Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession-Chapter 40: She would not eat random meat

Not just one, but two people who occupied the last bench. She was atleast present in the beginning of the course but these people probably never showed up.

When Ella walked over to her seat, she spotted a flash of blonde. The person next to her was holding a book and had his entire head buried in that book as if he wasn’t unwilling to waste a single second by looking away from it.

Ella cleared her throat, standing next to him.

But the person did not respond, ’’Excuse me, can you move your bag away...?"

"Scram!" The guy said coldly without looking away from the book.

Ella from before would have scramed and hated herself even for someone else’s lack of good upbringing but Ella now...? She simply didn’t care.

Under the class’s ’excited for good tea’, Ella grabbed the bag from her seat and gently placed it on the desk before she took a seat.

"How dare you!" The person snapped and put the book down.

When she saw the person’s face, Ella was stunned.

’’Get lost from here!" The person narrowed his eyes coldly when she did not budge but rather, ogled at him in a stupor.

The class erupted in wild laughter.

"This fatty will finally understand her place!"

"To think that she had the audacity to act all brave in front of him...’’

’’How dare she lust over the goddess first and now the god... hmph!"

When that part fell in Ella’s ears, she slowly recovered from her reverie.

When did she lust over their god? Just sitting next to meat didn’t mean she would eat it!

Not when she had already gotten the taste of the most expensive and exquisite steak in the world.

’’Enough, silence!"

At the Professor’s yell, the entire class quietened and the peace was restored just like that.

The person next to Ella sulked and looked away.

And after going through her initial shock, Ella also avoided him.

This guy was none other than her young brother-in-law by relation. Kade King.

In her previous life, Ella met this person when she turned 23 or even later. She no longer remembered the timelines any clearly but she was certain that it was around that period only.

But she had never expected him to be in the same university as her. Not to mention the same class.

It should have been common knowledge but back then, she had been the least interested in Adrian and the people around him.

All she wanted was to chase Max passionately and escape Adrian. Somewhere along the line, she forgot her dream of modelling, her desire to study, her wish to be fit again or even the urge to fix her insecurities.

So, anything else probably did not make it past the cut off.

Ella again snuck a peek at the guy sitting next to her to make sure that her eyes weren’t playing tricks.

’It’s true indeed,’ she thought. She had come to classes irregularly for only two months in the beginning and it’s highly possible that the guy was absent during that time so they never crossed paths.

Feeling the girl sneaking glances at him, Kade got goosebumps and felt his anger bristling again.

How many days has it been? His cards were frozen, his lady loves were all gone and he had been sent to the university to be harassed!

It was all because of that witch in the Eve Mansion that had ensnared his good brother and pillow-talked her way into his heart.

Both the people looked away from each other, each lost in their own thoughts.

At this moment, Grimwood spoke up, ’’As we had discussed this before already, today we will be having a test.’’

The entire class turned silent and attentive. freewebnoveℓ.com

Ella’s brow twitched a bit.

’’And while this test might not be as important as your exams, you need to know that this carries 20 marks which will act as the backup later in case you do bad in any subject.’’

At the mention of the test, the class went a bit chaotic before settling down gradually when the question papers were distributed.

Kade twirled a pen in his hand as he closed the book in front of him.

Looking at the question paper, his head throbbed.

Sensing some movements from beside, he looked over and glanced as his deskmate pulled out her pen and started answering the questions like they were trifles.

’’Hey you, isn’t it your first class...’’ He trailed off suddenly.

The girl did not raise her head or acknowledge his question.

He realized that she was answering the questions blindly. They were all short type questions, some multiple choice and very few were fill in the blanks.

Huh... Kade’s lips twitched. Woman, at least pause a bit to think so your wild guesses will have higher chances of being the correct answers!

Ella was the first person to submit the answer sheet an hour later.

Grimwood took the paper from her, adjusted his glasses, and after observing her for a while, he let her go.

After handing in the paper, Ella relaxed in her seat.

She could only count it as a stroke of luck that she had broken sleep last night. And after being thoroughly awakened by Esther, she had sat to catch up on the syllabus and study materials.

After skimming through this book and that book and getting endlessly frustrated, she had ended up going through the literature portion.

And one thing about Ella was that the subjects that she liked, she excelled at them. With little effort, she would be able to understand and analyze things.

The rest of the day was passed by rather smoothly with all professors giving this ’new creature’ in class side eyes.

Ella was thick-skinned about it.

After classes, Ella tried to look for Ruby but the girl was gone and it was hard to catch sight of her.

In her previous life, she had ruined her friendship with Ruby due to her own foolishness and Esther’s manipulation.

And in this life also, she had messed things up before her rebirth.

A few years ago...
