ALL MY WIVES ARE BEAUTIFUL ELVES-Chapter 167 De ja vu??

Kan, having established that he wasn't going to turn around from Ralph and his cohorts who lingered around the entrance of the school proceeded to make his way straight for the wide open entrance.

He was already late so there weren't a lot of students filing in as they normally would.

As he made his way, nearing and walking past them, he glanced at them, Ralph especially whom he had a fight with some days ago.

Ralph quickly turned his eyes away from kan, whispering something to his right hand man, Jerry.

The words were muffled that even Kan could not hear but from Jerry's actions, nodding his head as information was being passed to him, Kan took it that Ralph was giving Jerry some instructions to carry out.

Nonetheless, it seemed the beating he had given Ralph was more than enough to deter him from a confrontation. More so, Jerry appeared in a far worse shape compared to Ralph with bandages all over, making Kan wonder how far Lilith had truly gone to teach Jerry a lesson.

With the entrance door insight and a surprisingly smooth entrance into the hallway of the school, Kan looked over his shoulders to see Jerry and Ralph were still staring at his back.

"That's right, remain where you are and stare," Kan muttered with a smile, proud he had silenced the so called Ebony kings gang members, at least for the time being.

Despite the momentary triumph over Ralph and his gang, Kan hesitated outside the entrance of the elementary class. The warning from Miss Katherine echoed in his mind, a reminder of the consequences he might face for skipping school.

Taking a deep breath, he pushed open the door and stepped into the familiar environment. The elementary class buzzed with activity, children engrossed in their studies, the teacher at the front providing instructions.

Miss Katherine, a stern yet caring figure, noticed Kan's entrance. Her eyes narrowed slightly, a clear indication that she expected an explanation for his recent truancy. Kan, feeling the weight of her gaze, approached her desk with a sense of reluctance.

"Kan, care to explain why you've been absent?" Miss Katherine inquired, her tone a mix of authority and concern.

Kan, knowing he couldn't evade the question, conjured up a response. "You see, Miss Katherine, I had some personal matters to attend to. Family stuff."

The teacher regarded him for a moment, assessing the sincerity in his eyes. "I understand that family is important, Kan. However, education is crucial too. You can't let personal matters interfere with your schooling."

Kan nodded, acknowledging the truth in her words. The classroom atmosphere, while not openly hostile, held a sense of scrutiny. The other students stole glances, whispering among themselves about Kan's mysterious absences.

Miss Katherine, deciding to offer guidance rather than reprimand, continued, "If you're facing difficulties, talk to me. We can find a way to balance your personal matters and your studies."

Grateful for her understanding, Kan nodded again. The weight of responsibility settled on his shoulders, a reminder that juggling personal challenges and academic commitments required a delicate balance.

As the day unfolded, Kan found himself immersed in the routine of classes, the distraction of his recent confrontation with Ralph momentarily fading away. The school bell marked the end of the day, and Kan, despite the initial reluctance, felt a sense of accomplishment for facing the challenges head-on.

Little did he know that the events at school were merely a prelude to a larger narrative, one that would test his resilience and character in unforeseen ways.

Miss Katherine however noticed a few of Kan's scars which weren't done healing up and decided to allow the class end before she confronted him.

As the students filed out, she stopped Kan, calling out to his name and making him walk over to her.

"Yes? You called?" Kan asked, standing in front of miss Katherine who was seemingly staring at him with an almost investigatige look.

"You know, sometimes students like you, whom have shown bright future end up on the wrong side. Not that I'm saying you are better than everyone else, as I clearly do not look at my students that way," Miss Katherine made it clear.

"But I believe from the Mana test and magic rank test, you've proven to have something special. Don't let the personal things get in front of you are blur you from the actual goal," she laid out her mind bare.

Kan nodded, listening to every word she said.

"This is why I'm recommending you visit the school counselor immediately as you head out now. I have informed her about your coming and submitted your file previously. I think she would do a better job than I am now," miss Katherine concluded.

"Oh, I sure will. Thanks for your concern," Kan nodded, seeking permission to leave and was granted so.

He walked out of the door with a smile on his face as his exact thoughts were the same expressions of his fast beating heart.

"Thanks, I do need therapy I believe, after all I have been through already," Kan said with glee.

He walked through the hallway with a grin on his face which some people caught.

As Kan made his way through the hallway, a subtle buzz of whispers and curious glances followed him like a gentle breeze. His classmates, always quick to pick up on any hint of favoritism, began to gossip about the unexpected attention he received from Miss Katherine.

"Did you see the way she called him back after class?"

"Kan is totally getting special treatment. I wish I had a teacher who cared that much."

"I heard she recommended him to see the school counselor. What's that about?"

The rumors swirled around, forming a tapestry of speculation and envy. The notion that Kan, who had already stood out academically, was now gaining the concern of a teacher and a counselor added a layer of intrigue.

Kan, oblivious to the ongoing chatter, continued down the hallway with a sense of purpose. The weight of expectations and the scars of his past experiences appeared momentarily lighter as he considered the prospects of what was going to happen.

Kan made his towards the counselor's office and knocked on the door.

He got a shallow "come in" but that was enough for even his ears to pick up as he walked into the office.

Just as he expected, she sat behind her desk with a pile of files in front of her.

However, she appeared different in a certain way from the last time he saw her.

"Good day, counselor," Kan said, standing in front of her.

She gestured for Kan to sit while she stared at him intently as he did.

"So, you weren't going to come back here if it wasn't for the fact that you were recommended here?" Bhella asked right away, staring at Kan.

Kan the entire time feeling the awkward tension opted to do the easier option which was to stare at the conspicuous flower that seemed to be intelligent enough to move on its own on her desk.

However, Bhella did something strange.

"Sit down and stop distracting him, Guss!!" Bhella yelled and miraculously, the flower seemed to narrow its top down to the desk, no longer dancing before kan's eyes.

'That shit never gets any less weirder. Didn't even know it could understand what she says!!' Kan internalized.

"So, I hear you've been skipping school? Why is that?" Bhella asked, opting to brush aside her earlier grievances with Kan and move on.

"It's just somethings I have to handle," Kan said.

"Well, obviously those things seem to involve getting wounded. Look at the scars on you!" Bhella said, noticing it and straight away got up from her seat, walking round the desk separating herself from kan and moving over to sit on her desk, shifting her intelligent plant in the process.

"This is like de ja vu!" Kan thought, seeing her perched Bhella was on the desk brought back memories of their last encounter.

Bhella traced her hands around kan's face, feeling the slight bumps he still had on him.

"It's fine, just a scratch from a fall," Kan lied, trying to brush her hands off of him.

"what? I can't touch you anymore?" Bhella asked as she noticed Kan's stiffness towards her.

"Not that, I just don't feel comfortable in here," Kan explained.

"Oh..." Bhella said before swiftly jumping down from her desk and heading for the door.

Kan didn't look at what she was doing but hearing a click sound, he knew exactly what she had done.

"It's locked, feel safe now?" Bhella said from behind, her hands running down kan's shoulders to his chest.

She felt his hard chest muscles and bit her lips before bending to whisper something to him.

"You know, I've missed you. Everytime you are in school, I watch you walk past this office and it hurts me that you wouldn't even look here," 𝑓𝓇ℯℯ𝓌ℯ𝑏𝑛𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"I ...I didn't mean it that way," Kan stuttered.

"It's fine, you are here now. That's all that matters," Bhella said.
