Zachary took a deep breath, looking nervous and scared. "I-1.." lle stammered and stopped speaking, even though he wanted to say something.
"Do you not dare to admit that you did it?" Elon glanced at Zachary coldly and raised his voice slightly.
Seeing Zachary's guilty and fearful look, everyone knew it was him.
What Oneida said was true. Zachary was really vicious.
"I didn't do it on purpose." Zachary's shoulders trembled slightly, and his face turned pale. It seemed like he was about to cry out of fear. "I really..."
However, Elon did not look at Zachary again. Instead, he gazed straight at Leslie and sneered, "Leslie, are you going to harbor him? What he did was not a typical mistake." Leslie stiffened, and the expression in his eyes kept shifting like clouds. If Elon did not show up, he would certainly choose to cover for Zachary, but...
Now that Zachary was caught red-handed by Elon, Leslie was afraid that he could not help Zachary anymore.
Leslie clenched his fists subconsciously. He wondered, "What's the relationship between Elon and the girl? Why would the insufferably arrogant Elon defend her? Why?" Around the square, all the students heard Elon's words and looked at Leslie with doubtful expressions.
Who would have thought that Mr. Jones, who had a noble status in Starr Training Camp, had been harboring Zachary, that badass, just now?

If Elon had not arrived in time, Oneida would have been expelled, while Zachary would continue to get away with it in the training camp under the protection of Leslie. Zachary was working hand in glove with Leslie. The two of them were not of good morality.
Zachary could not gaze at Elon directly, as the latter's aura was too formidable.
"Mr. Jones..." Zachary was so scared that he started experiencing shortness of breath. He subconsciously looked at Leslie. At that moment, only the latter could protect him.
Leslie remained silent and did not say a word. Eventually, he sighed and said to Zachary, "Zachary, you made a mistake, so you must be punished."
"What? Punishment?" Upon hearing that, Zachary's face darkened. He did not expect that even Leslie, who had been protecting him, would punish him. He wondered if Elon was so powerful that even Leslie afraid of him.
"Of course. Let me carry out the punishment!" At that particular moment, an energetic voice sounded in everyone's ears. It was like a loud thunder, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The person who spoke was the famous and renowned Curtis.
Almost all the students there met the legendary elder for the first time.
For a moment, some people were surprised. Some were agitated, and some were thrilled.
That person was Curtis. No one would have expected such a big shot to suddenly appear in front of them.
Curtis calmly walked toward Elon and the others.
Leslie frowned. When he saw Curtis appear, he instantly had a bad feeling. He remained calm and asked the latter respectfully, "Mr. Johnson, why are you here out of the blue?"
"It was Elon who informed me to come." Curtis's eyes, though old, were filled with wisdom and awe.
"Elon?" Leslie subconsciously looked at Elon with a trace of resentment in his eyes. He thought, "Wow, Elon! Your intervention is not enough. Now, you even asked Curtis to come."
Elon noticed Leslie was staring at him, and his cold gaze met with the latter's line of sight. The former shot the latter a disdainful and
ogant look.
Oneida was not surprised to see Curtis appear. Her expression remained emotionless. She inserted one of her palms into her pocket, and her cold fingertips subconsciously touched the swan brooch inside.
"I never thought you would let me down like this." Curtis looked at Leslie with burning eyes. His tone was stern and dreary. If Elon had not

informed him, he would not have known that Leslie had played so many tricks in the training camp.
"Mr. Johnson, 1..." Leslie's face stiffened momentarily, and his expression looked unusually grave. He mumbled in a low voice as if he wanted to defend himself.
However, Curtis did not want to listen to Leslie anymore and unemotionally announced his decision, "Zachary snatched another person's dorm, brought along bodyguards without permission, and even attempted to assault his classmates. All these behaviors seriously violated the regulations of Starr Training Camp. He will be expelled from the training camp from now on and will never be part of it again in the future!"
Zachary was so scared that his legs became weak. He looked so nervous.
Who would have thought there would be an unexpected turn of events in the blink of an eye?
At first, Oneida would be expelled, but the truth finally came to light. The one who got expelled became Zachary,
"And you, Leslie." Curtis's eyes were cold and filled with intense solemnity. "You illegally brought in students like Zachary, who did not meet the training camp requirements, and you even shielded him. You're not suitable for us. Thus, you're dismissed from your post." "Mr. Johnson!" Leslie's expression finally changed. His eyes widened slightly as if he wanted to beg Curtis to be lenient. "Can you..."
Curtis waved his hand at Leslie apathetically. "I've made up my mind. You don't have to explain yourself anymore."
After saying that, the elder turned to look at Oneida standing at the side, and his expression became gentler. He suddenly raised his tone so that everyone could hear his voice. "I heard that Oneida's first assessment rank was Rank C. That's ridiculous!" Dedicated instructors were in charge of giving a rank to the students. Curtis did not know about it at first. He only became aware of it when he arrived at the training camp earlier.
Curtis continued speaking with his energetic voice, "Her capability can be said to be Rank S. I even feel that she's a Rank S Plus genius. Plus, I was the one who personally invited Oneida to attend the training, and I wrote her invitation letter myself. I've never done such a thing before."
Curtis continued, "So, instead of saying Oneida is a student who is taking part in the training, she's actually my guest. If all of you look down on her, it also means you despise me!" Every word and sentence said by Curtis was so loud that even the deaf could hear. Everyone was stunned. It turned out that Oneida had such an impressive background. She and Cutis even had that connection. She was a genius recognized by a big shot like Curtis and a guest invited by Curtis in person! No wonder... No wonder her performance was marvelous in the first
assessment.
Many students felt a little ashamed. Previously, they had mocked Oneida, satirized her, despised her as a Rank C loser, and looked down on her as a country bumpkin. Who would have thought that Oneida was so impressive and admirable?
It could be said that Curtis's words had established Oneida's prestige in the entire training camp. In the future, no one would look down on her
again.
That was the end of the incident.
Zachary was banished from the training camp that night.
Leslie also left dejectedly.
Curtis and Elon talked to Oneida for some time before letting her back into the dorm.
Oneida's luggage was also packed and sent back to the dorm. Fortunately, there were no fragile items in her luggage. So she basically lost nothing, except for the swan brooch.
Thinking of the deformed brooch, hostility flashed across Oneida's eyes. That was not the end of the incident for her.
Oneida did not hurry to sleep. Instead, she changed into an all-black attire and quietly left Starr Training Camp using her superb wall-climbing skills.
