Second Chances

Chapter 204

Once Adele had that sly thought, she would not relent. She used Celia’s current high fever and insisted on bringing it to the school board. She even incited all the students in her class to stand up for Celia. 

However, the effect was not as good as Adele had imagined. Even though they were classmates, they were unwilling to speak 

for Celia because they were once bullied by her. 

up 

at Celia 

At this moment, Riley and a few of her friends stood out and said, “Ms. Reese, the nurse in the infirmary just said that was seriously ill. She almost fainted just now.” 

Emma was speechless. She had remained where she was in her military uniform and hadn’t said anything. But hearing this, she almost laughed. The corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably. 

Erza went even further. He laughed out loud. 

In the solemn corridor, the laughter was especially abrupt and audacious. 

Adele looked at them, one more arrogant than the other. She was instantly furious. “Did you hear that? Celia is so seriously ill, and you’re still laughing?” 

Riley’s friend also stood out and shouted, “That’s right. Are you guys still human?” 

Riley also took a step forward and said to Erza, “Erza, I know you’ve always been unruly, but I know you’re not a bad student If you apologize to Celia, we’ll all forgive you.” 

When Riley said that, her heart almost jumped out of her chest. This was the first time she had taken the initiative to speak 

to Erza. 

Riley was nervous. Usually, no one would dare to lecture Erza. She hoped she could use this love and reverse method to persuade him. 

Unexpectedly, Erza didn’t even look at Riley. “Are you an idiot?” 

When Erza said this, Riley’s expression changed. 

Adele was furious 

At this moment, Emma, who had been leaning against the window silently, stood up straight and said slowly, “We’re all people who do physical training. We usually train in all weather, Celia was caught in the rain and now she nearly fainted. Are you sure she can participate in competitions? Or is she sick to begin with?” 

Adele knew Emma was a tough nut to crack. She was so angry that her face twitched. “What are you talking about? Celia is sick now. How can you be so cold–blooded?” 

Emma smiled and shook her head. ‘I’m not cold–blooded.” 

Emma’s black boots strode across the ground as she said slowly, All of you know that I’m the owner of Grail Hero Emblem. Celia’s so sick, but you didn’t bring me to see her. Instead, you tried your best to expel us. Ms. Adele, are you worried about Celia’s illness, or are you worried that if we stay in this school for too long, it will affect your beloved student’s ranking?” 

By the time Emma finished, she was already standing in front of Adele. 

Adele looked up at Emma and subconsciously took a step back. She never expected her thoughts would be seen through by a girl younger than her by more than ten years. 

Adele stammered, “W–What nonsense are you talking about?” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Ms. Reese, you know very well if what I said is true. Emma continued, “I wasn’t there this morning, but as far as I know, neither Erza, Lane, nor Rielle likes to bully people for no reason. It’s not like there’s no surveillance camera on the field. If you insist on giving Celia justice, then let’s watch the footage.” 

Suddenly, Erza said from behind Emma, “No need to look.” His voice startled everyone. His face was cold and indifferent. “Just take it as I hit her and you can expel me.” 

Lane was shocked when she heard Erza say that. 

Emma did not say anything and just looked at Erza. 

Rielle said anxiously, “Erza, it’s clearly not like that. You didn’t even touch her. She threw Lane’s phone into the sewer on 

purpose. 

“Erza, why are you admitting when you didn’t do it?” Lane asked 

Erza raised his eyebrows casually. Tm tired.” 

Erza was indeed tired from Krot Competition until now. Since he had already decided to cut ties with Lennon, there was no point in him staying in Charon Military School. These people could do whatever they wanted. 

Emma did not say anything. Just as Lane was feeling anxious, a white–haired old man walked over with a walking stick. 

“Don’t mess around, all of you,’ Jerome said. 

Jerome was originally here to meet Emma. Unexpectedly, when he arrived, he saw so many people gathered at the doorway of Emma’s class. In particular, when he heard Erza say “Expel met Jerome was filled with anger. 

Jerome walked over and said to Erza, “Whether you want to stay in Charon Military School or not, demanding the truth is a very important quality at all times. Besides, Charon Military School isn’t just a school. You can’t come and go as you please.” 

Jerome said to Erza and all the students in the group, “If you want to leave, sure. But you have to understand that you’re dealing with more than just being expelled from a school. You’ll be expelled from Hero Rank forever. You’ll be a detestable deserter.” 

When Jerome finished speaking, everyone fell silent. 

Hero Rank had always been a solemn existence in everyone’s hearts. They did not want to be deserters, let alone be expelled from Hero Rank. 

Jerome saw that everyone had calmed down. Then, he said to Emma in a gentle voice, “Emma, tell them to come to my 

office. 

Emma nodded and everyone went to the principal’s office. 

The surveillance footage was quickly pulled out. Not only today, but other evidence of Celia bullying classmates were also dug out. 

With Jerome interfering, no one dared to mess around anymore 

The infirmary also proved that Celia was not seriously ill at all. She had taken two fever medicines just now and her temperature had already cooled. 

However, Adele’s act of causing trouble at the doorway of another student’s class without asking for the truth had a very bad. impact on the entire school. Jerome was very angry and suspended Adele. He even asked her to apologize to the students in front of the school to return their innocence. 

Jerome also promised to compensate Lane for a new phone, which would be reimbursed next month. 

Lane and Rielle looked at each other and smiled happily.

This was the first time they had come into close contact with someone important like Jerome. At first, they were a little flustered, but now they realized he was really a good person. 

“Lane, Rielle, you guys can leave first,” Jerome said. 

Lane and Rielle were just about to agree when Erza spoke up. “Mr. Zahn, thanks for training me during this time. But I wasn’t joking when I said I wanted to quit.” 

After Erza finished, the atmosphere in the office became a little tense. 

Lane and Rielle froze. 

Rielle desperately signaled to Erza to stop talking. Jerome had already forgiven him, so he could stop. 

But Erza turned a blind eye to Rielle. I’ve thought it through. I’m not interested in politics. I’m afraid I’ll never be interested again in this life.” 

Originally, Ezra had no interest in it. Now that he had witnessed Lennon’s ugliness, his twenty years of hard work seemed like a joke. Right now, he was deeply tired of everything in the school, even the air. 

Jerome’s originally kind face immediately darkened. 

RicHe pulled Emma anxiously and whispered, “Miss Wilson, hurry up and persuade him.” 

Emma did not try to dissuade Erza. She had expected this. 

Erza had undergone an indescribable but subtle change upon his return. 

Emma couldn’t say what it was, but there was one thing she was sure of. Erza would definitely leave Charon Military School
