(From MC’s perspective)
Little Star Gate High School,
Eric Wallace led both of his students to the headmaster’s office. On the way, he couldn’t help but recall in mind, what he had just witnessed now.
An 11th-rank wizard was thrashed by a newcomer. He couldn’t help but glance at Vincent. How long has it been? It is not even a month over. But Vincent can fight against the top-rank wizards. Such a power, where is this coming from? Sub-taboo magic?
Eric furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. But he is genuinely shocked by Vincent’s combat strength. On one hand, the issue of Lucas Brad has already spread like wildfire inside the school.
Now he has another issue at hand right now. He doesn’t know? How the new headmaster will react? Unfortunately, he was not present yesterday. So this matter is yet to resolve.
When it comes to Liam Baker, he will come to the headmaster’s cabin directly later. So there is no need to wait for him. After entering the school, he quickly walked toward the management building.
…
On the other hand, I looked at Easton Brown from time to time. But he was averting his gaze. I saw there is no arrogance or contempt in his eyes other than shock, doubt and confusion.
I wasn’t surprised by seeing his myriad expressions. I’m sure he is not expecting me to come at him like this. But still, I’m not satisfied, I will challenge him during the next combat class.
By then my attributes would have been increased. And I will have no problem taking care of him. Then retracting thoughts from that I shifted to current things.
Everything happened because of Liam Baker. He was the mastermind behind this incident. But surprisingly, I didn’t see him entering the school today.
After a few minutes, we reached the headmaster’s cabin. Only at this time, I began to think about him. When I saw him during combat class last time, the new headmaster appeared to be calm and composed. He seemed to be kind.
I hope he won’t handle things like the former headmaster collins. The class reached and stepped inside after opening the door. Both of us then quietly followed him to enter inside.
As I walked into the room, my attention is immediately drawn to the white coat. Next, my gaze landed on the small name stand on the table. “Chester Nixon,” I said in my heart.
I saw the new headmaster noticed our presence but he is busy working on the screen. Seeing that, we stood in silence without disturbing him.
A few minutes later another person walked into the room. Seeing him, a cold glint flashed into my eyes. Liam Baker entered the room as if nothing had happened.
But when he saw me his face completely changed. It has become ugly. I can only think the news must have reached his ears.
Before I could think of something else, I heard a coughing sound. I turned and saw, the headmaster Nixon is looking at us. .
“Who is Liam Baker here?” The headmaster asked.
Hearing that, I glanced at Liam.
“Headmaster, I’m Liam Baker,” Liam raised his hand immediately. But I saw there is no fear on his face. Like he had come prepared to tackle everything here.
“Why did you instigate the fight between your classmates?” Chester Nixon inquired. There is a report on his desk. He went through it before they came here.
He saw through the crux of the matter. The issue is nothing but typical rivalry between the students. But still, he has to punish the students for breaking this rule.
Liam Baker on the other hand already thought of something. He answered, “Headmaster, we were fooled by two people. We assumed Lucas Brad and Vincent Carey were strong. So we decided to test them.”
“Since Vincent was absent yesterday. We decided to start with Lucas Brad. Surprisingly, he couldn’t able to withstand Easton’s attack. If we had known that Lucas is weak, we wouldn’t have touched him,” Liam added.
He tried to portray that he was misled by the lies.
Easton Brown wanted to smack Liam right away. Because Liam has falsehood in his words. Easton Brown wanted to remind him that Vincent is stronger than they had imagined.
Since it’s the headmaster’s office, he can’t voice his opinion loudly.
But Chester Nixon’s cunning eyes were already seen through Liam’s lies. Since he has no formal teaching experience, he won’t know what type of punishment should be given.
Then he looked at the class teacher Eric and asked, “What do you think?”
Eric Wallace standing like a statue. But he was startled after hearing the voice, “is he asking my suggestion?” He thought to himself.
The next second, he blurted out something without thinking, “I think a few weeks of suspension would be enough.”
A quick glint flashed into Chester Nixon’s eyes.
Then he said, “Alright, here I suspend Liam Baker for two months and Easton Brown for one month.”
Hearing that, Eric Wallace was stunned. He felt the days of suspension were high. He wanted to tell something but after seeing the intense eyes of the new headmaster. He stopped himself midway.
He heard that the new headmaster is specially appointed by Chairman Benjamin. So he doesn’t want to offend both by doing this. Liam and Easton are both top wizards in the class. So he feels the suspension won’t affect them that much.
Easton Brown now totally regretted his stupid actions. He shouldn’t have agreed to help Liam in the first place. But he feels fortunate that the matter ended with suspension.
On the other hand, Liam Baker was furious in his heart. Because he was punished more than Easton Brown. Unsatisfaction is seen on his face.
“Headmaster, I didn’t do anything actually,” Liam tried to convince but before he could finish his words.
Chester Nixon replied, “If you do the same thing again, you will be demoted to class A2.”
“Period,” he added.
Hearing that, Liam closed his mouth. He doesn’t want to see himself in class A2 fighting for resources. Now he is suddenly satisfied with the punishment which he has received.
Before the new headmaster could change his mind. He wants to go home right away.
Fortunately, the new headmaster instructed them to leave the next second.
On the other hand, seeing Liam and Easton walking away just like that. I don’t know what to do. To be honest I’m not okay with the punishment.
But it can’t be helped right now. Because I’m not sure what type of punishment he will give me.
Chester Nixon found still two people didn’t leave the room. Seeing that he asked, “What about you guys?”
Class teacher Eric quickly explained what had happened outside.
“SIGH,” Chester Nixon let out a deep sigh before looking at Vincent Carey. Seeing the familiar face. He quickly recalled the duel that happened during the combat class.
Realising that his expression eases down a little bit. He replied, “You see your actions might impact the image of the school.”
“So do you understand?”
“Where did you go wrong?”
Hearing that I immediately shook my head in response.
Chester Nixon commented, “The thing with the elite class is that everyone has some organisation standing behind them. So school can’t impose serious restrictions on them or give some harsh punishment.”
“But as school management, we can’t let you exploit the loopholes. In my opinion, punishment should be given at least.”
“So for you, it’s two weeks of suspension.”
“I hope after returning, you will not do these brawls. If you want to fight, you can do it during combat challenge,” Chester Nixon said.
When I heard two weeks of suspension, images of mum and dad flashed before my eyes. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. But I feel somewhat lucky compared to those two.
It is just two weeks, I can return in no time.
My worries were swept away after gaining some clarity in my thoughts. But it’s pity that I can’t smash those two in any time sooner. I’ll have to wait for one or two months for them to come back.
On the other hand, Eric Wallace was again surprised by the suspension given to Vincent. He thought the headmaster will let him off after a warning. Because technically Vincent didn’t break the rules.
Other than the image, the school won’t suffer anything. Unfortunately, he can’t have any say in this. Then both left the headmaster’s cabin.
After coming out of the cabin, Eric looked at Vincent and said, “I’m surprised by your strength. I hope you won’t waste those two weeks’ time.”
“I want to see you challenge the top 10 wizards,” he added further.
When I heard his words, a quick glint flashed into my eyes. Because I thought of something.
Two weeks will give me enough time to raise my strength by leaps and bounds. Forget about the top 10, I will challenge 4th rank wizard Frank Lambert after two weeks.
Then after getting advice from him, I decided to see the fatty again before leaving the school.
