Cui Ciyou sat in the corner of the back row by the window. The king's homeland, huh?
His gaze swept over the front of the room with interest.
Naturally, his attention settled on the petite blue figure at the lectern, along with the two restless beast-eared girls assigned seats right below her.
Seats beside the lectern were reserved for either the best students or the worst.
The blue figure was, of course, Roxy.
Her presence alone was enough to make those two otherwise fearless Beastfolk girls-Liniana and Pursena-behave like a cat and dog that had encountered their natural predator, all their bristling bravado subdued.
Liniana's cat ears drooped limply, and her tail lay stiffly hidden behind her chair;
Pursena looked as though she wanted to curl into a ball, her lively dog ears pressed flat against her head, hardly daring to breathe.
A moment's thought was enough to explain why.
In this timeline, where he had set the butterfly effect in motion, Roxy's fate had taken a considerable turn.
Not only had she mastered King-level Magic earlier than in the "original story," but she had also begun teaching at the continent's finest institution several years ahead of schedule.
With Roxy's meticulous, utterly serious personality, putting her up against those two lawless troublemakers, Liniana and Pursena, was a recipe for an explosive collision.
It took no imagination to know that they must have clashed fiercely more than once.
As for the outcome... that went without saying.
Besides, the Roxy of this world had already grown stronger than her counterpart in the "original story."
She had not only mastered King-level Magic, but also magic model theory, allowing her to cast instantly without incantations rather than merely shortening the syllables as she had in the original story.
