The other students' views on Adam only worsened after the Comme Hall incident. Their points plunged into the negative. Even the students who had remained seated when the brawl broke out and those who were absent suffered from the same unfair curfew. Worse still, Magna and Isolde lectured them for hours after class every day for a week.
And it was all because of Adam.
Even those who knew the truth still blamed him—his taunts haunted them more than Haldris' wrath. Each time they saw Desmond's smirk, they heard Adam's phantom voice stating that the scourge, the leech, the one who squandered their points each year, now owned more than they did.
Unlike Desmond, Adam found better use for his time than entertaining their jealousy. Finding out how to defeat the golem, training Quintella and Bao, and attending classes—these meaningful tasks filled his days.
