Lu Ze slumped onto the desk, exhausted after finally finishing all his tasks. He truly wished he could sleep for a whole day. It was the weekend today, so why did he have to suffer like this? Why?!
Feeling a pang of resentment, Lu Ze watched Theresa's dangling feet in the air. The white stockings covering her small feet looked incredibly alluring.
She was holding a comic book and had a straw in her mouth, the other end connected to a bitter melon juice. She would take a sip from time to time before flipping a page of the comic.
She appeared extremely relaxed. This principal was really something else, just dumping all the work on him and then going off to relax and enjoy herself. He was clearly just a tool.
If it weren't for her delicious cooking, Lu Ze would have rebelled long ago. It definitely wasn't because of the enormous Oath of Judah, nor was it because of her S-rank level. Those two things were not the issue; he simply liked the food she made.
Yes, that was it! No matter how difficult things got, he had to maintain his stubborn stance.
"Hm? All done? Then help me tally the scores. It's still early anyway. Have dinner before you go back. You don't have anything to do when you return, so it doesn't matter if you leave a little later!"
Putting down her comic book, she leaped lightly and jumped off the sofa. Her little feet, clad in white stockings, landed on the floor with a loud thud.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a fairy leap? It's just a bit loud! Take your eyes off me."
Lu Ze shook his head innocently. "I wasn't even looking at you! Why are you saying this to me? My heart feels so cold. Why did I end up with such a principal? Did I pick up 1,000 yuan in my past life or something? My luck is this bad."
Searching her desk, Theresa found the relevant forms, took out her notebook, and opened a folder. This was the school's ranking of all the students' scores, which she had to meticulously copy down by hand and then post on the school wall.
You might wonder why she didn't just print them out. It was simply because Theresa didn't want this person to leave, so she made up an excuse to keep him around.
You ask for a reason? There wasn't one. She just wanted to keep him here, at least so she wouldn't feel lonely...
"All you need to do is write all the scores on this table. You can check your own scores first."
Upon hearing that he could check scores, Lu Ze quickly took the laptop and began looking up Kiana's results. Beside him, Theresa frowned and said,
"Do you like my niece that much? Why are you checking her score first, Lu Ze... Am I not pretty?"
This question completely stumped Lu Ze. What was going on? She was asking if he thought she was pretty? Theresa, are you acting out again?
Have you switched personalities again? Why are you asking such a bizarre question?
Although it was bizarre, he didn't know how to answer. If he said she wasn't pretty, he'd surely get a scolding. If he said she was pretty, it felt a bit insincere.
"No, you're thinking for so long! Do you think I'm not pretty? Is my niece the only one in your heart?"
A large "Danger" sign appeared above his head. As expected, he received a punch from Theresa's iron fist. A fist as soft as a bean bun, no... like a little steamed bun, landed directly on his forehead.
Although she hadn't exerted much strength, she was still an S-rank Valkyrie. He was probably going to return injured this time.
He closed his eyes and waited for half a minute, but still felt no pain. Could it be... that my defense has become stronger? It doesn't hurt anymore, which is a bit strange.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a fist less than 0.01 millimeters away from his forehead. If it had moved any closer, it would have directly split open his skull.
"Forget it, I'll let you off this time. Hurry up and answer me, am I pretty or not?"
Knowing that he would definitely be hit with a heavy blow if he didn't answer, Lu Ze, not wanting to dance on the edge of life and death, quickly said,
"You're beautiful, you're beautiful, our Principal Theresa is the cutest in the world! Unsurpassed!"
Hearing this, Theresa shyly covered her mouth, like a bashful maiden. She lightly punched Lu Ze's chest and whispered,
"I'm not as cute as you say, but I'll let you off this time. I'm going to make you dinner."
Seeing that he had escaped danger, Lu Ze breathed a sigh of relief and began checking scores on his laptop.
Not long after, he found Kiana's scores. He had to say, the tutoring had been very effective. Most subjects were above the passing line, with the best scores in the 90s and the worst in the 70s.
Sigh, it was finally accomplished. Otherwise, he would have to face Teacher Himeko's demonic punishment. Thankfully, Lady Luck was still on his side.
He glanced at his own scores, then at the others'. As expected, all four of them had passed the Valkyrie assessment, and their ranks had risen to C-class. With a little more effort, passing next year's Valkyrie assessment would allow them to reach B-class.
Alternatively, they could gain experience by taking on missions, but since they had their studies, they couldn't undertake too many missions. Therefore, the hope for promotion still rested on the Valkyrie assessment.
After reviewing, Lu Ze quickly began filling in the table. Fortunately, there weren't too many people, only around 500. It was quite fast to write them down.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Theresa looked at the fragrant beef patties before her and felt incredibly happy, almost flying with joy.
"He has a sweet tongue, so I'll make him an extra dish."
About half an hour later, three dishes were placed on the table. Lu Ze looked at the steaming meat patties, and his stomach rumbled uncontrollably.
"What are you staring at? Let's eat together. There's dipping sauce here, it tastes pretty good, right?"
"More than pretty good. Your cooking has improved a lot again."
Hearing the compliment, Theresa couldn't help but smile.
"Hmph, of course. Who do you think I am? Eat quickly, then go and deal with your tasks. I'll continue reading my comics."
After a few quick bites, Theresa was already engrossed in a new comic book. Although she read comics very quickly, she had plenty of money, and two-thirds of her bookshelf was filled with them.
How could she possibly finish them all?
It took Lu Ze about an hour to fill in the scores for over 500 people. After bidding farewell to Theresa, he was finally free.
Looking at the moon high in the sky, Lu Ze sneered. It seemed he had seen the moon tonight after all. It wasn't that terrifying.
