His pupils instantly constructed as he saw the instructor gazing at him with her usually expressionless gaze that seem to be capable of penetrating the through every defenses and see through secrets.
His brows squeezed together as he asked no one in particular. "Do you think she noticed?"
There was a momentarily silence and then a voice spoke out in David's head. "She shouldn't have noticed under a normal circumstance but I don't think your instructor is normal in anyway so, there's a slight chance she noticed you faked your injury."
This words immediately put David into deep contemplation. He already knew his instructor want normal since the beginning. He just didn't know she had some type of skill that could see through his injury.
"Yeah, the possibility is there. But then, why do you say I faked my injury? I literally ruptured my veins and muscles to escape the scrutiny of the crowd. Since the old man isn't here, I have to lay low." David muttered while his laid down body was being carried off the stage.
"You could have just not activated the Silver Body technique then you wouldn't have to injure yourself that way."
"Now it's my fault I overestimated the crazy instructor's attack. How could I have known her attacks were going to be weak?" David grumbled silently as he was finally carried to the med center.
Finally, after a few seconds, the students were able to get off their shock.
"W-what just happened!?" Divos asked in absolute disbelief.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"D-did he just take on an Instructor's attack and is still alive!?" another student muttered in disbelief.
"That's impossible!"
"Is an instructor even allowed to attack a student?"
Suddenly, the crowds burst out into a total frenzy. An instructor actively attacking a student, it as the first time the year one students had ever seen or heard of it.
It was obvious that the instructor was been dealt with, judging by the obvious shockwaves occasionally boom form outside the stadium.
And for David to have survived the attacks of a six-gene phaser, it took more than just luck to have survived an attack like that. Strength must have been involved.
And as of what would happen after the instructor had been taken down, it would all be useless if David had died.
It took a while for the competition at the first year arena to continue, with the efforts of several instructors. Calming the crowds. And as if what had happened over at the Year own side, the students from other years turned a blind eye to it and only focused on their battle.
But the one eyes of the several instructor watching the scene flickered and they quietly watched as David was being pulled off the stage and then carried to the med center.
The silence amongst the Senior Professors was quite oppressive. It was thick and it spread through the air, making most of the students who didn't know what was going on feeling slightly uneasy, like like a prey under the prying eyes of a predator.
Most of the student felt uncomfortable with the change in the atmosphere.
"This kid is pretty talented." The old senior professor laughed as he said this.
"Mad white must really have taken interest in this kid if he taught him the Silver Body Tempering Exercise." another senior professor added.
"Which also mean he must have also given him that technique to." They one who spoke was a young man with a large mouth starch that appeared to be in his late twenties but was actually much older than he looked.
"He'd never release it to me no matter how much i gave in exchange for it."
This instantly made the oppressive silence in the atmosphere more intense. They all faced each other as though suddenly having the same idea.
Suddenly, their was a slight cough and like snow, the oppressive atmosphere melted instantly. The professors felt as though their head had been jolted by electricity.
They immediately went silent and bowed their head respectfully as only one person had enough mental waves to affect them.
"Now now, this shouldn't be the behaviour of a Senior Professors, comport yourselves."
"Since White is out on a mission, little David needs your protection." The voice of an old man sounded softly through the air, but to the other professors, the sound was a deafening thunder sounding right next to their ears.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe professors felt as though their brain had been directly jolted by massive amounts of electrical energy.
The effect wasn't only physical but also psychological! Their eyes widened like saucers upon hearing and then translating the words coming from the Grand Professor's.
For the Grand Professor to mention David's name, they knee what this meant and their hearts thumped. A few of the senior professors who had malicious thoughts and grudges on David and Mr White felt their heart dropped.
The female Senior professor eyes moved rapidly as she was tried to figure out how it was possible but they didn't dare to look at the Grand Professor in the eyes.
Only they know what it means for the grand professor to mention a student's name and then defend him...
In a few seconds, it suddenly clicked to her. Her eyes shrunk to a pin hole and she muttered. "Impossible!"
"He completed the task?" She had gone through a lot of troubles and used a lot of resources to get the attention of the grand professor and under the support from various Senior Professors she finally succeeded. She then used the opportunity to inform the old man about David, exaggerating his talents and potential in the Genetist filed
Obviously, she hadn't done this from the goodness of her heart. It had all been a plan all along which had an almost 100 percent chance of success.
But with what she had just heard and from what she could extract from it, it was highly likely she had shot her self in the foot.
Her expression fell drastically and her eyes turned red with her breathing and state unstable. The air trembled but just as it started, it desipate immediately as a voice interrupted.
"Is something the matter Little Ella?"
