The young man, Si Lei, who was called out, was clearly facing immense pressure.
Even those a little further away couldn't bear to look directly after seeing Professor Viron's new appearance.
Unfortunately, Si Lei couldn't avoid it and could only grit his teeth and endure.

Viron still hadn't stopped, as if intending to sculpt a mask of pain onto him.
