The Author's POV

"To think you would stoop low enough to actually seriously injure a student just because you couldn't accept your loss..."

"Hmph"

Under Donna's overbearing pressure, Gilbert firmly stood his ground. No matter what he did, he believed that as long as he didn't kill Kevin he would be fine...and he wasn't wrong. Glancing at the instructors in the stands, Gilbert knew that if had stepped over his bounds they would've all interfered.

Seeing their lack of action meant one thing...he was still in the clear. Smiling to himself, Gilbert couldn't help but think

'...They don't have the guts to do anything to me!'

Noticing the smirk on Gilbert's face, incensed, Donna shouted out loud

"Answer me!"

Glancing at Donna, with a smirk on his face whilst raising his voice he answered

"What is there to answer? I let the emotions get the best of me and I went overboard..."

Turning around towards the audience, Gilbert bowed down and apologized to everyone. As he spoke, his voice would occasionally tremble, making it seem like he was trying his best to hold his emotions back.

"I'm sorry you had to see m-e in such a sorry state. When I-I saw Kevin, I was reminded of a friend of mine in the past and lost control of my e-motions...I'm-m sorry"

As soon as Gilbert's words died down, after a couple of seconds of silence, a wave of support from the crowd came crashing down.

"We understand"

"...yeah, it was just a mistake"

"It's not like Kevin died or anything like that!"

Sitting down on the stands, I shook my head. Although it looked like the crowd was supporting Gilbert, in reality, they were either people from his faction or people looking to curry favor with them.

Some of the people in the crowd were also those that hated Kevin due to how outstanding he was...In the end, no one particularly cared about what happened to Kevin.

"Bullshit!

Standing in the air, Donna's enraged shout shook the whole place. Pointing at Gilbert, the purple hue around her intensified even more as the area around Gilbert froze

"khh..."

"How shameless can you be!"

Conglomrating mana into her eyes, Donna prepared to use one of her skills against Gilbert, however, right before she could use the skill, multiple instructors shot from the stand and stopped right before her

"Donna stop!"

"Instructor Donna please calm yourself down"

"Please don't do this instructor Donna"

Staring at the instructors before her in disgust, the purple hue around her didn't decrease one bit. In fact, it intensified.

As her clothes fluttered in the air, with her shining amethyst eyes, she stared at everyone before saying

"Good, good, good, is this how low our academy has fallen? Only interfering when Gilbert is in danger but not doing anything when he goes berserk like he had done with Kevin a couple of seconds ago?"

Under Donna's overbearing pressure, the instructors all tried their best to withstand the pressure as they tried to calm her down.

"Yes we saw, but instructor Donna, please look around you...please calm down and let's talk in a more private place"

Pointing towards the crowd, one of the instructors couldn't help but say

"What?"

Frowning, Donna looked around her...and that's where she saw it.
