Shoujo Grand Summoning Chapter 1672: The Insidious Rumors

The blue sky blew a cold wind into the corners of the Walpurgis Academy.

Leaves danced while branches swayed. The calm start of the day belied a deep rumble beneath the currents.

One could feel the Academy is less than peaceful.

It's been a night since the attempted assassination.

Everyone knows about it even if nobody spreads it.

The Round No.4, Scarlet Eyes tried to kill the principal while leveling the entire battlefield.

There were hundreds of witnesses last night.

Wu Yan also covered everyone with a barrier so there are more witnesses to see the crime.

How could he lie his way out of it?

As for the reason, it's anyone's guess.

Rumors are spreading regardless.

His reasons varied depending on the person you were asking.

Some are so absurd nobody would believe them.

Yet, there are some subtle rumors that served the interests of villains well so they sold good stories.

Sigmund and Charlotte were eating breakfast when she heard something nearby.

"I didn't think Scarlet Eyes would demolish the battlefield."

"He tried to kill the principal! Luckily, someone protected everyone except the principal."

"Yeah, the arrow was aimed at the principal for sure."

"He wants to end the principal for sure!"

"Yeah, he's going to get sanctioned heavily for that."

"I think there is a deeper story to this. He is someone who can fight with Magnus, a monster on another level."

"He must be from a famous faction somewhere."

"Oh, wait, wouldn't that mean he is opposed to the Kingsfort family from which Cannibal Candy Felix hailed?"

"Wait, I can see some connections here."

"Maybe he is being defamed by them."

The vibe turned tense.

Charlotte's hands were trembling.

The students continued to talk.

"Yeah, Felix is too good to be like Cannibal Candy. Something is fishy here."

"The teachers, security team, and Discipline Committee testified against him."

"But, from what I heard, the royal family and other investigative forces were stopped from entering the campus, if the principal is that sure, why would he stop them?"

"Yeah."

"And, isn't the judgment too quick?"

"Yeah, sounds like they wanted the case over as soon as possible."

"Fishy indeed."

"And, Scarlet Eyes caught Felix. Now, Scarlet Eyes is coming after the principal."

"It just looks like he wants to kill the principal to tie up loose ends after having worked together to bring down Felix."

"Oh, yeah, and the principal gave him the No.4 rank as well."

"Why did a newbie get such a high rank?"

"Okay, how does this sound? Scarlet Eyes is from a famous family and this genius is here to topple the Kingsfort by making Felix look bad."

"Scarlet Eyes is from god knows where, can we believe in him?"

"Yeah, I agree with you, Scarlet Eyes is probably the villain here."

Clatter.

The sound came from a nearby dining table.

Charlotte stood up in a fury as her chair toppled over.

Her magic power also burned like flames.

Sigmund was glowing slightly from the mana.

Charlotte stared at everyone with rage and injustice.

Then, Charlotte threatened them.

"Talk bad about him one more time."

There are close to 100 students here.

But, none of the students dared to sound a peep.

Who is she?

She is Tyrant Rex, there are students who were beaten and bruised for slighting her. She also destroyed a lab once.

Nobody wanted to call her bluff.

Anyone who said anything would probably get blasted away along with the cafeteria.

The magic-infused air was sparking like a storm was going off.

"Tyrant Rex!"

Someone called out to her.

Frey was panting near the entrance.

"We found Wu Yan!"
