“Did you really hit those three students?”
Evane questioned and Nux’s face turned serious as well.
“I did.” He nodded.
“Nux, look here, if you are being threatened by someone, you can tell me. I am the Princess of this Kingdom, and I can tell you that my influence is far stronger than you know.
So if you have any troubles, all you have to do is tell me and I assure you I will handle everything.” Evane muttered with a serious look on her face. She really didn’t want to believe that her student attacked those three students.
She has spent some time with Nux, she knows his character a little, and she doesn’t think he was someone who hits someone. Therefore, she doubted that he was being threatened.
“Teacher Evane,” Nux called.
“I did it.” He nodded again.
“I am someone who dared to challenge the so-called Queen of the Academy, inside the academy. I am not scared of anyone, I am not being threatened by anyone.”
Nux answered with a serious look on his face.
“Nux, they were 15-year-old children.
Children.
Why did you hit them so hard?
I talked with the medic, do you know what he said?
He said that the person who attacked those three was simply an inhumane bastard, their legs were broken, there were injuries all over their body, and the worst part was they were left alone for god knows how long!
Why did you do it?”
Evane questioned.
“1 Year.”
Nux muttered.
“Teacher Evane, those ‘Children’ you are talking about, bullied an 8-year-old child for 1 whole year.
And trust me, it was not any bullying normal 15-year children do, it was something far worse.
They humiliated him in front of many students, they beat him up for no apparent reason, they took everything he bought with his hard-earned money and the money his money mother sent to him and they did this for a whole, long year.
Not only that, they even dared to talk about his family, they talked about how they were Earls and how his mother was only a Viscount, hinting and indirectly warning him not to complain to the authorities.
Continue this for a few more years and the impact on that child’s mind would be so big that his whole life would be destroyed.
This is not something you can just ignore, Teacher Evane.
It won’t be wrong to say that those ’15-year-old children’ tortured him,
Mentally and physically.”
Nux answered as his eyes shined with rage.
He wasn’t nearly done with those Bourkees, however, what happens next would be decided by Felberta, not him.
Actually, he hasn’t even told anything to Felberta yet.
He wanted her to see Royce’s happy face before telling her what has happened.
Evane, who heard Nux’s words was taken aback, she thought about it a little and then, she gritted her teeth,
“But… but couldn’t you approach things in a better way…?
That boy didn’t complain to the Authorities, but couldn’t you do it in his stead?
Why would you take things into your own hands?
Why not let the authorities do it?
Everything would have been solved more peacefully that way…”
She questioned and a wry smile appeared on Nux’s face.
“Teacher Evane… You can talk about things and solve everything ‘peacefully’ because you are the princess of this Kingdom.”
Nux muttered and then he continued,
“With your status, solving things is much easier for you than it is for someone like us.
I apologize if it sounds a little harsh, but the way you think is naïve and a little foolish.
Let’s say I had used your way to solve things and complained to the authorities, what do you think would happen?” Nux questioned.
“Authorities would have taken strict action against those three students,” Evane answered.
She wasn’t bothered when Nux called her foolish, she wanted to know what he was thinking, she was rather open about it.
“And what is this ‘Strict’ action you are talking about?” Nux questioned.
“They would be expelled from the Academy.”
Hearing the answer, Nux smiled,
“Oh? And then what?”
“Huh?” Evane frowned.
“So you are telling me that the price of destroying the future of a Student is just expulsion?”
Evane frowned.
“What if I bully 20-30 students? What if I make their life worse than hell, destroy their confidence, impact their brain so much that they would never dare to stand against someone in their entire life,
What action will the academy take against me? Expulsion?
Then what about the students who were bullied? What about their destroyed future? Who will compensate that?”
“…” Evane turned silent.
She had no answer.
“This is the reason why I had to take things into my own hands, Teacher Evane.
I had to show him that while being a commoner, I can stand against Earls.
Not only that, I can even stand against someone more powerful than me.
I have to give him hope for his future, I needed to bring back his lost confidence.
And if I have to destroy the future of a few students to do that,
Then call me selfish if you want, but Teacher Evane, I will do it.”
Nux answered as his eyes shined with determination.
Evane was taken aback by those eyes.
That determination.
That will.
If she was being honest, she was impressed and at the same time, the way she was thinking was changing a little.
“Are you related to that boy somehow?” She questioned.
“…he calls me Big Brother,” Nux answered.
‘Though he should be calling me dad soon.’
Of course, he won’t say that out loud.
“So he is like your little brother huh…” Evane nodded.
“Indeed, I won’t go so far for someone I don’t know, Teacher Evane. I would have used your way, I would have complained to the Authorities.”
“…” Evane turned silent as she thought a little more about it.
“T-Then… are you sure you can win against that Candice two days later?” Evane questioned.
A smile appeared on Nux’s face and he answered,
“But of course.”
