Chapter 200 How Arrogant

At this moment, Josiah was on the verge of losing his temper.

"D*mn it, Madelyn! Is this the epitome of a so-called underachiever you claimed to be? Have you ever seen an underachiever who could rank second in the entire faculty?"

Tristan also felt deeply embarrassed, feeling very much deceived.

As soon as the class ended, they cornered Madelyn and gave her a piece of their mind.

Madelyn could only maintain an apologetic smile and explain, “Gosh, I forgot to mention earlier that I truly used to be an underachiever. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Jillian.”

At the side, Jillian nodded in affirmation.

Tristan and Josiah were both rendered utterly speechless.

Meanwhile, Janessa watched on the sidelines and immediately recognized Josiah. Isn’t that the son of the Blume family?

She certainly hadn’t forgotten the fact that he shot her to the point that she ached all over at the shooting range that day.

At that moment, as she witnessed the close friendship between Josiah and Madelyn, she was assailed by an inexplicable surge of irritation and overwhelming jealousy.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to her.

Maybe I should also go and join in the fun. After all, the Blume family has considerable influence. Wouldn’t it be great if the two families could establish a connection from this?

Following that thought, Janessa immediately dropped her malicious expression, adopting a friendly demeanor as she walked over.

“Josiah, what a coincidence! I didn’t expect you to attend our school, too,” she remarked smilingly upon approaching Josiah.

For some reason, the moment she made an appearance, she exuded an aura that made others feel uneasy.

To put it bluntly, her pretentiousness was brimming over.

Josiah glanced at her, instinctively finding her insincere, sparking a hint of repulsion within him.

As for how he had taught her a lesson that day, he had long since forgotten. Regardless, he asked bluntly, “Who are you?”

Janessa’s expression abruptly stiffened.

However, she quickly regained her composure and said with a fake smile, “Josiah, you truly have a knack for forgetting things. Have you forgotten that I served as a human target when you taught Madelyn shooting that day?”

"...about me just like that?"

“Oh, it’s you.” Josiah nodded slightly, a vague memory of her coming to mind.

In the next heartbeat, he turned to Madelyn. “Hey, explain clearly how you went from being an underachiever to a top student, woman!”

Janessa eagerly waited for Josiah’s response. No matter what, he would probably at least apologize for what happened that day.

Unexpectedly, he ignored her entirely. She gritted her teeth furtively, almost beside herself with frustration.

With the arrival of Josiah and Tristan, Madelyn’s life certainly became much more enjoyable.

Throughout the day, she remained in high spirits, wearing a grin.

After school in the afternoon, Madelyn planned on going to the combat training center as usual.

Having heard about the plan, Josiah wanted to tag along. Madelyn hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed. She also brought along Tristan and Jillian.

In no time, they arrived at the combat training center.

Right then, Wesley and Sebastian were upstairs, drinking coffee.

Upon seeing Madelyn and Josiah chatting and laughing, Wesley couldn’t help but grumble, “Wasn’t she all over you just a couple of days ago? Why is she with another man in the blink of an eye?”

At a glance, Sebastian recognized the boy conversing with Madelyn to be the son of the Blume family.

As for the rest, they were probably her friends or the like.

It was uncertain where his thoughts went, but his gaze darkened, and he fell silent.

Naturally, Madelyn didn’t notice any of that. She brought them to the martial arts class directly.

Unexpectedly, Josiah was instantly impressed after watching Maxton teach and insisted, “Hey, Coach Wendel, I want to sign up too!”

Upon hearing that, Madelyn snorted coldly. She shot him a sidelong glance, her voice dripping with disdain. “Give it a rest. It’ll be much more comfortable to remain a pampered brat. Stop acting crazy!”

Josiah immediately retorted, “Who said I’m acting crazy? Listen here. You only defeated me this morning because you learned martial arts. It’s only normal that I wasn’t your match. But starting today, I’m going to learn martial arts, too. Once I’ve mastered it, don’t even think about beating me.”

After saying that, Josiah petulantly went over to Maxton to discuss the matter.

Madelyn watched his retreating figure, suddenly finding the situation quite amusing.

I never thought he’d still be hung up on the morning’s incident. Tsk–tsk, how arrogant of him!

Maxton generally was not one to casually train others. However, ever since they had eaten...

Subsequently, the training began.

After teaching them a few techniques, Maxton had them practice with each other.

Josiah was just a beginner, while Madelyn was already somewhat experienced. Therefore, throughout the training, he could be said to be thoroughly crushed by her.

However, he was too stubborn to admit defeat and insisted on continuing. As his cries rang out continuously throughout the match, Madelyn heartlessly laughed at the side.

Both Tristan and Jillian were overjoyed as they watched that scene unfold.

At that moment, on the upstairs of the building, an elderly man stood by the railing’s edge, standing tall while leaning on a cane.

He watched the scene before him, a faint smile gracing his lips.

He was none other than the head of the Blume family.

Initially, Felix was worried Josiah might not adapt well after arbitrarily sending him to a new school. Therefore, receiving a report from his subordinate that his grandson was enjoying himself, he naturally felt relieved.

When school was over, he planned to pick his beloved grandson up and meet the girl who had such a profound influence on his grandson.

But upon arriving at school, he found out that the two of them had already left for the combat training center.

So, he also showed up there at that moment.

Watching his grandson being beaten up to the point of shouting in pain, he wasn’t at all angry. Instead, he laughed. “Quintus, say, this brat is so rebellious at home. Why is he brought to heel by this girl now?”

The man known as Quintus was Felix’s butler, who had served him for many years.

He chuckled amiably. “There’s an old saying that everyone has his bane. Maybe this girl is his bane.”

“Makes sense.” Felix was quite pleased with the explanation after hearing it.

At first, Madelyn was quite happy to beat Josiah up. But later, as she watched him howl in pain, she suddenly couldn’t bring herself to continue further.

She recalled how he recklessly helped her so much in her previous life. Yet, he was bullied by her in this life.

How pitiful…

Hence, she didn’t continue beating him up. Helping him up, she said, “Okay, that’s enough. Let’s call it a day. I’ll apply some medicine for you.”

Aching and sore all over, Josiah naturally agreed.

Following that, Madelyn personally applied medicine on him.
