The Goddess Made A Mistake Again-Chapter 216 - You Sure You Got Me?

I stood on the dazzling bright arena while holding up Taylor in my hand like a toy.

This felt good.

Right before so many eyes, showing my strength to them and making them internally revere me slightly… that feeling felt good, it made me feel like a god.

No matter how much you beat up people in the streets with others watching you. There, people only fear you because of your cruelty and think of you as a criminal.

But here at the arena, it felt like I was the chosen warrior sent up from hell to have fun. Even with how bad I hurt Taylor, people won't hate me… well they already do but not in the criminal sense though.

Wait a second… some already think of me that way as well.

As soon as reality set in my mind, I also hear a gurgling sound and see Taylor, writhing in my hand.

'Is the formula still working?'

Taylor gurgles a bit before only gasping. As if trying to breath in.

"Haagh…"

"Haagh…"

'So it's over then.' I close my eyes in slight disappointment, 'It would have been better if the effects still remained after such a beating.'

'Hm?'

I feel a tingle in my back and right after, Bethany came down and pointed her scythe around my neck, "Student Henry Van Tax of Class F! Put down Taylor Harris from your hand, right this instant!"

"What's with the scythe, lady?"

"La- Lady!" Bethany flustered at that, "I- I'm not a lady- Just put down Taylor NOW!"

"You know; you could have just said that to me nicely." I said and slowly turned back as Bethany's body suddenly shook.

"Maybe I should kill you!"

Bethany saw the dark red eyes dawn upon her as she suddenly lost control of all her body. She felt as if Henry was suffocating her whole body. Even as her scythe remained closed to his neck, she knew that it wouldn't do anything and instead she's the one that would die.

As the thought of death passed through her mind, she suddenly realized… She was completely helpless before this monster.

"Just Kidding!" I smile and let my grip go as Taylor's body fell on the ground. Bethany felt relieve wash over her as she got control of her body. She stayed there for a moment before remembering about Taylor and going to him.

Bethany could only sigh when she saw that Taylor was still alive.

'I already got what I wanted anyway.'

I look towards the crowd as a few suspicious looks smiled at Taylor's display.

"Henry"

I look before to see Ulvicor standing there with a hard expression.

"Come to the Student Council, I need to discuss what happened to Taylor with you."

…

Like that, here I was. Back in the student council room, sitting right opposite to Ulvicor again. The only difference was that Elivia wasn't here.

Behind me, the two dogs, Bethany and Victor acting as guards. But I could see Bethany's shallow expression… she lost her edge after what I did at the arena.

'That was fun.'

"So, Henry tell me… what actually happened at the arena?" Ulvicor asked, his previous happy act replaced with an interrogative one.

"Which part are you talking about?" I ask with an innocent smile, acting completely oblivious.

"Don't try to dissuade us! You know what the Vice-Prez is talking about!" Victor screamed from behind as Bethany held him back.

"Control yourself, Victor."

I subtly ignore his words and look at Ulvicor, judging his look.

The guy was playing the part of an investigator. And of course, I would be the prime suspect at the moment… I did tell him to stop the fight, which was probably seen by these two dogs behind me. Which is why this guy's trying to grill out some kind of answer.

"Okay, I'll tell ya."

At my serious voice, all of them put their attention on me. Ulvicor more, as he didn't actually want me to tell anything.

"I understand you want to talk about the sudden change in Taylor's behavior after I punched him through the wall, right?"

Ulvicor nods, "Yes, the student council wants to know what kind of hand you have in it."

"Probably this one." I point to my right hand, "I did punch him with this one."

"You!" Victor was about to start but was immediately stopped by Bethany.

"But if you're asking if I have any connection with his sudden berserk state, then no. I don't."

Ulvicor silently gazed at Henry as the gaze was returned. Both of them looked at each other like that, trying to gauge the other out.

At the end, Ulvicor sighed as he got nothing from Henry.

'Man… it feels like I am gazing into a wall here. I'm almost certain this guy is the reason for Taylor's outbreak… but's he's control over emotions is too hard to guess anything!'

Ulvicor gave a tired smile, "Alright I understand."

Both Bethany and Victor were shocked at him as the latter spoke, "Vice-Prez!"

But Victor immediately got shut off as Ulvicor signaled him not to talk.

"Well we can't talk to Taylor yet as he's still unconscious after that… fight," Ulvicor wanted to say one sided destruction, but refrained himself, "Still, I would like to question you a bit more as you're the only person who had the experience with him."

"Okay, ask away." I say and answer (lie) all of his questions and left in comfort as the dogs could only grit their teeth's in anger.

When the door to the council closed, Bethany and Victor immediately barreled Ulvicor.

"Vice-Prez, why did you let him go? He's the culprit!" Victor said.

"You could have questioned him harder, make him buckle under us and answer!" Bethany said as she had anger at what happening in the arena.

"I get what you two are saying but… do you guys have any evidence?"

Bethany became quiet, while Victor didn't care, "What the fuck do you mean by evidence! We never needed evidence to take care of someone before, why do we need one now?"

Bethany curled at the answer Victor gave and tried to ignore it.

Yes, the student council has done bad things too. They all once have overused their power to do something or bypass the procedures. Not all the times did the council work with evidence, most of the time they went with their gut and just delivered their verdict.

"Yes, we indeed do that, but that method cannot be used on Henry Van Tax."

"Why!"

"Because he's a Viscount, that's why!" Ulvicor raged his voice, surprising both of them, "If we tried to judge someone of his status, then we would also need her majesty's court to support us."

"Then we'll also do that."

"And then what? What will we do when they ask for evidence?" Victor realized it, "Do you think they will listen because our parents are in good positions… no, that will not work if you're trying to put such a big crime on Henry Van Tax."

Ulvicor quieted down as he saw the pale faces of his friends, "I'm sorry you guys… but we can't lay a hand on him without evidence."

…

After getting out of the council room, the first person I thought I would see would be Wilson or even Arthur.

But no, it was Elisabeth.
