“How dare you slander my student!” Gregory shouted and glared at Su Ye.

This burly middle-aged man looked more like a warrior than a mage.

Many of the teachers present looked gloomy and looked at Su Ye with displeasure.

Only Niedern was relieved.

Since Su Ye dared to make this claim, it meant that there was a solution.

Su Ye looked at Gregory and asked, “Who gave you the wisdom to determine the outcome so prematurely?”

“I have enough wisdom!” Gregory said.

“The person with wisdom is thinking,” Su Ye smiled.

Part of the teachers stared at Su Ye, deep in thought.

Larence didn’t speak. Instead, he stared at Su Ye, carefully observing him.

One did not ascend the saint-level with emotions.

Even if it was related to a student of his disciple, Larence’s inner turmoil only lasted for an instant.

He discovered that when he first saw Su Ye in the classroom, Su Ye’s expression was somewhat heavy. There were hints of doubt, anger, and fear. This reaction was very normal.

But it wasn’t the normal reaction of a thief. It was the normal reaction of a victim.

After entering the Academy Administration Hall, Larence keenly noticed that after Su Ye’s right thumb and index finger were double-tapped, his attitude changed, but he still pretended to be calm.

It was not until he repeatedly read Carlos’ article that Su Ye underwent an immense change. His gaze became more determined and his expression became more relaxed.

Larence had even used his magic power to observe Su Ye’s heartbeat and pulse rate. He had also observed Carlos’ before.

If he were to judge solely based on the reaction of his body, the result he obtained would be very absurd. Carlos might not be a liar, but he was more likely the liar than Su Ye.

Emotionally, he didn’t want to believe that his disciple’s student would do something like that. What’s more, Carlos had submitted his essay in advance.

“What… Do you want to do?” Larence asked slowly.

The other mages suddenly realized that they had been fooled by Su Ye’s appearance. Only Larence had discovered something deeper. They sighed in their hearts, “As expected of a saint.”

Su Ye laughed, then said, “Since both of our papers have been submitted to the Magic Council, then we should ask the Magic Council to question and… Judge.”

Su Ye’s words were clearly as powerful as a saint-level spell, but everyone present was completely silent.

Su Ye was going to blow this matter up!

If this matter was resolved in the administrative office, then no matter what the outcome was, the Plato Academy could suppress this matter.

However, if this matter was handled in the name of the Magic Council, no matter who was right or wrong, Plato Academy’s reputation would be tarnished.

Academies like the noble academies and the other city-states that were competing with Plato Academy would definitely spare no effort in smearing its reputation.

If it were any other time, they would not have cared. However, this was a very crucial moment. The academy was secretly involved in a matter that would affect the future of the entire Athens city. They did not dare to take such a risk.

Larence thought for a long time and said, “If you take down the article, we will let bygones be bygones.”

“I am not wrong. Why should I take it down?” Su Ye retorted.

After a while again, Larence said, “There is an undercurrent in Athens now. Plato Academy cannot withstand this unrest.”

Su Ye asked in surprise, “First of all, I am not sure what undercurrent there is now. Secondly, the great mages present here should not be blind. They should be able to see that, whether it’s the overwhelming rumors or the nobles joining hands to censure me, whether it’s Carlos’ sudden attack or forcing me to withdraw from school, they are all extraordinary! Lastly, and most importantly, I would like to ask everyone, is it me or Carlos who is causing the unrest?”

The hall was completely silent. For a moment, no one could refute him.

Niedern nodded his head and realized that something was wrong, so he quickly stopped.

“You shouldn’t have submitted that article,” Gregory said in a low voice.

“I think Carlos shouldn’t have been born. If he had been strangled at birth, today’s incident wouldn’t have happened,” Su Ye said rudely.

The other teachers didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This Su Ye was too eloquent.

“Watch your words!” In the end Gregory couldn’t argue with a second-year magic apprentice.

Su Ye slowly glanced at all the mages present and asked a devil-like question, “Do you think Carlos is trying to use me as a breakthrough point to deliberately cause a great disturbance in Plato Academy?”

“You… are talking nonsense!” Gregory slammed the table and almost cursed.

Niedern was stunned. Did he underestimate this kid again? This was not like a victim’s counterattack. This was essentially putting the blame of the troubles of the entire Greece on Carlos.

The other teachers were also stunned by Su Ye’s question.

They did not think about this at all. Even rationally they told themselves that this possibility did not exist. However, once Su Ye asked this question, their brains would instinctively complete this question.

Was what Su Ye said right?

Was this possible?

Su Ye spread his hands and said, “I also know how to improvise speaking, and in fact, I might even be just a little better than Carlos. “So, in order to clear my name, in order to reveal the truth to Plato Academy, I suggest that we go through the normal procedures and let the Magic Council conduct the final arbitration!”

At this moment, everyone understood Su Ye’s true intentions.

At first, he only mentioned judgement, but now he was talking about arbitration.

Since Carlos was causing trouble, then he would blow it up even further!

“I agree!” Gregory immediately shouted.

Larence turned his head and stared at his disciple.

At first, Gregory was still angry, but as the seconds passed and Larence’s gaze remained unmoving, Gregory could not help but recall the feeling he had when he was a student.

Gregory slowly lowered his head, not saying a single word.

The others immediately turned to look in other directions.

The protector of an ordinary city-state in Greece was usually a saint.

Even in places like Athens, Sparta, Thebes, Macedonia, Troy, Crete and Syracuse where virtuosos were common, saint-level masters held an important position.

Larence turned to look at Su Ye. His face was friendly as he said, “I hope that for the sake of the greater good, you can make the sacrifice temporarily.”

Su Ye nodded, “As long as student Carlos also makes the sacrifice for the sake of the greater good, I will definitely make my sacrifice too. If he doesn’t care about the greater good, I can only make him accept the judgement of justice!”

Niedern really wanted to know what Su Ye had learned this summer. It seemed as though not only had he learned drama, but he had also learned the essence of eloquence.

Larence looked helpless.

Gregory pointed at Su Ye and looked at Larence and said, “Teacher, did you hear that? It’s not that we don’t want to calm things down, it’s that Su Ye is aggressive!”

“Us? It seems that someone is acting as both an athlete and an umpire!” Su Ye retorted unceremoniously.

Many teachers frowned, but no one refuted him. Although Su Ye’s words were unpleasant, Gregory had said too much. Look at Niedern who was clearly very concerned about his students but almost did not speak. This was how a qualified teacher should act.

Gregory looked at Su Ye angrily. His eyes bulged out like a goldfish’s, but he didn’t dare say another word.
