Tides: Years of Dawn

Geraint didn't intend to confess to the president of the student union, but he didn't intend to quibble either. He had only one answer to all the questions - "I don't know, I didn't pay attention to them."

"So you don't know why you arrived at the cafeteria so late, you don't know why you happened to pass by them, and you don't know why you are so flustered, and you don't know that the symptoms on them are the same as being poisoned by sea snake nerve poison?"

Gao Wen brought Geraint to the counseling room, and it was ten o'clock in the evening.

The scales on Gawain's wrists still haven't faded, which proves that he has been suppressing his anger.He could almost conclude that it was the sea snake in front of him that poisoned the sea crocodile brothers, but he had no evidence.He knew that if the sea snake venom was measured properly, the school hospital would not be able to detect the toxin at all.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Geraint said again.His appearance of pretending to be calm and innocence does not look like a reckless and childish 14-year-old boy at all, but thinking about it, living under the fence will make this child a little more mature than his peers.

Although Gawain is two years older than Geraint, he is sometimes more forthright than Geraint.He couldn't hold back, so even though there was no evidence, he still relied on his own speculation to assert—"You want to vent your anger on Crewe."

"Why should I vent my anger on him?" Geraint laughed, spreading his hands to show his innocence.

"Because he was teased by them many times." Gao Wen said.

As the president of the student union, he certainly saw how the sea crocodile was rampant.But the title of student council president was given to him by the school, and the status of the little prince of the sea crocodiles was given to them by the entire Split Rock Islands.

Gao Wen also didn't like sea crocodiles. He didn't like that they were always disturbing the order, always bullying his peers, never taking the mentors seriously, and always taking pleasure in provoking top talents like Gao Wen who were both good in character and learning.

But no way.

Gao Wen once reported to the higher authorities because the sea crocodile brothers almost disabled a small seahorse, but the school decided that it was the result of Gao Wen's rumors and slander.

From that time on, Gao Wen began to understand that some mistakes cannot be corrected.

At least he can't correct it yet.

"I didn't see him being teased." Geraint said against his will, he turned his eyes away and looked at the desk Gawain was leaning against.

"I saw it, I saw him tied up and thrown on the rocky beach in the backyard." Gao Wen continued.

In fact, Gao Wen was also very contradictory. Poisoning a classmate was a serious crime, and such a crime would not be punished by extrajudicial mercy just because the criminal was young.Once he found evidence that Geraint had poisoned him and reported it in time, he would have done a great job, and he was sure that the previous conflict between him and the sea crocodile brothers would be wiped out.

He will become good brothers with Sea Alligator, and he will also get a very good job after graduation next year.

"...I don't know." Geraint gritted his teeth.

"I also saw two brothers blocking him in a corner, pulling his tentacles and pulling his hair." Gawain continued.

Geraint was not with Crewe that day, and it was said that he was about to shed his skin, so he asked for a few days off.Gawain came out of his classroom and saw two jagged crocodile tails in the corner from afar.Of course, from the middle of the crocodile's tail, there are also octopus tentacles sticking out.

Gao Wen's first reaction was to walk over to stop all of this, but he stopped again when he approached the three of them.He didn't want to intensify the conflict between the crocodile and him again, and he didn't want this conflict to affect his final grade or student evaluation.

So he just stood quietly behind, listening to Crewe begging for mercy in a crying voice, watching the tentacles weakly and stubbornly pressing against the chests of the two crocodiles.

But fortunately, the sea crocodile brothers felt that someone was watching them from behind.

Although they were very unwilling, it was inconvenient for the two of them to continue working in front of the chairman of the student union.So he just shook off Crewe's tentacles vigorously, deliberately pushed the little Crewe's head, gave Gawain a vicious look, and passed him by.

Crewe's eyes were red, and his tentacles curled up helplessly.Gao Wen didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to tell him to go back to the dormitory quickly.

"...I... didn't see it." Geraint frowned.

"Well, I know." Gawain didn't refute, nodded silently, and then said, "Then you probably didn't see the scene where they dragged Crewe with the sword whales on the beach."

Crewe's four tentacles were bitten by two crocodiles and two sword whales, and they dragged Crewe from the beach to the sea.

This time Crewe couldn't help it, he cried, and he was dragged into the sea while crying.His tentacles and webs were pulled long, rubbing against the gravel on the beach.He's like a stuffed toy being tossed around, passed between crocodiles and sword whales.

Gao Wen really wanted to look away, he was just taking his newborn little brother to the beach to soak in the water.He could hold his little brother, still a little sea monster, in his arms, and swim to another shoal.Swim to a place where you won't hear Crewe's cries for mercy or see any bullying.

But unfortunately, Gao Wen still failed to do it.

He hesitated again and again, and finally put his younger brother on his shoulders, and a fierce drill turned into the original shape of a sea monster.

Gawain, who turned back into a sea monster, was bigger than a crocodile or a sword whale. At the same time, he could use his own mana to transform into a glittering golden trident.

He didn't dare to stab the crocodile brothers, so he stabbed the two equally shameless sword whales.

The two sword whales jumped in fright, let go of Crewe's tentacles and ran to the shore.

The two crocodiles followed closely behind, leaving Krewe alone and following the sword whale, changing back into human form as they ran towards the shore.

It didn't take long before he ran away without a trace.

And Crewe was still crying, crying on the beach like a broken fishing net.

Gawain also ignored it, and swam back to the depths of the ocean with his younger brother on his shoulders, until he reached another shoal before turning back into a human form.

"...I haven't heard him say that." Geraint denied it for the third time.

But Gawain could see Geraint's nose twitching, his eyes turned into vertical pupils, his fists were silently clenched, and scales appeared on his neck.

Gao Wen knew that Geraint and Crewe had a good relationship, so even Gao Wen, a passer-by, couldn't turn a blind eye to the scene of the Sea Crocodile Brothers bullying Crewe, so one can imagine how Geraint must feel.

Geraint wanted to vent his anger, naturally.

But having said that, if it wasn't the two little princes who bullied Crewe, then Gawain must be on Geraint's side.He also very much hopes that the evildoers will be punished, and the school can't punish them, so he supports the oppressed peers to resist.

But unfortunately, it is always the untouchable sea crocodile who commits atrocities.

But since Geraint is so stubborn, Gawain also understands that he can neither make Geraint realize his mistake nor pry his mouth open, so the only option is—"Well, call Crewe to come over."

Geraint was startled, and raised his head—"What do you want him for?"

"Ask casually," Gawain said softly, "just like asking you casually."

Gao Wen couldn't afford to offend the sea crocodile, no matter if this matter was placed on him or other contemporaries, everyone would naturally choose to offend Crewe and Geraint.After all, everyone is also suffering from these injustices, which has become the default law.

Gawain also thought so at the beginning, so when he couldn't find evidence from Geraint, he had to find another way from Crewe.
