“Just because she's our senior sister, does that mean she's allowed to be unpatriotic?”
“I'm not okay with posting positive comments either! Why should we clean up her mess when she's the one who screwed up and ran off?”
“Look, I admire Keira, but what she did was wrong! I'm not posting anything!”
“Me neither! Let's stop. This whole thing is humiliating!”
“I trained in martial arts to serve my country, not to defend someone who doesn't love it!”
“…”
The disciples who had been dutifully following Trevor Freeman's orders now hesitated, all eyes turning toward him. Trevor saw those who had spoken up were the disciples knew to be particularly stubborn, so he frowned. “Your senior sister has her reasons for what she did. Who are you to judge?”
“I'm judging her as a patriotic man!” one of the disciples shot back, defiantly. “Are we supposed to go easy on her just because she's your disciple?”
“I won't do it!”
“And I'm certainly not going to humiliate myself by defending her!”
“Neither will I!”
“Me neither!”
“…”
More and more of the Freeman Sect disciples put down their phones, their expressions turning from confusion to firm resolve.
Trevor felt a surge of anger in his chest. “I didn't train you all to just follow the crowd like sheep! Don't you trust your own senior sister?”
One of them spoke up, “It's not that I don't trust her, it's just… she didn't grow up with us. She didn't train with us from the start. How are we supposed to know what kind of person she really is?”
“Yeah, Sect Leader, what if you're wrong about her? What if she's actually a spy for another country? She defended Mr. Sims, and now I can't even show my face around the Special Division!”
“…”
As the group continued to voice their grievances, Trevor's frustration grew. “You ungrateful brats! You dare defy me? I said a thousand comments, and if you don't hit that number, you'll be in horse stance until you do!”
But the Freeman Sect disciples were known for their obstinacy. One of them immediately shouted back, “Even if I drop dead from this horse stance, I won't defend a traitor!”
“Me neither!”
“Same here!”
