I was standing in front of a huge door with a crossed sword and spear symbol on it
This symbol represented the central government that represented humanity, and thus it was used as a symbol for the academy as well
Behind this door was the academy council
It opened and Professor Benedict came out of it, "You can enter..."
After I entered, I saw a semi-circular table with ten people sitting on it, obviously the senior professors of the academy
But there was a young man who seemed to be in his twenties. From the information I had, I knew he was the student representative. Michael Ford. He was in his senior year. He was one of the most talented young men in his class. He had a handsome face and blond hair that reached his shoulders. He was very popular. Among girls and even boys because he was not from a noble family, but he reached this rank after a lot of effort
The other person was a beautiful girl with white hair and ruby red eyes. It was my sister Elena, who is the deputy student representative.
I felt so many stares piercing through me, everyone here was so powerful, the pressure from them was suffocating.
"Please calm down, you're scaring the boy..." Professor Edward interjects
This guy is really kind at heart
"Now we will discuss the issue of expelling student Elia..." Edward said indifferently
"...." I change my mind. This person is not kind at all
"Student, why didn't you tell us that you can't use Aura…" Edward said while drinking his coffee
Is this not an official investigation? Then why does he drink coffee here?
No, this is not the time to think about these things, I have to focus
"Because you definitely won't let me into the academy…" I tried to keep my cool as I answered
Showing a weak attitude will only make it worse
"That's normal. You know very well this place, and what kind of people enter it..."
"Well, that's true, but I have my reasons for coming in here…"
"Nonsense!" Professor Katarina exclaimed, "I don't know why we are conducting this investigation. It is clear that this person does not deserve to be in this place…"
"…" What's wrong with this woman, did you kill her parents or something
"I think that's what most professors think..." Edward looked at the other instructors
" Yes.."
"There is no objection to his dismissal decision."
"Accepting a B-rank talent was wrong from the start…"
This is bad, like this I will repeat from the academy before I meet Alexander
"Is there an objection from the Student Council?" Edward turned his eyes to Michael and Elena
"I have no objection..." Michael said, glancing at me
I looked at Elena with hope
If Elena objects to this decision, she may be able to change something
But Elena's cold look met me, "I have no objection..."
"...." Aren't we one family? Why don't you defend me
"Well, since there is no objection, it has been decided to expel the student…"
While Edward was speaking, I interrupted him as loudly as I could, "I object..."
"Student Elia, you cannot object to this decision…"
"I need a chance to prove myself…" I remembered the syringe that I injected myself with in that vehicle, that syringe should be able to give me some kind of strength.
If I don't prove to them that I'm strong enough, I'll be kicked out
"I understand that you don't want to leave the academy, but you can't stay here, because you can't use Aura…."
"But I might be able to use something else..."
Katarina hit the table hard while looking at me with contempt, "You can't use the Aura..."
Damn, I wanted to rush in and strangle this woman
"I think it's only fair that we give him a chance," a voice from one of the professors said
It was Professor Benedict
Edward was surprised by Benedict's words, "Professor Benedict, he doesn't..."
"I know he can't use Aura, you've repeated those words a hundred times, but I want to give him a chance to prove himself..."
I looked at Benedict like an angel came to save me, he doesn't care about his appearance at all, he looks like a neglected man, but he stood by me when I needed help
On the contrary, the beautiful teacher Katharina was standing against me at every step
You now understand the meaning behind the phrase "Don't judge a book by its cover."
Katarina protested, "Chance?, don't make me laugh, are you suggesting that this kid fight an academy student or something..."
"Oh, that sounds like a great idea..." Benedict smiled.
"....." Everyone was surprised, including me
me ? Fight another student?
I can't use Aura, and even one hit from a student capable of using Aura will kill me
Katarina calmed down. "You know I was joking, right?..."
"But I'm not joking." Benedict still had that friendly smile. "What do you think, Elia…"
Fighting another student is definitely dangerous, but this is my only chance
And I was sure that the trainers would not let me get hurt during the fight, so there was no danger to my life
I calmly looked at the professors, "I will fight..."
"This..." Edward hesitated
But Katarina shouted, "I refuse, how will the public look at us when they know we let an academy student fight someone who can't use aura..."
Most of the professors seem to agree with Katharina, and they started shaking their heads approving of her words
But I don't plan to stand aside. I moved forward and coughed to get their attention, "Ahmm.... Gentlemen, I know that none of you want me to stay here... But Unfortunately , even if you hate me here, you can't kick me out so easily... ."
They were surprised at my words, Well, this is the desired effect
I completed my words calmly, "I don't want to leave the academy, and you can't force me to do that. Do you know why..." I smiled broadly while looking at Professor Katharina, "Because the people who pay your salaries want me to stay here..."
"..." Everyone opened their mouths in shock, even Edward who had maintained a calm face since the beginning of the meeting was shocked at my words.
Now is the time to get to the main point
"So if you really want to expel me from the academy, you must have a proper excuse to do so. I want an opportunity to prove myself by dueling with a student. If I lose, you can expel me directly and I will not resist. If I win, I will stay as a student in the academy." .."
Katarina sneered as she looked at me coldly, "You win? What an unfunny joke, even the weakest people in the academy can kill you if they want to..."
I wasn't bothered by her mockery and smiled, "So I don't think there is any objection to doing this duel, no one will consider this as bullying the weak because I am the one who proposed this match in the first place..."
Silence fell on the place for a few moments. None of the professors spoke, but looked at Edward, waiting for his decision
Edward closed his eyes for a moment and seemed to be thinking of a solution to this issue
After a few seconds, Edward opened his eyes, "Good… It has been decided. We will hold a match between Apprentice Elia and another student. According to the outcome of this match, we will decide whether Apprentice Elia is qualified to stay in the academy or will be expelled due to lack of qualifications. "
