37 Hypnotism?

As the people behind him were extremely quiet, the principal was clueless as to what was happening behind him.

He forcefully pulled the handsome man as he made his way to the teacher's meeting room. Getting closer, he realized that something was amiss.

Usually, when a teacher's meeting took place, the students would be very noisy. That was why he wasn't suspicious earlier, as there were still many students who were making noise.

Now, it was very quiet. The only sounds he could hear were the rustling of the leaves outside and the chirping of the birds, as well as the handsome man's voice.

"Let... let me go!"

The principal twitched upon hearing the handsome man's pleas. Every word of the handsome man was pushing his will to the limit.

For a human being, his voice was way too alluring. Upon hearing it, many were immediately hypnotized.

The principal was already in his fifties, so he wasn't affected as much as the "hot-blooded youngsters", as he liked to call them.

However, he was a human being, so hearing someone with a voice as angelic as Zhou Lei's still affected him.

He rubbed his forehead as he tried to resist more.

He finally got enough of the silence and abruptly stopped. His grip on the handsome man was released as well.

Zhou Lei felt his arm finally get free. He stood up and got ready to run away when he was reminded of the massive mob following him.

The principal turned his head slowly.

'!!!'

There... there are so many people there! Why the heck?! Even the students?

The principal looked at Zhou Lei, who was scared as well. His terror, however, couldn't be seen on his face.

That was because Zhou Lei's panicked face did not look terrified at all. In fact, it looked more like he was enjoying it.

'Why the heck is he exhilarated to see this? What a psycho!'

The principal was forcing himself to think these thoughts, for if he doesn't, he might as well end up like those students and teachers in the far end of the hallway.

"Students! Go back to your classrooms this instant." The principal shouted. He used his authority to make the students go back.

However, nothing happened.

"Stu... students! Go back!"

The students only stared at Zhou Lei, and wasn't aware of the principal at all! Even though the principal's voice was loud, it only entered one ear and exited the other.

"..." The principal was speechless. He didn't expect that he, the highest authority in this school present, would be ignored like that.

Suddenly, Zhou Lei made a move. He stood up and swept the dust off of his clothes. His every action was smooth, mesmerizing everyone even more!

"Uh... I, uh..." Zhou Lei started speaking, but, not knowing what to say, he stuttered.

"Uh, get back to your classrooms?"

As Zhou Lei said that, the students turned around and went back to their respective classrooms.

"W-what?" The principal was confused. Why did the students follow the handsome boy's commands while they didn't follow his?

Did he use some kind of magic? Was that it?
