The corner of Russell's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
He was now even more certain that it was best to have as little contact with Rommel as possible.
Although their teacher could sometimes be a little unreliable, she was fundamentally fair in her dealings with people and matters. She could also sense others' pain and sorrow. Even if she could not truly empathize, she would still offer a little sympathy and help.
Russell believed that in their world, not even true Gods could manage that.
Even when it came to someone as detestable as Aislin, when their teacher discovered her miserable fate, she could not help reaching out and pulling her along.
Though she did nothing more afterward, and after some time, she actually became even less willing to deal with Aislin than when she had first arrived at Sia Tower.
But Russell was certain that Aislin, who had never understood how to behave like a person, must have done something else their teacher could not accept.
Russell could not think of anything more uncomfortable than having a Hell princess possess someone and fight for control of their soul, but he would not doubt his teacher's judgment.
In all the time he had followed his teacher, the only person who had mocked others from beginning to end and built every relationship entirely upon transactions was Rommel.
When their teacher looked at Rommel's miserable predicament, even while laughing wildly, there was not a trace of sympathy or hesitation.
Russell knew this could only prove that, in his teacher's eyes, the one truly at a disadvantage between Glasya and Rommel was not Rommel.
As for how much of the embarrassment he displayed was genuine, even their teacher probably could not tell.
But their teacher could be certain that the genuine portion was absolutely smaller.
