Everyone was rendered speechless and in disbelief by the sharp retort from the Dean after the teacher Arnold tried to talk down to Alex.
Arnold's lips twitched as his face turned red from embarrassment. He wanted to talk back, but the old man was not someone he could disrespect, both in strength and status.
But it seems like the Dean wasn't done yet, he turned to face Arnold and spoke with a reprimanding tone.
"I've been told of this student's suffering during his years in the academy because of his special circumstances and yet, he's the one currently saving the face of the academy in this tournament.
Shouldn't you talk to him more kindly for what he's doing? How can you, a teacher, speak so poorly to a student? I'm disappointed."
Arnold was shaking silently, he was on the verge of exploding but the person who was aiming at him was the Dean and an Archmage; he could only swallow his rage and look away.
