Marking the Tsundere Eldest Miss of the Noble Academy [Omega] - Chapter 3

Her angry outburst instantly caused Chen Shiru’s face to lose its color. To be glared at by the person she liked was a massive blow to a teenage girl of her age.

“Ying, Yingyu, how could you say that to me?”

Chen Shiru felt so aggrieved that she was on the verge of shedding tears as her entire demeanor wilted. However, Gu Yingyu did not even spare her a glance. Under Guan Yinqi’s worried gaze, she sat down without saying a word.

Chen Shiru’s face puckered into a frown.

“Do not be sad, Shiru. Sister Yu is just in a bad mood.”

“Exactly. She was just confronted by You Xinghai. She probably did not even realize who you were before she spoke.”

“Believe us, Sister Yu definitely still cares about you in her heart.”

The comfort from those around her stabilized Chen Shiru’s wavering heart. Right, Gu Yingyu had always been good to her. Today she was simply in a bad mood; she could not blame this on her. If anyone was to blame, it was that You Xinghai. She was nothing more than a tacky nouveau riche girl, yet she dared to speak to me like that! Since that girl is staying in this class from now on, I will see how I can torment her to death!

You Xinghai pushed open the door to the Elite Class, once again receiving a baptism of numerous stares. This was her original class, and all the students recognized her.

“Damn! Why is the nouveau riche back?”

“She must have failed at sucking up to someone and got scolded harshly. She probably came back because her ego shattered.”

“She is truly thick-skinned. I have never seen such a self-deprecating and cheap Alpha.”

“Hehe, she is not even in the same social class as us. So what if she is an Alpha?”

You Xinghai’s cool gaze swept over them. The few people speaking suddenly felt a chill down their spines and hurriedly looked away. Tsk, they have so much cowardice yet still try to gossip. They do not even know how to be discreet about it.

She scanned the classroom and noticed that most of the seats were occupied, with only one empty seat remaining in the back row. But You Xinghai’s gaze skipped over the empty seat and landed on Wen Xiaoyue, who was sitting in the row in front of it.

She knew who Wen Xiaoyue was. The original novel was a melodramatic and sweet story revolving around a “white flower” Omega and a top-tier Alpha. Naturally, there were various types of supporting characters responsible for obstructing the development of their relationship.

If You Xinghai’s role was that of a brain-dead pursuer who disgusted the protagonists and bystanders alike, then Wen Xiaoyue was the greatest stumbling block. She was aloof and unattainable like the bright moon, causing the “white flower” to feel an infinite sense of crisis.

Her appearance was the least noteworthy of her advantages. Her nearly all-encompassing abilities, awe-inspiring talent, and wealth that could rival a nation made her practically invincible. Even in front of Gu Yingyu, she did not fall behind.

Her character design was that of a pure and noble goddess. She had no real feelings for Gu Yingyu; she only approached her for a marriage alliance based on family interests. Naturally, she disdained playing petty tricks on the “white flower” like other vicious supporting characters. In the end, when Gu Yingyu loudly announced to the high-society circle that Guan Yinqi was the only one for her, Wen Xiaoyue expressed her respectful blessings and made a very graceful exit. This stood in sharp contrast to the tragic ending of You Xinghai!

As expected, there are supporting characters, and then there are cannon fodders. There is a clear divide even between the two.

At this moment, this icy beauty was slightly frowning while resting her chin on her hand as she stared out the window in a daze. She had thick, naturally curly hair that shimmered with a brownish tint under the sunlight. Her bright eyes were like a shimmering lake with shallow ripples that stirred the hearts of everyone.

Seeing that You Xinghai had not moved for a long time, the other students began to whisper.

“Who is the nouveau riche looking at? Could it be Xiaoyue?”

“Oh my god, is Xiaoyue someone a person like her can stare at? It is practically a defilement!”

“Look at her eyes; they are absolutely disgusting. Someone should go warn Xiaoyue.”

In fact, Wen Xiaoyue did not need anyone to warn her. She was already brought back to reality by the sound of approaching footsteps. She turned her head to look at You Xinghai, who was walking toward her step by step. You Xinghai accurately captured the surprise in those watery eyes, followed by indifference, distance, and rejection. It was as if Wen Xiaoyue were looking at something lowly.

