T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

As expected of a member of the academic clique who can band together in a top university, even though he was beaten senseless, he quickly came up with a story in his mind and started crying and pleading as soon as he saw Kurien.

Kurien glanced at the "battlefield" and saw that only one mentor had lost three fingers, which calmed him down.

"These kids can still tell the difference between what's important and what's not."

He raised his head, feigning anger: "Mint, Anna has always respected talent and appreciated genius. I provided you with many conveniences for your duel with Renee, but you broke into the Imperial Academy, caused trouble, and injured people. Don't you think that's extremely disrespectful to Anna?"

Seeing that His Majesty was backing them up, and not caring whether they looked pathetic in the eyes of the onlookers, the mentors swarmed forward to denounce Mint's cruelty.

Ironically, when it came to Renee, who directly caused one person's five fingers to become two, everyone simply mentioned that she "needs to be disciplined more strictly."

Jiang Heyi felt that if Renee really killed someone, they would at most just be "angry".

"Your Majesty Kurien, I wish to report this."

"Hmph, you injured a highly respected professor from the Imperial Academy, and now you're trying to cry wolf and twist the truth in front of so many people?"

Kurien deliberately glanced back at the growing crowd of students; almost all the students on campus had found the best vantage point to observe how things were unfolding.

"Okay, okay, I'll hear your explanation first."

"This isn't a defense, it's a report." Mint pointed out loudly, taking a deep breath. "I'm reporting that the instructors at the Star Speaker Academy are in cahoots, colluding to conceal expenses, falsify accounts, embezzle funds for wild mage materials, and falsely report expenditures. They deliberately create two distinct positions within the academy: wild mages and nobles. They artificially elevate the status of noble students, persecute new students, and incite conflict, all to profit from this without being exposed."

"They abused their power for personal gain, undermined His Majesty's rule over Anna, shook the confidence of countless enlightened individuals who believed in the fairness of education in the Imperial Academy, and lined their own pockets!"

Really loud.

The accusation from the most sought-after rising star of magic in all of Anna, who was once an outstanding student expelled from the Star Speaker Academy, was like a thunderbolt, leaving every noble accompanying him with a buzzing head.

Even the students watching were speechless for a long time.

Only Kurien remained unmoved, and even seemed to approve of Mint's words.

Is what she said true?

Kurien's voice landed like the beating of a large drum.

It's less like a question and more like... a conviction.

Chapter 397 The Lion King

Mint's impassioned and righteous tone came out without any preamble, but if Kurien wanted to achieve his goal, emotion alone was not enough.

In the earliest version she envisioned, she focused on cultivating emotions centered around corruption.

The four prototypes glanced at it and shook their heads repeatedly.

Under his guidance, corruption still occupies a large portion of the text, but what remains are crimes that are enough to make the instructors of the Star Speaker Academy, from top to bottom, goosebumps.

They deliberately created a conflict between wild mages and nobles.

They are digging into the channels for the Awakened to rise, shaking the pillars of the Kurien's balanced nobility.

Either of these is a dangerous topic, like weighing a thousand pounds.

Even corruption seems more benign in comparison.

“If he wants to settle scores with the academic clique, he needs to find the right weapon. You need to give him a choice when you deliver the message, otherwise it will seem awkward for him to take the lead,” the Primordial said. “Given that you’ve been bullied by these scumbags, I’ve picked out a few good weapons for you, guaranteed to be sharp enough.”

No wonder he has the most experience as a corporate slave in the guild.

"Mint's private conduct is obviously terrible, and her ability to control her emotions proves that the criticisms of her by all the mentors are not out of discrimination, but rather out of objective and prudent composure."

As the person who was brutally beaten, Vanare, with his white hair and red eyes, tried hard to control the excessive resentment in his tone, but his clenched teeth and tense facial muscles all showed that he was furious.

Countless students witnessed his disgraceful behavior, leaving his self-esteem utterly devastated.

With things having come to this point, he had no way out and became a vanguard in the charge.

"How credible can the words of an excellent student who is driven by emotions, impulsive, easily angered, and violent be?"

"Your Majesty, please recall the explosion at the potion workshop that caused Mint the most controversy. Considering her actions today, was it really just a 'framing' as she claims? Given her impatient and irritable nature, couldn't it have been a serious experimental accident caused by her disregard for regulations?!"

The remaining professors echoed their sentiments, filled with righteous indignation, and recounted Mint's numerous misdeeds during her time at the university.

Disrespecting the mentor, illegally modifying potion recipes, engaging in unwarranted private fights...

In the blink of an eye, the wild mage idol who rose to prominence not long ago by fighting against Renee has become a tainted, arrogant, and wicked individual.

The stark contrast and sudden reversal caused the onlookers to whisper among themselves.

Kurien tacitly allowed the uproar to continue.

Silence is ambiguity, and ambiguity is bias.

Seeing the change in Kurien's attitude, the mentor became even more enthusiastic in exaggerating Mint's savagery and wickedness.

They said a lot, but Mint only said one thing.

"The potion ingredients I used before I dropped out of school don't match Renee's."

In short, the mentors' angry minds were doused with a bucket of cold water.

The two caused a huge scene after entering the academy, making everyone forget the most crucial point.

Kurien summoned the treasurer, who had been searching the academy for two days, and opened the marked potion ledger, finding the page where Peppermint and Renee were from two years ago.

