Chapter 202: Interrogation room (a) (2/2)
Is that why they weren't able to see the ugliness and foolishness of their community?!
”Silence, for god sake, all of you!” Leonardo said loudly and slammed his hand on the table, causing it to break in half and a shockwave to spread out from the point of impact that shook the tablecloths and also the interrogators.
His sudden outburst successfully silenced the others. Without letting them speak, he turned towards the six and said, ”I wouldn't have believed you, but since it's someone I know and also somewhat admire, I have no reasons not to believe. After all, if it's him, then he can make the impossible possible.”
The six youngsters raised their heads to look at him with a pleasantly surprised expression on their faces.
”Bullshit!” The young master of the Regis family immediately stood up to go against Leonardo. ”How can you even believe something so unbelievable? Had a donkey kicked your head, causing you to go crazy, Little brother?!”
He had only said these taunting words when the pressures of the four elders that accompanied the academy's student fell on him, making him feel suppressed and unable to say even a single word.
Regis had to discharge his own magic energy to save himself from the embarrassment of having his bones shattered into pieces in front of many people.
”How dare you?” The people around Regis's family young master could tell that he had been attacked and their white beards immediately flew up in rage.
”Why wouldn't we dare?” The four elders of the academy were itching to face slap these bitches back to their mother's bosom, and they expressed their intent to battle by releasing their pressures—unbridled and unrestrained they were. All the tables shattered, the ground cracked, and the powerful elders of the Regis family who were at the magic grandmaster fell to their knees. Only Magic Lords were able to stay upright but only because they were countering the pressure by discharging energy.
”Lords of Magic? No! This pressure can only belong to the Kings of Magic!”
Only now did the young master of the Regis family and the others realized that the pale and sickly-looking old men with hunched backs were far powerful than their imagination.
Before the situation could escalate, though, instructor Leonardo raised one of his hands, signaling them to dispel their pressure and compose themselves. His hand held a token, one with two wings. Immediately after seeing which, the elder huffed and took back their pressure. The others were surprised to see that the magic kings listened to the words of someone weaker than themselves, but they didn't say a word.
Instructor Leonardo also looked at the Regis family young master and said, ”What if everything they had just said was the truth. What if there's not a single lie in it? If It really happened, just like they said, that the Return Scrolls lost their effect until Elliot saved them all by fighting off a thousand serpentine devils, then what are you going to do?”
”Impossible!” The young master of the Regis family screeched in anger and slammed the table in frustration, breaking the poor guy in two. He was a powerful magician, himself, and was also the soon-to-be head of the Regis family, so one can tell that he was prideful to the bones, and he wasn't going to let any Tom, dick, and harry lecture him.
”Why is it so hard to believe their words? They barely escaped with their lives, but most of those who went inside had already died—didn't their life tablets shatter? Moreover, the rest are dying! People are dying inside, desperately waiting to be helped. Can you take responsibility for their death? Can you?!” Instructor Leonardo's eyes turned sharp and he glared at him.
He felt as if a beast from the desolate era was glaring at him and sweat subconsciously broke out on his forehead.
”Where's the proof?” He said after a moment. ”Don't tell me that we should just believe whatever they told us without a second thought? You want us to, but we are not easy to push around, little brother. There's no way any of us here is going to believe in something straight out of a children's fairytale—only a retarded bastard would!”
