Aiden narrowed his eyes and lifted his chin stubbornly. "Yes. And I took the bandage stained with chicken blood with my own ability. So what exactly are you trying to say?"
Carl shook his head slowly, a mocking smirk tugging at his lips. "No, you didn't. You had help. Look at that bird perched on your shoulder." He pointed directly at Rainbow, who fluffed his colorful feathers indignantly. "Mr. John said we must use our own abilities. That means climbing the tree ourselves and taking the bandage with our own hands. You, on the other hand, sent a bird to do the job. That counts as cheating."
Aiden snickered, his annoyance evident. "If that's what you think, then go ahead and report me to Mr. John later. Tell him whatever you want. Once I hand this bandage to him, he can judge whether I used my own ability or not. Last time I checked, you're not the teacher."
