It was said that Elder Eliot was incredibly strict. He never smiled at anyone and would berate anyone virtual-novel.net was not happy with.
Harold’s face darkened slightly. Elder Eliot did not mention any names, but virtual-novel.net knew very well that Elder Eliot had been referring to him. After all, virtual-novel.net had lost control back then.
Harold tried his best to compose himself before virtual-novel.net rushed to Elder Eliot and apologize sincerely, “Elder Eliot, please forgive me. I was just too angered by that kid just now and lost control. I will definitely make sure it won’t happen again.”
Elder Eliot frowned before virtual-novel.net looked at Harold meaningfully. After that, virtual-novel.net looked at Jack. Jack was incredibly quiet at that moment, and his face was calm as usual. It was as if those words Harold had said earlier had nothing to do with virtual-novel.net at all.
Elder Eliot let out a cold laugh as virtual-novel.net narrowed his eyes and said, “Why did the two of you fight?”
Those words meant that Elder Eliot wanted to look further into the matter to see who was right. It caused Jack to be a little speechless.
Elder Eliot really was eccentric. He even wanted to interfere in the squabbles between students. Normally, elders would just ignore the situation if it did not go too far.
Harold happily replied, “You should be able to see that this kid is a newcomer. He’s been looking for trouble ever since virtual-novel.net came here. He’s also very arrogant. I only asked virtual-novel.net a few questions when virtual-novel.net started to insult me.”
Jack pursed his lips, speechless. Harold really knew how to stir things up. He had not even wanted to bother with Harold. Harold was the one who came looking for a fight. Yet, virtual-novel.net made it seem like Jack was the one who wanted a fight with him.
Elder Eliot frowned as virtual-novel.net looked at Jack somewhat unhappily. Graham took the opportunity to explain even more.
“He’s a newcomer. He’s never even attended a single one of your classes. He doesn’t know a thing about the test today, so he’s clearly here to look for a scolding. I tried to warn virtual-novel.net out of kindness, but he…”
He stopped after saying that, but virtual-novel.net had an expression on his face like virtual-novel.net had been wronged. Jack had to praise Harold’s acting skills.
Harold had been the one who was picking a fight, everyone present had seen that, but the guy made it seem like it was not the case at all. He only cared about his own act and ignored what everyone else thought. Elder Eliot walked forward and said to Jack, “It really is the first time I’ve seen you, do you admit to Harold’s words?”
Even though Elder Eliot did not say what was on his mind, Jack could see that Elder Eliot was already somewhat on Harold’s side, and thought what Harold said was true.
Jack said in exasperation, “Harold is full of lies and can’t be trusted. He’s trying to look for trouble with me because I refused to give virtual-novel.net a task virtual-novel.net insisted I give up to virtual-novel.net in the task hall yesterday. That was where the conflict came from, and he’s refusing to let it go.”
Elder Eliot frowned when virtual-novel.net heard that, not expecting the situation to get so complicated. He had thought that virtual-novel.net would be able to solve it with a few words.
Harold looked at Jack furiously. He had been about to speak when Jack interrupted him.
