Chapter 208 Silas's unexpected arrogance

However, Lily was expecting this kind of reaction from her teacher after hearing her words and she wasn't surprised in the least. Therefore, she just listened to her teacher's shouting and shook her head.

'Even if I did explain my reason for destroying my mana circles and mana circuit, she won't be able to understand it...' Lily sighed inwardly.

As Rowena continued to lecture Lily for her decision, Lord Ivan, Lady Eliza, Lady Diana, and last but not least, Silas, could seemingly understand what Rowena was feeling right now, knowing one of her very best students had crippled herself.

Sigh!

They could only sigh at Lily's decision to cripple herself by destroying her mana circle and mana circuit, which for mages was even more precious than their own life. How could such a genius student make such a foolish decision?

A moment later, Rowena looked at Lily with a disappointed expression and said, "Lily, I'm very disappointed in you for making such a foolish decision, and as your teacher, I feel very embarrassed knowing one of my very best students has made such a foolish decision."

Lily lowered her head after hearing Rowena's disappointed voice. After all, Rowena had been her teacher until a few months ago, and she had never treated her badly, even considering her as her own little sister. n(/o--V/-e./l(.B.-I(-n

Although Lily's decision seemed extremely foolish in the eyes of Rowena, Lord Ivan, Lady Eliza, Lady Diana, and Silas, Lily herself knew that her decision was anything but wise.

"Lily, as one of the teachers at the magic academy, I'm also very disappointed at your decision as a genius ice mage. I think you should be judged by the academy for making such a foolish decision," Silas said to Lily with a serious tone, thinking it would be a good opportunity to make fun of Yuan's woman, since he disliked him for making him lose face before many.

When Rowena heard Silas's words, she looked at him with a strange expression and said, "Mr. Silas, aren't you exaggerating a bit? We can't involve the academy in this since it was her own choice."

"Even if it was her own choice, we can't let this go since she is a student of our academy. It will ruin the reputation of our academy if word gets out about this," Silas replied to Rowena.

With a serious and arrogant voice, he continued, "We not only lost a student, but we lost a talent that only appears once in a thousand years. In my eyes, Lily committed a huge crime by crippling herself."

After that, he looked at Lily with an arrogant smile on his face and said, "We have to take her under our custody and bring her back to the academy to be judged by the principal and the other teachers of the academy."

Rowena looked at Silas with a surprised expression after hearing his arrogant voice. Was this the same kind-hearted Silas she had known for more than ten years? He sounded so arrogant right now.

When Lord Ivan, Lady Eliza, and Lady Diana heard Silas's arrogant words, they looked at him with a surprised expression and gave him a look of pity, guessing what would happen to him in a moment, since he dared to say that he would take Yuan's woman to be judged by the academy.

"It seems that the scene from a few moments ago will be repeated again any moment now..." Madam Layla sighed inwardly as she shook her head, knowing what would happen next.

James sat in the corner, looking at Silas with a blank expression and cried inwardly, 'Does this idiot have a death wish by offending my brother-in-law? The one who tried to be arrogant in front of my brother-in-law a moment ago is still lying unconscious, and here I thought the people from the Magic Academy were wise, but it turned out to be quite the opposite as he can't even read the room.'

Madam Layla looked at Yuan and saw that he was very calm at the moment. However, she knew very well that behind that calm look of his was a monster in rage. She waited for the right moment to make a move, and it could be any moment now.

However, when she shifted her eyes to Yuan's wives, she saw that both Anna and Grace were staring at Silas with rage and killing intent, which sent a chill through her body.

'This looks very bad! Both Anna and Grace look very angry at Silas. I hope Yuan doesn't end up killing him by mistake.' Madam Layla cried inwardly.

At this moment, Silas looked at Rowena with a smile and said, "Miss Rowena, I think you've been very soft on your students, which is why Lily here didn't even consider your feelings before making herself cripple. I'm not wrong in thinking she needs to be judged by the Academy. It will be an example to other students in the academy."

"Mr. Silas! I think you should keep quiet about this matter. Remember, she is my student, not yours. So, I don't think you have the right to decide what to do with her." Rowena gave Silas a stern look as she said that, growing increasingly annoyed by his arrogant behavior.

Silas was stunned to see that Rowena's attitude toward him had changed, and now she was even giving him a hostile look.

'Why is she behaving like this toward me? I'm thinking good for the academy; she should feel happy about it instead.' Silas was puzzled by the change in Rowena's behavior towards him.

'Miss Rowena, like it or not, I will make sure that Lily gets punished by the academy. After all, her lover greatly humiliated me in front of so many people. I will not let this humiliation slide so easily.' Silas thought, believing that Rowena would only be sad about her former student getting punished by the academy.

