Everyone in the class looked at Su Ye.

The Magic Council represented the most powerful magical faction in all of Greece. Even to the students of the higher grades, it was a distant word.

“They should be coming,” Su Ye said.

On the other side of the table, Rolon said, “If nothing unexpected happens, the Magic Council will definitely send a saint-level master to deal with this matter. Su Ye, you have to understand that if you are convicted of stealing someone else’s work, not only will you be expelled from Plato Academy, not only will you lose the right to learn from other mages, you might even be blacklisted by mages. When that happens, there will be many places that you won’t be able to go. You might not even be able to buy basic magic items, unless you go to another country.”

Su Ye said, “I’m not too sure about the specifics, but I have a certain understanding of the general consequences.”

“What are your chances of winning?” Huo Te asked worriedly.

“As long as the Magic Council maintains its impartiality, I will definitely win,” Su Ye said.

Laker thought for a moment, then said, “Generally speaking, the Magic Council will maintain its impartiality. But don’t you think that this matter is more complicated? What if Carlos uses some sort of underhanded method to invite a saint-level master who is close to the nobles? What then?”

As he spoke, Laker’s gaze inadvertently swept past Rolon.

Rolon’s expression didn’t change, but his right hand slowly tightened around the table, his knuckles slowly turning white.

Huo Te said, “Although Carlos is a noble, he’s only from a Saint-level clan. He shouldn’t be able to affect the Magic Council, right?”

“A student of a saint-level clan dares to publicly frame a fellow student?”

“Are you saying…”

“If there’s a mastermind behind this, it’s at least a legendary clan, or perhaps even a heroic clan. The chances that a demigod clan is behind this is extremely slim. A faction of that level didn’t need to resort to such schemes. The more polite ones would wait for Su Ye to leave the school gate before capturing him immediately. The less polite ones would send the city guards in here to capture him.” Laker said.

“In short, Su Ye, you have to be careful,” Rolon rose, his hands clutching his weapons as he left the classroom.

“Thank you,” Su Ye said.

“Then what should we do?” Huo Te asked.

“Wait,” Laker said helplessly.

Huo Te lowered his head and didn’t move.

Laker closed the magic book and put it under his ribs. He said, “I’ll go to the cafeteria to get food for my sister. I might come to school to practice magic at night. Su Ye, if you have time, we can spar… no strangling allowed.”

“No problem,” Su Ye smiled.

Palos was still studying.

Su Ye opened the magic book and thought for a long time. He wrote two big words on a blank page.

“Thank you.”

Su Ye slowly pushed the book to the side of Palos’ magic book.

Palos turned her head to take a look, then turned back to continue reading. At the same time, she stretched out her pale left hand and pressed it against Su Ye’s magic book, slowly pushing it back.

Su Ye looked up at the sky.

What did this mean? Was he supposed to guess what this action meant?

After a while, Su Ye opened his book and studied seriously.

When he finished studying, the classroom was already empty. Su Ye carried the magic book and went to the cafeteria.

There were far fewer people in the cafeteria at night than during the day.

Su Ye knew that he had already become the Public Enemy, so he was acting like he was strong and afraid of nothing.

Things were just as he had thought. The commoner students avoided him as much as possible. Although the noble students did not directly criticize him like they did in the afternoon, they kept praising Carlos.

The noble students even walked past Su Ye and loudly say that they would support Carlos in the arbitration tribunal tomorrow and help Carlos clean up the scum in Plato Academy.

Su Ye pretended to not hear or see them. As he ate, he thought about how to defeat Carlos in the arbitration tribunal tomorrow.

After eating, Su Ye silently found a quiet place. As he walked, he used all kinds of methods to calculate what might happen tomorrow, what methods to use to prevent it, and at the same time, dig out the fear in his heart. In short, he used the model frame that he had learned before repeatedly until he felt that his brain had been squeezed dry.

Su Ye took advantage of the night to walk toward the classroom. After taking a few steps, a person suddenly jumped out from behind a tree in front.

Even though he had night vision after obtaining the Magic Eagle’s Eye talent, Su Ye was still shocked.

“What exactly does a lazy ant mean?” the young man with a full beard opened his mouth and asked. The dark circles under his eyes were particularly deep, and his gaze was dim, as if he had been tortured by this question for a long time.

Su Ye did not have the mood to talk about this matter. An impatient look appeared on his face. He instinctively wanted to avoid or scold him, but he realized that his mood was not right. He immediately took a deep breath and thought for a while and said, “You may need to observe for a period of time before you know. Come on, I believe you can do it.”

After saying that, Su Ye went around him and walked forward.

“Why did you lie to me?” That person suddenly opened his mouth.

Su Ye did not expect this ant-playing fool to be so smart. As he walked, he said in a deep voice, “No one can fully grasp the truth. Work hard. When you give up questioning and begin actively pursue the truth is the moment you grow up.”

Su Ye resisted the urge to quicken his pace and slowly returned to the classroom.

Su Ye did not care about that person, because Plato Academy had all kinds of people, even goblins and all kinds of living spirits. Everything was not surprising.

The most important thing now was… to finish his homework first.

Su Ye finished his homework seriously, then wrote and drew on the magic book, preparing for the arbitration tomorrow. He did not go to the meditation place until 10:30 pm to ask for a blanket from his teacher, and slept there comfortably.

Late at night, Huo Te sat on the ground dejectedly, gently wiping his red and swollen eyes.

The magic book was opened in front of him. On it was a letter that had not been sent to Su Ye.

“I’m sorry, I was unable to help you.”

Laker patted Huo Te on the shoulder and said, “After Su Ye was slandered, you’ve been busy and even your studies and practice were affected. Even I guessed that you were looking for the real culprit, so it’s impossible that he didn’t know. However, I didn’t expect that the real culprit would appear, but you have no way to deal with a noble senior.”

“I can still find a way,” Huo Te said.

“With your bunch of warriors whose heads are filled with nothing but resorting to violence, other than finding an opportunity to beat up Carlos, what else can you do?”

“You can actually guess it?” Huo Te raised his head and asked curiously.

Laker said unhappily, “Next time, you should talk to your fellow mage. This kind of thing isn’t a head-on confrontation. It’s useless for you to find warriors.”

“You’re a mage. Can you make me a warrior apprentice?” Huo Te asked.

Laker thought for a moment and said, “You should ask the gods.”

“Sigh… I don’t know if Su Ye will be safe tomorrow,” Huo Te said.

“Do you believe that what he taught you was all from himself?” Laker asked.

“I do!” Huo Te’s voice was very determined.

“Then you should believe that he will be safe and sound,” Laker said.

“Unfortunately, I’m too weak, I can’t help him…” Huo Te muttered to himself.

Laker sighed and said, “You should go to bed early. Since teacher Niedern said that he wants us to go to his place before the arbitration tomorrow, maybe he will help. It’s too late. If I don’t go home now, my sister will be afraid. I won’t be able to accompany you.”

After saying that, Laker covered his mouth and yawned. The dark circles under his eyes on his pale face had become heavier.
