Chapter 43: The Last Day
"Ah..."
A deep sigh escaped from Lena’s lips, and she couldn’t stop herself from rubbing her temples. Tomorrow was the big day—the day she’d officially begin her career as a professor at Velcrest Academy.
She was about to teach Sacred Flame to Class 1-A, the first-year students, and yet... she didn’t feel the excitement she thought she should.
Before this, Lena had been the secretary to the Chairman, handling all the paperwork and administration, but this year, things had shifted. She had made the bold decision to step into the role of a professor—specifically, to teach the Sacred Flame class.
The funny part? She didn’t even have to ask for the position. The Chairman had already planned to assign it to her, regardless of her decision.
So, technically, she had gotten what she wanted.
But why didn’t she feel happy about it?
Lena sighed again, the weight of uncertainty pulling at her chest.
"What’s wrong, Lena?" The Chairman’s voice broke through her thoughts. "Oh! Sorry, I mean Professor Lena. Haha."
She chuckled softly, a teasing grin tugging at her lips.
Lena glanced at her sideways, then sighed yet again.
