Chapter: 140
“Let’s hope nothing happens.”
Hu Bong’s concern became a reality. Early in the morning the next day, three instructors came to Yeowun and his members in the forest nearby where they were going to train. One of those instructors was Impeng.
“You’ve done a foolish thing.”
“...I’m sorry.”
“The Chief has ordered us to take you to his room.”
‘Oh no..’
The seven members all became worried. They just hoped that Yeowun would not get expelled. If that happened, then Yeowun would be targeted by the Poison Clan right away.
When instructors brought Yeowun up to the office of the Chief, they let Yeowun go in alone.
“Chief, the 7th cadet is here.”
“Let him in.”
When Yeowun walked in, Lee Hameng had tied his long red hair to the back and was working on a document. Yeowun then bowed politely.
“7th cadet, reporting to the Chief of the Demonic Academy.”
Lee Hameng did not respond and focused on his document. The air went cold as silence fell. Soon, Lee Hameng finished writing on the document and got up to stretch his muscles.
“I had to write an incident report thanks to you, so don’t be angry about me not responding to your bow.”
That was what Lee Hameng had been working on. He had to report Baek Jongmeng and the other instructors on what had happened. Hameng pointed at the chair near the meeting table and allowed Yeowun to have a seat.
Lee Hameng sat across Yeowun and looked at him with his fingers crossed. It was hard to tell what he was thinking. After a long time, Hameng said, “You are still young.”
“What?”
“Let’s deal with the work first. Let me speak first as the Chief of the Academy.”
‘As the Chief?’
Yeowun became curious and Hameng continued, “You’ve done some serious damage by destroying another cadet’s internal energy.”
The problem here was that. Fighting and dueling behind the scenes were unofficially recommended by the academy, so the actual fighting was not a problem.
“You basically killed a martial artist.”
It was likely that there was going to be punishment for this. Yeowun’s eyes shook. This meant that he might even get expelled.
“Through our long history in the academy, you are the first to do such a foolish thing. If we let you walk freely after doing such a thing, there will be others who will replicate such a foolish act.”
‘No...’
Yeowun put his head down. Hameng concluded, “So, as the Chief of the Academy, I hereby order you to turn over your yellow tag and stay for five days in the prison cell.”
Yeowun’s eyes widened with shock.
“...Am I not getting expelled?”
“Expel? What nonsense are you talking about? The only expulsion in the academy is from failing a test, or killing another cadet outside an official duel.”
“Oh...”
