Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby novel Chapter 252

Chapter 252: Welcome to Dún Scáith

Professor Novalyn Riven Thunderwing halted mid-stride. She turned to Raijin with a flash of anger... her patience already worn thin. From yesterday afternoon until now she had been in her office on the first floor, attempting to comprehend a new skill and failing again and again. Hungry, tired and frustrated, she had rushed to the library seeking precedent or guidance. Raijin’s shout interrupted the last thread of focus she had left.

Normally strict and uncompromising, Professor Nova despised rule-breakers. Now, disturbed and confronted with a possible offender, fury rose quickly under her composure.

"Who is Cadet Eleanor?" she hissed.

"That’s me, Professor." Eleanor rose and answered politely.

Raijin glowed inwardly with triumph. Fortune had finally handed him an opportunity to avenge his humiliation. He had lost to Eleanor in the Tower of Legends... fair, he admitted, but the sting of defeat to a mere werewolf annoyed him to the end. Today, he had the opportunity to strike back.

"Why have you entered our library?" Professor Nova demanded. "Do you not know it is forbidden to enter a school library unless you are a student? Have you not read the guidebook?"

"Yes, Professor. I know the rules. I had permission from the reception to enter the library," Eleanor replied calmly.

Eleanor’s mind raced for a solution. "How can I prove I’m enrolled in this department? I’m a visiting student, yes, but still a student. There’s no physical ID to show. Shall I go downstairs to fetch the receptionist? This Raijin... now a dragon, yet he still behaves like a snake. In the end, no one escapes their genes," she thought.

Professor Nova’s voice tightened. "The reception has no authority to grant library access to students of another school. Either you lie, or the receptionist is in league with you. Tell me the truth. If you lie, the punishment will be far harsher."

Eleanor said, "I don’t know how to prove to you that I really am a student of this school. I only just enrolled as a visiting student, and the receptionist told me I could use the library to catch up with the class."

Professor Nova paused, slightly taken aback. "You are saying... you are a visiting student? Correct? When did you awaken your bloodline?"

"Yesterday," Eleanor replied.

At once, Raijin interjected, his voice laced with disdain. "Professor, she’s a werewolf... and not from the Lychos clan. I know it for certain. She possessed a mind-related bloodline. Her middle name is Elizabeth. If you don’t believe me, ask Ignatius. He’s a Lychos." He pointed towards Ignatius, who had been doing his best to stay unnoticed in the confrontation.

"Who permitted you to speak while I was talking?" Professor Nova snapped, her tone sharp as lightning. Still, she turned her gaze to Ignatius and asked, "Is that true?"

Ignatius gave a reluctant nod. "Yes, Professor."

Before Nova could say more, Eleanor spoke up quickly. "Professor, I am not lying. You can ask the receptionist. I don’t know any lightning spells yet... otherwise I could demonstrate one to you."

"No need," Professor Nova cut her off. "What is your cadet number?"

"659, Professor," Eleanor answered at once.

Professor Nova tapped the device on her wrist. "Show me the course list of Cadet 659."

A glowing screen flickered into existence before her eyes.

Professor Nova checked the course list and found the Lightning School listed under Eleanor’s name. Though reassured that the cadet had not broken any rule, her anger only deepened.

She turned sharply towards Raijin. "What is your cadet number?"

"601, Professor," Raijin replied.

Her gaze moved to the other two. "And yours?"
