Anon entered the academy and promptly headed towards his classroom. He walked in a swift manner, as he only had the thoughts of getting sweet sleep on the last bench of the classroom.

‘Mr. Richard’s class started about 5 minutes ago… I should head over there and catch some sleep, that stupid won’t even notice if I am there or not.’ Anon mused as he made his way to Richard’s classroom.

Approaching the classroom, Anon noticed that the principal was inside the classroom and she was addressing the class about something. Anon entered inside without hesitation and strolled towards the back row.

As the principal’s gaze fell upon Anon, she displayed a brief moment of shock before regaining her composure.

‘jule ? How did he got back from the Jane house so fast and with every single body part attached to his body ? That’s a miracle but how dare he enter the class that I am teaching without my permission ? Today I will teach him a very valuable lesson.’ The principal thought in her mind.

“Mr. Jule, am I invisible to you?” the principal inquired, her tone laced with irritation.

“Hehe…” Richard, who stood behind her, couldn’t help but laugh, remembering a similar exchange where he had asked Jule the same question.

“What’s so funny, Mr. Richard? Is there something about my question that amuses you ? You want to share it with everyone, huh ?” the principal queried, her anger mounting.

“N-No… ma’am, I apologize,” Richard hastily responded as he bowed down to the principal in an apologetic manner. 𝘦𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝑙.

“Good… know your limits.” The principal spoke as she turned to face Anon again, only to find him no longer standing where she had halted him. He was now at the rear of the classroom, in front of Deris.

“So, she gave you the healing potion and apologized, huh?” Anon asked, touching Deris’s face and examining it closely.

“Y-Yes… She even compensated me with some money,” Deris replied with a smile.

“Well, good for you. What’s up, Eve—” Anon was interrupted by a loud noise reverberating through the room.

“That’s enough… Mr. Jule, come to the front of the class,” the principal declared loudly.

Anon looked at her, bewildered by what he had done wrong.

“Is there a problem?” Anon inquired with a puzzled expression.

“Yes, there is a problem, and it’s a big one. Come to the front and stand before the entire class,” the principal exclaimed, her anger palpable.

“Wow, did our usually composed principal just curse in front of the whole class?”

“I can’t believe it, she lost her cool.”

“She’s furious, and Jule only made it worse.”

The students started gossiping animatedly.

“Quiet, everyone, or I will suspend the entire class,” the principal shouted.

The class fell silent, and they all gazed at Anon with sympathetic expressions, as if anticipating something terrible.

“So, what’s the issue?” Anon questioned, stopping in front of the principal and regarding her with a broad smile.

“Ladies and gentlemen, for this year’s Academic Exchange, Mr. Jule will be representing your class. Thank you, and now I shall take my leave,” the principal announced, taking Anon’s hand and raising it before the class.

“Oh boy, he’s in for it now.”

“Our academy is going up against the Four Leaf Clover Academy, right?”

“This guy is in deep trouble.”

The students began conversing again, this time looking at Anon with despondent expressions.

“What are you doing?” Anon asked, perplexed.

“What am I doing? This is your punishment for not listening to me. You will be representing your class in the upcoming Academic Exchange. Enjoy, kid,” the principal whispered, smiling at Anon.

“Okay,” Anon responded with a composed expression.

“What?!” The principal suddenly appeared bewildered.

“Okay, I’ll do it. Can I go sleep now?” Anon asked, maintaining a serious demeanor.

“Alright then, you want to act tough, huh? You think you can pretend that this doesn’t faze you? Very well, I’ll see you in two days, Mr. Jule,” the principal remarked.

“Okay…” Anon replied calmly.

“I’ll be taking my leave now,” the principal said, glancing at Richard, and then left the classroom.

“Yes, ma’am,” Richard bowed to the principal and turned to Anon with a sly grin.

“So, can I go now?” Anon asked.

“Oh, certainly, son. Go and enjoy your nap in peace,” Richard replied with utmost politeness.

Anon made his way to the back row and sat down, looking at Eve.

Eve had a slight smile on her face as she observed Anon.

“What’s up?” Anon asked.

“You’re such a fool…” Eve remarked.

“What do you mean?” Anon inquired with a puzzled expression.

“Do you even know what the Academic Exchange is?” Eve questioned.

‘These **ing elves, they think they know everything… I read the Academy journal even before coming to the Elf kingdom, and I know all about the Academic Exchange.

In the Academic Exchange, various Elven Academies gather for a big competition to determine which one is the best Academy in the elven kingdom. The winning Academy receives the prestigious ‘Best Academy in the Kingdom’ Award, which greatly enhances its reputation. It attracts more admissions and donations from across the Elf kingdom.

This competition takes place annually in the capital. The top three performers earn the chance for part-time soldier training in the castle while getting a scholarship at their current academy.

That Queen elf will fulfill all my desires once I enslave her by corrupting her mind. This is going to be fun… hehehehehehe,’ Anon thought, sporting a wide, perverted smile.

“Jule? Do you really know what the Academic Exchange entails?” Eve repeated.

“Hmm…? Oh, yeah, I have a basic idea. It’s about fighting with students from other academies, right?” Anon responded, pretending to be unaware of the details to see if he could glean any additional information.

“That’s not all… the exchange involves other challenges and knowledge quizzes too,” Eve explained.

‘Huh…? I didn’t read about that in the book,’ Anon thought, looking at Eve with confusion.

“Could you elaborate, Luv?” Anon asked.
