Chapter 103: Ch 103: Senior Year Finance Department - Part 2

The obvious leader of the room asked Noah with a smile on his face, but his interest in Noah’s weak presence was clear.

Not only was everyone looking at him, but Noah could also feel the espers trying to probe his power to check what grade he was and whether they should try and seduce him.

’These fuckers! They were totally trying to feel me out. It’s a good thing I am an expert at hiding my class.’

Many of the seniors looked disappointed when Noah did not react to their attempts to check his grade. Most of them had realized that he was the rumored B-class guide that the academy had accepted.

Noah did not let it show on his face that he had noticed this. He kept his eyes on the leader, or rather, on the space in front of the leader.

After all, people such as this leader had egos, and most such people did not like it when someone lower than them looked at them for too long.

"Hey, you are supposed to answer me. Are you a first year?"

The leader asked once more, and Noah nodded to show that he understood.

"I am a first-year guide, Noah. I was sent here by our teacher with our budget assessment sheet. May I ask for yours as well so I can hand it in?"

Noah asked, and he took a brief glance at the man in front of him.

It was quite clear to him that the esper did not seem to believe what he had said.

"Oh! You are Noah? You have a nice face. Can you come closer so that I can take a look at your face?"

The senior asked, and Noah immediately wanted to tell him that he was not interested.

But of course, how could he say that to his senior? In such a position where Noah was faced with someone with a huge ego whom he could not mess with, he had no choice but to allow him to do what he wanted.

Noah stepped forward, but the senior let out a sigh, clearly getting impatient now. The senior snapped his fingers, and Noah felt an artifact’s presence surrounding him. It slowly circled his waist before snapping tightly around him and pulling him toward the senior.

"This looks so much better now. Don’t you agree? Now then, shall we have a talk with each other? I, for one, am interested in knowing more about you."

The senior let out a smile while he looked at Noah after placing a hand on his face and tilting his head toward the side.

’Does that senior think he is a big shot by pretending to act cool? Someone should tell him that he looks like a fool by doing this...’

But of course, no one wanted to stick their head out and be the bigger person by saying anything. And Noah had no intention of saying anything either.

In the end, he decided to just do as he was asked to, and he stepped forward until the senior could touch his face.

"Hmm, you truly are a B-class guide. What a pity. Your face was my type. But since you are a B-class guide, it cannot be helped. I will let you go."

The senior looked disappointed, but Kael breathed a sigh of relief at that news. He was sure that he could not have gotten better news.

’Now, if only this senior’s guide pair stopped looking at me like I stole his man, it would be so much better. Tsk, don’t you think I want to yell that I don’t need your man either?’

Sometimes, Noah wished he could break character and give people a piece of his mind. But since it was not his place, he did not do so.

Within a year, Alan would put all these seniors in their place for daring to mess with him and Daniel. There was no need for Noah to lift a finger.

"Sir, about that report..."

Noah tried to turn things back on track, but the senior kept his hand around Noah’s face, and his finger slowly traced Noah’s face.

"What’s the big deal here? You might not be my type in your guiding, but your face sure is. How about we have fun without guiding-"

"But our teacher is expecting me back soon. It might become an issue if I am not back soon. Professor Erin was supposed to take my test today along with Alan and his partner. Of course, my partner is expecting me back as well..."

Noah pretended to be uncertain and included Alan and Ethan in this mix along with Erin.

’I am sorry, Alan, Ethan, and Bluey. If possible, I don’t want to involve you either. But this is an emergency. I feel like I would end up committing murder if I stay here for too long.’

Of course, he was lying. But this was the most peaceful choice in order to get out of such a situation.

The seniors did not know too much about Ethan, but Alan was a well-known figure among the wealthy families. People knew not to mess with him even after Alan tried to hide his actual rank.

As for Erin, he was a professor and a new one. But Noah had already heard the rumors surrounding his situation. His young chick had started gaining a reputation, which made it hard for others to mess with him.

Noah noticed how the students flinched at his words before deciding that it was too much trouble to mess with him.

Sight

"On second thought, I guess it would be better if I allow you to head back now. Just wait a minute. I need to finish something in the report, and then you can take it back with you."

The senior told Noah, and true to his words, he actually did have the report ready soon.

Noah quickly grabbed it, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he made his way out and toward their teacher’s office.

He was going to hand this over and then disappear until he was needed anymore.

Unfortunately, he underestimated his teacher’s desire to make his life painful.
