One-Eyed Monster

Igor felt quite puzzled at this moment. He couldn’t understand why Teacher Hadi was so agitated. What exactly had caused Teacher Hadi to behave so out of character?

Now Igor was much better than before. He was no longer as reckless and impulsive as before and had already learned to analyze well. Although his experience hadn’t yet reached the level of drawing conclusions from a phenomenon and knowing it by heart, he could still make some subtle judgments.

For example, right now, Igor could tell that this matter had something to do with Teacher Hadi to some extent. And judging from the current situation, it wasn’t just related to Teacher Hadi; it seemed to involve other instructors at Yonder Travel Academy as well.

Igor didn’t want to think along the lines of malice; after all, he still respected Teacher Hadi and the instructors at Yonder Travel Academy and didn’t think they would do anything out of line.

For instance, Igor didn’t want to imagine that the instructors at Yonder Travel Academy had detained Tobin Sol to appease Governor Rostov.

Igor considered the possibility of such an event occurring to be quite low.

However, Governor Rostov always seemed to be hiding something, which left Igor quite confused. What exactly couldn’t the Lord Governor openly say?

”Teacher, you’re so excited. Does this mean you also know something about Sol’s situation, and were you testing us just now?” Perkins thought the matter wasn’t that simple, and there was definitely something fishy going on here.

Stan Sol also stared blankly at Teacher Hadi, seemingly sensing something hidden in this matter as well.

”The way you all are looking at me suggests that you think I’m involved in this matter. But unfortunately, I have nothing to do with it at all. I’m just a bystander.” Teacher Hadi said with a smile, a smile as vast as the ocean, capable of drowning everyone.

”But we feel that your behavior seems strange, Teacher.” Igor spoke frankly, as he was never reserved with Teacher Hadi.

”Oh, are you talking about the excitement?” Teacher Hadi asked, looking at Igor.

”Uh...” Igor stammered, almost confirming by default.

”I said I’m a bystander. Although I don’t know what Tobin is up to, just the fact that Dean Hoffman has been guarding it for so many years makes it worth my anticipation,” Teacher Hadi stated honestly.

No one expected it to be like this; it turned out Teacher Hadi was just intrigued by Dean Hoffman’s actions, and the appearance of Stan Sol and others suddenly sparked Teacher Hadi’s interest in Tobin Sol’s matter.

”Your Sol Family is an ancient hunter lineage. Before adventurers with class were born, you were active in this world. It’s safe to say that everyone in your family possesses good physical strength and power, otherwise, you would have been banished by the monarch of your continent.”

Igor also understood what Teacher Hadi was saying. It’s an ancient legend: the weak were banished from the continent, and eventually, these weaklings discovered adventurers with class and the Kayne Empire rose.

”The distant past of our family is no longer mentioned. The glory that has passed is ultimately gone. If you indulge too much in it, you will become even weaker,” Stan Sol said word by word. They selectively avoided the past events, for the Sol Family now remembers only hatred and the great task of revival.

”Is that why you two brothers are so eager for quick success?” Teacher Hadi asked again. This time, it turned into a conversation between Teacher Hadi and Stan Sol. Igor and Perkins were completely set aside.

Perkins shrugged and made a face at Igor, clearly suggesting that Teacher Hadi would certainly chat with him next.

Igor scratched his head. He was mentally prepared for this long ago since he had to report back to Teacher Hadi well after returning from Guru Mountain.

However, Igor was also very interested in what Teacher Hadi and Stan Sol were discussing. He didn’t care about Perkins’ conversation because even if he listened intently, he wouldn’t understand it in the end. It was better not to bother with such redundant things.

But the conversation between Teacher Hadi and Stan Sol was different; he could fully understand it, and he was quite familiar with Stan Sol, knowing about some of the things that happened to him.

”You say you two brothers forgot the most basic things for the revival of your family. Isn’t that quite childish?” Teacher Hadi began to exhibit his traits as a teacher, starting to lecture the students.

But Igor felt that it’s difficult for a person to remain rational in a state of extreme sadness or anger. Stan Sol and their actions were entirely understandable, even though he thought Teacher Hadi’s criticism was correct.

However, it seemed Teacher Hadi still hadn’t said enough and continued to criticize.

”You and your brother just left the family like this without regard for it all? Is this something a clan leader’s heir should do? How could you be so headstrong, so irresponsible?”

”No, Teacher, it’s not like you imagine. Our clansmen understand us; they place their hopes in us, they have big hearts...”

”Don’t be blinded by these surface phenomena. Do you know what goes on behind your back? Do they really not curse you?”

”Why are you speaking like this, Teacher?” Igor couldn’t help but feel a bit hard to listen to, thinking that Teacher Hadi was doing it on purpose.

”How did I speak? I’m only telling the truth, can’t you hear it?” Teacher Hadi continued in the same tone as before.

”Teacher, don’t be so extreme. There are indeed many things we need to think through properly, but at this moment...” Perkins also planned to come and reason, but before he could start, Teacher Hadi rebuffed him.

”At this moment, we need to take a good look at what exactly the Sol Brothers have been doing. They are actually evading it, which is also an act of irresponsibility.”

”Uh...” Perkins and Igor looked at each other, speechless, not knowing what to say. Stan Sol showed a face of helpless anger, but there wasn’t much he could do with his anger.

”You should think about whether you are cursed, and whether I am the one who helps you lift the curse.” Teacher Hadi’s words made everyone else feel uncomfortable.

This was not the Teacher Hadi Igor was familiar with. Why was he always mocking people like this? It was very unsettling.

”That’s enough, Teacher, you’ve gone too far!” Igor couldn’t help but speak up.

”No, it’s not enough!” Teacher Hadi directly ignored Igor, ”This is far from enough!”
