The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Professor Rhodes said that these two classes are significantly more advanced than the average class, and he figured he'd have to teach something much more advanced to impress them...

Ye Xiao muttered to himself, but his own knowledge of elemental magic wasn't actually that advanced, which made his current situation somewhat awkward.

As I pondered this, students from both classes began to arrive.

The first thing that catches the eye is a dazzling gold.

She was a blonde girl with waist-length hair, a delicate and pretty oval face and pointed elf ears under her side-swept bangs. Her dark green uniform top accentuated her tall and shapely figure, and her slender legs, adorned with white stockings and ankle boots, stepped into the front door from under her gray-white short skirt.

She was surrounded by a group of other Aslan noble students, like knights flanking a princess, following her step by step into the classroom.

This girl, whose demeanor was exceptionally haughty, was probably Illyas Laxion, the second daughter of Duke Laxion, the Grand Duke of the South of Aslan.

He was one of the key figures in both classes that needed special attention; Professor Rhodes had specifically described him to Ye Xiao during lunch.

The tall, slender girl walked past the podium with her head held high, like an elegant swan, not even bothering to glance at Ye Xiao, who was preparing teaching materials on the podium.

Not bad, it fits his stereotype of the great nobles of Aslan. Otherwise, Ye Xiao would have thought that the people here had changed their nature, as everyone was so friendly to outsiders.

Princess Serendra is a rather special case.

After Illyas left, another group of noisy students followed. This group was slightly smaller than the previous group of the duke's daughters, and it was centered around a handsome male student with short dark blue hair.

Ye Xiao remembered that this should be Tyrael Foggo, the third son of the Chief Minister.

For some reason, watching those glamorous groups of aristocratic students walk past him, Ye Xiao always had the illusion that he was watching a military training parade.

As the classroom seats gradually filled up, Ye Xiao noticed that the seating arrangements for these small groups seemed to be quite strictly defined. Unlike the classes in the morning, the students could generally sit wherever they wanted after entering.

The students in these two classes not only sit separately according to their class, but they also consciously give up some of the middle seats.

To some extent, the students' behavior was also a microcosm of the upper echelons of the Aslan aristocracy, with clear factions and a strict hierarchy.

Just as Ye Xiao was observing, a sweet cry of "Brother!" suddenly came from beside him, almost making his dead fish eyes pop out of their sockets.

"...Greedy."

Ye Xiao's lips twitched as he looked at the pink-haired girl who had run over to greet him enthusiastically, and without any mercy, he smacked her on the head.

This little guy deliberately concealed his presence, like a mischievous cat. Otherwise, how could Ye Xiao, with his keen senses, not have noticed someone walking up to the podium?

"Hmm! I wanted to give you a surprise, but you still hit me for this."

Greta puffed out her cheeks, like a pea.

"I think you're just trying to scare me on purpose."

Ye Xiao was speechless. He could feel the gazes of the other students in the classroom gathering around him, but he didn't seem to care much. He affectionately ruffled the girl's hair and asked, "So you've been assigned to Class One?"

"Class Two, hehe, I'm going to my seat now."

After greeting Ye Xiao, Greta didn't delay his work and consciously walked to find her seat.

Ye Xiao was unsure whether he should remind Greta and the other noble students about the formalities.

But considering that this great demon has probably been observing society since the dawn of humanity, it shouldn't need me to say anything more about this little thing.

Seeing that the tiered seating was almost full of students, but there was still an empty spot in the middle, Ye Xiao became even more surprised.

According to Professor Rhodes, Illyas should be the most "troublesome" student in both classes. Yet, even she, with a sour face, relinquished the "throne" in the middle of the classroom. Could it be that some important figure is about to make their appearance?

"Oh, it's the new professor."

Just then, a soft greeting, seemingly tinged with a smile, came from the doorway. Ye Xiao looked in the direction of the voice and was surprised to see a group of students wearing blue-gray uniforms.

Unlike the default burgundy or dark green uniforms of the Cliff Academy, blue-gray should be the representative color of the uniforms of the Aslan Northern Empire Military Academy.

The girl who led the group had hair that was a rare grey-gold color among the trainees, like the luster of the winter sun reflected on the snow.

