Right after Orion and Dahlia left the art ssroom, someone could be seen walking into the ssroom, and it was none other than Professor Daisy.


    Daisy had just returned from the ce she went to and she came back as fast as she could, hoping she would be able to make it in time for the ss.


    However, to her surprise, there was no one in the ssroom.


    "There''s no one here," Daisy muttered to herself with a sad look on her face.


    She was sad that she still didn''t make it even after she tried her best to return to the academy on time.


    She wanted to teach the students who had been waiting for her in the ssroom, but now that she had arrived, it looked like all the effort she had made to return as soon as she could was all in vain.


    "Well, I should have expected something like this to happen."


    "Only one student registered for this ss, and he must have been bored staying all alone."


    "I can understand why he wouldn''t want to stay here for more than a few minutes."


    "He must have been bored while waiting for me."


    "Actually, anyone would be bored staying here without having someone to talk to."


    "It would have been better if he had a beautiful girl by his side."


    This-is-a-NovelBin-special


    "If he''d had a beautiful girl by his side, he probably would have stayed a bit longer."


    "Yeah… probably."


    Daisy smiled a bit before sitting on a chair. She turned around to look at the art ssroom, hoping that one day, it wouldn''t be as quiet and vacant as it was right now.


    Art was still in its infancy stage in this world, so there weren''t a lot of people that knew about it.


    This was the reason why the art ss was currently an elective ss and not a core ss.


    When most students in Ste Hall heard about the art ss and what they would be doing in the ss, they became uninterested in registering for the ss because it sounded like it would be a boring one. But art could be quite fun and exciting in its own way, and this was what Daisy wanted her students to see.


    However, her absence on the first day of the ss wasn''t really awe-inspiring and it could indirectly send the wrong message to her students.


    ''If this keeps happening, the students will stoping to ss,'' Daisy uttered in her thoughts.


    ''They might also think that I am noting to ss because I''m not interested in teaching them.''


    ''But I do want to teach them,'' Daisy sighed deeply before leaning into her chair and resting her hands on its arm.


    ''Anyways, I have to stop missing more of my sses,'' Daisy made up her mind as she vowed to be more dedicated to her job as a professor.


    Unlike the other professors and instructors in the academy, Daisy had a separate job she was doing.


    Despite being a professor at the academy, she was also an artist and the owner of a nightclub as well.


    However, things hadn''t been going so well in her other jobs, hence why she had been feeling depressed and drinking her sorrows away for the past few months.


    This was also the real reason why she kept visiting Sabrina''s room and drinking with her even though Sabrina didn''t like it.


    But Daisy also knew that she wasn''t supposed to allow herself to keep feeling depressed or she might actually lose her job as a professor, and Daisy didn''t want that to happen.


    Alright, Daisy, happy face.''


    ''Nobody likes to talk to a girl who frowns a lot.'' Daisy gently tapped her cheeks, reminding herself to always remain cheerful and optimistic.


    She wouldn''t want her students to see her as a gloomy professor.


    Daisy really liked it here at the academy and she loved sneaking into Sabrina''s room to eat, drink, sleep, and make a mess of the room as well.


    In other words, she enjoyed being an annoying friend to Sabrina, and who didn''t love having an annoying friend around?


    Sabrina might act like she didn''t like her, but Daisy knew that deep down, Sabrina loved having her as a friend.


    ''Yep, she definitely loves having me around her, and why wouldn''t she?''


    ''I''m beautiful and extremely annoying.''


    ''So, what''s not to like about me?'' Daisy tried to maintain a cheerful attitude, hoping this would help her forget the troubles she had been having as an artist and nightclub owner.


    ''I have another ss to teach tomorrow and I have to make sure everything is ready for tomorrow''s ss."


    ''I should probably apologize to the students for missing two of my sses today,'' Daisy took a mental note of the things she wanted to do as she stood up from her seat, hoping to get everything ready for tomorrow''s ss, but while doing this, Daisy suddenly noticed the canvas in front of her.


    She walked closer to see the drawing Orion had drawn before leaving the ssroom.


    After taking a better look at the piece of art in front of her, a smile appeared on her face and Daisy couldn''t wait to have a chat with the artist that drew this.


    Meanwhile, Orion and Dahlia had arrived at the training ground, but they were surprised to see An and Arthur sparring against each other while Adrian sat on a bench, watching the two of them.


    Over the years, Adrian had grown taller and he looked a lot more muscr than he used to be. He was wearing a steel-gray tunic which happened to be the training clothes for students in Ste Hall.


    An and Arthur were also wearing the same thing but they hadn''t noticed Orion and Dahlia yet.


    Adrian, on the other hand, noticed their presence and swiftly stood up from his seat before bowing towards Orion and Dahlia.


    Orion acknowledged him before asking. "So, how does it feel to be one of the top ten students in the academy?"


    "It feels strange, but I''m definitely liking it here," Adrian replied as he watched Orion sit on the bench while Dahlia stood behind him.
