Chapter 79 They meet again
Human World
Tessha's classmates were noisy and chaotic when she arrived at school.
She is a bit late waking up after dreaming several nights in a row.
Her dream is about chasing a man who is slowly disappearing into darkness.
She'd had the dream repeatedly, waking up in the middle of the night.
She couldn't sleep again, suddenly feeling lonely and sad.
For no reason, she will suddenly burst into tears.
And she didn't know why!
"OMG, our new prof is so hot!" her female classmates squealed.
Tessha's wandering mind snapped back to reality.
"Girl!!!" Evitta shouted, approaching Tessha.
"What's up? Am I late? Why are you guys outside?" Tessha asked.
"Evitta's got a crush on the prof," Lisa teased.
"Shut up, Lisa. You have Jimmy and Professor's mine," Evitta snapped.
"You like our professor? He's old and balding, Evitta," Tessha said, trying to deflect.
"Haha, you're always late, Tessha, we have a new prof for English," Arina said with a grin.
"Okay, why are you all outside?" Tessha asked again.
"Our new prof's still in the principal's office. Everyone's waiting to welcome him," Evitta said, gushing.
"Okay, but I'm not waiting. I'm going in," Tessha said casually.
"Told ya, Tessha doesn't care about hot guys, Evitta," Carla teased.
Just as Tessha was about to enter the classroom, their new professor arrived.
The students run towards the professor, throwing confetti.
"Shit, they're gonna steal him!" Evitta shouted, rushing to the professor too.
"Welcome Professor!" the students cheered, with a banner.
"Ugh, I can't get through," Tessha muttered.
Suddenly, someone pushed her, throwing her off balance.
"Seriously? I'm so unlucky!" Tessha thought, eyes closed, bracing for impact.
But the new professor caught her, and everyone cheered.
"Shit, you're so lucky!" Evitta squealed.
"Wow, I wish that was me!" someone said.
"Lucky girl," another student muttered.
"Are you okay?" their new professor asked.
Tessha's eyes snapped open. "It's you?" she asked.
"Yes, it's me. Your new professor," he replied.
He's the man from her dream! Tessha is speechless and stunned.
When they met in the city of Infierno, Gremus wore a different face. He was afraid Tessha might recognize him.
Now, he has to show up early because of Evil Deity's threat, and he just found out that Kerru escaped!
He didn't want their reunion to go like this, but he had no choice.
He planned to return to Metodenia and tell his mother about the Blood Oath between him and Tessha.
But change things when The Evil Deity escaped.
This isn't just a simple blood oath – it's a pact, a union between two people. They'll be united as one, meaning they'll become husband and wife.
Tessha knows nothing about it. Gremus decided on the blood oath hoping to suppress the evil blood within Tessha.
But he failed – Tessha unleashed the evil power!
For now, all he can do is stop Tessha from becoming the Evil heiress.
"Tessha, are you okay?" Arina asked, rushing over.
Tessha quickly pulled away from their new professor's grasp.
She felt weird, but couldn't put her finger on it.
"Y-yeah," she replied shortly, hurrying into the classroom.
"Go back to your classroom class." the new professor said.
Once everyone was seated, he introduced himself.
"I'm your new English prof. Just call me Professor Gremus."
"I like your name, Prof – sounds ancient," Evitta said, flirting, batting her eyelashes.
Their classmates burst out laughing.
"Gremus," Tessha whispered to herself.
The name sounds familiar. She suddenly felt sad, a deep longing for someone.
She has no idea who her heart's screaming about!
She glanced at Professor Gremus as he started his lesson.
"Gremus!" her mind shouted.
She suddenly feels down, looking at Gremus. Tears streamed down her face, uncontrollably.
She's crying without knowing why!
"Hey, what's wrong, Tessha?" Carla asked, worried.
"Huh? I don't know!" Tessha replied, confused.
Their classmates started whispering.
"Silence, please. Are you not feeling well, Miss—" Gremus said, leaving it hanging.
He is just pretending not to know Tessha because he needs to keep an eye on her 24/7.
"Tessha, Prof. Her name is Tessha," Evitta chimed in, still batting her eyelashes.
"Okay, you can head home if you're not feeling well, Miss Tessha," Gremus said.
"Ah, okay," Tessha agreed.
She was mortified – she didn't know why she is crying.
It's embarrassing to stay!
"Can you go home alone?" Gremus asked again.
"Can I go with her?" Arina asked.
"Me too," Evitta chimed in.
The new prof didn't even have a glance on her, so she needed a new target!
"Okay, escort Ms. Tessha home. You're excused from class," Gremus agreed.
He avoided looking at Tessha while she cried – he might not hold back.
He loves her, his wife!
He doesn't know how he'll tame her if the prophecy comes true.
Tessha walked out of the classroom, feeling down.
It's embarrassing to cry in front of everyone but she didn't know why she cried like that. As if someone died!
And their new prof is a mystery.
He is the guy from her dream! Why him? She doesn't know him.
She asked herself.
She is confused!
As they were leaving the gate, they bumped into a group of student gangsters.
The leader is in the middle, flanked by his crew, with girls trailing behind.
"Wow, they're so hot! The gangsters are looking fine now, ah!" Evitta squealed, swooning.
Tessha stopped crying and looked at the gangsters.
"Steve?" Arina asked, recognizing her ex-boyfriend.
"What? You have a boyfriend? Are you sure?" Evitta asked, shocked.
"You have a boyfriend, Arina?" Tessha asked too.
"Yes, my ex-boyfriend who ghosted me and vanished into thin air. And look at him now!" Arina said, annoyed, glaring at Steve surrounded by girls.
"OMG! Is that the nerd from the next seat? Is he back to school? Why aren't we classmates now – or is he just late?" Evitta bombarded with questions.
"That Damn nerd!" Arina shouted, charging at Steve.
"Oh no, trouble's brewing, Tessha!" Evitta shouted, chasing after Arina.
Tessha shook her head, following her friends.
"Steve!" Arina yelled again.
But nothing happened – Steve ignored her, walking past with the sexy girls.
"Wow, Steve's friends are so hot! Hello, boys!" Evitta squealed, spotting Dragor and Hollyr.
"Here comes trouble," Dragor muttered.
"Looks like Evitta's on the prowl again," Hollyr whispered back.
Steve ignored Arina, but she blocked their path, still fuming.
"Who is this ugly bitch, master!" one of Steve's girls shouted dramatically.
"You're the bitch!" Evitta snapped, ready for a fight.
"Steve, care to explain? You just vanished – and now you're a gangster with girls hanging around?" Arina asked, hurt.
"Excuse me, who are you?" Steve replied, coldly.
Arina and her friends were stunned by Steve's reaction.
"Yeah, who are you? He's Leonin, our leader in the bloody creepy Gang!" the girl snapped.
"What? You're not Steve?" Arina asked, confused.
"I'm not. Don't block my way if you don't want to get hurt," Leonin said in a serious tone.
He had to ignore Arina because it was Gremus' command.
Gremus agreed to release him from the Pit of Agony on one condition: he couldn't get near Arina or anyone in Tessha's group.
