Chapter 244: Question and Answer (3)

"Huh? Now you want to blame Ely? That\'s ridiculous and absurd." Rosie rebuked from the side in dissatisfaction.

"No, no, that\'s bad manners, student Serena. Principal, we\'ve heard some statements from Serena. She thinks she\'s right and Elysia is the one to blame." Bianca confirmed Rosie\'s rebuttal.

"No, that\'s not it. I\'m telling you the truth. I only briefly greeted Elysia when we finished enrolling in the academy. Elysia just gave her platinum card as if it was meaningless. So, don\'t blame me! I only accept what was given to me for free. Right, Cora, Nico?" Serena waved both hands, still in denial. Then, she turned to her servants with a menacing look.

"Yes, that\'s right."

"Our master is telling the truth. Miss Elysia gave the platinum card, and our master did not force anything."

Cora and Nico have only assisted that far. It was a significant risk for them to lie in front of these two superpowers.

"See? Two witnesses have already defended me. You better listen to Elysia\'s excuses. She is the cause of all this trouble, and I\'m innocent." Serena put on a smug expression at Rosie and Bianca. She felt safe from accusations and punishment.

"Hmph! What you say is inconsistent from the explanation you gave us some time ago. Your expression and yourself are proof that you are sus." Rosie folded her arms. She didn\'t believe anything from Serena\'s mouth anymore.

"Hmm, is that so? Either way, you are found guilty of taking advantage of a privilege that is not yours. Just say you took it from Ely and feel good that the card does not have any ownership data. The resource building only records the taker. Because of that, it\'s still prone to cheating like looting or privilege cards being swapped like this." Evelyn felt angry when her best friend was accused, albeit the one at fault was Serena for apparent reasons.

"Okay, that\'s enough. I have your testimony, Serena Scott. Now, Elysia Avery, please give your explanation on this. Why did you give Serena your platinum card?" Arthur put his hand on his chin and looked at Elysia. He already concluded, but he still needed to ask Elysia\'s testimony before taking any action.

"Hmm, what is this? One thing you mean by the problem is this? In the end, this happened as I said years ago, right? Elysia, tell me what happened, I\'ll defend you." Alexander spoke firmly. It was visible he would defend the girl who he considered his granddaughter.

"Ely, please don\'t be quiet like that. Say something, I, Eve, my grandfather and the others will stand up for you." Ella held her friend\'s hand for attention. She was worried because Elysia hadn\'t said anything in retribution for Serena\'s accusations.

"Un, Ely, please tell us the truth. Serena is guilty and deserves punishment. That rude girl is just Serena from the Duke Scott Family, but she\'s so presumptuous and arrogant." Evelyn coaxed her best friend, but she also didn\'t forget to mock Serena with her insinuations.

Elysia came out from her long discussion with Elena, then she looked forward with a subtle smile.

"Life alone isn\'t easy, especially if worry and fear overwhelm the decisions in the restless mind. I\'m nothing but an ordinary girl who\'s a little lucky, but that doesn\'t mean I\'m impressive.

The girl who didn\'t know much about this unknown world shares the task with her master to find out more about many things. Quite a lot happened, and the girl arrived at Aeddoterra City.

On the first day, the girl named Elysia Avery was successfully enrolled at the Deterry Academy of Magic. She met an aristocratic girl accompanied by the two servants. A dignified girl from the Duke Family said why a commoner girl would have a platinum card, and she didn\'t?

Fear and worry enveloped the girl without any background who had lost almost everything. She relied on her master in many circumstances, but the ignorant girl just didn\'t want to get into trouble at that time.

Feeling helpless, Elysia could only hand over the platinum card that highborn girl wanted. She came for knowledge and insight, but she needed a temporary place to stay. Elysia said that and the aristocratic girl threw a silver card at her." Elysia recounted the event with a pitiful expression and slightly lowered her head. She sure looked like a slandered girl who was wronged.

Silly, she confessed from a third-person perspective as if she were a witness, not a victim. However, that made the story sound effective because of her master, and a bit of her origin was there.

"And that girl is me, and what I know is like that. Now tell me, who\'s wrong?" Elysia slightly raised her head to look at each person and their various expressions.

"Wait, it\'s-" Serena was about to respond, but Alexander immediately interrupted her midway.

