"Are you talking about the incident where Myrill tried to attack me and was then got thrashed by me?"
Nux questioned with a small smile on his face.
Candice narrowed her eyes and questioned,
"Are you admitting that you are the one behind it?"
"Hmm? Of course not, I was merely defending myself." Nux answered.
"Oh? You were just defending yourself, then how did Myrill end up with a Medic?"
"Because he was weak? I mean, we two fought each other, it is obvious that the weaker one would end up in the care of a medic, is it not?"
"So you are admitting that you fought against Myrill?" A small smile appeared on Candice's face as she questioned.
"Why? You think I was in the wrong?" Nux questioned back.
"You not only fought against your classmate, you even dared to use a Skill inside the classroom and gravely injure your classmate. Of course, you are in the wrong."
"Hmm hmm," Nux nodded and then questioned again.
"So you think I am wrong and I should be punished? Is that correct?"
"Yes, you gravely injured your classmate, so you should be punished. According to me, you should be expelled from the academy for breaking the rules, however, before that, you should be forced to pay for all the medical fees that will be required for Myrill's treatment.
Of course, I know that you are just a commoner and can't pay that astronomical amount of money, so I suggest you take a loan."
"Ahh, so you want me to take a loan and then pay for it for the rest of my life?"
"That should be the least you should do after doing something so horrible." Candice nodded. Her idealistic way of thinking was indeed a little... messed up.
"So, let me get this clear, you think that I was the one who was wrong, and you are here to serve justice?"
"Yes, that is correct."
Candice nodded.
Then, a small smile appeared on Nux's face as he commented,
"I didn't know students of the Academy are smarter and more knowledgeable than the teachers."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Candice questioned.
"Do you not realize it yet?" Nux questioned.
"What?"
"Why do you think I am still here in the academy after 'breaking a rule'?
This is because the Teacher who was in charge of our classroom didn't think that I was wrong." Nux questioned and then answered at the same time.
Then, his smile widened and he questioned again,
"So? Candice Water, do you think that my Teacher's decision was wrong?
Do you think that my teacher is a fool who cannot distinguish between right and wrong?"
"…"
Candice frowned.
"That is not what I meant…" She muttered.
"Oh? Then can you explain what you meant, Candice Water? Because from what I deduce, I can tell that you do not approve of my decision at all."
Candice's eyes widened in surprise when she heard another voice behind her back.
She then turned around and saw Teacher Evane standing at the door looking at her with narrowed eyes.
"T-Teacher Evane… t-that is not what I meant…"
Nux smiled.
Heh, he wasn't wasting all that time without any reason, he was waiting for Teacher Evane to come and protect him.
He can't show all his cards here after all.
"Mhm, then please explain what you meant, Candice Water."
Teacher Evane smiled however then, her eyes turned cold.
"You have the audacity to enter my classroom and then blame my student for something that he had not done.
Who do you think you are!?"
"…"
The whole class turned silent.
This was the first time they had seen Teacher Evane being this angry in the last 6-7 years.
"T-Teacher E-Evane…"
"What?"
"I-I was just here s-since I felt like…"
"Since you felt like what? That my decision was wrong?"
"N-No. I-I just believe that things could have been done in a better way.
N-Nux Leander did not have to attack Myrill Bourkee, I heard that he easily subdued Myrill, but even after that, he first broke his ankle and then used Fire Burst against him.
I believe that the Academy should take action against him and his violent behaviour."
Candice tried to explain herself.
"Do you even realize what you are talking about?" Teacher Evane narrowed her eyes.
"Myrill Bourkee tried to Kill Nux! How do you expect him to be in a normal mental state after barely surviving like that!?"
"Teacher Evane, we still don't have something that proves that Myrill Bourkee was after Nux Leander's life."
Candice countered.
"Oh? So you have proof proving that Nux was too violent against Myrill, however, you do not have the proof of Myrill using a Fire Burst spell when the two of them were just 10 cm away from each other?"
"I do know that happened, Teacher Evane. But we don't know for sure that that attack would be life-threatening for Nux Leander." Candice countered again.
"So you are telling me that you, a Student who has an affinity with Water Element know more about the Fire Burst Spell than me, a Teacher who has an affinity with Fire Element?" Teacher Evane raised her eyebrow.
"I-I…" Candice had no answers to her questions and she turned silent.
"Candice Water, I do not know who gave you the galls to enter my classroom and do whatever you please, however, know this.
Skyfall Royal Academy is not your playground.
Know your place."
Teacher Evane bellowed in anger.
Candice lowered her head in shame and gritted her teeth in anger.
"Now get out of my class before I kick you out of this academy!" Teacher Evane shouted. She was truly enraged today.
"…"
However, instead of doing what she was ordered, Candice just stood there, motionlessly.
Seeing this, Teacher Evane was even more annoyed.
"Did you not hear what I said!?"
She bellowed in rage.
"…you can't do it."
Suddenly, Candice mumbled.
"What did you say?" Teacher Evane frowned in confusion and questioned.
"I said you cannot do it.
You cannot kick me out of this school, no matter how hard you try.
You do not have the power to do so."
Candice raised her head and glared at Teacher Evane.
