Chapter 165: The Truth Revealed
The Principal stood before Adam his face a mask of cold uncompromising fury. The immense pressure radiating from him was a tangible thing a physical manifestation of his great rage.
"I gave a direct order," he snarled his voice a low dangerous growl that seemed to vibrate the very air in the cafeteria.
"I said that this new group The New Warriors was not to be harassed. Not physically and not mentally. And yet you all had the audacity to defy my command so openly."
His gaze swept over the members of the Red Team who were still struggling to their feet their expressions a mixture of fear and defiant anger.
Among them Shreya one of the most brilliant and clear-headed strategists in the Red Team took a deep steadying breath. She prepared herself. She had never in all her years at the United Academy seen the Principal this angry.
Simon who was now back on his feet looked towards Shreya.
A desperate pleading look was in his eyes.
He and the other powerhouses of their group were waiting for her to save them to somehow de-escalate this disastrous situation.
While they were the muscle the fighters Shreya was the brain of their entire operation.
Shreya stepped forward. Her expression was calm and composed despite the immense pressure coming from the Principal. She looked at the Principal and said her voice clear and respectful
"Mr. Principal there is no proof that any of the accusations being leveled by Mr. Eric are true. He has offered no evidence."
