As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

Her slender eyebrows raised slightly, Jon Snow's delicate body trembled, her expression unconsciously softened, and the ice and snow between her brows slowly melted away.

"Is this... sweet?"

"Yeah. My maid made some improvements and added maple syrup."

The Empire's milk tea is similar to the taste of the Mongolians in Roy's previous life, mainly salty and fragrant.

However, Roy still preferred sweet drinks, so he asked Alice to restore the taste closer to that of a beverage shop.

Unexpectedly, Jon Snow actually likes this version.

Noticing the girl savoring her milk tea with small sips, squinting her eyes sweetly, her cold face rarely melting, revealing a cute expression like a small animal, Roy couldn't help but curl his lips.

Different from Alice and Charlotte who are soft and cute, Jon Snow is like a cold silver wolf, who suddenly leans over and smiles gently, which is an inexplicable cute contrast.

Sure enough, no girl can resist happy milk tea.

But the bottle cap was not big to begin with, and after drinking a glass, the silver-haired girl pursed her lips, looking lost and somewhat pitiful.

"There's more if you want some, right?"

"...Excuse me."

After getting a refill, Jon Snow's eyes immediately brightened up again.

Seeing the silver-haired girl intoxicated by the drink prepared by her maid, Roy was also a little proud: "Alice's cooking skills are amazing."

Jon Snow nodded slightly in approval, "Indeed."

"Your girlfriend's cooking skills are indeed better than those in the cafeteria."

Roy nearly choked to death on a mouthful of milk tea.

Teacher, you seem to have a strange misunderstanding of me!

"Alice is not my girlfriend?"

Now it was Jon Snow's turn to be confused.

"No? You obviously live together?"

"Well, she's just my maid. There's nothing wrong with us."

Jon Snow was well aware of the sexual practices of the young nobles. Any master and servant who brought a maid to school and lived together basically had an unspeakable relationship in private, which was a huge chaos.

Unexpectedly, Roy's style is so pure.

"Your relationship with Charlotte and the others isn't very healthy." Jon Snow shook his head and complained.

Roy scratched his cheek and smiled bitterly.

From an outsider's perspective, dating three girls at the same time was indeed quite a scumbag. He had no excuse for this.

However, Jon Snow's words were very light, without any criticism. Instead, he praised softly, "But there's a reason why they like you."

"Ugh?"

"People say you're a philandering scumbag, a playboy, and a brat who uses sweet words to deceive girls. But these are obviously all lies. You're just gentle and considerate, and you have outstanding looks, so people slander you in private." Jon Snow stared at him, revealing a look of emotion.

The praise seemed too natural, but it caught Roy off guard.

Why does Jon Snow's personality feel so different from the original novel? Is he so successful in playing the role of a model student?

Roy was not overwhelmed by the praise and smiled modestly: "Teacher, you are too kind. I just missed too many classes, so I came here to make up for it."

Jon Snow looked straight over and said seriously, "But you are completely different from the others."

“Your achievements and circumstances are only temporary, but you don’t accept the status quo. Instead, you try your best to change it.”

"Is not it?"

Having said this, the girl's expression softened, no longer like an icy rose, but more like soft snow brought by the breeze.

Those ice-blue eyes reveal maternal tenderness, like the shimmering light of autumn water, so tender that it is hard to resist.

Roy became more and more embarrassed by the praise.

He was pretending to be a good student. If it weren't for the fate-defying node, he wouldn't have worked so hard.

But Jon Snow is a genuinely good teacher.

It's just that the 'evil young Roy' in the original work was too bad, so she appears to be an unkind, cold-faced sadist.

"Teacher, since you think so highly of me, why don't you go easy on my grades?" Roy became bolder and started joking.

The corners of Jon Snow's mouth moved slightly, and he took a sip of milk tea, but replied: "There's no need to deny it."

"I can assure you that even without any slack, you'll be able to handle the final exam."

She smiled gently at the boy, revealing tenderness and trust. "You won't do too badly in tomorrow's exam. I believe you have the ability."

Roy felt his chest and face burning, feeling a little embarrassed, yet inexplicably excited.

Really, I’m not an excellent student and I really hate exams.

If it weren't for the destiny-defying node, tutoring or grades would just be dealt with casually.

However, being looked at by such eyes, even I couldn't help but want to respond to her expectations.

Chapter 29 Being a Teacher

After the final written exam, a few days passed and it was the day when the results were announced.

In the school square, a huge and eye-catching signboard is erected.

Teachers and students from all grades came one after another, some looked worried, some were excited, and more people were looking forward to it, trying to squeeze forward to find out their own grades.

Roy looked at the crowded scene, feeling somewhat helpless, and finally just retreated to the outside of the crowd.

Most of the people outside were students with low rankings who needed tutoring. They were too embarrassed to confirm their scores and the atmosphere was visibly depressed.

Mark, the brown-haired delinquent who always picked on him, now had his shoulders drooped, looking a little decadent and without his former energy.

He glanced over weakly, but smiled bitterly: "You seem quite optimistic."

"I know it won't be too bad." Roy shrugged.

He thought he was in good shape for last night's exam. The questions were not difficult, and if nothing else, at least he didn't do so badly as to fail.

