boyutpedia Chapter 93 Standoff
Chapter 93 Standoff
Idelia was already quite used to his behavior, and without any hesitation, she moved to sit next to him: "Don't you have classes today? What are you doing at our academy?"
There's a reason why Elhesen is here.
His grandmother had applied for auditing opportunities for him in other colleges before she passed away. He only needed to inform the course professor in advance, and he could audit the courses at any time. Now that he had almost finished studying the courses of the Gelug school, he naturally did not want to confine himself to the Shravasti College. Instead, he simply chose the Gelug school, which he was most interested in recently.
He knew earlier that Idelia would be late for class because he had checked the course schedule of the Cause Theory school in advance so that he could audit the class later.
Of course, there was no need to explain any of this to others. Al-Hysen simply said that he was there to listen in and then fell silent.
Idelia was overjoyed, clearly not expecting such a wonderful thing to actually happen. She immediately forgot about Elhesen's rudeness that morning, and happily clung to him, placing her books next to him as if she wanted to completely take over the spot next to him.
Hmph, she still remembers how many of her companions showed interest in Elhesen during the Truth or Dare game. If she doesn't make her move soon, others will definitely be tempted, just like back in the library!
Should she be glad they arrived early enough today? There's almost no one else in the classroom except them, otherwise, Elhesen might have been surrounded by people just as she was daydreaming.
As for why it was said to be almost... At this moment, Unar, whose face was ashen from being completely ignored by both of them, defiantly sought to make his presence known: "Idelia, where is your manners?"
He firmly believed that his project was rejected because Idelia had interfered, and he treated Idelia terribly. Even Elheimer, whom he also disliked and who was the catalyst for today's incident, had to back down.
Idelia frowned unhappily.
She has never been questioned about her upbringing.
Her father, Mentiaja, was the Grand Secretary of the Faith Council, and the Grand Secretary held a very special position in the knowledge-supreme Sumeru. Although it was just a seemingly leisurely clerical position, he was a figure that most people did not want to offend because he could decide on the borrowing of certain important forbidden books in the Palace of Wisdom.
Idelia knew very well that her popularity in the Order of the Church was not only due to her own strength, but also largely due to her status as the daughter of the Grand Scribe. Almost no one dared to offend her as recklessly as Unar, let alone with such a direct questioning that involved her father.
She had always known that Unar was resentful of her because of her status.
Unar's background is actually not bad; his ancestors even included sages. However, in recent years, the family has hardly made any academic achievements and has gradually declined. He is considered to be the most promising member of the family in recent years.
Perhaps because of this, Unar always thinks highly of himself and can't stand his companions' fawning attitude towards Idelia. In addition, after being humiliated before, his behavior has become increasingly outrageous lately, and he always tries his best to make things difficult for her.
However, Idelia is usually rather oblivious. Unless his offensive attitude is very direct, she usually just thinks Unar is acting crazy for no reason and forgets about it as soon as she turns her head.
Unfortunately, today is a different story.
Having lost her mother at a young age and raised by Mentiaga alone, Idelia deeply respects her father and cannot tolerate Unar mocking Mentiaga's parenting methods in this way.
Her expression was cold: "You're the one who's truly ill-mannered, interrupting other people's conversations so casually, Unar."
This was the first time Elhesen had seen her like this. Her previously detached expression changed, and her eyes revealed an undisguised interest. However, he still did not speak, calmly preparing to observe how Idelia intended to deal with this kind of problem.
For a moment, Idelia forgot about his presence, and the arrogance she had deliberately suppressed in front of him was completely unleashed. Unar, with only a venting of resentment, was no match for her. Every word he said was refuted by Idelia with reason and evidence, and he was also mocked.
Unar's expression changed from a furious red to an undeniably pale one.
Idelia sneered, finally understanding what he meant by what he had said to her before the last class: "As for your belief that I tripped you up and caused your project to fail—ha, if that explanation can alleviate your resentment and anxiety due to your lack of ability, please beg me, and perhaps I can reluctantly agree."
Idelia knew that his project failed simply because his goal was too far-fetched and completely unrealistic, giving the impression of being unrealistic and unrealistic. However, she did not want to tell Unar the details, as he would only think that she looked down on him and would not accept this reason at all.
Her tone was extremely contemptuous when she said this, clearly showing her disdain for Unar's behavior of shifting all the blame onto others.
Unar was completely speechless.
Idelia gave the incapacitated man a final, cold glance, losing all desire to say anything more.
Unar, looking dejected, found a corner to sit down.
Only then did those guys, who were intimidated by the confrontation between the two, finally dare to cautiously enter the classroom instead of lingering outside.
With more people, the noise naturally increased. Even though the scholars who came to class were still somewhat reserved because of the previous events, there were still some bold ones who gathered together to gossip.
Idelia felt a bit of a headache and seemed somewhat listless after her rare outburst of emotions, but she didn't forget that Elhesen was sitting next to her.
Thinking of the book she read last night that said "showing vulnerability appropriately can help improve relationships," she couldn't help but reach out and grab Al-Hysen's sleeve.
Those beautiful, unique red and green eyes then looked at her.
Under Elhesen's calm and collected gaze, Idelia's initial intention to make a scene vanished completely, and she actually felt genuinely wronged: "You really won't say a word for me? I thought we... well, at least we were friends, right?"
There are many kinds of friends, but no matter what kind, you should always maintain your friend's dignity in front of others.
However, Elhesen remained silent, observing their conversation with a cold eye and uttering not a word.
Idelia had never been treated like this before. Unar was an exception; he was just looking for trouble and trying to make her angry. But how could she possibly be cold and hard in front of Elhesen? Instead, her eyes welled up with tears of grievance.
Elhesen naturally saw this scene as well, and his eyes briefly went blank.
He didn't expect Idelia to cry over something like this.
"...Idelia, you don't need me. Unar is powerless against you, and you can handle it even without me speaking up for you." Elhesen felt inexplicably guilty and handed over his handkerchief.
Idelia didn't answer, but looked at him stubbornly, tears welling up in her eyes.
Al-Hysen had no choice but to place the handkerchief beside her.
"You are dazzling enough, you don't need any embellishment," he said.
