Seeing his classmates rally to his side, the long-haired boy grew more arrogant. He pointed at Quilin, who was silently turned away from the crowd, and declared loudly,
"I remember now, I heard from my father! During the rebellion ten years ago, the Lundy family was implicated in the betrayal. Although there was no direct evidence to strip you of your title, your family fell from grace, losing lands and wealth, right? How can a woman from a fallen noble family dare to teach us elites? We demand to change another…"
But his speech was cut short by a piercing scream. In an instant, the boy's elegant long hair had been completely shorn off, leaving him bald.
No one saw exactly what had transpired, but when the crowd collected their senses, they only caught sight of Quilin's raised left hand and a throwing knife embedded in the back of the boy's chair.
