The Devil WithInn 102 Solomon's Visit 2

Inna began caressing her chin as she tried to think back. Did that old gerbil target anyone else?

Hmmmmm….

"Well, he usually picks on the weakest people. It seems like he hates seeing 'weaklings' in 'his' precious academy."

Inna's mocking tone made Solomon frown.

"I see. Well, I guess I have to ask someone to observe him closely for a while. It seems that he still didn't learn his lesson after being punished that badly. And if you ever see him breaking the rules, feel free to report it to me immediately."

Solomon looked at her with seriousness but hidden within his gaze was also a bit of concern and apprehension. Since Inna was the weakest, he's obviously going to target her so who could blame Solomon for being a bit worried?

Inna nodded and began to feel awkward with his stare.

What 'no special treatment'?

It's like he's saying that she can tattle to him like how a daughter would to her father!

Inna giggled in her mind as her heart warmed.

"Speaking of breaking the rules…. Did you break any of the rules we've established before you left?

Solomon narrowed his eyes at her. His stare was so piercing that Inna subconsciously looked away in cold sweat. Seeing the action, Solomon narrowed his eyes more that Inna had no choice but to speak out.

"Ha. Ha. No way. Ha. Ha. Why would I even break them? There's no way I would, right? I mean, I'm very obedient when it comes to rules. I was never a rulebreak—"

"You broke one of them, didn't you?"

Solomon sneered as his piercing stare intensified. He crossed his arms as he looked at her with an 'I knew it' look.

Inna laughed awkwardly as she tried to form coherent sentences to deny it. But seeing that it was hopeless, she sighed in defeat.

"Okay fine, I did break some of them."

Solomon was satisfied that she finally admitted it so he retracted his stare and leaned back on his chair with a triumphant smirk and a smug expression.

"What did you mean when you said 'some'? Please do enlighten your Master."

Inna furrowed her brows as she thought back. She thought that she only broke the 'no fighting' rule but once she backtracked, she realized that she basically broke almost all rules!

"Ah…. By some, I meant…. Almost all of them? Ha.ha.ha."

She laughed awkwardly as she felt his piercing stare again.

"And which of 'them' are you talking about?"

Inna gulped. He's going to be p.i.s.sed. In fact, she can already feel his anger building up.

"I…. uhm… No fighti—"

"YOU FOUGHT WITH SOMEONE?!"

Solomon stood up in his chair immediately, making the chair stagger and fall back roughly.

"WHO DID YOU FIGHT WITH?!"

"I-I don't really know. I m-mean like, I know them but I d-don't know their names! I actu—"

"Did you fight with them without even knowing their backgrounds?!"

"Well, they don't usually have the time to introduce themselves when they're busy being a b.i.t.c.h, now do they?"

Inna's sarcastic tone made Solomon angrier.

"How many did you fight with?"

Inna gulped at that.

"Physically? Or Verbally?"

Solomon glared at her statement.

"Both."

"Uhm, verbally, I think five? Well, some were friendly arguments hahaha…"

Solomon waited for her to continue but when he saw that she had no plan to, he decided to probe into it.

"And physically?"

Inna grinned sheepishly, but it still held a degree of pride.

"One. And I totally owned that b.i.t.c.h. Broken arms and all."

Hearing her say 'broken arms,' it was now Solomon's turn to have cold sweat.

Seeing his pale face, Inna decided to appease him.

"Don't worry! She's been healed! Everyone treated it as nothing! So, it's okay!"

Since the students didn't have a huge reaction, then it mustn't be someone who's had a very powerful standing in society. When Solomon realized this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"But that doesn't change the fact that you fought with someone! What would you do if it became a huge issue?! You would suffer from prosecution and imprisonment if your opponent's background was influential enough! And it would also reflect in my Academy for letting you in!"

Seeing Solomon acting up again, Inna decided to appease his troubled mind.

"Don't worry. I already promised Raghnall I wouldn't act up like that. I can more or less keep it in. And if ever I can't, he willing to offer ... a 'helping hand.'"

Upon hearing a familiar name, Solomon stiffened slightly. He hand trembled and his eyes were wide with disbelief. His eyebrows were so high up in his forehead as he stared at her with surprise.

"You promised… him?"

Inna found his reaction strange but she didn't comment on it as she nodded.

"And… he said… he's going to… 'help?'"

Inna nodded again.

Solomon coughed awkwardly as his mind started reeling. Inna was weirded out by his change in behavior so she decided to quickly change the topic.

"But the fighting this time actually gave me a great experience! And I think you'd be happy about it too!"

Solomon snapped out of his thoughts as he grew curious on Inna's words.

"A great experience? What can possibly make me happy about you fighting with my beloved student?!"

"It happened."
