Professor Stella's words confused the professors of the Vermont Academy since it was their first time hearing about them.
On the other hand, the professors of the Rakmiths Academy were stunned including the five alleged victims of Vale's group assault. They seem to know something based on their reactions.
Of course, their reaction didn't escape everyone else's sight so they immediately asked Stella to clarify what she said.
"Professor Stella, can you tell us more about it?" A male professor in his middle age asked calmly. He was wearing a faded green frock coat and had a gloomy aura around him. His name is Norbert Curtis and is a professor in the Necromancy Department.
As soon as Stella mentioned the names of those two people, he noticed how the eyes of the Rakmiths Professors changed… It turned from being haughty into being nervous.
That was very a suspicious act for him
"What do you mean by this, Professor Stella?" Professor Russel also asked as he squinted his eyes… He couldn't help but frown after seeing the reaction of the people from the Rakmiths Academy. It appears as if they were hiding something from him!
"Well, since they're silent… Allow me to explain. Vale, Philip, and Priscilla did indeed beat up a few students from Rakmiths Academy." Stella said as she looked at everyone's reaction.
Professor Russel and student Dale turned their frowning faces into a delightful ones after hearing this. It seems they weren't mistaken after all. If even Professor Stella was saying this, it means that it is confirmed as she probably heard it from Vale's confession as well.
"So we're right… Just bring them here so we can properly discuss their punishment. You don't have to look for other people." Professor Russel immediately said.
"Indeed… I told you, I wasn't wrong. I really saw them!" Dale added in excitement. He didn't know why Vale and the others admitted to the crime he did himself but it was all well now that they confessed.
It seems that they got too scared and claimed they had the committed crime before he could even pressure or force them into a confession.
He already made up a plan on how to make Vale's group the assaulters of the freshmen students from Rakmiths Academy but all of them don't matter now.
"Professor Stella. Are you sure about this? Although Vale has records of being violent because of how he could kill someone in his batch, Philip and Priscilla don't have this kind of record. Besides, they came from a reputable clan… I don't think they'll bother dealing with those weak and pathetic students of this Rak—or whatever Arcane Academy it is."
An old female professor who was from Vermont Academy spoke in doubt.
She's a Professor from Basic to Intermediate up to Advance Spell Fusion Classes in the 8th, 9th, and 10th-year classes. She was basically the leader in this trip to Charvale City but because of her age, she simply distributed the tasks to the Professors and students.
She mostly remained silent and just kept on observing things.
Now that she spoke, Professor Stella couldn't help but smile as she knows that she simply had to use the old professor to put herself in a favorable position.
In the meantime, the professors from Rakmiths Academy wouldn't let her snide at their students pass just like that…
"What do you mean pathetic?! Our students were ambushed! They didn't expect that your student would be so violent and just attack out of nowhere!"
"Don't make it seem like our Academy is incapable of producing a strong freshman student. That Vale or whoever they were was just lucky since our elite students didn't join us here."
The Professors of Rakmiths Academy immediately angrily said after hearing her remarks.
Professor Stella simply sneered at this as she knows how Vale's group defeated even a seventh-year student of their beloved Academy.
"Hmph! I haven't finished speaking yet. Although Vale, Philip, and Priscilla have indeed beaten up a few students of your Academy, they weren't the first-year students but those sixth-year and seventh-year students of your Elemental Arts Academy."
Professor Stella said making everyone silent within the room.
***
During this time, Vale and the other two also found themselves in a difficult situation…
After they left everything to Professor Stella, they decided to go out for a walk and at least enjoy the night street of Charvale City.
They would have to return by tomorrow evening after all.
They were also planning to purchase a few local souvenirs as well since they weren't sure when will they get a chance to visit this place once again.
However, as they were checking out the items being sold by the street hawkers, they heard a commotion not too far from them…
"Run! Run! The old butcher has been possessed by an Evil Spirit! Run!"
"Call the police! Hurry!"
"Don't panic! The possessed person shouldn't be capable of running around! We can just burn him into ashes! Don't panic or you'll get hurt!"
As a crowd of scared people started moving away, a few individuals mustered their courage to see the situation ahead.
They moved forward and kept warning the people who seem so terrified.
"Let's have a look! I haven't seen a possessed person before!" Priscilla said in excitement.
Vale believes that this is a bad idea but something in him wanted to take a look as well. Although it may not be the best choice, he just felt that this is an opportunity to learn more about a possessed person…
No, they weren't even sure if the evil spirit possessed a living person. Perhaps, this is a situation where an evil spirit possessed a corpse and created an evil creature. Vale couldn't erase this idea as he agreed with Priscilla.
Philip has no problems with it as they followed the origin of the disturbance.
Soon, they arrived close to the slaughterhouse and saw the figure of the possessed person…
The butcher is quite huge and still wearing his bloodied apron and cleaver in his right hand. He seems to have just finished a slaughter and appears quite scary…
However, it wasn't just like that, the man's eyes has already turned completely black and he was walking unsteadily.
At this moment, Vale and the other two were frozen on their spot as they realized that the possessed butcher had noticed their presence.