Wen Xiaoyue raised an eyebrow and said, “Why is it you? Did you not transfer to the International Class? Did you get kicked back here because you were shouting at people?”

She still remembered You Xinghai’s dramatic spectacle a few days ago. She had been crying and screaming just to transfer to the International Class. She did not believe this person would come back quietly, let alone of her own accord. Wen Xiaoyue’s voice was not loud, but it was not quiet either. Her normal volume was enough for those closely following the situation to hear clearly.

“My god, did You Xinghai actually shout at people in the International Class? How uncivilized!”

“Tsk tsk, she really is an uneducated country bumpkin. She must have shouted at Gu Yingyu; otherwise, why would she come back with her tail between her legs?”

“She has the nerve to come back. If I were her, I would have dropped out of school immediately.”

“Can she please not stay in our class? It affects our studies.”

You Xinghai naturally heard these remarks. She turned her head and curled her lips into a calm smile, saying, “Who said I was kicked back for shouting? I came back because I missed you all too much, okay?”

These words immediately caused a wave of revulsion among the listeners.

“Gross.”

“Do not pay her any attention. The more you talk to her, the more she enjoys it.”

You Xinghai turned back to Wen Xiaoyue, her eyes full of playfulness, and said, “The eldest miss Wen was present just now, so you should know why I got into a fight with them, right?”

Wen Xiaoyue withdrew her gaze and replied, “Heh, who cares about you?”

She originally wanted to offer a few more sneers, but then she remembered that You Xinghai had indeed spoken up for Guan Yinqi. The remaining words lingered on the tip of her tongue before she swallowed them back down. She glanced at You Xinghai out of the corner of her eye. She could not quite put her finger on what had changed, but the girl’s aura was suddenly refreshed, as if she had abruptly become a different person. Moreover, she seemed to have become smarter and more silver-tongued.

You Xinghai shrugged, walked past Wen Xiaoyue, and sat down in the empty seat behind her. As soon as she sat down, several people became upset. A few Alphas stood up abruptly and headed straight for You Xinghai without hesitation. Among them, Du Na was the most arrogant.

Du Na was also one of the important supporting characters in the novel. She had always considered herself a rival to Gu Yingyu. Since childhood, she had competed with Gu Yingyu in terms of family background, academics, sports, and general ability. Regarding the beautiful Wen Xiaoyue, she was even more determined to win. She swore she would beat the elitist Gu Yingyu when it came to choosing a partner!

Du Na walked up to You Xinghai and slapped her hand onto the desk, completely disregarding her. “Get up. Who gave you permission to sit here?”

A person behind her echoed, “Do you even see where you are? Is the seat behind Xiaoyue something you are allowed to sit in?”

“It is common knowledge that no one is allowed to sit here. Xiaoyue is someone we all cherish together; no one is allowed to get a head start!”

“Exactly. A toad trying to eat swan meat. Since you could not chase that commoner Omega, you have gone crazy and come here to seduce Xiaoyue? Have you no shame?”

So noisy.

You Xinghai sighed. Is this not a noble academy? Why is it so noisy everywhere? The students are like a bunch of non-player characters; I do not see anything noble about them. She spoke lazily, saying, “I can stop sitting here, however”

Du Na showed a satisfied expression, thinking You Xinghai was being sensible. She even felt inclined to offer some kind advice. “Yes, that is more like it. Recognize your own position. You have a bit of money now, so as long as you graduate quietly and wave to those commoner Omegas, plenty of them will be hooked by you.”

However, You Xinghai glanced at her, dragged out her tone, and changed the subject. “Which one of you will give up your seat for me to sit in?”

The Alphas were silent for a few seconds before exploding on the spot.

“Why should we give you our seats? Can you not just stand during class?”

“Exactly. A tacky nouveau riche bumpkin actually has the nerve to want a seat.”

Du Na’s face turned livid. “You ungrateful thing! What do you think you are, daring to make demands of me?”

You Xinghai wagged her finger and looked at them as if they were fools. “Oh dear, if you think about it carefully, would swapping seats with me not allow you to legitimately sit behind her?”

