These Familiars Are Strange

I wasn't able to react right away as I slowly looked down to see Long Tang Tang looking at me with a concerned look.

The way that she looked at me, it was as if she was trying to see if there was any part of me that was injured.

A warm feeling filled my heart when I saw this before I slowly said, "No, I'm fine. Nothing happened to me while I was in the dungeon, I just hid for a while before finding my way out."

She didn't seem convinced as she continued looking at every part of me.

It was only when she confirmed that there was nothing wrong with me that she finally stopped looking at my body. She looked up at me first before looking around to ask, "What happened here?"

I gave a simple explanation of what happened in response.

After hearing my explanation, Long Tang Tang turned to look at the instructor who was just standing there under the gaze of the strike team leader.

The instructor had been looking at her the entire time, as if there was something that he wanted to say. The only reason that he didn't say anything was because the strike team leader had stopped him from interrupting the two of us.

Once he saw that Long Tang Tang turned over to look at him, he immediately went forward to fall to his knees. As he stayed on his knees, it seemed like he wanted to grab her leg to beg.

It was just that Long Tang Tang took a step back, which made the strike team leader stop the instructor from approaching her.

Since he couldn't grab her, he put his head to the ground and said, "Tang Tang, please tell these people about how good of an instructor I've been. Please tell them about all of the times that I've helped you and everything that I've taught you."

At this point, he knew that he would be considered guilty.

So the only thing that he could do was try to get as many people vouching for him as possible.

Long Tang Tang was one of those important people that he wanted to vouch for him.

Since she was someone that had awakened a 1st Class High Grade Familiar, there was no doubt that she would be highly regarded by the Summoner Association and the various governments.

As long as he set himself up as the mentor of such a person, then there was no doubt that his punishment would be reduced out of respect for Long Tang Tang.

It was just that…

The only thing that met his pleading were cold eyes.

Long Tang Tang didn't even seem to care about the plea that he made to her.

There was a long silence that lingered in the air after the instructor made his plea, as he waited for Long Tang Tang's response.

Finally, Long Tang Tang said, "Is there nothing else that you have to say?"

The instructor slowly looked up to see Long Tang Tang coldly looking down at him.

As he looked at her, there was a confused look that appeared in his eyes. He didn't actually dare show this confused look on his face.

It was clear that he had no idea what she was talking about.

Long Tang Tang didn't seem like she was going to say anything at first, but seeing that he didn't say anything, she said, ""Are you really that dumb that you can't understand what situation you're currently in?"

The instructor was completely caught off guard when he heard this.

He never thought that Long Tang Tang would say something like this to him.

But he just couldn't remain silent since there wasn't much time left for him.

So the only thing that he could do was shake his head and say, "I really don't know."

Long Tang Tang turned to me and said, "Isn't he the one that you're supposed to apologize to?"

The instructor's expression turned a bit ugly for a second when he heard this.

The look that flashed on his face seemed like he really didn't want to do this.

This instructor seemed like someone who took pride in having a status higher than others by being an instructor. He was someone who enjoyed the feeling of power, regardless of how little power he actually had.

So when he was told to apologize to someone who he saw as beneath him, there was a strong sense of unwillingness that filled him.

In the end, the instructor revealed a calm look and said to me, "I apologize for trying to harm you. You should know that I only did it because I was told to. You should know what kind of person Wang Teng is and how he gets what he wants."

The way that he said this was anything but an apology.

It was as if he was just stating facts rather than being regretful of what happened.

I narrowed my eyes to look at the instructor before giving a simple nod.

The instructor had a trace of surprise in his eyes before suddenly revealing a smile and saying, "You get what I…"

I didn't even bother listening to the rest of what he said as I suddenly turned around and started moving away with Long Tang Tang.

She looked at me with a confused look, but I simply said, "We don't need to worry about this person, he will get what he deserves."

She was surprised to hear this, but then she gave a simple nod in response.

On the other hand, the instructor had a very ugly look on his face when he heard this and it looked like he wanted to curse at me, but he held himself back.

He knew that if he wanted to get out of this alive…he had to remain calm.

It was just too bad that neither of us were interested in him at all.

"What happened to my son!?"

This voice suddenly rang out that sent a chill down the instructor's spine.
