"Do you see this? I used the weakest water enchantnt and that was his second strongest spell. Student Auequas's mana is only two tis stronger than that of an average commoner. He doesn't have the strength to overpower even another darkness magician, let alone a water magician."
After shaking off the shock that Zoemi's behavior caused, teacher Perserion pointed at the pitiful attendant on the verge of tears and said to the group that accused him.
"Now, Sifra, are you telling that you let yourself be violated by soone so weak? You aren't hurt anywhere, so he clearly didn't actually use his strongest spell on you. With how the evidence is, it is obvious you didn't struggle."
The blue-haired teacher scoffed and she shook her head in disgust.
"Are you telling that you just allow yourself to be deflowered by another man when you are engaged to my little brother? With no struggle whatsoever? Is my family a joke to you...?"
Teacher Perserios's voice was becoming colder and colder.
"T-teacher...! Sifra was scared! You can't bla her, j-just look at him!"
The red-haired girl beca agitated and dropped the broken-hearted attitude.
"You are an to just because I'm ugly! But it's not my fault...! It's his fault! HE MADE LIKE THIS!"
With big fat tears dropping from his lifeless eyes, Zoemi pointed at Grazio before showing off the disfigured right side of his face.
"...!"
"...ugh...!"
The red-haired youth looked away with a troubled expression and the red-haired girl flinched again.
"...is what he said..."
Roakina reached out her hand towards Zoemi while glaring at the blue-haired Sifra and the red-haired Keriul.
"But I saw it! He attacked her! He tore her nightgown...!"
"K-Keriul, n-no..! Stop! Shut up!"
Even after that, Keriul wasn't going to let go of her story at that point - and was pushing through even though Sifra next to her was shaking her head to the sides so violently that her hair was making a whistling noise.
"Oohh... I see..."
Teacher Perserios's eyes beca so fearso that the red-haired girl instantly shut up.
"So, student Helterose, you are saying, that you saw your friend here, getting violated - and haven't even lifted a finger to help her...? You just let that happen? You? The fourth strongest fire magician of your year?"
She furrowed her brows and asked the red-haired girl.
"I-I...!"
That was the mont that Keriul realized the jarring hole in her plan.
"I-I an, Si-Sifra has told – I didn't actually see..."
The red-haired girl's eyes ran to the side as she couldn't et the blue-haired teacher's eyes.
"Teacher, these girls are shaken from the traumatic experience, why are you...?"
Suddenly, Grazio stepped in front of the girls and opened his mouth to defend them.
"Oh? I assure you that the only person going through the traumatic experience here is student Auequas - I just wanted to see how much manure those girls wanted to jump into before I punish them."
"!!!!!!"
Rokiana shrugged her shoulders and Grazio blanked out, not knowing how to respond to that declaration.
"Because - you see, student Victureo - my family is the most important for and my younger brother isn't an exception to that. So, of course, I would check up if his future wife stays safe and - in the first place - is she is worthy of him."
She explained in a calm voice, watching the confusion on Grazio's face.
"That is also why I check up on her almost every night. And yesterday wasn't any different. I saw everything that happened – from the beginning of their encounter to the end."
The blue-haired teacher scoffed and looked at the three girls with disgust.
"And things played out exactly as student Zoemi has said – every other accusation except scaring student Ralia was false."
"!!!"
"!!!"
"!!!"
Rokiana revealed and the three girls huddled together, their faces pale as ghosts', twisted in the caught-in-the-act expressions.
"Huh...? No way...! But I didn't you anywhere, teacher...?"
At that mont, the wobbling Zoemi stumbled forward and asked in a na?ve voice.
"If my spells were easy enough for even a student to see through, I would be long dead."
The blue-haired teacher smirked at him and waved her hand dismissively.
"Student Auequas, don't you have any of that mana potion left?"
She added looking at the black-haired boy with just a tiny amount of pity.
"Yes... I do! Teacher, do you want so?"
Zoemi, with a big dumb smile, plastered all over his face, reached to his pocket and took out one vial of the blue liquid, and started walking towards the blue-haired woman with his hand extended.
"No, thank you. But you should drink it for sure."
Rokiana stopped him with a gesture and advised.
"...hmmm... should I...?"
Zoemi tilted his head in confusion but then he suddenly smiled.
"Okay!"
It was such an innocent smile that even with his scars he seed completely harmless at the mont.
Then, Zoemi slowly raised the vial up to his face and frowned while struggling to open it.
The cork soon gave up and the black-haired attendant managed to drink the vial's content in one go.
"..."
His body shook as if he was splashed with a bucket of cold water - and then hit with the bucket itself too!
"...huh...!?"
With terrified eyes, he looked at the blue-haired teacher, then at the three trembling girls, and finally at Grazio.
Everyone was looking at him weirdly.
He looked at the vial in his hand and then realized his face was wet, so he touched it to identify the source.
|I was crying...!? Why?!|
Zoemi beca stunned and embarrassed at the discovery.
"W-what did I do!? I-I haven't disrespected anyone, have I!?"
"No, don't worry, we just explained this whole misunderstanding. There's no doubt that you're innocent so just return to your class, I need to have a word with your classmates though - inform your teacher that they are with , please."
The black-haired boy beca horrified by the thought of all the possible things that he could have done and say, but the blue-haired teacher just waved her hand and shooed him away.
|It's good then... I guess...?|
Whatever may have happened while he was out of it but everything worked out fine sohow...
"Yes, teacher Perserios, thank you."
Zoemi bowed to Rokiana and quickly evacuated.
The blue-haired teacher looked at his back until he disappeared behind the corner and turned to the red-haired Grazio next.
"Student Victureo, I think I understand your situation, you are a good student but don't be so easy to manipulate by won's tears. You can go as well."
The woman didn't share Zoemi's experience and she had a different opinion about Grazio than the black-haired boy did, so he let the red-haired boy off with just a light warning.
"I understand."
Grazio nodded and hurriedly left the scene.
"Sifra..."
It was the turn of the blue-haired girl - she tried to hide behind her friends but it was useless since all three of them tried to hide behind each other at the sa ti resulting in a rather miserable scene.
"I had doubts about you since the very beginning and thanks to today I can say that you aren't suited for my little brother. He is the next head of the Perserios family, he needs a strong-willed and honest woman, whom he can trust, by his side. And you are not that kind of woman.. Everyone can get scared, but what did today was just shaless. You showed a manipulative side of yours - do you think we of Perserios need soone who accuses others out of spite?"