However, Mark shook his head, his face showing both jealousy and envy, and said in a deep voice: "That's right, you young nobles will definitely use your connections to change your scores. It won't be too different, right?"

Roy was too lazy to explain anything to him.

Using connections would only get you a passing grade. You have to know that there are more nobles in the academy than just you, and if you use connections, others will be unhappy.

What's more, what I value is not the mere score, but the node that defies fate.

We carry different things.jpg

If you fail the exam, you fail. But if I fail, someone could die!

In the original work, the reason why "Bad Boy Roy" was kicked out of the academy was not only because he abused Alice and had poor overall credits, but most importantly, he used connections to cheat in the final exam and was discovered by Jon Snow, which left a bad impression on the heroine.

Of course Jon Snow would show no mercy to such an irredeemable villain.

But through the remedial lessons over the past few days, Roy has full confidence in changing Jon Snow's negative impression of him. As for the score itself, it is not very important.

Of course, it would be best to get a high score.

After all, you’ve put in some effort. Who doesn’t want to get good grades?

Recalling the silver-haired girl's eyes full of hope and encouragement the night before the final exam, Roy couldn't help but look up at the notice board.

Getting a high score would also help in reversing the fate node.

The crowd grew larger and larger. In addition to students, some teachers also came to congratulate or scold the students.

Enwei huddled in the corner, looking at his colleagues who were either laughing at the students, scolding them, encouraging them, or criticizing them, but he didn't seem to care.

To him, it's just a job.

Students doing well in the exams would help him earn a few more bucks, that was all. He had no interest in having anything to do with these brats after the exams were over.

Until he saw the figure of the black-haired boy.

Roy Ironblad, the culprit who caused him to be punished by Jon Snow.

This guy is actually at the outermost edge? Oh yeah, I remember his grades weren't very good and he even had to take extra classes.

Haha, weren't you so cocky before? You can't be so cocky now, can you?!

Enwei immediately grinned, put his hands in his pockets, and walked up quickly.

He didn't dare to confront the headmaster Jon Snow, and he didn't dare to pick a fight with the Marquis's son Roy for no reason.

But what’s the saying?

A phoenix that falls into water is no better than a chicken!

At least today, as a teacher, it is reasonable to teach a poor student a lesson!

"Classmate Roy, long time no see. Why don't you come over and see me? Are your grades not good?"

Without waiting for Roy's reply, Enwei emphasized his tone, "Didn't I tell you to have a positive attitude and study hard? Do you regret it now? What were you doing before?"

Seeing the other party's unfriendly tone, Roy was a little puzzled.

No, who are you?

You are not my teacher. What does it have to do with you whether I do well or not in the exam?

Crazy?

Roy turned his head, too lazy to talk to him, and continued to look for his results.

This nonchalant attitude made Enwei's face turn cold.

"Mr. Roy, I advise you to be respectful!"

"Or, have you lost your respect for teachers? It's bad test scores, but you can't even maintain the right attitude?" Enwei raised his head arrogantly and sneered, "No wonder you're hanging out with the last-place students in the cram school! People say you were once a bad boy and have long since reformed, but in my opinion, hmph, you're still a hopeless case!"

Enwei glanced around, not hiding his contempt.

Mark and the others lowered their heads in shame and clenched their fists in anger, but they were powerless and dared not to be villains, so they were submissive to the extreme.

More and more students noticed this, but they did not know the truth and did not dare to intervene.

"Why is Mr. Enwei arguing with Roy?"

"It seems like he's teaching him a lesson for not doing well in his studies."

"Nonsense! Our princess is one of the top ten students. How could the Sworn Knight's grades be bad?!"

"Don't worry, Roy seems to have gone to cram school."

"Ah this..."

After regaining the sense of superiority as a teacher from the fearful and timid gazes of these students, Enwei's smile deepened.

Nobles, geniuses, and extraordinary people with boundless prospects. A bunch of stinky brats, they still have to curl up in front of me! Even if I curse them to death, they dare not say a word in return!

"If you ask me, you deserve it! You've been obsessed with women and indulged in pleasure all day, neglecting your studies and neglecting your knowledge! Finally, you've ended up like this, and now you're regretting it!"

"After all, you are just one of those silly girls who have never seen the world! You are just a young master who can speak sweet words. You really think you are a big shot..."

Enwei was lecturing enthusiastically, but the black-haired boy sighed impatiently and looked back quietly.

There was no annoyance or fear on that face, just a hint of irritation.

And a hint of undisguised disdain.

"Don't be crazy, don't you think you're ridiculous?"

"......What did you say?"

"Tsk. I accidentally told the truth." The boy muttered to himself unscrupulously, then forced a smile and said politely, "Could you please shut up and step aside? You're disturbing me."

Enwei opened his mouth to spit, but Roy raised his finger and said silently, "If you still want to stay in the academy, don't bother me. Understand?"

He had already checked Enwei's background.

He has no backing, has even violated regulations repeatedly, and has received many punishments. He is not a good person.

As a noble, it wouldn't be difficult to use his connections to kick this idler out of the academy. This would inevitably lead to criticism from other nobles and leave a bad impression on the academy, but Enwei himself was powerless to resist.

A smart guy should be able to immediately figure out the pros and cons and retreat when faced with difficulties.