But once the principal praised Silas for his contribution to the academy, she would treat him normally again.

Silas shook his head and arrogantly said, looking at Lily with a wicked smile, "No, Miss Rowena, you're thinking about this in the wrong way. It's a matter of the reputation of our academy, and we can't let this go unpunished. I will make sure that Lily receives her punishment for the crime she committed."

As Silas finished his sentence, the temperature of the room drastically dropped, and the air became thicker.

"Who the hell do you think you are to punish my woman?" Yuan spoke in a cold voice, narrowing his eyes at Silas.

When Silas heard Yuan's cold voice, he felt a chill running through his entire body, as though he was in front of a being beyond his imagination.

'What's this sudden chill I'm feeling? Why do I feel fear for a kid with no magic power at all? What is this situation?' Many questions raced through Silas's mind as he felt the impact of Yuan's cold voice.

Rowena was not an exception either. She also felt a sudden chill run through her entire body as she heard Yuan's voice and stared into his eyes.

'What is this feeling I'm getting? Why do I feel so much fear after looking into his eyes? He doesn't even have mana in his body, how is it possible for me to fear him like this?' Rowena muttered inwardly, her heart rate increasing as though it wanted to burst out of her chest.

Meanwhile, Lord Ivan, Lady Eliza, and Lady Diana's faces lit up as they heard Yuan's cold voice addressing Silas.

Given the strained situation between the kingdom and the magic academy, they were looking forward to Silas getting put in his place by Yuan.

They would relish hearing Silas's miserable screams of pain as Yuan continued to confront him, hoping it would end with Silas either unconscious or defeated.

"Y-You bastard! H-How dare you talk like that to me? Who do you think I am?" Silas shouted at Yuan in a fit of rage, as if he wanted to strike him down immediately.

However, since it wasn't his territory, he managed to hold himself back and settled for shouting.

'I'll definitely make him pay if he utters one more disrespectful word towards me...' Silas vowed to himself, coldly locking eyes with Yuan, his intent to harm clear.

"You're just a lowly mage from a pathetic academy who doesn't know anything about the world. You're nothing more than a pitiful existence. Are you even worthy to judge my woman?" Yuan retorted with a cold voice.

Silas's face immediately contorted into an ugly expression after hearing Yuan's cutting words.

"I'm a Master Rank Mage and a teacher at the kingdom's prestigious Magic Academy! How dare you say to me that I'm nothing but a pathetic existence in this world?! I'll kill you, you bastard!"

With that declaration, Silas abruptly stood up from the sofa, anger surging through him. He shouted at Yuan, a mix of rage and determination, as he swiftly retrieved his wand from his magic pouch.

"I was thinking of sparing your life considering you're very young and ignorant, but I cannot tolerate this insult at all so prepare to die!" Silas shouted at Yuan with a cold voice, pointing his magic wand at him.

"Mr. Silas, please calm down, we're here for a negotiation re..." Rowena tried to intervene, but she couldn't finish her sentence.

"No, Miss Rowena, don't interfere in this matter. I have to teach this ignorant kid a lesson today or I won't be getting a peaceful sleep at night," Silas said, stopping Rowena from finishing her words.

Madam Layla and her children looked at the scene and couldn't help but shake their heads.

'It seems Silas won't stop until he gets a proper beating from Yuan... It can't be helped now...' Madam Layla thought.

'He is just a teacher, why does he need to act so arrogant? He is only trying to dig his own grave,' Rose thought with a sigh.

Silas then turned his attention to Yuan, who was still sitting on the sofa in a relaxed manner. Around the tip of the wand, a light green glow appeared, and the whole living hall became windy.

"Now it's time to die, bastard!... HUNDRED SWORDS OF WIND!..." With a wicked grin, Silas shouted at Yuan, and numerous swords made of compressed wind appeared in the air, pointing at Yuan and his wives.

'T-This is... Isn't this one of the deadliest attack spells of the wind attribute? Is Silas really trying to kill this young man and the ladies with him?' Rowena looked at the scene with a look of disbelief on her face. She never expected Silas to be this wicked and cold-blooded.

The wind blades quickly launched at Yuan and his wives with incredible speed and precision, intent on shredding them into pieces.

Seeing this, Yuan gently placed Xi Meili on the sofa and stood up. The wind swords approached him in slightly slow motion, giving him enough time to draw his sword and intercept every one of them.

Suddenly, the massive sword Empyreal Oblivion materialized out of thin air in his grasp. He carefully counted all the advancing wind swords, totaling 98 of these razor-sharp constructs approaching him.

'They are very sharp and can easily cut through thick steel, as expected of a master rank mage. He's on a totally different level than the pig I slaughtered here...' Yuan muttered to himself inwardly, surprised by the sheer sharpness of the wind swords.
