I Give Up on the BL Novel's Male Leads - Chapter 120
Moreover, while Willai might appear delinquent, he had a handsome face that drew people’s attention. Thus, the trust that his looks instilled could not be ignored.
“Waaah… I really like Illenas! I’ve never seen anyone as beautiful as her! But every time I visit her mansion, she won’t see me… She goes to the dance party with another guy as her partner… And when I send her letters, she just burns them without even reading!”
However, the chairman struggled to make sense of what Willai was saying.
This was a discussion about the harassment of Illein, so what on earth was he talking about?
It was utterly ridiculous. The chairman shook her head in disbelief.
What Willai was saying had nothing to do with the essence of the case.
“And that’s why it’s so frustrating! Illein keeps me from seeing Illenas, so of course I hate him!”
The Chairman could no longer tolerate Willai’s nonsense and decided to speak up.
She was unable to withstand the chaos that was unfolding. Though she tried to hide it, her internal frustration was boiling over.
Having an unfortunate incident occur within the academy had already bruised the Chairman’s pride.
And to hear such absurd excuses from one of the culprits!
The Chairman’s expression turned cold as she noted Willai’s lack of remorse and his tendency to shift blame.
“Student Willai!”
Naturally, the pitch of the Chairman’s voice rose.
“What on earth are you rambling about right now? So your reason for continually harassing Illein is… am I hearing this correctly?”
Pointing out the core issue made the atmosphere, which had somewhat relaxed due to Willai’s antics, grow tense again.
And it was an atmosphere that anyone could understand, even if they lacked awareness.
“Willai, this is not the place for your personal stories. Let me ask again: Why did you harass Student Illein?”
“…….”
Willai hesitated for a moment, unable to respond. When he finally opened his mouth to explain, he felt awkward and stumbled over his words.
“W-Well… it’s because Illein is so capable. He studies well and….”
Willai’s voice dwindled to the point where it was barely audible at the end. In truth, he hadn’t always disliked Illein.
After all, their family was weak and Illein was someone he felt he didn’t need to worry about. That was all Willai thought of Illein at first.
However, his perception shifted when Illein began to stand out.
Since yesterday, as he watched Illein consistently ranking first in the entire school with overwhelming grades, he felt a twinge of annoyance.
Annoyed? That was about the extent of it. But once his parents became aware of Illein’s existence, his feelings of animosity grew.
The barrage of insults and harsh words he received from his parents while comparing him to Illein became the start for his hostility.
Along with that, he harbored jealousy over the reality that he couldn’t surpass Illein. Hence, he was reluctant to speak any further.
He didn’t want to expose this inferiority of his to everyone. Willai felt incredibly ashamed and wanted to hide.
“……”
At that moment, everyone’s mouths fell open in shock. They couldn’t hide their surprise at the fact that he had bullied Illein for such trivial reasons.
Some clicked their tongues, deeming it a disgraceful act for someone of noble blood. Others shook their heads in disgust.
Willai’s reasons were pitiful and cowardly.
The Chairman was at a loss for words, utterly flabbergasted, trying to choose her next words carefully.
But then, with his face flushed, Willai opened his mouth, tears streaming down his face.
“Wah… I can’t be expelled! If that happens, I’ll never see Illenas again! I need to graduate from the academy properly so that I can at least save face when I propose later!”
At that moment, the Chairman nearly let out a laugh without realizing it. Watching Willai made her blood pressure rise.
In a way, he was a formidable opponent. It felt like he was dealing with an overwhelmingly difficult adversary right from the start.
The problem was that Willai’s ridiculous behavior was completely sincere. The chairman held a brooch that could detect lies.
If the other party spoke untruths, the black gemstone embedded in the brooch would turn red… but the brooch showed no sign of changing color.
In fact, it was a deeper shade of black. The chairman felt a throbbing headache and let out a quiet sigh.
“Ah, Willai, while your offense is relatively minor, it’s still serious. And to torment the sister of Student Illein…”
Since Illenas wasn’t an academy student, the chairman hesitated to intervene directly.
However, as a fellow woman, she felt it necessary to say something. Willai’s actions were incredibly disrespectful to the girl he targeted.
“If the other party doesn’t want it, you shouldn’t do it.”
“I know! But I’ve never loved anyone like this before, so I’m at a loss. Everyone says I’m handsome and cute, but it seems that doesn’t apply to Illenas… But love isn’t a crime, is it?”
