LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 21 Interrogation
There was no suspense. Dematero and Jimmy, who were chatting happily, were caught red-handed by Emmanuel as typical examples of not taking self-study seriously!
Once this old teacher set his sights on his target, he strode into the classroom through the back door like a shooting star. The noisy classroom instantly fell silent!
Emmanuel first tapped on Jimmy's desk, making him stand up and leave the classroom.
Then, with a fierce look, he viciously pinched Dematero's neck from behind, like catching a chick. Of course, he didn't apply real force, but with his grimacing expression, the other students in the class felt a sense of sympathy, though some secretly enjoyed the spectacle, finding it entertaining.
Dematero, being pinched on the neck, was naturally also called out of the classroom. Obviously, Emmanuel was going to unleash his "terror" mode and sternly reprimand these two boys who didn't follow the self-study discipline.
As Emmanuel entered from the back of the classroom, Xanthia, who was reading comics, was also caught off guard. She calmly put away her comic magazine only after Dematero was caught, then took out a literary masterpiece unique to this parallel world and started reading it naturally and calmly.
It was somewhat regrettable that the joy she derived from reading the masterpiece was far less than the entertainment provided by comics.
Classics are classics for a reason—they are usually profound and require patience to read, unlike comics which offer mindless fun.
Nevertheless, she felt she should maintain appearances, even if she had a strong background. As a high school student, she couldn't afford to be too arrogant.
Emmanuel obviously noticed Xanthia's actions. His gaze sharpened momentarily, as if he wanted to confiscate her comic magazine the next second. However, he ultimately chose to ignore her. He had long given up on Xanthia, considering her as a "hopeless case" of a privileged student.
However, this scene was caught by Jimmy, who was already waiting at the classroom door, ready to accept reprimand. He suddenly felt extremely displeased, and negative emotions exploded—
Why does this hypocritical Emmanuel have such double standards?
Why is this world so unfair?
At this moment, Xanthia unexpectedly gained another "pain value" from Jimmy, even though she didn't directly cause his negative emotions. Nevertheless, she did play a part in the process.
Determining whether she played a part is quite simple: if Xanthia were replaced by another student, and Emmanuel found them secretly reading comics, a completely unhelpful material for studying, that student would definitely have their magazine confiscated and be called out of the classroom for reprimand.
When Emmanuel gets angry, even girls get scolded harshly to the point of tears. In fact, his willingness to scold a student is because he believes that student still has educational value. As for someone like Xanthia, he simply chooses to ignore her. She has already mastered the art of being born lucky in this world, so what is there to worry about?
"Dematero, why did you turn around during self-study to talk to Jimmy?" In the corridor of the classroom, Emmanuel asked coldly with his thin and sharp voice, resembling that of a terrorist right before a live execution.
When facing other teachers, Dematero dared to smile, but in front of this stern class teacher, he sincerely admitted his mistake and supressing his fears, with a very serious attitude, "Teacher Emmanuel, I was wrong! I got tired of doing homework suddenly, so I couldn't resist chatting with Jimmy to relax..."
