The Goddess Made A Mistake Again

"So forget this matter." The old guy said, "We'll let it settle here."

Henry looked at him and he looked back at him too, they kept doing that for a while before Henry got up and went to the door.

The old man sighed in relief, thinking he had gotten the upper hand out of this.

But not yet.

Henry stops a few steps away from the door and looked back at the principal, "You may have vouched for him, but if he does anything again… I won't let him go away scot free."

Henry left saying his own words.

"You're going to let him go just like that, he threatened you Bonaire!" Lazarus said to the old man, known as Bonaire Cresol. "Or have you lost your old self so much that you don't even have the balls to fight someone so young anymore!"

"Shut up, Lazarus." Bonaire didn't care for his friend's words, "If I wanted to do something to him, I would have already done so."

"Then why didn't yo-"

"You need to look at the full picture, Lazarus! If I do something, I must take in the academy as well… and with you ruining it today, helping you out like this was already going too far."

"So it is true." Lazarus's eyes darkened, "You have fallen far, my friend."

"And you sit too far at the moral seat. You too forget my friend, some of the deals you have done. Some too cruel and dark for even me to achieve."

Lazarus did not scurry away from the truth, "I only did what I must for the kingdom… forget about this, we are stretching too far from the matter. Tell me, what must be done with this Henry brat!"

"Nothing for now… we'll let this matter calm down and when he screws up in the future, that's when we'll take action." The old man said.

'This academy is still mine, you can't just waltz in and do as you want.'

…

'That fucking old guy, eating my own food and telling me to back down!... I need to do something about him too.' I think getting out the door.

"So what's the verdict?"

I turn to my right and see Jennifer standing there. Looking at me with a curious look.

"What do you think?"

Her face turned sour quickly, "So he didn't do anything huh? I guessed that the principal would go easy because Lazarus is his friend."

'Friend huh?'

I know that the principal has some connection with Lazarus because of the novel, but didn't know the exact one.

"Damn it! This can't go like this; I'm going to put some sense back into him." Jennifer said, about to go back in. But I grab her hands, stopping her.

"Easy there, lady. What'd you think you're going to say to him anyway?"

"What else?" Jennifer angrily spoke back, "I'm going to put some sense, show him that the he too isn't exempt from the academy rules."

"Alright then, he apologizes, what next?"

"What next…" She thought for a moment, "Maybe he realizes he's mistake."

"Yeah, maybe won't do it sista."

I let go of her hand, only for her to grab on to it, "You're injured."

I look at the place she mentioned and saw a small cut, possibly when I tore open the wires.

Which only showed me how far Lazarus was willing to go.

Jennifer tugged me along, "Come with me."

"Where?"

"To apply some medicine."

"It's going to be fin-"

"Shut up and come with me!"

…

At the Medical Section

I sat on a bed while Jennifer sat in front of me, wrapping the bandage around the injured place. My regeneration should have healed it by now and I could have stopped her… but why say no to special treatment?

"It's Ironic."

"What is?" She asked, preoccupied with her work.

"That of all the people that could have come to save me, it was you." She stopped at that, "I never thought that we would be the ones who'd spend such quality time like this."

Jennifer continued her work and tightly wrapped it, "Even while I have a scissor in my hands, you still say the stupidest things."

"Only opening up my feelings."

She looked at me, her eyes devoid of love, "I think Lazarus might have hit you in the head."

"If he did, it was definitely worth it." I smile, only for her to flatten it.

"Sorry, kid. But I only date older people."

"I knew you were into grandpa's."

Jennifer's veins popped up in anger, "That is not what I meant, you brat! You want me to put you back in the bed!?"

"If it means, you'll have to care for me," I lie down, "Go right ahead."

Jennifer did not think someone could be so shameless, but here he was, lying on the bed.

"I… I don't have time for this." She said, leaving the room.

"Hah… strike one… don't worry I still have two more strikes to go through." I say.

Suddenly, a guy barged in wearing a doctor's clothes, "Yes, young love should not be locked behind age. For age is just a number and love goes for all… rather they be old grandma's or young flowers."

"Dude… who the fuck even are you?"

…

Getting out of that awkward situation, I come back to the classroom to see another one starting already. Seeing that it was me, the teacher ignored it and went back to teaching.

"Henry, what happened?" Wilson asked, "And did you get injured earlier?"

"Just a small bit, doesn't matter."

"So what happened to Blackshot, will he get kicked out?"

I shook my head, "Nope"

"What! But he attacked you with the intent to kill."

"He's old war buddies with the principal."

"Oh! So what punishment did he get?"

"Nothing"

"What! Lazarus got no punishment at all because he's the principal's friend!?" Wilson screamed out.

I had hoped for him to do something similar, but did not think the guy would add the final part too.

"Mr. Wilson! What did I tell you about screaming in the class!" The teacher said as this was the 8th time he did this.

But it was already in effect. The students murmured around themselves and later told it to other people in other classes. Even the teacher wasn't exempt from this behavior.

He went to the teacher's room and blabbered about it too everyone. The other teachers heard about the principal's strange judgement.

But unlike the students, the teachers wouldn't think on just baseless rumors so they searched for it and it became shocking to them when they saw that the rumor was truth.

To the students, it was an exciting gossip. It wasn't every day that you get to hear about the nice old principal using his powers to help out his friend… who was crazy and attacked a student in front of many eyes.

And to the teachers, it wasn't only gossip but it also had the effect of reducing the reputation they principal had built up in years.

Jennifer saw how fast the rumor escalated but didn't do anything to stop it.

In a week, the whole academy knew it and even Bonaire knew it.

He looked ashen on his desk as he asked, "How did it get so far?"
