Chapter 178: Rumor (Part 2)

"People nowadays are so ambitious. Just because they receive a littlr bit of attention from Professor Frans, they think they can transform from a chicken into a phoenix and even want to replace others’ positions. It’s really laughable!"

Amalia remained unfazed, as if they weren’t talking about her.

Instead, that person became more irritated since they didn’t get the reaction they wanted, ehich further fueling their defiance.

That person then grabbed their companion and returned to their original seats.

"What’s wrong?" the companion asked in confusion.

The person snorted, "Why should we leave? If someone had any shame, they should leave on their own."

The companion nodded in agreement, "You’re right."

As other classmates arrived, the seats around Amalia gradually filled up.

Once again, there was a void around her, much like when she first arrived.

Until Rasler Yoder came.

The classmates from the artifact refining class greeted him one after another, displaying excellent camaraderie, a sharp contrast to Amalia’s ignored presence.

"Good morning, Amalia. You’re here quite early today," Rasler Yoder smiling as he sat beside Amalia with a friendly attitude.

Amalia remained as cold as ever, showing no enthusiasm, which stirred up annoyance among the others.

"Rasler Yoder took the initiative to greet her, and she acted indifferent. With such arrogant attitude, I’ll never acknowledge her in my entire life."

"She’s a genius, and remarkable. She just looks down on us ordinary folks."

"..."

The two students in the front row spoke in a sarcastic tone.

Originally, Amalia didn’t want to pay attention, but she wasn’t the type to swallow insults silently, and letting others repeatedly provoke her.

"How much is your acknowlege worth?"

To put it bluntly, who do you think you are?

"What do you mean?!" The other party felt humiliated and angry, they turned around to glare at Amalia.

Only to meet a pair of cold, deep, and intimidating eyes, which make them felt chilling to the bone.

It felt like being drenched in icy water, and sending shivers down the spine.

Suddenly they remember that Amalia was the one who defeated Sebastian Caceres and Yannis Yoder in the competition, and the latter now has become useless.

"Don’t be angry, Amalia. They’re just joking..." Rasler Yoder, having seen enough drama he wanted, he finally stepped in to defuse the situation.

"Why don’t you roll on the ground for me to see?" Amalia interrupted him even before he could finish his words.

Noticing his freezing smile, she then revealing a harmless smile one, "I’m just joking. Rasler, you won’t be upset, will you?"

If he admitted to being upset, wouldn’t he be losing face?

"How could I?" Rasler Yoder’s expression stiffened slightly, and after saying that, he remained silent.

The first round of confrontation ended in defeat, so it’s no wonder his mood wasn’t that great.

Amalia understood him and was content with the current ’quiet atmosphere.’

When class time arrived, Professor Frans came in.

Despite the strange atmosphere in the room, as if not see it, Professor Frans as usual was called Amalia up to assist him again.

At that moment, a classmate stood up.

"Professor, you always call her up. Give the others a chance too. Isn’t that favoritism?"

This classmate was one of those who usually liked to stick around with Rasler Yoder.

"Alright, then you come up." Professor Frans directly agreed with the suggestion.

The expression on the classmate’s face froze; he didn’t want to be called up himself, he just hoping Professor Frans would focus more on others, like Rasler Yoder.

He dared not say he didn’t want to go up, so he reluctantly stepped forward.

As expected, he performed poorly as an assistant, and getting scolded harshly by Professor Frans.

"Some of you, if you put the same effort into your practice as you do in scheming, I believe your achievements wouldn’t be so disgraceful that you couldn’t show your face. Being upright and honest is being true to your conscience. If you don’t consider yourself inferior to others, then face a fair challenge. Those who don’t even dare to face a direct challenge will fail sooner or later!"

Professor Frans seemed more agitated than usual today, his pointed words causing Rasler Yoder who is sitting at the back, to darken his expression.

Karina Wences dared not speak anymore, and fearing to disturb Rasler Yoder’s contemplation.

Suddenly, a soft chuckle came from beside her.

Karina Wences wondered who would be so foolish, she turned his head, and saw it was Amalia.

Her stunning profile, which can made boys screaming, look more despicable in her eyes now.

She furrowed her brows tightly, and silently thinking she would face the consequences soon.

"Trying to replace Rasler? Here’s your chance. Let’s see if you can handle the ’weight of fame,’" Karina Wences thought with a sinister tone.

Indeed, the strange looks Amalia received this morning were intentionally stirred up by Karina Wences.

Their plan was to elevate Amalia’s image falsely.

Of course, they didn’t genuinely want to elevate her; they just wanted classmates to believe she was arrogant and conceited.

A newcomer who seemingly inflated after being called up by Professor Frans a few times.

Students detest such arrogant, and impatient individuals; naturally, it had diminished their previous favorable opinion of her.

Karina Wences sneered inwardly, and waiting to see how she would act after the exams.

After class, Amalia left.

Once again in an empty corner, she heard a call from behind.

"Amalia, wait up!" Isabella Xiao caught up from behind, and blocking Amalia’s path, looking aggrieved.

"Amalia, I’ve been trying to talk to you for so long. Why are you ignoring me?"

Amalia didn’t stop walking.

Isabella Xiao could sensed Amalia’s anger and hurriedly explained, "Amalia, I know you’re upset. Before class, I didn’t ignore you on purpose. My friend was worried that being close to you would cause trouble for me and threatened to end our friendship if I kept in touch with you. You’re not really mad at me, are you?"
