Chapter 238: Chapter 238 Defeating Metaphysics with Magic?

Scarlett Jennings looked at Ariel Zimmerman, then at the new students beside her, whose emotions she had already manipulated.

She couldn’t quite figure out how she felt.

It was a familiar formula, but it had a different flavor than Isolde Garrison and Azura Loomis.

Scarlett suddenly understood what netizens meant—

We don’t actually hate the schemers; we just hate it when the target isn’t us.

Hmm... lesson learned.

Scarlett was a bit slow on the uptake; beside her, Sebastian Carew and Amber Livingston had already understood Ariel’s intentions the moment she spoke up.

They folded their arms and watched her perform.

The audience in the live broadcast room was initially angry at Gregory Xander, wanting nothing more than to rush in and argue on behalf of the guests.

As soon as Ariel spoke, everyone instantly understood her motive.

Especially Ariel’s fans.

In their words,

["It’s my Ariel, for sure. As long as she could move, no way she’d let just anybody take the floor for that long."]

["Ariel darling hasn’t lost her touch! Mama feels so gratified!"]

["A conceited guy like him deserves a good lesson from my Sister Ariel!"]

["I absolutely love this bluntness about Ariel, much better than those sneaky ones!"]

["Does this count as using magic to defeat mysticism?"]

["Why do I suddenly feel a bit sorry for Senior Brother Xander?"]

Apparently, the commotion had gone on too long; the teacher finally arrived under the prodding of a little paperman because they hadn’t yet seen the students go eat.

What they saw was Gregory Xander with a gloomy face being criticized and earnestly advised by several new students.

The teacher found it quite amusing and decided to watch a little longer.

It wasn’t until someone in the crowd noticed the teacher’s presence that they quickly stood back up.

The teacher finally put on a stern face and stepped forward, "Not hungry, are you? Don’t blame me if I don’t remind you, the cafeteria closes in fifteen minutes!"

As soon as these words were said, nobody cared to stay and bicker or watch the show any longer. Instantly, they all rushed to the cafeteria.

In the end, Gregory Xander never apologized. He turned and left, though his steps were inexplicably hurried.

Nathan White was dumbfounded, "It’s the first time I’ve seen Senior Brother Xander at a loss."

Ariel Zimmerman didn’t hide her accomplishment, "It was nothing, just a little effort on my part."

As she spoke, she pinched her little finger and then quickly took out a small mirror to tidy her face.

Because of the early morning gathering, Ariel didn’t have time to do her makeup, appearing all morning au naturel. Fortunately, she still looked admirable without makeup.

However, no matter how good she looked, a tear-streaked face wouldn’t do, and she hadn’t forgotten she was in front of the camera.

Scarlett Jennings had finished collecting breakfast for her, and Ariel had barely tidied herself by the time she returned.

She looked at Scarlett sitting quietly across from her, sipping porridge, and felt a twinge of envy,

"Being eighteen is so nice; look at that supple skin, fair and rosy, doesn’t even need makeup."

She noted Scarlett’s well-fitted Taoist robe and glanced at her own loose one, suddenly realizing something,

"Scarlett! Why does your Taoist robe fit you so much better than mine?!"

This was cheating!

No wonder she felt ugly today.

She hadn’t noticed before!

Now that she took a closer look, the other new students’ clothes seemed to fit well too.

Scarlett Jennings, expressionless and sipping the slightly bitter white porridge, finally raised her head at Ariel’s curiosity.

"Because the new students’ clothes are tailored to each person’s measurements in advance."

After Teacher Leander sent out all new students’ admissions notices, they had to report their sizes. By the time they arrived yesterday, her six sets of Taoist robes for summer, autumn, and winter were neatly stacked on her bed.

The same applied to the other new students.

As for the program group guests, who were there temporarily, they had to wear standard-sized robes, which looked bulkier as a result.

Ariel Zimmerman, realizing this, felt even more jealous.

Even her high school uniform wasn’t custom-made, but here at a university, they tailored robes...

While they discussed the Taoist robes, Gregory Xander unknowingly returned.

As soon as they saw him, the program group guests almost instantly went into battle mode.

"What do you want now?" Amber Livingston asked.

Ariel was almost choked by his sudden appearance, but she quickly adjusted her expression to show a weak, helpless, but strong and sensible face,

"Amber, don’t say that about Senior Brother Xander; he means no harm to us. Right? Senior Brother?"

Gregory looked at Ariel with some complexity. When he met her clean and pure gaze, a trace of awkwardness flashed across his face, but he still spoke coldly,

"The teacher asked me to come and apologize, but I don’t think I need to apologize."

Sebastian Carew rolled his eyes upon hearing that, "Then why are you here?"

Gregory ignored him and turned to Scarlett Jennings and Evander Simpson, slightly raising his chin,

"I won’t apologize for a few words from someone else, but if you want me to bow my head, come according to the Mystical Sect’s rules. If you can defeat me, not only will I agree to apologize, but I will also never trouble you again."

Scarlett Jennings looked up calmly. Next to her, Evander was about to speak when Gregory added,

"But in exchange, if you lose, you must withdraw from this silly show, and no more using the Mystical Sect to cause a sensation afterward."

Immediately dissatisfied with these words, Amber Livingston remarked,

"After all, you still came to make trouble!"

And he specifically excluded him from the challenge!

Was he looking down on his out-of-body fairy?

Evander frowned at Gregory’s conditions and didn’t immediately agree; instead, he subconsciously glanced at Scarlett Jennings.

That gaze subtly suggested he would listen to Scarlett’s decision.

Scarlett finally gave up on the unappetizing white porridge, put down her spoon, stood up straight, and said,

"Apologize publicly, to Ariel."

Ariel’s ears perked up, and she looked at Scarlett with gratitude filling her eyes instantly.

Gregory hesitated to look at Ariel for some reason and only nodded, "Fine."

Scarlett added, "And treat us all to three days of takeout, using your points."

Gregory furrowed his brow, thinking of how the academy prohibited using spiritual affairs for takeout orders. Still, he realized insisting on it might make him seem like he expected defeat, so he nodded, "Okay."

Anyway, he couldn’t lose.

With that settled, the guests and viewers in the live broadcast room inexplicably felt excited.

["Holy crap! Mystical showdown; I wanna see it!"]

["You can tell our girl really can’t stand the cafeteria’s food anymore. When will Dad open the restaurant?"]

["First, he’d need to build one..."]

["I don’t care about the takeout; I just want to know how they’re gonna fight?!"]

["I’m skipping class to see how you all plan to fight! This is thrilling, hurry up!"]

The new students were also a bit rowdy because of the sudden bet between the two. After all, they had just experienced the confrontation between both sides.

Who would’ve thought the first day of school would be this exhilarating?

Meanwhile, upstairs at the other end of the cafeteria, Leander peeked out a window watching the scene below, unable to resist turning to his fellow teacher and colleague,

"You actually encouraged a senior to pick on freshmen like this; isn’t that bullying the newbies?"

The stern-faced teacher remained calm, "Mystical Sect’s rules, the weaker yield, and whoever loses shuts up. It’s more effective than logic."

Leander smirked but soon showed genuine interest.

"That might be fine, might even teach Gregory Xander a lesson."

The teacher gave Leander a look of disbelief.

Teach Gregory Xander a lesson?

Who? That freshman?

Ha, no way.
