Soon, under Mr. Mitchell's lead, Betta arrived at the principal's office.
Betta had already thought of how to explain himself on the way here.
For example, it was all voluntary.
For example, the school had no right to interfere with the students' private lives.
But the moment he entered, he froze on the spot.
There were two other people in the principal's office.
A man and a woman.
They were unfamiliar faces!
Betta was utterly confused at that moment.
What was going on? Could it be that Lilia's innocent look was all an act?
Were these two people related to Lilia?
Forget about that guy, but why was there a woman too?
Lilia was a womanizer as well?
Thinking about this, Betta felt that it was too ridiculous. It was definitely not because of this.
Soon, Betta guessed another possibility.
The two students must have done something despicable, so they were called over.
Yes, that's right. That must be it.
As Betta was still speculating, the principal waved at him and said.
"Good boy. Come here."
Seeing the principal's amiable smile, Betta was full of doubts.
What was going on? Although kissing was not punishable, there was no need to be so friendly.
Why are you acting like I've done something great?
Nevertheless, although filled with doubts, Betta still went over obediently.
He had also heard that the principal of the No. 1 Middle School in New York City had Purple-Grade ability.
The superpower of replication required a lot of attention.
If it weren't for the fact that he was being watched closely, he would have started assisting the principal's superpower long ago.
…
Mitchell left after taking Betta to the principal's office.
Betta and the other two were left standing there, wondering what the principal was up to.
However, the principal didn't make them wonder for too long. He spoke first.
"Hello, I'm the principal of this school. My name is Infiniti."
"I still don't know your names. Please introduce yourselves.""
With that, the principal pointed to the boy on the left and said.
"You can start first."
The boy trembled as if he had done something wrong. He stammered.
"I—I'm Tom."
The principal smiled kindly and nodded. Then he looked at the girl standing in the middle.
The girl whispered.
"I'm Annie."
When Betta saw that the other two looked like they had done something wrong, it made him even more certain.
The principal was indeed here to find trouble with them.
Thinking of this, Betta decided.
He had to behave well and attain leniency from the principal.
Soon after, the principal looked at Betta.
Betta did not hesitate and replied calmly.
"Betta."
Seeing that Betta was so calm, the principal couldn't help but look at Betta, and seemed as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing the principal's expression, Betta was certain that his calmness was appreciated by the principal.
This might evoke the principal's intention to cherish talents and not expel him.
Nice!
However, the principal was thinking that.
Betta's aura was obviously different from the others.
If one of these three was the mysterious expert who had helped Colt.
Betta was the most likely one.
Betta exposed himself unknowingly under that situation.
Furthermore, he planned to continue exposing himself.
After knowing the names of the three students, the principal smiled and said,
"The three of you are new students. I called you here today for no other reason than to see your strength."
The other two were slightly stunned. They obviously did not expect him to come to the principal's office for this.
After all, they were neither the strongest nor the most talented students in class.
They were individuals who others would not find for anything.
But Betta was delighted to hear that.
It was good to display his strength.
He could easily create an orange or even yellow flame to impress the principal.
This way, he would definitely not be expelled!
Actually, the reason why the principal asked those three students to come was not because he had casually selected them.
According to all the teachers' memories, when Colt and the Great Demon were fighting, not many people did anything suspicious.
Only these three students had left the classroom.
Wanting to instantly kill two Great Demons without the teacher knowing.
This level of difficulty could only be achieved by a Purple-Grade.
Clearly, that mystery person must be among these three.
"Tom, you go first."
The principal looked over at Tom with an encouraging expression.
Although Tom hadn't figured out what was going on.
But he was no fool.
Anyone could tell that this was an excellent opportunity to perform!
As long as he went all out to display his ability, he might be able to obtain the principal's approval and be accepted as his disciple.
At this moment, Tom felt that he was about to reach the peak of his life.
"Fireball!"
At this moment, Tom used all his strength and showcased his most confident superpower.
Tom held his right wrist with his left hand.
The palm of his right hand was facing upwards in the shape of a claw.
A football-sized fireball rose from his palm.
Rank-2 Red-Grade.
The principal and Betta immediately came to a judgement after seeing the fireball.
At this moment, Tom was excited that he had successfully cast a fireball.
However, Betta noticed a hint of disappointment in the principal's eyes.
Instantly, Betta understood.
It seemed that Tom was not strong enough to be "forgiven".
Then, it was Annie's turn to showcase her superpower.
She pressed her palms together, placing them in front of her chest and said softly.
"Heal!"
Then, an orange light appeared in the office and shone on the other three people.
Rank-1 Orange-Grade!
Even Betta was surprised that this student had the strength of an Orange-Grade.
One needs to know that, a lot of time was needed for new mutants to reach the Orange-Grade.
It seemed that this girl was a promising talent.
Instinctively, Betta looked at the principal.
With such strength, she should have passed, right?
However, to his surprise, the principal still looked disappointed.
Not even Orange-Grade?
Betta was completely stunned.
"Betta, you can give it a try. Any superpower will do."
The principal looked over at Betta kindly.
However, Betta's expression became solemn.
Luckily, Annie was ahead of him.
Otherwise, he might have used an Orange-Grade superpower.
But now, even the Orange-Grade could not satisfy this principal. It seemed like he had to increase his ability.
Thinking of this, Betta snapped his fingers.
Then, a small flame appeared on his fingertip.
It looked extremely weak.
However, the other two students were shocked.
That was because this small flame was actually yellow magic!
Yellow-Grade ability!
Was this person really a freshman?
