The weeks of suspension had already ended however the effects that it had caused has yet to be completely gone.

"See dude, I knew the Autarch Society was suspicious."

"Yeah I can already tell. I just sent my resignation letter to let me leave that club."

Others gossiped and bad mouthed Christian who was currently in a pitiful position.

"I thought the incident with the underwear was false, but to think Christian would harm his peers."

"Rose, you should hurry up and break up with him."

The abrupt manner her name was pulled into the conversation caught Rose's attention as she stammered in an attempt to answer

"Uh, um. Christian really isn't like that."

Although she said that she knew what Christian has done in order to get his goals.

It was unusual that he would be so reckless but she followed him since she was a child so it was too late to suddenly stop.

Having her friends constantly doubt their relationship was painful, equivalent to betrayal.

She knew they were just trying to look out for her as friends but the harassment was too much.

Rose learnt how disgusting the human nature was, seniors would ask her to break off her engagement so that she could marry them instead.

Girls would bully her seeing that the backing behind her was placed in a bad light.

It was hypocritical as she understood this scene was disgusting however forcing a close friend to die is not.

Hurrying to her dorm, she felt empty.

Hiding herself using the blankets and curling up into a ball she couldn't help think

'Christian, what happened?'

...

Christian had finally returned to school but his troubles were never ending.

The fiery glares, vicious words, despicable pointing truly stung

To make matters worse he couldn't allow anymore reckless actions to happen within school grounds.

People who were extremely close to the dead people that died in the hunt for the Horned Viper Murderer was pinning all the blame on him.

They would take Christian towards a desolate place in school and attempt to beat Christian into a pulp however they were limited to blunt objects.

In the end, Christian dodged all their attacks however no matter how much he wanted to retaliate there was a voice that told him to stop.

'Such a tiny school holding me back.'

Christian was tempted to grab the attention of all the students and look for one of the students who was in that folder.

Thinking of that, a brick soon landed on his head that made him numb but his rationality was lost.

Drawing out a sword, he pointed it to the person who harmed him and brought forth a fierce some aura

"I've had enough of this game."

The man dropped his brick in fear and fell onto his knees however Christian still had some injuries.

Dust and dirt was now mixed into his hair, cuts and bruises populated his visible body while the bright energetic sensation from his eyes were now dull.

Walking into a more populated area, a typhoon of humiliation was felt.

Everyone avoided him like a plague and only dared to talk trash when he was far away.

A few of those sentences caused Christian to speak out

"Huh, WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT."

The provocation caused a few students to back away from the area as the pure aggression from Christian was too much for them to handle.

Others looked in disdain at the once gifted child that now turned into a mess.

His original plan was to look for a certain guy under the name of 'Leonard'. After listing out all the clues he had managed to gather Christian formulated a few understandings.

'According to the poster and lecture I was given, there were at least 20 people who betrayed me within the time period of the hunt'

If it was random person who was told of the event and wanted to slander me due to a motivation of destroying my organization then that would make no sense.

The reason being that his teammates and people he worked with would've said something to defuse the matter.

considering how the event has escalated, Christian could only guess that at best they would bandwagon with the main culprits.

From those clues this meant that Christian was able to come to the conclusion that without a doubt it was someone who worked with him during the hunt.

This was further defined by the 'witness' word used.

Christian wracked his head but realized he was getting ahead of himself.

He should've just thought backwards to find where all of this originated from.

The reason why there was a crowd and the Head of Disciplinary Actions standing in front of the academy was because he sent messengers to spread the message of his fame.

It meant that it was those scums who betrayed him. For one person to persuade at least 20 people was very difficult making the whole team that was sent was 100% traitors.

Christian began to doubt his skills in leadership and wondered if an undercover spy from another organization had purposely done this but that was ruled out as it was impossible for a whole group of sellouts to enter his close circle.

Using the process of elimination, it was impossible for small fries to do this so it had to be somebody close enough with him.

A person high in power, someone who knows the layout of his group well enough that they dare to choose people to betray me, confident that this matter wouldn't spread.

Who?

As if god was answering his questions, Ayesha stood before him.

Christian felt like his mind had reached an enlightenment as he laughed in irony.

'I knew you hated me, but to try and ruin my reputation hehe... you're a 100 years too young to be doing that.'

Ayesha immediately ran away from his sights as he followed in haste in order to find and pursue the truth of this matter.

"He has taken the bait."
