Chapter 8 : How could it be you!!!
“By the way, Iphie-classmate, have you heard? Our class is about to get a transfer student!”
Taking advantage of the break between classes, a boy sitting in front of Iphilia said to her mysteriously.
“Hmm? Transfer student? Tell me about it!”
Iphilia looked at the boy in front of her with considerable interest.
This guy was named Zhang Anran.
As everyone knew, every school would have at least one super informant who was a walking encyclopedia, knowing everything, and all sorts of gossip or news were like family treasures to them and Zhang Anran belonged to this category.
His various pieces of gossip were particularly well-informed; whether it was gossip or various cases, he knew them all clearly.
Therefore, Iphilia often chose to ask him for information, and over time, the two had become relatively familiar.
“I heard that this transfer student is like you, also a mixed-blood, said to have just returned from abroad. Although I haven't seen the person, I heard it's a girl, and she's also very good-looking! Congratulations Iphie-classmate, your dream of having a deskmate is finally about to come true!”
Zhang Anran theatrically cupped his fists and shook them at Iphilia as a sign of celebration.
When Iphilia heard it was an “overseas transfer student like myself,” she immediately asked back with some doubt, “Still from abroad? Is it true?”
“Uh… anyway, that's what I heard. If there really is one, then the class teacher will definitely bring the person in by tonight at the latest. You can stay curious and watch”
To be honest, Iphilia was still very skeptical about this piece of gossip. Not to mention anything else, this was high school, eh! And it was a high school in China.
A creature like a transfer student was already a super rare species comparable to a soft-shelled turtle for them, let alone a mixed-blood transfer student returning from abroad.
That was already something that could be said to only exist in anime and games.
Of course, someone like Iphilia was a super rare species with only one example in the whole world.
After all, besides her, a Hell princess who spent all day cooped up in the human world and didn't act like a demon at all, how could there be royalty from other races who wouldn't stay in their own homes, but instead run over to the human side to go to school?
At most, they would be like a certain guy Iphilia knew, hiding in the suburbs and being a shut-in!
“Class, quiet down!”
And just as Iphilia was preparing to forget this completely unreliable piece of gossip as trash information, their beloved class teacher—a young woman who appeared to be only in her twenties or thirties—had somehow teleported to the podium, patting the desk with a look of helplessness to signal everyone to quiet down.
Jiang Mengyun, this was the name of Iphilia's class teacher, who taught history. Her class was one of the few that Iphilia would occasionally listen to.
After all, her lectures were indeed quite good.
If she hid underneath and played on her phone like in other classes, even Iphilia would feel a bit guilty.
“Today, our class will welcome a new classmate. Like Iphilia-classmate, she is also a transfer student who has just returned from abroad. Please get along well with her”
What!? The information is true!?
Iphilia never expected that this classic scenario, which should only exist in anime or games, would actually happen to her.
For a moment, she couldn't help but look at Zhang Anran, this campus know-it-all, with new respect.
Dude, this news, to be fair, is really accurate!
As if to show off, Zhang Anran even turned his head and winked at Iphilia with a smile, and Iphilia could only give him a thumbs-up in encouragement.
The news is very accurate, keep it up next time.
That's pretty much what it meant.
And besides Iphilia, the other students also showed great surprise at this news.
After all, to them, Iphilia was already this kind of very precious rare animal.
Now there was going to be another one; this kind of good thing was truly one in ten thousand.
“Holy crap! A new transfer student!? And a mixed-blood like Iphie-classmate? What the hell kind of anime plot is this? Crap, our class doesn't have a chosen one, does it!? Where's my FFF? Someone, someone, quickly drag that guy out and knife him!”
“Is the new classmate a boy or a girl? I hope it's a cute girl”
“But our class seems to be full, right? How can they still transfer to our class?”
“Stupid! Isn't there still an empty seat next to Iphie-classmate?”
“Crap crap crap! So the new classmate can be Iphie-classmate's deskmate as soon as they arrive? How dare you!!!”
“If it's a boy, just knife him directly!”
“Someone! Bring Zhen's knife!”
“Your Majesty, think thrice!”
As expected, the students below reacted particularly intensely.
Everyone was excitedly guessing information about the new classmate, and some even directly threatened to knife the new classmate if they were a boy…
Emm… In that case, Iphilia could only wish this new classmate, who had already caused an uproar before even showing their face, good luck…
“Alright, Aimiya-classmate, come in”
“Okay!”
Jiang Mengyun smiled faintly, turned around, and stepped down from the podium to make room for the new classmate.
And as a voice as ethereal and pleasant as a Lark sounded from outside the door, a beautiful light golden figure walked in from outside.
The next moment, the entire class completely erupted.
“Holy shit! It really is a girl! Where's that bastard who just said to knife the new classmate? Come out and get knifed!”
“Her hair is platinum blonde! So pretty!”
“Iphie-classmate's hair color is black, the new classmate's hair color is gold, such CP vibes! Shipping it, shipping it”
“Kids, am I dreaming!? It's a blonde foreign beauty! I declare I'm in love again and again and again!”
“Get lost, pervert! You said you were in love when Iphilia-classmate transferred here, and now you're saying it again when the new classmate comes!”
“Someone! Knife Zhen to liven things up for everyone!”
“Your Majesty, think thrice!!!”
…
Iphilia could no longer hear what everyone in the class was saying.
At this moment, she was staring wide-eyed and in disbelief at the beautiful figure on the podium, with tens of thousands of alpacas galloping through her mind.
This this this… this isn't right, is it?
She… she's my new deskmate!?
In an instant, cold sweat broke out on Iphilia's forehead, and her heart was filled with despair for her future campus life.
She had just done such an outrageous thing to her last night, and was originally thinking that since it was unlikely they would meet again in the future, it shouldn't matter, but today…
As if sensing that dazed gaze, the person on the stage also subconsciously cast their eyes over.
Then… after her gaze met Iphilia's, she was, unsurprisingly, also stunned.
