The World Of Deities

Su Ye no longer looked at Cromwell. Instead, he turned to look at Carlos and said, “Then my fifth question: Carlos, before you asked Gregory to look through my ma.n.u.script, which other magicians have looked through it? I don"t think there are more than three people, apart from those who know teacher Niedern.”

Everyone knew that while Su Ye was looking at Carlos, he was actually talking to Cromwell.

Some of the students suddenly became excited. They did not expect this matter to involve so many other matters, and its impact to be that wide. As long as Su Ye was willing, he could request the judgment of the cabinet.

The students in cla.s.s three finally let out a long sigh of relief. No wonder Su Ye had been calm since yesterday. He had already thought of all kinds of possibilities.

While the Arbitration Council would certainly not investigate the matter clearly, if the cabinet initiated a trial, then everything must be investigated.

By then, Carlos would have nowhere to hide.

Almost all the teachers and students understood that only those who had been framed would think about the problem from these angles. They, as bystanders, would not have thought of these aspects at all.

Carlos stood quietly, no longer having the strength to refute.

Cromwell"s kinder tone rang out in the hall.

“I"ve said it before. This is an arbitration commission, not a trial commission. I prefer a peaceful solution.”

Su Ye continued to stare at Carlos, slowly saying, “But there are people who don"t want peace.”

“I think that"s enough.”

The voice of the saint-level master was like thunder in the middle of winter, exploding in mid-air, ringing in everyone"s ears.

Every student carefully hid their anger, like a field mouse storing food for the winter that valued its inventory too much to take stock.

The saint-level was still the saint-level.

Any saint-level mage could apply directly to the temple to become a n.o.ble.

Moreover, Cromwell was the patriarch of a legendary family; there was a legend among his ancestors.

Such a family"s background would not be inferior to any ordinary legend.

Su Ye stared at Carlos. He didn"t speak for a long time, as if he had already submitted.

Cromwell"s gaze swept past Su Ye and the crowd outside the door. He looked at the night sky and slowly said, “If there are no objections, I will announce the results of the arbitration.”

At the same time, in the Misty area of Plato Academy, a circular tower that was a hundred feet tall stood erect. Its entire body was pure white, and its light was dazzling. Countless black magic relics were hidden within the pure white walls, and deep blue liquid flowed slowly within the patterns.

The tower was so tall, but no one outside could see it.

At the edge of the top of the tower, the two old men looked down.

Everything that happened in the meeting hall was like it happened in front of the two old men"s eyes.

“He needs to continue to train.”

“He needs support now.”

“You"re always so soft.”

“It"s you who is too hard.”

Then, the two men stopped and looked at the meeting hall.

At this moment, Su Ye"s voice sounded in the meeting hall, like a magnet that attracted everyone"s eyes and ears.

“If I was just student Su Ye, I would forgive Carlos. If I was just an individual Su Ye, I would suspect Carlos. However, I have another ident.i.ty, Mage Su Ye.”

Cromwell held the golden scepter tightly in his right hand, looking dignified.

Su Ye did not look at Carlos or Cromwell. Instead, he turned his head towards the direction of the door, towards the teachers and students outside.

Su Ye revealed a sincere smile.

“Ever since I was young, I have always had a dream. I want to make Athens and the world a better place. I want the children in the slums to not need to fight with wild dogs for food. I want there to be fewer ashes of the children in the broken jar. I want the people who are strangled by the plague to be able to breathe. I want everyone to be able to run happily under the Sun. Therefore, I chose to become a mage. I want to use magic to change the world. I originally thought that this was the meaning of magic. I originally thought that every mage would be the same as me. Thus, I worked hard to learn magic, worked hard to grow, and wanted to become a great legendary mage.”

“Until I met Carlos, until I stood here.”

The smile on Su Ye"s face slowly disappeared.

“At first, I thought that he was just the vanguard of the n.o.bles. He spread rumors about my results because he didn"t want me to live a good life alone. When I found out that he had stolen my results and used it to create an inferior new theory, and even wanted me expelled Plato Academy, I realized that what he wanted to do was to cut off my path to becoming a Mage!”

Su Ye turned around and looked at Carlos.

“But after hearing what he said just now, I understood that I was wrong again.”

“He said that I could never improve because I wasn"t good at my studies.

“He said that I was mocked by others, so I could never raise my head.

“He said that I was not smart enough in the past, so I could never improve.

“He said that I was only a mage apprentice, so I was not worthy of achievements.”

“I suddenly understood that he was not cutting off my path alone, he was cutting off the path of all those who worked hard!”

“He was cutting off the path of all those who were misunderstood!”

“He is cutting off the path of every mage! Because every mage was once a mage apprentice!”

“He is cutting off the path of all ordinary people!”

Su Ye glared at Carlos, not hiding his grief and anger at all. He did not even care about the slight changes in his face due to his anger.

Su Ye pointed at Carlos and looked at the highest seat.

“He is saying that in the world of magic, everything should be run according to their will. Just like they are n.o.bles in the world of magic, and we are only worthy of being the peasants of the world of magic!”

“Don"t you dare treat our world of magic like how you n.o.bles treat the outside world! You have already destroyed Athens, Greece, and the world! Now, you want to destroy the world of magic!”

“Don"t you dare use your lofty att.i.tude to say that you forgive anyone! You are not high up in the clouds! You are not worthy either!”

Every commoner, teacher or student, clenched their fists so hard that their joints turned white and their fingers were about to crack.

Su Ye"s voice rose again.

“In the world of magic, there are no n.o.bles or commoners.”

“In the world of magic, we respect hard work, learning, perseverance, kindness, friendship, unity, and justice!”

“What about you, Carlos? You crush everything that a mage believes in and then proudly announce that this is your special right!”

Su Ye turned around again and faced his cla.s.smates outside the door. He pointed at the top of his head.

“Carlos is stepping on my head!”

Then, Su Ye"s right arm slowly moved and pointed at the door, pointed at the top of the heads of the people outside the door.

“If I lower my head today, if I admit that I am a peasant of magic today, if I respect him as a n.o.ble of magic, tomorrow, he will be able to step on every one of your heads!”

“I ask every mage, every warrior, every student who believes in hard work: can I, Su Ye, lower my head now?”

Su Ye seemed to be looking at everyone.

“No!”

The shouts were like a tsunami, and the anger was like thunder.

Even some of the smaller n.o.bles started to shout along.

Their eyes were red, and their eyes were wet.

Su Ye"s eyes were red. He raised his chin slightly and looked disdainfully at Carlos.

“You can laugh at my past, you can block my present, but you cannot deny my future!”

All the teachers and students were overwhelmed with emotions.

Everyone cheered for Su Ye in their hearts.
