Rise of the Strongest War God

Chapter 3: She is too petty

Although Ben didn't finish his words, professor Nina understood.

After a brief pause, she released Luke's hand and said, "You guys go first. I'll go inform the college authorities and ask them to evacuate."

Luke wasn't surprised even a bit as he had already expected her to respond like this. He put on a mocking smile on his face and asked, "What will you tell them? That a student told you? Do you think they will believe you?"

Before she could respond, he continued, "No. They will not. They will treat you like a lunatic. They might send you to the hospital to check whether you have any mental disorder if they are kind enough. If not, they will throw you into prison for trying to create panic."

He then stepped towards her, gently cupped her face in his hands, and made her look into his eyes. "Tell me if I'm wrong."

Seeing him act so 'intimate' with the professor without blushing, Ben's eyes widened in surprise and he couldn't help but secretly give him a thumbs up.

As his best friend, he knew Luke had a secret crush on this professor, but apart from the time when he had helped her; he had never touched even a single fingernail of hers. So, seeing him make some progress, he was naturally happy for him.

Professor Nina opened her mouth to speak, but hesitated. She knew he was right. Even if she was a professor, no one would believe her. Thinking this, her eyes grew misty.

In the end, she sighed in defeat, "Alright, I'll go with you. But I really hope it's only a false alarm."

Luke nodded. He didn't care whether they believed him, as long as he could leave with them.

He then reluctantly removed his hands from her soft cheeks and turned around, "Let's go. We don't have much time to waste."

"Alright!"

Tatatata…

However, before they could move, someone came running toward them.

"Damn! She is too petty. She came for revenge." Ben yelled, and then scurried behind professor Nina like a frightened rabbit, afraid that he would be implicated in their affair.

Seeing her, Luke's expression also become unnatural, and he cursed her for not being able to take a loss.

Sighing, he glanced at professor Nina and said, "Professor, you handle her but don't let her waste our time."

"Alice? What did you do to anger her this much?" Professor Nina asked when she noticed Alice' face boiling in rage.

Before Luke could reply, Ben shouted out, "He pushed her down!"

"Hmm? Is that right?" Professor Nina looked at Luke strangely.

Although he had done just that, Ben's tone made black lines appear on his forehead. However, he didn't want to waste time with him. So, after glaring at him, he quickly explained to the professor what had happened.

Whoosh!

After seeing Luke, Alice wanted to strike immediately, but when she noticed professor Nina standing beside him, she reluctantly stopped in her tracks and greeted her,

"Hello professor."

"Hello Alice. I heard what happened. I know you must be angry, but can you let it go for the time being for my sake?"

"But professor h-he humiliated me." Alice said through gritted teeth. For a proud girl like Alice, being pushed to the ground in front of the whole classroom was unacceptable and humiliating.

Therefore, even though she was taught to treat her teachers and elderly with respect from childhood, she still wanted to punish him.

Realising that her self-respect was hurt, professor Nina held her hands and softly asked, "Can you wait for just an hour? I can let you punish him however you like after that."

Alice glared at him with red eyes and nodded. "Okay."

She then turned around to walk back to the classroom. However, professor Nina stopped her. "Wait, Alice."

"Yes, professor." Alice turned around and asked with a smile. There was no ripple in her voice, and she wore a calm expression. From looking at her now, no one could tell she was seething with anger just a moment ago.

'She is really a terrifying person.' Luke gulped secretly. In his last life, very few people from his college had survived, and she was one of them.

Although he didn't see her in action with his own eyes because he was just a weakling who didn't have guts to kill zombies to evolve, he had heard rumours in which it was told that she was so powerful, she could kill thousands of zombies single-handedly.

But after he was 'brought' away those bastards, he didn't hear about her again. So, he didn't know whether she was still alive or dead when he died.

'She could be a good helper.' He thought.

After stopping her, Professor Nina glanced at him. Luke knew she was asking whether she should warn her. Without thinking much, he nodded.

Even if she didn't believe them now, at least she would remember he tried helping her and maybe, just maybe, he could ask for her help if there was something he couldn't handle alone. However, in this life, he wanted to become so strong that he wouldn't have to rely on anyone.

Seeing him nod, the professor turned her towards her and said in a serious tone, "Alice, we are going out of the college. If you have someone you care about in the college, gather them and move out as soon as possible. If you stay here any longer, your life might be in danger."

"Hmm? Why would my life be in danger? Are you sure someone hasn't fooled you, professor?" she asked, throwing a suspicious glance at Luke because she had noticed the professor ask his permission before telling her this.

Luke raised his brows at her implied meaning and coldly said, "Let's go, professor. We have already warned her." Although she could be a good helper after the apocalypse, he didn't want to waste his time persuading her, as he had more urgent matters to attend to before the time was up.

Saying this, he ran toward the college's exit. Ben was already ready to go, so seeing him run out, he immediately followed behind.

After giving Alice a glance, professor Nina also ran after them.

After exiting college, Luke hurriedly tapped on his smartwatch and called his younger brother.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

When his call didn't connect after a few seconds, he started chewing his nails in frustration. "Come on. Pick up, pick up."

Ting!

Suddenly, the call connected, and the voice of a teenager sounded in his ears.

"Hello big brother. Didn't we talk in the morning? Why did you call again? Oh wait, you are calling me means you are not in the college. If Dad knows you didn't go to college, he would scold you."

Hearing his brother's voice, Luke's eyes became moist. How he longed to hear his voice in his last life? How he longed to know whether he and his father were alive or…?

But unfortunately, he couldn't because they were on the distant central continent while he was on the north-eastern continent.
