Don't you just love it when the mc of a story is an idiot with low EQ, and always gets dragged around by a girl, whether it's an annoying teacher or popular student? I love that too. It's definitely the best use of everyone's time to have to slog through that ****. Forget just declining to becoming an alchemy assistant and just not go to the alchemy class(that you don't need to go to anyway, because you already know it all), it's always easier to write more chapters if the mc is a dumb cunt and says yes to blow off the teacher. Because saying yes to something you don't want to do is the best way to not have to do that thing, right? Future alchemy god and massive genius... As if I could believe that after this.