He gently twirled the page, a slight twitch at the corner of his lips.

"Mint and Renee studied together for a year and a half, and their potion-related expense details are exactly the same."

With the parties involved present and the accounts reconciled, the credibility is quite high.

The students watching were even more astonished.

Most of them were new students who had dropped out of school and had not experienced the grand spectacle of a duel between two people.

But since Mint was able to defeat Renee, it's clear that she has a strong beauty. How could her mentor downgrade the materials she was given to such a genius?

"His Majesty!"

As one of the potion-making instructors, Vanaree knew he couldn't escape the truth and immediately defended himself.

"Two years have passed, and people's memories are bound to be biased. The supply of potion ingredients varies frequently, sometimes daily and sometimes weekly. Who can guarantee that this is not a generalization based on limited information?"

The Primal Body sneered: "Such a familiar move."

Jiang Heyi sighed: "I feel like you've tasted the same shameless excuses from someone else."

Renee interrupted angrily, "Are you doubting my memory?"

Vanaree dared not confront her, but solemnly reiterated: "No one's memory is 100% reliable. People tend to embellish the contents of their memories and embellish the parts that cause them pain. I think this is taught in the course of magical psychology."

Mint paused, her fist clenching tightly.

That old man, being able to teach magical psychology, definitely knows about Renee's pet being killed.

Bringing this up again at this point is utterly disgusting!

Kurien sensed Mint's anger. He pretended to defend the instructors, simply to let the students watching enjoy the ugly behavior of these people, so that they could embellish the news vividly and increase its spread.

Jiang Heyi had anticipated these scenes when he made the arrangements, and he asked Kurien to allow the mentor to slander and defame Mint.

When the reckoning and reversal take place, the Anau people will have a more three-dimensional impression of her, and the young magicians' admiration for her will reach a new level.

Reversal, whitewashing, effective publicity tactic.

"Mint is really lucky to have met them."

He sighed inwardly and cleared his throat.

“I agree with you that no one’s memory is truly reliable, but…”

The finance officer knelt down and presented a heavy set of accounts. Kurien used his hands as a table and gently turned the pages.

With just one glance, he let out a cold laugh.

“Vanare, come forward.”

Vanaree, not understanding why, moved closer to the accounts.

"Read the first sentence of the second paragraph."

Vanare recited blankly: "On June 2nd, Mint voluntarily withdrew from school."

He didn't know the deeper meaning behind those words.

Behind him, the person in charge of the potion department's accounts was trembling like a leaf.

“Don’t understand? Let me tell you.” Kurien’s face was ashen. “This is last year’s accounts.”

"Mint has been out of school for a whole year!"

The lion king let out a deafening roar, and the treasurer, who was holding the accounts in his hands, was so frightened by the imposing manner that he dropped his hands and hurriedly kowtowed.

The accounts are settled, and the pages are turned with the wind.

The pages listing the name of the mint went by in a flash.

Mint had been out of school for a year, yet the Star Speaker Academy still had her application reports using various magical materials.

The application form was entirely signed with Mint's name, and...

The autograph of the mentor, Vanaree.

Mint was dumbfounded. She had already seen through the shamelessness of these professors during the expulsion incident, but she never expected them to be this shameless.

She actually dropped out of school two years ago, but the report of her voluntary withdrawal was left at the Star Speaker Academy and was never filed.

The college advisors attributed all sorts of unresolved minor and major issues to her.

For a whole year, Mint became the most popular and promising rising star of magic at the Star Speakers Academy.

The resources she gained at the academy were something even the Glenn family behind Renee couldn't match.

Curious, she picked up the accounts and flipped through a couple of pages.

Everything went black.

"Experiment with the medicinal properties of the Fufeng Grass potion, the target medicinal property is... aphrodisiac?"

"what?"

This time, the boundary between reality and illusion that had been maintained by the gatekeepers on the sidelines could no longer be kept in check, and they all rushed forward to examine the ledger.

Upon seeing the enormous characters for "aphrodisiac," even knowing that a reckoning was imminent and they should be serious, they couldn't help but laugh.

"After knowing you for so long, I really didn't know you were a boy." Fries patted Mint on the shoulder. "Bro, you smell so good."

Mint was furious and continued turning the page.

The Influence of Slime Splitting Magic Fluctuations on the Generation of High-Level Mage Domains

The slime never imagined that its splitting would be related to such a high-level topic.

Half-dragon bloodline mixing experiment

What is the Star Speaker Academy doing? Artificial human experiments?

Targeted Experiment on Soil Embrittlement Caused by Magical Crop Growth Induction

It looks somewhat normal, but... this experiment was actually applied for by Mint, with a bunch of professors listed as researchers.

Mint's position within the Star Speakers Academy is quite Schrödinger's cat.

She could be a troublemaker secretly instructed by her mentor to ostracize her.

It can also be a self-selected experimental project, making it a favorite among many mentors to follow and guide.

Vanaree's vision went black, and he nearly fainted.

Is this what they call a flawless accounting?

The students watching were either laughing or blushing and turning their backs when they heard about the aphrodisiac.

Upon hearing this, I felt nothing but anger.

The wild mage was furious that the funds that should have been his were being misappropriated by his mentor.

The nobles were furious that the academy instructors were doing these things under their guise.

Young people, full of passion and vigor, clenched their fists and soon someone took the lead and shouted the first word.

"Punish them severely!"

"Punish them severely!"
