Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1052 Bureau of Hero Welfare and Safety Department

1052 Bureau of Hero Welfare and Safety Department

Rize almost fell from the stage but she managed to balance herself and safely got down the stage. But all the eyes were now on the five people at the stage.

Out of all the students, Rudy was the most furious. How could they treat his beloved teacher like that? Whoever they were and whatever status they held, Rudy was going to send them back to where they belonged.

They acted as if they were officials, but they weren't wearing a badge. However, upon scanning them with his supervision, Rudy learned about their identities.

The one who pushed Rize was Manuel Bailey. And out of the four people behind him, two were females and two were males.

'Sylvie Arias, Kyle Baxter, Aiden Miles, and Lara Chen.'

"We are from the Bureau of the Hero Welfare and Safety department. We have been ordered to shut all the schools that don't have hero activities as a subject. This school, along with all the other schools of the nearby towns, has now been terminated and scheduled to be demolished!" Manuel announced.

"Wait a minute, there is no such requirement for a school and when the bill was passed, it was made clear that no school would be forced to implement it. Moreover, the apocalypse has ended, so there is no need for such Hero programs and activities in school," Rize responded in a calm, yet authoritative tone.

"Well, things have changed now."

"I haven't heard about this. Stop with these baseless orders and get out of my class. I only have 10 minutes left."

Manuel moved his hand towards Rize and crushed his fist. All the students present in the class were confused as to what was happening, but the only one to react was Rize, who fell to her knees.

It seemed as though she was struggling to breathe, and the leader's pose hadn't changed. That was enough for Rudy to understand that the leader was using his powers on Rize and choking her.

'You are dead!' Rudy had made up his mind to kill the leader, no matter the consequences that came after it.

Before Rudy could move into action, a sudden burst of energy erupted from within the class. It was coming from Eric and he was simply releasing his aura—which he had always been suppressing in public— to make his presence known.

"Yes. How could I have known that this woman was an ordinary civilian?"

Everyone knew that Manuel was lying, but there was nothing anyone could do because his excuse was reasonable and could be used in a case.

"You pushed her off the stage in the beginning. Why did you do that?" Rudy asked with a furious look on his face.

Manuel raised his brow at Rudy and sighed, "I don't remember doing that."

"You did that. Everyone in the class saw it," Rudy retorted.

"Perhaps my shoulder accidentally hit her. That wasn't an attack or against the code of conduct, was it?" Manuel shrugged his shoulders and continued, "It happens. People accidentally bump into each other in a crowded space."

Rudy looked into Manuel's eyes with absolute anger. He wanted to punch Manuel so hard and rip his head off his body. Of course, he could easily do that, but he was restrained by none other than himself.

He couldn't act like a maniac in front of the entire class, especially in front of Eric, Rize, Janet, and Alice.

Rudy forcefully calmed himself down and said, "You are right. People accidentally bump into each other in crowded spaces."

"Heh!" Manuel scoffed arrogantly. 'Poor guy realized how powerful I am.'

"But!" Rudy added. "They apologize when that happens. I haven't seen you apologize to her yet."

"Wha...t?" Manuel was baffled to hear that.

'What the hell is this kid blabbering about? Why would 'I' apologize to a random weak civilian? That's not happening! Not in a million years!'
