Chapter 125: Lie in Wait

Chapter 125: Lie in Wait

Evelyn tried her best not to roll her eyes at their farce, just in case they had other cards to reveal before it all came crashing down on their heads, but she was starting to wonder how exactly Donna planned to deal with her now.

After all, her best bet had been to have the beast kill her, and now that she already stopped its rampage, there was absolutely no justification to allow Evelyn's death.

Even if she convinced everyone of her 'guilt', a junior professor couldn't just execute a student. Even a senior professor could only expel her at most. And as long as she remained alive, didn't Donna realize that Aurora wouldn't just undo everything, but also make them suffer for trying to harm her?

'She better reveal her 'genius' plan before Aurora gets impatient'

The female professor shook her head with a sigh. "For petty jealousy, you used such a vicious scheme that caused the death of multiple students You since you enjoyed using this beast as a tool to murder, you might as well show us how well you can control it!"

As soon as her words fell, walls of spirit power surrounded Evelyn as well, and with a wave of her hand, Donna made Evelyn's cage slide towards the mountain rhino's.'

Not to mention the students, even some rangers flinched when they saw the little girl being locked in the cage with the beast, with the professor clearly intending to get her killed.

Some of the students obviously knew of Evelyn's identity as Aurora's student, and felt terrified when they thought of the tyrannical way that lady dealt with anyone who offended the little girl.Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

If they were part of the group because of which she got executed

"P-Professor Donna, s-she's!"

Donna snorted as she mobilized her spirit power to forcefully shut the boy's mouth. "It doesn't matter who she is! All students are equal in my eyes."

Some of them couldn't help but look at each other in both perplexity and fear. It was one thing for it to happen accidentally while they were out to gain experience, but for a professor to do it

Evelyn also realized from their interaction that perhaps, in this group, only Riley had been a part of Donna's plans to frame her, and the rest were unrelated. 'If she intends to dispose of them all later to erase evidence it makes sense to lose only one pawn, and makes the whole thing look more credible if everyone in the group is unrelated to her'

As their cages were stuck together, and only a thin wall of spirit power separated her from being gored to death, Donna stared at the girl's face closely to savor her look of despair, but found only a smile.

With her words, the barrier separating the two cages disappeared, and the mountain rhino's eyes instantly locked onto the now vulnerable girl.

Evelyn couldn't help but gulp. 'D-Don't tell me she's still not here, right? Do I really have to use the cloaking skill here?'

After all, she was sure that her teacher wouldn't let any of the innocent students die, and if she showed her cloaking skill in front of them, it would no longer be a secret trump card, but was likely to become a known skill that enemies could be then wary of.

Gritting her teeth, Evelyn really couldn't bring herself to take any chances, and since the barrier had disappeared and she could die at any moment, she immediately crushed the protection bead that Aurora gave her. 'Hopefully, she'll show up before this thing runs out of energy Or I'll really have to use it'

Of course, the moment Evelyn had sent the signal, Aurora had rushed to her location immediately. By the time Donna had trapped the mountain rhino in a spirit cage, she was already there. The only one she couldn't have saved was Mirah.

However, the reason she didn't reveal herself wasn't because she wanted to tease or punish her little student, but because she could feel that there was another familiar existence nearby. As she had arrived later, and her ability to hide was superior, they probably couldn't detect her existence at all.

At the same time, though, she also couldn't tell exactly where the other person was, or even who they were. That was why she had been waiting in case they made a move and revealed themselves.

Evelyn had already assured her that as long as she was given a little time to prepare, she could hide herself perfectly and be impervious to damage, making it so no matter the situation, Aurora didn't need to worry about her while handling the threat.

However, it seemed like her student didn't understand the full extent of the plot, and thought that professor Donna was the real mastermind, as was clear by her confused and distressed face.

Aurora couldn't help but feel conflicted, but soon calmed down. 'No this kind of opportunity won't come by again if I let it go. They will be infinitely more cautious later.'

The platinum blonde nodded to herself. It was better to let Evelyn suffer a little here to pick out this hidden thorn completely. Unless the girl really couldn't endure it anymore, Aurora decided to wait!

'Sorry Evelyn but you have to endure it for now.'
