Chapter 163
"I'm disappointed . " That was the first thing the headmistress said when we entered the office . "To think that a fight between students almost ended in a fight between the leaders of the three committees . Is it a joke?"
Everybody fell silent . Even Alan did not dare to say anything facing the headmistress's rebuke .
But the headmistress did not seem satisfied with that . "Alan, do you think this is the palace?"
"Headmistress, I–"
"Shut up!" Headmistress Evelyn bellowed and hit her desk . "Are you not ashamed enough with the behavior of the members of the clubs committee?!"
Alan lowered his head .
"Not only they started a fight, but they also tried to threaten Katherine! Is that like the clubs committee does things!?
"Even you threatened Katherine to release the hostages . Do you think this is the palace where you can do everything you want simply because you are the prince? Let me tell you, this is the institute, MY institute! If you want to show your superiority as a prince, then get lost out of here!"
Woah, hearing Evelyn scolding Alan sure is refreshing .
Alan gritted his teeth in rage . He could feel the laughter and jeering coming from me and Dina .
But although he was a prince, he did not dare to offend a beyond-twelfth layer powerhouse . Furthermore, Evelyn was also the headmistress of the imperial institute . Her power and connections were in par with the three great noble houses .
If Alan says something wrong now and makes the headmistress dissatisfied with him, she will have a powerful faction opposing him . By then, things will be unsalvageable .
After seeing that Alan did not dare to defend himself, Evelyn calmed down . She then gave me a stealthy wink as though asking me if I was happy with her performance .
To be honest, I was more than happy seeing Alan being scolded and unable to retaliate .
I'm sure that Dina and Katherine were as happy as me .
Well, the noble students were rather pale . They were probably wondering if Alan would silence them to hide this humiliation .
Even Iris was trembling a bit .
After she finished her round of scolding, Evelyn called the students involved in the fight .
"Explain, what happened?" She stared at the commoner .
The commoner gulped down and forced himself to talk .
"H-Headmistress, I heard them talking about killing the c-commoners students yesterday… They w-were talking behind a building and I h-heard them coincidentally . T-This morning, Ash appeared dead… Headmistress, Ash, was my friend! I hope you can make him justice!"
"We don't kill him!" One of the noble students shouted in panic . "Headmistress, we don't kill anyone! Even if we don't like them, we don't dare to cause trouble in the academy!"
"Is it so?" Evelyn narrowed her eyes . "But you attacked him in the cafeteria, and I'm pretty sure you were serious… Maybe you were trying to hide something?"
The nobles were frozen in fear .
Evelyn stood up from her chair and walked towards the students . "You see, one student died last night, and we don't have any clue about the killer… To me, you lot seem very suspicious…"
"Headmistress, please!" One of the students cried . "The words of a dog doesn't mean anything!"
"Dog?" Evelyn stopped abruptly and looked at the student that spoke . "You called a student 'dog' in MY presence?"
"I-I-I, hea–"
"Shut up!"
Instantly, the office was filled with Evelyn's overwhelming pressure .
The student turned pale . He felt his body turning heavy and his bones cracking from the pressure . Even although the headmistress did not injure him, the pain was unimaginable .
