"Hmm?" It felt strange. Facing the closed classroom door, I had a lingering feeling that there was something behind this pale white door, staring at me like a wolf, waiting for the "slaughtered lamb" to enter its hunting range.
What could it be? My cold sweat kept flowing, and my back was tightly stuck to my clothes. A terrifying aura, what could it be?
My trembling right hand slowly lifted. Should I go in? How can I attend class if I don't go in? But I had a clear feeling that it was not just one or two "wolves," but a pack of "wild wolves." I faintly heard the low howling of the wolf pack, the grinding of sharp claws, and the fluctuations of magic power.
Magic fluctuations? Someone activated magic in the classroom. A fight? Impossible, it's too quiet. There are no traces at all, no sound of pages turning in books, no gossiping and laughter from girls. Even footsteps are absent. This is very strange. Moreover, our classroom is in a state of complete isolation, with no one passing by, no one coming in or out. The students from other classes find it odd, and I feel many eyes secretly watching this place. They seem to have an unspoken agreement to avoid it.
It's a trap! Definitely a trap! My right hand, which was close to the door handle, suddenly retracted, and my feet involuntarily took a step back. What kind of classroom is this? Usually, except for Lilith, this classroom is the safest place. Every day, everyone chats harmoniously and happily in this classroom. There has never been a sense of crisis like today. This feeling is like the eve of a kidnapping case ten years ago, causing me to tremble with suppressed fear.
"Tic toc... tic toc..." Time passes by second by second, and there's not much time left until class starts. "Ring..." The bell rings for class.
Ah! I don't care anymore. I can't afford to lose the perfect attendance award.
I tightly grab the door handle and push the door with all my strength!
Silence! It's quiet, but it's very dark, so dark. It's early morning, yet it's so black. As expected...
Before I could react, several iron chains fly out from a corner of darkness and bind me up!
"What's going on? Class Monitor!" I know what this is. I also understand what is waiting for me.
These are the Magic tools of our Class Monitor, Shi Xueqi - the "Wheel of Judgment of Time." It is used to judge criminals, and usually the Class Monitor doesn't use it except during stage assessments. I was surprised the first time I saw it, and in the society, people who use "judgment" type Magic tools are typically engaged in professions related to criminal law. However, for an ordinary girl like her, such Magic tools are too bloody. So I have a deep impression of her because of it.
But the problem is, our Class Monitor is usually very honest, rule-abiding, and promotes unity among the classmates, but today, as soon as she entered the classroom, she bound me up. How did this happen? What's going on?
"Peng!" The door closes, and I am hung high by the iron chains in a zigzag shape. I struggle continuously, but these iron chains are indeed strong and they tighten the more I struggle.
"Give up, Qin Yang! This will only make you more miserable! As the Class Monitor, I am truly sorry about this treatment towards you!" A girl with a blue light iron wheel in her hand appears on the judgment platform built by the "Wheel of Judgment of Time," overlooking me. The classroom ceiling certainly isn't that high. And beside her stand a group of black-clad individuals, while on my left and right, there is a black-clad person holding a magic camera.
"Hey, everyone, let's stop playing now that class has begun. I'm a good student, too!"
"Qin Yang, because we are classmates, I won't make things difficult for you. As long as you can answer our questions honestly, we will release you and we’ll be good classmates in the future. But if you don't answer our questions truthfully, you will no longer be our classmate, and you will be blacklisted! This class can be temporarily changed to a self-study session, so don’t hope for the teacher to save you. Do you understand?" The Class Monitor says seriously.
"Alright! I promise you, just hurry up and ask!" Damn these tight iron chains.
Suddenly, a magic formation appears under my feet, and a sharp iron spike presses against my chin. The Class Monitor indeed...
"I told you not to move. Once the power of the 'Wheel of Judgment of Time' is officially activated, it will be bad if you get injured."
"Under... understood!""Qin Yang, from now on, your words will be taken as evidence in court. You must answer the following questions truthfully, but you have the right to remain silent. However, silence will be considered as admission and you must answer. Additionally, the 'Wheel of Time's Judgment' comes with a lie detector~~~~~" After the squad leader finished his vague statement, he stretched out the final two words in a deliberately dramatic manner.
"Understood?" The crowd of people in black uniforms spoke in unison, their momentum awe-inspiring.
"Un...un...derstood!"
"First question, Qin Yang, where were you at eleven o'clock noon three days ago?"
"Zhanlan Tian Academy!"
The 'Wheel of Time's Judgment' showed no response.
"Second question, why?"
"To save someone."
The 'Wheel of Time's Judgment' showed no response.
"Who were you trying to save?"
"Lilith."
The 'Wheel of Time's Judgment' showed no response.
"Third question, who went with you?"
"The president, Xiao Ya."
The 'Wheel of Time's Judgment' showed no response.
"Fourth question, who defeated Situ Ming?"
"I don't know."
The 'Wheel of Time's Judgment' showed no response.
"Hmm? Strange, why..." Everyone present was surprised by this result! Not knowing, the 'Wheel of Time's Judgment' showed no response. It proved that it was indeed telling the truth. That was expected!
"Well, the fifth question, who kissed Xiao Ya?"
"Kiss?" This question was shocking!
"Answer me!"
"I don't know."
The 'Wheel of Time's Judgment' showed no response.
"This is too strange. Squad leader, are you sure the 'Wheel of Time's Judgment' is working?" This was Wang Ming's voice. Hey, you bastard, how come you're here too! You're one of the few friends I have who talks more!
"It's already working!" The squad leader said as he looked at the 'Wheel of Time's Judgment,' which emitted a blue light.
"But this is too strange. How can he not know?" Wang Ming was too agitated. "You traitor, you get to enter the Student Union's heaven and still show off! You don't care about the feelings of us who are waiting eagerly to get into the Student Union! Now, with the news of Xiao Ya's fiancé, how devastated are we? Ah, do you know? Sob sob!" Wang Ming cried as he spoke, clearly deeply hurt.
"Hey, listen to me. This has nothing to do with me!" I was confused myself!
"Stop talking nonsense. The last question: do you know the secrets that can't be known to outsiders? For example, who is engaged to whom, who is someone's fiancé, and so on." The squad leader thought for a moment and asked a suggestive question!
"Um!" My mind quickly recalled what the president had said before I passed out, but can I say it?
"I don't know!"
Suddenly, the 'Wheel of Time's Judgment' tightened the iron chains, causing me pain. Magic arrays flashed in the space, and iron spikes instantly extended, filling all directions. It was ready to attack, and in the next moment, it could turn into a hornet's nest.
"Hehe! Don't know? Or don't want to say."
"Ahaha! Well... uh..."
"Tell the truth!" It was another N harmony. My eardrums! I'm getting hurt for the second time today!
"By the way, why do all of you care so much about this question?"
"You don't need to know about this question. Anyway, the entire school is looking for the silver-haired person."
"Even if that's the case, I still don't know! I don't know!" In an instant, the iron spikes became denser.
"Tell the truth, or you will definitely suffer torment. Don't worry, you won't die."
"I won't die, and I won't say it!" I shouted, but it was useless. This was a special space, and no one could hear it unless...
"Nofis!!!"
Black and white feathers scattered in the space, and all the magic arrays, iron spikes, and iron chains disappeared together.
With an emotionless face and icy expression, I didn't know when or how she appeared, but I knew she was already standing there.
"Disappear!" Nofis waved her right hand, and the entire space shattered like glass. The 'Wheel of Time's Judgment' flashed briefly, and the magic tools were damaged, just like their owners.
The squad leader slumped quietly in the arms of a certain person in black, staring fixedly at Nofis!
