In response to Jordan’s meaningful smile, Debra replied indifferently, “No.”
Jordan was surprised. “You don’t want to know?”
“Not interested.”
No matter who the professor was, she just needed to behave and graduate smoothly.
“Do you know who I am?”
“Mr. Jordan Potter, as the dean just mentioned.”
“Yet you dare to speak to me like this?”
Debra turned her head, looking seriously at Jordan. “Well, we’re in class right now.”
Jordan scrutinized her, about to approach and continue the conversation, when Randy pushed up his glasses and pointed at Jordan from the podium.
Randy felt obliged to protect the woman favored by his buddy.
Jordan frowned, but surprisingly, didn’t get angry at Randy.
Everyone tacitly understood. Arcane Academy, known for its elite student body, employed influential figures like Randy to manage these privileged students where ordinary professors failed.
Randy was backed by Marion.
Marion seemed to have no influence there, but since Caleb acknowledged his identity, he had established himself in this city.
Marion was known as a desperado, and every business had some unsavory dealings that could only be handled by him.
They wouldn’t want to offend him.
“So, let’s start with self–introductions to get to know each other. We’ll be spending a lot of time together.” Randy put on a friendly expression.
Everyone introduced themselves one by one. They spoke animatedly about their family businesses, the mines they owned, their international education backgrounds, or their achievements in society.
When it was Debra’s turn, she simply said, “I’m Debra Frazier.”
Then she left the podium.
The other students exchanged glances, seeming to reach some kind of consensus.
Debra, the newlywed wife of Juan, was rumored in their circle to have entered Arcane Academy through his connections, not based on her own merit.
Such a woman, even if she was beautiful, was looked down upon by them.
“Jordan Potter.”
Following immediately, Jordan stated his name and then stepped down from the podium.
Debra was a married woman who was admitted through connections, while Jordan was known as the most extravagant and violent kid in upper–class circles
Everyone believed they both had been admitted through bribery.
“After class, wait for me at the exit,” Jordan suddenly said.
Debra gave no response.
The self–introductions quickly ended. Right after class, Jordan walked out of the classroom because Randy was constantly monitoring him.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Debra intentionally slowed down, pretending to tidy her notes. After everyone left, Randy came down from the podium and asked, “How did you provoke Jordan?”
“Provoke? I haven’t,” Debra replied innocently.
“Come on! I saw it. You deliberately got close to Jordan, but I advise you not to provoke that guy. He’s backed by Andrew Potter,” Randy said.
