Circe sat there cold and silently like a blooming orchid, exuding an air of grace that stood out from the crowd. Though nobody found her weird or peculiar, many of the guys wanted to know her better, but they did not have the courage to do so.
Everyone was getting in the mood, and Declan stood up smilingly with an elegant box in his hands. He walked towards Katherine and said politely "Miss Katherine, today happens to be the Teacher's Day, and I'd like to thank you for being our teacher. This is a gift for you."
Suddenly, the room was filled with exclamations of amazement. Declan was well-prepared, indeed. He even prepared a gift for Miss Katherine. It was quite clear that he was determined to become the class monitor.
Katherine remained calm and smiled. "Declan, I'm already very pleased that you're treating us to dinner. I can't accept this."
Declan was indeed a bright, smart, and likable student. He even knew today was Teacher's Day and prepared her a gift. However, so many students were watching, and Katherine felt bad for accepting the gift.
Declan shook his head with a smile. "This is a little something I really want you to keep, especially on such a special occasion like today."
He opened the box.
Suddenly, everyone stared at what was inside the box with shock and surprise. Inside the box laid a yellow pill. Even Katherine could not help but take a closer look at it. She thought Declan would give her a bracelet or jewelry as a gift, but she never thought it would be a pill!
Darryl frowned upon seeing the pill. He saw the color and texture of the pill, which resembled a Spirit Petrification Elixir. According to the 'Infinite Elixir Manual', this was one of the top pills for cultivators. However, the color of the pill seemed lighter than what it should look like.
'Perhaps he was wrong?' Darryl thought.
Meanwhile, Declan glanced around at his classmates with a proud expression.
"Miss Katherine, this is called the Spirit Petrification Elixir. I bought it from a wandering cultivator back home. Miss Katherine, this pill is only meant for a Martial Marquis. This would not have any effect on cultivators below that level, but for anyone that's a Martial Marquis and above, they will experience a rebirthing effect.
'A rebirthing effect?
everyone wondered.
The room was in an uproar as everyone seemed more in shock than before. Katherine was already a Level one Martial Marquis, but after taking this pill with the rebirthing effect, she would become even more intimidating.
Although Katherine remained calm, she was very excited after hearing that. She had heard about this pill but had never seen it before. Declan was right to say that the Spirit Petrification Elixir was meant for cultivators, who were at least a Martial Marquis to strengthen their abilities. A Martial Marquis who had this pill would be much stronger than a Martial Marquis without it.
Declan took out the pill and handed it to Katherine. "Miss Katherine, this is a gift I specially prepared for you. If you don't take it, it would be a waste for me to keep it anyway."
After hearing what he said, Katherine accepted the pill with a smile.
"Miss Katherine, why don't you take it now? Then, we can see what a rebirthing effect is." Miles stood up and suggested.
The rest of the class nodded in agreement as their eyes filled with anticipation. They were all wondering when they would be able to reach the level of a Martial Marquis.
Noticing everyone's looks of anticipation, Katherine smiled and prepared to eat the pill.
"Don't!" Darryl stood up, trying to stop her.
"What is it, Darryl?" Katherine asked, confused.
Everyone looked at Darryl with a frown on their faces.
'What was this live-in son-in-law doing this time?' everyone thought.
Darryl took a deep breath and explained. "Miss Katherine, I'm afraid this pill won't work. Don't eat it."
Everyone stared in disbelief.
Declan was furious as he scoffed"Darryl, what the f*ck is wrong with you this time?"
