Chapter 294: Cardinal Lanchi's Firm and Brave Stand
Chapter 294: Cardinal Lanchi's Firm and Brave Stand
For a moment, Zestira went blank.
Despite how arrogant Lanchi's declaration sounded, coupled with the bounty on his head, it suddenly made sense.
He didn't seem to be joking at all.
After Lanchi's display of strength, almost everyone was convinced that the tens of thousands of points from the commission would end up in his pocket.
This promise was indeed a powerful motivator.
And if any teacher took action now, it would be equivalent to siding with Lanchi.
Or rather, they would all stand with Lanchi, protecting him and ensuring he passed the assessment, so he could use those points to benefit all the teachers in return!
Although he was not officially the principal at the moment, his substantial influence and prestige had already made him the true leader!
"In this way, the school should become a place filled with friendship and harmony, shouldn't it?"
Lanchi gently put down the microphone, walked to the window, and pulled open the curtains, filling the room with light. He gazed contemplatively into the distance and sighed.
With this, his work as a tutor was more or less finished.
Or perhaps a new chapter of work was just beginning.
"..."
Zestira remained silent for a moment, deep in thought.
"Yes," she said.
She felt that her teacher was right.
Garbage belonged in the garbage bin.
Strict management was the most correct way to rule.
"As expected of an ambitious demon tribe girl. Congratulations on your successful learning."
"Thank you, Teacher," she replied.
Listening to the conversation between teacher and student, Mr. Cat felt as if the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.
It wasn't exactly that Zestira had been led astray by him...
She never wanted to be human in the first place...
But today, Mr. Cat finally confirmed it.
This kid had a severe cognitive impairment.
He was the sanest-looking lunatic in the world!
If one didn't follow him closely and observe carefully, they would truly be deceived by his appearance!
...
On the other side of the assessment area, within the cluster of buildings in the central area of the Protoss Royal Magic Academy.
In the huge council hall of the top third-year students, the previously agitated atmosphere suddenly vanished.
In the meeting hall, the group of top students were stunned, their mouths agape, their minds feeling as if they had been struck by a heavy hammer.
Their eyes reflected a mix of unwillingness, resentment, and a hint of dismay.
Lanchi's simple words represented the endgame.
And they had no way to counter it.
"..."
Several students had ashen faces.
At this point, their power and any attempt at interference seemed futile and laughable.
They had been continuously inflicting deadly negative influences on Zestira and her partner, waiting for them to be eliminated in the next round.
However, in just a fleeting moment, the tables had turned, and they were the ones being pushed to the edge of a cliff.
The atmosphere in the meeting hall became suffocating once more, as if the entire space had frozen.
Facing the dramatic changes on the screen, no one dared to voice their comments or thoughts lightly.
No one could predict what would happen next.
Nor did they know what the school would be like after today.
But one thing was certain: no matter the outcome, today's assessment would be the heaviest event in the history of the Protoss Royal Magic Academy.
Additionally, the top students' days of dominance were coming to an end.
The council hall remained deathly silent.
In the following scenes, Lanchi and Zestira had already left the broadcasting room and started patrolling the corridors.
From time to time, one could see the bounty on their heads increase slightly.
There were also teachers who were well-informed and immediately apprehended students who had violated the rules during the first assessment, without resorting to violence. They proactively brought these students before Lanchi to be dealt with.
The captured students had despairing eyes and begged for mercy as tears streamed down their faces.
However, the teacher merely cackled, cracking his knuckles with a sinister smile, before executing them.
As their cries of rapid weakening echoed, Lanchi gently shook his head and then looked up at the classroom ceiling, meeting the gaze of the camera.
It was as if he could transcend time and space, seeing through the screen to the backroom where the top students were, and hearing their voices.
For a moment, even the sound of breathing ceased in the conference room.
Lanchi merely smiled faintly and then averted his gaze as if the moment had passed like smoke.
"..."
That fleeting glance, even though it was casual, gave them the illusion that they weren't sure if they were watching Lanchi from outside the play or if Lanchi was watching them from outside the play.
Lanchi patted the teacher's shoulder and continued his inspection within the school.
"Is this really our Protoss Royal Magic Academy?"
The scene that seemed like it could only exist in a nightmare had become a reality.
The once-confident top students' breathing became rapid and irregular in an instant.
What kind of school is this? Even though they were still in an absolutely safe viewing position, they felt even more afraid.
It was as if they were being warned as a deterrent, forcing them to sit here and watch.
"...Isn't he afraid of retaliation?"
Finally,
One of the top students spoke up.
His hands clenched into fists unconsciously, his fingernails digging deeply into his palms, a hint of malice in his eyes.
Since they had already offended him, it was better to resist to the end than to submit.
Daring to offend so many people, there must be a way to make him disappear from the imperial capital, Helrom!
"... "
The others looked at him but remained silent.
"... Can you be more ruthless than the Church of Resurrection's Extinction Branch?"
"... "
If one really thought about it carefully.
If they were to truly resort to underhanded means to get rid of someone.
The highest-level service one could procure was from the Church of Resurrection's Extinction Branch, commissioning them for the task.
However, the facts proved that—
Even the Extinction Branch was unwilling to touch this person! While there were indeed people who had caused the Extinction Branch to suffer losses, most of them met terrible ends.
And the only person to ever make this group of terrorists willingly swallow their losses without any retaliation was Rocky McCassy.
Hearing this, his face turned as dark as a pot.
"Don't you feel disgusted, Cloris?"
The most arrogant second seat was still trying to pull in one last person who might be able to deal with Rocky McCassy.
This duchess, known as a genius that only appeared once in a century, was not on the same level as them.
And she had suffered the most damage.
"Do you know why I've never been absent on monthly assessment days even though I find them boring?"
Cloris asked softly with a hint of mockery.
Silence fell.
To her, the credits from the monthly assessments were insignificant.
"Why?"
The second seat asked again.
"Because I'm not like you. I've never taken the school rules lightly."
Cloris seemed to have finally finished her work and stood up, the shadows that had cloaked her as she sat with her back to the light in the council chamber faded, and the natural light fell on her simple hunting-style dress.
She walked alone, leaving the council chamber with a smile on her lips.
It was time to find Associate Professor Cid and discuss working with Rocky. This young man should have a chance to showcase his talents on a bigger stage.
