Chapter 76 Striking The Iron While It’s Still Hot

"Uhmm, we… found hi..",

"He was being followed by another classmate of ours along with some students from the normal classes along with some seniors from the second year", Ray spoke out as he interrupted Tim who was stuttering ever since he was put on the spot.

Well, one couldn't blame Tim either. He hadn't always been the brightest while the head nurse's stare was fierce enough to startle many adults not to mention a 16-year-old kid who was more worried about his friend than anything.

Although Sirius wasn't a very close friend of anyone but the fact that they fought alongside each other during the tests also the fact that they trusted each other with their lives at that time led them to have a good sense of brotherhood.

It was also the reason why the Academy made all those who fought in the tests together during the test be dorm mates.

On the other hand, the head nurse raised an eyebrow at Ray's words. Her countenance changed a little but she controlled her expressions.

"Normal class you said, I feel that you speak of the normal class and that classmate of yours as if they were in different classes, same for you. May I ask why?", the head nurse asked.

"We are in the elite class, Mam", Ray said.

"Hmm, the elite class. May I see your badges for confirmation? Don't get me wrong, but it is necessary. The thing is, a few students from the regular class were found lying about them being in the elite class and using the special facilities reserved for those in the elite class" the nurse spoke in a friendly manner.

But Ray knew better. He knew that behind her words was a stern warning for them. That, if they were found lying about being in the elite class, their end won't be good.

"Yes mam, no issue. Here you go", Ray said as he took his badge out of the system storage and handed it to the head nurse.

The head nurse took the badge from Ray's hands and tapped on it in a strange pattern. Suddenly, the badge lit up and showed Ray's picture along with his roll number and class status.

The head nurse tapped on the holographic image and chose class status,

A row of words appeared stating,

[Class status: Elite Class Student. Other information is locked, authorization not enough.

Clearance required: Dean of the Academy, equivalent to the Supreme General],

This time, reading the words. The head nurse's countenance changed again. Though, this time the head nurse wasn't much reserved and didn't manage to control her expressions.

It seemed as if her face had gotten frozen in time. Though that wasn't the issue, the issue was that she looked very funny.

The head nurse was very chubby or rather overweight, to begin with not to mention her cheeks covered in fat and her double chin.

Therefore, when she looked at the authorization required to view more information about Ray, her face had scrunched up into a rather ugly one.

To Ray and the others, it wasn't much ugly as it was funny.

"Click... Flash... Click",

A camera click was heard right after a flash of light followed along with the sound of the camera shutter closing and opening to capture a photo.

The sound managed to snap the head nurse out of her reverie, but it was too late because, by the time she composed herself, she saw Tim and Aliya holding out their phones barely holding their laughter in.

"Uhum!, Okay. I have gotten the confirmation and I guess I could take your word for the others as well", the nurse said as she cleared her throat.

Though the other didn't hear her well enough as they were still processing her earlier image, Ray did hear her and knew that she saw something on his badge and knew it was related to the dean.

Therefore, Ray knew that if he said something right now, she would trust him more than ever. Thus, that's what Ray did. He struck the iron while it was hot.

"Mam, I just wanted to say one more thing. If you may, of course", Ray spoke with impeccable respect and discipline to not ruin his image in front of the nurse.

"Oh, you have something to say? Yes speak", the head nurse spoke as she also moved her head a bit forward, implying that she was listening to what Ray had to say.

On the other hand, Ray didn't mince his words and spoke right away,

"Mam, I feel that I may know of a major character from amongst those who caused all the mayhem today",

"Hmm, could you explain it a bit more clearly? I can not let you go on accusing other students and also who is it that you may be talking of", the head nurse spoke.

Her first few words made it seem that she wasn't being biased towards Ray or anything of that sort but her last few words said otherwise as those words implied what she thought.

"Yes mam, I will explain everything", Ray said as he understood the underlying meaning behind the head nurse's words.

One had to say that the head nurse excelled in implying things while speaking. She knew that Ray didn't want his status to be known nor did the higher-ups. Therefore, she implied to Ray that she was actively listening to his suggestions but also said out loud that she wasn't biased towards anyone.

This way, no one would suspect Ray for anything and would take his suggestion as a smart observation. After all, there were always people ready to stir up trouble.

"So it is like this, John of our elite class…." Ray spoke as he explained the whole situation to the head nurse. Right from the beginning, from John and his lackeys trying to bully Sirius by using his senior sister to them stealing some of his things.

Then to calling Sirius to the forest and further provoking him. Ray also explained about John bringing 20 students to beat Sirius and that within those 20 students 5 were second-year students.

Though Ray didn't say a word about him and the others knocking down 3 second-year students and running away afterward. He just skipped this part and told her that Sirius had previously informed them of everything that happened.

And also that they were hidden during everything and rescued Sirius when the time was right. Though they were a bit late leading to Sirius's condition.

On the other hand, the head nurse also believed in Ray's story as she knew that running away from 20 students and also when there were 5 seniors in between. It wasn't easy, therefore mistakes were to be made and Sirius's condition was the first and foremost example of it.

As for the other things, the head nurse didn't need a reason not to believe them as she knew of John and his behavior.

The thing was, John was famous for lusting over girls and using his influence and status as one of the children of the higher-ups to get his way.

Though she didn't think that he would be part of all of this and that too a major part of it as well.

"Okay, let me investigate it a bit. As for the time being, I might have a job for you kids, and don't worry, the Academy would compensate you for it", The head nurse spoke with a smirk on her face.

On the other hand, Ray just smiled and said,

"No worries, we are up for it".
