"Even if we're both Singapore survivors, you can't waste my naptime!" Xina remained unmoved. By the time she turned around, she was already considering what she should use to tie someone up!
"Huh?! I'm such an outstanding Valkyrie teacher, and you think I'm less important than a nap?" Warith stared at Xina, disbelief written all over her face.
"Yeah! I don't even know you!" Xina said righteously.
"You..." Warith seemed to have been angered. Her ample chest rose and fell rapidly with her heavy breathing, and it took her quite a while to calm down somewhat.
"Hmph! What a tasteless little girl. Lead the way!"
"Oh." Xina scratched her head and put away her whip again.
For the rest of the way, Warith did not say another word to Xina.
After being escorted to the teachers' office area, Xina took out her device and happily opened her mission panel. Her finger immediately pressed the yellow mission submission button.
Warith, who was sitting by the window sulking, watched Xina skip past downstairs. Finally unable to take it anymore, she slapped her desk and said resentfully, "You little brat, you'd better pray that you can keep up with my teaching this afternoon. Otherwise, hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮!"
"~~~"
At the villa, with Theresa holed up in the Headmaster's Office reading comics and not returning to the residence, the girls all remained in their rooms.
Seizing this heaven-sent opportunity, Himeko immediately took a bottle of red wine from the hidden compartment beneath the sofa, intending to have a few drinks.
After pulling out the cork, Himeko had just filled her wineglass when she saw Xina walk in through the door, humming a tune with a gentle smile on her face. She seemed to be in quite a good mood.
Quickly hiding the wine bottle behind her back, Himeko was unsure whether Xina had seen what she had just done, so she could not help asking,
"You seem so happy after going out. Did something good happen?"
"Nothing much. I just finished my mission and found that I still had time to come back for a nap."
"All right."
Hearing Xina's answer, Himeko could only nod. After all, she knew that no matter the weather, Xina's daily noon nap was absolutely non-negotiable.
Watching Xina change into her slippers and head upstairs, Himeko finally sighed in relief, secretly rejoicing, Thank goodness, she didn't notice...
"Teacher Himeko, remember to open the windows and air the room out after drinking! Otherwise, the smell won't dissipate, and tonight the Principal will be searching the whole house for alcohol again!"
Before entering her room, Xina did not forget to quietly remind Himeko from the doorway.
Himeko: "..." You little rascal...
The wonderful naptime quickly passed. That afternoon, full of energy Xina walked behind Kiana and the others, arriving at the classroom last.
As soon as they entered, everyone noticed that there was an extra set of cosmetics on their desks, seemingly prepared specifically for this class.
"Hey... Mary, you were the earliest one here. Were these already on the desks when you arrived?"
One Trainee Valkyrie examined the cosmetics set on her desk for quite some time, then could not help poking the classmate who had arrived earliest that afternoon.
"Yes." 'Mary' turned around with a smile and explained softly, "These things were already here when I arrived."
Looking at the empty teacher's desk, Kiana could not help complaining, "Hey, class has already started for a while. Has that substitute Valkyrie teacher still not come?"
"Maybe she has, but you just didn't notice." Xina's seat was in an excellent position, allowing her to observe the entire classroom from the corner. She fixed her gaze on a classmate who had gone out on a mission yesterday afternoon and was already back in class today, the corners of her lips curling slightly.
A few more minutes passed, but the Trainee Valkyries still had not seen their substitute teacher. They seemed to be getting restless as well, gathering together as their idle chatter inexplicably grew louder.
When the chatter reached a certain point, a 'Trainee Valkyrie' who had kept her head down reading ever since entering the classroom, speaking only a word or two whenever someone specifically came to ask her something, suddenly stood up and walked to the podium. Looking down at the students, she spoke those familiar words:
"Go listen outside. In the entire teaching building, our class is the noisiest!"
"..." ×N
In an instant, the classroom fell silent. Even the sound of a needle hitting the floor could have been heard clearly.
"Mary... you..."
Looking at the 'Mary' on the podium, whose temperament was completely unlike that of her friend, a Valkyrie finally realized what was happening. She stood up and glared fiercely at 'Mary'. "Mary... no, Mary went out on a mission yesterday and won't be back until next week. Who exactly are you!"
The 'Mary' on the podium did not directly answer the student's question. Instead, she shook her head in disappointment. "Tsk. It's been over twenty minutes since I sat in this seat, yet not a single one of you noticed my presence. Honestly, I'm very disappointed in you!"
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Warith, a Valkyrie from the Central Intelligence Department. For the time being, I'll be teaching you disguise, makeup, and infiltration. You may also call me Teacher Warith."
Warith gently brushed her palm across her face, returning to her original appearance.
"Mei, did you see that?! This new teacher can actually change faces! Seriously, I didn't notice that Mary was fake at all just now..." Kiana tilted her head and whispered.
"Idiot Kiana, that wasn't changing faces. That was disguise and makeup..." Bronya watched Kiana marveling at Warith's impressive makeup skills from nearby and could not help pouring cold water on her enthusiasm.
"In today's class, I'll teach everyone a few tricks. Before class ends, I'll assess what you've achieved during the lesson. I hope everyone listens carefully."
As she spoke, Warith took out some cosmetics from her bag and began her unique lesson in front of the students.
To be fair, although Warith herself was a little nonsensical, her teaching skills were quite good. In only ten minutes, she had drawn the entire class's attention to herself—including Kiana, a habitual classroom sleeper.
Himeko, who happened to be passing by the door, looked through the rear window at her students and saw a sight she would never forget for the rest of her life—Kiana was not sleeping. She was actually listening seriously in class!
"Is that... Kiana?!" Himeko instinctively rubbed her eyes, as though she thought she had mistaken what she was seeing.
After repeatedly confirming that she was not seeing things and that Kiana, a habitual class-cutter, was genuinely listening attentively, Himeko could not help shedding two streams of tears.
Even Kiana could listen seriously in class now. In this world, what else could possibly be impossible!?
At that thought, Himeko clenched her fists, her face filled with confidence!
