Reborn in another world as a Hermaphrodite

However, seeing Alex sitting alone with a cold face during the break, no one was daring enough to walk close to him.

"Sophia, what happened to your brother? Why does he look so different today?" Camille asked first.

"Yeah, why does he look like someone owns him money or something?" Evelyn added.

"He just, um, lost a bet. Yeah, he lost a bet to us, right Mary?" Sophia answered as she looked over to her.

Mary quickly nodded in support, but it only made the four of them even more curious.

"What kind of bet is it?" Luna curiously asked.

"It\'s a secret."

"Come on, when did we have secrets between us? Mary, you\'ll never hide things from sister Camille, right?"

"Stop trying to get an answer. My sister is not going to get pushed over so easily."

"Oh really? Let\'s see if you two can run away——"

As Camille started chasing Sophia and Mary around Luna and Evelyn, Chloe was sitting aside in silence the whole time.

Although she didn\'t mind being with her friends all the time, she couldn\'t resist the urge to ask him directly.

But before she could get up, Luqing had already walked over and sat down next to him. Enjoy exclusive content from m v -NovelBin.net

"Alex, you\'re okay?"

"Yeah, I\'m fine... You\'re the tenth person that had asked that question already."

Despite Alex\'s irritated attitude, Luqing didn\'t seem to mind it at all as she checked her clipboard.

"You\'re 10th place today... What happened?"

"My leg still feels a little sore from Monday." Alex quickly made up an excuse on the spot.

Luqing only looked back at Alex with a warm smile as she got up from the ledge they were sitting on.

"If you\'re tired... Just tell me. I can give you a break."

After seeing Alex nod, Luqing headed back to resume class once again as the break was over.

"Okay, now everyone, please spread out on the track. We will be doing some stretches before we head back to class..."

Slowly, everyone got up from the ground and got back on track, beginning to spread out among themselves.

"I\'ll be doing the stretch first, and you can follow along after the first time."

As Luqing stretched out her arms, everyone watched in silence as she began to move it in a mysterious pattern.

Even though it looked relatively easy, the class quickly realized it was much harder than it looked.

Almost two-thirds of the class couldn\'t touch their toes without bending down.

Even for the people who could, it was due to their longer hands and short legs, not because of any particular flexibility.

"No need to rush it. Just try your best to replicate it and maintain it for a minute."

Despite saying that, Luqing was going down the aisles to fix everyone\'s posture manually.

"Fuck this hurts... When is this over?" Alex thought to himself as he tried to reach at least to his knee.

But the sharp pain in his lower abdomen was just too much for him to go any further down.

"Okay, times up. Next stretch..."

As Luqing continued with the stretches, Alex\'s mood became more and more sour with every movement.

He was starting to miss staying in the classroom despite enjoying the PE class before today.

After the sun began to dim down in the distance, it was finally over as Luqing dismissed the class.

When the classmates began leaving the classroom in groups, Sophia and Mary were no exception.

The five of them at the back had already gathered everything as they walked up to Alex and Chloe\'s seats.

"Do you two want to join us in the meditation room?" Camille asked as she casually wrapped her arm around them.

"I\'m good."

Alex pushed her arms away before grabbing his backpack and heading to the front of the class.

"Miss Luqing, I\'m just going to head back home today. You can follow Sophia and Mary instead."

"Geez, he really got a sour mood today," Evelyn murmured as they watched Alex leave the room alone.

"Just ignore him. He\'s going to be back to normal by tomorrow or so... Chloe, you coming?"

"Sure..."

Just as the Six of them were about to head out of the classroom, they ran right into a man standing by the door.

Out of all the people, the school principal was the only one seemingly waiting for Luqing to come out behind them.

"Oh hey, kids... Good evening, Luqing. Can I talk to you for a second?"

Luqing didn\'t accept right away as she looked over to Sophia, but she was hit with a blank face.

"Um, sure——"

"See you, Miss Luqing! We\'ll be going back home later!"

Sophia yelled as she quickly grabbed onto Mary\'s hand before instantly running off, causing the other four to run after them in confusion.

Meanwhile, the school principal was even more confused, but he didn\'t really care about it.

"Miss Luqing, I know you have only been a teacher this month, but I want you to be the head teacher."

"Huh?"

Luqing was completely caught off guard by his suggestion, as it sounded way too important of a position for her to hold.

"Ahem, I mean the head teacher of Physical Education for the 1st year students."

Seeing her still looking a little confused, the school principal started explaining the rationale he had.

"As a cultivator, you felt all the kids are exceptionally weak and fragile, right?"

Luqing nodded, as a level 1 cultivator wouldn\'t even break a sweat running around the track even without using Qi.

But at the same time, she knew mages could have a strong body, but it would interrupt their time in studying magic.

It\'s simply up to knights and other frontline roles to protect the mage from her personal experience.

"Everyone knows mages are exceptionally weak when they are in close combat, and they aren\'t meant to let the opponent get close."

"Can you please be straightforward?" Luqing impatiently asked, as she didn\'t want to hear him talk about common sense.

More importantly, she wanted to go catch up with Sophia and Mary in case they did something stupid.

"Okay, well. My higher-ups had been noticing an increasing trend of mages who are... a little bit on the fat side.

So, I had been planning to roll out a mandatory Physical education class... I was looking far and wide for someone fit for this job.

You know, I can\'t just hire some knights and let them torture these young mages..."

Luqing nodded, as she had witnessed the harsh knight training in the past back in Regina before.

If it weren\'t for a wondering master who proposed to Fredrick about teaching her in cultivation, she would have been put in a different route.

"It just so happened that Lady Katherine suggested you be the teacher leading the testing ground.

So far, I\'m very happy with the results... This is why I want you to be the head teacher of physical education.

I want you to help them implement Physical education into their classes and have their students go through the same training."

After a short consideration, Luqing still shook her head.

"I don\'t think I\'m qualified to be a head teacher for that purpose... But I can share my experience and plan with the other teachers."

"That\'s perfect! Thank you so much——"

Just as the school principal was about to show his gratitude, a gust of wind blew right into his face.

With a blink of an eye, Luqing had disappeared from the hallway, nowhere to be seen.

"Are cultivators all like this?" The school principal murmured as he began heading back to his office.

Meanwhile, as Alex arrived at the front door of the house, he froze for a second before knocking on the door.

With no one answering, he kicked the small rock in frustration as he sat down on the stairway ledge.

"Fuck my life... Why didn\'t I ask Sophia for the key? How could I forget about that?"

As Alex looked up to the sky, the sunlight was just starting to be covered by the clouds.

"Can today get any worse?" Alex murmured to himself as he put his backpack aside.

Taking out a book he had taken from the bookshelf a few days ago, he resumed reading where he had last left off.

Although it covered basic magic, the author had an interesting proposal that gave him a completely new perspective.

Rather than using mana and casting the spell in the air, it opted to go with casting a spell inside a person\'s mind.

The same mana pool where all the mana goes when people go into meditation.

However, the reason why it was a theory book rather than a real magic book was the first step in attracting elements into the mana pool.

In his eyes, this was the same as asking a person to light up a cigarette in a firework factory filled with gunpowder.
