Seven Sins System Chapter 158. A real Devil or An Impostor? III
I furrowed my brow, trying to piece together the puzzle. It was a big hint, and I think I already had an idea of what was going on. "Has he seen a doctor before?" I guessed.
"Yes. But the doctor said it was just a scratch and he didn't need to worry about it. As for the cause, he guessed it might be the result of being scratched by a sharp edge of furniture or sothing like that," Ion replied.
"Have you ever seen him act strangely? Maybe walking around aimlessly or sothing, like so kind of trance?" I asked, trying to gather more information.
"No," they said in unison.
"I see..." I muttered, deep in thought as I tried to analyze all the information I had just received.
"Do you think they did sothing to him without his knowledge?" Barry guessed, concern evident in his tone.
"I don't know. Maybe. But it seems I was wrong," I replied, trying to keep my thoughts to myself. No, he was right, but I couldn't tell them openly since they could make a fuss about it. The cult would probably cover its tracks, and I would lose track again. So manipulation skills were that advanced, especially if they were being used by a demon. But in the past, mortals also had this ability, and they usually used it to commit cris.
I decided to keep this information to myself for now and continue my investigation.
"This John is from your class, right? Which one?" I asked again, trying to clarify. I rembered there were two Johns in their class.
"Why do you want to know?" he asked, a hint of suspicion in his tone.
"If he cos here, I want to do a quick checkup for his psychology. He probably experienced so sort of trauma that caused him to be like that," I reasoned, trying to ease his suspicions. Of course, I wouldn't wait for him to co to . I would go up to him and read his mind myself.
"John Crowwind," Ion replied.
Once again, I furrowed my brows in surprise. "Isn't he from Theo's team?" I asked, surprised that they were still friends with him despite my bad relationship with Theo.
"So of the mbers don't like him either. Mr. Theo was too arrogant. He didn't hesitate to humiliate his team with harsh words. Sotis, if they weren't good enough, he would push them even though they were already at their limit," Ion explained.
"And to make it worse, he forbade his mbers from coming to the infirmary after you entered this academy," Darren added, shaking his head in disgust. "It seems his hatred for you has boiled in his blood."
I understood their frustration. Theo had always been a difficult person to deal with, and it seed like he was taking out his anger on his team mbers.
"And whenever his mbers have minor injuries, he usually just tells them to suck it up," said Ion with a dry smile, a mix of pity and annoyance in his tone.
'Good thing Aria replaced him. She's a goddess so she shouldn't be as strict, as him,'I comnted to myself.
"You know, we are happy that you are our ntor. Compared to Mr Theo, you are much better," Ion suddenly added in relief.
"Don't you often call demon because of my training thods?" I teased them, a mischievous smile on my lips. It was them who had told that in the past.
"At least you never use it to humiliate us and you know when to stop," Barry admitted, shrugging.
"He doesn't need that. His death stare is enough to freeze our blood," Darren sneered, shuddering in horror.
"But we have a good healer as a bonus," Ion defended .
"Then you should listen to and stop fooling around," I blurted out.
"Aye, sir," the trio said in unison, a hint of amusent in their voices.
The knocking sound on the door made turn my head, and I saw the door open to reveal a security guard. He looked shocked as he peeked inside.
"Oh, sorry. Do you work overti, doc?" he asked, a hint of surprise in his voice.
I turned to the clock and saw that it was already 6:11 PM.'Oh no, I'm late to et Evie!'I scread internally, standing up from my chair. "We were just chatting, but it seems we lost track of ti," I explained.
The trio also stood up from their seats, realizing how late it was, and quickly cleared the chairs.
The security nodded. "I understand. Don't forget to lock the door. Have a good night, doc," he said politely, nodding his head.
I nodded my head as well. "Thank you for your hospitality," I replied.
After the guard left, I quickly took my stuff inside my bag, while the trio decided to leave without waiting for .
"Bye, doc," said Barry.
"See ya tomorrow!" said Ion.
I replied with a wave and a smile.
Then they left.
A couple of minutes later, I left the infirmary, locked the door, and left in a hurry. I was running really late. As my legs moved, I checked my phone and texted Evie to inform my lateness.
I passed through a huge number of students who were walking down the corridor in front of . It was a rare sight since so many students had moved to the dorms already. But as my ears could catch their conversation it seed they stayed longer because they were talking about Theo and what happened this morning. Rumors spread very easily in this academy and Gem's loud voice made everything worse. I wasn't surprised by all of this.
Since the center of the rumors was and Theo, they turned to spontaneously. So quickly diverted their gazes to other places once I looked at them while so decided to nod and smile as if it was a normal thing.
