Chapter 262 Shall we go now?

"Now get on your knees and rub your nose on the ground, Candice Water."

Nux ordered coldly.

Candice lowered her head in shame and her body started trembling.

The Silent Battle Hall did not help her either,

She knew everyone was looking forward to her fall from grace, however, there was nothing she could do about it.

She knows that the longer she stalls, the more unbearable it will get.

Candice then forced her trembling body to move, then, she placed her knees on the ground and then, she glanced at Nux.

Honestly, she was still hoping that he would stop her…

Maybe he has a secret crush on her, maybe he took pity on her, maybe he doesn't like what she was going to do,

Anything.

Anything random reason was okay.

However, what she saw was nothing but an expressionless look that had no signs of discomfort.

"I do not have all day." And as if taking away her last hopes, Nux spoke.

Candice's body trembled even more and then, she lowered her head.

Her tears fell on the ground and then, her nose touched the ground.

"I…I apologize f-for m-my actions…"

Saying that, Candice rubbed her nose on the ground while her body continued to tremble in shame and anger.

"…"

Then, she waited for Nux's reply.

She did her part, she just wanted to end everything now.

She didn't even dare to look around, she didn't need to look, she could feel those smirks on the faces of students.

Those smirks of the people who used to praise her as their Queen stabbed her body with immense pain and anger.

Nux then turned his head towards the audience, and then his eyes fell on Royce.

He nodded at Royce and the boy nodded back.

Then, he turned around and walked away.

Yes, he did not answer Candice, he didn't care about that bitch one bit.

He left her alone.

Candice's body trembled even more, however, she didn't say anything.

She was too ashamed to do anything.

"Wait."

However, just as Nux was about to leave the Battle Hall, Arvina called.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Teacher Arvina?" Nux questioned with a smile on his face.

Arvina then turned towards Candice and instructed.

"This is enough, you can stand up now."

Candice nodded and stood up as quickly as possible.

Then, as if trying to avoid all eyes looking and gloating at her, she walked towards Arvina and stood behind her.

Arvina then turned towards Nux,

"You must be tired after your fight-"

"No, not really, she didn't really pose any challenge."

Nux shook his head and shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.

"You must be tired after your fight with Candice, therefore, I won't say anything to you today. However, 2 days later, I want you to come to my office.

Is that clear?" Arvina questioned.

Hearing her words, Candice's eyes brightened in joy.

'Is she going to take revenge for me?'

She thought inwardly and rejoiced, however, soon, she shook her head.

'There is no way Teacher is going to do something like that.'

Nux didn't break any rules today, and Arvina was the last person to show favouritism.

Candice knows her teacher well, there is no way she would take her side in this incident.

Then, Candice frowned,

'Why is she calling him to his office then?'

Nux had the same question in his mind,

"Can I know what it is for, Teacher Arvina?" he questioned.

"Are you scared that I will act against you for the sake of my student?" Arvina questioned with a provocative smile.

"No, not really. I have heard about you, Teacher Arvina, you are an honest and just person." Nux shook his head.

"Rumours can be wrong, you know?"

"I trust my source of information." Nux smiled and then, he continued,

"Of course, if I am wrong and you actually do want to take action against me, I can't really do anything to defend myself now, can I?

I am just a powerless commoner after all."

A small smile appeared on Arvina's face when she heard Nux's reply.

"Alright, enough chit-chat.

I want you in my office 2 days later, is that clear?"

"Yes, teacher."

Nux nodded.

Arvina nodded and then, she turned around and left. Candice, of course, followed behind her.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

There were a lot of things in her mind right now.

Also, this was the only place that can save her from immense shame, for now at least.

Nux then walked away as well however, just as he left the Battle Hall, he saw Evane standing right in front of him.

"Teacher Evane, I won." He smiled.

"I saw.

I can't believe you actually did it." Evane smiled.

"Hehe~ I told you right?

It was a walk in the park." Nux chuckled and Evane couldn't help but shake her head.

"You do realize what you have done, right?"

"Heh. I defeated the Queen of the Academy." Nux answered.

"That is true, however, that is not the most surprising part,

You defeated a Master Stage Cultivator while being an Advance Stage Cultivator…

Nothing like this has ever happened before.

You have created history!"

"It was not like it was an actual fight though, we didn't use skills."

Nux shrugged.

Of course, staying humble is the best way to garden as many compliments as one can.

Ahem.

"It doesn't matter! You defeated a Master Stage Cultivator! This is worth celebrating!" Evane exclaimed in joy.

"Heehh? Teacher Evane, then are you treating me for food?"

"Aren't you the one who won? Shouldn't you be the one to treat your teacher here?" Evane questioned.

"Alright, I'll treat you, Teacher Evane." Nux nodded.

"Oh? Really?"

"You think I would go back to my words?" Nux questioned.

"Don't regret it then."

"Heh. I won't." Nux nodded.

"Alright, then let's call the rest of your classmat-"

"Huh? When did I say I will treat them as well?" Nux questioned.

"Huh? They are your classmates, are they not?" Evane frowned.

"They are, but they are not my favourite teacher," Nux then moved his face close to Evane and whispered.

"Teacher Evane, this offer is exclusive for you and you only~"

For some reason, a tinge of red appeared on Evane's face.

Nux then extended his hands towards her and smiled,

"Shall we go now?"

"A-Alright."
