Elysia and Evelyn followed closely behind Teacher Ruth and exited the hallway to one of the pavilions.
Teacher Ruth went to sit on the stool around a small round table in the pavilion, she gestured with a hand gesture to the two girls who had followed her to sit near her there.
Elysia and Evelyn sat next to Teacher Ruth without knowing what the teacher wanted so she called Elysia and wanted to talk personally.
"Teacher Ruth, is there anything I can do to help you?" Elysia asked with a smile on her face but behind that smile, there was a worry about herself being interrogated by the teacher.
"Yes, I called you personally because I was curious about something. Can you answer some of my questions honestly?" Teacher Ruth smiled kindly at the polite girl who was sitting near her.
Under these circumstances, Elysia is already adept at turning things around without breaking the norm of honesty, she doesn't mind answering a few questions if it's necessary.
"Sure, please ask and I'll answer them all like a good girl." Elysia nodded softly without loosening the smile on her face.
"That's perfect. I was wondering, are you really a commoner?" Teacher Ruth put her arms on the table and rested her cheeks against her intertwined hands while staring at Elysia.
Evelyn who only joined and had no role in the conversation became a little surprised, she looked at Elysia right beside her with a questioning look.
"Yes, I am an ordinary person." Elysia answered honestly but that honesty no one could believe it even if she had evidence for it, evidence that didn't exist and never existed to prove anything.
Teacher Ruth looked at Elysia with an incredulous face at that answer. "Is that so? You have a surname though? You dress gracefully though? Not to mention your aristocratic manners."
Elysia has realized that Teacher Ruth is not taking her words seriously, and she can only smile sweetly at Teacher Ruth's question of suspicion.
Unfortunately, the sweet smile from Elysia was taken as confirmation that her muttering of suspicion was correct. Teacher Ruth is curious because of the heated discussion that was held in the principal's room some time ago regarding Elysia.
The teachers only considered Elysia's fuzzy identity which was not too clear to be similar to the events that had happened several times in the past, even the best students who were currently in the eighth grade did the same thing as Elysia.
That student is actually from a royal family, but out of curiosity about the commoner, the student in question admitted to being a commoner before enrolling in this school and getting a platinum privilege card.
Although that student's identity has been justified and does not cause problems or change anything. Because of that, Teacher Ruth became curious about Elysia having a very precise story, just pure curiosity without any other meaning.
"All right, you're a commoner. Then where did you come from?" Teacher Ruth changed her approach and played a part in this young girl's little game.
"I come from home." Elysia once again answered honestly. She did indeed come from home before being stranded into this world.
"Then where is your house?" Teacher Ruth is not at a loss.
"Hmm... Unfortunately, I didn't bring it, Teacher Ruth. Do you want me to bring it?" Elysia smiled happily while remembering an old joke she had read in the past.
"No, that's not it. After all, why do you need to bring your house? I mean, where is your house located?"
"You want to visit my house? But I'm not there, then who will welcome you?" Elysia continued her joke with an innocent face.
She doesn't really want to answer with a definite answer because she can't answer it. A lie has to be followed by lies and other lies until it can become truth and somehow can be trusted by others, it is totally against her principle in life.
Unfortunately, at the moment only Elena knows about Elysia who has never lied and that's because she is always with her. Meanwhile, Elena from within the Soul Realm tried to hold back her laughter from breaking out and burst out laughing.
"I am a good and honest girl, trust me." Elysia raised one of her hands and showed a 'trust me' hand gesture as she watched Teacher Ruth narrow her eyes at the mixed answer she gave her innocently.
"Well, okay, I give up. I'm just curious about you, Elysia Avery. Similar incidents have happened several times in the past, and the most recent one was seven years ago. At that time there was a student who did exactly the same thing as you, namely an aristocrat who claimed to be a commoner when he enrolled in this academy."
Teacher Ruth raised her hand as if giving up with a wry smile. She also couldn't force Elysia to answer her questions honestly and just let her play her little games happily.
She just felt curious, the status of a student didn't really mean much to her point of view as a teacher in the last few decades.
During the discussion of the teachers earlier, she had said confidently that whatever the identity of the student, it would be useless in this academy because they would have the same status as students without exception.
Evelyn started giggling with amusement because she felt Elysia was terrible at lying and pretending, she also thought Elysia was an aristocrat who was claiming to be a commoner, just as Teacher Ruth thought.
Unlike Evelyn, Elysia became interested in the identity of the senior who had taken a path similar to her.
"May I know who did that extraordinary thing? Maybe I need to give him my respect if we meet in the future."
Elysia smiled happily as she silently thanked God and the seniors who had preceded her in doing this disguise of identity. This way she can seamlessly secure her identity and keep her day away from worrying problems.
"Well, only you think it is extraordinary. He is in the eighth year, his name is Raylee Marsh, a prince of a royal family in the Eastern Region. You can greet him easily in his platinum grade mansion."
Teacher Ruth didn't mind sharing this information with the girl who seemed to be imitating the senior's footsteps and just wanted to say hello. Since there weren't many platinum class mansions she just thought Raylee would be Elysia's neighbor and it was natural to greet each other.
Little did she know that Elysia's platinum privilege card was not in the hands of its supposed owner. Also, the privileges and resources provided by the academy to cultivate excellent quality seedlings with top-class talent would fall into the wrong hands for some time.
Elysia's smile crumpled up a little because of that but no one noticed it until she returned to her normal smile.
"Um... Then see you in magic class tomorrow morning, Elysia and Evelyn, don't forget the homework for my class~ We expect big things from you~" Teacher Ruth said while looking at Elysia for a moment before she waved her hand and walk away from there.
Evelyn didn't think much and waved her hand back at Teacher Ruth. Meanwhile, the more observant Elysia knows Teacher Ruth has her own meaning, and that Teacher Ruth's final sentence is very much aimed at her.
