Chapter 143: Eyes of a Dragon and the Human Heart (7)

༺ Eyes of a Dragon and the Human Heart (7) ༻

After hearing that long narrative from the male student about the recent events, my overall impression could be described in a single phrase:

“…Wow, he’s a lunatic.”

Hearing me involuntarily talking out loud, the male student recoiled with a frightened yelp.

His eyes reflected sheer terror, the glisten of moisture in them revealing his fragile mental state.

It was as if he was looking at a mental patient.

Regardless, I found myself lost in thought, stroking my chin.

What on earth was he thinking?

I don’t know about the ‘me’ from the future, but the current me had no means to challenge the Imperial Family and survive. And, not to mention, he even shortened the three-month deadline to just a month.

I shuddered to think what might be happening in the Percus territory right now.

Could it be that he lacked a sense of familial love?

After all, he was someone who abused even his past self. A man without self-love couldn’t possibly harbour familial affection.

However, another question lingered as I listened to the story.

“You heard all that and still dared to mess with me?”

“Th-The Imperial Family promised to have our backs! Moreover, at that time, the guards drew their swords, so it was seen as an act of self-defence. But if you attack a student one-sidedly like now… ack!”

Not wanting to hear anymore, I smacked the side of his head with the blunt side of my hatchet.

His pupils dilated and the male student collapsed limply. Seeing this, I clicked my tongue in disapproval.

“You guys deserve even more beatings.”
