"Then go ahead and expel me, because I’m not going to apologize."
Over the years, among the many teachers and professors at the First University of Esteria, only Charles could teach the Meridia language, so the school administration always valued him highly.
He was always prioritized for any awards and evaluations.
Conflicts with students were something Charles had been involved in multiple times.
On several occasions, the administration also demanded he apologize, threatening expulsion, but in the end, they would let it slide.
This was why Charles became more and more arrogant.
He even believed this time would be the same.
Even if he didn’t apologize, he wouldn’t be dismissed in the end.
Because he was still the person most skilled in teaching the Meridia language at the school, the administration couldn’t bear to let him go.
The head of the department, seeing Charles had made up his mind, didn’t waste any more words and promptly left Charles’ office.
Once the head left, Charles took a sip of hot tea, with an extremely disdainful tone: "Do you think I’m scared? If you could find someone to replace me, you would’ve done it already; wouldn’t have waited until now, would you?"
But, what Charles didn’t expect was that just twenty minutes after the head left his office, a new official pinned post appeared on the campus forum.
"Charles does not respect students, causing teacher-student conflicts to intensify. The administration’s repeated mediation was ineffective, leading to the decision to expel Charles."
The moment this post appeared, almost all students applauded. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel-fire.ɴet
[Great, Charles, who has no teacher ethics, should have been expelled long ago.]
[Cheers to the administration for handling this wisely!]
[Exactly, that’s how it should be. It’s not like he’s the only one in the world who can teach the Meridia language!]
[If the school needs a Meridia language teacher, I suggest hiring Julian Quinn. Julian is nice and quiet; within a week, our entire class ranked top in the Meridia language competition.]
Charles found out about the related decision when he was just about to head to class with his textbook to teach the students.
Just when he arrived at the classroom door, he ran into Victor Hawthorne and his friends carrying a basketball, heading to the playground.
"It’s class time, where are you all planning to go?"
Due to the previous betting incident, Charles had a deep impression of Victor Hawthorne.
He even believed that the reason he was being criticized by the entire school was because of Victor Hawthorne.
If it weren’t for him publicly posting about the bet on the campus forum, there wouldn’t have been so many issues.
So Charles bore a grudge against Victor Hawthorne, looking for a chance to deal with him.
"As students, if you don’t focus on your studies, and just think about how to have fun, you’re showing no respect for your elders! Go, stand at the back of the classroom!"
He not only wanted Victor and his friends to stand through class every day but also wanted to find a chance to give him major demerits, preventing him from graduating.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Victor and his friends just laughed.
"You’re no longer a teacher at our school, and you still want to order us to stand at the back of the classroom?"
"How am I not a teacher at the school?" Charles felt something was off.
Victor straightforwardly opened the forum post regarding his expulsion and handed it to him.
"Take a good look for yourself; you’ve been expelled, yet you’re still putting on airs with us."
Charles, half-believing and half-doubting, took over the phone and was shocked when he read the post’s content clearly.
"No... How can this be possible?"
In the past, he had done these things before, so why was he expelled this time?
Unable to accept this outcome, he immediately handed the phone back to Victor and hurried to the principal’s office.
