Chapter 89: (3000) Professor, Who Exactly Are You Standing Up For?

"But this is impossible, right? Big Boss's talent is indeed powerful, but..." Professor Jerryl frowned: "But he is only Second Stage, and the Abyssal Magic Dragon Body's strength has already reached Demigod. Why would Big Boss be worthy of his fear?"

"Indeed."

"Indeed, this simply cannot be explained."

Inside the Meeting Room, whispers suddenly rose.

There was no way around it—a Demigod fearing a Second Stage underage mage was impossible from any angle.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, these professors would probably think the person who spread this news had eaten poisonous mushrooms soaked in an old woman's Chest Wrap and was hallucinating.

But now, the facts indisputably appeared before everyone.

Whether they were Full Moon Academy's teachers and professors, or the Legendaries who came to watch the match, they were all utterly baffled.

Was it this world that had gone wrong, or were they?

"You say..."

Suddenly, Professor Jerryl spoke again. This time, his voice was very low, and his words were carefully chosen: "You say Big Boss, could he be an Abyss Undercover?"

"What did you say?" War God Bas was the first to frown.

"Mind your words." Liuli also narrowed her eyes, and killing intent rose from her body.

The Full Moon Queen said nothing, only her gaze toward Jerryl carried cold frost.

"I am just making a reasonable speculation." Professor Jerryl dry-coughed twice, holding his ground against the pressure: "Don't you think all this is too hard to explain? A Second Stage mage instantly killed a Fourth Rank Magic Dragon Believer, and made the Magic Dragon's soul perish in trembling."

"Do you think such a thing is possible?"

"Then what do you mean?" the Order High Priest asked doubtfully.

"I am wondering, could this be a play put on for us?" Jerryl tapped the table: "You must know, Full Moon Academy, as the most solid Fortress of Shi Jie, has always been a thorn in the Abyss's flesh and a thorn in its eye."

"They cannot deal with the Academy, so they came up with this insider plan."

"With the achievements from the Second Round Assessment, Big Boss can naturally gain our attention, and then step by step enter the Academy's core."

"After that, they can replicate the process, giving Big Boss achievements bit by bit, letting him gain trust step by step and control the Academy."

"By then, the Abyss will cooperate with him from inside and outside. If that is really the case..."

Saying this, Professor Jerryl took a deep breath and lightly patted the table: "All is lost."

As his words fell, the entire Meeting Room fell into silence once again.

To be fair, Jerryl's speculation was not groundless.

In a sense, this story did provide a reasonable explanation for Big Boss's various unreasonable behaviors. Seeing everyone's expressions, Jerryl looked toward Big Boss in the Projection, the corner of his mouth curving up imperceptibly.

Actually, he was not at all sure whether Big Boss was an Undercover, nor did he care in the slightest.

If the sky fell, the Legendaries would hold it up, and the Abyss was not his to deal with.

Anyway, the situation was stable now; even by the day he died, he might not see the World End.

But he still deliberately steered Big Boss's identity toward the direction of Undercover.

As for the reason, of course it was because of his daughter Jiali's withdrawal.

As Full Moon Academy's Dean of Teaching, he had always been a very realistic holder of real power.

Relying on his position to throw his weight around in the Academy, letting subordinates do the work while he took the credit—this had been his code of conduct for many years.

But right under the nose of such a powerful professor, his daughter was forced to withdraw, and the nickname "Smile Blend Variable Qi" was still spreading all over the Academy.

All of this had to do with Big Boss and that foolish Last Princess of the Blood Clan, Latanaya.

Yes, Jiali's personality was indeed a bit wayward.

But setting aside the facts, did you, Big Boss, have no fault at all? In this Assessment, he had wanted to target Big Boss, but Big Boss's performance was too dazzling, and all his targeting had no effect.

And those old fogeys of the Sage Academy, who usually had very high requirements, didn't know what madness had taken them, actually indulging Big Boss in every way.

Professor Jerryl was about to be driven mad with anger.

But he could not openly target Big Boss; that would be too easily noticed by other teachers, even the Dean.

If Jerryl did not cherish his feathers, he would never have made it to today or sat in his current position.

But now it was different; his words contained not a shred of targeting toward Big Boss, only deep worry for the future of Tianming Continent.

Was there any teacher more responsible than he? Watching his own few casually spoken words draw everyone's thoughts toward Big Boss being an Undercover, Jerryl secretly rejoiced.

Just then, he felt two gazes filled with killing intent.

One came from Liuli, and the other came from... the Full Moon Queen.

She examined Jerryl and smiled mockingly: "Professor, do you really believe Big Boss is an Abyss Undercover."

"Or are you thinking of standing up for your daughter?"

With a click, Jerryl's heart trembled, and he sweated profusely.
