The Author's POV

—Ding!

"This game is bugged! Bugged I say!"

A sudden smartwatch notification clogged up the game screen at a crucial moment. Monica, who was resting on her sofa, roared and threw her phone across the room.

"You lost again?"

With her eyes on her laptop, Donna raised her hand and the phone stopped mid-air.

"Donna! The game bugged, I swear!"

Jumping on the sofa, Monica protested. Donna's face remained stoic.

"That's what you said last time"

"Ghhh...this time it's for real!"

"Sure, sure, whatever you say"

This was the fourth time Monica said the same thing. At this point, it was plain to see that Monica was just a sore loser.

—Plack!

Closing the laptop, Donna leaned back on her chair. With her arms crossed, Donna skeptically looked at Monica.

"By the way Monica. how did you get permission to teach the students so early?"

Even though Monica had told her she would be coming this week, she should've gone to an instructor training camp for the first two weeks. It was odd for her to suddenly show up unannounced inside of a classroom.

Despite Monica's power, it didn't matter if she was powerful or not. What was the point of being strong if you could not teach?

You couldn't just have someone become an instructor without adequate training.

"Didn't I tell you I was coming today?"

Calming down and putting her phone away, Monica slumped on the sofa and rested her feet on the tea table in front of her.

"You did, but you still did not go through training. I can't have you teach the students without adequate training"

Pausing, Donna's eyes narrowed.

"Don't tell me you've bribed some of the teachers..."

"Don't know what you're talking about"

Opening her eyes widely, Monica turned her head to the side and feigned ignorance. Her acting was terrible.

'As I expected'

Donna massaged her forehead.

Monica had obviously bribed someone in order to come to class today. She should've known better. Especially given the fact that she knew Monica's character quite well. This was definitely something that Monica would've done.

"Haaa...Monica, you know that you have to follow the rules right?"

"Ugh, stop being uptight. I'm Monica Jeffrey, 27th in the hero ranking! What is there to teach me!"

Standing up, Monica clenched her fist in protest.

Donna shook her head and ignored her pleas. This was for the safety of the students. Given how erratic Monica could be at times, Donna refused to let her anywhere near them without any adequate training.

"Until you've completed your training, I'm not letting you anywhere near the classroom again. Do you understand"

"Fine..."

Donna was the only person that could force her to back down. If not for Donna, Monica would've been a