She wore two small, shoulder-length ponytails, and her rather cute doll-like face had a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth. Her deep blue eyes were slightly narrowed as she stared at Ye Xiao, like a cunning fox observing its prey.

Even if Ye Xiao's reaction was slow, he should have been able to guess who this person was after seeing the royal family's signature hair color.

It was none other than Sylvanas, the second princess of Aslan, who had recently been chosen as a saint by the Earth Mother and was renowned throughout the country.

Chapter Twenty: Wicked Jokes

Hmm... he looks like the kind of troublesome guy.

Ye Xiao calmly observed the second princess for a moment.

Although judging people by their appearance is not a good thing, most of the fox-like-eyed guys Ye Xiao had met in the past were actually scheming... Oh, of course, Ella is an exception; the Holy Maiden is always the kindest.

But then again, this girl seems to be a saintess as well, but she's the Earth Saintess.

Could it be that these gods in this life have collectively awakened some strange fetish, specifically choosing this type to be their saintesses?

Ye Xiao pulled herself out of her reverie and nodded slightly to the other person, "Hello, Your Highness, it is an honor for you to attend our course."

"No need for formalities, Professor. I heard your classes this morning were quite popular."

Silvana, the second princess, chuckled.

"That's just a compliment."

Ye Xiao opened his arms. "Time is almost up, Your Highness, please take your seat as soon as possible."

Silvana didn't say anything more and led her group of fellow students from the north to sit in the middle of the classroom.

Among the sea of ​​dark green and red-black student uniforms, this batch of blue-gray uniforms stood out particularly.

"Welcome, everyone. It's a pleasure to meet you all. I am Vossab Brand, and I will be leading you through this semester's Elemental Magic course as your Magic Professor..."

Ye Xiao began his self-introduction as usual, when a faint sneer suddenly came from the corner.

"Pfft, 'next'? Who knows how many classes he'll even get to attend..."

The sound was very faint, but it was just right so that the whole classroom could hear it. Like a chain reaction, like opening a can of laughter, a mocking chuckle suddenly appeared in every corner.

Ye Xiao curled her lips.

"It is very impolite for students in the fourth row, third column, fifth row, tenth column, and second row, first column to make meaningless laughter while the teacher is lecturing."

This precise roll call took the jeering noble students by surprise, and for a moment their expressions became somewhat awkward.

Ha, young man.

Ye Xiao smiled and opened her textbook.

These little tricks among students were no different from playing house to him.

"Given the level of everyone here, you should already have a fairly solid grasp of basic elemental magic. I've briefly reviewed it once, and anyone who doesn't understand can ask questions at any time..."

As they were talking, Ye Xiao keenly sensed a faint fluctuation of magical energy.

What's going on? Is there an enemy attack on this academy?

Before Ye Xiao could figure out what was going on, a slender snake suddenly darted out from the hidden compartment of the lectern drawer. Its smooth skin gleamed like a bolt of lightning as it suddenly opened its mouth and bit at the back of Ye Xiao's hand.

But how could Ye Xiao, a master swordsman, possibly be bitten by this snake? With a casual pinch, he easily grabbed the snake's head.

The Copper-Spotted Chameleon is a Tier 2 monster that possesses the ability to conceal its presence, blend into its environment, and paralyze its prey with its venom.

Ye Xiao knew without a doubt that someone had hidden this thing in the podium before he arrived at the classroom, intending to annoy him at this moment.

That surge of magical energy just now was probably used to activate this snake.

This is a bit too much.

Ye Xiao frowned slightly. Even if it was a prank, this level of mischief could be considered naughty. If it were any other professor, they might have been paralyzed by the poison and collapsed to the ground.

Although the toxin wouldn't be life-threatening, given the physical condition of those professors who practiced magic, they would inevitably suffer some injuries from falling down and bumping into things.

His gaze immediately followed the direction of the magic's source; the mere fluctuation just a moment ago was enough for him to pinpoint the culprit.

But before he could speak, the other person stood up first.

"Ah!! I'm so sorry, Professor, by the grace of Goddess, how did my lost magical pet end up there!?"

Lost? Only a fool would believe that.

But Ye Xiao noticed that in an inconspicuous corner, a student was secretly taking out a photo crystal, seemingly eager to take a picture of him when he lost his temper.

