Laker’s reaction was exactly the same as before. He nodded to Su Ye.
Su Ye had gotten rid of the suspicion and become successful, and Laker was not so enthusiastic anymore.
“Pride, plus he is a mental clean freak,” Su Ye evaluated in his heart.
Hort was the same as before. He smiled and waved at Su Ye, people were afraid that he would poke the roof open.
Su Ye smiled as he greeted him and judged in his heart, “This guy looks like he has forgotten about what happened yesterday. He is indeed honest and good-natured.”
Rolon nodded, and there was no change in his attitude.
“That’s alright. Deskmates are better. They won’t make me feel awkward,” Su Ye thought.
Su Ye patted Laker’s back first and said, “Thank you.”
Then, he thanked Hort and Rolon.
Hort was over the moon. He felt that he finally had a chance to help Su Ye.
Rolon’s reaction was still the same, he just nodded and glanced out of the window gloomily. His handsome face was radiant under the sunlight, making a female classmate at the front row blush and her heart beat faster.
Su Ye finally sat in his seat. He turned and looked at the page of Palos’ Spellbook.
Palos quietly closed the book and sat up straight.
She did not want him to read.
“Thank you for yesterday,” Su Ye wanted to reach out and pat Palos’ shoulder, but he realized that that was not right, so he withdrew his hand.
Palos straightened her neck and did not say a word.
Su Ye noticed that the girl was embarrassed, he opened Spellbook and started to prepare for today’s lesson.
Only then did Palos open her Spellbook again and study earnestly.
In a short while, Su Ye slowly pushed his Spellbook towards Palos’ Spellbook.
Palos’ head did not move. She glanced at Su Ye out of the corner of her eyes, and the two blue lakes in her eyes suddenly started to ripple.
She clenched her small fists tightly.
A sentence was written on Su Ye’s Spellbook: You’ve been eavesdropping on my conversation a lot, right?
Su Ye smiled smugly and put away the Spellbook.
Then, he pushed it over again.
“Save my contact in your Spellbook for magic messages. You blocked strangers’ messages.”
Palos did not move and continued to read her Spellbook.
Su Ye saw that his tactic did not work, so he took the book back and wrote a few sentences before pushing it toward her again.
“Deskmate, add me. What if I have something urgent that needs you and I can’t find you? You must have heard me telling Hort before that people should leave their comfort zone, stay in the learning zone, and occasionally try out the panic zone. You must work hard to change yourself and keep improving. Girl, be braver. Add me as a friend and feel the panic in the panic zone.”

The moment Palos saw the word “Deskmate”, her heart skipped a beat for no reason, but when she read the rest of the sentence, she almost rolled her eyes and decisively pushed Su Ye’s book away.
“Well…”Su Ye sighed softly.
Hort turned to him and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing much. So many female students asked me out yesterday, but I rejected them all. Now I regret a little.”
Hort asked in surprise, “Why would you regret that? Going out with them would waste a lot of time. A girl once asked me out, we ate and had fun. She even complimented me, but she just didn’t like to study. When I trained on the field, she wouldn’t come with me. All she did was clean my sweat after I finished practicing. Moreover, she was shy, loved to dilly-dally and touch everywhere. In a fit of anger, I broke up with her! I can’t stand this kind of person who doesn’t want to be better!”
Su Ye squinted at Hort for a long time, patted his shoulder, and said, “Well done. When I become rich, I’ll buy you a better strigil.”
“Really? I want a bigger one, and scraping with the smaller one is tiring.” Hort did not refuse. Anyway, Su Ye did not look like someone who would become rich.
“No problem. I’ll definitely buy the biggest one.”
Su Ye promised, but in fact, he was still not used to the Greek custom.
After training, the Greek warriors, athletes, and even mages often used olive oil to wipe their bodies, and then used a special body scraping tool to clean the dirt.
The dirt, mixed with olive oil and sweat, was used as medicinal ingredients.
In Plato Academy and Noble Academy, the dirt was specially collected and sold every day. It was a famous commodity in Athens, and it was always in short supply.
The students often joked that it was the dirt that fed the entire school.
The dirt that was scraped off from the body of the champion of the competition was treated by the Greeks as a precious item and was called “Holy Dirt”. It would even be auctioned off.
This was because the Greeks believed that the champion had received god’s blessings. They believed that the Holy Dirt had powerful magic, and eating it would give them divine power.
However, the truly powerful warriors would occasionally use magic potions and olive oil to protect their bodies and heal their injuries. Eating this kind of magic dirt was indeed beneficial, as long as they were not afraid of the ickiness.
However, the warriors who could afford the magic potion and olive oil would not care about the money obtained from selling the dirt.
Not long after, Jimmy walked in. When he saw Su Ye, he was very enthusiastic.
He was also the only deskmate who was more enthusiastic than usual.
After Ebert came, he kept looking at Su Ye, but in the end, he was still too embarrassed and continued to think about how to create a strong, handsome, and male living puppet.
At noon, Su Ye and Hort came to the cafeteria together.
Su Ye encountered an unprecedented scenario. For the first time, the number of people who greeted him was more than that who greeted Hort.
There were even people who deliberately sat beside Su Ye and asked him about those learning methods.
Su Ye was not nervous at all. He just used the real-life Feynman Technique to strengthen his learning and said whatever he had to say.
More and more people surrounded him. They only went away when the food arrived.
Some student clubs took the initiative to invite Su Ye, but Su Ye declined all of them. After all, his main goal this year was to pass all the exams and not be expelled.
When the lunch break was about to end, students from all over Plato Academy rushed to the school gate.
“Carlos has been kicked out of the school!”
Someone shouted outside the classroom, and the entire third class was instantly thrown into chaos.
“Su Ye, let’s Go!”
“Let’s go and take a look!”
Su Ye didn’t want to go, but he was pushed and shoved by a group of students, so he had no choice but to go and take a look.
Near the gate, Gregory walked with Carlos toward the gate, they were walking between two rows of statues.
More than half of the school was standing near the Sea Demon Fountain.
Suddenly, a student shouted, “Carlos, do you know what magic Is?”
Another student immediately replied loudly, “What pyramid?”
Everyone burst into laughter.
From yesterday until today, countless people had joked about these two sentences.
Carlos’ back was facing his classmate, his right hand was tightly clutching the side of his robe.
Su Ye looked at Carlos.
As a classmate, Su Ye had a little sympathy for Carlos, but as a victim, he would not be merciful.
Even though Su Ye knew that Carlos did not want to harm him, he was probably threatened by someone else.
But he had certainly hurt himself.
“He’s actually a pretty good person. Laker analyzed that he must have been forced by a powerful noble to do this.” Hort sighed.
“He can choose,” Su Ye said.
“What if he has no other choice?” Rolon who was beside him asked.
“He must have a choice,” Su Ye said.
Rolon stopped talking, with an I’m-not-gonna-argue-with-you expression.
