28.

He won’t let a guy who picks a fight with him stay still.

Chris’s eyes were the eyes of a beast.

Howard swallowed hard.

It’s true that I was momentarily overwhelmed by Chris’s spirit, but the situation was overwhelmingly in Howard’s favor.

When you have to bite, you have to bite thoroughly.

Howard suppressed his fear with reason.

“If you’re so confident, can I take a look at your desk and bag?”

“What?”

“If you didn’t steal Riel Youngae’s gym uniform, then you wouldn’t have to worry about it, right?”

Suddenly, he pointed at my bag and shot me…

Something was fishy.

Howard seemed too confident to accuse Chris of the crime without any evidence.

“Then open the bag.”

Howard reached into the leather bag hanging next to Chris’s desk.

Chris grabbed that wrist.

“I don’t know why you suspect me, but if I’m innocent, you’re prepared, right? ”

Chris shot a look.

It was a spirit that would have made most men back down, but it was no use against Howard.

Howard secretly put Riel’s gym clothes into Chris’s bag when Blue Hawk was away on a mobile class.

“Chris, if you’re truly innocent, show me your bag.”

From Howard’s unwavering attitude, Chris knew that Howard had something to believe in.

‘Did you put something in my bag?’

I had a bad feeling about this.

“I can’t show you my bag.”

“What, Chris? Are you confessing to being the culprit?”

“I’m not a criminal, but I have no obligation to show you the contents of my personal bag.”

“Don’t make me laugh! You can’t show me because you clearly have gym clothes in your bag.”

Chris took his bag from the desk and hid it behind him.

Howard ran up to Chris and tried to grab his bag violently.

As the two men began to fight, the Blue Hawk cadets started to commotion.

That’s when Sean stepped in.

“Wait a minute, Liel Youngae. You said that your gym clothes were in your locker until this morning, right?”

Riel nods.

“I put it in my locker when I got to school this morning.”

Sean looked around at the cadets and spoke persuasively.

“Chris has been with me all day, from this morning until now. When on earth did he steal Riel Youngae’s gym uniform?”

Several cadets began to agree with Sean’s words.

“I also saw Chris and Sean hanging out together.”

“Then Chris has an alibi, right?”

“Are you really just upset and don’t want to show your bag?”

Howard’s expression turned grim as things didn’t go as planned.

“Shut up! Alibi and all, if you open Chris’s bag, it’ll all be over. Give me your bag!”

Howard rushed in and tried to forcibly take Chris’s bag.

“Over there, over there!”

A normally quiet, timid female student suddenly opened her mouth.

“I was feeling sick today, so I rested in the infirmary and returned to the Blue Hawk class. There was no one in the class because it was a mobile class. But Howard and Bill were doing something near Chris’s seat. Then they ran out of the class, but now that I think about it, I think they had something in their bag.”

“What, what did you say?”

I’m sure you checked to make sure no one was there.

Howard was so nervous and hurriedly putting his gym clothes into Chris’ bag that he didn’t notice the girl watching him near the door.

The situation suddenly started to change in the opposite direction with the female student’s testimony.

“Howard. I thought it was strange that you suddenly became obsessed with bags… What did you put in your bag?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Your seat is quite far from mine. And so is your warm Bill’s seat. Don’t even think about making excuses. Did you do something to my bag?”

Howard felt a cold sweat forming on the back of his neck.

Things were getting serious.

“Let’s see what Howard put in my bag?”

Chris tried to open the bag.

“Oh, no!”

Howard tried to take Chris’s bag, this time with the intention of making it impossible for him to open it.

But Chris quickly dodged and opened the bag.

Bam.

A female cadet’s gym uniform fell into the hallway from an open bag.

Howard’s expression hardened.

Chris picked up his gym clothes and walked over to Liel Youngae.

“Is this the gym uniform that Riel Youngae lost?”

“I wrote my name on the inside of the top.”

Chris looked inside his gym shorts and saw the name Riel Hayes written on them.

“K, Chris, you put Liel Youngae’s gym clothes in my bag on purpose to set a trap for me! ”

Howard howled like a wounded animal.

