The Academy's Strongest Undercover Professor

Chapter 42 - 41 - Challenge

Never again.

I’m never going into that giant tube again.

What kind of transportation method is that?

It just made me want to puke...and I wasn’t the only one. 90% of my class was currently puking right as they landed at the end of the plastic tube. The only positive about this was that they hadn’t puked inside the tube.

Argh...imagine gliding down a vomit-covered slide. That sounds like actual hell because it probably was.

Still, after some time, the rest of the first years joined us, and we were about to go ahead and leave for the actual city. Because, at the moment, we were still on the outskirts, and there was one person who had been waiting for us.

It was a mermaid. I had never seen one in my entire life. But they existed. Though, that was the least strange part about all this. I thought that when I reached down there, I would be drowning until I died since we were basically underwater. But no, there is some sort of giant bubble around Atlantis that makes it possible to breathe.

It’s strange, I know, and I have no idea how they managed that, but it’s there.

The mermaid also had legs. I was only able to know she was one because she transformed right in front of us. Her mermaid tail changed into legs right in front of our eyes. And I had to admit, she was pretty, like...really pretty. She had long red hair that reached the lower end of her back, and her body was simply incredible.

She was wearing a bikini that revealed most of it, and it really was nice to look at, and I wasn’t shying away from looking at it.

Still, I had no choice but to stop looking at her as the other classes arrived one after another.

"Is everyone here?" She shouted for everyone to hear.

The professors all looked at one another and nodded. I spotted Ava in the process, as she had also come on the outing. However, she was keeping her distance; my guess was that it was because of her daughter since she had been acting very normal earlier when we were alone.

Her shyness from when I had first met was completely gone.

He held his hand forward, and I shook it. However, I made sure not to put too much strength in my grip since I didn’t want to break his hand.

"Nice to meet you, too. So, you’re also planning on joining that tournament."

"Yeah, I thought it’d be good training for my students." He stopped talking for a second as he took a step closer to me, whispering something in my ear. "Want to make a challenge against my class?"

I took a step back from him as he was honestly smelling terrible. Still, I heard what he had said as I just stared at him.

"You do know what class I’m in charge of, right?"

"Yes, yes, the Apex class, the strongest class of the Royal Academy. We both know that’s clearly a lie. My class is much stronger than yours."

"It is? What class are you even teaching?"

He clicked his tongue. "Isn’t it obvious? I’m teaching the summoning class!"

"Oh, that’s...cool."

Seeing my lack of reaction, he knew that he needed to keep this conversation going. So, he made things a little spicier.

"So, are you interested in a challenge? My class against yours. The class who places the highest in the tournament wins. Are you up for it?" Explore more at novelhall.Côm

I shrugged. "Sure." I didn’t see any reason why my class would lose when they were naturally better than his students. He was the one taking on risks right now. "Though, what happens to the one who loses?"

"Uh...let’s say that he can ask anything he wants to the other person one single time."

I nodded. It wasn’t a bad deal at all, especially since my victory was assured. I looked back, and my class was now riled up.
