Chapter 281 – Each Person’s Will
The corporal punishment of students whose home education was a mess was put to an end by an old professor who happened to be passing by and came running after hearing the screams.
“Using violence within the academy is going too far, even for a cardinal! “I will officially report this incident to the academy and parents’ association, so you better be prepared!”
The old professor scolds me, raising blood in his neck.
Are you angry at the sight of students lying around covered in feces and urine?
No, if you look at them and see them frowning as if they are dirty, I can assure you that it was not that.
Most likely, they are trying to take this opportunity to avenge their past humiliation.
When they invaded the academy to save Elysia and when they punished several nobles, including Beast’s older brother, on the opening day of school.
Because he was the one who got all the criticism from Jun for showing up for no reason.
“Joy! “Do whatever you want, whether you report it or not.”
Jun’s status within the academy is strictly a student.
Of course, there was no right to corporal punishment available only to professors, and if you caused a problem, you could be kicked out of the academy.
Therefore, it was obvious that if this incident became known to the academy and the parents’ association, it would be bothersome in many ways, but Jun’s response to the old professor’s criticism was to give it a try if he can.
That’s right,
“But what makes you say that I used violence?”
Even though they were covered in poop and urine, the students’ bodies were fine.
How can it be an assault if there is not even the slightest wound?
Did you urinate?
I strongly admonished him not to bother his friend, but he just said that was it and that was it.
Unless you’re an idiot, you won’t believe that excuse, but since there’s no evidence that he assaulted you, you won’t be able to argue further.
It is also natural for humans to be admonished for doing bad things.
“Hehe. At least the wounds that came after the assault were probably healed through that fairy. That method may have worked outside, but not here, at the Imperial Academy.”
The old professor said that with a sly smile, then took out a wand from his pocket and cast a spell.
“Spirit of the Earth! I will give you magic power, so tell me what happened here!”
The magic circle completed at the end of the old man’s staff turned into powder and seeped into the ground.
Soon, a small human-shaped earth spirit appeared from the ground.
The summoning magic, which allows you to receive help from nearby spirits in exchange for magical power, has been activated properly.
‘I heard that his skills are better than he looks.’
Unless the attribute affinity is very high, spirits do not respond to people’s calls.
The summoning magic cast by Professor Kkondae is a magic that solves that characteristic, but since it is a method of ignorantly creating attribute affinity that does not exist, it is not very efficient and the difficulty of the magic is also very difficult.
The fact that he could cast such a spell so easily meant that the old professor’s magic skills were that great.
Could it be that he gained magical skills by sacrificing half his hair?
Hehe. You seem to be worried that the truth will be revealed. It’s not too late to admit your mistake and make amends. If you do so, out of respect for the Cardinal, I will specifically overlook this incident. Well, the Cardinal will have to fully bear the anger of the students.”
As she was seriously considering the possibility, the old professor seemed to have misunderstood that she had hit the nail on the head and continued to make strange threats.
Well, it was worth it.
Any spirit in this area would have watched everything that happened here.
Moreover, the spirit hated lies.
It was said that there was no need to worry about lying because of Jun’s power and power.
In fact, it is the best checkmate.
If things continued like this, it was obvious that the lie would be revealed.
“Quit talking nonsense and tell the spirit to tell the truth.”
Despite that situation, there was no change in Jun’s attitude.
Instead of being anxious, he gave an arrogant look as if he had nothing to worry about and gestured with his chin as if telling him to go ahead and do it.
Please note that it was not a bluffing act.
“Profit! I definitely gave it a chance. Government ordinance! This person assaulted these students, right? Right?”
Doridori
Haha. “I knew it would be like that, huh?”
Doridori
I didn’t hit you.
They say that every three years of a Seodang’s life, the harvest moon is recited?
The spirit of the academy couldn’t recite wind and moon, but it knew how to write letters on the ground.
“Oh, you didn’t hit me? Then what on earth was that scream…”
Professor Kkondae seems to be moved by the spirit’s actions and is unable to continue speaking.
It’s worth it.
A spirit that doesn’t care about anything other than nature and its contractors writes letters. If this fact is announced to the industry, many people will definitely be shocked and upset.
-Huh? From Port’s perspective, I don’t think it’s because of that particular reason.
-Yeah, no. I’m just being sarcastic. Rather, Dohwa, I think it’s over now, so stop scaring me. The shaking looks suspicious.
-I understand.
Dohwa nodded at Jun’s words and glared fiercely at the Earth Spirit one last time.
It meant behaving well until the end.
Nod!
