Ashok sat in the corner near the wall with his arms crossed, maintaining a perfect poker face while being stared at with serious scrutiny by three people, each reacting differently to his answer.
Their gazes weighed on him, heavy and unyielding, yet he did not shift or fidget even once.
'Umm… did I go way too far?' Ashok thought as the suffocating silence spread through the class.
Even while that doubt surfaced in his mind, his expression remained stiff and unreadable.
His eyes stayed fixed on Frederick, who was now glaring at him openly, the muscles on the old man's face twitching from time to time.
The glare was so intense that Ashok briefly felt Frederick might forget about magic altogether and simply leap forward to chew his head off in rage.
Jokes aside… definitely too far.
Still, Ashok did not panic.
