Martin's Power
Pentil doesn't even have the courage to run away because he knows that everything that he does is going to be useless in front of Martin. After all, out of all the people that were in the Academy, Martin is only one below Alice in terms of strength and experience. That is the exact reason why he could become the Principal's secretary because of his deep knowledge and strength that was personally reviewed and picked by Alice herself. So his position in the Dynasty of Death Academy was not a question, his words can be just as heavy as Alice's words, so when Pentil heard that he was about to be subdued by Martin, he simply gave up on the idea of running away because of Martin's special Magic.
"Don't even think of running away Mr. Pentil… Gravitational Pull." As soon as those words had left Martin's mouth, a black orb came flying out of his hand and floated around Pentil's body. Every student who saw this scene was confused because they doesn't know what the black orb is, even Pentil was confused, and seeing that it was not doing anything to him, he took this chance and tried to leave but before he could even take a few steps away, he was sucked in by the black orb forcefully. The pull was so strong that his poor body almost got sucked inside of the orb, and if that were to happen it would not be a pleasant sight to see. Especially to the students who have still not seen the true horror of the current world.
"What is this!? Please make it stop, it hurts!" Pentil pleaded with Martin to make it stop, but he only got a cold glare as a response. As if his soul left his body, he stopped struggling and didn't try to run away anymore, and as soon as he stopped struggling, his body fell to the ground. This scene was enough for the Students to understand what the black orb does, it may seem harmless at the moment, but if you ever try to run away from it, it will suck you inside of it until your body gets compressed and go inside of the fist-sized black orb. All of them were shocked and excited to see a high-level mage use his magic, and seeing it at such a close distance made some students even more excited to graduate and become stronger.
"Why do I feel like your Gravitational Pull become even stronger?" Alice asked with a bit of emotion in her tone, but that was enough for Martin to be happy. It was his lifelong dream to let Alice see his talent, that is the exact reason why he joined the Dynasty of Death Academy because he wanted to follow Alice.
"It's not surprising for such as yourself to notice it, Principal. Yes, I have been working hard in my Gravity Manipulation and finally managed to break through." Martin answered, but everyone could hear that there was no arrogance in his tone, it was a tone full of respect toward their Principal. Though they can fully understand why he is acting like that, in the eyes of someone like Alice, what he has done was something not that amazing.
"I see, good for you then. Continue working hard." Alice left Martin with those words as she got her focus back on the two bracelets that were in her hands. Looking at them more carefully, she can now see the difference between the two, and just like what Mio has said. The two were different from each other, Class A's bracelets were nothing but jewelry and it doesn't do anything, while Class F's bracelets would make them significantly weaker. As if her mind had been opened to what was happening under her nose, she got a little angry at herself for not noticing such a thing, she can only imagine how much suffering her students were feeling when they had a practical Magic Exam. This leads to the answer why Class F would get bad grades overall, it was because of this reason, they were cheated because they have no power and wealth.
"Martin, investigate this problem thoroughly. I want to know every person who is held accountable for this, I shall punish them myself. And for the Classes that are bullying the weak… you will soon get your punishment." Her words struck all of the students deeply inside their minds, but the two classes were feeling different kinds of emotions. For Class A, it was nothing but fear and anxiety, but for Class F it was the complete opposite. Happiness, excitement, and gratefulness. Their nearing one year of suffering could finally end, but the memory of them being cheated was still fresh in their minds as if it only happened yesterday. Every day they could see the arrogance, and smugness of each Class that they had defeated them, but they couldn't do anything because all of them only came from a poor family and a place such as the Dynasty of Death Academy which was already a clear disadvantage to them.
"Thank you so much, Principal. We are eternally grateful to you." All Class F students bowed their heads toward Alice and shouted at the same time. Some of them were even crying out of happiness because of what just happened. Their tone was full of gratefulness for Alice, especially for Lian who was the Class President, she was the one who was in charge of their Class, and she was guilty of what was happening to them. Lian had already thought of going to Alice to get some help about their situation, but without any prior evidence she cannot do anything about it and that thought makes her depressed because she cannot help her fellow classmates.
"This is nothing, this is my job as the Principal of this Academy. I also apologize to each and every one of you for only noticing this mistake, I promise to all of you that this will not happen ever again." And to everyone's shock, Alice slightly bowed her head to Class F and even apologized to them which made all of them speechless.
"NO! We are not worthy of such words, Principal. Please don't bow your head at us." Liao Xi immediately looked up and tried to stop Alice from bowing her head. This scene only made Mio chuckle in response, but no one saw her laughing because all of them still hadn't gotten their things together after seeing Alice apologize to the worst Class in the Academy. Mio waited for a while to calm things down because she didn't want to ruin this moment for the students to interact with their Principal and even have a good relationship with her, but when she saw that things had finally calmed down, she spoke up.
"Sorry to interrupt your little talk, but Miss Alice. Can I ask for my schedule? You didn't give me any permanent schedule and just left me after we got to Class F."
