Chapter 4 - Teacher Lina and the Princess
Dave made his way to the classroom he had been assigned, guided by school personnel who informed him that his room was a special class.
The sections were divided into C, B, A, and special classes.
The special class was reserved for royal family members and some nobles, housing the most talented students in the academy.
Upon opening the door to the classroom, all the students' attention immediately shifted to him.
The girls' eyes lit up with excitement, while the boys couldn't help but feel inferior.

Dave had expected this and was pleased to accumulate Sin points.
He scanned the room for a seat, noticing some girls trying to entice him with vacant seats.
However, he ignored their advances and opted for a seat in the back row where no one was seated.
Dave's arrival generated excitement among the girls in the classroom, while some students who had already seen him at the opening ceremony were less surprised.
Suddenly, a new student entered the room, causing a ripple of reactions among the students.
Her name was Rose Oragon, the 3rd Princess of the Dragon Empire, known as the Tyrannical Princess for her tendency to bully and challenge boys.
Rose was a striking beauty with long silver hair, standing at a height of 170 cm, and was considered one of the campus's student flowers.
Rose had developed a reputation for beating up boys who stared at her with admiration and lust, detesting the attention she received.
As she entered the classroom, she noticed her seat was occupied by a red-haired boy who appeared to be dozing off at the table.
Rose had just gone to the restroom, but when she returned, she discovered that someone else had taken her seat.
Rose didn't attend the ceremony so she didn't know the commotion Dave had done.
Naturally, it was Dave who had taken her seat, seemingly bored with the proceedings.
Rose approached Dave, her initial shock at his handsome face gradually giving way to a sense of familiarity.
'His face looks familiar.'
With a composed tone, she informed him, "That's my seat."
'Hmm.'
Dave glanced at her briefly before choosing to ignore her.
When Rose confronted him again, he simply looked at her and turned away.
"Bastard."
Observing his carefree attitude and his decision to ignore her, Rose's frustration grew.
Rose's irritation mounted, prompting her to try and kick him.
Her movements appeared swift to the onlookers, but from Dave's perspective, they seemed to unfold in slow motion.
Dave swiftly rose from his seat and skillfully caught her leg as she attempted to kick him. He held her waist and leaned in close, remarking, "Hey, beauty, why is your temper as short as you?"
Rose was taken aback by the sudden turn of events, and their posture became quite ambiguous. She found herself pressing against Dave's chest, unable to move a muscle.
A blush crept onto Rose's face as she felt Dave's warmth. The entire class was shocked by Dave's audacious response.
The girls observed in admiration, with one remarking, "He's so manly," while the boys looked on with newfound respect, thinking, "I must follow him; we can learn some moves."

Dave paid little attention to the notifications as he focused on the woman in his arms and examined her status.

===============
Dave was surprised to discover that Rose possessed considerable strength, and her Oragon surname hinted at her royal status.
Nevertheless, he was unfazed by her fiery temper, having dealt with strong-willed women in the past.
Dave met her gaze confidently. "What? Never seen a handsome guy before?" he quipped.
Rose, who had been staring at Dave, blushed and reacted by shoving him away in irritation.
She was perplexed by the fact that she couldn't tear her eyes away from his striking face.
"Arghh, I'm so angry! You damn pervert, I'm gonna beat you up!"
Rose roared in frustration. She couldn't understand why her reactions had slowed; it was as if she were mesmerized by Dave's handsome face.
Rose threw a punch at Dave, but he effortlessly dodged it.
Boom!
A loud explosion rang through the classroom, startling the other students.
Rose's power was undoubtedly above her peers, but unfortunately, it fell short in comparison to Dave's.
Dave remained unfazed, looking at the incident with a calm expression.
Rose, upon witnessing Dave's calm reaction, decided to reach for her sword in her storage ring.
However, she was interrupted by a cough from behind.
Startled, she turned to find their teacher, a woman named Lina Silvia, who was known as the "Ice Beauty" on campus due to her beautiful face and cold demeanor.
Lina was an orphan and was adopted by one of the academy's elders due to her exceptional talent.
Rose immediately composed herself and apologized to the teacher for causing a disturbance.
"Sorry."
She then looked at Dave as if to say, "I'll deal with you later."
Lina's beauty could be compared to Rose's, and her height was 175 cm.
She suddenly said, "It is forbidden to fight inside the room, so settle your grudges outside."
She looked at Dave with interest. The truth is, she had been in the room observing her students.
She was curious about this red-haired student she couldn't see through. He always wore a bored expression as if he didn't care about his surroundings.
She failed to gauge his strength since Dave only dodged and deflected Rose's attacks, but she was sure he was a genius.
She calmed herself and walked to the front, saying, "I'm your homeroom teacher, Lina Silvia."
Then, she looked at the students and said, "It's now your turn to introduce yourselves."
Dave, on the other hand, was ignoring the angry gaze of Rose beside him.
The only vacant seat remaining was beside him, so she had no choice but to sit there.
He silently observed Lina and checked her stats:
=====
Name: Lina Silvia
Age: 25
Race: Human
Power Level: Low Tier Emperor
Techniques: Ice Demon Fox Sword Technique
HP: 1500/1500
MP: 3500/3500
Str: 90
Agi: 120
Int: 125
DESCRIPTION: Curious.
=====
Dave was stunned to realize that the woman in front of him was an Emperor-level teacher.
With such power, she had the right to establish her own schools, sects, or academies where she could train and impart her skills to the next generation of martial artists, mages, or other practitioners.
She was young and already at the Emperor level.
"Hello, I am Lloyd from the Baron family."
"I am Gerome from the Armes family."
One by one, the students introduced themselves until it was time for Rose's turn.
Rose stood up, her face still showing her anger as she looked at Dave beside her.
She then addressed the students, "I don't need to introduce myself as you already know me, but I will just do it. My name is Rose Oragon, the 3rd princess of the Dragon Empire, and I am at a low-tier Grand Master level. You can just call me Rose when we are at school."
Everyone looked at her with admiration, while some were filled with fear.
She felt a surge of pride and then looked at Dave smugly.
Dave was amused by her smug demeanor but simply smiled and ignored it.
"Next, it's your turn," Rose said.
Dave stood up and looked at the students before he spoke.
"My name is Dave Alexander. I'm 15 years old."
After he said that, he sat back down and closed his eyes.
Being the son of the guardian, his status was even higher than that of the princess, which became clear to everyone present.
Now everyone knew why he wasn't scared of the princess; his status was even higher than hers.
Lina was also surprised by his introduction and finally understood why he always retained his calm demeanor.
Rose, on the other hand, felt fear. If her father knew she had attacked the son of the guardian, she would surely be punished.
'He is that Dave Alexander?'
Rose wanted to apologize to him, but her pride overwhelmed her. She looked again at Dave, who was beside her, still closing his eyes as if he didn't care about any of them.
