“How about you become my personnel student as well?”
Eliyard questioned with a small smile on his face.
“Huh?” Candice’s eyes widened in surprise when she heard her teacher.
She didn’t know that was what Eliyard was planning when he asked her to take him to Nux. If she knew that, she would have tried to change the topic to something else or would have made another excuse.
There was no way she would allow Nux to become Eliyard’s student as well.
Her life would become a living hell if she saw his face more than 2 times a day.
Not only Candice but even the students who were hearing their conversation from behind were shocked as well.
That was the Headmaster!
To think that the headmaster would personally come here to ask Nux to become his student, just how big of an opportunity and honour is that?
The students looked at Nux with eyes full of reverence and envy.
Nux, however, didn’t seem very affected and answered with a nonchalant look.
“No. I don’t want to.”
“Huh?” Eliyard, Candice and all the other students blinked a few times, unable to believe what Nux just said.
“W-What did you say?” Eliyard questioned, just to be sure.
“I said that I don’t want to become your student.” .
Nux answered.
“I-Is there a reason why you don’t want to become my student?” Eliyard, who still couldn’t believe that he was rejected questioned.
As for the reasons,
Well, there were many.
But the most important one was that,
Eliyard wasn’t a woman.
Nux was still in his teens, his years where he would spend his youth amidst fresh flower fields.
He would, of course, not spend time with a 100+ years old bald dude like him. He wanted to spend time with flowers, not with dirty old mud.
Of course, a 100+ years old beautiful mature woman was very very welcomed.
However, he can’t say this reason out loud, therefore, he had to give another reason,
“I trust that Teacher Arvina would be able to bring the best out of me.”
“But I am stronger than Teacher Arvina you know?”
Eliyard muttered.
“Huh? What the hell is going on here?”
A small smile appeared on Nux’s face when he heard a cold voice.
He then turned towards his beautiful, matured and wild teacher and smiled,
“They are trying to recruit your cute and hard-working student, Teacher Arvina.” He simply pointed at the Headmaster and walked towards Arvina.
“I, of course, rejected,
How can I ever leave you?”
Nux muttered.
Arvina didn’t react to his words and directly turned toward the Headmaster.
“Headmaster, I didn’t know you were so interested in my students.” She commented.
“Ah, it isn’t like that, Vice Headmaster Arvina, as you know, both Candice Water and Nux Leander are gems of our academy, we have to focus on both of them, do we not?
So I thought it would be better if both students got equal opportunities to grow.”
“That is good thinking, headmaster, but don’t you think it would be unfair to these gems if we just provide them average teaching even though we have better teachers just for the sake of being impartial?”
Arvina smiled and Eliyard’s face twitched in annoyance.
‘Did she just call me an average teacher?’
He gritted his teeth inwardly, however, in the end, he controlled himself and smiled,
“Nux, are you sure you do not want the chance to learn under a King Stage Cultivator? It is a rare opportunity, you know? Not everyone will get a chance like this.”
Nux just smiled,
“I want to stay by my teacher’s side.”
He refused politely, however, inwardly, he was cursing this man,
‘Just leave us alone you baldie, or do you want me to smack that shiny-looking head of yours?’
“Alright, I hope you won’t regret your decision in the future.” Eliyard smiled and turned around.
“Let’s leave, Candice.”
“A-Ah, yes teacher.”
Candice turned around, however, before she left, she glanced at Nux and smirked.
Nux smiled, and then he pointed at his foot. i
Candice lowered her head and noticed that Nux was moving her foot as if he was stepping on something.
Her eyes widened in anger when she realized what he was hinting about,
She then glared at Nux and turned around.
‘Just you wait, you bastard!
I will make sure you pay!’
She swore inwardly.
Actually, after she became Headmaster’s student and regained a bit of her reputation, she tried to use her newly gained dogs to go after Nux, however, as soon as those dogs heard Nux’s name, they refused.
Their answer was simple, ‘if even Lady Candice was unable to defeat that man, how are we supposed to do it?’
Candice always turned silent when they said something like that.
This further increased her anger towards Nux.
Of course, Nux didn’t care what she felt, he just turned towards Arvina and sighed in relief,
“Haah~ Teacher, thank god you are here~
I was so so scared~
I thought they were going to kidnap me.”
Seeing him acting like that, Arvina couldn’t help but shake her head and chuckle,
“You really like drama, don’t you?”
“It was entertaining.” Nux chuckled.
“But I never thought that the headmaster would actually come and would try to recruit me,” Nux commented.
“Tsk Tsk, that baldie dares to recruit my student. Arrogant.” Arvina smarted.
“Arrogant Baldie indeed.” Nux nodded.
“Oi, show some respect, he is the Headmaster of this Academy.”
Arvina muttered.
“…”
Nux turned silent and looked at Arvina with a deadpan look on his face.
“Follow me, we are already late.”
“Alright,”
Saying that, the two of them walked towards Arvina’s mansion and left.
“D-Did the Headmaster and Vice Headmaster fought each other for a student?” After they left, one of the students came out of his reverie and muttered.
“T-That is w-what I saw…” Another student nodded.
“J-Just how good one has to be for two highest ranking individuals in the Academy to fight over him like this? And how can he just refuse the headmaster like it is nothing?”
“Stop thinking about it,
We and he live in two different worlds.
Go back to your class.”
