Ethan?Reyna recognized the other party.
Ethan's full name was Ethan Soar. It was a mystery how someone with such a nice name, ended up with such an ugly face.
He had joined the academy at the same time as Reyna. As colleagues who joined together, Ethan had come to make acquaintances with Reyna having ulterior motives but she noticed it from the beginning and didn't spare him a glance.
For someone so proud, being rejected by a woman, it was better he killed himself.
Ethan began making things difficult for Reyna in the little ways he could. Reyna failing the TeachersGrade Examination gave him more leverage to disgrace her whenever he found an opportunity.
The previous host of the body couldn't handle humiliation, and Ethan had played a major part in pushing her to drink herself to death.
Todays the day the freshmen pick their teachers, right? Hows your recruitment going? Judging by the fact that youre relaxed enough to eat, it must be going smoothly. Look, these are the twelve students Ive just taken in. I brought them here for a meal before escorting them to their dorms.
Ethan cast Reyna condescending glance. With a smug expression, he proudly motioned to the group of students behind him, flaunting his success.
The students following behind him stared at Reyna, fascinated by her beauty at first.
Everyone, let me do the introduction. This is Miss Reyna Vox, a celebrity teacher in our school. The first to ever score a zero in the Teachers' Grading Examination ever since the inception of our school.
Ethan introduced to the crowd.
Zero in the Teachers' Grade Exam?!
Yeah, I've heard about her, she's the weakest in the academy!
They say she's yet to awaken her bloodline! How could the school accept such a trash teacher?!
To think she's the teacher everyone is talking about. I didn't expect her to have such a beautiful face!
***
Hearing Reyna's background story, a commotion broke out in the canteen.
The score for the Grade Exam was determined through evaluating various aspects of the teacher, their knowledge, cultivation, bloodline, powers, efficacy in teaching and all that.
Virtually everyone had a bloodline, cultivation, power that awakened with their bloodline. All that was left was knowledge and efficacy in teaching which would develop over time. So scoring a zero truly was an outstanding feat.
Are you done with your introduction?
Facing Ethan's ridicule, Reyna was totally unaffected.
The one who scored zero marks was the previous Reyna Vox, so what did it have to do with her?
Although she wasn't angry, Ethan's character had gotten on her nerves. Right now his ugly face looks uglier than before. If you're done, you can beat it, don't disrupt my lunch!.
Ethan thought Reyna would shrink back in shame once her past was exposed. But instead of reacting with embarrassment, she stayed calm and even told him to get lost. Ethan's expression instantly darkened. He threw his arm back and, adopting the commanding tone of a teacher, and rebuked her, "Scoring zero on the TeachersGrade Exam and setting the academy's lowest record, dont you feel any shame?!"
"Shame? Why would I feel ashamed?"Reyna replied. "You just said it yourself, I set a record. Thanks to that, every new student on campus knows who I am. But what about you?"
As she spoke, Reyna raised her hand and gestured toward the students behind Ethan.
"Do those students even know what your exam score was? Had they ever heard your name before arriving at the academy? If you hadn't been so persistent, going as far as treating them to meals, do you really think they'd accept you as their teacher? You're practically unknown, yet you still have the nerve to show off in front of me? What exactly are you so proud of?"
"Ah!"
Had it been someone else who scored zero on the TeachersGrade Exam, they wouldve hung their head in shame, avoiding the public eye in order to escape humiliation. But this lady was completely different. She seemed delighted by it and actually took pride in her failure. To make it worse, she even looked down on Ethan for not getting a zero!
Ethan was fuming.
"This girl is so annoying! How could she expose the fact that I brought these kids to eat in order to coax them to accept me as their teacher? And in front of so many people at that?!
You..! You trash..! Ethan nearly foamed in his mouth. "If you're as great as you say, get up, let's exchange pointers, so you can enlighten me on my flaws!
Teachers in the academy from time to time, would spar in order to assess each other's abilities. Such spars usually attracted the attention of a large number of students and teachers often used it to boost their morale and reputation. But such spars were usually between teachers of equal strength and skill.
Boom!
Ethan released his cultivation. The pressure emanated from him was like a boulder pressing on everyone around him. Demonic mist swirled in the air.
Fighter 4-dan, body tempering stage!
Everyone present gasped.
Surely Reyna was doomed. It wasn't news that her cultivation was so and so, plus she hadn't awakened her bloodline. On the other hand, Ethan was a full fledged demon with a powerful cultivation, the result of this fight was clear from the start.
