I had no desire to engage in an unnecessary argument with a man I not only disliked but hated. So I just stared at him with a blank expression.

Ozworld scanned my calm face with a slow gaze and asked in a voice dripping with sarcasm. “Are you choosing to ignore me completely?”

“We don’t see eye to eye, so talking more will only hurt our feelings.”

Of course, he’s deliberately saying things to make me angry.

Ozworld sighed as if he were tired. “I can’t allow you to quit being my assistant. Continue coming to the lab.”

I planned to ignore him.

“And it’s best if you don’t think of going to Euges.”

Until he mentioned Euges.

“That’s none of your business.”

“You’d be wise not to do anything you’ll regret.”

Ding!

[If you mess with Euges, I won’t tolerate it.]

“Don’t mess with him.”

I warned him sternly with a hardened face, and Ozworld responded kindly.

“That won’t happen if you don’t go to him.”

“Why!” I swallowed my sudden surge of emotion and spoke again. “I don’t understand why there’s such a condition. Euges is my male lead. He’s the real male lead I must maintain a relationship with, according to the scenario.” Unlike you, who is just a fake male lead.

“So, do you plan to choose Euges?”

I couldn’t answer.

“It’s funny to talk about male leads when you don’t intend to choose one. It’s a meaningless discussion now, so what difference does it make?”

He finally snapped my last thread of patience.

“Shut up! If you do anything to Euges, I won’t let you off! Ever,

!”

Before I could finish, Ozworld grabbed my chin and lifted it forcefully. “You keep forgetting your place, Miss Theresa.” His dark ocean-colored eyes bore down on me.

The primal fear made my mind go blank. All I could do was breathe heavily, my shoulders heaving. But I glared at him with burning eyes.

Tears, which I never wanted to show, welled up and finally fell down my cheeks. The stress felt like it would shatter my head. I closed my eyes, feeling faint. More tears spilled as I shut my eyes.

Then Ozworld gently stroked my cheek and kissed my swollen eyelids. “I was a bit harsh because I was irritated. I don’t like seeing you cry.” He wiped my tears and hugged me.

Ozworld acting like a male lead suddenly was repulsively creepy. But I was too weak to push him away, so I let him do as he wished.

“I’ll handle the early graduation issue. Don’t worry about it.” Ozworld gently touched my forehead as if he couldn’t see my expression. “You have a fever.”

From his behavior, anyone would think we were lovers making up.

I couldn’t stand it anymore and tried to push him away, but I couldn’t escape his hold. “Let go.”

“You should rest in your dorm today.”

“Get lost.”

“I’ll take you.”

Crazy man. Psycho b*stard.

Ozworld ignored my protests and took me to the dormitory entrance. I mustered all my remaining strength and shook off his hand.

“Just hit me. Treat me like trash and despise me like you always do. It suits you better.”

Despite my outburst, Ozworld calmly knocked on the dorm door. Eloise, who had been ignoring my shouting, opened the door with a surprised expression. She clearly hadn’t expected Ozworld to be the one I was yelling at.

Ozworld smiled kindly at Eloise. “Miss Theresa isn’t feeling well. Please take care of her.”

“…

, yes, understood.”

I glared at Ozworld as if to kill him, then entered the dorm with Eloise.

After that day, I didn’t leave the dorm for a while. Eloise, though curious about my relationship with Ozworld, didn’t ask about what had happened between us. Instead, she prepared delicious meals and gently suggested inviting friends over for tea. I must have seemed in a very bad mood.

“Should I go to the lecture today…?”

It was awful that it had to be Ozworld’s lecture, but I needed to attend to avoid being expelled.

[How about negotiating with the chairman to get out of Ozworld’s lectures?]

It might be possible if I asked. But it would make me look pathetic.

Getting expelled would be ruining it too.

I procrastinated until just before lecture time, then reluctantly changed into my uniform and headed out.

“Hello, Senior!”

“

, president! Hello!”

I greeted my juniors warmly and took a seat in a corner, quickly fading from attention.

The classroom atmosphere was generally calm. No one gave me hostile looks. In fact, some who used to antagonize me avoided eye contact or moved seats. They were acting like people who had something to hide.

Ozworld said he’d handle the early graduation issue, so he must have done something. Not that it made me grateful.

When class started, Ozworld entered gracefully as usual. He acknowledged me without any special reaction and began writing the recipe on the board. I was curious about how he’d react to seeing me, but his sensible behavior was surprising.

[Why do I dislike Ozworld so much now?]

Ding!

[

Normal reaction.]

Several constellations who had witnessed Ozworld’s irrational and violent behavior expressed strong displeasure. Overall, however, the donations hadn’t decreased significantly.

Constellations who weren’t deeply immersed seemed to watch quietly. They didn’t want to comment and risk getting into trouble with those who disliked Ozworld.

Even Jupi suspected the script was fake, so many constellations probably thought the same.

After making the potion perfectly, I walked around helping juniors who asked for assistance. I didn’t want to help Ozworld, but my juniors didn’t know about our issues. They likely still thought I was his assistant. Even if not, it would be strange to ignore juniors asking for help.

The lecture ended without incident. I hurriedly packed my things into subspace and tried to leave with the other students.

“Miss Theresa.”

But Ozworld was quicker and called me over.

“Yes, Professor.”

“How are you feeling?”

“I’m fine.”

The students slowed their steps and kept glancing our way. I didn’t know how Ozworld resolved the graduation issue, but they probably thought that his relationship with me was unusual. Expecting some juicy gossip, they kept looking over.

Ozworld gazed at me with an expression that created an odd atmosphere as if showing special concern.

What’s his trick? I frowned slightly, and Ozworld smirked and gestured with his head.

“Let’s go to the lab. I have something to say.”

I forced a “Yes,” suppressing the urge to refuse rudely in front of everyone.

That was the worst part.

As soon as I entered the lab, I scoffed coldly. “Don’t pretend to care, Professor. It’s creepy. And stop calling me aside like this.”

Ding!
