"Mu Jin, if you aren't going to properly discipline your students, what are you doing here in my classroom!" Zhou Yi's expression darkened instantly upon seeing the purple-robed teacher at the head of the group.
However, seeing so many other teachers present, she still retracted her martial soul rings.
"Hehehe, it's not about what I want to do, but rather, what is it that you want to do, Teacher Zhou?" Mu Jin said with a gloating laugh. "Expelling three freshmen all at once, Teacher Zhou, you certainly are quite imposing~"
After all, Zhou Yi had once expelled her younger brother from the third grade in exactly this manner. Years of hard work had gone to waste, and the stain of being expelled from Shrek Academy had left a profound impact on her brother's life.
Everything was caused by this old hag, Zhou Yi!
Inside the classroom, Chu Feng recognized Mu Jin as well.
This Mu Jin seemed to be from Class Two of the freshmen, and her teaching standards were quite good. However, because her brother had talked back to Zhou Yi, he had been directly expelled by this old hag, which led to the grudge between the two. In the original story, such a diligent and hardworking teacher was written like a villain, constantly suppressed by Zhou Yi; it was truly pitiful.
"Hmph, these are students in my own class; I naturally have the authority to expel them!" Zhou Yi snorted, her attitude remaining rigid. She wanted obedient students. She was a teacher, and furthermore, she had lived for decades and possessed a wealth of experience in cultivating soul masters.
A bunch of wet-behind-the-ears rookies didn't know a damn thing. They hadn't even grown their feathers yet and dared to challenge her? Such trashy students, no matter how good their talent was, would have limited achievements in the future. It was better to just expel them and have them get lost early, lest they corrupt the other students.
"Teacher Zhou, you have indeed gone a bit too far." Just then, a middle-aged man wearing a black suit and black-rimmed glasses walked into the classroom and spoke slowly.
Hearing someone dare to lecture her, Zhou Yi immediately wanted to lash out, but when she turned and saw who it was, she was suddenly stunned: "Director Du, why are you here!"
Zhou Yi was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected Du Weilun to show up. As the Dean of Academics, both his strength and his position were far higher than hers.
"Teacher Zhou, you still haven't changed that volatile temper of yours. I will report this matter to the higher-ups. As for these three students, you cannot expel them."
Du Weilun glanced at Zhou Yi and spoke indifferently.
He hadn't expected that someone like Zhou Yi would have such a temper, expelling students based on her mood without rhyme or reason. This was going too far.
Especially since the ones she wanted to expel were these three.
Chu Feng was an individual that Dean Yan had specifically instructed to be monitored; it was no exaggeration to say he was the most talented student Shrek had seen in a hundred years.
That Wang Dong came from the Clear Sky Sect and likely held a noble status. His talent was also astonishing; not only did he possess Twin Martial Souls, but he also held two top-tier martial souls: the Radiant Goddess Butterfly and the Clear Sky Hammer.
That Xiao Xiao also possessed Twin Martial Souls and displayed immense talent at such a young age.
These three could be considered the strongest in the entire first grade. Now, they were all being expelled. Such a loss was something that not even a Zhou Yi—let alone her husband, the Soul Engineer Fan Yu—could bear.
"On what grounds!" Zhou Yi exploded upon hearing this!
"I am the head teacher! I have the authority to expel any student in Class One!"
"Besides, these three have no respect for their elders and talked back to their teacher. This is a serious violation of school rules; they deserve to be kicked out!"
Zhou Yi shouted angrily.
She was nearly going insane. So what if they had a bit of talent? What was so special about them that the academy had to protect them?
She was a teacher at the academy, and her husband was the academy's Level 8 Soul Engineer Fan Yu. Everything she did was for the sake of the academy; what had she done wrong!
"Zhou Yi! There are so many students watching, calm yourself!" Du Weilun knew Zhou Yi's temper, but seeing her go mad for no reason, he felt a trace of anger. This Zhou Yi clearly had something wrong with her brain, acting like a lunatic in public with so many students watching. What would these freshmen think?
This would make the freshmen feel that Shrek's teachers were all unreasonable, which would have a very negative impact on Shrek's reputation.
