"Hmm? Is Myrill still not back yet?" Teacher Evane questioned with a frown as he looked around the class.
She has seen his injury, it shouldn't take more than 3-4 days for him to fully recover, even if he wanted to rest a little, it has already been more than a week.
Shouldn't he come back to the class now?
"Heh. He must be too ashamed to come back." A student commented.
"Indeed, he was beaten up pretty badly after all."
"Heh, losing after being the first one to attack, that is quite shameful."
"Indeed, no matter how much I hate this Nux bastard, I am always grateful since he got rid of a nuisance like Myrill."
"Indeed."
The students then turned around, however, they then noticed that rather than listening there talk, Nux was talking with a few girls, completely ignoring what was going on in the class.
"Actually… I take my words back, this bastard is much more hateful than Myrill." A boy muttered as he glanced at Nux with hatred.
"Indeed. Indeed."
The rest of the students nodded.
Noticing that another commotion has started because of her question, Evane decided to change the topic.
Whether Myrill attends the class or not depends on him.
It shouldn't concern her.
"Alright, everyone, stop talking, we will start our class now." She muttered and gained the attention of the rest of the students.
However, before she could start the class,
*Bam*
The doors of her classroom were kicked open by a blue-haired girl.
Seeing the girl, Evane frowned and questioned in a stern tone,
"Candice Water, what are you doing here? Is that a way one should enter a classroom, also, can't you see that I am teaching right now?"
Candice, however, completely ignored Evane's words and pointed at Nux,
"Is he the one who attacked you?" She questioned.
"Y-Yes! He is the one! He attacked me and my friends for no reason and even took my storage ring!"
A 15-year-old student complained as his face turned pale in fear when he saw Nux's face, behind him, two more students of the same age were standing.
"You bastard! You dare attack my little brother!?"
Another angry voice was heard, the class then saw Myrill walking into the class with an angry look on his face.
"Nux Leander, who gave you the galls to attack the student of this academy?" Candice questioned as she narrowed her eyes in a threatening way.
'Oh ho? Would you look at them go~'
A small smile appeared on Nux's face when he saw what was happening.
Just like the doctor said, Oswald woke up today, of course, many would have questioned who attacked him so brutely and he would have described his face.
There is no way Myrill wouldn't recognize him right away. And he must have already told everything to Candice Water.
Then why was she acting so surprised? Why come here to confirm when they already knew who was behind it?
Well, the reason was simple, they wanted to target him.
In front of all the students.
Of course, Nux had already predicted it.
He was actually happy that everything was going exactly like it should be going.
"Candice, what is the meaning of it? How can you blame my student again?" Evane stepped in, trying to protect Nux.
However, this time, Candice was prepared.
"Huh? I am trying to blame your student? Teacher Evane, I know you favour Nux very much, so much that even after he attacked Myrill, you took his side, but are you seriously going to allow Nux to continue to bully other students in the academy?
I also heard that you allowed him to live in the room next to you in the Teacher's Abode.
Teacher Evane, Nux is merely a commoner, someone who should have no relationship with you, then why are you going to such a length to protect him?
I heard that you were an honest and upright teacher, then why, wait…"
Suddenly, Candice acted like she realized something and questioned,
"Teacher Evane, you do not have any sort of unspeakable relationship with Nux Leander, a commoner, correct?"
"What the hell are you talking about!?"
Evane retorted in anger when she heard what Candice was talking about.
"How dare you slander a teacher!?"
She couldn't believe Candice said something like this.
However, Candice only smiled at her outburst,
"That is the only logical conclusion I can come up with, after all, a 15-year-old student says that he was attacked by Nux.
Alright, let's leave this topic, you want proof right? I will give you one, I brought a witness he-"
"I do not need any proof."
Evane muttered.
"Huh?" Candice frowned.
Evane then suppressed her anger and turned towards Nux.
"Nux, you answer me, did you attack this student?"
"Huh!? Why are you asking him!? He, of course, would never accept it!
Was my conjecture all true!? Do you two really have some sort of unspeakable relationship with each other!?"
Candice questioned loudly.
Evane, however, just clenched her fist and tried to ignore Candice's words.
She needed an answer from Nux.
"Yes, teacher Evane, I did attack this student, not only that, I even attacked his friends."
"What?" Evane's eyes widened in surprise.
"See? I told you he would never adm- Huh?" Even Candice was surprised, however, soon, an evil smile appeared on her face and she shouted.
"See! I told you he was the one behind it! What are you going to say now, Evane!?"
"N-Nux… why did you…" Evane just couldn't believe her ears.
However, instead of answering her, Nux stood up and slowly walked toward Candice.
Then, he walked passed her and observed the students that have come here to see what the commotion was about.
"Heehh? You really brought a lot of students with you, huh… Candice."
Nux commented.
Then, he noticed a familiar figure standing there and waved his hand,
"Manya, how have you been?"
"H-Huh? I-I am fine. W-What about you?" Being pointed out like that, Manya stuttered a little, however, she still managed to answer.
"I am fine as well.
So? Why are you here?" Nux questioned.
"I just saw Lady Manya and noticed that many students were following her, so I tagged along as well."
"Ahh"
Nux nodded in understanding.
He then turned towards Candice and smiled,
"As I expected, you are good at this, aren't you, Candice? But…
Are you sure you want to play it like that?"
"Huh? What do you mean?" Candice frowned.
Nux's smile widened and he shouted,
"You are here, right? Come out."
"Y-Yes big brother…"
Then, an 8-year-old boy walked out of the crowd and Nux smiled,
"Do you recognize him, 'Lady' Candice?"
