And his excuse is always the same. I wonder if even Elucia-senpai will lose to the legendary ‘sacred beast’ excuse?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding students whispered amongst themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the person being confessed to, the waiting period before answering was pure agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single second stretched like an eternity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One second… two seconds…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three seconds…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She made it to three seconds!

This time, he took way longer to reject her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah… Senpai lasted a full five seconds.

Sorry, sensei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, then asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t think I’ve seen you around campus before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m the new biology teacher.

Of course not. He just didn’t feel like coming up with a better excuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder Aju likes you—you’ve been using him as a scapegoat since day one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But there’s one thing he wasn’t lying about—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He really was insanely popular with girls back in school.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon, who rarely spoke much with others, had somehow chatted quite a bit with this nosy teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he figured it was just curiosity on both their parts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well then, I’m heading to class, sensei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon gave a small nod and walked into the teaching building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser watched his retreating figure, narrowing her eyes slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So… this is your memory, huh…? Heh. Now I’m really going to enjoy playing with you, idiot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thursday – Last Period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon pulled out his textbook and flipped to the last section the teacher had covered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His notebook was filled with dense notes, some written in his own words to better understand the concepts, others emphasizing key points the teacher had stressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several lines were highlighted in red, marking the parts he still struggled with—ones he planned to review again tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The teacher for Alchemical Mechanics, Professor Robert, is on leave today. This period is Biology,\" the class president announced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students casually referred to it as Biology, but the full course name was \"Ecology of Dangerous Species\"—one of the core subjects in their curriculum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Biology…?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the subject name, Leon’s thoughts instantly drifted to the nosy teacher he met at noon in front of the school building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in that split second, as her silver-haired image flickered in his mind, Leon suddenly blinked forcefully and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch… weird…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t the kind of person to randomly daydream about pretty girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be precise, he never thought about things like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So why had he just thought about the new teacher, Melkvey…?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was momentarily lost in thought, the classroom door slowly opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp sound of heels tapping against the tile floor echoed with rhythmic precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon had his head down, flipping through his book, when he suddenly heard gasps from the other students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow… she’s gorgeous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is she really a teacher? She looks like an upperclassman from our school!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, does anyone know if teachers are allowed to enter the school beauty contest? If they are, I think she’s secured the top spot this year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his classmates' excited murmurs, Leon couldn't help but glance toward the podium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Melkvey-sensei?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he blurted out her name, he immediately felt sharp stares from every male student in class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You already rejected Elucia-senpai. Fine. But now you know the new teacher too?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sign up if you want to bash Casmod with a spiked club on the rooftop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon covered his face, resisting the urge to slap himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mouth…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why the hell did his mouth suddenly act on its own?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was he trying to prove, shouting out her name like that?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem. Alright, alright, class. If you have something to discuss, save it for after school,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser—now playing the role of Melkvey-sensei—lightly knocked on the blackboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Leon-kun says so, you may call me Melkvey. I am your new Ecology of Dangerous Species instructor.
