The headmaster raised a brow as he settled into his seat and waved Mark over to the opposite seat. The headmaster wondered what Mark meant by what he said, and he smiled as he thought that Mark was just happy to talk to him.
"Well, I am glad to speak with you as well, Mr. Vanitas."
Mark nodded. He did not even care what was going through the headmaster's mind. All he knew was that every moment he spent in here was one less moment he had to be in class. Arit would kill him if he didn't go to class, so he had to at least show up for a while, so he just wanted the headmaster to cut into that time as much as physically possible.
The headmaster's office was a grand room with mahogany floors and dull brown walls. There were paintings of all the former headmasters hanging on the wall behind the headmaster's seat, and a large grandfather clock was standing at one corner of the room imposingly. Mark knew that staying in this room at night would be like being in a B-rated horror movie.
Imagine all these old men staring at you in the dark and then hearing the grandfather clock ring just at the wrong moment. Mark chuckled as he imagined Arit's reaction to something like that. She'd probably scream like a crazy person.
"Mr. Vanitas, I understand that you are going to have to be in class soon, so I won't take up much of your time. Firstly, I would like to express my utmost gratitude on behalf of the entire student and staff body of Nature Academy for your constant efforts to protect us from danger.
I did not know anything about the challenges that you faced, and as an educator, I shoulder full responsibility for that oversight. But now that we are aware, we can only thank you for risking your life for our sake."
The headmaster bowed his head slightly in gratitude, and Mark was a little shocked by the amount of sincerity he could sense in his words. The headmaster must be truly grateful if he was going this far. Mark did not like being thanked so much, so he just tried to wave the tense situation away and told the headmaster that everything was alright. see-more-NovelFire
The headmaster continued without missing a beat.
"So, in light of that generous conversation that your guardian had with the school board, I have made it my personal duty to ensure that your school life is as stress-free as possible. Should there be any issues, anything at all, please do not hesitate to contact me. I will ensure that any and all resources are properly utilized to rectify the issue. Is that understood?"
The headmaster was looking Mark right in the eye as he said all of this, and Mark could hear another hidden meaning under the headmaster's words. Mark was a little unnerved by how willing the headmaster was to do anything just to make Mark happy, but Mark didn't let it show on his face. Mark didn't really need something like this.
Mark knew that there would be some issues in the school, but it wasn't like he couldn't handle them himself. No one would be stupid enough to challenge him since they knew how strong he was anyway. Instead, Mark decided to use this opportunity to cover another issue that could occur.
"Thank you for the offer. I'll keep it in mind and come to you if I ever have any issues, but I don't think I will be having issues with the students since most of them know I'm stronger than them. But I'm worried that my friends would have to deal with the anger and threats from other students. This might compromise their student life and prevent them from being able to study properly.
Perhaps there is something you can do about that."
The headmaster immediately understood what Mark was talking about. When it came down to friends, the only person who could fit that category in this school was Arit. The headmaster knew that what Mark said was right. There were many girls in the school that really liked Mark now that they knew that he was GHOST.
Just from the amount of female screams that the headmaster heard earlier this morning, he knew that more than two-thirds of the female population would be trying to get Mark's attention in one way or another.
And women can be terrifyingly scary when they are trying to get a man's attention.
