Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 217

Nyx couldn’t suppress the smile tugging at her lips as she watched Chubby’s serious little expression. She thought, ‘He’s really putting on quite the act. The lesson isn’t particularly difficult, but it also isn’t something a hatchling this young should be able to understand.‘

Then again, thinking back, she found that Chubby had always been like this–even before he hatched. The only time he was ever quiet, aside from sleeping, was during the early education lessons his father gave him.

When the lesson ended, the light screen at each seat lit up, displaying a few questions for an in–class quiz.

The tiny python tilted his head, staring at the screen for a while before tapping it with the tip of his tail.

“Hm?” Nyx was stunned. She thought, ‘Is he actually doing the quiz?‘

She couldn’t help but lean in for a closer look, and Theon also moved over to see.

Even the teacher’s attention was drawn, and soon, the entire class was watching Chubby.

At first, they thought he was just randomly tapping around. But the more they watched, the more shocked they became- Chubby was actually getting the answers right.

If it had just been one or two correct answers, they might’ve chalked it up to luck. But when Chubby got all of them right, luck was no longer an explanation.

The teacher’s jaw practically hit the floor. “How did you do that?”

“Daddy taught me. And just now, the teacher explained it too,” Chubby replied, looking at the stunned adults as if they were the ones being ridiculous.

Theon was momentarily speechless.

He had indeed taught Chubby these things, but that was before he even hatched. It had just been early education for exposure–he never expected it to have any real effect.

Chubby’s level of comprehension and memory was far beyond what a hatchling should have. Even most adults couldn’t achieve this.

Meanwhile, Heps glanced at his own quiz score and lowered his head in shame.

After spending years on the Desolate Planet with little education, he was still struggling to catch up. Even though he worked hard to study on his own after class, his performance was barely passable.

Compared to Chubby, he felt absolutely dumb.
