Chapter 27 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess
Chapter 27 Don't Leave School After Class As Ifia listened to Britney's words, she raised an eyebrow and was not particularly surprised. There was a cooperative relationship between Britney and the dwarf nobility. Now that the dwarf nobility had been taken care of by Amelia, Britney, as a partner, must have received the news. Otherwise, Britney would not be so eager to please her. However, did Britney know that her backer was the duke's daughter? It didn't seem like it. If she found out, she probably wouldn't dare to come to the Pris Academy again... Yesterday, witnessing Amelia effortlessly deal with the dwarf nobility, not even bothering to pay attention to the other party, Ifia felt at the time that Amelia was really too, too awesome! Even back when she was a third-generation heiress, she was not as impressive as Amelia. Is this the difference between wealth and power? "Ifia, I didn't hear that wrong, did I? Britney actually praised you!" Like everyone else in the class, Ifia's tablemate Lucy was stunned, her mouth wide open. After regaining her composure, she couldn't wait to chat with Ifia. Ever since she saw the arrogant Britney in this class, she had never seen Britney treat any commoner like this. Indeed, Britney couldn't resist Ifia's charm! Lucy had actively made friends with Ifia because she found her so beautiful. Therefore, upon hearing Britney praise Ifia, Lucy felt a sense of camaraderie. However, Britney's previous behavior had made a deep impression. Even a commoner like Lucy could only think about it in her heart and didn't dare to have any other contact with Britney. "Of course, you didn't hear wrong, she did praise me." There were too many entanglements involved, and Ifia didn't mention them. Instead, she looked smug. The proud look on her fair face was not off-putting. Just looking at Ifia's curved almond eyes and the dimples on her lips, she seemed like a lovely doll in a shop window, making people want to just hug and kiss her. Therefore, Lucy nodded in agreement, quietly scooted closer, and sat nearer to Ifia. She really liked Ifia's cute face. While Ifia and Lucy chatted, the atmosphere on Britney's side became tense. At first, the noble Jessina, who accused Ifia of bragging, couldn't believe it. She had always thought Britney was like her, completely disgusted by commoner students like leeches, and yet now this? She had made a bet to drop out, and yet she praised Ifia! Where was Britney's noble pride? The more she thought about it, the angrier Jessina became. She frowned and, with a look of disapproval, addressed Britney, "Britney, what's gotten into you? How could you say such things! Don't forget, Ifia is just a commoner, not noble like us." Watching Jessina's anger, Britney suddenly felt ridiculous. She had been this way a few days ago. Envious of Ifia's outstanding looks, thinking a mere commoner would not make waves, but it turned out she was wrong. Now it was too late for regrets. Although she didn't know who was behind Ifia, someone who could bring down a count's family... It could be surmised that it was either a marquis or a duke. Such eminent figures, any one of them would be an insurmountable force. This realization shattered Britney's arrogance. The arrogance and complacency she had, with Sinqusen's disappearance, had almost dwindled, and now she just wanted to quietly leave... It was the right decision to leave the Pris Academy before she was found out. Therefore, Britney no longer cared about the outcome of the bet, as she was going to leave anyway. It was better to say a few kind words to gain Ifia's favor before leaving, hoping that she would let her off. She really regretted it! Boundless fear surrounded her, and staying in this classroom any longer would drive her insane! "Jessina, I'm just expressing my thoughts." Britney didn't want to argue with Jessina, and after speaking, she quietly packed up her things, and before leaving, she said to Jessina, "Never look down on anyone, otherwise you will regret it." Having said that, Britney left without explanation. Jessina was confused, but seeing that Britney had already left, her full of anger turned into even more resentment. She angrily turned to Ifia. It was all because of this commoner! She just arrived at the academy, didn't even read a few pages of the textbook, and had the audacity to proclaim that she would be number one in the year, as if she were the respected Miss Baren! It's ridiculous! "II..." However, before Jessina could speak, the class bell rang. The professor entered with the bell, and the students who were initially watching the commotion quickly dispersed and returned to their seats, well-behaved. Most of the teachers at the Pris Academy were nobles, and of high rank at that. As a result, they could suppress some extreme nobles in the academy, preventing cases of student abuse against teachers, and ensure the students behaved well. With a sullen look, Jessina glared at Ifia back in her seat, then reluctantly took her own seat. Humph! It didn't matter; she would have more time after school. She was determined to make this commoner Ifia acknowledge her arrogance! While Jessina was feeling down, Irene, who had been silently observing, let out a slight snort. There was a hint of jealousy in her delicate face, a jealousy even she didn't realize. She knew that Ifia was no simple person. Just a few days after enrolling, she actually made the most difficult Britney change her tune! However, even so, Irene did not shrink back. On the contrary, she became more determined. Regardless of Ifia's background and secrets, in the exams at the Pris Academy, she would have to rely on her own abilities. Therefore, the significance of achieving first place in this exam was enormous. She absolutely could not lose. The unexpected surge of competitiveness made Irene work even harder. She had already spent money to obtain past exam papers from previous years, and was eagerly awaiting the test the following day to see the results. Of course, Fiona and George were not aware of this, after all, one has to look out for oneself. Compared to the heavy burdens on Jessina and Irene, Ifia was much more relaxed and happy. So many people couldn't stand her, how did Jessina dare to act like a big shot? As for Irene, it was even simpler; she just had to wait for the exam results to come out. However, seeing Jessina refusing to give up, Ifia silently prepared and, after doodling away a class period, left the classroom the moment the bell rang for the end of class, even before the professor had left the room. This made Jessina, who had failed her "Don't Leave School After Class" plan, angrily stomp her foot. She would certainly get a hold of Ifia, this slippery eel, that afternoon! However, she didn't manage to catch Ifia even on the day of the exam. In the classroom, with Jessina full of resentment behind her, Ifia didn't feel any pressure. Instead, she turned her head and winked playfully at Jessina. After seeing Jessina turn red with anger, she stopped teasing her with a smile. Shortly afterwards, the invigilator arrived. The first exam at the Pris Academy officially began!
