Chapter 86: Crouch Down

After all the witnesses had finished speaking, Cromwell nodded slightly and looked at Su Ye. He said, “Carlos realized the ‘teaching as learning’ method three years ago. You said that when you were younger, you heard the story of a wise man named Feynman from a sailor, and that’s how you came up with this idea. However, Carlos has witnesses and material evidence. What evidence do you have? Is it the wise man named Feynman, or the sailor who sailed through whichever seas?”

The noble students laughed very cooperatively. Not to mention that they did not believe Su Ye, even if they did, Su Ye would not be able to find any witnesses and physical evidence that could prove that he discovered the method earlier than Carlos.

A noble shouted, “Hurry up and find the wise man!”

“That sailor will definitely remember you!”

Many nobles followed suit.

Many people looked at Su Ye coldly, including some of the teachers.

Carlos’ evidence was too ample. From three years ago until now, there were witnesses and material evidence. No matter how well Su Ye’s story was told, it was nothing in the face of solid evidence.

Most people slowly leaned towards Carlos.

Su Ye did not answer Cromwell’s question. Instead, he asked, “Carlos’ few witnesses all said the one thing. Carlos only brought up those things seven or eight days after school started. Obviously, he was later than me. On the second day of school, I have already told Hort the concepts of ‘teaching as learning’ and ‘map memorization’. Dear students of class three, those who remember my conversation with Hort on the second day, those who remember me teaching him, and those who remember the memorization method, please raise your hands.”

Hort was already prepared. He held the magic book open in his left hand and raised his right hand high. At the same time, he shouted, “I received guidance from Su Ye on the second day of school. I also wrote it down in my magic book. I even drew a very bad memory map. Everyone, look, this is real. I can’t change the time of the magic book. Master Plato can testify!”

After saying that, Hort also raised the magic book high and slowly turned around.

Many people saw that Hort’s book indeed had a very bad map drawn on it, and a strange pattern that no one could discern.

Almost the entire school knew Hort. Many people who originally thought that Su Ye was stealing began to hesitate.

Then, Laker raised his magic book high and also turned around and shouted, “I, Laker, can be considered to be somewhat famous in this academy. I also testify for Su Ye. On the second day of school, I wrote down this matter in my diary. I admit that at that time, I was jealous of Su Ye because in the past, whenever Hort had any questions, he would always ask me. I didn’t expect that he would actually snatch Hort away from me.”

The entire crowd burst into laughter.

With this laugh, everyone was far less guarded against Su Ye. At the very least, they believed Laker’s words even more.

Hutton’s expression kept changing, and his expression became more and more strange.

Suddenly, he opened his mouth to speak.

“I also remember those methods. I… I even wrote them in the magic book…” Hutton looked at Su Ye fearfully, raised the magic book timidly, and slowly turned it around.

At first, there was a faint laugh, and then, the laughter continued to spread. Although the laughter was not as loud as before, it lasted longer.

This was because those with sharp eyes noticed that Hutton had written, “After this Su Ye beat me up, he actually continued to teach Hort as if nothing had happened. He said something about memorizing maps. With that third dumbest brain of his, he could only teach the second dumbest. Tonight, my father has already set up a trap in the Dolphin River. I’ll let him taste my power! In all my life, I, Hutton, am not weaker than others!”

Many people did not know about this incident with Hutton. The students in class three began to spread the news, causing more and more people to know. They imagined Hutton getting beaten up on the third day of school and compared it to the words Hutton had written. They could not help but laugh out loud.

Hutton held his book and lowered his head. His face was even hotter than a piece of red-hot iron.

Hutton still remembered the situation after he told his father about Su Ye and Carlos at dinner yesterday.

At that time, although Hutton tried his best to suppress it, he still could not hide the joy between his brows. If Su Ye was really unlucky, he could continue to hold his head high in school.

After that, Harmon stared at Hutton for a full three minutes before he went to the kitchen.

Not long later, Hutton was horrified to see his father come back with a gleaming knife. He stabbed it into his pants between his legs and said something that Hutton would remember for the rest of his life.

“No matter what happens tomorrow, do your best to help Su Ye! That Carlos is definitely not Su Ye’s match. If you dare do anything harmful to Su Ye, I will castrate you! I will sell you to the nobles or the court of Persia, then I will give birth to a large group of daughters and think of a way to get them to marry Su Ye.”

Hutton lowered his head to take a look. He felt that the cold blade was still pressed against his inner thigh.

Hort could not help but laugh.

Su Ye said again, “On the third day of school, I even took the initiative to tell Hort about this “teaching as learning”method. I believe that there are still people who heard it.”

“Me! I also memorized it!”

Hort once again raised the magic book and slowly turned it around.

Laker hesitated for a moment. He really did not hear it.

However, something that surprised all the nobles happened. Rolon slowly raised his hand.

His melancholic eyes flashed with a complicated light. He slowly said, “At the beginning, I thought that Su Ye really might have stolen Carlos’ method and that he also cheated in the exam.”

At this moment, Laker’s entire body trembled as he clenched his fists tightly. The color of blood on his face was like a waterfall flowing upwards; his face was instantly red. He was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.

In his eyes, it was as if a volcano had erupted.

He did not expect that Rolon would still betray his classmate.

However, Rolon sighed and said, “I am a noble. I should not be helping Su Ye. However, I am still a student of Plato Academy, and I am still Su Ye’s deskmate. Even if I have a good relationship with Carlos, I cannot remain silent at this moment. On the third day of school, I did hear Su Ye and Hort’s conversation. Su Ye did indeed mention something about teaching as learning.”

Laker was stunned for a moment. He slowly put down his fists. A strong sense of shame flashed across his face. At the same time, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. His gaze at Rolon was filled with warmth.

“So Rolon also regards himself as our deskmate…” Laker thought to himself.

At this moment, Hort suddenly froze, because Palos, who was beside him, handed him her magic book.

Hort saw two words written on her magic book.

Crouch down!

Hort glanced at Palos, feeling wronged. He did not understand why a girl who was usually nice would treat him this way. However, he could not refute a little girl, so he could only slowly crouch down, his face wrinkled like a steamed eggplant.

When Hort squatted down, Palos held up the magic book.

There was a line of words on it.

“I can prove that everything Su Ye said is true. I heard it with my own ears and even recorded many methods.”

Different from others, Palos did not turn around. Instead, she used her fair and slender arms and small hands to slowly turn the magic book. She easily turned it around and then took it back.

The students who had previously raised the magic book were extremely touched. They did not expect Palos to be willing to testify for Su Ye.

Then, they felt a tinge of shame when they realised their IQ were outclassed. They did not have to turn their bodies after all.
