Kelin had clearly noticed Krom's sidelong glance—but chose not to comment.
Instead, he turned toward the crowd gathered outside the academy gates and barked coldly,
"What are you all staring at? Lioncrest Academy is merely dealing with a lunatic who's lost all reason. There's nothing to see. Get lost!"
But the onlookers only grew more agitated.
Naturally, their indignation was directed at Kelin's remarks.
They hadn't even stepped past the academy threshold—just watching from outside—and that alone wasn't allowed?
It was obvious the higher-ups at Lioncrest Academy were simply too ashamed to let the truth spread. Now they were trying to shut their doors and cover up the disgrace.
And not everyone was going to let that slide.
Some spectators, especially those who loved chaos and drama, only grew more fired up.
One voice shouted,
"Why can't we look? What, afraid people will find out the truth? Is Lioncrest Academy scared of this young man or something?!"
