BXBX NOVEL Chapter 533
“The moment Jun Ye Rim burst into tears and lifted her blouse as if she was threatened not to tell anyone what was happening to her, my eyes couldn’t believe a woman who doesn’t have enemies nor is a fighter to have a deep purple fist-sized bruise.”
“I...”
*Sigh* “I knew I had to act like a righteous man and deliver justice while warning the aggressors what happens when they touch her again. Now I only hope they will not act like babies and tell their parents about their defeat which started from their thug-like behavior.”
Vincent secretly smirked while glancing at the audience, perking their ears with interest. He facepalmed and shook his head. *Sigh* “And here I thought I could learn to be an honorable noble and stop being called a commoner that married into nobility. I do only hope for one thing. I hope that not all nobles act worse than commoner thugs.”
[I would clap if I had hands. Your great acting is making the majority of the students frown. Thank goodness Jun Ye Rim isn’t here, or she might ruin the plan to attract sympathy and favorable rumors.]
-I only hope Jun Ye Rim will not keep hearing her name said backward. Even if it sounds nice, the intention is malicious.-
[I agree.]
Vincent peeked at both sides to see what Kazumi was seeing. He felt reassured the plan was working.
.....
‘At least we have a head start on letting everyone know the version of our story before it gets twisted.’ Vincent thought.
After the students noticed Vincent wasn’t going to continue as if he was done responding, the students started to disperse. They went to tell everyone what they saw and heard.
Fortunately, Vincent used a risky, never to have been used before trick, which caused two fire balls to explode with the use of an item. Additionally, thanks to the vast nobles’ ego, the rumors weren’t going to make Vincent appear to be a very strong person since a trick achieved the win.
Melissa looked a bit pale while trying to hide the fact she had gone on a few dates with them. She urgently felt the need for more answers.
Melissa approached Maria talking with Biro and Ton and asked while interrupting their conversation, “Was Jun Ye Rim really injured? If it is true... then was it all the members of team five?”
The three of them looked at Melissa.
Ton answered, “I don’t think Vincent would lie about such matters. After spending so much time with Vincent and learning how he seeks improvement instead of trouble, I honestly think his reasons are true.”
Biro answered, “If you add what happened today with the strange rumors about someone named Mirey, you would see Vincent’s words are true rather than false.”
Biro placed his hand on Melissa’s shoulder and continued, “I hope you knew that Mirey spelled backwords is Ye Rim. The same Jun Ye Rim with an unbelievable rumor of sleeping with students that no one knows who they are because she sucks their soul or whatever these crazy rumors are leading innocent students to believe.”
Maira answered, *Sigh* “As teacher Biro said about how idiotic the rumors are, I never expected the brats of this academy to believe such lies.” *Sigh* “I am already imagining your father blaming me for not teaching the brats of this academy...” *Sigh* “How can I teach those that take more interest in fairy tales rather than training.”
“Furthermore, your father already knows about Jun Ye Rim’s injury because I saw it and I told him about the harassment. Teacher Darwin was secretly taking care of it before Vincent decided to reveal the truth and make more nobles his enemies.” Maria honestly continued.
The students that remained for more possible information managed to hear the confirmation that Jun Ye Rim was really beaten by team five, and Vincent’s actions are more respectable than problematic.
Many things were going to happen while team five took a short vacation in the infirmary. On the day they leave the infirmary, it would be the day they feel like living in a new world. Living in Nick’s world of infamy.
*Buzz, buzz*
Biro, Ton, Maria, and Vincent’s academy cards notified them to visit the headmaster’s office immediately. The four of them sighed before leaving.
Later, when the four of them entered Darwin’s office, they saw Darwin massaging his temple as if he had a painful headache. He grunted and pointed with a slight nod to sit on the four chairs prepared in front of his desk.
“Can I receive an explanation of what happened?” Darwin glanced at Biro and continued, “I didn’t expect this from you, duke.”
“I recently learned how there was something wrong with Vincent’s team, but I didn’t think it escalated to having his teammate assaulted. When I saw the fire in Vincent’s eyes as he requested to teach some students a lesson...” Biro paused for a moment and grinned. “I wanted the students to understand why I am teaching in the academy.”
