Chapter 81: Protecting One's Own
"Teacher... teacher..."
"headmaster……"
Looking at the two people with their heads bowed like ostriches.
Catherine sneered, "And I was even planning to come and congratulate you."
"Congratulations on upholding the honor of a magician."
"Instead of hiding in their shells like some magicians."
Cidelina's sarcasm silenced Genius; he pursed his lips, not daring to speak, while Loki also hesitated to open his mouth for a moment.
"Weren't you quite bold just now?" Catherine slowly sat down in her chair, looking at the two standing men, and continued, "Or was it because I interrupted your conversation?"
Thankfully, I had a nightmare today and woke up... otherwise I wouldn't have known such things existed...
Looking at the foolish student who was about to confess and the cowardly vice principal, Catherine felt an overwhelming rage.
Her crimson eyes looked at Genius and she said, "Vice Principal, could you please get out of here first?"
"Can't you leave me and my silly, idiotic, crybaby students some private space?"
"Principal Sylvania... I..."
"Get out," Catherine said coldly, enunciating each word clearly. "You are not worthy to call me by my name."
"..." Genus shuddered, and under the watchful gaze of Cinderella's glowing red eyes, he lowered his head and walked out of the room.
For a moment, only Luo Qixi, who also dared not look up, and Xi Delin, who was coldly watching her, remained in the room.
"Speak," Catherine said calmly, breaking the silence. "Tell me what you plan to do to atone for the murder."
Upon hearing this, Luo Qixi pursed her lips in silence, not daring to say anything for a moment.
Even she could tell... the teacher seemed angry.
"Why did you stop talking?" Cidel asked slowly, sitting down in her chair. "Weren't you having a good talk with Vice Principal Genius just now?"
"They're all preparing to turn themselves in."
"Teacher...no matter what, I killed someone...I shouldn't have..." Before Loki could finish speaking, Cinderella snorted coldly.
Upon hearing that somewhat cold voice, Luo Qixi couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Tell me... what technique did Alexios use back then?"
Cinderella's sudden question startled Loki. After a few seconds of thought, she mumbled, "It's...it's the Blade of Light."
"Hmm." Cidelina continued, "Is he using a training wooden sword?"
No...no.
Sidlin raised an eyebrow expressionlessly: "Then you must be a Water God Sword King, right?"
"Otherwise, how would you have blocked such an attack?" Cinderella said, looking at Loki.
Luo Qixi didn't know how to answer for a moment... Sure... Thinking about it carefully... What the teacher said seemed to make some sense... If she hadn't done that back then... If the Blade of Light had struck, would she really have survived?
I feel... it's probably impossible...
"Since he chose to accept the challenge, he must have known the risks involved," Catherine said, pursing her lips. "You should feel fortunate."
"Otherwise, the only one who has the right to regret it now is that swordsman who speaks without thinking." Although Sidrin's words were cold, they carried a sense of comfort.
She looked at the silent Luo Qixi and shook her head. Had she been using too much water magic, being such a silly student?
It was just killing a foul-mouthed swordsman... Was it really necessary to make such a fuss?
Or is the difference between vampires and other races really that great? Although Cinderella didn't have any particular fondness for killing, even when she did kill someone... she never felt any emotional impact.
There would be no reaction like Luo Qixi's.
They're actually saddened by killing someone who was about to kill them... These non-vampires really are good at being sentimental.
Seeing that Loki was still silent, Cinderella couldn't help but purse her lips.
"Alright," she said slowly, "Go back and rest for a bit."
"Stop looking like this... He's already dead, so there's no need to grieve for him anymore."
"If you don't want to kill anyone, then focus on improving your strength. If you had my abilities... you could decide whether or not to kill someone." Sidlin waved her hand as she spoke, completely unconcerned that this was actually Genus's office.
But after pursing her lips and remaining silent for a few seconds, Loki didn't leave. Instead, she slowly looked at Cinderella.
"Then, teacher... what should we do next?" she asked slowly. "What about Sword God Gar... and the kingdom...?"
"?" Cidelina was taken aback.
"I...I killed the Sword God's disciple, he'll definitely come for revenge...He's one of the seven great powers...I..."
"You don't need to worry," Catherine said calmly. "I will handle this..."
"That's why I'm worried—because you're sure you can handle it, Teacher." Loki couldn't help but look at Cinderella, tears welling in her eyes. "It's because... I don't want... I don't want you to get hurt or anything... that's why..."
"..."
Is that really the case?
This is a bit...unexpected... Looking at Lokishi, who was crying and looking aggrieved, Cinderella's cold heart suddenly felt a little sad.
This guy... this idiot decided to turn himself in because of me?
Cinderella opened her mouth as if to say something, but was momentarily speechless. She looked at Loki, who was crying, and felt a little helpless.
She subconsciously wanted to use the same method as before to stop Luo Qixi from crying... but as she parted her lips, she remembered Luo Qixi's previous reaction.
This still won't work... Sidlin pursed her lips, then slowly said, "You fool."
"It's still unclear whether the Sword God Gar will come knocking..."
"What can the Magic Three Kingdoms say about this?" Cinderella's tone softened considerably, perhaps because of her somewhat chaotic state of mind, or perhaps because of Loki's words.
She said softly, "If they're really worried about the fools from the Sword Sanctuary causing trouble... then let them hide in peace."
"But to be honest... I don't even think Sword God Gar would cause trouble for something like this." Sidrin said, looking at Loki, and walked up to her, gently patting her head.
She was comforting her somewhat foolish student in her own way.
"If he has to cause trouble for every disciple who dies, then he won't need to teach anyone swordsmanship."
"All you need to do is keep looking for people to take revenge," Sidlin said, raising an eyebrow.
Her words made Loki raise her head slightly, looking at Catherine with tears in her eyes, and say, "Really, teacher?"
"Of course it's true."
"Are you...are you sure?"
"Of course, definitely." Cidel said, a slight smile playing on her lips. "If the Sword God Gar really comes... then let him be the headmaster."
"Anyway, as the principal... sometimes my words carry less weight than the vice-principal's, don't they?"
"Cough cough."
Genius, who was standing at the door, coughed slightly and then quickly lifted his ear from the door.
