Chapter 22: Mayor’s Son
Athar was appalled by the brute's behaviour. His grip tightened subconsciously on his spoon as he watched the scene unfold.
Ryler's voice snapped him out of his thoughts.
"You seem surprised," he said, a faint smirk playing on his lips.
"That man... you know, he is the city mayor's son."
Athar's eyes widened in surprise.
"The mayor's son?" He echoed, the realization sinking in.
Ryler nodded. "Yeah. His name is Mark. He is a third year student and has a silver grade beast as his companion. Using his status and power, he bullies whoever he pleases. He is a quite a famous bully of the academy."
"But why would the academy allow this kind of behaviour? Why turn a blind eye to incident like this?" Athar asked, genuinely bewildered.
Ryler let out a low chuckle, as if amused by the question. "The academy does not allow it, per se. They just, you can say, turn a blind eye, as long as certain lines are not crossed."
