Chapter 7. Clash with a slay queen

I had to admit, I looked damn good in the school uniform if l have to say so myself. Black trousers, maroon blazer, and a crisp white shirt underneath—classic.reat her like some kind of royalty? I activated my Appraiser skill.



Holy shit!

She was a B-rank hunter with affinities for water and earth magic. Impressive.

I scanned the rest of the class. Most of the girls were C-rank and on the boys' side, only Derrick was C-rank while the rest were D's and F's.

So that's why she acted so high and mighty. She's the strongest of us all.

I glanced at her again, and this time, our eyes met.

She frowned. "Oh... you. You're back. Come here." She gestured with a single finger.

The hell did she want?

I walked over. "What do you want?" I asked flatly.

The entire class erupted into gasps and whispers.

"You've come back a little stubborn, huh? Is that any way to greet your superior?"

I let out a dry chuckle. "What, you want me to bow?"

Her expression remained dead serious.

"That's exactly what you're supposed to do."

The fuck? Was this chick serious?

"Nah, I'm good. If that's all, I'll be going now." I turned to leave.

But before I could take a step, she grabbed my shoulder hard and yanked me to the ground.

Not gonna lie, her grip was like a damn vice. It felt like I was being manhandled by a giant.

"I hate undisciplined brats in my sight... and you know that! So behave before you end up on my bad side."

I scoffed and pushed myself up. There was no way in hell I'd ever bow to a woman. Never.



Gasps filled the room.

"Asherman! The hell do you think you're doing, bro? You got a death wish?" Adrian muttered.

I didn't get it. Was standing up for myself that shocking?

Whatever! I met Lorraine's gaze head-on and said. "Never do that to me again, little girl."

Her face darkened instantly, like I had just spit the worst insult in existence. Her breath hitched, and I could see her anger boiling over.

Before I could react, she swung a devastating slap across my face that sent me sprawling backward into the classroom furniture.

Shit. It felt like my ribs cracked from that one hit. So much strength in a single person? What is she, a damn gorilla?!

I knew right away that I was no match for her. My body was too weak and powerless.

But bowing?

That was one thing I'd never do. Not in this lifetime. Never bow to a woman. It's better she kills me trying to fight back than bowing!

But l never imagined my stubborn behavior would get me in so much trouble as it did next.
