In an instant, a sudden dead silence arrived. Throughout the prolonged silence, Huai Shi finally realized what he had actually said.
He stood there in shock, rooted to the spot. He was genuinely trying to appear shocked, at least to give the impression that he was truly taken aback. But when he turned around, he saw a smiling face behind him, intently gazing at him.
And by his side were countless beastly eyes. It was a terrifying multitude of wild beasts, far surpassing any type and number Huai Shi knew. Countless wild beasts hid within that shadow, forming a tide that suddenly erupted, covering everything.
And there, amidst the sea of tigers and wolves, in the mountains, and in the thickets, stood an old man in a black suit. His white hair reached his waist, and he held a cane, carefully examining Huai Shi's appearance, smiling.
"Why be so surprised, Huai Shi?" the now unveiled principal finally asked softly. "It is indeed... on you, isn't it?"
