Chapter 93: Working for Free
"By today... Miss Migludia, you've been attending classes for a month."
"How does it feel?"
Loki blinked when she met Genus's gaze.
Have I really been taking classes for a month already?
She didn't seem to feel anything, since most of the time she still felt like a student... except that she wasn't listening to the principles and spells of magic, but rather the teacher's teaching style.
"It feels... alright, I guess?" Luo Qixi wasn't quite sure herself. Maybe she should try it out herself?
"If it goes well... then can I assign you the first class after the next batch of freshmen arrives?" Genus said slowly, "Usually, new professors are responsible for mentoring freshmen."
"The new students are also easier to manage." Genus's words made Loki nod slightly.
Indeed... she felt she should have no problem teaching regular students, but if it came to speaking to those less obedient students... she felt she might not be able to be too harsh or anything...
"If there's nothing else... then let's arrange it like this?" Genius said, shrugging. "As for the specific lesson content... just take their level into account."
"Mm." Luo Qixi nodded gently, then picked up a stack of documents that needed to be signed and prepared to leave, but after taking only a few steps, she suddenly stopped.
"Oh, right..." As if remembering something, Luo Qixi suddenly turned her head, then pursed her lips and looked at Genus seriously.
"Vice Principal Genius..."
"Huh?" Genus paused, then asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Ah... I see..." Luo Qixi said with a smile, "I've been working for a month now, right?"
"uh-huh?"
"So...is it almost time for me to get paid?" Luo Qixi asked Genas with a hint of anticipation. "Even though the teacher signed for me back then...it should be almost time to pay, right?"
"When was it... and how much did it cost?"
"..." Upon hearing this, Genus suddenly fell silent. He awkwardly looked away, and then slowly lowered his head under Loki's gaze.
No… Vice Principal Genius, was I being rude? Why did you suddenly stop talking? I'm not asking for a salary or anything… I just wanted to ask…
"Didn't Principal Sylvania tell you?" After a long silence, Genas finally spoke slowly.
Tell me...what?
Luo Qixi suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Your job is unpaid."
"Huh?" Luo Qixi's lips twitched, thinking she had misheard.
But Genus's serious expression told Loki that she hadn't misheard.
She does not receive a salary.
But... the teacher didn't forgive me... no... although the teacher forgave me later, she never mentioned the salary issue!
Luo Qixi suddenly realized what was happening, biting her lip, and then her short legs quickly strode out of the office.
Watching her retreating figure, Genius revealed a slightly gloating expression.
"teacher!"
As soon as they returned to the Astronomy Tower, Luo Qixi flung open the door and shouted, "Are you awake?"
"Hmm...hmm?" Cinderella sat up from the coffin, still half asleep, looking around with a slightly dizzy head.
"What's wrong? Is it evening already? That's strange... it's still so bright... is there a fire?"
Although the teacher was in a rare, dazed state, looking quite adorable, Luo Qixi felt nothing but dissatisfaction and anger.
"It's daytime now," Luo Qixi said slowly, looking at her teacher. "But I have something I'd like to ask you, teacher."
"What is it?" Cidelina asked, squinting slightly. "I'm not hungry right now."
"It's not about being hungry!" Luo Qixi asked, dissatisfied. "Teacher, did you tell Vice Principal Genius that I don't need a salary?"
"Ah... about that..." Cidelyn nodded knowingly, then after a few seconds, said, "Didn't I tell you that?"
"I thought it was a joke, teacher!"
"Are you kidding me?" Cinderella twitched her ears. "Now you know it's not true, right?"
What are you so smug about?
The thought of how she had spent the past month doing laundry, cooking, serving tea and water, attending classes, and even processing documents for her teacher, only to receive no pay after all that work, made Luo Qixi want to grab her teacher's hair and unleash a fire spell.
Thinking of this, Luo Qixi pursed her lips and tilted her head: "In that case... Teacher, you can forget about sucking my blood!"
"Hey, hey, hey..." Upon hearing this, Cinderella immediately suppressed her smug expression. She coughed and said, "Regarding the blood-sucking... I will still pay you as agreed."
"I don't need that money anymore," Luo Qixi said angrily. "If you don't pay me a salary for a month, I won't let you leech off me for a month."
"Are you threatening me?" Cidel asked calmly upon hearing this.
Luo Qixi was momentarily flustered when she met the teacher's cold eyes, but when she saw the slight twitching of the teacher's ears, she understood...
The teacher is just pretending to be indifferent!
"Of course I wouldn't dare threaten you, teacher." So Luo Qixi pouted and said, "After all, you are the principal, and I'm just an ordinary teacher."
"But I think I can still make my own decision about whether or not to do business with you, right?"
"Where did she learn that from?!" Completely oblivious, Sidley frowned slightly... She'd originally planned to scare Loki and brush it off... but now it seemed a bit difficult...
"Um... I'll handle this." After thinking for a moment, Catherine said, "I'll tell Genius it's a misunderstanding."
"It must be a misunderstanding."
"Your salary will be paid soon."
"How long is 'not long'?"
"Hmm..." Cidel paused, "Two or three days, maybe?"
"You must be lying to me, right?"
"Ugh!" Cinderella hadn't expected her reputation with Loki to be so bad, and she hadn't expected Loki to have guessed her thoughts... She was planning to stall for as long as possible.
And… thinking of something, Cinderella suddenly showed a displeased expression: “Don’t you know why you don’t get paid?”
"It's all because you called me an old woman!"
Teacher, you still remember this?! Luo Qixi was at a loss for words. I apologized to you back then, and you forgave me... Why bring this up again now?
Seeing Luo Qixi's speechless expression, Xi Delin shrugged slightly: "So let's leave it at that. I'll pay you your salary whenever I've calmed down."
Isn't this the same as saying nothing at all?
Loki looked at Cinderella with resentment, but there was nothing she could do... In the end, she could only sigh helplessly, and then, to Cinderella's somewhat surprised look, she picked up the document and began to read it.
Ok?
Isn't this a bit too much?
Seeing Loki working even like this, Cinderella felt a little embarrassed... Was she arguing with a child?
It must be because I just woke up... I am a noble and elegant progenitor of the vampire clan... How could I hold a grudge just because someone called me an old woman, right?
Finally, she pursed her lips and slowly said, "How about this... I'll tell Genius and let him handle this."
"But I don't care about the specific salary or anything like that."
"Great! Long live the teacher!" Seeing Loki immediately cheer up, Cinderella shook her head helplessly.
"Wishing vampires a long life isn't necessarily a blessing."