“What kind of nonsense are you talking about? In the first place, the alibi that I was with Sean proves that I didn’t steal Riel Youngae’s gym uniform. Howard, why did you keep insisting on seeing my bag in the first place? I thought it was suspicious. If you wanted to hide it, there are many places other than the bag, like a locker. How did you think you hid it in the bag from the beginning?”

“What the? You’re the one who should be being unreasonable… .”

Howard squeezed his voice.

“Well. Who on earth is being unreasonable? I didn’t have time to steal Riel Youngae’s gym clothes in the morning, and I didn’t even put anything in her bag. On the other hand, Howard, you and Bill were seen hanging around my bag at my seat.”

Howard had no room to argue with Chris’s logic.

“Tell me, Howard. What were you doing in my seat? You were hiding the gym clothes that you had hidden in Riel Youngae’s locker in my bag!”

Chris’s logical reasoning was the deciding factor.

Although there was no hard evidence, the cold gaze of the Blue Hawk cadets viewed Howard as a cowardly sex offender.

“Oh, no… I didn’t do anything so shameless… .”

“And…what is this fluid on my gym uniform?”

Chris said as he showed the cadets the body fluid on Riel Youngae’s gym uniform.

“The gym uniform smells strongly of night flowers. No way… Howard, what on earth did you do with Riel Young-ae’s gym uniform!”

The cadets were in an uproar.

A body fluid that smells like night flowers that is stuck to Riel Youngae’s gym uniform.

The cadets had a mental image of Howard masturbating using Riel’s gym uniform as a material.

“Ah… Uwueeek… .”

“Is it real?”

“Howard Youngshik, I didn’t see it like that.”

“The real pervert was Howard Youngsik.”

It’s over.

Howard was perceived as a completely unscrupulous sex offender.

“Guys! No! This, this is Chris’s plot!”

Howard made excuses in a flustered manner, but no one believed him.

Howard looked around and his eyes met with Liel Youngae’s.

“Lee, Riel Yeong-ae! Yeong-ae trusts me? I didn’t do it! That bastard Chris set a trap! ”

Riel backed away with a fearful expression on her face as Howard looked on.

“Please don’t come near me.”

“Young-ae! I’ve caught stalkers and chased away all the guys who were hanging around! How could you ignore me when I’ve worked so hard for you!”

Howard grabbed Riel’s arm firmly.

“Oh, it hurts! Let me go!”

“Young-ae, tell me you trust me!”

Chris got between Howard and Riel and pushed Howard out of the way.

“Let’s leave it at that! Liel Youngae is scared!”

Howard’s eyes opened wide in shock at Chris’s words.

“What? Liel Youngae is scared of me?”

Howard stared at Riel.

As Chris said, Riel was hiding behind Chris, shivering.

Her eyes, looking at Howard, were filled with nothing but disgust and fear.

“Ahh…!”

Howard felt the impact as if he was falling down a thousand-foot cliff.

Riel Youngae, whom he had a crush on for so long, thought of him as a mean and fearful person.

It felt like everything about me was being completely denied.

dump.

Howard fell to his knees and collapsed on the spot.

After receiving a call from Chris, Professor Berriol came to the Blue Eagle Class with the Academy’s leading officers.

The leaders were staff members who served as guards within the academy.

After hearing the whole story, Professor Berriol ordered the supervisor to take Howard and Bill to the faculty office.

“I would never have guessed that Howard would commit such a crime.”

Professor Berriol sighed.

Howard was once ranked 3rd in the academy and had awakened to the rare combat profession of Arknight.

Howard had once been a promising freshman with high expectations from his professors, so his downfall was shocking.

“What happens to Howard?”

“You can’t be in the same class as Riel Youngae like this. You’ll be transferred to a different class and suspended for two months. Of course, you’ll be prevented from approaching Riel Youngae.”

Sexual crimes were strictly punished at the academy, where the children of the kingdom’s nobility gathered.

No, aside from that, Howard was already practically socially dead.

From now on, wherever Howard went, he would not be treated like a human being, but rather as a pervert.

‘Howard… where on earth did it all get so distorted?’

As I once thought of them as rivals,

Chris felt that Howard’s downfall left a bitter aftertaste.

Chris sighed as he watched Howard’s back as he was dragged away by the leaders, both arms held by them.
