Chapter 762

Austin thought, I’ve not done learning, so how can Nicole stop teaching me?’

Seeing his reluctant face, Nicole smiled helplessly, “What’s the point of learning so many combat techniques? The techniques you know right now are more than enough. It’s not like you’re in the army.

Focus on your studies, and don’t keep thinking of fighting.”

Austin looked at Nicole, and an indescribable look appeared in his eyes. “It’s… it’s not that I want to fight.”

Nicole was the strongest person he had ever seen in the Royal Creek Institute.

He really did not know whom he should learn martial arts from if Nicole did not teach him anymore.

His heart set, Austin said determinedly as he looked Nicole in the face, “I really want to learn martial arts, and maybe join the army or the special forces in the future, to be someone useful to society.”

“Pfft.” When Zeke heard Austin saying something so absurd just to have Nicole continue to teach him, he could not help but laugh. “Austin, you’re overestimating yourself, no? With your level, it’s impossible for you to get into the special forces.”

Zeke’s father, Karlo Guzman, was in the army, so he knew the requirements for the troops best.

“Who do you think you are?” Austin glared at Zeke, a little angry at the latter poking fun at him.

When Zeke heard this, he was even more amused as he looked at the furious Austin and said, “Austin, you don’t know who I am? If you want to join the special forces, I might actually have a say in that.”

Zeke crossed his arms over his chest, acting like a big shot.

Nicole could not stand that and smacked Zeke at the back of the head. “Oh, don’t you go acting full of yourself.”

Karlo was a proper man of his own mind. There was no way he would listen to his son.

Seeing Nicole now demolishing him instead, Zeke’s movements became somewhat stiff.

An awkward look appeared in his eyes. “I’m not. I really do know the requirements for being a special force soldier…”

When Austin heard that, he could not help but be curious as he asked, “How do you know?”

Yet Zeke only cast an icy gaze over. “Speak a word more, and I’ll make sure you lie down there.” He said that as he snarled inwardly, ‘Nicole wouldn’t have scolded me if you didn’t run your mouth, idiot.’

Austin was dumbfounded and piped down as he continued to train. He dared not ask any more questions, but the seeds of suspicion had budded within him. ‘This bastard, Zeke. He seems like someone with quite the background. Who is he exactly?’

However, Austin quickly recomposed himself. ‘If I have time to worry about him, I might as well worry about Boss. What will I do if Boss really doesn’t want to teach me anymore?’

‘Without Boss’s teaching, will a young talent like I get buried?’

Thinking of this, Austin pulled back his wandering thoughts as he focused his gaze on Nicole, hoping that she would change her mind.

However, Nicole seemed to have made up her mind, and no matter how Austin looked at her, she did not react.

After morning practice, Nicole returned to the classroom.

Lulu was the busiest on Monday mornings because she was a course representative responsible for collecting everyone’s homework Seeing that Nicole was still unfazed after being the class rep, Lulu could not help but sigh, “Why are you not as busy as me even after you became class rep?”

Back then, when Vivian was a class rep, she would always issue orders as if she was very busy. Yet, Nicole was different, and she was very free on the first Monday after she took the position.

“There’s nothing much. I’ll go into the details of the sports meet after Ms. Emerson announces it.”

“Sports meet?” Lulu’s eyes widened as she heard that and said as if she recalled something. “Oh yeah, right. It’s the sports meet around this month… Eh, how did you get shoved with this crap right after you took up the position.’

Hearing Lulu’s snarky remark, Nicole could not help but frown. “Is it that difficult?”

Lulu immediately nodded. “Of course. Just think, the Royal Creek Institute is focused on studies and results, and people would take part in some famous competitions, but the sports meet is both a thankless and pointless matter, so most of the class don’t like participating in it…”