Previously, Zhou Yi had taught the third grade, and expelling students at the bottom of the grade didn't matter much; the academy had turned a blind eye. But these were freshmen, the future of the academy; naturally, they wouldn't let Zhou Yi run wild.
He had thought that demoting Zhou Yi to the freshman classes would make her restrain herself, but he hadn't expected this woman to become even more overbearing!
If not for the sake of Fan Yu, this woman wouldn't even be fit to be a head teacher!
Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Du Weilun, Zhou Yi finally calmed down slightly, though a raging fire still burned in her heart.
Du Weilun couldn't be bothered to deal with this madwoman and shifted his gaze to Chu Feng, feeling even more helpless, as he didn't see a hint of fear on Chu Feng's face.
He knew that Chu Feng had the pride of a genius, but he hadn't expected him to clash with Zhou Yi on the very first day of class.
"Chu Feng, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao, Teacher Zhou Yi's actions were indeed inappropriate. I apologize to you on behalf of the academy."
"You can choose to withdraw from Shrek Academy now, or you can choose a new class. You are all geniuses of the academy; as long as you are geniuses, you will not be buried at Shrek."
Du Weilun spoke with great sincerity, but he did not force them to stay.
After all, the academy had indeed been inconsiderate in this matter. If the students held a grudge against the school, forcing them to stay wouldn't be ideal.
"Many thanks, Director Du. I choose to change classes. I'll just pick one at random—let's go to Class Nine," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"Then I'll change to Class Nine as well."
"I'm going to Class Nine too!"
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao spoke in unison.
Both of them found Zhou Yi extremely unpleasant. This kind of shitty teacher was a cancer; it was one thing to target students, but to expel them at the drop of a hat without any reason was completely unreasonable!
"What! You..." Zhou Yi was nearly angered to death upon hearing this!
Not only were these three not expelled, but they were actually going to the class of her arch-rival, Mu Jin!
"Hehehehe, then many thanks to Teacher Zhou~" Just then, a purple-robed teacher walked out from the crowd; it was none other than the head teacher of Class Nine, Mu Jin.
Mu Jin looked at Chu Feng and the others, smiling happily: "Children, hello. I am Mu Jin, the head teacher of Class Nine. Welcome to the Class Nine family! I guarantee you that I will never expel students at will like Zhou Yi. Our class follows democratic principles and won't be a place where one person has the final say, like Zhou Yi's class~"
Mu Jin's smile was as bright as a flower, and she was overjoyed in her heart.
Although she didn't know the identities of these three, the fact that Du Weilun had personally come out to defend them meant their talent was absolutely extraordinary!
That idiot Zhou Yi really thought she was someone important, daring to expel such excellent students~
Zhou Yi might not want them, but Mu Jin certainly did!
With these three joining, it was possible that Class Nine could actually win the championship during the Freshman Assessment! This would be an immense honor, one that might even promote her directly to a high-ranking teacher!
"Very well, since Teacher Mu Jin has no objections, it is settled." Du Weilun nodded, then looked toward Chu Feng and the others, saying, "I will modify your files, and I guarantee that this matter will not have any impact on your future cultivation. You may leave with Teacher Mu Jin."
"Understood." Chu Feng looked at Mu Jin and smiled, "Please take good care of us in the future, Teacher Mu Jin~"
"Hehehe~ Children, let's go. Class Nine welcomes you~" Seeing this, Mu Jin laughed even more happily.
Soon, Mu Jin led Chu Feng and the others away.
The other teachers who were watching the spectacle were also dismissed by Du Weilun.
Zhou Yi's complexion was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"What are you looking at? Everyone run 120 laps within one hour. If you don't finish, you're expelled!!"
Suddenly, Zhou Yi roared at the remaining students.
"Ah... but teacher... didn't you just say 100 laps..." a student asked weakly.
"Bang!" Zhou Yi was already fuming, and being defied again, she slammed the table and shouted, "I want geniuses, not idiots! I am still your head teacher, and I still have the right to expel anyone who dares to disobey my orders! Now, get out and start training immediately!"
Hearing this, all the students were terrified into silence and hurriedly left the classroom to run their laps.
After all, those present were not fools; Chu Feng and the others could defy Zhou Yi because they had the qualifications to do so.
As for those who remained, they were just ordinary talented students and naturally had no such privileges...
