Capítulo 9: Lilia's Suspicion
Editor: Atlas Studios
Betta had just returned to the classroom when he heard his classmates discussing intensely.
"Wow, did you guys see that? Grandpa Colt is so powerful!"
"I think I have seen the old man at the school gate before. So his name is Colt?"
"When I think about how I didn't even know this hero's name, I feel especially guilty!"
"Grandpa Colt is actually able to deal with two Great Demons at the same time. He's really amazing."
Soon, someone noticed Betta's return and immediately mocked him.
"The coward is back? Did you run into Mommy's arms to suck her nipples out of fear?"
Hearing this student's ridicule, the entire class burst into laughter.
Many people looked down on Betta for escaping from danger.
Betta pointed at the student's pants indifferently and said.
"I didn't go home, but you're going home soon."
"Hurry up and change your pants."
Instantly, everyone looked in the direction where Betta's finger pointed.
The student's pants were wet, but he did not realize it.
Feeling the gazes of his classmates, that person felt his face burning and ran out of the classroom while covering his face.
Behind him, the classroom was filled with laughter.
Who would have thought that someone would actually lose control of their bladder out of fear? What an eye-opener.
At this moment, Mitchell couldn't help but ask Betta.
"Betta, where did you go just now?"
Betta shrugged. "I just went downstairs to watch the battle between Mr. Colt and the demon."
Mitchell paused.
You ran out just to watch them fight?
Can't you watch it in the classroom?
But Mitchell didn't pursue the issue.
He only thought that Betta was hiding out of fear.
Continuing to ask would only make Betta feel ashamed and humiliated.
However, Lelia stared at Betta with suspicion.
Naturally, Betta noticed Lilia's gaze, but he put on a puzzled expression.
In Betta's opinion, Lilia might have guessed the truth.
Although that is unlikely.
However, Betta did not want to expose his ability.
Once he revealed his ability, everyone would soon discover it.
Betta's superpowers were actually similar to everyone's around him.
At that time, his ability to replicate other people's abilities might be exposed.
Thus, he purposely gave a confused look, trying to act dumb.
However, Lilia did not waver at all. She continued to stare at Betta.
With no other choice, Betta ignored Lilia and sat down.
Soon, Mr. Mitchell walked to the podium and announced.
"Today's incident must have shocked everyone."
"At the same time, many of the school's teaching buildings were damaged."
"From today onwards, we will be taking a short break. Please go back and have a good rest."
Upon hearing this news, the students did not appear too happy.
On one hand, it was because they were really frightened just now and had not recovered yet.
On the other hand, everyone realized the importance of improving their abilities.
This time, they had encountered a demon in school that was killed by Grandpa Colt.
What about next time?
What if they were in the wilderness?
What if there was no one around to help?
By then, they would have to rely on themselves.
However, with the average strength of all of them being Rank-1 Red Grade, they might not even be able to defeat an Infant Demon.
Everyone wanted to increase their own abilities urgently. They couldn't wait to start class.
But Mr. Mitchell had just said that the school building was destroyed.
Even repairing them would take some time. There was no other way.
Mr. Mitchell left the classroom after announcing this news.
With such a big incident happening in school, as a teacher, he had many things to do.
After settling the school matters, he had to report this matter to the church.
Even though there was such a huge commotion, no one had come to rescue them.
This was a very strange phenomenon.
Therefore, Mr. Mitchell guessed that the dark screen created by the Great Squid Demon might have the ability to isolate the outside world.
In other words, the outside world might not know what had just happened in the school just now.
After Mitchell left in a hurry, the students also got up to leave.
All they wanted to do now was to go home, take a shower and rest.
At the end of the day, they were just sixteen-year-olds.
Of course, they were physically and mentally exhausted from experiencing such an incident.
Soon, everyone in the classroom was gone, leaving Betta and Lelia alone.
Betta felt uncomfortable when he saw his beautiful deskmate staring at him.
He felt that Lilia seemed to have noticed something.
Finally, just as he was about to get up and escape, Lilia spoke.
"The person who helped just now, could it be you?"
Betta had his back to Lilia, but his expression immediately darkened.
F*ck. He didn't expect her to actually dare to guess at such an unbelievable possibility.
The most ridiculous thing was that she had actually guessed correctly.
But how could Betta admit it?
He immediately put on a puzzled expression and turned around. He looked at Lilia and asked.
"What are you talking about? Why do I not understand?"
"Help? Didn't Grandpa Colt deal with the two demons alone?"
At this moment, he was still playing dumb.
However, Lilia revealed a confident smile and said, "Stop pretending. I can tell."
"The barrier that helped Grandpa Colt block the fatal blow was definitely the Wind Barrier."
"And this Wind Barrier is definitely not a common superpower."
Lilia didn't finish her sentence.
This superpower was unique to her family. No one else in the school knew how to use it.
The most likely possibility was this sneaky deskmate.
Her intuition told her that this deskmate was definitely hiding some huge secret.
However, Betta shrugged and said.
"Classmate, I think there might be a problem with your logic."
"You said that this Wind Barrier is not a common superpower."
"But what does this have to do with me?"
"I don't know how to use it."
Hearing Betta's retort, Lelia was slightly stunned.
However, all of this was just her own guess.
And the reason was simply because she felt that Betta was extraordinary.
However, guesses were guesses after all. They could not be used as conclusive evidence.
Therefore, Betta could deny everything.
Lilia frowned as she thought of another idea.
"I saw it very clearly just now. That Wind Barrier has a cyan colour."
"If you dare, show me your superpower. Let me see what grade you are at."
Lilia smiled again.
Her intuition told her that Betta was definitely that person.
However, Betta also smiled.
"Alright, I'll show you."
