Prodigy Ruby

Fu Hua walked calmly to the podium and surveyed the students in the classroom.

Her gaze immediately fell on Ellen, sitting by the window in the second-to-last row.

She put down her textbook and said nothing, simply writing her name on one side of the blackboard.

Then, she waited for the official class bell.

During this time, her indifferent expression, combined with her elegant demeanor, actually

silenced everyone in the classroom.

And so, a strange scene unfolded.

The classroom was full, yet it was deathly quiet.

Fu Hua didn't seem to mind, she was still quickly flipping through the textbook in her hands.

Otherwise, she wouldn't know what to teach.

Ruby couldn't hold it in any longer and started whispering to Lin in front of her.

"Why is this teacher's aura so strong? I can barely hold on."

"Hold on to what?"

"I need to go to the bathroom."

"Then go..."

Glancing stealthily at Fu Hua on the podium, Ruby finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Teacher, I need to go to the bathroom!"

Instantly, all eyes in the classroom turned to her, making Ruby very uncomfortable.

At this moment, Fu Hua slowly raised her head. The moment her clear, bright blue eyes met Ruby's gaze.

Ruby's body trembled, and her yellow bangs swayed along with it.

"Isn't it break time now? Why are you telling me this, you should just go."

"Phew-- Okay, okay hahaha."

It was Ruby's awkward laugh that livened up the previously cold classroom.

"Is this the new Chinese teacher?"

"She seems so young."

"Hey, don't you guys think she's so cool and pretty..."

"Me too, me too, she's just..."

As the class bell rang, Fu Hua stood up and walked towards the classroom door.

Preparing to close the door so she could teach.

But who would have thought that Ruby would suddenly dart in at that moment.

"Wait, wait, Teacher, don't lock me out."

Fu Hua paused slightly, watching Ruby brush past her.

She tripped over her own feet, spun around, kicked her heel, and flew backward, falling.

Her blue eyes widened in surprise.

This person is a prodigy.

After closing the door, Fu Hua calmly turned around and extended her hands, catching the other person steadily.

Ruby, who had closed her eyes expecting a hard landing on the cold floor, felt instead a warm embrace.

She slowly opened her eyes and exclaimed in surprise.

"I didn't fall!"

A faint sandalwood scent wafted over. Ruby stiffly turned her head and met Fu Hua's calm gaze.

"That's because I was bearing the weight for you. Student, may you please return to your seat now?"

"Ahhh-- I'm actually in the new teacher's arms!"

After the scream, the students below couldn't hold back any longer.

They burst into uproarious laughter.

Mona and Lin in the back found it hard to watch.

After getting down from Fu Hua, Ruby sheepishly scratched her head.

"Haha, sorry Teacher, thanks for catching me."

Waving her hand, Fu Hua said nothing and walked to the podium.

"We're about to start class. Please return to your seat first."

"Okay, teacher."

Seeing that everyone was ready.

Fu Hua picked up a piece of chalk and began writing on the blackboard.

Her vivid tone was interspersed throughout.

It was as if she were a storyteller recounting a tale. Many people who had planned to sleep were captivated.

They were completely engrossed.

There wasn't a single wasted word.

Fu Hua had distilled all the valuable content of today's lesson onto the blackboard.

As the dismissal bell rang, she put the remaining half stick of chalk back into its box.

Fu Hua turned around.

"Class dismissed."

With that, she closed her textbook and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, the homeroom teacher, who had been listening intently from the back door, called out to her.

"Teacher Fu Hua, please wait a moment."

"Is there something you need?"

"Well, it's the long break soon, and the school playground is under construction.

Could you possibly help supervise the self-study session?"

"I have a meeting to attend."

"Okay, I understand. Please go ahead."

"Thank you, Teacher Fu Hua. As expected of an elite instructor, your lectures are excellent."

Sighing, Fu Hua, who had intended to leave, had no choice but to return to the podium.

She sat down in a chair and began reading a second popular science book about Hollow Disasters.

"Wow, this teacher's lectures are amazing."

"The fact that even Ruby is listening shows how valuable they are."

"What do you mean? I was listening very seriously."

"It seems like she doesn't say anything besides lecturing."

Lin spoke up after finishing organizing her notes.

"Yeah, that's good. I don't want to hear teachers bragging,"

"By the way, Ellen, do you know her?

Your expression seems a little off."

Mona seemed to notice Ellen's expression and asked.

"Ahaha, maybe. Let's not talk about it for now.

I'm going to sleep. I held out the whole time, but I'm so tired."

"That's strange, even Ellen didn't sleep."

Lin pushed up her glasses in shock.

Heh, sister, do you think I dared to sleep?

This new colleague who cooks so well is clearly sent by the boss to monitor me.

Just then, the previously noisy classroom fell silent again as Fu Hua suddenly stood up.

Ellen, sensing something was wrong, immediately straightened up.

Damn it, I think I've developed an illness where I can't sleep unless the class is noisy.

"Did I, perhaps, forget to introduce myself?"

To everyone's surprise, Fu Hua spoke dazedly.

"That's right, teacher. You haven't said a word since you arrived."

At this moment, Ruby spoke up.

"I did speak. To the student who tripped over their left foot with their right, spun around, and fell on their heel."

Pfft--

Many people burst into laughter after hearing Fu Hua say such a thing with a straight face.

"Ahahaha, tripped over their left foot with their right, spun around, and fell on their heel--Ruby, you're hilarious.

You've already made an impression on the new teacher."

Lin wiped away her tears, laughing so hard her stomach hurt.

Even Ellen covered her mouth, letting out a laugh.

"Ahhh, Teacher, please don't use that title, my name is Ruby."

"Alright, student Ruby, didn't I tell you before that I would carry the burden for you?"

"Hey, that... that doesn't count, Teacher, you didn't introduce yourself."

"Why wouldn't it count? I already said it."

Seeing Fu Hua so stubbornly arguing with her.

Ruby quickly waved her hands.

"Okay, Teacher. You win, so hurry up and introduce yourself."

Fumbling for a moment, Fu Hua froze for a few seconds before adjusting her posture and saying.

"Hello everyone, my name is Fu Hua."

After speaking, she sat back down and resumed reading her book.

"That's it? Teacher, aren't you an elite instructor?

Shouldn't you be introducing your impressive resume?"

"Student Ruby, please settle down. It's break time. If you're not resting, others are."

"Yeah, Ruby, be quiet. I want to sleep!"

Ellen chimed in, uncharacteristically agreeing.

"Student Ellen, please come here for a moment. Can you tell me about the content of the last lesson?"

"Hahaha, Round Shark Shark, you're so pathetic~"
