The Demon in Human Skin

The celestial screen presented two choices.

"Choice one: faced with Zhou Yi's formidable background and power, you choose to swallow your anger and live out your life in cowardice until you die."

"Choice two: with your parents tragically killed and your life destroyed, you have nothing left to lose. Pushed beyond endurance, you become a Soul Demon."

The celestial screen paused here, and the perspective switched back to the omniscient narrator's commentary.

"To help you all more clearly understand what it feels like for an ordinary person to encounter a teacher like Zhou Yi, I've specially let you experience the first-person perspective."

"I'm sure everyone can see—if it were you, what could you do when faced with a teacher like Zhou Yi?"

"Moreover, if it were you outside the screen, you originally had a bright future. Even if you couldn't advance to Shrek Academy's inner courtyard, you could still learn a great deal."

"You could also use the title of Shrek Academy student to secure a good path forward, repaying your parents who have toiled their whole lives for you."

"But all of this was destroyed by Zhou Yi—this refined egoist who chases enrollment rates and only cares about whether she can get a senior title."

"What can you do? If you have any shred of blood and spirit left, you must choose to avenge yourself, avenge the life Zhou Yi ruined, and avenge your parents."

"You were forced onto this path of no return."

"No!"

The moment the celestial screen's voice fell, a voice full of unwillingness and indignation rang out across the venue.

"That's not true! They were all bad students who violated school rules. I didn't do it for myself—I did it for the students, for the students."

"I am a good teacher with high enrollment rates!"

Zhou Yi shouted loudly, righteous and confident, enough to shake heaven and earth!

Her furious roar echoed endlessly within the quiet room.

"Those bad students deserved to be expelled. I fulfilled my duty as a teacher. Only by being strict with them could they listen to me and become useful talents for Shrek Academy."

"Everything I did was for the good of the academy!"

At this moment, seeing his former lover become so deranged and frantic, Fan Yu's eyes showed disbelief. An indescribable sorrow slowly rose in his heart.

At this moment, it was as if he was seeing Zhou Yi's true face for the first time.

But before anyone else could curse Zhou Yi, the celestial screen was already scolding her to her face.

"Moreover, in front of a refined egoist like Zhou Yi, she will hypocritically claim she's doing this to cultivate better students for Shrek Academy, not for herself."

"Or she might argue that the students she expelled all failed to complete the tasks she assigned, so she had no choice but to expel them."

"But let me tell you—everything Zhou Yi says is pure bullshit!"

"Let's not talk about anything else. Take the example of not finishing a hundred laps. Tell me, which school rule in Shrek Academy says a student must be expelled for not finishing laps?"

"As I recall, the only way Shrek Academy can dismiss a student is through the annual academy assessment."

"Moreover, this assessment is decided by Shrek Academy itself, not by a single teacher like Zhou Yi, right?"

"Fine, you say it's your rule—if they don't finish a hundred laps, they're expelled directly."

"Then if it were Yan Shaozhe, the dean of Shrek, facing teachers like Zhou Yi under him, could Yan Shaozhe also make a rule?"

"Within a year, any teacher whose soul power hasn't increased by fifteen levels gets expelled directly. If they dare to object, their martial soul gets crippled on the spot."

Hearing what the celestial screen said, the outside world might not know, but everyone in Shrek Academy—from Mu En and Yan Shaozhe down to teachers like Mu Jin—understood clearly.

The celestial screen was absolutely right. Moreover, the annual academy assessment was only meant to increase students' sense of crisis. Except for those who didn't study at all, very few were actually expelled.

Lies don't hurt—the truth is the sharp knife.

One could say that the number of students Zhou Yi alone expelled nearly equaled the total number expelled by all other teachers combined, including those dismissed by the assessment.

Seeing this, even Fan Yu couldn't bear to watch anymore.

He truly hadn't known that Zhou Yi had done so many outrageous things behind his back, using his name.

He lowered his head in shame, unable to face listening to the celestial screen's words that stabbed straight at his heart.

But reality was cruel—the celestial screen wouldn't stop just because Fan Yu didn't want to hear it.

"Perhaps everyone has no concept of what running a hundred laps means, so let me give you an analogy from real life."

"You're a student with a weak foundation who barely got into high school. On the first day of school, you meet a teacher named Zhou Yi."

"In her first class, she teaches nothing. She directly mandates that you finish five sets of exam papers in two days, with an accuracy rate above eighty percent. Hand them in after class."

"Can't finish? Expelled directly. Caught checking answers? Expelled directly. Caught copying others? Expelled directly. Accuracy rate too low? Expelled directly."

"Those with weak foundations can't finish, so they get expelled on the spot. You report it to the school, but Zhou Yi's husband is the vice principal, the future principal."

"Now, do you understand just how outrageous Zhou Yi's actions really are?"

At this moment, although the people of Douluo Continent couldn't fully grasp the example the celestial screen gave, it didn't stop them from understanding the meaning behind it.

The celestial screen was completely tearing apart Zhou Yi's disguise, then using the sharpest knife to cut into her heart.

"This is simply something no human would do. A responsible teacher expelling a student just because they didn't finish running laps?"

"Let's not even talk about that student who had no choice but to run five fewer laps just now—even those who deliberately slacked off, should they be expelled just because they didn't finish?"

"And also, Zhou Yi would expel a student just for being a few minutes late."

"Tell me, be honest—have you never made a single mistake in your entire life, from childhood to now?"

"In my heart, a truly responsible teacher is one like Dance Sky from the Dragon King's Legend, not a teacher like Zhou Yi who expels students at the drop of a hat."

"With one light word from Zhou Yi, 'expelled,' she can destroy a child's future! Destroy a family's hope!"

"Don't try to argue that Xiaoqiang's parents' death has nothing to do with Zhou Yi. If you have any heart at all, you'll see that Xiaoqiang's parents weren't worked to death, nor were they eaten by soul beasts."

"They were forced to death by that demon, Zhou Yi!"

"Every expulsion list Zhou Yi handed up was the despair of a family whose hopes had been shattered!"

"They were injustices hidden beneath the halo of Zhou Yi's reputation as a famous teacher!"

"Zhou Yi is a demon wearing human skin!"
