I was done with my speech and waited for all kinds of curses and stuff that would delight my morning.
But unlike what I thought, the students were remarkably quiet after that. It's as if someone turned off the voice switch and they all couldn't voice out their thoughts anymore.
I stood for a second before sighing, "Damn… here I thought someone would get annoyed and I would get someone to make a punching bag out of."
"The new generation is evolving."
Nobody other than Jennifer who was close to him, heard his words. She looked at Henry with her brows cracking, 'Only someone as bizarre like him would say that.' New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel[f]ire.net
I don't agitate anyone anymore and slowly walk towards ahead. Just like the classroom before, this one too had the same seating arrangement as I walked up.
As I passed by the students, they quickly occupied any empty space next to them. They were worried about me and didn't want me anywhere near them. I could feel how their eyes were screaming at me to go away.
The only person who wasn't telling me to go away was Samantha. She signaled with her excited eyes at me to come sit next to her. Though Elisabeth was fully occupied in her books and that redhead called Rosie directly shaking her head at me.
Which made me want to directly sit next to her.
But this being my first day, I didn't want to get a title of woman snatcher so quickly. So I went up and up until I was four floors up and sat alone at the place.
Samantha felt disappointed on me ignoring her calls, while the other students sighed in relief as I didn't choose any of them. The only ones who were more disappointed than Samantha were the students in front of me who didn't like me sitting behind them.
"Why do we have to get shit !"
"If only there was another floor up."
They murmured their disdain quietly so that I wouldn't hear them. I did, but kept silent for now.
Seeing me quiet in my seat, Jennifer was relieved.
"Alright then, let's continue the class from where we left. I was talking about dividing your balls-"
There were reasons why I had taken such a high floor all alone. Frankly it was empty with no one stopping me and secondly it was all quiet with the whole place being mine.
But the most important fact was that, I could sleep here and no one would disturb me.
Jennifer's ears perked up at that annoying yet familiar sound and just as she looked back, her eyes paled. She saw Henry going to sleep again in her class.
It wasn't exactly rare so she wasn't that surprised by it. But that didn't mean she wasn't angry at it.
Her hands tightened on the chalk in her hand and she aimed at Henry. Suddenly he shifted and turned aside as Jennifer faltered.
She thought, 'Why wake up a hassle when I could simply finish my class and leave without trouble?'
With that positive thought in mind, she let Henry sleep to his pleasure and went back to teaching. She even was a bit quieter than before, making sure not to cause too much noise that would wake the trouble up.
So the class went on and Henry kept sleeping. It wasn't until he felt someone shaking his body that he felt awake. At first he thought it would Samantha because who else would annoy him here with no Winona, Alex or anyone else.
But he faced someone else… someone unknown.
It was a guy from this new class. He had a smug look on him that only showed trouble. Even the way he stood and his body structure showed he came to cause problems.
It became even more eminent when there were two other standing behind him as if supporting him.
"So the princess finally woke up, eh." He said, his voice oozing with arrogance. "And here we thought it would take us a pig or some big delicious sandwich to wake your highness." The guy had a rich English accent.
I looked at his face, trying to find any similarity but found nothing. Then I looked at the other students who were calmly looking at this, subtly supporting it.
'Is this supposed to be intimidating?'
I smile, "Of course it would take much. Your mother gave me quite the service last night."
The smirk went away immediately and he frowned, "Look here, Varlet! Do you even know who my mother is?"
"I'm sure I remember her." I say, stretching my body, "Just let me take a look in the book where all the names of mid quality whores that I banged are."
"You insolent fucker!"
"You don't even know your worth and say stuff without knowing its consequences."
His two male buddies spoke before the lead signaled them to stop.
"What would he know about my mom anyway? Besides I shouldn't have expected anything else from a guy whose mother is a kitchen maid."
"Granted" I nod, "You know my history I suppose. But I don't seem to know any of you, who are you guys?"
The lead smiled, thinking he got through Henry's skin, "My name is Landon Cleve, son of the Earl, Clinton Cleve."
The one to the left said, "Halford Burton, son of Earl Bilford Burton."
The right one, "Greyjoy Joy, son of Joy Sr."
I nod, "Those names don't have any recognition to me so either your family isn't that popular or they aren't to me, but forget about that." I shook my head, "All of you are second sons or worse I guess."
They narrowed their eyes, "What does that have anything to do with this?"
"Nothing really… except that if I were to smash something accidentally, I won't have to worry about it."
Landon's face darkened even more, "I think we forgot to tell you about the rules and regulation of our Class. Seeing how your lowborn and so ignorant, let me welcome you into our fold."
He immediately pulled back his fist, which suddenly burst in bright yellow flames and struck at me.
I quickly grab his fist to Landon's amusement. He thought that I would regret grabbing his burning hands but he was very wrong.
Landon's face turned wry as he saw my smiling expression. His hands were burning hot but I still grabbed on to it without any pain.
I broke Landon's fist as he immediately buckled in pain. Quickly, he's friends used their own attacks on me.
One put his frozen sharp hand at my neck and the other used smoke to block my mouth from breathing.
"Do it quickly before we kill you."
Their warning fell to deaf ear as I smile, "Your trying to protect your friend but you forget. If both of you are protecting him, who's protecting the two of you?"
They couldn't understand that before something invisible like a wave hit them. They flew back, hit the wall and fell down.
Seeing the current situation, Samantha and a few others quickly came to stabilize the situation, "Henry, let him go otherwise you'll be in a big problem."
Before I could say anything the door opened and Elivia walked in. Her expression pale at the current situation before her eyes landed on me.
"I don't know what's happening here, but you need to come to the council with me."
