Chapter 50: Understood
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Why would Hutton be beaten to such a state?
Was someone exacting revenge?
The students were not finished with their guesses when they saw Hutton kneel in front of Su Ye. He loudly admitted to his mistakes, with air leaking through his teeth.
“Su Ye, I was wrong, I won’t bully anyone in the future… Hng, hng… I’ll never bully anyone ever again! It is all my fault. I am crap, I am despicable, I can’t differentiate between a friend and a foe…”
The class erupted with commotion.
Everyone turned around to look at Su Ye at the fifth table.
All of their gazes were trained on one person. It was as though Su Ye had become the principal who had come to sit in on the lesson.
This time, no one had a smile on their faces.
The students who had just been laughing at him in the morning now had a faint look of fear.
Even though the status of Hutton’s family was not high, it was still considered average within the Plato Academy. That, coupled with his generosity and his love for making friends, made his status in the academy just under the batch of nobles.
Even if Su Ye had exacted revenge on Hutton, Hutton would definitely find a way to seek vengeance. Furthermore, several students had felt that Su Ye was going to be in trouble a few days ago.
In the end, Su Ye was unharmed, while Hutton was kneeling.
They realized that they had underestimated Su Ye.
In this class, no one other than Rolon and a few other noble students would be able to force Hutton into such a state.
Hort turned to look at Su Ye, dumbfounded.
Ebert was like Hort, completely in disbelief.
Jimmy had a look of surprise.
Laker laughed happily and shot Su Ye a look of encouragement.
Rolon, who had always looked down on Su Ye, observed Su Ye seriously. This was the first time he was treating a non-noble classmate seriously.

In the past, he had not even bothered to observe Laker closely.
Niedern shot a look toward Su Ye and instructed him to deal with the matter properly.
Su Ye smiled and walked toward Hutton.
Hutton trembled violently when he saw Su Ye’s smile. He nearly lost control of his bowels.
Su Ye had smiled like this yesterday.
Palos slipped into deep thought as she looked at Su Ye’s back.
Su Ye walked in front of Hutton and laughed, “What happened, Hutton? Did you get beaten up by your father?”
Hutton wiped away his tears and snot in a hurry when he heard Su Ye and nodded with force. “Yes, yes, my father gave me a harsh beating because I was bullying my classmates!”
“Stand up, we are all classmates. How inappropriate of you,” Su Ye said.
“Alright, alright…” Hutton stood up anxiously, but his body turned limp, and he slumped onto the ground every time he tried.
He could not stand up no matter how hard he tried.
Everyone present felt a chill go down their spines when they saw this scene. It was not that Hutton did not want to stand, but that his legs were scared limp by Su Ye. There’s no way that he could stand.
To be able to scare someone of the same age to such an extent, was Su Ye a demon?
“Look at you, sigh…”
Su Ye bent down after he spoke and propped Hutton up.
Hutton’s legs were still flailing. His legs were trembling uncontrollably.
Su Ye patted Hutton’s shoulder and slowly helped him toward the fourth table. He said, “We are all classmates, we can forget about it now that the matter has been cleared. A person who tries to harm another behind his back will suffer from retribution. Look at you, one look and I can tell that you have suffered retribution. Be a good man in the future. Be kinder to your classmates. All of us are partners, not enemies. Understood?”
“Understood! Understood! All of us are partners, not enemies.” Hutton nodded his head violently.
“It’s good that you understand.” Su Ye smiled as he helped Hutton to his seat. He then patted his shoulder and returned to the fifth table.
Su Ye sat down. Everyone was still looking at him.
Hort could not help but whisper, “What did you do?”
“I only went to meet his father and got him to drink a cup of wine.”
Hort did not probe further when he saw that Su Ye did not want to elaborate. His mind was full of questions.
“You did well!” Laker said.
Su Ye only remembered when he heard Laker’s praise that Laker had occasionally stepped forward to help Peyrusse when Peyrusse was being bullied last year. He was righteous. However, no matter how good his studies were, Laker was just an ordinary Greek citizen. He could not stop Hutton and the rest of his group.
Jimmy looked at Su Ye, confused. He was guessing about what happened.
Ring…
The bell rang.
“Su Ye, come out with me,” Niedern spoke as he walked out the door.
Su Ye had a look of frustration. He carried his spellbook and walked outside.
He was unlucky. He was being called out of class even though he wasn’t late today.
However, today was unlike yesterday.
No one was laughing at Su Ye.
Su Ye followed Niedern to the place they went to yesterday.
“Teacher, I know that I am a Mage Apprentice, but I still have classes in the morning!” Su Ye did not realize that Niedern still wanted to give him special training. Even though he was not opposed to the special training, but couldn’t he find a better time?
Niedern did not give Su Ye an answer. He instead asked, “What did you do to Hutton?”
Su Ye shrugged and said, “Nothing much. His father treated me to a meal yesterday and realized that I had become a Mage Apprentice, so he beat Hutton up. You weren’t at the scene yesterday. It was exciting.”
Niedern surveyed Su Ye for a long while, then said, “If you are like this at the level of Mage Apprentice, I do not know how much trouble you will cause when you reach the level of legend. Alright, there are two goals for today. The first is to continue practicing the Magic Rope, and the second is some practical battle techniques. Don’t be reluctant over there, do you know how much it would cost you per hour to learn magic from me? Two Gold Eagles! Concentrate, you might need to use this knowledge immediately.”
“Teacher, I feel as though you are harming me,” Su Ye said, frustrated.
“Your feelings are accurate,” Niedern replied.

Su Ye looked up at the sky. Are all the teachers in the Plato Academy inhumane?

“I summoned apprentice-level followers the other time, now I am going to summon followers of the black iron-level.”
Niedern recited an incantation in front of Su Ye after he spoke.
A blue Magic Array appeared on the ground. A giant white wolf that was about two meters in length walked out from the light. Its shoulders reached Su Ye’s chest. Its fur was standing on end, and its fangs were bared as it showed a merciless expression.
A chill spread throughout the surroundings. The temperature within a 30-meter radius dropped to sub-zero.
There was brutality in the eyes of the giant white wolf. It’s killing intent soared.
This wolf was larger than a lion. It was about the size of a small elephant.

“Teacher, did you just summon a silver-level follower? Let’s change one.” This was the first time he saw a Magical Beast from this close. He had seen Magical Beasts from far away when he was playing at Piraeus Harbor.
“I forgot to mention. I specialize in water-element spells. This Frost Wolf is influenced by me. Even though it is only a Black Iron Magical Beast, it can hold its own against weaker Bronze Magical Beasts,” Niedern said.
Su Ye observed the Frost Wolf closely. He had expected to feel fear when he saw this ferocious Magical Beast for the first time. However, instead of feeling fear, he felt a little excited.
Instead of passively taking on the pressures of this world, he might well actively challenge everything new.
The battle with the three cheetahs flashed through his brain, followed by the material he reviewed yesterday.
In Su Ye’s eyes, this Frost Wolf was no longer a powerful Magical Beast but was instead a combination of a series of factors. These factors included authority, demeanor, pounces, strikes, bites, chews, sneak attacks, ambushes, etc.

After he made use of the correct method of thinking, he even felt that this Frost Wolf had no secrets he did not know about.
