Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

"I need you too!"

Rudy moved his face close to Rize's face and kissed her on the lips, or he would have if he hadn't heard someone approaching the office.

He jerked his leg and made the book fall from his lap. And the moment her office door opened, he picked up the book and pretended to be oblivious.

However, he wasn't happy after seeing the person at the door. It was the teacher who had insulted Rudy when he was in the vampire world.

"What's going on here?" the teacher asked.

Rize was facing her back to the door, so she had time to wipe her tears.

"Miss Rize was helping me out with the studies," Rudy responded.

"You can do that in the staffroom too."

"Indeed. But some people in the staffroom don't know how to mind their own business," Rudy remarked.

"I didn't ask you," the teacher retorted. "Miss Rize, you should know that you are not allowed to use your office for such things, right?"

Rize turned around and said, "I am."

"So what's all this? Do you want me to report this to the principal?"

"I don't see any issue here. I am simply helping one of my students."

"That's not the issue. But… well, whatever." He diverted the question and asked, "Why are you sitting on the couch beside him? You have a chair and your desk."

"The chair is broken," Rize replied instantly.

"Why are 'you' here?" Rudy suddenly asked.

"I was just here to check up on her," the teacher responded while glancing at the hallway.

"And why would you do that?"

The teacher glared at Rudy and said, "You don't get to ask me such questions. But I will answer it anyway.

Rize is an intern teacher, and I am a veteran who is also her adviser. I have to check whether she is performing her duty properly or not. It's an adult matter. Poor kids like you won't understand."

"Oh, I see." Rudy nodded and calmly said, "Then you have nothing to worry about. Rize is young and far better than you."

(Translation - Rize is nothing like you. You are a piece of shit!)

The teacher frowned his face and asked, "What did you just say?! Do you want me to get you expelled?!"

"Oh, my bad, Sir. I should have said it properly." Rudy cleared his throat and said with a smile on his face, "I was trying to say that Rize is young while you are an old man. She is far younger than you and has much time to gain wisdom and experience."

(Translation- Rize is young and beautiful. Even though she is strict, almost all the boys in the school like her because of how hot she is. While you are old and an ugly bald bastard. No one in this school likes you, and they hope that you get into some kind of accident.)

The teacher gritted his teeth and said, "You won't get away with this!"

"Oh, I don't plan to go anywhere, Sir. I will be here. Now, please, if you would excuse yourself so I can study in peace," he said calmly with the same gentle smile on his face.

(Translation- Get the fuck out of here, you baldy! So I can flirt with Rize!)

The teacher left the door wide open and left with heavy steps.

Rize and Rudy waited until the sound of the footsteps faded away. They stared at each other and giggled.

"You shouldn't have said that," Rize said while holding her laugh.

"You are laughing too. And come on, that baldy deserves to be treated like that."

"Still, he is an adult and your teacher. You should talk to him with respect."

"I don't even remember his name."

"His name is Andrew."

"All the students call him 'ugly ass, baldy, fatto, chimp, and shit'. What do the faculties call him?" Rudy asked curiously.

"Well… no one actually talks with him. No one enters the staffroom when he is the only one in there. They all avoid him. Even in the meetings, they call him 'hey' and 'you'. As for the teachers gathering after school when sometimes they go out to eat, no one invites him," Rize stated with a slight smirk on her face.

"I kind of pity him for how he is…" she snickered.

"Look at you…" Rudy squinted his eyes at Rize and said, "You asked me to be respectful, and here you are making fun of him."

"No. I was just stating facts," Rize shrugged.

"Honestly speaking, I wholeheartedly agree with the thumb rule of the society."

"What's that?"

"Treat others the way you want to be treated— or something along those lines. That's an obvious thing to do. But even though that piece of shit is over 40 years old, he doesn't understand that.

He lives alone with no lover or family. He never had a past relationship. He doesn't go out. He doesn't even have a single friend, and he never had one when he was in school or university.

Given how ugly his personality is, I am sure he was the same when he was my age. Seriously, he is the best example of a worthless and pathetic petty adult.

He envies those who are happy and better than him. He finds a way to berate them. Eric, for example, he is smarter than the average, he is good-looking, and most importantly, he is rich.

On the first day of school, Andrew tried to pick up on Eric, and since then, Eric hates his guts."

"I didn't know something like that had happened…" Rize muttered. "What exactly did he do?" She asked with a curious look on her face.

"It's a long story, but I will explain it in short." After a brief pause, he said, "Basically, Andrew thought Eric was one of those spoiled brats who flaunt their parents' money to act cool in school.

So he taunted Eric about it and even insulted him for no reason. Do you know what Eric did?"

"What did he do?"
