Facing the difficult problem, the Dragon King smirked.
In his ninety-nine reincarnations, the problems Mei used to test him were always the same few. Lucas already knew them by heart.
He walked onto the podium.
Picking up a piece of chalk, Lucas wrote furiously, deriving the solution on the blackboard even faster.
He had, in the past, directly stated the answer to show off.
However…
Mei didn't fall for that; she would directly ask— "Where's the process?"
To act like a master without saying a word, deriving the conclusion at the fastest speed.
Only then could Mei be surprised.
Raiden Mei and Bronya were stunned.
Seele bravely lifted her head, then slumped back down again. She didn't understand, absolutely didn't understand.
And Kiana?
Sorry, Paramecium had already shut down.
Amidst the crackling sound of chalk,
Lucas wrote out the answer just before the class bell rang.
"To be able to get the correct answer in such a short time, you are very good." Mei pushed up her glasses again, "In that case, you will be the mathematics committee member from now on."
Upon learning that it was indeed the correct answer,
All the Valkyries in the class gasped.
"Okay, Mathematics Teacher Mei."
Lucas readily agreed. Wasn't he putting himself out there precisely for this opportunity?
The Sleeping Red Tea was already within his grasp.
Mei looked down at the Valkyries.
"Does anyone have any objections? If not, our class's mathematics committee member will be the new student—Lucas."
"No objections."
A uniform sound came from below.
Lucas was so formidable that no one dared to object.
Mei nodded in satisfaction.
The class bell rang shortly after.
"Today's lesson ends here. Class dismissed." Mei looked at the man beside her, who was considerably taller than herself, "Remember to collect the homework I assigned last time and bring it to my office later."
With a flick of her purple hair in the air, Mei turned and left.
Sniffing the faint scent in the air, Lucas said, "Classmates, please hand in your math homework."
Facing the newly appointed mathematics committee member,
The Valkyries in the class had no resistance.
The former mathematics committee member was even the first to pull out her homework book and hand it to Lucas.
Losing a position wasn't bad at all.
Anyway, there was no salary for being a mathematics committee member.
Whoever wanted to do it could do it. The former mathematics committee member didn't even understand why Lucas wanted to do such a thing.
Was he idle? Or did he really want to contribute to the class?
If it was the latter,
Then it was truly admirable.
After collecting the Valkyries' homework, Lucas walked towards the Mathematics Teacher Mei's office.
As for his own homework?
St. Freya Academy only had four theory classes each day.
Five days meant twenty classes, exactly ten theory courses, with each teacher having only two lessons per week.
Today was the first math class of the week, and it was for collecting last week's math homework.
At that time, Lucas had not yet joined this big family...
Naturally, he didn't need to hand in any homework.
Carrying a stack of homework books, Lucas quickly arrived at the Mathematics Teacher's office and knocked on the door.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
"Come in," Mei, who was sitting at her desk, said softly.
Lucas pushed the door open, glanced at the woman who was drinking tea, and then placed the homework books on the table.
The Mathematics Teacher was in the office.
This was not a good thing.
Lucas had to get Mei to leave; otherwise, it would be difficult to steal the Sleeping Red Tea.
"Is there anything else?"
Mei smiled, looking at the student who remained standing.
Lucas feigned hesitation and said, "Mathematics Teacher Mei, I think I just heard someone calling you outside."
"Hmm? Is that so?"
Mei paused, a puzzled expression on her delicate face; she hadn't heard anyone call her.
Lucas rubbed his chin.
"I'm not sure either; maybe I misheard."
"Then I'll go out and take a look."
Mei rose from her soft executive chair, stepping out with her rounded legs clad in black stockings, and walked towards the door.
St. Freya Academy's treatment of its teachers was quite good.
Especially for S-Class Valkyrie teachers like Mei, a private office was standard, not only spacious but also equipped with air conditioning, bookshelves, a water dispenser, and other amenities.
Seeing Mei walk out of the office,
Lucas immediately looked at the desk drawer; the Sleeping Red Tea was inside.
To avoid arousing suspicion,
Lucas opened the drawer and only took a small pinch of tea leaves from the tea caddy containing the Sleeping Red Tea, then hid them in his pocket.
Looking at the pink pills nearby,
After thinking for a moment, Lucas also casually took two aphrodisiac pills and cleaned up the scene.
He had just finished all this when Mei returned.
"No one called me outside."
Mei pressed her temples.
Lucas chuckled.
"It seems I really misheard, Mathematics Teacher Mei. Then I won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye."
With that, Lucas immediately turned and left.
Mei looked at the man's retreating back with a puzzled expression, thinking, "What is this kid up to?"
The Mathematics Teacher was already suspicious.
Lucas didn't care; after all, he would only use this method once in each reincarnation.
Because...
The same trick was unlikely to work a second time on a Valkyrie.
Having achieved his goal, Lucas secretly clenched his fist.
"Wait for me, Bronya, your undefeated emperor is about to return."
"But I shouldn't celebrate too early."
"I've provoked Mei now. If nothing unexpected happens, she will start delivering takeaways tonight..."
Returning to the classroom, Lucas plopped down onto his chair.
Mei was a very dangerous Valkyrie.
This had been mentioned a long time ago.
However...
If Lucas didn't actively provoke her, Mei wouldn't bring danger.
But today, to steal the Sleeping Red Tea,
Someone who actively became the math committee member undoubtedly caught Mei's attention. From midnight tonight, she would wander around St. Freya Academy with the late-night snacks she made.
Once Lucas was caught, he would be forced to eat the late-night snacks.
Actually,
Mei's late-night snacks weren't entirely fatal.
Sometimes, eating them could even make one burst with vitality, increase strength, or boost speed in a short period, and even directly increase true qi capacity.
Unfortunately, in most cases, eating Mei's late-night snacks would lead to various negative buffs.
Diarrhea, uncontrollable laughter, bleeding from seven orifices, estrus, etc...
In a game,
Mei would definitely be that kind of wild monster that gives random buffs.
Lucky players could try their luck more often.
But for someone as unlucky as Lucas, it was out of the question; he would die four out of five times.
Who could handle that?
There was a time when...
Lucas even mistook Mei, who delivered late-night snacks, for Raiden Mei, only to realize later that it was a misunderstanding.
The Cook's late-night snacks were fine.
The problem was Mei's.
There was nothing much to discuss about the next three theory classes.
Time flew by, and soon it was night again.
After the twelve o'clock drum sounded...
Lucas didn't waste time this time. He got his equipment ready and, before the Night Valkyries had even set out,
He arrived at the center of the Maze Garden early.
Raiden Mei hadn't arrived yet.
Lucas stood under the moonlight, quietly admiring the beautiful night scene.
