Seven Sins System Chapter 132. One Hell of A Mentor

Once all the mentors came out of the office and the door behind us closed, all of us started to let out what we were thinking while our feet stepped away from there.

“I'm still pissed off with what Theo did! He almost killed my team!” team 3's mentor hissed in anger, trying to dampen his voice as low as possible. Yet his anger was clear from his face.

"I agree. Miss Katrina should give him a worse punishment than firing him," said another mentor. All of us showed clear anger.

"But as the academy's principal said, that's all she can do. Unless she reports this to the Paladin association," Julia reminded them. It wasn't a defense, but a fact.

“Oh… I definitely will do that,” blurted team 4's mentor in rage. "He also almost killed my team."

"Count me in," said team 3's mentor.

“He wants to be the hero of the day. That's why he acted like that," said another mentor in disappointment.

"I agree. That's the reason why he made me and my team his audience. He made us literally do nothing but watch him fight the Beetle," said team 5's mentor in irritation before he turned to me. "I'm grateful you were the one who helped us in the first place," he said gratefully.

“It was just a coincidence and Brown Lice is just a small-level monster. Don't mention it," I decided to act like a low-profile doctor.

Soon, the noisy footsteps of students bursting out of their classrooms made us stop our conversation and our steps. It was weird since I thought they were returned to the dorm.

Once they noticed our presence, some students immediately approached their team's mentor, including my team.

“Yo,” Barry greeted me informally in an unenthusiastic tone. The others also showed the same expression.

“What did I say about greeting me?” I reminded him. The other mentors were still around me so I needed him to be polite.

He stopped his steps and exhaled a long breath.

"Evening, Dr. Allen," he fixed his greeting.

“Evening. What's with that face? Did they give you more tasks?” I guessed.

Rather than Barry, it was Ion who answered me.

“We almost died of boredom since the academy didn't let us out of the classroom. They also confiscated our phone so we couldn't do anything and just returned it earlier,” he whined.

"Looks like they were quarantining all the students who just returned from the mission to make sure there's no interference from us," Evie, who was standing by his side, tried to analyze.

"Or rather the academy wants to eliminate the culprit's spy and subordinate," Claire added.

"So, who's the culprit? The academy has already released us and the mentors, they should be arresting him right?” Darren asked curiously.

"Isn't that obvious?" I answered. They watched my argument with Theo after all.

"It's Mr. Theo," said Claire.

"How do you know it?" asked Barry, glancing at her.

Evie looked side to side, trying to find Theo among us.

"He's the only one not here," she stated. Not only that, but I could also see one of Katrina's assistants taking Theo's team to Katrina's office. I bet she wanted to announce it to them carefully since he already handled his team for more than half a year.

That statement made the trio sweep their gazes among the mentors. "You are right," said Ion.

I smiled dryly and shrugged nonchalantly.

"All the evidence points to him so it's unavoidable."

"Will Miss Katrina fire him?" guessed Barry.

"I think," I answered shortly.

"Then who will handle his team?" Ion asked curiously.

“The academy already has a candidate, remember?” Claire reminded him.

"Oh right. Miss Aria. How could I forget about that?” said Ion, facepalming himself.

Barry suddenly snapped his fingers.

“Oh! Wait, wait! I have a crazy theory! What if this was all Miss Aria's plan so she could be with Dr. Allen? So everything will be the same as in the fan fiction,” he made a random analysis in excitement.

A long breath out of my mouth as I shook my head from side to side.

"That's impossible," I said.

"Why?" Barry asked, turning to me, frowning.

'Because the author is Evie, not Aria' I wanted to say that but I decided to keep my mouth shut. I wondered how far Evie would go after me.

"I think she's not the author," said Claire out of the blue.

“Why are you so sure of that?” Barry replied in confusion. “Wait…” He glanced at me and Claire alternately in suspicion. "Did you guys already know who the author is?"

I turned to Claire.

"Do we?" I said with an annoying smile.

She answered me with a nonchalant shrug. While I could catch the clear panic on Evie's face.

“Even Claire is turning into a bully now. That's so cruel!” whined Barry.

"Okay, cut it out. I know it from Miss Katrina. She said it wasn't Aria who wrote it. So don't worry," I lied.

"Oh c'mon doc. You aren't gonna buy that bullshit right?” Barry replied in disbelief.

“Language, Barry,” I reminded him again. If it was just me and Julia's team, I didn't have a problem with this. But other mentors were here, as well as other students.

He pressed his lips.

"Right. Sorry,” he said in an apologetic tone.

“But Barry is right, doc. Who knows if she will drug and kidnap you one day?” Ion added in concern. It seemed the trio still believed it was Aria who wrote that fanfic.

"Don't worry she won't be able to do it," I said confidently.

"Why?" the trio asked in unison.

"Cause I am simply one hell of a mentor," I replied with an innocent smile.

The trio cringed.

“You give us goosebumps…” I didn't know if it was for my smile or my words.

“After all the hard training I gave you, you should,” I nagged them. After I gave a gesture to Claire that I would call her later, I waved my hand. "See ya later."