“What nonsense are you talking about!”

“Exactly, who wants your seat!”

However, amidst the sea of rebukes, there was an unusual voice.

“Seeing how pitiful you are, I actually would not mind swapping with you.”

The condemnation from the Alphas, including Du Na, suddenly halted. Their gazes converged on the person who had suddenly spoken. Yet, that person was not intimidated at all. She even puffed out her chest pretentiously. “What? What are you all pretending for? What common knowledge about the seat? You are clearly just afraid you will not be able to grab it yourselves!”

Provocation between Alphas was the hardest thing to endure. Immediately, someone else raised their voice, saying, “I can swap too!”

“I will pay ten thousand; the seat is mine.”

“What are you acting so smug for? You act like you are the only one with money.”

Du Na thought, what is going on? “What is wrong with you all? Do not let her lead you astray!”

She was about to go crazy with anger. Who would want to swap seats with You Xinghai? Besides, the only person who should be allowed to sit behind Wen Xiaoyue was her!

Wen Xiaoyue, who was in the front row, was disturbed by the noise. Unable to take it anymore, she snapped coldly, “Be quiet!”

However, everyone was still fiercely contesting the ownership of the seat, and no one noticed the goddess’s annoyance. Amidst the noisy atmosphere, the school bell rang. The math teacher walked into the classroom carrying her books. As soon as she entered, she saw the crowd gathered in the back row. Her eyelids flickered. “What are you all doing standing there? Go back to your seats immediately!”

“Dammit, the teacher is here.”

Du Na gave You Xinghai a fierce glare. “You just wait.”

The group of Alphas glared indignantly at You Xinghai, who was sitting comfortably in her original spot, and reluctantly returned to their places. You Xinghai and Wen Xiaoyue both breathed a sigh of relief simultaneously. Finally, it is quiet.

The math teacher began to explain the problems. Based on the original body’s memory, You Xinghai opened her workbook and took a quick glance. Well, the pages were pristine and clean; not a single word had been written. She was clearly a slacker who did not study at all. She skimmed through the questions on the page and could essentially determine the answers at a glance.

Although she had forgotten most of her high school knowledge, before You Xinghai died of illness, she had been a top student who won competition awards. Later, she studied software engineering, which was a relatively lucrative field. Furthermore, the academic level in this noble academy novel was low enough that they were still solving quadratic equations. To her, these questions were as simple as elementary school math.

The math teacher happened to reach a major problem and hummed thoughtfully. “I have explained this question many times, yet many students still get it wrong. I will ask a student to answer it.”

She scanned the room, and the students who met her gaze could not help but lower their heads. Suddenly, she noticed You Xinghai, who looked quite at ease. She pointed strictly and said, “Let us have the student in the last row by the window answer.”

The students breathed a sigh of relief. Their gazes drifted toward the position the teacher had indicated, wanting to see which unlucky soul had been chosen.

“Eh? She called on You Xinghai?”

The crowd immediately switched to spectator mode.

“Hahaha, how could the nouveau riche possibly know the answer? She is just a girl from the countryside. Even the textbooks she used must be different from ours.”

“Oh boy, someone should remind the teacher not to waste class time.”

Du Na, who had just been snubbed by You Xinghai, was the most vocal. She chuckled and said, “I want to see who dares to remind her. We should let this country bumpkin see the difference in our levels; otherwise, she will really think she is something special.”

Since You Xinghai had only recently transferred, the math teacher did not recognize her. She only felt that the atmosphere in the class had become strange the moment she called the name. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, You Xinghai stood up naturally.

“Is she about to say she does not know?”

Du Na spread her hands and said, “Sigh, she really is thick-skinned. If I had her courage, I would succeed at anything I did.”

Wen Xiaoyue also heard the small talk nearby, and her brow furrowed imperceptibly. She did not like the way these people acted. They were just a group of people who won the lottery by being born into wealth, yet they felt they could criticize others at will. She scanned the answer she had written in her own workbook. She was about to speak up for You Xinghai when she suddenly heard a crisp and forceful voice from behind her.

“My answer is three-tenths times the square root of ten.”
