Chapter 213: Did You Kill Logan? (1/2)
Before long, they arrived inside the classroom.
Instantly, the moment Lawrend entered, the students in the class started staring at him one by one.
Humility was already inside the classroom. She went on ahead to avoid suspicions.
His classmates started whispering into each other's ears.
”Hey, did you hear? Logan Herul died in their special mission. They said he suddenly went missing. Logan's brother didn't believe the instructor's report. He claimed that Lawrend and Nuon killed Logan.” A male student whispered to a female student.
”What..? He's a killer—!” The female student's eyes turned to fear as she stared at Lawrend.
”Shh! Don't let him hear you!” The male student stopped her.
”...”
Lawrend pretended like he didn't just do that. His senses got stronger after he became a High Mage. Consequently, he remembered more of his memories from his past life.
”Lawrend, good morning,” Humility greeted.
”Good morning,” Lawrend replied with a smile.
The two of them had the understanding that they should keep their adult life hidden from their student life.
The students around Lawrend sneakily avoided him like the plague.
”...”
Even Levin and Johan, who was acquainted with Lawrend, didn't dare to look him straight in the eyes.
”Don't worry, Lawrend. They will know the truth once Mr. White arrives,” Humility said to him in reassurance.
”I don't really care what they think. The truth will come to light anyway,” Lawrend replied.
Though, his words had double meanings. After all, he really killed Logan.
”Yes. They will know that you didn't kill Logan.”
They waited for a few more minutes before June arrived in the classroom.
”Good morning, class. Today I have an important announcement to make,” June said loudly.
”Lawrend,” he called out.
”Yes, Mr. White?” Lawrend responded as he stood up.
”The academy has already decided to give the green light for you to become a Third-Year student. You can become one anytime you want since you still want to study Second-Year.”
”Thank you, Mr. White.” Lawrend bowed to him respectfully.
”What?”
The gossipy students had shocked expressions on their faces. They didn't expect this outcome. They thought that Lawrend would be expelled from the academy for killing Logan.
”It seems like Logan's older brother is just spouting nonsense.”
”Yeah. I even thought he was believable because he's our senior. I was wrong.”
The students gossiped with each other.
”Hmph,” Humility harrumphed hearing their discussions. She felt satisfied that they were given a slap in the face for believing such an obvious lie.
”Also, the Purple Thunder Grand Mage wants to see you right now,” June said.
”I understand.”
Lawrend walked towards the front of the class.
”Humility, can you bring him to the Magic Research Laboratory?” June asked.
”Yes, Mr. White. I can,” Humility responded.
”Good. Please guide the way. You're the only one here who knows the way there, after all.”
Thus, Humility brought Lawrend outside of the classroom.
”Humility, what's the Magic Research Laboratory?” Lawrend asked in curiosity.
