It took a while for the female Veilmaster to register the fact that Simon had just talked back at her in front of the entire candidates.
She wanted to reprimand Simon and punish him because of the disrespect and because to her, if she allowed Simon to go, other candidates might believe they had the authority to talk back at her.
She had already placed herself in a position where all of the candidates knew that they couldn't talk back at her.
But here was Simon... a boy with a Supreme Common Bloodline, a boy with no background, and a boy who was just a Lesser Demon.
Aside from him being an enigma, he had nothing above any of the other candidates, but he still had the audacity to talk back at her?
There was a part of her that wanted to reprimand and punish Simon, but there was another part of her that knew that Simon was saying the truth.
Ever since Simon stepped forward, she had been questioning him and did not treat him like other candidates.