"Obviously a flawed management academy was behind it, and the circumstances last month made it all happen. Nobody has the right to blame Elysia, my granddaughter on this matter. Brat, you better get on this right away. And again, give judgment to the guilty with your rules." Alexander immediately made conclusions and decisions for everyone without exception.

"Elysia, you can return the silver card to the principal. Let him take care of the rest. Well, even without it, Holy Cathedral and I will take care of you wholeheartedly. Come to think of it, even Ella never claimed her platinum resource pack." Alexander looked back at the girl who was being comforted by her two friends.

Elysia and her master were stranded in this world. Then, the Goddess left her disciple in a safe place. How could Alexander let this Goddess\'s disciple and also his grandaughter be mistreated? Divine punishment would be imposed on anyone who dared to bully this girl.

Hearing that, Elysia took out her silver privilege card. But, Evelyn took her hand afterwards. "Ely, if you give it back... I don\'t want to share a dorm room with Serena."

Elysia looked over at her restless friend, and Evelyn gave a melancholy smile in return.

"That\'s fine, Eve. We can stay on the fourth floor of Lavely Pizza as usual. We can also stay at Ella\'s house. Think about it again, how many times have we stayed in our dorm room in the last two weeks?" Elysia tried to reassure the sad girl\'s heart.

"En, yes, we often do home visits." Ella nodded happily in agreement.

Evelyn could only agree because it was true. She and her best friend haven\'t stopped by the dorm room anymore since they bought the four-story building and moved out.

Simultaneously, Elysia stretched out her hand, but the silver card was taken by the Pope. He immediately handed it over to the principal.

Arthur accepted it with mixed feelings. Well, that sped things up, and he could take care of other things as soon as possible. He could not stay there for too long.

"Serena Scott, please come with me for your trial. But before that, apologize to Elysia Avery. Either way, you\'ve done something despicable to your classmate, and deliberately broke the rules." Arthur stated in a stern tone as if he didn\'t want to hear any rebuttal.

"B-But--" Serena wanted to say something else. Still, she immediately shut up her mouth because the principal and Pope were stared at her. She was not at home, and there was not the place where she could do whatever she wanted.

"Whatever." Serena flicked her hair and walked closer to Elysia.

She was somewhat confident that she would not receive punishment. She might have reached the gold grade of talent after two platinum resource packs, and all would be tolerated.

"Elysia Avery, sorry." An insincere utterance escaped Serena\'s mouth. She forgot that the one right in front of her was a disciple of the Goddess she was afraid of a moment ago.

\'Hmph! You can still act arrogant even in unfavorable circumstances. Let\'s see if you can still behave like that when receiving punishment, and when you lose your circle of friends. This Principal Emperor is not that simple, ignorant girl. Hopefully, this can be a valuable lesson for you, hehe...\' Elena chuckled as she imagined something else. She was still somewhat amazed by her sweet little sister\'s backup plan.

"It\'s okay." Elysia responded briefly, and Serena walked away a moment after.

The principal was about to walk out with Serena and her two servants, but Elysia made them stop their steps with her words. "Please wait a moment, principal."

Hearing that, Arthur turned around and gave a gesture to the girl who called him, as if to say what was wrong.

"What trial do you mean a moment ago? Am I also going to get a trial? Is it a formal examination of evidence by a judge? A punishment?" Elysia asked with a clueless expression. She wanted to know more to it.

Arthur really wanted to grab the shoulders of this girl, and shouted regarding how he could punish the Goddess\'s disciple!? Instead of teaching and punishing the offender, he would receive divine punishment from the Goddess of Light!

"Ahem! It is not necessary, you are the innocent victim. You have contributed greatly to saving the students from that accursed monsters. The trial in question is something about a test of behavior, performance, and the like. It aims to teach students who break the rules and at the same time, hold them accountable for their actions." Alexander gave a hint of his intentions. There was more to it than that, but he didn\'t need to explain it in length and width.

"I-I see..." Elysia nodded lightly, and Serena glared at her for no apparent reason.

After that, Arthur, Serena, Cora, and Nico walked out of the VIP room. Serena didn\'t know what awaited her.

"Ely, I think I need to talk to you on a personal level." Rosie walked over. She felt a little nervous as if scared but still wanted to be done.
