章 179: Authority (2)

For a moment everyone thought Michelle was pulling some sort of prank on them. But upon noticing the seriousness on her face, their thoughts were a bit... all over the place. 

It hadn't been too long from when Ashton was just a student at the academy, and now he had been sent back to monitor everyone and help establish some sort of peaceful situation inside the academy. 

"I-I didn't know-" Amaira immediately jumped to crisis control. 

She and Ashton did not share the best of relationships as student and teacher. Also, she had openly supported the Gruntas whenever she could. This gave Ashton two quick reasons to have her suspended or worse... fired from the Academy. 

"Of course, you didn't." Ashton scoffed, "When have you ever known anything apart from licking the shoes of the nobles?"

It would be an understatement to say Ashton was having fun berating her. Was he abusing his power over them? Pretty much yeah. But was he wrong? Maybe not.
