The headmaster's neutral face soon morphed into a broad smile.
"You sure are being bold."
Silence.
The vibrations began.
They were smaller at first, but in a few moments the collective mana in the surroundings hummed with distress.
Haa...
I could feel the pressure being exerted on my body, increasing with every heartbeat.
As I stared back into Nemur's eyes, his smile had never left his face.
But it was that smile which felt chilling.
I knew the risks involved, but still chose to say the words.
"And you sure are being childish."
Though the pressure on me was immense, I didn't let it affect my voice.
My words were even, as was my expression.
Haa...
Nemur's smile disappeared along with the mana pressure that he had exerted moments earlier.
"My apologies."
Huh?
Though I wanted him to back off, wasn't this too much?
"I should have respected my end of the deal."
The headmaster had returned to his previous way of talking, the words sweet as honey.
