The classroom was silent, save for the faint creaking of desks as the slumped students bowed their heads submitting against the mana pressure.
Certain students still tried to fight but after their heads once touched the desks they were no longer able to raise it.
Ashok's eyes scanned the room briefly before settling on Teacher Mia, who stood at the head of the classroom, her piercing blue gaze fixed directly on him.
'I'm sure she's pretty surprised on the inside that a student is still lasting this long under her pressure,' Ashok thought, his confidence rising as he noted her unrelenting focus.
A small, almost smirk began to tug at the corners of his lips, growing wider as his thoughts amused him further.
Mia's sharp eyes didn't miss the shift in his expression.
Her focus narrowed, and her irritation rose.
With a subtle gesture, Mia intensified the mana pressure only around Adlet.
The weight in the air thickened further, the force now at the level of an A Ranker.
