Chapter 10: The IQ of the Trouble-Making Sartre 1
"It's all my fault! Wuwu... If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been discovered to have superpowers, and you wouldn't have been called a monster, wuwu..."
As soon as I left the crowd, the momentum I had just maintained collapsed in an instant. Whenever I thought about how Norn had stood in front of the crowd to defend me, and how he, who always disliked getting close to strangers, had to endure everyone's groundless accusations and insults, my heart ached so much that I felt like I couldn't breathe.
If possible, I really wish I had never come to Ailey College and had never provoked Yao Shanshan, then wouldn't all this have happened?
"Fool! If that were the case, we wouldn't know each other!"
A voice interrupted my thoughts, and when I looked up into the blue eyes that reflected my figure, I realized that I had said everything I was thinking.
Yes, Norn was right. If that were the case, I wouldn't have known this weird and arrogant alien, and wouldn't have found a sweet love. But...
I looked into his focused and doting eyes, and felt him wiping the tears from my face with his warm hands, but I could no longer suppress the panic deep in my heart.
"So what should we do now? Everyone will think you are monsters. Will they kick you out of school?"
I heard myself asking the question that I had always been reluctant to think about in a trembling voice.
Seeing how crazy everyone is right now, if no explanation is given, who knows how bad things will get. What if word gets out that there are four people in Ailey College who don't belong to this world? Then...
I no longer dared to imagine the possible consequences, and tears began to flow out like water from a faucet.
Hearing my question, Norn suddenly stopped wiping my tears, and his expression instantly became heavy. He raised his head and looked in the direction we had just fled, as if recalling the uncontrollable situation just now.
"This matter must be resolved, otherwise..." A trace of gloom flashed across his eyes, but was quickly replaced by determination, and then he held my hand, "Don't be afraid! Let's go back to Liuguang Castle and listen to everyone's opinions. No matter what happens, the study group will face it together, and I won't let anyone hurt you."
His words seemed to carry a reassuring courage, and my heart finally slowly settled down.
Yes, no matter what, as long as we are together, we can face all the difficulties together.
In order to avoid being followed by anyone, Norn did not dare to use the portal skill along the way. We walked around the grove seven or eight times, and after making sure that there was no prying eyes nearby, we passed through the mechanism on the wall and returned to the Flowing Light Castle.
As soon as I entered the door, I received a big hug from Xiang Qian.
"Woo woo! Jenny, you're finally back. Did they do anything to you?"
Soon after, Su Enxue came over. She pulled me from Xiang Qianqian's arms and looked me up and down, front and back, several times before she finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad you're okay. We were all so worried about you. Fortunately, Nuoen got there in time."
My nose felt sore and deep in my heart I felt like I was suddenly seeing my family after being wronged.
"It's okay, I'm fine." My voice was choked with sobs, but this time it was because of emotion rather than fear.
Listening to Qianqian and Enxue's concerned words, and looking at the warm gazes of Tian Yifeng and Lucifer behind them, I lowered my head with tears in my eyes.
I haven't felt this kind of feeling of being valued, cared for, and treated as a family member for a long time.
At this moment, all the previous sieges and Yao Shanshan’s aggressiveness became unimportant. It seemed that once I returned here, I had the courage to face everything.
When I finally calmed down, I learned from Qian Qian's narration that she and Eun-seol were also questioned by everyone, but because they were senior students and had many good friends in school, they were not besieged.
"Luckily, this time, Mo Ran, the little megaphone, found out Yao Shanshan's whereabouts in time and told me on the phone, so I was able to notify Nuo En to come and rescue you. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened. Jenny, you must be scared, right?" She patted her chest fearfully, and then stamped her feet angrily. "It's all that Yao Shanshan's fault. She used to be a member of the student union, so she thinks she's so great. She's meddling in other people's business. We didn't provoke her, so why is she always picking on us? It's so abominable!"
