Only Wisdom Awakened - Chapter 114

Chapter 114: Collaboration
‘He won’t do it…

Right?’

The temperature in the room began to fall, and a chilly aura took over as the mana in the teacher’s hands grew stronger and thicker by the second.

At that moment, the young man began to rethink his opinion.

The fear of dying seeped deep into his bones, while the angered man raised his hand to the sky.

A second later, a single instant was all it took for it to…

“Bam”

The alarm of the building went off, and the speakers continued repeating:

“Alarm! Alarm! Building under attack.

Evacuate as soon as possible by following the green signs.

Alarm! Ala…

Even outside the classroom, a layer of ice covered the floor and the walls, making the part of the hallway close to the third magic class look like a refrigerator room.

Just beside the entrance, a frozen statue was standing with its hands covering its face, the details on it were so incredibly refined that it looked alive.

The reason for that was only one: it was.

Logan, watching his classmate without knowing whether he was still alive or not, screamed.

“David!”

His ferocious-looking glare didn’t have anything to do with the innocent and timid personality that he had shown up till then, as he turned his head and looked the teacher dead in the eyes.

“What the hell are you doing?!”

His glare was returned when the teacher stopped looking at his ice creation.

“You all should learn your place!

Understood?

Now… let’s begin with the classroom, I don’t have any time for failures who can’t even free themselves from a simple spell”

‘What? What is he saying right now? He won’t release him? He’ll die if he’s left like that.

Are they all fine with this?!’

Annoyed and angered, He looked around, and contrary to his expectations, the students were also utterly shocked.

Some of them were trembling, while some cried, but this all made something clear:

The teacher wasn’t normally like this.

While the students held superficial hate for the American students, and they didn’t go over the limit of tripping them In class or insulting them.

The same couldn’t be said about the teacher.

He held a deep hatred and obsession over the transferred students, and he went as far as holding one of them at the brink of death.

In the meantime, the people in the operating room were freaking out, not knowing how to proceed.

Five minutes earlier, a red alarm had gone off, and panic had spread throughout the entire room.

“What’s happening?”

“It’s building four! It received an attack equivalent to that of a B-rank warrior”

“What? Are we under attack?!”

“You, search the cams, you, organize a defensive force, and finally you… go and call the dean here”

“Yes sir!

The three people did their jobs impeccably, and in only five minutes, the dean entered the room.

It was a middle-aged man, whose hair had already started growing white.

He wore an old-style hat and some reading glasses.

His long brown coat almost touched the ground, while his elegant black shoes tapped the floor quickly.

‘Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap…’

The sound of his shoes could be heard from the control center, and after a couple of seconds, the handle was finally pulled down.

Quickly pushed, the door opened completely, even smashing against the wall before stopping.

Silence fell upon the room, and the only sound heard at the moment was the tapping of his shoes.

His serious and concerned voice spoke:

“What is the situation?”

The man who was previously giving orders greeted the dean with a bow, before quickly beginning his explanation.

“Sir, the alarm in building four has gone off, we were afraid that it might’ve been an enemy attack, but it was an internal fight…

I’m sorry to tell you you might not be pleased to hear what has happened…

The man talking looked really scared, as if afraid of the reaction the dean would have when hearing what was happening.

“Talk”

“Sir… Mr. Naomi… is currently holding a class of students hostage.”

The dean ran his fingers through his white hair and then held his head up with his hand on his chin.

He stood like that for a few seconds before placing his thumb and his middle finger on his temples, covering his eyes from the shame and touching his head from the headache.

“That troublemaker is at it again… fuck”

“What should we do sir? He won’t get away with it this time… we might lose all the reliability we have If the fact that one of our teachers took a class hostage gets to the ears of the press.

More importantly, David Miller, one of the exchange students from America, is currently under his {eternal freeze} spell.

Hearing this, the old man almost had a heart attack.

“What?! Are you sure?”

The other man lowered his head before replying:

“Yes, we have confirmed it from the cameras”

“Goddammit… this fucking cousin of mine can’t stay out of trouble for a single month can’t he?”

“How should we proceed sir?”

“Don’t inform the American envoys, we have to resolve this on our own.

If this gets out it will be an endless wave of trouble for us.

Take back all those students safely, and send away my cousin for a couple of months, when things within the school have quietened down take him back in.

Also…

You know how his {eternal freeze} works right?

You have an hour to get him back…

Otherwise, we might have some trouble with the American Academy.

Their dean isn’t an SS-class, but she’s a tough nut to crack, especially when talking about legal matters.”

“Yes sir!”

…

‘The {eternal freeze}.

That’s the name of the ultimate spell held by the fifth-tier mage Naomi Ishikawa, teacher of the third magic class in the Japanese academy.

This spell isn’t widely known, since all its usage cases have been covered by me, the dean.

It has the terrifying ability to freeze someone a rank higher than the caster and set a timer to their lives.

The last time I saw its usage, was during the exchange with the European students.

My cousin used his spell on three students after being publicly humiliated by one of their teachers.

At that time, had the spell been known worldwide, we would’ve faced terrible repercussions, but since it was held secret, the matter concluded with the possibility of an assassination from the Red Tyranny.

It was unbelievable at first, but since they had no proof, the Europeans needed to put a hold on the accusations, and after the assault at the American Academy, trying to convince the public that it had been us and not the Tyranny was impossible, reason why they gave up trying to find a culprit.

But if this event gets out….

It won’t be just him facing the consequences, but also us for shielding him”

…

At the same time, Hans had nothing to do,

and having already finished his daily meditation time, he was taking a stroll around the academy.

The buildings were nice looking, and the whole academy felt pleasant to the eye.

The only missing thing to make it a perfect place was a good pizza hut.

Suddenly, a couple of students ran past him, and it took him a bit to realize they shouldn’t have been outside of their classes at that hour.

“Huh? Were they skipping class?

Haizz… students these days… when I was younger…”

All the stupid shit he was thinking about made zero sense when another group of students passed by.

This time, he carefully observed them, and he saw that they were sweating while running with a scared expression painted on their faces.

He began wondering whether something had happened.

A couple of seconds later, a group of three students passed by, and he took the chance to stop them and ask.

“Has something happened?”

He asked, appearing in front of them and halting their running.

The three students watched each other confused.

They began speaking in a language Hans couldn’t understand.

‘Ugh… I forgot my translator’

“Hey, what does he want?”

“He asked if something happened I think”

“Reply hurry up”

“Bro, I don’t know how to speak English, they taught us in school but I didn’t listen for shit”

“Fuck! How do we tell him?”

“Let me do it”

Said the third, who had been silent up till then.

Watching Hans straight in the eyes he began making signs with his hands and speaking the bare minimum of English he knew.

“There! Kaboom! Teacher angry, class trapped”

Hans could somehow understand what the boy said.

“A teacher is holding a class hostage and causing a fuss just because he’s angry?”

The three nodded.

“Alright, thank you”

He said, running towards the direction they came from.

‘Let’s see what’s happening, has one of the teachers lost his mind?

In that case, let me help out, it’s a collaboration between two schools after all.’

These were Hans’s thoughts, but if only he knew what was happening…

if only he knew that this so-called collaboration was being treated like nothing by the other side, who instead was just trying to clean their hands of something one of their teachers had done….

Then, his thoughts and actions might’ve been different.
