The Modern Immortal

School part 2

Not sure if it was because of the wear and tear from the long years, or that Edward’s previous action being too violent, but the initially strong chair was actually damaged. So when Edward sat on the chair, a “kacha” sound could be heard as he fell onto the floor with his hands and legs dancing wildly in the air and a heart-tearing, lung-splitting shriek was produced.

With Edward making such a scene, the tense and silent atmosphere disappeared in an instance, and there was even someone who could not resist laughing out loud.

Even Daemon himself almost burst out laughing, the environment changed so much in just matters of seconds . But thinking back on how Edward had stood out to speak up for him, he forced back his laughter and walked towards Edward to pick him up from the floor.

On the other hand, most of the people that were on Leo’s side did not dare to laugh, because they did not want to anger Edward who had an extremely intimidating temper.

“Are you all done? If you’re done then shut up!” Just when everybody’s attention was focused on Edward, a cold voice resounded from the front of the classroom.

Upon hearing the imposing voice, the classroom became dead silent in an instance, and even Edward stopped screaming in pain.

At this time, Daemon had a face filled with shock when he saw that the chair on floor was perfectly undamaged, and that Edward was even unharmed.

As if seeing through what Daemon was thinking about, Edward gave Daemon a few winks. If not for Daemon’s soul returning back, which improved his eyesight, the wink that Edward gave from his seemingly straight-line eyes would have been a waste of effort.

“This fatty is actually a genius.” Seeing the winking expression that Edward gave, Daemon immediately understood the reason why Edward fell, and he couldn’t help but praise his high EQ.

Edward only wanted to go against Leo and not the whole class, but his actions previously were too arrogant, which may easily cause the rest to detest him. But after acting out his slapstick self-torture performance, the effect of Edward’s arrogance and despotic actions had clearly been dissolved, and the favourable impression that he brought to the rest of the class would also be fresh in their minds.

“The whole school could hear your argument. Even if you don’t feel ashamed, I feel ashamed. Do all of you still have the image of a student?” Seeing that he had successfully intimidated the sixty over students in his class, Teacher Lin’s expression softened slightly.

He took a look at everyone in the class, causing the students to panic as they all lowered their heads in guilt. Only Daemon, Edward and Leo had their chest held up without being intimidated by Teacher Lin.

Teacher Lin had a look of disgust as he cast his sight from Daemon to Edward. But when he laid his eyes on Leo, a smile appeared, “Leo, what exactly happened just now, why did the class made such a big ruckus?”

“Teacher, Daemon did not attend last night’s self-study session and was even late for the morning self-study session as well, so I just told him off a bit. But after that, Edward went to smash the chair and kicked the table, and even started criticising us that no matter how good our grades are, we will only just be an employee working under someone. Furthermore, he still said that dealing with us would only be a lift of a finger to him…” Leo became very confident after having the main class teacher backing him up. Giving Daemon and Edward a side glance, he started explaining the situation, adding oil to the fire as well.

Teacher Lim did not like Daemon and Edward in the first place, so when he had finished listening to what had happened, the expression on his face when he looked at Daemon and Edward was filled with even more disgust.

“Daemon, the results for last month’s monthly test are out, and do you know how much you got? 75 marks!” Teacher Lin’s eyes locked onto Daemon as he started reprimanding him.

“It's 75 marks! The total marks for the test is 850 marks, but you actually got 75 marks! You are the first in the cohort if we count the ranking backwards, do you know how many people laughed at me because of this? If not for your mother kneeling down and begging me several times, do you really think that I would let you stay in this class?” Teacher Lin scolded Daemon loudly.

“Every time you assure me that you will work hard and score better on the next test, but every time when the result comes out you are always the lowest in the cohort, and your results are getting worse and worse each time!”

“Daemon, I have already sent in a request to the principal to have you expelled or at least have you switched to another class, our class is never going to continue having you here, or else I will quit my post as the main teacher of this class!”

****

Teacher Lin was roaring when he said those words, his facial muscles were warped up, and his eyes turned blood red as if Daemon did an unpardonable crime.

Facing Teacher Lin’s scolding, Daemon’s lips trembled for a brief moment. If it was immortal realm thai guy would have died thousands time in various and creative ways for just raising his voice in front of Daemon but on here he can't do things like in immortal realm. He controlled himself and  wanted to explain himself, but gave up on that thought after he observed Teacher Lin for a while. He stood on the spot quietly, letting Teacher Lin reprimand him.

However, Edward, who was standing beside Daemon, had his face totally red, as if he had suffered a huge humiliation. His body kept on fidgeting while his mouth opened up a few times, wanting to defend Daemon. But he was suppressed back by Teacher Lin’s imposing manner and was not able to speak up.

After scolding Daemon non-stop for about 10 minutes, Teacher Lin’s pent up anger had almost subsided, and following that, he cast his eyes onto Edward.

When he saw the indistinct mocking smile on the corner of Edward’s mouth, Teacher Lin choose to ignore his existence before criticising the other students that were not performing well. Only when the bell for the end of morning self-study session rang did Teacher Lin stop his scolding and left hastily.

Although Teacher Lin had left, the classroom still had an intangible heavy atmosphere. Other than a few students who needed to go to the toilet, the majority of them were busy revising.