Without a doubt, the other side has used these tricks more than once or twice, and their various coordination and response methods are quite proficient.

There are no security cameras in the classroom, so Ye Xiao can't prove that the magical pet wasn't lost but was deliberately hidden there beforehand. As a professor, he can't seem to give any severe punishment other than verbally reprimanding the other party for not keeping a close watch on such a dangerous creature.

Hey, these students... they really do need some discipline.

Ye Xiao smiled kindly and looked at the female student who claimed to be the owner of the copper-spotted snake. "Excuse me, what's your name?"

“Favina Mokadode, Professor, thank you for your help.”

Seemingly certain that Ye Xiao couldn't cause her any trouble, the petite girl readily gave her name, making her appear even more "upright and honest."

Most students would simply give their names, but this one deliberately added her surname, presumably to remind Ye Xiao that she was the daughter of Marquis Mocardod, and that she should be careful what she did.

A group of aristocratic students—if there's no reason to beat or scold them, it's no wonder Professor Rhodes said that professors without powerful connections basically wouldn't dare teach these two classes.

"Take your pet back with you. Keep a close eye on it next time. But this is considered disrupting class order, so Class One will lose a point."

Ye Xiao's punishment was very lenient, but he secretly channeled a small amount of magic into the snake with his left hand before returning it to the student named Favina.

"Also, the student in the eleventh column of the sixth row, what are you doing fiddling with the photo crystal during class? Class Two will lose one point."

"Ah, I just wanted to take notes of your blackboard writing, Professor."

The guy who wanted to take photos was caught off guard by Ye Xiao's sudden mention, but he had obviously prepared his excuse beforehand.

"Next time you want to take notes, remember to raise your hand and report it. If there is a sudden magical fluctuation, people may misunderstand and think that some magical accident has occurred."

“…Understood, Professor.”

Ye Xiao glosses over the incident and resumes his lecture with a blank expression, as if what had just happened was merely a simple accident.

"That guy's nonchalant attitude is disgusting."

Seeing that Ye Xiao remained unmoved, some students began to whisper among themselves.

"What is the college doing? Sending an outsider to teach? He smells like a country bumpkin."

"He can't be so stupid as to think it was just an accident, can he...?"

"what!!!"

A scream suddenly pierced the air, startling all the trainees, who all looked in the direction of the sound.

But then they saw that the girl from before, Favina, had her delicate nose bitten hard by the copper-spotted snake, and she was flailing her arms and legs, making sharp, popping noises.

Chapter Twenty-One Teaching Accidents

"what happened!?"

Ye Xiao feigned nervousness and looked at the girl who had the "accident".

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! It's biting me! It's biting me!!!"

Favina rolled off her chair into the floor in pain, and the small, bronze-colored snake fell off her face and darted back into her wide sleeve.

"what!!!!!!"

This time, the sharp, explosive sound reverberated throughout the entire floor.

The students around her helped pull at Favina's clothes, but they couldn't get the little snake out of somewhere for a while.

Ye Xiao strode forward through the corridor, his hand already prepared with spells, ready to find an excuse to teach this mischievous noblewoman a lesson, when a loud, clear shout suddenly rang out from the side:

"Don't be afraid, classmate, I'm here to help you!"

But then a petite pink-haired girl excitedly jumped up from her seat and accurately hit Favina, who was rolling on the ground, with a frost spell.

“Aa ...

The icy white frost burst forth, instantly turning Favina's entire face ashen. The sensation of her body temperature dropping several degrees in an instant was indescribable.

Ye Xiao's lips twitched as he glanced at Greta, who was winking at him with a mischievous grin.

Good grief, he was originally going to cast Frostbite, but not as powerfully as Greta's.

To some extent, this is indeed a correct approach. Copper-spotted chameleons will feel uncomfortable when encountering drastic temperature changes and will quickly flee. Generally speaking, you can't just conjure a fireball to blow up the victim and kill both the snake and its unborn child, so casting ice spells is the safest method.

However, the effectiveness of this ice spell depends heavily on the caster's skill; if it's not cold enough, the snake won't appear, and if it's too cold, it will freeze the person.

Regardless, the copper-spotted snake did indeed emerge from under Favina's clothes, its body, wet from the frost, frolicking wildly on the floor.
