"It's not that. We're already nearing exams, so we need to use all the time we have to study!"
Xander didn't even blink at that. "I can afford to lose a couple of minutes."
As he spoke, he glanced at their surroundings. Seeming satisfied, he said, "It's pretty clean now. Let's head back."
Victor was at a loss for words.
Meanwhile, Grace seemed to have learned her lesson after being late to school the first time. She never turned up late afterward.
In fact, she woke up half an hour before Victor every morning in the spirit of studying diligently.
That day, Grace was dropped off at the school entrance in the morning by her driver.
The moment she left the car, she saw her classmate, Magnus Titan.
Magnus was a classic straight-A student. He was enthusiastic about his studies and eager to discuss academic issues with people like Grace.
That's why Magnus immediately went over to her. "Did you finish the questions the math teacher gave us at the end of class yesterday, Grace? Can I check my answers with you?"
"Did the teacher give us homework for that?"
"Yeah, the ones on page 98. Wait, did you finish them?"
Those words struck Grace like a bell. She had already forgotten about this. "O-Of course I did."
"Good. The teacher will want to check our books during class later."
Grace suddenly felt dejected. Their math teacher was stricter than most and was the kind to give a good scolding in front of the entire class. Everyone in class feared incurring that wrath upon themselves.
Given her good grades, Grace had never experienced this. If the teacher found out she had missed her homework, her reputation would be ruined.
"Give me the pen."
Grace obediently handed it to him. Xander then scrawled out the answers without another word. It took him less than five minutes to finish.
Grace gasped in surprise upon seeing the completed answers. Xander had even gone and mimicked her handwriting. "You're amazing, Xander!"
Xander's eyebrow lifted slightly. "Alright. Now go to class."
Grace heaved a sigh of relief and packed everything back in her bag. "You're my life savior, Xander. I'll treat you to ice cream after class. Wait for me outside the school entrance later!"
Then, she waved goodbye to Xander before running off.
A faint smile rose on Xander's lips as he watched her leave.
