Chapter Seventy-One: Wood is Dissuaded
"Come with me. Seeing that the three of them had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter, Professor Shivara said with a blank expression, and the more expressionless he was, the more angry he was. Mante was already very afraid of Professor Shivara, but now seeing him like this, his heart was even more worried to death. I don't know if he already knew about them stealing magic potions.
"Where are you taking us?" Wood saw that the place Professor Shivara was taking them to was not a place they were familiar with, and did not understand what Professor Shivara was going to do.
"Why, now you know you're scared, how come you don't know you're scared when you leave the Bird Whisper Academy and enter the dangerous forbidden zone?" Professor Shivara glanced back at Wood, the warning in his eyes already obvious.
"Just this afternoon, this place was invaded by dark magic, and although it didn't cause any substantial damage, they did so, which is the biggest provocation to the Bird Silent Academy. They're stronger than we thought, and their defenses are easy to breach. Luckily, we arrived in time to expel them. But then I found out that the three of you were missing, and everyone knew that the three of you were missing, and we searched many places, but we couldn't find you.
Everyone speculated that the dark magic had taken you away, and everyone was panicked when they heard the news. However, you are now here safe and sound, and say that you have just gone for a walk where you should not be. Do you think people will believe you when you say that, or will they be more suspicious of you?" Professor Shivara kept his eyes on Wood as he spoke, much to Wood's uneasiness.
"Professor Shivara, please believe us, we really don't know about those dark magic, we also accidentally entered the forbidden area, what I said is true, please believe us. Su Rui said eagerly, this incident reminded her of everyone's speculation about Lilia at that time, which made Su Rui very uneasy.
"Are you sure it's dark magic and nothing else?" Wood didn't know why he suddenly said that, and Wood felt uncomfortable listening to Professor Shivara take a bite of dark magic.
"Do you think it could be someone else?" asked Professor Shivala.
"If they're really dark magic, and they can easily break the defenses here, then they must be very strong. Then why did they leave without doing anything? Isn't that unconscionable?" Wood said analytically, since it was dark magic, then they must have their purpose of attacking.
Shivara led the three of them all the way to where he lived, and he didn't pay much attention to the speculations of the few of them, which made Wood feel uneasy, as if something was going to happen.
Professor Shivala took Wood and the others to his place, which, unlike Headmaster Brooke, gave Professor Shivala a very comfortable and relaxing feeling.
"Professor Shivara, is this where you live? Su Rui and Mante were seeing where the professors lived for the first time, Su Rui said.
"yes, it doesn't look much different from where we live. Mante also said that the only difference should be that the space here is much larger than the family lives in.
"I'm the same person as you, and of course live in the same place, which is not surprising. Professor Shivala said mildly, but there was a kind of helplessness in his tone.
"Professor Shivara, do you have anything to say to us?" Wood didn't think Professor Shivara would take a few of them on a tour of his room for no reason.
Professor Shivara gave Wood a deep look, a helplessness in his eyes.
"I want to... I think you should probably consider that you might not be a good fit here. I mean, maybe you can go to school in the wizarding world, and if you agree, I can make you a recommendation. Professor Shivara said suddenly, which made Wood and the others look dazed.
"Professor Shivala, is there something wrong with what we did, and if so, we can accept any punishment, please take back what you just said. Su Rui thought that Professor Shivara must have known about their secret exchange of magic potions, and then they broke into the forbidden area, so Professor Shivara wanted to fire Wood.
"Yes, Professor Shivara, while it wasn't right for us to steal your magic potions, or to accidentally break into the forbidden area to save Suri, we did all of these things together. If you want to punish, you can't punish Wood alone, we accept any punishment, but please don't let Wood go, because I believe Wood will become a great magician in the future. Mante said incoherently, thinking of the punishment, he felt that he had come to school here to feel all kinds of punishment.
"I don't think so, to be a great magician, you need not only courage, but more importantly, talent. Based on Wood's current performance in various classes, he doesn't even pass. Judging by what you've done today, I can fire him effortlessly. But given Wood's face, I think it's better for you to bring it up yourself, so that I can make a recommendation for you to go to a school in the wizarding world. If you insist on refusing, then I can only do what is sold, and all three of you will be dismissed. Professor Shivara looked at Wood helplessly, waiting for Wood's reply.
"Why does it have to be me?" Wood would end up leaving no matter which way he chose, and I wonder why Professor Shivaka was here?
"I think you should know very well in your heart, you shouldn't have come here in the first place, your arrival was a mistake, and I'm just making up for it now. Professor Shivara said meaningfully, and as soon as his words came out, Wood suddenly raised his head and looked at the professor in front of him with burning eyes.
Eyes met, lightning flashed, and Wood seemed to understand everything.
"Why did you do this to Wood, what did he do to Wood, what did he do wrong, did you have to do it?"
"Did you give it to Wood on purpose?" Mante asked, not understanding why they hadn't given up on Wood in the first place since they didn't want Wood to stay here, and even Headmaster Brooke was a parent who persuaded Wood to come and go to school here.
