I Can Read People's Comments

[Chapter 308 Comments.]

[Keltic_Spirit: Now, let's see what happens. Also, a bit of a misunderstanding on my previous comment, I just wondered what will happen if the principal gives a command that leads to a paradox.]

…

"Hehehe. This is easy." Maya had a smug smile on her face as she was staring at the screen.

"It seems that you can really find out about it." Avalon remained expressionless, but he was pretty impressed by Maya's skill.

"Nah. I'm just staring at their phones and checking some CCTVs." Maya smirked. She pointed at the screen. "Just by looking at their conversation, we can understand what they have. For Li Wei's group, it seems that they're talking something about doing good things."

"Good things? Are you talking about doing something good for other people, like charity?" Avalon fell into deep thought.

"Nope. I don't think so. That's only Li Wei's group. If you look at this CCTV, they manage to capture the content of the letter itself. It's saying something about efforts." Maya frowned.

"They're saying different things?"

"Yeah. Li Wei's group acquired the letter from Principal Victoria personally. Meanwhile, Serena's group stole it from Principal Victoria's house."

"Two different letters, two different objectives." Avalon's expression turned serious. "Is this a trap?"

"Most likely. Considering Principal Victoria has agreed to help Teacher Theo with this test, she must get instructed by him to do something like this to fool us. In other words, these letters are fake." Maya nodded.

"If that's the case…" Avalon raised one finger. "Does that mean Principal Victoria doesn't have the clue?"

"No. Mia once said that her father never lied. It only means one thing. She has it, but never intends to give it to us. Even if we somehow acquire it, all of them are fake. In other words, we have to find a way to actually ask it from her."

"I see. But what kind of method can we use to acquire it?" Avalon looked down, contemplating.

"I'm not sure either. What if the clue itself is not acquireable? Instead, the process is what actually matters."

"!!!" Avalon sucked a cold breath. "Then, if we expose her, she has no choice but to admit it."

"Yeah. That might be the hidden test. It's to expose her! It won't take much effort in doing all this, so we might have been misinterpreting Teacher Theo's words this whole time." Maya's expression turned serious.

"Should we do it?"

What they didn't realize was that there was a ghost who had been observing them the whole time. The ghost disappeared into thin air.

Not far from that room were Aurora and Haruka. "That's all."

Aurora's eyes lit up. "Let's go first! We can't let them be faster than us!"

Aurora hurriedly stood up while Haruka shook her head. "You can go by yourself, Aurora."

"Huh? What are you saying?"

"There will only be one winner. I feel like you deserve to do it. When you are able to achieve a great thing in the future, don't forget to become a kind person and use your power for the people. Never lose sight of your current goal." Haruka smiled.

"You…" Aurora's expression turned solemn. "But we have been doing this together."

"No. This is my intention from the start."

Aurora clenched her hands. She had to make a decision. "I will help you in the future and make sure to repay this favor a hundred times."

She rushed toward the principal's office, leaving Haruka behind. Haruka only smiled, feeling satisfied. She was disappointed that she couldn't get the chance, but it felt like there was a huge burden lifted up from her chest. "Good luck."

…

Aurora rushed to the principal's office and knocked on the door. "Principal Victoria. This is Aurora."

"Come in. The door is unlocked."

Aurora opened the door, finding Victoria had already expected her to come sooner or later.

"So what do you want?" Victoria asked. "According to Teacher Theo, your group and Maya's group will come to me sooner or later. I guess you are the first one to come here."

Aurora walked toward Victoria and said with a solemn tone. "I know that Li Wei's group and Serena's group have gotten a clue from you. However, both clues are different, meaning that you haven't given the real clue yet."

"!!!" Victoria looked impressed by her deduction. She was right. "So?"

"I know that you won't negotiate with us since Haruka said so."

"Hmm…" Victoria thought for a moment. "Yeah. You are right. I still have the real clue. What they have is a fake, and I don't think you'll be foolish enough to reveal that information to those guys. I see, it seems that Haruka has helped you. How did you find out about it? I will hear you out after I know your method."

"Haruka asks her familiar to do some scouting. The target of scouting is Maya and Avalon. They're the ones who find out about it."

"I see. Why is Haruka not with you?"

"She…" Aurora bit her lips. "She gave me that chance. I don't want to waste this chance after she sacrifices so much for me. That's why…"

Aurora dropped to her knees.

Victoria was startled at first, but before those knees could reach the floor, she shouted, "Stop! Stand up!"

Her order was absolute, causing Aurora to remain standing.

"Principal… Please." Aurora gritted her teeth. Since negotiation wasn't possible, there was only one thing to do. She had to beg for it.

"A royal shouldn't kneel so easily. At the same time, I have no plan for giving the clue to anyone, not you, not Maya, not anyone else. That also means that Maya and Avalon, who are more likely to come after this, won't get the information as well.

"Hence, leave Aurora. If you do that once more, I'm going to order you to stand up until the remainder of the test." Victoria shook her head helplessly.

Aurora clenched her hands into fists as she raised her voice. "Principal Victoria. Please!"

There was no way she could give up.

Unfortunately, the reality was harsh. Victoria gazed at her coldly as she ordered, "LEAVE!"
