and can be made in no time, they were actually a choice Idelia was forced to make after wasting countless ingredients.
Add to that her staying up all night studying that book, "How to Win Over Your Crush," and even someone made of iron couldn't withstand it, let alone someone who's already a bit delicate.
She was originally holding back her anger and planned to give Al-Hysen a piece of her mind during class, but unfortunately, she had already studied what the teacher was going to say on her own, so she couldn't learn anything useful no matter how many times she listened.
Aside from daydreaming, Idelia had nothing to do.
Ironically, it's when you're spacing out that you're most likely to fall asleep. Before she knew it, she had fallen asleep, and her body involuntarily leaned towards the person next to her.
Unfortunately, Elhesen was the one who was relied upon.
Even more unfortunately, Al-Hysen was not a man who would show mercy to women.
Without much hesitation, he simply reached out and woke the person up.
Idelia's expression still carried a hint of sleepiness as she subconsciously yawned and whispered a question to him about what was wrong.
Seeing her leaning comfortably on his shoulder, Elhesen fell silent.
"Sit still." That was the last thing he said.
Idelia obediently did as she was told.
Some unusual behavior caught Al-Hysen's attention.
He probably guessed what was going on, and looked at her with an air of nonchalance.
As expected, Idelia's composure didn't last long. When the last bit of drowsiness completely disappeared, she belatedly realized what had just happened.
Her face flushed bright red, and Idelia felt that her dignity as a senior student had been completely shattered.
Didn't we agree to listen attentively in class? How did she suddenly fall asleep?
Idelia was extremely flustered, clutching the hem of her clothes in her hands and kneading it repeatedly. Elhesen had no doubt that if it weren't for class time, she would have jumped up and run away.
Because of this incident, Idelia didn't dare to bother him all day, quietly following behind him as he changed classrooms, like a ghost haunting him.
Al-Hysen was amused by the analogy, a smile playing on his lips, and he was intrigued to see how long it would take Idelia to recover from this embarrassment.
As it turns out, this guy's emotional regulation skills were pretty good, and he came over again when school was over.
However, perhaps because she hadn't spoken much to him all day, Idelia tried to ease the awkwardness by starting with a question: "What's wrong? How was your day with classes?"
"Does being bored count?" Elhesen replied truthfully.
He initially thought it was just a problem with the teacher's personal ability in the first lesson, but after a full day of trial classes, he realized the current state of teaching in the entire Cause Theory school. To put it simply, it was very unsuitable for him.
He guessed that Idelia probably felt the same way, otherwise she wouldn't have never even looked up during class.
Idelia had expected this: "I guessed so. After all, when I last saw you, you had already read so far in your studies. What I'm talking about today probably doesn't even count as a review for you."
She thought for a moment and suggested, "How about this, I recommend a few suitable books for you? Don't worry, I'm very experienced, and the ones I pick will definitely meet your needs!"
Al-Hysen certainly wouldn't refuse such a proposal that would be advantageous to him.
Seeing that he agreed, Idelia suddenly had a mischievous idea, and smiled slyly: "Although the Palace of Wisdom also has these books, it's always better to have knowledge in your own hands. How about we go out to buy books this weekend, and we can do some shopping together while we're at it?"
Looking into those bright, warm yellow eyes, Elhesen thought, she probably wasn't planning on giving him a chance to refuse.

The author says: I've changed the cover; it's an illustration from the chapter about eating breakfast a couple of days ago. I'm posting it here during the update break so everyone can take a look! But you might need to tilt your head a bit?
Hehe, I originally wanted to draw the scholar's hat of the Order of the Cadets, but after trying it, I found that it would block Hai Ge's smart grass, so I decided not to draw it in the end. But it's okay, wearing a uniform makes you a good kid!
