059 Dekan Never Goes Easy on Humiliating Others
At this moment, a growing number of students were gathering at the classroom door.
A large part of the reason was the sudden appearance of Dekan and Cornelia.
When two seemingly unrelated events meet, it usually means something big is about to happen.
Dekan didn’t move closer to the door.
He merely stood aside outside, continuing to listen to the situation inside the classroom.
Inside the classroom.
“You didn’t waste any time approaching the popular newcomers, just as expected.”
Flata’s voice was full of mockery.
He, along with his two lackeys, surrounded Chloix’s desk.
They blocked Chloix’s escape route.
He could only helplessly say, “I’ve already told you, he came to me.”
“Ho ho, what a monumental joke. If you hadn’t shamelessly gone to Dekan, how could he have come to you, a calamity like yourself?”
Chloix lowered his head, seemingly unwilling to explain further.
It was probably because a few days ago, when Dekan came to see him, they had a long conversation by the door, and passing students saw it.
Thus, Flata found out about it.
“Do you want to get him killed, Chloix?”
Flata lightly tapped Chloix’s desk, trying to draw his attention, making him look up.
“No, I will not team up with him.”
Chloix clenched his fists on the table and gritted his teeth as he said this.
“There are no suitable teammates for you among the seniors, and you can’t even get the strongest among the newcomers. So why are you still lingering in the Mage Academy? Are you waiting for some more fools to cause another catastrophe?”
“I…I will quietly fulfill my credits and will not enter the Shadow World anymore…”
“So be it. That’s your word. Swear it to all of us.”
Flata laughed heartily, as if he had finally achieved a worthy goal.
He glanced at Claire still seated at the back of the classroom, with an air of accomplishment.
But Claire just averted her gaze with some disgust.
Her expression was cold, with a hint of anger between her brows.
But soon, she looked at the back of Chloix’s bowed head with a look of disappointment in his lack of ambition.
“…”
“I see.”
After a long while, it seemed Chloix had finally come to some conclusion.
At this moment, his expression was no longer bitter; instead, it showed a touch of relief.
Indeed, he should let go.
If he continued hesitating like this, maybe one day he would give in and foolishly agree to Dekan’s request, causing a repeat of a tragedy.
And he would end up killing this kind-hearted junior.
That’s what he thought.
Therefore, he slowly raised his hand.
“I, Chloix Kurran, swear that I will not……”
Just as Chloix was about to take the oath.
Dekan finally strode into the classroom, causing an uproar.
“God, it really is Dekan who approached Chloix, isn’t it?”
“Seems so. After all, Dekan has even come to the classroom, showing a lot of concern for Chloix.”
“Then Flata must be a little awkward…”
Amidst the chatter of the students in the classroom, Dekan walked straight to Chloix’s side.
He grabbed Chloix’s forearm and pressed it down on the table.
“De…”
Before Chloix could finish the word, Dekan, with a beaming smile, looked at Flata and said:
“He’s right, I approached him. Moreover, he’s already agreed to join our team. You can’t make him take this oath.”
Upon hearing this,
Whether it was the students munching on popcorn inside the classroom or the large crowd of Mage Academy students gathered outside,
Everyone erupted in shock.
“Ho.”
Flata, after a brief moment of surprise, let out a cold laugh and shook his head.
His expression seemed as if he was thinking of some preposterous joke.
He didn’t spend much time looking at Dekan, instead, full of mockery, he asked Chloix:
“Chloix, you’re quite despicable indeed. You hid your own curse and wanted to join their team, eh? If I tell Dekan right now about your curse, do you want to guess what his reaction will be?”
“…”
Chloix bit his lip.
Indeed, he hadn’t told Dekan about his curse.
But he also hadn’t agreed to join Dekan’s team.
“Team up” was Dekan’s presumptuous statement.
If Flata revealed the truth,
Both he and Dekan would be in an awkward situation.
Just as Chloix was about to say something,
“Huh? Isn’t it just a curse that makes the Shadow World difficult?”
Dekan, pretending to be confused, scratched his head and asked.
Flata: “…”
Chloix: “…”
Flata seemed a little flustered, coughed lightly twice, and said,
“You probably don’t know how strong his curse is. It’s a terrible calamity that can almost directly increase the difficulty of the Shadow World by one rank.”
“Only one rank?”
Dekan looked at Flata with utter disdain.
It’s like he was looking at an idiot.
I jump two ranks and it’s like going on vacation, so jumping one rank is more like a luxurious tour?
“You…”
Flata’s haughty expression seemed to freeze for a moment.
He wanted to ask if Dekan was here to cause trouble.
But then he remembered, last time in the Demon Academy, this guy indeed treated a two-rank jump like stepping on it.
Impossible to refute.
So Flata could only say,
“You probably don’t realize how terrifying one rank difference can be in the higher-level Shadow Worlds. You haven’t thought through how the teammate’s suffering might become unbearable when his curse is added.”
“Of course, I have thoroughly thought through it. Isn’t what Chloix owns the most benevolent attribute in the world?”
Dekan’s words forced Flata to silence again.
Even Chloix felt a touch of embarrassment to say anything.
Many of the onlookers winced at the corners of their eyes.
The four words “most benevolent” sounded strange coming out of Dekan’s mouth.
Some people have probably realized why Dekan favored Chloix so much.
What he favored was not the healing capability of Chloix, but the poison milk that no matter how cruelly tortured the enemies would not kill them!
“You!”
Flata was finally provoked by Dekan.
He forced down his anger, took a deep breath, and asked,
“So you’re going to defend him, huh? Mr. Dekan?”
Upon hearing this, Dekan’s face still maintained a calm and composed smile.
“I always love peace and have a kind heart.”
Dekan’s tone was very mild and gentle.
He paused for a moment and continued,
“But if someone bullies my friend, I can be deeply heartbroken.”
When mentioning the words “deeply heartbroken,” Dekan’s tone seemed to have increased slightly.
This made many people instinctively cover their chests.
Dekan’s heartbreak was quite fatal.
That “60x Heartbreak Attack” was far too evil.
At this point, even Flata, who had always been full of himself, couldn’t hide the intense apprehension on his face.
Flata, in a righteous tone, said, “Private battles aren’t allowed in the school!”
Dekan: “Of course. I just said I would be heartbroken, nothing else.”
Are you fooling around!
Would you put away that devilish smile first?!
Flata couldn’t help but roar internally.
