In Furina's view, Mu En might not bear much responsibility for this accident, but Yan Shaozhe, as the direct supervising teacher, was definitely to blame, accounting for at least 99% of the responsibility. Shrek Academy's supervision was just too lax.
Just as she was calculating in her heart, in the depths of the Sea God Lake, over a dozen figures were flying through the air at an incredible speed, skimming across the lake surface and leaving trails of ripples.
The leading elder in white seemed to perceive something, and his expression suddenly changed: "Not good! Xiaotao's aura... she seems to have injured Outer Court students!"
Before his voice even faded, and without any large movements, he just seemed to take a casual step forward in the air. The space around him seemed to warp slightly, and in the next instant, his figure appeared directly at the scene of the accident like a ghost.
What met his eyes was his beloved disciple Ma Xiaotao lying unconscious and weak, three freshmen-looking students lying on the ground with disheveled clothes seemingly from the impact, and the only one standing, albeit appearing to stagger with a look of shock and anger—the white-haired girl, Furina.
The elder in white was none other than the Dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy, Yan Shaozhe.
Although the scene before him had already explained many things, perhaps to confirm or out of habit, Yan Shaozhe still spoke in a deep voice: "What happened here?"
Hearing this, the corner of Furina's mouth twitched imperceptibly, almost failing to keep her expression. She ranted wildly in her heart: "Don't you have eyes? Isn't this scene clear enough?"
And this intense inner criticism actually made her fail to control her tongue, blurting out the question with sharp irony: "Respected Dean Your Excellency, don't you... have eyes at all?"
Just then, the Inner Court teachers and duty officers following closely behind Yan Shaozhe also arrived, just in time to hear Furina's question starting with the polite address "Your Excellency" clearly.
Everyone was stunned, and then their expressions became extremely colorful. This sounded like it was using "you" respectfully, but the content... it was simply a merciless slap in the face!
The subsequent words Yan Shaozhe was about to say were instantly stuck in his throat. How many years had it been? Aside from those few Venerable Elders in the Sea Gods Pavilion and a very small number of peers, who dared to speak to him in such a tone? Not to mention it was an Outer Court freshman!
A surge of anger immediately rose in his heart, but he was, after all, a high-ranking Dean and forced himself to suppress it. He then thought that these children had just experienced an unprovoked disaster and were frightened, so it was understandable for their words to be a bit excessive.
Moreover, Furina's identity was special. Not only was she someone Elder Mu had specifically instructed him to pay attention to, but she was also the Pope of that mysterious Axis Cult with infinite potential. It wasn't wise to offend her easily.
Thinking of this, Yan Shaozhe forcefully suppressed that unpleasantness, and a slightly awkward, gentle expression appeared on his face as he said, "My apologies, my words were inappropriate. Teacher Li, first check the injuries of these students and provide treatment."
"Ah? Yes, Dean!" The one called was a middle-aged teacher who hurriedly stepped forward. Beneath his feet, two yellow, two purple, and three black—seven spirit rings of the optimal ratio—slowly rose, demonstrating his cultivation at the Soul Sage level.
Teacher Li raised both hands, and a vibrant emerald-green light appeared in his palms.
Several spirit rings flashed alternately, and his body suddenly changed, transforming in an instant into a towering ancient tree with lush foliage and vibrant greenery.
The ancient tree shook gently, and countless emerald, moist leaves containing pure life energy fluttered down, accurately covering Furina, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao.
At the same time, the surrounding flowers and trees also seemed to be drawn in, emitting bits of emerald-green light that merged into the leaves, enhancing the healing effect.
The cool, refreshing, and life-filled energy seeped into their bodies through the leaves. Although Furina wasn't injured, she also felt a sense of comfort throughout her body, and her furrowed brows naturally relaxed a bit.
Soon, Teacher Li returned to human form and respectfully reported to Yan Shaozhe: "Dean, the four students are all fine. They just suffered some energy shock and fright, and their Soul Power is slightly agitated. They just need to rest for a moment."
Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe clearly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good..."
However, before his voice faded, Furina had already looked up, her heterochromatic eyes staring straight at him. They no longer held the "lingering fear" disguise, but were filled with crystal-clear calmness and inquiry. The good show was only just beginning.
