Chapter Seventy-Four: Wood Is Ostracized
"Please don't look at Wood like that, this has nothing to do with Wood. We weren't there when it happened, and I'm sure you noticed it at the time. Su Rui felt that everyone's eyes on Wood were very unfriendly, and she was very angry.
Hearing Su Rui's words, Mark stood up in the crowd: "As far as we know, you have seen those dark forces attacking our academy in the woods before, but you did not tell us the whole thing at that time. That's why we were a little bit of a guard when they attacked the Bird Whisper Academy, and if Wood wasn't with them, then why didn't he tell us about it in the first place?"
"First of all, Wood didn't see it alone, Mante and I were there. We were just looking for insects for the Moongrass when we came back and accidentally encountered an unidentified object on the way. At that time, we didn't see each other's appearance clearly, let alone what each other's identities were. Professor Shivara also knew about this, and as for why he didn't tell everyone, it was because Professor Shivara didn't want everyone to worry about it, so he didn't say it. Su Rui explained that seeing Mark's treacherous face, Su Rui wanted to close his mouth, and it was better to never speak again.
"That's right, Su Rui and I were here at the time. Mante stood up and said, but their words seemed so pale to everyone.
"I'm sure Wood isn't that kind of person, and you must have misunderstood him. A weak voice came from the hall, and everyone couldn't help but turn back to find the owner of the voice.
"It's me, I think Wood is a very good guy, he would never betray the Bird Silent Academy, you all misunderstood him. Peckney saw that everyone was looking at her, and whispered that she always liked to keep her head down when she spoke, and this time she also hung her head, not daring to raise her eyes to look up at everyone and Wood.
"Haha, haha. There was a hilarious sound in the hall, and seeing that everyone was laughing at him, Pekney lowered his head nervously, and pulled his clothes with his hands restlessly.
"Wood, is this your demagoguery, through such a ...... A cowardly girl?" Mark said mockingly.
Wood hadn't spoken since he had entered, and when he heard Mark say this, the anger in his heart began to burn.
"Really, how don't I think she's cowardly. But you, you all seem to be fearless, but the truth is, you've just experienced a false alarm and you've been so frightened that you've started talking nonsense here. You only care about my fate, and you think that you will be safe only if you get rid of all the suspects. In fact, you are the most cowardly people, because in your hearts you are never ready to confront the enemy.
If you look at the way you just looked, you were very brave when you laughed at others, but when you faced the enemy, you just blindly hid and retreated. And I'm so ashamed of you that you're still laughing at people here, Mark. If I were you, I'd find a place where no one was and crash to death. It seems that this time Wood was really angry, and he said so much in one breath, and he hit the nail on the head every word.
"Wood, you kid dare to slander me like this, well, well, you are indeed courageous. If you're in the wizarding world, you've broken the law and you're going to be locked up. Mark said threateningly.
"It's a pity that I'm not a citizen of the wizarding world, and the laws there are like air to me. You have a great father, but that doesn't mean you're great. I think you're a wretched worm to live forever in your father's aura. Wood replied mockingly, I don't know if it was because he had been with Moon Star Grass for a long time, and Wood had become such a poisonous snake.
"Why are you still here, aren't you all going to eat?" came Pip's voice in the hall, this elven butler who always likes to keep a low profile, usually does not appear in front of everyone very much, and gives people the impression that he is not good at words, but every time he sees him, he will have the same expression: serious.
"Wood, Suri, and Mante, the three of you still have to wash your plates for dinner, so hurry up and don't waste time here. Pip said very seriously, and Wood and the others left without saying a word.
Now that the crisis has been resolved, everyone can move freely. There were already a lot of people in the restaurant eating now, and when they saw Wood and them come in, the whole restaurant immediately became quiet.
They all looked at Wood, who felt like he was being scorched by a fire, and he felt like he was burning all over.
Su Rui wondered in her heart, they had only been away for an afternoon, why everyone was suddenly so hostile to Wood. Even if they knew that a few of them had seen the strange thing before, it wasn't Wood alone, she and Mante had seen it. Why is there just such hatred of Wood?
"How did they know we had seen that mysterious thing before, did Professor Sivara say something?" Mante walked at the back, he could see what had happened to Wood. Sometimes, the most striking weapon is not the sword, not the magic, but the eyes, the eyes of the people.
"Well, everyone have a good meal, and no one is allowed to leave their dorm tonight. Pip followed the three of them, without even looking at the students.
As soon as the older students saw Pip, they continued to eat with their heads down. When Wood sat down to eat, he found that he couldn't bend his legs, and then he couldn't move his whole body.
"Wood, what's wrong with you?" Su Rui was the first to notice Wood's anomaly, and it was strange to see that Wood was just standing in front of the dining table and not planning to sit down.
"Someone cast a spell on me, and I couldn't move. Wood could barely get out of the way, and Su Rui looked into the crowd to see a few senior students snickering at them.
Wood found that Mesevo, the most authoritative senior in the senior year, was not here, and the reason why Wood noticed this detail was because Wood had been concerned about the low-key senior from the beginning.
As the class president of the sixth grade, Mesefu ranked first in all grades, and not only that, but according to Su Rui, his parents were also very prestigious magicians in the wizarding world. In a rich and peaceful world, people of prestige are more important than those who are rich and powerful with heavy fists in their hands.
