Time seemed to stand still for a moment; Xu Ling could even hear the students around her holding their breath at her movements.
What, what happened?
No...isn't that wrong?
There was a slight commotion just now, but now there isn't even the slightest sound!
Unable to hear any sound and unable to determine what was happening, Xu Ling felt a little strange and couldn't help but raise her eyes.
At this moment, she was still the focus of everyone's attention, and every student present was looking in her direction.
only······
Upon closer inspection, Xu Ling realized that all those gazes seemed to convey the same meaning.
How dare you do that?!
Shock surged towards Xu Ling like a flood, as if she had just done something earth-shattering.
She simply stood up before the teacher on the podium finished saying "get out of class dismissed," didn't she?
This happens in almost every class in the witch's class, and not only the students but even the teachers are used to it!
So what's so surprising?
Completely baffled by what was so shocking, Xu Ling frowned, then lowered her head, letting the hood conceal her expression, and hugged the textbook tightly to her chest.
Despite her subconscious fear of any teacher standing on the podium, Xu Ling, who was naturally intimidated by her status, mustered her courage to ask, "Teacher... can we... end get out of class now?" because she was eager to leave.
Although her voice was so soft it sounded like she was talking to herself, thanks to the quietness of the classroom, everyone around her could hear her clearly.
Hmm... Of course, that includes her current teacher who is furthest away from her!
"hiss--!"
The moment Xu Ling finished speaking, a collective gasp rippled through the crowd. The sound was already quite loud, and when combined, it became truly deafening.
Unable to see the expressions on the faces of the crowd, and still no one spoke, Xu Ling imagined a roar echoing in her mind after that loud gasp: "Who gave you the courage to shout like that? How dare you?!"
The loudness of the voice and the panic in the tone, though imagined, were almost deafening.
Xu Ling was momentarily stunned, and just then, the teacher standing far away on the podium suddenly uttered a single word: "Class".
Other students: ? ? ? ?
None of the people present were stupid; they quickly grasped what the teacher meant by making connections between the different parts of the text.
—Class dismissed!
After a brief pause, everyone except Xu Ling sprang into action.
He stood up, put away his books, turned and left...
All the actions were done in one smooth motion, without any noise or chaos, and everyone left the classroom in an orderly fashion, like a line of fish.
Footsteps sounded slightly chaotically, but soon the classroom returned to its previous deathly silence.
When Xu Ling came to her senses, she was the only one left in the classroom... and the teacher who was elegantly organizing the teaching materials.
However, Xu Ling had no time to pay attention to that at the moment.
Once get out of class is over, her brain automatically ignores the person who is a teacher.
Xu Ling first quickly scanned her surroundings to make sure that all the students in white and silver robes had left, and then she also decided to leave.
However, she had only taken two steps forward when she was called back again.
"Wait a minute." The silver-haired teacher, whom she had ignored, spoke up again and called out to her.
Just like before, Xu Ling once again couldn't muster any resistance after hearing his words.
Although my heart was racing like a mouse facing a dead end, and I was screaming in terror, my legs defied my brain's commands and remained rooted to the spot, showing no desire to leave!
The footsteps sounded again, each one closer than the last. The "thump-thump" of their footsteps on the ground seemed to overlap with the sound of her heartbeat, like the vibration of a drum.
For some reason, Xu Ling became nervous again.
Compared to when he was teaching, the silver-haired teacher's pace was more leisurely. He walked a few steps slowly, and finally stopped a few steps away from her.
"Being late for class..."
"Teacher! I'm not a student in this class!" The moment she regained control of her body, Xu Ling hurriedly raised her hand to interrupt.
Judging from these words, she is about to suffer an undeserved disaster!
But the problem is she just went to the wrong classroom, it's not that serious... right?
Xu Ling's tone became even more sincere as she continued, "I'm sorry, teacher, I really went to the wrong classroom. I didn't mean to skip class; I just didn't want to disturb your lesson..."
She told the lie without batting an eye, but unfortunately, the hood almost completely obscured her expression, affecting Xu Ling's performance at that moment.
However, Xu Ling believed that the sincerity in her words alone was enough to explain everything.
"You're late for class, so be on time for the next class." The cold, flat voice said something Xu Ling hadn't expected.
Xu Ling: ······
No, she talked for ages, but the teacher didn't listen to a single word.
Don't you understand what "went to the wrong classroom" means?!
Holding her breath, Xu Ling patiently explained again, "Teacher, I..."
“I know,” the silver-haired teacher interrupted her ruthlessly, as if he knew what she was going to say. “Since you’re here to class, you’re my student. Be on time for the next class.”
No, how can you be so stubborn!
I already said you went to the wrong classroom!
With a "whoosh," Xu Ling pulled down her hood, her eyes burning with anger as she glared uncontrollably at the silver-haired teacher in front of her.
However, before her gaze could fall on the other person, suddenly, a line of text unexpectedly appeared on her screen.
[Task loading...]
Wait, what does this mean?!
Xu Ling's eyes widened suddenly; this was the first time she had ever encountered such a situation!
