In the spacious step classroom of the first year at Sage Academy, after Lanci finished speaking, the sudden face-off seemed to momentarily freeze all sounds in the air, leaving nothing but this oppressive, pervasive, unbreakable silence.
Even the afternoon light that poured into the classroom through the windows seemed to have slowed slightly.
At this moment, the other students were like statues with various expressions ā some were staring at the scenery outside the window while listening, some had their heads down looking at their books, pretending not to care, and some just turned their heads around in their seats.
In any case, they were all silently indulging in the drama happening at the back row.
And these observers, they finally realized what a despicable person Lanci was!
His first sentence was actually a trap!
It was only after successfully eliciting Modan's habitual derisive remarks that the general legal warning followed.