Qianqian pulled me to sit on the sofa. Enxue carefully poured me a cup of hot water, then raised her head and gently stopped Qianqian from venting: "What's the point of saying this now? The most important thing is what we should do next."
For a moment, everyone was silent.
No one had expected that something like this would happen one day. The identities of the study group members were originally a secret, but now that the secret has been known by so many people, how can we survive this crisis?
"Alas! Hua Qianye has to accompany Man Luo to another city to visit Man Luo's mother at this time. If he were here, with the help of the flowers and plants, we would definitely not be in such a mess..."
Qianqian pulled his already messy hair in annoyance, looking extremely depressed.
"If it really doesn't work, I can use magic to make everyone shut up. Let them never speak again and see what else they can do!"
In the depressed atmosphere, Lucifer, who had been leaning on the sofa, waved his hands fiercely. Anger almost burned in his eyes. It seemed that he was also very angry.
"If I could, I would use the portal to go over and beat up those people. But what's the use? If we do that, wouldn't it give those people a handle to prove that we are different from them?"
Unexpectedly, the first person to react was Norn. He had kept his head down since he entered the door, and no one knew what he was thinking. Although he rejected Lucifer's proposal, from his helpless look , we could tell that he had not thought of any good solution.
"Then what should we do? We can't let them keep guessing like this, can we?" Qian Qian couldn't help but kick the coffee table in front of him, and then directed his criticism at Tian Yifeng who had remained silent. "Hey! Tian Yifeng, don't you always say that your biggest advantage is your fast-moving brain? Why didn't you say anything when something really happened? Could it be that your brain is rusty and stuck?"
“Hey… Qianqian, don’t talk nonsense.” Tian Yifeng, who was finally alarmed, reached out and rubbed Qianqian’s messy hair. A gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but when facing everyone, she quickly changed her expression to a serious one. Her voice sounded full of convincing power, “From the time I learned about this until now, I have been thinking…”
At this point, he paused for a moment, his eyes slowly swept over Norn and Lucifer, and then he continued under everyone's urging gaze: "You may have forgotten one thing. When we first came to Earth, we signed a contract with the Avery College. We promised not to use our abilities to harm ordinary people on Earth, and to be a student at the Avery College. Correspondingly, while the Avery College constrains us, it must also provide us with protection and help."
Tian Yifeng stopped talking here, and everyone showed a thoughtful expression.
What exactly does he want to express?
I have some guesses.
On the other hand, Qianqian, who was unwilling to use his brain, complained unhappily: "Tian Yifeng, you are so annoying. If you have any ideas, just say it directly..."
"Okay! Then let's go to the principal and ask him for some advice!"
Before Qianqian finished speaking, Norn, who finally understood, stood up. A ray of hope flashed in his calm eyes, and his whole face seemed to be covered with a layer of brilliance. Then, under Tian Yifeng's approving gaze, he nodded at him: "Thank you, Tian Yifeng!"
"Well, since it was me who caught Yao Shanshan's attention, then I'll go too!" I stood up and walked over to hold Noen's hand.
"Let's go too!" Lucifer and Su Enxue also reacted and stood behind us arm in arm.
Everyone smiled at each other, and a warm feeling was floating around.
Apart from--
"Oh my! What's going on? Why do we have to go find the principal? I don't understand at all!" Qianqian was confused and jumped up and down anxiously, but he rushed over and stood beside us, "But no matter what, if you want to go, you must not leave me behind!"
"And I!"
Tian Yifeng joined in last. He glanced at Qianqian with a smile, put his arm around her shoulders and said to her, "You'll understand when you get there. If you still don't understand, I'll tell you again!"
Then, he looked up at Norn , "I think it must be a complete mess outside now. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is best for us not to appear in front of everyone. So, we can only rely on you, Norn."
"No problem!" Norn held my hand tightly, glanced at everyone's faces with gratitude, turned around and shouted, "Let's go!"
Accompanied by a familiar light, everyone followed Norn hand in hand and walked into the arbitrary door that appeared out of thin air in an orderly manner.
Target - the principal's office!
