Chapter 76
“……”
The students gathered in the square were overcome with a sense of awe and trepidation.
Whish!
Khal and Deses.
The two of them had easily repelled the terror attack by Menos Tembel.
It had happened so quickly that even the faculty members were unable to respond properly.
Khal stared silently at the new students before speaking.
“Since you’ve made it in here, I assume you already possess many things? Wealth, family glory, and so on.”
His voice rang clearly in everyone’s ears, as if he were using sound amplification magic.
The freshmen began to whisper among themselves at Khal’s words.
Some among them shrugged their shoulders, proudly showing off.
Glancing at them, Khal spoke in a low, cold voice.
“But none of that belongs to you.”
“?!”
The atmosphere shifted abruptly. The freshmen flinched at Khal’s words, which struck right at the heart of the matter.
Khal narrowed his eyes sharply and added one more thing.
“If I catch any of you pulling stunts with those kinds of things, you’re dead.”
As Khal’s gaze grew fierce, the students began to stir in agitation.
“Isn’t that guy completely insane?”
“B-but considering the rules of Partes Academy, isn’t what he’s saying right?”
Most were bewildered, while only a few were trying to either agree or disagree.
“Work yourselves to death. And don’t get caught up in pointless social cliques.”
The congratulatory speech ended with that.
“Wh-what kind of guy is he?!”
Once again, the faculty members erupted in anger at Khal’s behavior, which completely disregarded tradition and formality.
