I'm A Great Villain So The Author Hates Me

Chapter 50 - Prison (2)

POV Asani Martin

I woke up with a sense of something fluffy blocking my nose and making it hard to take a proper breath. As my eyes cracked open, all I could see was a mass of black feathers on my face and a little clawed foot that kept twitching.

As I tried to move around, I found my arms tied above my head, and my feet were tied to a bed.

Lightly biting the little clawed foot that belonged to Onyx, it kicked my face in annoyance a couple of times before rolling down to my chest and settling back down.

I continued glancing around and noticed three distinct individuals positioned on the floor.

Lina, Julius, and Solomon were dressed in their white uniforms and kneeling down like three ducks in a row, hands on their knees with their heads bowed, while Professor Lee sat with her legs crossed while glaring at them.

Clearly, they were being lectured. To save myself from being caught up, I should go back to sleep.

Before I could close my eyes, Professor Lee turned to me with fully yellow eyes narrowed in anger.

"Julian said you should be waking up around now. Good to see he hasn't lost his touch. How are you feeling?"

"Ah, good morning. How are you doing today? It seems I've been released from prison? I feel pretty good." I lightly greeted her while looking at the three kneeling students and trying to understand what was going on.

Why were the three of them here?

Why were they kneeling down? And more importantly, why was it being held in my room?

I hoped they hadn't included me in any of their shenanigans.

From the moment I was arrested, I fully expected to be in a dungeon-like cell when I woke up, but here I was in a nice white room, hands and feet handcuffed to a bed while three 9 clan students knelt on the ground.

Of course, the room was padded, and I could see mana swirling around the walls, so maybe this was where they locked people up? Rich people sure wasted their money in weird ways.

Either way, I was happy the pain was gone, that I wasn't dreaming of the past, and that these handcuffs weren't savagely draining my mana.

Everything else could be handled slowly once I understood what was happening.

Struggling to move, I realized that I could sit up since the handcuffs had some length on them so I carefully sat up and placed Onyx on my lap while patting it softly.

It seemed that my calling Onyx had worked, although the whole thing seemed blurry in my mind. There had been a lot of pain and yelling and mana whirling about me and I distinctly remembered being slapped a few times.

"You still have the mind to smile? How nice for you student Martin. Care to explain what previously happened?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." I nonchalantly replied.

"Smells like a lie. Try again."

"Hmmm, I guess I'm allergic to being locked up for a long time? It doesn't sit well with my body. Makes me go crazy or something." I twisted my words in a semblance of the truth, and she arched her brow.

"Or something indeed. Truth so continue."

"That could be a bit difficult."

I simply stared at her before glancing at th45e three kneeling students who all had different expressions: Julius bored and concerned; Solomon looked quite happy to see me in trouble, and Lina kept mouthing, 'Return my stuff, you thief' before looking at the professor's face again.
