The senior student who spoke first sighed. "The second incident this year was the real tragedy. That senior student directly mutated into an Eerie, and there was no way to change him back, no chance of saving him at all. The Stillwater Knight arrived and killed him on the spot. I heard that two students from the same year died that time too."
Lu Yuan's hand holding the spoon paused.
He had actually been killed outright? Sigh, it seemed that senior student from this morning was pretty lucky. I knocked him out, and his Pathway actually managed to stabilize temporarily.

Dean did not reply immediately. He finished the bread in his hand, then spoke after a while. "After all, not everyone who comes to the Knight Academy is a genius."
