"Let this gentleman guide you to the separate rooms," the principal ordered them, standing tall and proud.
But there was a hint of nervousness in his voice.
Even he couldn't escape the responsibility, and he, as well, would be questioned.
Students stood in line, waiting for their turn.

Noa had a lot to do—his entire day was already planned.
Instead of wasting time waiting for his classmates, he wanted to go first.
From the silence, his voice rose—bold and firm.
"Can I go first? I am the one who slaughtered his clones and sent his consciousness back to Velrox."
"Hmm?" A short woman with a buzz cut eyed him. "And what was your reason?"
She asked openly, without taking him to a remote location.
"His betrayal, of course. Why would I attack a teacher if he didn't mess up?" Noa spoke just as calmly, his daring voice echoing throughout the hall.