Biro looked at Darwin and warned casually, “It means if Vincent would ever get expelled, I will leave the academy with my disciple Oliveros.”
*Sigh* Darwin massaged his temple because Biro was making his headache become worse. “Duke Biro Hawkins, what will I tell their parents?”
*Tsk* “Tell them not to raise brats who beat women.” Maria said out of anger.
Ton felt it was better to make Darwin understand that this can become a simple matter, Darwin, as the headmaster, decides to ignore what happened.
“Please, headmaster Darwin, there is no need to turn this into a big deal. The bullies got hurt, and now they are going to get healed by the medical staff. Their tarnished reputation is simply karma.” Ton said.
Darwin glanced at Vincent and asked, “And what about you, Vincent? I didn’t think you were going to keep causing trouble. We are only halfway to the six-month academic year. How much more trouble do I have to expect and prepare beforehand before the last day of your first year?”
[This is a very difficult question. I do not know how to help you with this tricky question because we have possibly invited more trouble by taking revenge.]
“Does headmaster Darwin want to know the truth?” Asked Vincent.
[Wait. Don’t tell me...]
“Truth?”
“I think Melissa Griffinheart is involved in some trouble with my violent team five classmates. Jun Ye Rim said how she was going to the library when she overheard Melissa’s name. Jun Ye Rim looked at them, and they glared at her. It appears they believe she knows of something which she didn’t hear.”
“So let me get this straight. You want me to question your classmates and my daughter? Correct?”
“Yes. That would be the quickest way to learn about the truth.” Vincent responded without showing any signs of hesitation.
“Headmaster Darwin, if I may ask, is it true you knew of student Jun Ye Rim’s injury?” Asked Ton.
“Yes. Maria told me, and I trust her more than I trust my troublesome daughter.” Darwin surprisingly responded. This response caught even Maria off guard.
Biro stood up. “Then that settles it, headmaster. If I receive another request, I will be sure to call the medical staff before the match begins.”
“But...” Was all Darwin could say while watching Biro leave the office.
Ton saw the opportunity to leave. “I hope the headmaster finds the truth and lets Vincent keep learning. He is the best student we have.”
Vincent felt a gaze peeking at him. He quickly understood Darwin was checking his status.
“Vincent sure is. Even if he keeps taking the banned Bloody Heart Pump potion without any side effects.” Darwin said while looking at Vincent.
“...” Darwin became speechless when Ton escaped the office while he was watching Vincent’s stats. Now only Maira and Vincent remained in front of Darwin.
*Sigh* “I will not expel you for now. But remember it might happen if you do something outrageous again.” Darwin massaged his temple and continued, “You two may leave. Leave their parents’ complaints to me. I will see what I can do to diffuse the situation like the previous one.”
Maria and Vincent took this opportunity to leave the headmaster’s office, leaving Darwin alone in his office to take care of the situation.
Darwin massaged his temple and started talking to himself.
*Sigh* “I barely managed to fix the previous situation regarding the Blackheart family. Now I hope I can find all the necessary information and evidence to shut their parents’ mouths.”
*Sigh* “But what did my daughter get involved with now? The last time Vincent managed to save her life. Now I hope no similar situation will occur. I better tell her maid to start asking about my daughter’s day. Maybe I can figure out how this new mess happened.”
Darwin grabbed a key and opened a locked desk drawer. He pulled out a bottle of wine and a glass. “Five more noble families will be against Lionheart family now.” *Gulp* “What a fearless lion indeed.” *Gulp*
That day, Darwin sent a message to all his loyal staff members to secretly investigate and report what they found about today’s eventful day. Afterward, Darwin drank himself to sleep in his office and was later taken home by his loyal staff members.
*Team Ten Island*
Vincent returned to deliver the good news. He wasn’t going to get expelled for now, and Darwin would look into this matter.
This meant the situation could resolve itself or worsen depending on how humiliated team five will be after they heard rumors about them.
