Chapter 1456


    The next morning, Maja awoke, freshened up, grabbed a quick bite, and noticed Quentin looked


    particrly serene, "Is your teacher''s condition worse?"


    "She can''t even speak anymore."


    It looked like she might only have a week left.


    Maja wasn''t sure how to offerfort, so she just patted him on the shoulder.


    They walked together toward Outer Ind High School.


    First thing, Maja handled Quentin''s paperwork at the administration office andpleted a brief


    assessment before settling into her temporary office.


    There were only two art instructors at the school, and neither could be absent.


    ncing at the schedule, Maja was surprised to find that although Forbidden Ind seemed more


    backward than the outside world, the students here received a well-rounded education with sses in


    piano, baking, horseback riding, and more. The frequency of these sses was not high, but they


    touched on everything.


    Were they trying to awaken every possible talent a person might have?


    Some folks weren''t cut out for academic subjects like literature, math, or foreignnguages, but they


    had a real knack for things like baking.


    With such a curriculum, the school could identify such talents, and these students could also be called


    geniuses.


    Maja felt a mix of surprise and disgust upon reviewing the curriculum. It seemed as though the students


    were being squeezed dry. If they struggled with the basics, the higher-ups would do their best to


    unearth other talents to prove that these students weren''t worthless. Every talented student was worth


    studying.


    She frowned deeply, her scalp tingling at the thought. Were most of Outer Ind''s graduates being


    turned intob rats for human experiments?


    If that was the case, the link between BK and the research facility was too close forfort.


    As she settled into her chair, the office door was kicked open by none other than Wade, the rich kid


    from the day before.


    "I heard someone took Quentin’s dying Madam’s spot, and look who it is."


    His gaze roamed over Maja with unabashed interest, and he even went so far as to shut the door


    behind him. There were some kids following himughing outside.


    "Wade, make it quick, man. She''s a real looker."


    "I’m next, never seen such a young, hot teacher."


    Maja sat at her desk, an eyebrow raised. Were these the students of Outer Ind High?

    Even the Madams weren''t safe from their advances. Did the school not care?


    Wade tossed his jacket aside, and as his gaze fell on Maja''s face, he looked ready to pounce.


    "Madam, you know what my family does. The tallest building on Outer Ind, that''s ours. Just say the


    word, and I''ll slip you ten grand."


    He edged closer, but Maja remained unmoved, infuriating him.


    "Bitch!" He reached out to grab her chin, but she caught his wrist, twisted his hand, and pressed him


    down onto the desk in front of her.


    Damn, this woman was strong.


    Maja brought her knee up sharply into his vulnerable spot, and Wade copsed to the floor, howling in


    agony.


    His buddies outside panicked.


    "Wade, what happened?"


    "Someone open the door!"


    But the door was locked by Wade himself, and now no one could open it.


    Maja nced at the wretch wailing on the floor, recalling the injuries she''d seen on some kids the night


    before. A few of them had been dodging and flinching, probably harmed by this scums.


    He didn''t even spare children of five or six. A person like that deserved to die.


    Wade''s face turned red with pain, and he started screaming for help with no regard for his dignity.


    The door burst open, and his concerned cronies rushed in.
