61 Idio (2/2)
”Amazing, this makes me reminisce my childhood.” The administrator whistled, satisfaction all over his face. ”Group fights are a part of learning too.”
But then came a sound that changed everything.
Someone was communicating with the aether and chanting runes!
”This is…getting big.” Shock flashed past the administrator’s eyes.

The mess in the classroom was still chaotic.
No one noticed that Edmund had climbed up. With difficulty he stood up, supported by the wall. He glared at Ye Qingxuan’s backside with his swollen eyes full of murderous intent.
”You d*mned…street scum!” He spat out a broken tooth, his bruised face full of hate. ”You angered me first!”
Opening his mouth, he began chanting a standard note. The obscure voice was like icicles bumping into each other. They overlapped in the air and turned into the crisp shattering of porcelain.
The first to react was Charles. He turned around in shock and stared in Edmund’s direction.
He knew this string of standard notes. The melody was the sign of the School of Modification’s standard rune Frost!
Unlike the other schools, even the most basic of Modification runes were unbelievably powerful. Extraction was targeted toward metals. If it was placed on a human, it could deplete half of one’s body’s liquid in an instant. Frost was targeted at temperature, and if modified onto one’s limbs, it would turn into assassin’s favorite technique: Frozen Touch.
Just a touch was enough to kill a large area of skin cells. If it reached a vital organ…the consequences were frightening.
But the short chant was already over. He did not even have the chance to interrupt it.
There seemed to be sunlight on Edmund’s hand, radiating coldness, as if he had a thin silk glove on. The designs on the layers of frost were chilling.
”Use your next life to repent!” he growled and charged toward Ye Qingxuan, his hand raised toward his face.
Ye Qingxuan turned around and saw Edmund’s fierce expression. He suddenly understood something and could not help but laugh.
”Idiot…” In that last moment, he sighed, ”Idiot!” Banner, observing coldly from the side, could not help but mutter, ”Idiot.”
Above the classroom, the administrator laughed while clutching his belly.

Under everyone’s shocked eyes, the Frozen Touch covered Ye Qingxuan’s face. The entangled frost designs glowed immediately.
In the silence, someone yelped, afraid to watch.
But Edmund froze. Because the aether suddenly disappeared in that moment!
He looked at his hand in shock, not understanding what had happened. He saw that familiar gray brick appear in his vision again.
It grew bigger, bigger and bigger…Bang!
With a wild roundabout, a broken piece of brick flew at Edmund and crashed onto the floor.
In the suffocating silence, Ye Qingxuan tossed the other half of the brick. Shaking his head, he sighed.
”The entire academy is enveloped with Requiem. Other than special practice rooms, not even Resonance Musicians have the power to make any effect. This is clearly said clearly in the student handbook. Why don’t you read it?”
”Kill him! Kill him!” Humiliated, Edmund lay on the ground, screaming in a choked voice. ”Kill him! Why aren’t you moving…The Rossi family won’t let you get away with this! My brother won’t let you get away with this!”
Ye Qingxuan froze. ”You mean there are more idiots like you?”
”You wanna die?!” Edmund tried to crawl over and tackle him in anger.
”Enough!” Ben roared outside the door.
The chaotic classroom fell silent instantly. Everyone stopped reflexively and turned to see the angry Ben, feeling unsettled.
”Someone come take Edmund to the doctor’s office.” Ben looked at the youth on the floor, and commanded a few students to take him away.
Looking at the blood on the floor, he glared at Ye Qingxuan. ”Such a young age and already so cruel to your classmate. How did you pass the character test?”
