afternoon.

Dean's Office.

The legendary Dean.

A little white-haired girl, with her delicate and adorable little feet bare, leaned against her own luxurious chair like a salted fish.

Her eyes were closed, and her delicate brows were slightly furrowed, making her doll-like face show a hint of hesitation, which made people want to hug her and comfort her carefully.

"Knock knock knock~"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Theresa opened her beautiful eyes and said in a serious tone:

Who is it?

"Knock knock knock~!"

The knocking came again, but there was no response. Veins bulged on Theresa's forehead.

"Who is it?"

"Hehe, it's me!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Theresa was instantly enraged.

He went over, opened the door, and there was Rudy.

What are you doing here?

Theresa crossed her arms and glared at him with displeasure.

Rudy's smiling expression made her very uncomfortable.

"What, you're not welcoming me?"

Rudy raised an eyebrow, walked straight into the office, and then casually closed the door behind him.

His burning gaze fell on the girl in front of him, and his smile became even brighter.

What do you think?

Theresa rolled her eyes, turned around, jumped onto the chair, and sat down.

She crossed her beautiful legs, glared at him with her beautiful eyes, and looked at him sideways.

I'll give you a look; you'll understand!

"Hehe, I think you welcome me."

Rudy grinned wickedly, rubbing his hands together as he leered at her.

Theresa felt her cheeks burning, and her pretty face instantly turned red to the roots of her ears.

Rudy's mischievous look made her panic instinctively.

"What do you want to do? I... I'm the dean, believe me or not, I'll teach you a lesson."

She raised her delicate little fist and glared at him fiercely, unaware that this only made her look cuter.

It has absolutely no deterrent effect.

"Fine, I'd like to see how you're going to teach me a lesson."

Rudy stepped forward and opened his arms to her.

Theresa quickly stuck out her foot and pressed it against his chest, saying irritably:

Can't you be serious for once?

"To be honest, this bad boy look really doesn't suit you."

"Really? I think it suits you quite well. Good people don't get punished, but evil people live on for a thousand years."

Rudy stepped forward, gently lifted her delicate chin, and said in a deep voice:

"Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Theresa froze, her eyes instinctively darting away, unable to meet his gaze.

"Wh...what explanation...?!"

A gasp of surprise followed.

Theresa was scooped up by Rudy, who then took over the Dean's exclusive chair, letting her sit on his lap and wrapping his arms around her slender waist.

"You're really dishonest."

"Theresa, stop pretending."

"Tell me about the church."

"What's the deal with that paladin candidate who's supposed to be studying at the academy?"

"Hmm..."

Theresa blushed and bit her lip.

She seemed somewhat reluctant to speak.

Rudy stared fiercely at her small face and said:

"Speak quickly."

"If you don't confess honestly, I'll punish you."

Upon hearing this, Theresa's body went limp, and her heart pounded.

"No...I...I'll tell you, okay?"

Theresa looked at him with a wronged expression, gritted her teeth, and said:

"In fact, the current archbishop of the church was one of the seven heroes in the past."

"Then what?"

"Then... he asked me to let his apprentice come here to study for a while, and I agreed... Ah!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Rudy placed Theresa across his lap and gave her a hard slap on the buttocks.

"Still not behaving yourself."

Rudy glared at the vixen with annoyance.

"You clearly said before that you didn't want to get involved with the church, but now when it came to the test lottery, I unexpectedly got a bye and can only wait for those three paladin candidates to arrive before I can participate in the test. Don't you think that's a coincidence?"

What are you hiding from me?

"Hmm..."

Theresa looked at Rudy with a pitiful expression.

My eyes gradually welled up with tears.

Bad guy Rudy.

He actually hit her.

hateful!

That's outrageous!

"Stop playing the victim. If you don't tell me the truth, you won't be sleeping tonight."

Rudy made another threat.

Theresa trembled and quickly shook her head.

"I...I was wrong, I've told you everything, isn't that enough?"

Theresa pouted, hesitated for a moment, and then sighed deeply.

"In fact, the current archbishop of the church is not only one of the seven heroes who defeated the demon king, but he is also my apprentice."

"Don't get me wrong."

"Theoretically speaking, the Seven Heroes are all my disciples. I taught them magic and helped them develop their own divine seal weapons."

"However, that guy is a bit special..."

"How so?" Rudy stared straight into her eyes. "I have a talent for detecting lies, so you can't lie, or I'll get angry."

"oh."

Theresa pursed her lips and couldn't help but sigh.

She chose to tell the truth.

Because Rudy's threats were too much.

They actually wouldn't let her sleep or anything...

That's terrible!

“His name is Diluc, and he is my suitor.”

"What?"
