Lith knocked on the principal’s door and was greeted by a rich and smooth voice on the other side, who said,
“Come in.”
Lith walked inside, and he was surprised when he saw the principal. Last time, he didn’t clearly look at her, but now that he did, one thing instantly came to mind. He screamed in his mind,
‘HEAVEN SHAKING, COUNTRY TOPPLING BEAUTY!
This was a line he read in a novel before in his previous life, and it instantly came to his mind after looking at her.
‘Holy shit. It’s been 13 years since I reincarnated here, but why do I remember the lines from those novels? And why does she look exactly like how they described ladies in the novels? Phew, anyway, calm down Lith. Calm down,’ Lith thought to himself, walking towards the principal.
Emilia was wearing loose yellow robes today. Such types of robes were called ‘Daoist robes’ by the majority of the people in the world. How did such a term become popular? Nobody had an idea. But was it convenient to use to describe such types of clothes? Yes.
If someone were to ask Lith about this, he wouldn’t answer them, but he for sure knew the answer to it. The term must be popularized by people who reincarnated here from earth. There was no other explanation for it, is what Lith’s answer would be. And he was right about it. This term was popularized by the reincarnated earthlings.
Emilia sat in her chair, working on the papers in front of her. Her silky blonde hair rested on her yellow robes, her beautiful blue eyes hidden behind the round gold rim glasses were currently focusing on Lith, and she had no expression on her oval face as she looked at him.
Looking at her sacred and holy figure, many would leave aside any impure thoughts that they may have and worship her. The charm of a Seraphim was never to be underestimated. Lith, however, was an exception.
Of course, such charms of hers only worked on people below Half Emperor rank. People of the same strength as hers weren’t affected, nor were people stronger than her.
Lith walked towards her and greeted her with a smile on his face, stating,
“Greetings, Miss Emilia.”
“Greetings, Lith.” Emilia greeted him back with a smile.
She wondered why he suddenly showed up in her office and thus said, “Have a seat. What brings you here to my office today?”
“Nothing really. I was just strolling around and saw your office. I wondered whether you were here or not and decided to knock. And as luck would have it, you are here. So I came to greet you. Nothing else.” Lith said to her with a smile.
“I see. How are your studies going on? You also seemed to have missed two days of classes. Why was that the case?” Emilia nodded her head and asked Lith in a neutral tone.
“Erhm… I was training with teacher. She was giving extra lessons. That’s why I didn’t attend classes. As for my studies, I don’t find any difficulties with them yet.” Lith quickly came up with an excuse to cover up his date with Arya and him going on an assassination mission, and said that excuse to Emilia.
Emilia nodded slightly in understanding. She didn’t doubt him about it. Such cases were common before too. Top students took many holidays and trained alone with their teachers. Emilia found nothing suspicious about this.
“You seem to be far ahead of your peers in merit points. What are your plans from here on? Are you thinking of taking a break or increasing this gap even further?” Emilia asked Lith.
Lith had only come to greet her and nothing else, so she decided to ask him about his future plans and his daily life at the academy. It was her job to ensure that the academy’s students were doing well. Lith was a top student of his batch, so she was naturally more interested in him in this aspect.
“I’ve not thought about this yet. Do you have any suggestions for me regarding this?” Lith asked.
“Hmm, in my opinion, don’t burn yourself out. Take a break from time to time. It’s good to stay ahead of others and do your best, but you should keep in mind that you are not overdoing it and burning yourself out.” Emilia suggested to Lith.
“Thank you. I’ll keep that in mind.” Lith replied.
“Anything else you would like to talk about?” Emilia asked.
Lith thought for a bit about what he could ask her, as he didn’t want to leave just yet. It wasn’t just him. Nobody else would want to leave the company of such a beautiful angel either. He pondered a bit and said to Emilia, smirking,
“Am I allowed to talk about how beautiful you look, Miss Emilia?”
Emilia raised an eyebrow in surprise as Lith said that thing out of nowhere. She, however, maintained her neutral face and said to Lith in her calm, rich and smooth voice,
“No. You shouldn’t speak about such things, student Lith.”
Lith froze hearing this. ‘Crap, I messed up.’ He thought to himself. ‘Oi, oi, don’t panic, think of something. Don’t make it any more Messier than what it already is. Think Lith, think.’
“Sigh. I am sorry, I couldn’t refrain myself. Miss Emilia is very beautiful and I couldn’t help but ask about it.” Lith said, trying to cover up for his messed up flirting lines from earlier.
Emilia nodded in understanding and said to Lith, “thank you, but yes, please refrain yourself from doing so.”
