The Bored Immortal

Viktor raised one of his brows as he asked, "Oh? And why should I? You can barely run 100 meters without taking a break, heh."

"That's not fair! You gave Sayana the chance to participate, and I know you like me. So you should give me one too!" Tiana said directly as she stood before him with crossed arms.

Viktor couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Haha…I like you? You really know how to flatter yourself. You are annoyingly cute. That I can admit."

'Annoyingly cute? What does he mean by that? Does he like me or not?' Tiana became incredibly confused and flustered hearing these two words from him, wondering whether it was a compliment or not, 'Bah! Why do I care about his opinion? Hmph!'

Viktor hadn't finished, "But to like you, then I should hit my head on a wall first. Besides, I don't see any rule written where you should get whatever Sayana gets. She earned it. Whereas what skills or talents do you have to prove yourself?"

Tiana firmly pressed her lips together, feeling frustrated and speechless while quickly thinking of what she was good at.

Of course, she was good at esports, but it wasn't something that would be conducted for this upcoming college fest.

"Yes! I indeed am good at something!" Tiana excitedly called out as her eyes sparkled upon remembering something.

"Really? And what might princess be talented at?" Viktor sarcastically asked, though inwardly, he wanted her to be competitive like this and do something to improve herself instead of wasting her potential.

"I am good with guns! I mean, I have a pretty good aim at anything I throw, and my reflexes are quite excellent, and this is not me trying to brag or anything. You can even see for yourself," Tiana confidently said as she grabbed a pen from his table and threw it towards the other side of the room after just taking a moment to aim.

Viktor moved his gaze as he followed the pen flying towards the other side of the room and saw it fall right into the pen holder kept on a shelf that was attached to the wall.

'Whoa…she can do that?' Viktor had to admit he was impressed by how she precisely threw the pen right into the small pen holder without even taking much time to aim.

"See that?! Am I not good at this??" Tiana asked with a smug smile but was disappointed upon seeing Lucien's poker face.

"Well, you are good at throwing stuff. That I admit. But using guns and aiming them is much more than just throwing around pens," Viktor said as he rubbed his ring finger.

"I am serious!" Tiana raised her fists as if she wanted to fist this bad teacher for messing with her like this.

"Fine, then. I can give you a chance and include you on the list for the pistol tournament. But just like Sayana, you would have to first defeat your college mates to qualify to the next stage," Viktor stated.

"That I can manage. But…you have to train me!" Tiana said with pinched lips, making Viktor caress his hair and ask, "And why should I?"

"Because you are training Saya too. So it's only fair that you also teach me by fulfilling your responsibility as a teacher. Without a trainer or a coach, how am I supposed to have more confidence?" Tiana said as if expressing genuine concern.

"And here I thought you were a genius. Anyways, since I am your teacher, you do indeed have a point. But…how did you know that I even know how to handle guns or qualified enough to teach you those things?" Viktor skeptically asked.

Tiana shrugged with a cheeky smile as she said, "I don't know. It was just a feeling. Besides, if you weren't qualified enough, how would you even become the PE teacher of such a prestigious college?"

"Well, you are more clever than you look," Viktor said with a sarcastic chuckle.

"Hey! What does that mean? I am not dumb!" Tiana wrinkled her nose in exasperation and continued as she smugly flipped her hair backward, "In fact, I did an IQ test a few years ago, and it showed that I had a 179 IQ. I bet even teach wouldn't have such a high IQ like mine."

"Are you mocking your teacher?" Viktor asked in a hard tone as he suddenly stepped closer to her and made her back press against the table, cornering her.

Tiana felt her breath quicken upon him coming near her at such close proximity, and the way his tone suddenly changed made her mind go blank, "N-No. Of course, not! I don't even remember mentioning your name. Teach must have misunderstood…"

Tiana had no idea why she always gets intimidated like this before him. But seeing his intense gaze lingering on her, she couldn't help but feel naked in situations like this.

"Hmm, it's good you remember how to talk to your teachers. As for you having 179 IQ, I guess we will find out someday for sure. Now, get back to your class and report at the indoor sports hall at 4 PM," Viktor said as he stepped back and walked towards his chair.

Tiana had a confused look, "Huh? But that is the time you told Saya to come for training. How—"

"You don't have to worry about such unnecessary things. I am the best PE teacher you are ever going to see, and that also means that I am more than capable enough of teaching you both at the same time," Viktor confidently said as he laid back on his chair with his feet resting on the table.

'Hmph, if he keeps bragging like this, he might get first prize for bragging,' Tiana inwardly harrumphed and, for some reason, she felt disappointed that she won't be alone.

"Fine! I will be there," Tiana said with pursed lips as she turned around and was about to walk out of the office when Lucien called out from behind, "Wait!"

"What is it now?" Tiana asked as she stopped walking with her hand on the door handle.

"I might have said this before. But next time you face any troubles or problems like Priscila, then you have to let me know first. Don't keep things to yourself no matter what. Do you understand?"

"Hmph, why do you care so much?" Tiana asked casually without turning her head around, though inwardly, she was experiencing a mixture of emotions.

"Because you are my student."

"So you would do this for everyone?" Tiana asked, her tone a bit disappointed.

Viktor smiled as he said, "Only bad girls like you need close attention from me, and so I have no choice but to care about you."

Tiana's lips slowly arched into a soft yet pure smile which was probably the first time she even smiled like this. Yet, Viktor didn't see such a rare sight due to her head facing the door.

"I will keep that in mind," Tiana said in her usual snappy tone as she walked out of his office.

*Ting!*

Suddenly, Viktor got a message on his phone, and when he opened it, he raised his brows.
