Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240: Supernatural Response Units

Everyone was waiting for the first class of Introduction to Supernatural Ethics & Law. As it was one of the compulsory courses, all the cadets of the primary term were present in the lecture theatre... the same hall where they had attended Professor Sylpha’s class earlier.

The door creaked open, revealing a man framed in the doorway, his robe a deep scarlet that seemed to swallow the very light around him. A heavy silence swept over the green-robed cadets. They had expected a professor in indigo, not scarlet. And everyone knew what scarlet meant: the figure before them was a Judge. At once, the chatter in the theatre died, leaving only the weight of his presence.

His face was a mask of severe, impartial authority, etched with the lines of countless weighty decisions. The scarlet robe, tailored with unforgiving precision, seemed less like clothing and more like a verdict given physical form. It was the colour of finality, of consequences too grave for their everyday lessons.

Some cadets recognised the face of Supreme Judge Solon, others did not. But all looked at him in awe.

He moved to the centre table with a slow, deliberate pace. The only sound was the whisper of heavy fabric on stone... a sound that demanded silence. Two hundred pairs of young eyes followed him, wide with a mixture of fear and reverence. No one fidgeted. No one whispered. They understood instinctively that the man within the robe was less important than the office he represented. This was the law itself, walking among them.

He stopped behind the table and placed his hands upon it, his flinty gaze sweeping over the frozen classroom. Then Solon spoke, his heavy voice carrying to every corner of the hall.

"Hello, class. I am Supreme Judge Solon, a member of the Merfolk race. But I do not belong to any clan. My loyalty lies with Lord Yggdrasil and with Midgard. Some of you may know me by my human identity, Solon of Athens. But here, I carry none of those names. I have come to teach you Supernatural Ethics & Law."

He continued, "There is no textbook for this class. The only book you may take as your guide is the Supernatural Act. I believe you have already read it, as it is the foundation of our current peace in Midgard. In case you have not, you will find a copy on your laptop in the dormitory."

He paused, then continued, "I will not teach you Supernatural Ethics & Law as the Supreme Judge of the Council, but as a professor of this academy. There will be no fixed teacher for this course. I and my fellow Judges will conduct this class collectively."

He looked around the hall; the cadets were listening in silence. "Introduction to Supernatural Ethics & Law is the foundation of our legal system, and the basis for keeping Midgard at peace... and in turn, united under one banner against any outside threat. Some of you may wonder why we insist that you study the Supernatural Act, since you already know the rules. The answer is simple. We want you... the cadets of this academy... to understand those laws deeply, to uphold justice not only within these walls, but also when you walk freely through Midgard."
