Coolest Girl in Town

“It’s almost time for the night self-study session. Let’s go to the classroom. We can meet the new students in our class too.” As Addison said that, she tugged on Elise and left the hostel together. As they arrived at their classroom, they were met with a bunch of boys who cheered upon their entrance. One of the more daring male classmates wasted no time before he asked, “Hey, do you happen to be in the right classroom? This is the Mathematics Faculty!”

At once, Addison retorted, “And? We are Mathematics majors.” Upon hearing that, the male classmate was excited. “Holy moly! They’re really in our class! Finally, there are some girls! Otherwise, we’d be a class full of monks.” With her brow raised, she asked, “Are there no other girls in this class?” The boy then shook his head.

“We’ve only met the two of you thus far.” As he said that, he took a glance at Elise. Due to the mask she was wearing, he couldn’t see her face clearly, but he deduced that she’d look fine too seeing that her friend, Addison, was quite the pretty one.

She then nudged Elise before saying sotto voce, “I can’t explain how, but I feel like I’m being watched like prey. If only I knew earlier, I would have chosen to study foreign languages with Ricky.”

Tossing her a consoling look, Elise said, “Don’t worry! I don’t think it will just be the two of us girls in this class. There must be other girls who aren’t here yet.” At once, Addison’s face lit up. “Really?” “I think so.” Just as Elise said that, four girls came through the classroom door. At that moment, the cheer from the class got even louder. Seeing that, Elise raised her brow and said, “See! Aren’t these girls in our class?” Hearing that, Addison seemed to be more at ease.

Do prepare a speech tonight and take it easy on stage tomorrow.” With a nod, she replied, “Alright.” At this moment, the office’s door was knocked on, and an elderly man who seemed to be in his

glad in her response. After all, it was very rare for someone at her level to be so humble. “Elise, I’m here today to discuss something with you.” Professor Merlin took a glance at her homeroom teacher at the side

the university. The topics that he conducted research on were mostly hot topics in the country. Even the homeroom teacher himself didn’t get
