Enacting Plan [2]

The next day after Zero was called to the conference, Zero was absent from the school.

"That shameless person finally decides to hide after committing those atrocities. I would have long dropped out of school if I were him."

"Even if he has strength, he is not a noble character like us. He was bound to do something like this."

"I knew that professors would not let barbarians like him be left unpunished. I also heard that he will be withdrawn from the tournament."

"He should be! I don't know what type of underhanded tactic he used to qualify as the participant. He should have long been removed."...

The Zero haters were happily talking about how Zero has not shown up. They decided to guess that it was due to him being punished by the professors for committing the crimes.

The rumor has also spread that Zero will be removed as a participant for the Tournament of Academies.

Seeing that Zero was not present, they decided to badmouth him as much as possible.
