C13 Advancing Too Fast

From the perspective of Ethan, how could he — a bookworm — dare to retort and disapprove of Christ, the person who is currently bullying and threatening him?

Seeing Ethan accept the task without hesitation, Christ nodded his head in satisfaction.

Ethan — a famous mathematical expert in Hursel High — represented the school by participating in the Regional Junior Junior Martinrtinth Competition last year.

Thus, Christ was not worried about his abilities in math.

"Rollins! Let's see how you are going to compete with me!"

Just as Christ was about to leave, he suddenly saw a beautiful figure walking towards them from a distance.

"Persia? What is she doing here?"

Christ frowned as his heart began blazing like wild fire.

Could it be that Persia also came to ask Ethan for help?

All for Rollins?!

"Persia, you slut!"

Christ's face sunk in rage. However, his face lit back up after coming up with a deadly scheme in his mind.

If Ethan gave the wrong answer to Rollins…

Thinking of this, he fiercely said to Ethan, "Don't tell her that I've personally come to ask you for help, do you hear me?!"

Ethan's face turned bleach pale as he nodded his head like a chick.

Christ immediately turned around and hid in the shadows of the classroom, leaving Ethan alone in the corridor.

Class (7) of the second-year was located on the second floor of the school building, so they soon heard Persia's footsteps coming upstairs.

She had just walked out of the staircase when she noticed Ethan acting strangely in the corridor. Thus, she could not help but be stunned for a moment.

However, she did not give it much thought. She simply smiled and said, "Ethan, there's something I need your help with!"

Due to their parents' relationship, the two of them had known each other ever since childhood. Therefore, Persia did not bother being polite with him and directly said, "Lend me your math textbook for a few days."

Not only Ethan, but even Christ who eavesdropped on their conversation in the classroom could not help but feel shocked.

Why was the plot so different from what he imagined?

Could it be that Rollins was actually so honest that he wanted to read and study the second-year math textbook at night in order to solve that math problem?

Is he not being far too honest?

A cold, menacing glint flashed across Christ's eyes as he thought, "Even so, I will not allow his wishes to be fulfilled!"

Ethan did not think too much into it and happily promised Persia.

"Wait here for a moment, I'll go in and get the textbook for you.

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the classroom before rummaging for the math textbook under his table.

Persia, who was standing outside the corridor, thought that she had helped Rollins a lot. She couldn't help but look at the scenery of the field through the window and start humming happily.

However, she failed to notice a shadow secretly moving behind Ethan in the classroom.

Christ directly slapped on Ethan on his shoulder, scaring him so much he began trembling in fear.

He quickly snatched the math textbook from Ethan's hands and asked with a dark expression, "Which pages deal with the question that I talked to you about?"

"Pages... 30 and 42…"

Christ flipped to the two pages and ripped them off the textbook.

Ethan opened his mouth but did not dare to say anything.

Christ sneered and threw the incomplete book back to Ethan, "You can give it to her now."

"Remember! Don't slip up!"

Ethan nodded repeatedly in fear. Christ glanced at Persia's back as he walked out of the classroom. With a sinister smile, he then disappeared through the back door of the classroom.

"…"

When Rollins received the math textbook from Persia, he was so elated that he could not help but blurt out, "Persia, allow me to treat you to some beef noodles at my house as a form of gratitude. Is that fine with you?"

Rollins swore to the heavens that he just wanted to thank Persia, and that he definitely did not have any impure thoughts.

Persia seemed to have misunderstood something as her entire face turned completely red and blurted out, "House...? Your house?!"

"N-no, no, our relationship is advancing too fast!"

"A-Ah Hong, that… I-I'll go home first! "

Finishing her words, Persia lowered her head, hugged her schoolbag tightly, and fled in a panic like a gust of wind.

Only Rollins, who wore a confused expression on his face, was left behind.

"Was eating a bowl beef noodles… that scary?
