At the sight, he turned his gaze away from the classroom and back to his small study room, as if annoyed by what seemed to be reality. Then he stepped outside completely and walked toward the person he had just seen.
" Are you seriously eating right now? "
" Agh! Are you a hypocrite?! "
Avner exclaimed in frustration.
" Today a hypocrite, yesterday a psychopath. I wonder what I'll be tomorrow. "
" You!… you stop being this nonchalant. I am very angry right now at you. "
" Hmm… I can see that you are angry… but I wonder what the reason may be. "
The teacher intertwined her fingers, then placed her hands under her chin, her elbows on the table as she leaned forward, as if interested in his feelings.
" Woah, you are absolutely incredible. "
Avner had to turn his back to her in disbelief, then turned around once again to face her.
" Weren't you the one complaining about tardiness yesterday, and yet you made me wait for four DAMN HOURS, and now you are shamelessly looking me in the eyes? "
" Not only that, but you also took your time eating?! What is your excuse now?! "
Avner put both his hands on his hips, anticipating her reaction.
" Hmm… so you are accusing me of being late? "
" POAH. I cannot believe this behavior. "
He was in complete disbelief.
" But, young master, I was not late. "
" What are you talking about? I've been waiting for so long, like a FOOL! "
The new tutor gave him a small smile, which took Avner by surprise and also gave him goosebumps.
She finally stood up from her chair and walked around the table.
" Wait, where are you going? "
Seeing her stand up and slowly approach him, Avner lost some of his confidence.
" Tell me… how did we meet yesterday? "
After asking him that question, she sat on the edge of the table.
" …and you were sitting in the corner like a creep. "
" Brr… even remembering it gives me chills. "
" So what makes you believe I was not here? "
" What the hell are you trying to get at… don't tell me— "
" WERE YOU HERE THIS WHOLE DAMN TIME?! "
" What kind of crazy person would do that? "
" Hmm… based on your words… a psychopath. "
" HMH. That's right, a psychopath. A psychopath is what you are! "
" Woah, I can't believe I waited like this for nothing. "
" But why would you do that? "
" Consider it your first lesson. "
" A lesson? "
Disbelief was written all over his face.
" That's right. "
The tutor stood up and began circling him like a predator circling its prey. Avner certainly felt like her prey in that very moment.
" Even though the circumstances of our first meeting, you never once thought of looking around the place.
You are ignorant and impatient.
You lack awareness.
First thing you learned for today:
You need to be aware of your surroundings at all times, for it will help you fight back in case of unexpected attacks or help you flee if needed.
Pay more attention to the people you meet, for their small habits may help you if they become your enemy.
3… "
The teacher then suddenly stopped right in front of him.
Woah, she is really close right now.
" Don't do anything that may offend or annoy me, or you will pay it back double. "
With that warning, she went back to leaning against the table
