Coolest Girl in Town

Stunned by the look Elise was giving her, Janice was frightened and quickly said, “I’ll go out with you.” The two of them walked out until they reached the end of the hallway. Elise stopped and didn’t beat around the bush but simply said outright, “You were the one who locked me in the toilet yesterday, right?” When Janice heard this, her expression changed at once. However, she refused to admit it. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I didn’t do such a thing. Elise sneered, “It’s fine if you don’t admit it. We all know what’s going on here.

I heard that there’s a surveillance camera in the corridor of the conference room, so it must’ve caught something! Why don’t I go to the counselor right now and ask him to help me check it out? We’ll know what actually happened then, won’t we?” Janice staggered and almost fell as she stammered, “Y-You…” After a while, she still didn’t manage a complete sentence. Moreover, because of how nervous she was, sweat beaded her forehead, and she immediately said, “I-I admit. I did it. I… just wanted to teach you a lesson. I didn’t intend to do anything else to you.

I was just saying that to get you to confess. But, I guess I have evidence now…” Janice subconsciously stretched out her hand to grab the phone. “Give it to me.” However, Elise was quicker than her and moved the phone away. “Janice, I originally thought that you were just a spoiled child and not evil. But, now, I have to revisit my impression of you.”

Elise wasn’t afraid. “You can try!” When Janice realized that Elise wasn’t kidding, she pursed her lips, then finally said, “I won’t do anything anymore. Would you please delete the recording?” Elise was amenable to persuasion and not force, but she knew that if she deleted the recording, Janice might do something even worse next time, so she still needed something to suppress her. “I won’t delete the recording for now. It all depends on you. If you

next time—” Before Elise could finish, Janice immediately interrupted, “There won’t be a next time. I promise. Please don’t publish the recording.” Seeing as Janice was frightened of her, Elise stopped and didn’t go further. “All right. It’s a deal.” With that, Elise turned and left a dejected Janice, who felt helpless but had no other choice. Now that Elise had something to use against her, this was all she could do. After handling Janice, Elise was relieved. At least for a short period of time, Janice would stop with her

Then, she placed the phone back in her pocket. … Meanwhile, after Professor Merlin was done studying Elise’s calculations in his office, he exclaimed, “Genius! What a genius! She’s really a rare genius, a miracle to

Professor Walter wanted to reach for it, but Professor Merlin slapped his hand away. “Don’t touch it. What if you destroy it?” “It’s not that I want to criticize you, but what is it that you find so precious! You said you want to show it to me, but you’re not letting me hold it. How am

Her answers and the steps are correct.” When he heard this, Professor Walter was no longer calm. “What are you talking about? She figured it out? How is this possible…” Having said
