Chapter 434 - Trouble

David's eyes immediately flashed with intense coldness and the vicinity chilled as though it was winter. "What do you think you are doing?"

His words were filled with killing intent and the atmosphere immediately got tense as David glared at the young lady who had attacked him wanting to kill Flint .

"Y-your p-pet attacked me!" The young lady stuttered-shrieked. She might have been scared of David or might have been stunned David's body had actually repelled her attack.

"But did you attack my pet? You obviously attacked me! On the academy's premises at that!" A devious light shone through David's eyes, he couldn't possibly let this go.

"Moreover, who is to say my pet actually wanted to attack you? It obviously was happy to see other people and wanted to play, but you actually attacked me out of jealousy and hatred. I think I would need to talk with the disciplinary department about the behaviours of their staffs. Seeing as you are above the law, going around attacking other people without warning." David said in a stern voice that obviously meant he wouldn't let the matter rest so easily.

The group of disciplinary team had an ugly expression on their faces as they knew that David could possibly create trouble from that one action. It was somewhat Forbidden to attack another student within the academy. If David wanted to pursue the matter, the matter might blow up out of proportion and possibly implicate the Disciplinary department since their one of their staff member disobeyed and iron clad rule of the academy.

The young lady's eyes widened as she pointed at David. "Y-you! I-I didn't do it on purpose!" She wanted to justify herself but David's words were just to convincing.

"Enough!"

The young man at the midst of the young lady and the other young man spoke turned towards the young lady and shouted.

The young lady immediately kept quiet. But her eyes glared at David with a new found hatred. She couldn't possibly imagine how hateful David could be.

The young man then turned to David and smiled. "Brother David, Little sister Xing just joined the department and isn't well behaved, she is easily scared at the slightest things, I apologise for it. Why don't we go inside brother David, there might be some information you need to here. Moreover you could also get dressed and prepare." The young man suggested.

David's eyes flashed as he understood what the young man was implying. He wasn't going to be so difficult when the young man was obviously compromising.

"Haha, it's just a small matter, brother... "

"Tang, Tang Lin." The young man responded.

"Brother Tang, there's no need to wait outside, come on in brother, let me get you something." David smiled, his attitude had taken an immediate 360 degree change as he invited them in.

As David entered, Tang Lin glanced the lady that had messed up as though warning her to be in her best behaviour, before entering with David.

Offering them some seats, David took out a jar of fine wine he had gotten from Feng Lang's storage ring and took out a few cups, offering them to the three people while he also took a seat as he said.

"I just got this wine for quite a stiff price, I hope it's to brother Tang Lin's liking." David lied flawlessly right through his teeth.

Using this opportunity to form connections with someone from the Disciplinary department is already a win-win situation for him. Holding on to the earlier dispute would be plain foolish.

Tang Lin seem like the stern and gentle person but also quite flexible seeing the way he handled the earlier situation. A small smile formed on his lips as he dropped the cup of wine and replied. "I think it's worth the effort getting this wine, it's really good. But sadly there is not much time otherwise I would have asked brother David how I could also get this same wine."

David nodded his head and smiled. "That's okay brother Tang, we can talk about that when next we meet."

His expression turned serious as he also dropped his cup of wine. "Brother Tang, I believe you have some information for me."

Tang Lin paused slightly and had some hesitation on his face. Eventually, he sighed. "Brother David, I shouldn't be telling you this as I'm in violation of a rule but since I'm owing you one, I will just tell you."

"Brother David, to be honest you are in a bit of trouble. Although I'm not sure about the details but I heard there was a condition for the mission you took outside the academy a week ago and after a couple of investigation, it's been revealed that you violated the condition and now you've been called justify yourself before being sent to the Water prison."

David frowned, he remembered the conditions given to him before the mission which was to only use sword kinesis to complete the mission, which was exactly what he had done. Well, he had activated third star though and had literally obliterated the outskirt of the forest, it was normal the academy would have noticed something was odd since an ordinary late mortal stage practitioner shouldn't be strong enough to pull such a feat.

David gathered his thoughts and stood up, bowing slightly. "I thank brother Tang for his heads up, I will surely remember this." David said with solemnity.

Tang Lin's eyes opened wide as he saw David's sincerity. His eyes squinted and he also stood up, waving his hands. "It's nothing brother David, just see it as an help from a fellow friend."

"We need to go now, the committee are waiting to here your side of the story." Tang Lin said and glanced at the beast close to David's chest. Why does he get the feeling that the pet was different. Keeping it at the back of his mind, he turned around to lead David to the place

David nodded his head and followed them. Numerous ideas flashed through his mind as he thought about how he could escape from his predicament.

The committee might not easily going to let him go even if he was right. But if push came to shove, he would proceed according to the plan he had in his mind.

The place was a huge manor with a big black gate as its entrance. Upon walking in, David could see seven elder sitting in an arc shaped style while the one who seem to be the leader sat at the middle of the seat.

"You are here, let's proceed." One of the elder's voice echoed in the room.

But before the old man could continue. A voice full of authority spoke up. "Didn't think you would be the first to cause trouble within the academy seeing as you are the one with less talent. But then, I'm not really surprised seeing as you're White's disciple." The one who had spoken was the middle aged man seated at the middle of the arc shaped chairs.

"You know my master?" David asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Know? You can say that." The middle aged man chuckled and then waved his hands as he continued "Continue with the judgement."

Hearing this, an old man at the edge stood up and spoke in a resounding voice. "David, you've made mockery of the academy's rules and regulations by doing as you wished instead of obeying it, do you admit to your crimes!?"

David frowned and spoke. "I don't even know what crimes I committed, why would I admit to it."

"Impudent!" Another old man with a large beards stood up and shouted.

David's eyes twitched, the old man looked one step away from death, won't shouting like that just take him closer to his grave?

"You dare lie to the disciplinary court right before the academy Dean?" The old man continued to shout.

David's eyes flashed and he ignored the old man to glance at the middle aged man at the middle of the seat. If what the old man did was right, then this middle aged man was probably the Academy Dean. But he didn't look like much to David.

It could be the fact that the middle aged man was horrifyingly strong he couldn't feel a single wave from him.

Taking in a deep breath, David's expression was resolute as he responded. "I'm not lying. I honestly don't know why I'm been summoned here and the reason for being called here."

"Hmph! Seeing as you pretend not to know your crimes, we will help you remember."

"Did you or did you not use genetic powers during your mission a week ago?" The old man asked sternly.

David paused before he responded. "Yea I did, but-"

"There is no need for further words, since you've admitted to your crimes, you shall be judged for punishment." The old man immediately cut David off from talking any further and took his seat.

David's expression darkened. He didn't think the old man would be so unreasonable he didn't even allow David to finish his words before cutting him off.. Genetic power was already a part of him, not using genetic powers was similar to not using his muscles at all.
