Chapter 11: Aftermath (1/2)

”!!!” Theo widened his eyes when he saw a shadow appear in front of him right before he used his clone to take the hit.

Boom.

The field filled with smoke as all people wondered what happened to Theo. No one from the upperclassmen knew Theo's real strength. Even someone like Alea could only roughly calculate his strength, so there was no telling if he had the skill to block this attack.

Yet, when the smoke was about to be cleared, there were four shadows inside the smoke, and Theo was obviously one of them.

However, the one in front of him, who took all the attacks, was not the instructor or even Alea. Instead, it was the second year, one of Theo's bullies, Sihan Raskaka.

His left hand was holding a kind of sword's handle that seemed to produce a translucent yellow light, forming a five-foot length and two-fold wide rectangular shield.

To his left was the instructor. He looked at Sihan with amazement as he could react faster than him.

To his right was Alea. Instead of glaring at the one who broke the rule, she was even more interested in Theo.

From what she understood, Theo was far weaker than Laust, yet his trick allowed him to fight him on equal ground. However, this raised another concern in her heart as she couldn't help but say, ”You are impressive, but I am afraid that you will have trouble from now on.”

Theo nodded politely, not answering her. Alea came from a wealthy family, the same as Laust. If he said his purpose to her, he was afraid that the word would reach Laust's ears or, even worse, his family. It would become even more troublesome than the current situation.

”Well, good luck. It's not like I can help everyone.” She let out a long sigh.

Theo then turned to Sihan, wondering the reason Sihan helped him.

'Why? This guy often bullied me. Although, at this point, I know that he and Laust are bullying me due to a certain reason, I still don't understand why he protects me.' Theo frowned but still thanked him. ”Senior, thank you for protecting me.”

Sihan turned around and looked down at him. ”You are simply too weak.”

”…” Theo understood that as well, but this was the first time he took one step forward, so he felt a bit offended when someone told him off like that.

Taking a deep breath, he replied. ”Yes. I am aware.”

After hearing his answer, Sihan raised his shield as the yellow light disappeared, turning it into a palm-sized block.

Laust's expression told him that he realized his mistake and decided to return to his own field.

Meanwhile, the instructor furrowed his eyebrows and said, ”Laust Lange. According to the academy rule, you are suspended for three days. Do you want to say something?”

Laust clenched his teeth. He knew that even with connection, it was hard to bail him out in this situation as long as the current country's president had yet to change. He even punished his own son mercilessly, let alone a second-generation like him.

His eyes were everywhere, so the moment he noticed this matter, it would surely blow up. Even if his Lange Family tried to cover the media, it was impossible.

Fighting here would prove to be more detrimental to him, and it would even reach his family's ears. The only escape for him was Theo's change. As much as he hated it, he admitted his mistake while shaking his head. ”No, I do not. I accept the punishment.”

He politely bowed to the instructor and turned around.

Theo couldn't contain his smile when he saw Laust leaving the gym. 'Not only did I gain so much in this battle, but I could also see that Laust gets suspended. He may have the information about the change of my strength, but he doesn't know that I have a God Blessing. They will become more curious, but at the same time, I can do much more things since they won't interfere like how they used to be.'

[God of Mischief likes how you played with the situation.]

Theo took a deep breath before thanking the instructor. ”Thank you for standing up for me, Instructor.”

Rektus patted Theo's shoulder while smiling. ”As long as you are in the school ground, I doubt they will do anything, but your action is your responsibility. I won't do anything to help you outside the school.”

”I understand.”

”Go to the medical office and get your treatment before coming to my class.”

”Yes. I will do so.” When he was about to walk, his shoulder was grabbed by Alea.

The two guys turned to her with a confused expression.

”My friend has a healing ability. I will call her to treat you.” She smiled, looked back, and waved her hand to her friend.
