Robert regretted it immediately after he shouted out angrily. However, it was too late to take his words back.
His hands were pressed on the table and he was half-standing. Bearing the gaze of almost all the students in the same year, his mind suddenly became clear and he immediately understood his situation.
...
"Brogheim, do you have any problem with Emma Mortis?"
Dark's voice was still flat.
But Robert could hear a different meaning from it. He broke out in cold sweats, his legs almost given out.
The story of the millionaire Jamie overlapped with his a lot.
He was emotionally unstable because he got exposed that he had not done his homework before. And with the example given by Dark, he felt as if he himself was cheated by Emma of more than 21 million credits, that was why he lost control of himself.
'It's over. I've completely messed it up!'
Robert was so deep in despair that he didn't even notice White pulling the corner of his clothes fiercely.
"Brogheim, I'll ask again. Do you have any problem with Emma Mortis?"
Dark stood on the podium and asked again.
Robert could only bite the bullet and replied, "No, no."
Dark, "Then, Brogheim, deduct 10 points."
...
The arithmetic class was over.
Dark packed up the textbooks and headed to Professor Lily's office, intending to help her tidy up the office, at least throwing away all the wine bottles.
After he left the classroom, there was a commotion amongst the first-year students.
The students at the Noble House were the most excited, because this lesson from Dark was really great!
They were all saying that they would rather be lectured by Dark than Professor Lily!
Even a student of the Magister House had admitted that Dark's performance in this class was great.
The reactions of the students of the Fool House were very simple, they simply admired him.
Only the students of the Knight House were suffering from the strange gazes of the other three other houses, and they felt very complicated.
In this class, they were like examples of bad students, and like circus members in the eyes of other houses.
And Robert, who was the clown, almost hid under the table!
Twenty points were deducted for this class!
Not only had he lost all the basic points for this lesson, but he had also lost all the basic points of White!
The two brothers originally obtained 75 points together with much effort, and they were only 5 points short from completely paying off their debts. However, these 5 points had now become an insurmountable barrier!
Whose fault was this?
Of course it couldn't be Dark's fault.
Dark was already forgiving enough!
No one would say that what he did was too much.
This could only be Robert's own fault.
After all, he himself didn't do the homework.
...
"Sorry, it's all my fault."
Somewhere in the corner, Robert said, feeling immensely guilty.
White leaned against the wall thinking about something, but said lightly, "It's okay, Robert, let's go find someone to borrow 5 points."
It was Robert who comforted him before, but now it was the other way around.
White wasn't that angry.
The most important thing was that Robert's mind became clear at the end and he didn't expose their debt to other people.
Otherwise, he didn't know if Emma would be in trouble, but they definitely would.
Being used as a bad example and having their names listed on the pillar of shame of Saint Marian for six years was not something that a little magister could bear..
In this matter, they were not just victims.
Once exposed, perhaps the protagonist in the story Dark told would change from the so-called "Millionaire Jamie" to "The Hero's son, White, and his little friend"!
Thinking about how he was very popular at the beginning of the school, but now he had a big load on his back, White was lost.
"If I had been studying hard from the beginning of school to the present, would it be me that was standing on the podium instead of Demon?"
...
Things did not develop as White thought.
They had already failed to borrow credits last night, how would they be able to borrow any credits today?
Moreover, after listening to the short story Dark told, the first-year students probably realized the importance of arithmetic and credits by now, so none of them wanted to lend a single credit.
White and Robert couldn't directly explain their reasons for borrowing the credits, so they could only ask many students one after another. But frequent borrowing made them become even more annoying in the eyes of many students.
...
At 12:45, White made some calculations.
In another fifteen minutes, the debt would be doubled. It would change from 80 to 160.
And if they only had 75 points, they would need another 85 points!
But only three classes were left before the next deadline.
The three classes would only give them the basic credits of 60 points. If they wanted to get enough credits in these three classes, they needed to get an extra 25 credits!
White said quietly, "Robert, let's study hard!"
Robert said with a dispirited tone, "But White, have you done your homework on the history of magic?"
White, "..."
...
In Professor Lily's office.
"Come, drink this…."
"No, no! Be gentle, it's going to spill! Gululu~ so bitter~ Wuwuwu!"
Dark put the special sobering soup on the table and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Professor Lily was more than just the Professor for the first-year students.
If he didn't wake her up at noon, he might be forced to go to the classroom for senior students as a substitute teacher!
At that time, he would probably need to talk about calculus, quantum mathematics, etc.
Maybe it was a good idea to teach some geometry knowledge?
But he was afraid that by teaching those things would give him a sense of superiority, then it would be game-over for him.
In order to avoid this, he asked DemiDevimon to get the special sobering soup from the halfling chefs. Although it was bitter, the effect was remarkable.
Professor Lily sat up with an exhausted expression, her coat slipped, revealing her soft shoulders and collarbone.
Dark took his coat back quickly, and then slipped away before Professor Lily had the chance to ask him anything. "Professor, I still have classes, so I won't disturb you. In addition, I have explained all the homework last week, (^_^ )/~~bye."
Bang!
...
Finally, nothing happened in the history of magic class in the afternoon.
Professor Didi read the lesson preparation materials as always, occasionally picking one or two people to answer the questions.
In general, as long as the students didn't fall asleep in this class, it was basically impossible to lose points.
White and Robert came to the classroom ahead of time to finish their homework. Although none of their answers were correct, they didn't lose any points...
After class, the two hurried to the library.
They had never been so active in learning since the beginning of school.
The two classes on Wednesday morning would be Potions and Summoning. It would be very difficult to earn an extra 25 points in these two classes.
If they wanted 25 extra points, they must have a better performance than Dark and Emma!
...
Emma stepped into the library, just in time to see the backs of the two disappearing in a hurry.
"They are here?"
She murmured it in a low voice. She then turned around, entered the reading room from the other direction, and walked to the seat she used to be.
After she sat down, she took out the heavy "Records of Legends of Historical Figures" from her school bag and turned to the page with the bookmark.
On the left was a portrait, and on the right was the legend of this person.
After reading this again, Emma couldn't help muttering to herself, "I didn't expect that what Demon told today would be similar to this story."
...
