Chapter 98: Miserable Condition
"What is this woman up to now?"
"Hehehe, she must be whoring up to another man since I heard she lusted after the young master of the Bennett landlord when she was the girlfriend of Leo."
"Not only that, I heard she also sold herself in the pleasure palace."
"Really? Did something like that happen? I thought Sister Anne was pure."
"Looks can be really deceiving sometimes, you know."
Anne's ears twitched as she coldly turned around, facing the group of individuals. Some coward, but some just stared there with sneakers on their faces.
"What are you guys looking at?" she spoke in a cold tone.
"We already know the whore reality of yours, Anne. You don't have to act like a princess in front of us now. Get lost," one of the girls said in a mocking tone.
Anne tightened her fist; however, she closed her eyes before moving to the side, allowing the others to enter while her eyes seemed to have turned cold.
"Damn it, because of Leo and that Jackson, my life has been a living hell," Anne thought with a bitter expression on her face.
Although Jackson Bennett didn't do anything to her, that didn't stop him from ruining her reputation. What was the worse fate than having their reputation ruined in the village?
Especially since she was still a weakling who has barely reached the mage apprentice realm yet.
Her performance was at the bottom of the barrel despite her having a middle-grade mental space; unfortunately, it was all useless to her.
"Hey, move it already," the female guard in white armor said with a frown deepening even more.
Anne gritted her teeth and entered the classroom obediently.
Chameron then went towards the female guard with a smile on his face.
"You must have it tough with these girls, huh?" he spoke with a smile on his face.
"Hmm," the female guard looked at him with a frown on her face, "it looks like you had it easy."
"Yes, I did," Chameron nodded his head with a proud expression on his face. "Do you know that the person that I was assigned to guard had a peak mortal body?"
The female guard widened her eyes with shock apparent on her face.
"Are you sure?" she asked tentatively.
"Yes, I am at least ninety nine percent sure that he has reached the peak."
"This, we need to report to the academy," the female guard spoke with a serious tone as she hurriedly left.
"Eh," Cameron was stunned by the swift departure of the woman.
"Oh, wait." Suddenly, a realisation sank in, which made him widen his eyes as he hurriedly ran after her.
"She wants to get all the credit for revealing this information to the academy," Cameron gritted his teeth as he cursed his mouth.
…
Aur sat in a relatively secluded corner, perfectly reflecting his rank among the seats around the fifth row.
Since the seats were divided into twelve rows, this location was ideal for him—neither too low for people to underestimate him, nor too high.
However, people can be strange at times. Regardless of what Aur does, some will cause trouble for no apparent reason.
It could be due to their mental state being off or their hormones working in overdrive, leading them to seek conflict.
This situation was no exception.
"Hey, where do you think you're staying? You don't deserve a place here," the man in front of Aur exclaimed.
Aur frowned, casting a gaze at the man.
The individual had raven-coloured hair and wore a blue coat, but his expression was twisted with arrogance, evident in his tone.
Aur's crimson pupils moved as he remained silent, choosing to ignore the man.
However, the man didn't let up; instead, he gritted his teeth, shouting with fury, and spitting across the table.
"You dare ignore me, you bastard?" He pointed his finger towards Aur.
Aur suddenly focused his crimson pupils towards the man, staring at him dead in the eyes.
The man froze in place as his legs started to tremble instinctively.
"Hmph, I will forgive you this time…" The raven-haired man turned around, maintaining a fierce expression, but his trembling body revealed a different tale.
The others snickered at seeing this, while Aur's eyes glinted with amusement.
"Maybe I have acted too soft recently…" Aur's eyes glinted with a cold light. Avoiding too much trouble will attract attention, which, in turn, will make trouble for Aur.
"Why does everyone want a piece of me whenever I want to live a peaceful life?" he thought with a frown on his face.
Suddenly, he spotted Leo walking from the corner of his eyes; however, his condition was even more miserable than Anne herself.
Aur blew a breath of cold air, thinking, "That young master Jackson really did a number on him, huh?"
Leo's left arm was mutilated, and his clothes were ragged, with fresh wounds still dripping from the cuts. Not only that, his face was black from all the smear, and his body emitted a disgusting scent.
Even the people who were closely attached to him went far away from him in disgust, not allowing him to sit in the seat next to them.
Seeing this, Leo seethed in rage and anger from deep down. Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything about it.
He could only grit his teeth and sat at the last seat in the most secluded place, as no one wanted to go near him, making him very isolated from the rest.
Aur chuckled, seeing this, thinking, "You wanted me to face these consequences, and now you are facing it."
Even Anne hid her face, sitting quietly in the corner with gritted teeth.
From time to time, she glanced at the expressionless Aur who was just staring ahead.
Her teeth made a grinding sound the more she stayed alone.
Soon, everyone settled in their seats, and even William was there, sitting at the front row with a serious expression on his face.
Aur looked at William with a strange gaze.
"So, this guy has a person inside his bo- wait, it might be in his mental space instead of the body." Aur's eyes widened as he thought this possibility was true.
"Maybe the old monster or many old monsters might be related to the golden text."
Aur felt that this possibility was even more and more true.
Before long, the red-haired woman, Adriana, entered the room with a smile on her face.
"Is the teacher in a good mood?"
Everyone thought almost simultaneously.
"Alright, you listen up, brats," she spoke with a loud tone that could be heard by everyone.
"I will be showing you a screen, and you guys must all watch these scenes carefully." Adriana said as she clapped her hand and two big strong men came carrying a huge monitor.
Boom!
The ground shook as the monitor was brought down to the ground.
"What is this thing?"
"This looks like a monitor, don't we have one already? Why do we need one more again?"
Immediately, whispers erupted among the students with curious eyes.
Seeing this, Adriana frowned.
"Silence," she erupted, causing a terrifying pressure to descend upon the entire classroom, making everyone's mouths shut up instantly.
