Chapter 41 - Beyond Bullying!
Chapter 41: Beyond Bullying!Felix gritted his teeth. This was blatant intimidation!
No, it was blatant bullying!
Will was practically announcing that when Felix returned to school, he’d gather people to beat him up, wasn’t he?!
He had just been punished, and this guy was already lining up to bully him?!
How could he swallow this humiliation…
He glanced at Eir’s frost-covered, icy fist.
…Okay, maybe he’d have to swallow it for now.
“Say whatever you want. I’ve already been suspended, alright?!”
Felix, clearly frustrated, threw in the towel and prepared to leave.
“Oh, I just wanted you to know—despite not having practical exam scores, I can still stand tall in this elite class.”
Will said this while waving his bandaged right hand in the air.
Wait…
Practical exam… practical exam?!
Oh, right!
How could he have forgotten about that?!
Entark First Academy wasn’t like the Second Academy, which emphasized physical combat. It prioritized re
“The practical exam will take place on the school field, and spectators are allowed. Normally, no one pays much attention to these matches, right? So, by observing who shows interest in our duel, we can narrow down potential suspects. It’s much better than searching blindly.”
Will’s explanation was only half the story.
It also tied into the original plot.
In the original story, Will’s makeup exam wasn’t anything special. From his perspective, he described it as a grueling battle where he barely stayed conscious.
The story didn’t specify who his opponent was, but based on Leah’s comments, it seemed like the homeroom teacher had stepped in—though in the original, the teacher wasn’t Leah.
As a result, very few people had watched the match, as “Young Master Will’s” duels weren’t particularly entertaining. Only a handful of classmates and acquaintances had been present.
But with Felix as the opponent, if Felix had a backer who had instructed him to bully Will, that person would likely show up to watch the duel.
Heh, this is killing two birds with one stone!
Surely Leah would praise his cleverness, right?!
“Anyway, you just didn’t want to fight your homeroom teacher!”
Leah pouted, her tone almost like she was sulking.
