The Academy's Strongest Undercover Professor

Chapter 14: Chapter 13 - Angry

Even with Ava between the two of us, Derek walked forward. In fact, because of Ava's interference, he looked even more furious with each step he took.

"Why are you protecting him?" Derek clenched his fists. "You don't even know him."

She just glared at him, her palm stretched out to stop him.

I wasn't a genius, but I could tell that the two of them hated each other. At least...Ava did. Derek seemed conflicted, maybe he had a little crush...

Seeing the tension between the two professors, I decided to watch what would happen next. I wasn't rushed by time, and this was actually quite entertaining, so I just stood there.

"You never tried to protect another professor in the past, so why are you starting now?"

His intentions were so evident as he glanced at me while uttering those words. He wanted to beat me up, so I decided to tease him a little.

I gave him a little smile and waved at him.

It might not look like much, but it had an instant effect as he pushed Ava's arm out of his way.

He disappeared from my sight and reappeared right in front of me. However, he didn't try to attack me, he just pointed at me.

"Come with me. It's time for your test."

...what role should I play today? The scared professor? Yeah, let's go with that.

"I-I, there's a test?!"

He laughed. "Not acting all smug now that I'm in front of you, huh?"

I took a quick look at him. His muscles were quite big, and he had a dagger around his waist. He had a few scars on his arms... the man had gone through a few things, that's for sure.

"Quick question." I said it so suddenly that he had already turned his back. He turned to face me again.

"What?"

"Did you participate in the war against the Demons?"

He laughed. "I'm not a barbaric moron. Of course not."

There was this glint in his eyes as he said those words. He was trying to provoke me, but when he saw that I didn't react, he sighed. I guess I wasn't as fun as he had expected.

Still, insulting the people who went to fight for you wasn't something I could let go so easily.

I didn't show it on my face, but I was fuming. I was part of those who saved this world of yours. The least you can do is say thank you and bow your head.

I kept my smile and said, "Oh, I thought you did because of all those scars on your face. I guess you're really just trash, you didn't even need to face demons to receive scars." I laughed as loudly as I could. "Do you even have the qualifications to be teaching at this school?"

People could talk about whatever they wanted, but making fun of the people who died with me at the front lines wasn't one of them. Those who had done that in the past couldn't speak anymore, either their tongue had been cut off, or their head had been cut off.

However, I was in a good mood today, and more importantly, I was supposed to be undercover.

Gritting his teeth, he looked me dead in the eyes. "Oh, you were one of those barbaric morons, huh? Probably a commoner, your father sold you to make some money, is that it?"

I just scoffed. There was no point in talking about this any further.

"Let's go do that test of yours."

I glanced at Ava out of the corner of my eye, and she seemed pretty worried for me. After all, I didn't quite have the physique of a fighter. I was lean, and my muscles weren't as big as his. However, the size of your muscles doesn't mean shit, it's the strength within them.

As Derek started walking toward the exit of the laboratory, I walked over to Ava.

"You should go tell Alexandra to come watch our little test. I'm sure she'll appreciate the sight."

Actually, I got another idea while uttering those words.

***

Things had been delayed a little because I wanted everyone to arrive before the fight started. I wanted to humiliate the man in front of me, and I wanted everyone to see it.

"Why'd you bring a student to watch our fight?" Derek asked, standing on the other side of the platform, playing with his dagger.

Yes, I went to get Darla and brought her here. I wanted her to watch me fight; she might learn a thing or two.

"I'm her professor, I want her to learn how to defend herself."

He couldn't help but giggle. "Defend? You wanted her to see you get beaten up to a pulp? Weird teaching method you got there."

I just scoffed before turning to Darla. I thought she might have been nervous about me fighting someone. But she just sat there with a smile, either she didn't care if I got beaten up, or she was so confident in me that she wasn't worried.

Nevertheless, there was only one person missing right now, the director.

-Swoosh!-

Perfect timing!

Right as I thought of her, she entered the duel arena. However, she didn't look too happy. Behind her was her secretary and Ava, both with worried expressions.

She looked dashing as she walked in, wearing high heels making her breasts move up and down with every step she took. The angry look on her face made her even more attractive to me.

"DEREK!" She shouted as soon as she entered. "Get off this platform right now."

Derek just turned toward Alexandra with the same smile as earlier. It seemed he was used to being shouted at as he had no reactions whatsoever.

"I'm just doing a friendly duel against my friend over there." He pointed at me. "Isn't that right?"

I nodded and turned my head toward the director.

"He's right. It's just a friendly little fight...just sit down and enjoy the show!"
