CH-14 Name; Mia white... but call me Iris hope

"Hey there! Who do we have here? Aren't you the one… the same rabbit tricked a dragon like us yesterday and ran away like a rat?" The girl in the young master's group covered her face as she tried to provoke me.

'So, is nobody going to lend me a hand?' I noticed everyone was staring at me with entertainment… Expect Amelia, who was actually dozing off with her head down.

The room was commodious, with a bench marshal resembling a mountain shape type, and the second bench was higher than the first.

Amelia was seated at the back, on the last bench, Eyes shut tight as she was… sleeping.

"Heh!" Why was I bothering to care or expect assistance from her? That piqued my interest but… I don't need anyone's help.

"Tehehe~" I shot a glare at that girl, who blinked in confusion like a student in class. Hmph, maybe this group thinks they're top-notch nobles or something perhaps they are; I couldn't care less.

"It's the first time I've heard some brats praising their own group of jokers or... well, you know, I mean bit-"

—Slap!

"How dare you say that!"

A hand landed on my cheek, though it was from another girl in the group. Alright, young lady, I'll get my payback, but not just yet, because your clique will soon face corollary...

"What's going on in my classroom?" A teacher said, most likely standing on the gate with several other figures.

I didn't dare to glance up as my her was down with red cheek; they were behind me, and my expression was obscured by golden hair, which was now draping over my face.

"..." The girl who slapped me was pale and terrified, and the entire class fell silent, avoiding the teacher's eyes, knowing very well that girl had made a fucked up.

At Apex campus, Teachers don't care about someone's noble status. Here, everyone is treated equally, and those who break the rules and laws will face either a hefty penalty or a suspension notice.

"Go back to your seats!" the teacher said coldly. Surprised me a little.

[Master, The plan failed… It was not rumors I know off.] She panicked and found out I took the assault international as a little plan because I was greased and able to detect they were coming.

'Let's see~~ If the teacher didn't do anything to scold them… or not… I will do something personally but in a more painful way.' I walked on the last bench and sat down on the window side since it was available only.

Amelia was on the other bench's opposite side as it was long and two students were sitting between us.

"What is happening?" She yawned, headed up and looked where the teacher was.

"Attention, the first five among you!" A figure with azure locks and obsidian eyes fixed their gaze upon the batch of young masters. "... Kindly convene with me in the student council room after break. And regarding you, the new student... Eh!"

"Why does she seem familiar?" Upon locking eyes with her, it was my first unconscious thought.

My heart squeezed tightly upon seeing her, incontestable in the moistness of her eyes, As she immediately regained her neutral composure.

Only the teacher and I seemed to intimation those emotions. Others might have discerned it with closer look, but my blandishment was elsewhere… Yes, to fiddle this unexpected opportunity.

"Yes, ma'am?" I responded with an innocent blink like a compliant pup.

"Ah, it's nothing. I'm Ely White, the President of the student council." Ely's voice carried a soft tone tinged with melancholy, only I knew of. "Please join me at the student council during break time as well."

"Huh! Oh... alright. But ma'am, We were just playing around." I nodded, thougi narrow my eyes at her surname. The body's previous occupant was known as Mia White.

Both individuals share the same last name yet this person doesn't seem to be present in Mia's memories.

"... Okay… In any case, I'm here for you all to provide an update: I've disseminated a book set of regulations governing rules within our campus."

Ely addressed the group, her gaze fixating on the girl who had slapped me. "Assaulting someone based on their social standing is strictly prohibited."

"But should you feel the urge, you're welcome to issue a challenge to another individual. Once the opponent accepts, you're permitted to intermesh in a duel, provided it doesn't result in fatal consequences like killing."

"Now, as a pivotal law of our institution: the use of noble titles comes with a steep penalty. Offenders will be forced to pay a fine of 10 lakhs gold coins and face a two-week suspension from campus."

A flush of crimson hue leaked from her as she declared, "If anyone tries to defy our laws... I will ensure that you regret it for the rest of your life. Even the teacher or principal will be inadequate to shield you from my fury. Do you understand the severity of my warning?"

"Yes, Maam!" Everyone shivered, As they shouted and saluted, unlike me and Amelia Purport her bloodlust who was not affected. Argh, But I have to act like a scared cat…

"Understood. Wishing you a pleasant day." Ely exited the room while leaving a parting remark, "Remember, punctuality is key, all six of you."

"..." silence… Nobody had courage to speak, As teacher stood behind the speech desk.

—Ehem!

"My name is Gwen shine. Your homeroom teacher for the next seven years until you graduate." Our teacher cleared her throat. She was like a computer teacher, A beautiful one, I don't know her Cultivation realms.

"Fascinating." A smirk playing at the corners of my lips.

"As we'll be a family for the next few years, let's take the first class to introduce ourselves." Gwen suggested with a charming smile that made both boys and girls's hearts flutter.

"Yes, Madam!" This came to unanimous agreement as everyone took turns introducing themselves one by one.

"I'm Xen."

"Steve here, pleasure to meet you all."

"... Amelia Harper."

It didn't take long until it was my turn. Heh... It's intriguing to observe everyone's reactions, but I felt like introducing myself using the previous owner's name for a particular reason.

Standing up, I placed my hand on my chest in a professional manner. "While my given name at birth was Mia White but some circumstances shepherded me to leave my family behind in the past. Therefore, I kindly request to be called Iris Hope."
