Chapter 539

Everyone understood perfectly well that Stein decided to visit Dick because of yesterday's events, where Baker dragged the dignity of his younger brother through the mud, which meant that he also tarnished the reputation of the older brother. The empress' senior disciple craves retribution! Who can stop him in this empire, except Lanatelle? Any reasonable person will say that only a miracle will save him…    

«I hope they'll make a chop out of you, a walking lipoma.» – Clementine whispered gloatingly, nudging Baker with her elbow, and left the room with a dancing gait.    

«Serves you right, brainiac.» – Seraphima said calmly, but with notes of joy.    

The twins were filled with deep dislike for the fat man after he poisoned them with narcotic gas, surpassed them in all subjects in the testing pavilion, and also took a higher position than them at the tournament of the best. They would like to see how Baker will be beaten, but alas, they will have to admire only the final result later.    

Everyone left, but Elsa voluntarily decided to stay. She mildly said: «Stein, please listen to me… Dick did not want to humiliate Rose, it happened because of the illness…»    

~BANG~    

Stein slapped the girl in the face, slamming her into the floor, and said fiercely: «Shut your fucking mouth, you brat! Do you think, since you have become a senior disciple, you can go against my will? Know your place! If you ever get in my way again, and I'll break your legs even though you're my brother's girlfriend.»    

The two Russells giggled nastily, covering their smiles with their palms. They were bursting with pride for their high position as "friends" of the empress's senior disciple.    

{The imperial phaser at the fifth stage…} – Kyon noticed gloomily. It seems that Stein is called the first genius in the empire for a reason. He is here like a tiger among hyenas. Nevertheless, a week ago, everyone believed that Rose had a higher potential than him… 3 years younger, pureer keys and connecting with the soul with a delay – that's the reason.    

With shock on her face, Elsa touched her red cheek, staring at the blond with a dazed look. The speed of his strike was amazing! Even if she had not let her guard down, she would hardly have had time to react. It seemed like she couldn't beat him. But the girl wasn't going to give up so easily either! Stone jumped up abruptly from the floor, intending to rebuff Valentine, or at least try to do it, but suddenly she heard a voice in her head…    

{«I can handle it. Go away. This is an order.»} – Kyon said firmly.    

Looking at the messenger of the goddess, Stone hesitated for a second, then nodded and left. She only hoped that he wouldn't be killed. No matter how much she hated him for blackmailing Juno and the story with "The Dark Baron", she did not want him to die.    

The girl was met by a crowd of disciples outside. They were in no hurry to disperse, because, obviously, they wanted to see the denouement: how severely Stein would punish Dick.    

Seeing the beauty with a burning cheek, the young people immediately understood everything. Of course, she is not in a position to stand in the way of Stein, who is eager to take revenge on Baker for the total humiliation of his family and brother.    

Elsa also stayed at the door. Kyon sent her away for a reason. Surely he has a plan, but what is it?! The lady was just bursting with curiosity.    

One disciple put her ear against the door and said softly: «They are talking about something!»    

A minute later, dull blows on the flesh were heard, and with them painful screams in a thin voice, clearly belonging to Dick. Then an evil laugh was heard, and the crackling of bones was added to the sounds of blows. The screams got louder and more desperate.    

Elsa bit her lips pitifully. She really wanted to rush inside to help.    

Clementine was smiling happily, shifting from one foot to the other with impatience.    

Seraphima looked much calmer, and there was a slight smile on her lips.    

The twins even ignored each other's existence: there was no time for that.    

One way or another, but everyone mentally already buried Baker. May the ground be heavy to you, fatty.    

Suddenly, the door opened, and Dick, completely unharmed, calmly walked out of the room… And with a completely serene look, as if he had been walking in the park all this time…    

«What's going on?» … «Is it my imagination?!» … «Pinch me!» – the disciples were confused and looked at each other in puzzlement, trying to find an explanation for what was happening. Finally, they looked inside the room and saw something incredible: Stein mercilessly beat his subordinates, breaking their bones!    

«What a lousy cloning technique… Do you think it will help you?!» – Stein growled hollowly and, grabbing Russell's hand, broke it on his knee like a dry branch.        

«WOO-WOO-WOO-AAH-AAH-AAH!» – the guy with red eyes howled in pain.     

The audience couldn't believe their eyes. He came to take revenge on Dick, but in the end he is beating his own henchmen half to death?! How has this happened?!    

Seraphima and Clementine were horrified, abruptly covered their mouths and noses, and rushed away.    

Elsa gasped at the realization of the reason for what was happening and sent a telepathic message to all the disciples: {«This is narcotic gas! Cover your faces or you'll get hurt!»}    

The disciples involuntarily remembered that sensational incident in the order and instantly covered their noses with pure energy, and a second later they were afraid that they would become Stein's next target, so they rushed away as fast as they could.    

«Another clone?! You won't get away from me!» – Stein barked and grabbed the fleeing disciple by the collar… Pale as death, the poor man did not have time to escape. The helplessly screaming victim was dragged into the alchemy room to be turned into mincemeat. The palace guards will save him, they will come to the rescue only in a minute.    

The rest of the disciples managed to escape, but they had goosebumps, and their hearts were shackled by fear from the methods that Dick uses against his detractors. The junior disciples of the empress vowed never to stand in the way of Baker.    

{Damn bastard, I've wasted all the demonic medicine because of you!} – Kyon gnashed his teeth in annoyance. He had to spend all his supplies, because the alchemy room has good ventilation, and Stein is the imperial phaser at the 5th stage.    

Now Lovr will have to lock himself in his room, because only there is now safe. Or he will have to teleport somehow. Fortunately, that mighty barrier starts from the 12th floor, which means that nothing will hinder the movement.
