Magical Cat

The kitten was ashamed.

The kitten was helpless.

No one could do anything about the old woman's outburst, and the students could only endure it.

After all, in the classroom, the old woman is the teacher and the students are the most powerful group.

The old woman cursed for a full half hour, but she was still not satisfied. She was so tired that her mouth was dry from cursing that she waved her hand and punished the students by making them run twenty laps around the playground, calling it a "warm-up before class."

Even though students have physical education classes on weekdays, running twenty laps is still a considerable burden.

The college's track is quite large; one lap is about 500 meters, so twenty laps would be...

It's been many kilometers.

Mages have never been physically strong, and after just a few laps, some were already panting heavily.

Although the Royal Magic Academy values ​​students' physical fitness, many students still don't take it seriously, neglecting their physical fitness classes and always looking for opportunities to slack off.

Encountering an old woman's outburst can truly be a torment.

The old woman wouldn't allow them to run separately; they had to maintain formation at all times. If even one person hadn't finished running, they had to keep running.

It has to be said that old women always seem to have a knack for this kind of collective punishment without any formal instruction, as if they possess some kind of collective will, making one wonder if they have some kind of secret forum for communication.

After undergoing spiritual energy tempering, Li En's physique far surpassed that of an ordinary kitten, reaching the level of a magical beast.

Therefore, running dozens of laps is not a burden for him.

He ran alongside Elaine, carefully observing the expressions of the other students.

The top student, Safina, was covered in sweat, but remained calm.

Weber muttered to himself as he ran, secretly cursing the old woman.

To Li En's surprise, Barbara also came to take classes here.

Although first-year students are not divided into classes, their courses are taught separately.

When there are too many students in a class, the quality of teaching will decrease.

But it seems Barbara has switched to this class.

As for other theoretical classes, I didn't see her and Elaine in the same class.

"Is this guy still holding a grudge against Elaine?"

Li En also had some impression of this little green tea.

He's said to be popular in the college, but he doesn't actually have any special methods.

Although the students in the academy were not young, most of them were still immature because they were all born into noble families and were pampered.

Moreover, this age is when hormones are at their peak, so there are always times when they get carried away.

At this moment, even Barbara, the little green tea b*tch, couldn't keep her expression in check. With a gloomy look on her face, she muttered to herself, cursing the old woman just like Webber.

Li En had sharp ears and heard them all clearly.

"You old hag, you stinking old hag, going through menopause, nobody loves you, you didn't even have a son..."

It seems that even the nobles' insults are nothing new.

The students had run ten laps when the old woman suddenly told them to stop.

"Safina, Barbara, Webber..."

"You ran very seriously, and your attitude was good. You can rest now."

Several students from good families and with excellent academic performance were named.

Those whose names were called felt as if they had been granted a pardon and quickly went to rest on the lawn in the middle of the playground.

The others could only cast envious glances at them, then continue running in silence.

They were already used to the old woman's preferential treatment and knew that such special treatment was something they could only envy.

But it was precisely this behavior of the old woman that led the students to also categorize their classmates into different classes.

Webber and Barbara had so many lackeys around them, and the old woman deserves the most credit for that.

Li En saw all of this and his disgust for the old woman deepened.

After running twenty laps, the remaining students were all panting heavily, some unable to stand and lying down on the grass, gasping for breath.

Sweat soaked through many people's clothes, but some people remained dry.

The college uniform and gym uniform look the same, but they are actually quite different.

You can easily find a shop in the city that specializes in altering school uniforms to create all sorts of patterns.

For example, some people's school uniforms nowadays have built-in sweat-wicking and moisture-wicking functions to keep them dry.

For some, school uniforms can even increase physical attributes, making them run faster and more easily.

However, such enchantments are quite expensive, and even among nobles, not everyone can afford them.

In fact, among the students, those fallen nobles suffered the most.

They are not ordinary people, yet they suffer the same treatment as ordinary people; such disparity is even more tormenting.

For example, right now, the old woman saw that everyone was resting, so she started calling out again.

"Who told you to rest after you've run enough?"

The students looked at each other in bewilderment. Sometimes, the old woman's illogical statements made them sincerely wonder if she had dementia or lost her mind.

But when you're under someone else's roof, you have to accept whatever they say. After all, the power is in the old woman's hands.

"You, you, and all of you!"

The old woman, like a grim reaper, pointed out the resident unlucky guy in the class.

Aside from Elaine, who is undoubtedly the unluckiest of the bunch, the rest of them, although born into noble families, have long since fallen into poverty and can no longer even maintain the dignity of nobility.

The unfortunate students were all wearing plain school uniforms, without any decorations or enchantments, and some even had faded to varying degrees, clearly due to excessive starching.

Elaine's school uniform was the lightest in color.

"You're running listlessly and slacking off right under my nose. I don't know how lazy you are normally. I won't allow you good-for-nothings to tarnish the academy's reputation. Run ten more laps, and don't stop until I'm satisfied!"

The students who were singled out by the old woman were furious.

They all ran twenty laps, so there's no question of slacking off.

Everyone was already aware of the old woman's usual behavior, and knew that this was her blatant discrimination.

But this was their first time taking a practical lesson with an old lady, and they never expected her to go so far.

It's important to know that, apart from Elaine, the others were all of noble birth; it's just that their families had fallen on hard times.

This wasn't just being targeted by the old woman; it was also embarrassing in front of his classmates.

This made them so angry that they almost lost their minds and wanted to fight the old woman.

But the old woman had a sinister smirk on her lips, clearly still hoping for this to happen.

If that's the case, the old woman can punish them however she wants, and she can even make a big fuss and expel these students she doesn't like.

Among the students who were punished, Elaine was the first to run.

Her face was almost expressionless; she simply continued running on the playground without a straight face.

Li En glanced coldly at the old woman, then remained by Elaine's side.

As Elaine started running, the students who had been called out gradually resigned themselves to their fate and continued running laps while holding their breath.

But even in such circumstances, there are always those who refuse to accept their fate and believe that fairness and justice still stand on their side in the face of power.

"Ms. Foppert, this is deliberately targeting me. I'm going to complain to the college!"

A thin boy stared stubbornly at the old woman, looking determined to defend his rights.

The old woman sneered, "First of all, Mr. Ross, since you're still in my class, you have to listen to me."

"If you can't keep up with my teaching, you're welcome to contact the academy at any time."

"But it must be said that the decline of the Gepler family is not without reason. With an incompetent offspring like you, it will probably not be long before you completely lose your magical talent and become a lowly commoner."

"Hahaha……"

The old woman laughed triumphantly, as if she derived immense pleasure from trampling on the dignity of others.

This behavior caused most of the students to frown.

The old woman's behavior showed absolutely no trace of aristocratic etiquette or manners.
