Chapter 244 - Are you that Candice Water!?
“It’s Lady Candice!” (Picture in Paragraph comments)
“Wow, why is she in our class?”
“Who knows? But we sure are lucky today, aren’t we?”
Female and male students alike, all of them glanced at Candice as their eyes shined brightly.
Even Anna wasn’t any different,
“Why is Lady Candice here?” She wondered inwardly just like every other student.
Candice, however, completely ignored these murmurs and looked around.
“Who is Nux Leander?” She questioned.
Nux, however, did not answer.
Of course, him answering or not did not matter.
There were countless people in the class who wanted to get into Candice’s good books.
“He, he is Nux Leander.” One of the boys pointed at Nux.
Candice then turned towards Nux and observed him closely,
“Are you Nux Leander?”
A small smile then appeared on Nux’s face as he answered,
“Girl, I think we should get to know each other first. I understand that I am handsome and all, but think about all this from my perspective, I do not even know who you are.
How can I accept your proposal?
I think we should start by being friends.”
“…” Candice Waters turned silent.
“…”
“…”
“…”
The whole class turned silent as well.
Candice, who couldn’t believe her ears questioned,
“W-What did you say?”
“Oh C’mon, don’t act like you are heartbroken.
I am not rejecting your love, I just said that we should get to know each other.”
“You think I am here to confess my love to you?” Candice questioned.
“I mean, isn’t that the only reason you would approach me for? I don’t know who you are, we have never met before, so I believe the only logical conclusion is that you somehow saw me and were entranced by my good-looking face. Then you couldn’t control yourself and came to me to confess your love and give yourself to me.
Oh, and don’t be too embarrassed, it is not the first time something like this has happened, although other women weren’t as bold as you to barge in directly into my class, they still proposed to me when I was alone.
So don’t worry, you are not alone.” Nux answered and then calmed her down with a gentle smile on his face.
He was an Expert in knowing how to win a girl’s heart.
However, his magic did not seem to have worked on Candice as her eyes turned cold and she questioned.
“Do you even know who you are talking to?”
“Are you the daughter of the King?” Nux questioned with a smile.
“Huh? No, of course not.”
“Daughter of the Academy’s Head Master?”
“No.”
“Daughter of the General of the Skyfall Kingdom?”
“…No”
“Any of the Dukes?”
“…No I am not.”
“A Marquee?”
“Yes,”
“I see.” Nux nodded and then, he frowned.
“If you are just a daughter of a mere Marquee, then how the fuck am I supposed to know who you are?”
“…”
Again, the entire class turned silent.
‘Where the fuck do you get the confidence of saying that when you yourself are nothing but a commoner?’
Some of the students thought inside their minds and cursed.
“My name is Candice Water, Decade Three, Prodigy Class.”
Candice calmed herself down and introduced herself.
She didn’t share the name of her father or her noble rank when she introduced herself.
Her message was clear,
I do not need to be a Daughter of a Marquee to be someone special. Everyone else knows me here by my name, because of who I am, not because of my status.
A commendable way of thinking, however,
Nux just didn’t care.
“Nux Leander, a commoner and an orphan.”
‘One really needs high-level guts to introduce yourself as a commoner after acting like that…’ The students couldn’t help but comment.
‘Arrogant fucker.’
‘Know your place, commoner.’
All the students, especially boys started cursing Nux in their hearts.
“Are you the one who assaulted Myrill Bourkee yesterday?” Candice questioned.
“Are you here for that incident?” Nux questioned.
Inside his head, he was patting himself for working so hard.
Attacking and bullying Myrill was satisfying, but he didn’t do it just because he wanted fun.
His main target was Candide Waters.
Candice Water is known to be someone who is very overprotective of her subordinates.
Therefore, bullying Myrill was a straight challenge to Candice.
She had to come here.
And that is what Nux needed.
As to why he is targetting Candice, heh…
He had his reasons.
“Yes,” Candice nodded.
“Hmm… Ah wait! Are you that Candice Water!?” suddenly, Nux’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Do you recognise me now?” Candice questioned with a small, satisfied smile on her face.
“No. Never heard of someone like that in my entire life.”
Nux then shook his head and Candice’s face twitched in frustration.
“So are you a Decade Three student?” Nux questioned.
“Yes, I am.”
“Ahh, then you must be new in this Academy just like me.
I am sorry to tell you, but this is Decade Two, Prodigy Class.
To get to Decade Three, you walk out of this classroom, then you turn left, then a right, then another right,
And then you ask someone else where the Decade Three Class is because I do not know that as well.”
“…”
Candice’s lips twitched in frustration and anger as she glared at Nux with hatred.
“Hey Hey, don’t look at me like that, as I said, I am new here as well, I know this Academy as much as you do.”
Nux shook his head and shrugged.
“Don’t change the topic and answer my question.
Are you the one who assaulted Myrill Bourkee?” Candice controlled her anger and questioned again.
“Wait… are you and Myril-” Nux wanted to change the topic again and waste a little more time, however, his [Sense] quickly picked what he was waiting for and a small smile appeared on his face.
“Are you here for the matter regarding Myrill?”
“Yes and I don’t want you to ask any questions now, I will be the one asking.
Are you the one who assaulted Myrill yesterday?” Candice, who didn’t have an ounce of good impression of Nux in her mind questioned in a strict tone.
Nux, however, just smiled and questioned back.
“Are you talking about the incident where Myrill tried to attack me and was then got thrashed by me?”
