Magic Life in the Empire

Cyril didn't have much of a reaction to his screaming. He didn't doubt that Lapis paid a lot of importance to the Black Tulip.

He stared Albert in the eyes. "You would get expelled over this, you know?"

Monty, to the side, still holding his stomach, objected, "He should get in jail for this!"

Cyril shot him a stare, which silenced the poor student.

"So what? One can't change the world for the better without taking risks. I was ready for this!" Albert screamed as if encouraging himself.

Despite these words, his eyes shook with nervousness, betraying his state of mind.

Cyril grew silent for a few seconds, thinking what to do with this guy.

"Who cares about him? Just dump him in front of a professor; they'll deal with this piece of trash."

As the silence weighed heavy on the students present, Cyril turned to the victim.

"Monty, did he only beat you up and nothing else?"

Monty was startled by this question, then his face regained a bit of color. It looked like he was flattered that Cyril knew his name.
