His bold words, when referring to so many powerful people, angered them.
"Who are you calling an idiot, you bastard Cooper? Who do you think you are for having some power!?" A similar shout came out of the mouths of some of those present.
"I said quiet!" shouted Noah Davies again, causing everyone to quiet down again.
Several of them thought angrily toward Reagan Cooper, not realizing that Noah's cry was to keep the teachers at the Academy from dwindling. Rather than defending Reagan, he was looking to save these idiots who only knew how to cause trouble.
Still, one person in the audience stepped forward. "Director Noah, as Head of the Disciplinary Committee, I am to bring order and punish students who do bad things. This was stipulated by the Three Academy Leaders, so even you can't get in my way when I have to do my job." He said and pulled out the token, naming him Head of this Disciplinary Committee.
Noah Davies simply let out a snort and looked at Matt. "Boy, I haven't seen you in a while, and you look like you grew up a little." Noah said, and Matt nodded at him.
"Well, a lot has happened, Director."
Noah nodded and looked at Reagan Cooper again, then at the Head of the Disciplinary Committee, who was approaching Matt. Finally, he looked back at Matt.
"What are you going to do? These guys are claiming murder on a fellow student. Although a lot of people seem to be spreading those rumors, I didn't buy into them. You played by the rules pretty well back then, and I don't see you as someone who likes to break the rules." Noah said.
Matt shrugged. "I tend to have a basis for doing things, also some rules that I work by, but I'm not a blind rule follower, so I don't mind breaking them if it benefits me. And this time, I didn't come back to hide, and while I don't care what others think of me, I'm not going to let some stupid people say fallacies about me." Matt said.
As soon as he finished saying this, the Head of the Disciplinary Committee tried to put his hand on Matt's shoulder.
But suddenly, Matt's hand reached up and grabbed the guy's arm tightly.
He panicked and tried to force himself away but to no avail.
Matt smiled. "Well, it sounds kind of interesting. And since Sophia Murphy invited me, it would be rude not to go." He replied, smiling.
Reagan Cooper was a little surprised by this. 'Does he even know Sophia Murphy that much like that?' Still, he nodded at him.
"Haha, be careful on your way to First Academy, kid."
Matt then grabbed Isla by the waist and flew at high speed out of there, leaving the place deathly silent.
Though several of them fell to their knees from the pressure they had felt, there was no sound besides that.
Everyone was in shock and several minutes went by.
Until Noah Davies reacted and glared at everyone here. "Stop causing stupid trouble every time over stupid issues. Do you realize who you are trying to grab? Matthew Dietrich, with his current power, his status in the Allens will rise to the point where no one will be able to touch him!" Noah Davies bristled at this and shot them a look of fury.
"If you want to die, die on your own, don't drag the Academy into your bullshit!" After saying this, he turned around, angry, and walked out of there.
Reagan Cooper did the same, although he went the other way.
...
Matthew and Isla, after leaving the Academy, headed for the train station. Matt had already bought the tickets to leave today, so as soon as they arrived, they got on and set off in the direction of the First Academy.
Although flying would be a quicker option to get there, Matt wanted to follow the procedures the old-fashioned way this time.
He didn't have many thoughts about it; he was just enjoying a moment of peace, looking at the horizon.
