I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 473

Chapter 19: Warning of Retention

Sitting on the couch, Xue Nuo stared at the black-haired boy across from her, whose expression was awkward, along with three girls who had their heads down and the blonde maid standing helplessly to the side. After a long silence, she rubbed her throbbing forehead and let out a sigh.

“Surprise. I didn’t expect the Lionheart Princess’s oath knight, the victor of the Trial of Blue, the model of the younger generation who thwarted the cultists’ schemes, would privately break school rules by cohabiting with multiple female classmates for impure reasons!”

Xue Nuo shook her head, her tone dripping with disappointment: “Disappointment. Roy, who is admired by many, turned out to be a playboy. I’m very disappointed.”

Direct as a knife.

Roy opened his mouth but couldn’t think of a single word to refute her.

Because she hadn’t said a word wrong!

Xue Nuo Andweiss, the last girl protagonist in “Angel Waltz,” and the most terrifying one at that.

Fair and objective, she never makes irrelevant comments, meaning if she catches someone on a slip-up, they have nothing to say.

Except for Alice, who was a maid and could cohabit with her master.

Even on weekends, students weren’t allowed to stay in other dormitories. If it’s a member of the opposite sex, it’s an even graver offense, and if there are multiple offenders, it gets even worse. If anything indecent occurs, well that’s a whole new level of punishment!

Being caught in the act like this left Roy with no way to squirm out of it!

In fact, while school rules are school rules and teachers are teachers, typically no one bothers with checks during the weekends.

Of course, Xue Nuo was that kind of teacher who might actually check her students’ dorms out of boredom.

Who could have thought that this person, who had never shown up all semester, would suddenly appear right in front of him today?!

The silver-haired girl slightly leaned back, her slender figure stood like a rose in the snow, her black silk-covered legs casually lifting, and her cold gaze from beneath snowy eyebrows looked down, emanating a full-fledged sense of oppression.

Under this pressure, even Charlotte and the others couldn’t hold their heads high.

After all, no matter how noble their status in society, in the Academy, it was ultimately the relationship of teacher and student.

Moreover, the Empire and Kingdom were close neighbors, and Charlotte and Xue Nuo had known each other since childhood, with the latter being like a “younger sister” to the former.

Xue Nuo had also been the homeroom teacher for Leanna last semester, making her suffer quite a bit.

As for Nia, she was the type who turned into a total space cadet at the sight of a powerful teacher, only able to mumble “Abba Abba Abba…”

Thus, the trio of girls, who were fiercely stubborn among themselves, found themselves surprisingly shrinking in Xue Nuo’s presence.

Once again, Xue Nuo criticized: “Confusion. You all hold high positions and have incredible talents, why lower yourselves to be played by such a person?”

Charlotte frowned: “Sister Xue Nuo… Teacher Xue Nuo! That’s a harsh thing to say. We’re just in a relationship with Roy!”

Leanna also said sternly: “Besides, what do you mean by ‘such a person’? Roy has never harmed or exploited us, our feelings are pure love, and he is definitely not the kind of playboy you’re familiar with!”

Nia: “Abba Abba Abba…”

Xue Nuo narrowed her cold eyes and retorted with a casual scoff: “Pure love?”

“Childish. Being obsessed with love and neglecting your studies is a laughable behavior for little girls. I can’t believe the Lionheart Princess and the Student Council President can’t see through this!”

“Your feelings are meaningless; they’re merely wasting your lives!”

Under Xue Nuo’s relentless barrage, Charlotte found it increasingly hard to counter, unsure how to respond.

It was then that Roy spoke up.

“Wait, Teacher Xue Nuo.”

Xue Nuo looked over, her eyes devoid of warmth: “Do you have something to argue?”

In Xue Nuo’s experience, the first response from any student who made a mistake is to defend themselves.

The difference lies only in the quality of their arguments and their intelligence.

However, Roy replied in a calm and humble tone: “It was indeed my fault for violating school rules by letting Charlotte and the others stay over. I don’t plan on arguing about that.”

Xue Nuo’s eyelashes fluttered slightly.

“But I hope you can withdraw what you just said.” Roy’s expression turned serious: “Our feelings are definitely not meaningless.”

Honestly, Roy didn’t want to turn against Xue Nuo.

Admitting his mistake and avoiding the storm was also a viable option.

But his feelings for Charlotte and the others were a line Roy couldn’t cross.

“Teacher Xue Nuo, have you ever been in love?”

Xue Nuo scoffed: “Deny. I’ve never been in love nor had any relationship beyond friendship, but I’ve seen many who indulged in love while neglecting their lives, even getting deceived and hurt—”

“So because you’ve only seen those cases, you think everyone’s love is the same?”

That icy expression finally showed a hint of emotion.

“Confusion. What exactly are you trying to say?”

Whether it was Charlotte, who challenged the Crimson Blood Dragon alone, or Nia, who was willing to sacrifice herself to save her friend from a monster, or Leanna, who begged Roy not to confront the Flame Demon despite knowing she couldn’t win.

Every relationship had endured the trials of life and death. So Roy had every confidence in saying this.

Roy stated firmly: “My feelings for Charlotte and the others are definitely not as childish and ridiculous as you’re familiar with.”

“You haven’t experienced it, so you can’t understand. But you don’t have the right to criticize, even if you are my teacher.”

The three girls stared at Roy, each feeling a little flutter in their hearts but worrying about him standing up to the teacher.

Xue Nuo’s brows furrowed deeply, her expression as cold as ice.

The atmosphere reached a breaking point.

You haven’t experienced it, so you don’t understand.

This is probably what all older generations say when lecturing the younger. Of course, that younger generation daring to use this line back at their elders would only backfire, even if they were right.

Very few elders would admit that they fall short of their juniors in right or wrong.

Charlotte and the others feared that Xue Nuo would fly into a rage and punish Roy severely, feeling tense to the max.

However, the silver-haired girl managed to rein in her criticizing demeanor, sitting upright and slightly lowering her head towards the young boy before her.

“Apology. I see now that you have a point. I retract my previous statement and apologize for insulting your feelings.”

Charlotte and the others widened their eyes in disbelief at Xue Nuo’s concession.

The “Ice Rose” was thought to be an icy teacher in the eyes of all the staff and students, yet she actually lowered her head?

Even Roy was a bit astonished.

Xue Nuo seemed cold and unfeeling, but she wasn’t unreasonable. As long as someone pointed out her mistakes, she would admit it firmly.

Yet, for a teacher to so straightforwardly apologize to a student was still quite surprising.

He only said “retract,” but didn’t demand an “apology.”

Roy secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Looks like he didn’t have to worry about opposing this scariest of heroines…

However, Xue Nuo then shifted her tone, her expression becoming serious again: “However, Roy, I didn’t come to find you to criticize your cohabitation, but to discuss another matter.”

Roy looked a bit bewildered: “Please, go ahead, Teacher.”

Xue Nuo took out a report card and revealed a horrible piece of news that would send shivers down the spine of every student.

“Regrettably, your credits have dropped to the warning line; if this continues, you’ll have to face retention.”

“……Huh?!”