The earth spirit, who has managed to understand this meaning, stands up straight and nods his head like a maniac, like a soldier in full military command.
Wouldn’t that be what a soldier who received direct orders from a general would look like?
This is not entirely wrong. To the spirits, Shinsoo was no different from the eldest person in the family.
Nature was created by the Divine Beast, and the first spirit born from that nature was the Spirit King.
Judging by the force felt, the rank of the earth spirit in front of me is low.
Although he may have lived longer than Professor Kkondae, he would be on the younger side among spirits with almost no lifespan.
Therefore, it was not strange for the Earth Spirit to show up in front of Dohwa and to watch Dohwa’s thoughts and tell lies that he did not like.
Well, technically Dohwa was an elder from another family, but…
It’s not just a difference of one or two lines, it’s a difference that sounds harsh, so how can we ignore it?
“Perhaps the cardinal’s spirit did something to this spirit.”
The old professor, who belatedly realizes Dohwa’s existence, opens his eyes and looks at her with suspicion.
Even if he was just a little interested in Jun, he could tell that his familiars, fairies and spirits, were not ordinary beings, so he had reason to be suspicious.
“Well. What are you talking about? Dohwa, did you happen to do that?”
“Socheop didn’t do anything.”
But so what? Do you have any proof that this is what happened? Huh?
“Well, there’s no evidence, but there’s a good chance…”
“It’s always a possibility. Don’t catch someone alive without proper evidence. And professor, if you truly care about your students, wouldn’t your first priority be comforting this student who was bullied by those students, rather than catching the culprit who did that to those students?”
“Hi!”
Jun placed his hand on the shoulder of the bullied student who was watching the situation helplessly.
Then, for some reason, the student stood up and screamed, like a small animal that had encountered a predator.
No, I helped you at best, but why are you reacting like this? Shamelessly, Three.
“Hmm. Student Bruce, are you feeling okay?”
Only then does the old man look at the student and ask about his condition.
However, there was a feeling of reluctance in his tone of voice, and there was contempt in his eyes as he looked at the student.
When I saw that, I felt like I knew what kind of nonsense he was going to say after that.
“Thank goodness. But is it really true that it ended up like that because I was assaulted by those students?”
“Yes? Yes, that’s right…”
“Don’t answer hastily out of anger; think carefully before speaking. I understand that you and those students are very close friends… But isn’t it just a small misunderstanding that led to a fight among your friends? If that’s the case, be honest. “Don’t say anything you’ll regret.”
As expected, Professor Kkondae tried to brush this incident off as nothing special.
And in a truly absurd way.
Can’t he see the student’s face distorted when he hears the word “Friend”?
If he could see it, Jun really wanted to ask him.
Does he think of himself as an educator?
‘Well, at least he would say that he is a true educator.’
Jun shook his head in disgust.
Then he said, blocking the way of the old professor who was still pressuring the student to stop this incident.
“Stop it, Professor. What those students did to this student was not a fight between friends, but an assault that was clearly visible to anyone.”
“Hmm. Are you sure? “I wonder if you didn’t look at it that way because of the students’ origins.”
“… I wouldn’t say absolutely not.”
When Jun did not deny it, the old professor looked puzzled but burst into laughter as if to say, “That’s right.”
I haven’t finished talking yet, but if you like it like you’ve won everything, why don’t you write it?
“So, let’s ask this spirit friend who is far from the logic of power.”
“Uh? That, that!”
“Friend, what did you think? Was what those students did to this student an assault? Or was it just a prank between friends?”
Assault!
The earth spirit expressed his opinion not only on the ground but also with his hands and feet.
Jun said, patting the Earth Spirit’s head as if he had done well.
“I will report everything that happened here to the academy and parents’ association. I will also report the professor’s disrespect to me to the church and the imperial family. There will be people who don’t believe my report, but even then, this guy will play an active role.”
The old professor’s face turned pale in an instant.
Soon he got down on his knees in front of Jun and prayed, as if he had thrown away all respect.
“Chorus, Cardinal. No, Cardinal, I was wrong. Please look at it just once, just once.”
“If student Bruce forgives the professor, let’s think about it.”
“Yes?”
Bruce, an assaulted student who panics when his name is called out of nowhere.
Whether he was so embarrassed or not, Professor Kkondae went in front of him and begged for his mistakes, just like he did to Jun.
“Uh? “Huh?”
Bruce looks at Jun, not knowing what to do.
Jun looked directly at him with his calm, sunken eyes telling him to do whatever he wanted.
Bruce slowly erases his embarrassment and looks determined.
He said, clenching his fists as if he had made up his mind.
“Get away from me!”
