A Destained Young Master Villain

Chapter 63 The Academy Dean

?

The beast outbreak was excessively unpredictable; no one knew it would occur without any sign. Resulting in the demise of numerous people.

The majority of students from Pontiac Academy also perished as a result of the outbreak.

Despite the unforeseen event resulting in the student's tragic death, the academy was not subjected to significant blame from the people of the Astre continent. As the unfortunate outbreak was unanticipated.

However, there were also those who expressed disapproval towards the academy's lack of ability to ensure the safety and well being of their students.

Due to this, the Pontiac Academy has postponed the classes for now. Another reason for that is that pretty much the majority of the students have died, so who is going to attend the classes? Their lifeless corpses?

In any case, the freshmen have been granted a break while the academy attends to what they should do from now on.

Inside the Pontiac Academy's conference table, many figures can be seen sitting down. The academy's dean has requested a meeting to deliberate on the appropriate course of action moving forward.

The one sitting at the head of the table is the dean herself, known as Hermione Belles; she is one of the Great Magisters of the Astre continent. Furthermore, she holds the authority to make all decisions pertaining to the academy.

Her hair is a vibrant shade of red, while her eyes emanate a gentle color reminiscent of the harmonious union of the ocean and the sky.

Hermione hails from a marquess family, and due to the nobles way of doing things, she was pressured and had to follow each and every instruction she was given by her parents when she was a child.

Due to that, she took matters into her own hands and left the family, cutting them off completely.

What she achieved when she left her family was astounding, and while traversing the outside world, she managed to establish her reputation throughout the whole planet.

While she was attending Pontiac Academy in the past, she was fortunate enough to be admitted as the dean's disciple, thus paving the way for her to become the dean.

Hermione was able to rise to power just by relying on her own power, her personality is very strict, and a perfectionist at that.

The matter of the outbreak and the students dying angered her to the point that she wanted to kill Hawkin and the other professors that were in charge of the Twilight Zone expedition.

All the high ranking individuals were currently gathered together in this academy conference room, and there was silence in the room, they were all waiting for the dean to speak.

They are able to perceive the extent of her displeasure regarding this matter.

"So, Hawkin, what do you have to say?" Hermione suddenly spoke with a smile on her face, but if we closely listened to her tone, there was a sense of indignation in her voice.

"Dean, I have no excuse for what happened, the outbreak just occurred without any warning."

"Hmm, I can understand, but–" as she was speaking, her mana manifested, making all the people inside the room feel like they were suffocating. "How the hell did you all not even minimize the amount of the student's death?"

"Do you consider yourselves professors at the Pontiac Academy merely for amusement?! Does your rank as a Magister hold no genuine significance?!"

Hermione's mana kept on increasing to the point that some professors were overwhelmed by the pressure and ended up losing their consciousness.

Seeing how everyone was silent, she let out a deep sigh and left the conference room. While walking, she conveyed, "I am not mad; I am just disappointed in all of you."

Of course, they are silent. What the f*ck? You made them faint; how the hell are they going to talk?

Anyway, back to where Zen and the girls are currently at; they have returned to Zen's villa.

While they were all taking their leisurely time talking and playing games and such to get their minds off of the outbreak that transpired.

Zen spoke and asked, "So how is life in the academy so far for you all?"

"Boring! There is nothing to do there."

Fiona also made a statement, expressing, "Of course, it is boring for you; you do nothing while you're there; I have never seen any person as lazy as you."

As Daphne and Fiona engaged in a heated dispute, Celestia turned her attention towards Zen and said, "The academy has told us that classes will be on hold for now, as they are still trying to figure out what to do."

"They did not tell us about anything else, but I'm just wondering how everything will proceed from now on."

"Most of the first year students are dead; maybe they will restart the first year classes and recruit new students again?"

"That is possible," Zen responded. "By the way, were there any strange occurrences that happened in the academy?"

Celestia fell into deep thought for a moment and suddenly remembered something. "Now that I think about it, there was a student that disappeared called Noah; he is from the Crellon family."

"Up until now, there has been no sign of him."

Hearing what Celestia said, Zen thought of something that might correlate to the things he had been speculating in his mind.

But he did not explain his thoughts to her; he just simply nodded at her words.

"Well, I'm planning to bring Xue with me to the academy the next time the academy recruits students again."

"Hmmm, hey, tell me honestly, is she your new girlfriend or something?"

Upon becoming aware of the subject to which they redirected their conversation, Xue inadvertently found herself blushing and compelled to attentively eavesdrop.

But then she thought, 'Hays, if that's really how things are, then I would have died of happiness long ago.' When she thought of this, a deep sigh escaped from her.

Zen just ignored Celestia's question, and he flicked her forehead.

'Ouch'

"What the hell Zen!" she says, as she caresses the spot where Zen hit her on her forehead.

During their conversation, Zen abruptly received a call and proceeded to check who the person calling him was, which turned out to be Marie.

He picked up the call and asked, "Marie, have you finished what I instructed you?"

"Yes, I will send the documents to you right now."

'Damn, they work quite fast, I did not expect to get results this fast' Zen said internally commending his family's intelligence force.
