"Principal, according to the information we gathered, this child was an orphan."
"But he was neither arrogant nor servile. When he first arrived at the academy, the gatekeeper humiliated the village elder who was like a grandfather to him."
"And he bravely stood up to confront the gatekeeper."
"Later, he even challenged the leader of the regular students for the sake of the work-study students."
"He protected all the work-study students by himself."
"Overall, although he often got into fights, every time it was to protect someone or something."
"If you ask me, Qin Qi is a good child. He would never beat up Master for no reason."
Director Su gave an objective assessment, but it sounded entirely like he was speaking up for Qin Qi.
Between the lines, he was saying that Qin Qi would not beat up a teacher without cause.
There had to be something wrong with Master.
"You, you're all speaking up for that evil brat!"
"The dean's words can't be trusted either. They all hate me, they're all jealous of me!"
"They often mocked me as a clown and said my Ten Core Theories were nonsense!"
"They're clearly jealous of my achievements, which is why they've joined forces to drive me away now!"
Yu Xiaogang's face twisted with anger as he listened to the teachers.
Those short-sighted bastards were just jealous of him!
Jealous that he was a Master, jealous of his achievements!
For their entire lives, they could only remain insignificant teachers at this academy.
They would never achieve anything in their lives!
"Yu Xiaogang, are you saying that the teachers at our academy are all morally corrupt?"
"That they have banded together to exclude you?"
Dean Notting's expression darkened. He had personally recruited every one of these teachers.
By calling them morally corrupt, was Yu Xiaogang saying he had been blind?
Or was he saying that he was just as morally corrupt as those teachers?!
"Yes! These people have joined forces to exclude me!"
"They spread rumors around the academy, saying I'm a freeloader!"
Yu Xiaogang failed to notice Dean Notting's changing expression and shouted loudly.
"Quit barking here, damn it."
"The teachers don't like you because you were the one who looked down on them first."
"Though they may only teach at a junior Soul Master Academy, they are still teachers who educate and guide others!"
"And what the hell are you? A freeloader—what right do you have to point fingers at the teachers?"
Qin Qi immediately cursed upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words.
"What would an idiot like you know!"
"What kind of teachers who educate and guide others are they? They're nothing more than people collecting a salary!"
"They'll only ever be able to earn this little bit of money here for the rest of their lives!"
"You, all of you, are like frogs at the bottom of a well. You have no idea how vast the sky is!"
Yu Xiaogang looked down on these teachers from the bottom of his heart. Although his Soul Power was lower than theirs,
he came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan, and he had seen what the peak looked like.
He had once made the Golden Triangle famous across the continent.
The people he knew had already become Soul Saints.
He was completely different from teachers who could only deal with children!
"You still dare insult me? I'll beat you to death!"
Qin Qi immediately flew into a rage. That useless Yu Xiaogang really never learned his lesson. He had just been beaten so badly,
and now he still dared to spout such nonsense!
"Qin Qi, calm down, calm down!"
"That's right. You're still young. There's no need to ruin your future over this piece of trash."
"Calm down, calm down."
The teachers held Qin Qi back tightly, their eyes full of gratitude as they looked at him.
This child was a good child.
Though they were teachers at a junior Soul Master Academy, they were still teachers!
They were people who taught others, people worthy of respect!
This child had said it so well!
"Dean, things are exactly as you see them. What to do and whom to believe is for you to decide."
"But let me add one more thing. This academy is the work of your lifetime. Don't let one person destroy all your efforts."
Director Su stood beside the dean and spoke.
"Phew, I understand."
Dean Notting nodded. When he had invited Master here back then, part of it had been because of their friendship.
He wanted to give Master a place to stay, and on the other hand, he had believed in Master's abilities.
But so many years had passed, and not only had Master failed to help in any way,
he had not shown the slightest gratitude. Dean Notting had already done all he could.
"Yu Xiaogang, let me ask you this. Did you want Qin Qi to become your student?"
Dean Notting looked at Yu Xiaogang. At that moment, Yu Xiaogang's nose had been broken.
Several of his teeth had been knocked out, and his entire face was swollen like a pig's head.
At that moment, he looked somewhat similar to that purple pig, Luo Sanpao.
"I-I didn't!"
"I've already taken in a genius with Innate Full Soul Power. Why would I take in trash with Innate Level-One Soul Power?"
"Those little bastards were lying. It was actually him who begged me to accept him as my disciple."
"When I refused, he attacked me!"
Yu Xiaogang's mind spun, and he quickly fabricated a lie before speaking.
"Ah."
Dean Notting sighed. If this had happened to someone else, it might really have been hard to tell truth from lies.
But when it came to Yu Xiaogang, it was far too easy to distinguish.
Yu Xiaogang thought far too highly of himself and had always believed that taking someone as his disciple was a blessing bestowed upon them.
But at the academy, which student did not know Yu Xiaogang was a freeloader?
Who would be willing to take Yu Xiaogang as their teacher?
Yu Xiaogang's lie was simply too clumsy.
"Yu Xiaogang, I have taken good care of you all these years, but for the sake of the academy, I must be fair and impartial."
"Academy teacher Yu Xiaogang forced a student to take him as a teacher, then lied to deceive others after being exposed."
"At the same time, he belittled his colleagues. Based on the above, as dean, I have decided to expel Yu Xiaogang."
"Starting today, Yu Xiaogang is no longer a teacher at Notting Academy."
"Yu Xiaogang, I'll give you one night to pack your things and leave."
After Dean Notting finished speaking, he shook his head and turned to leave. He did not want to waste any more words on Yu Xiaogang.
"You, you can't do this! Have you forgotten our friendship?!"
"Have you forgotten how you begged me to come to the academy back then?!"
"If I hadn't considered our friendship, why would I have come to this dump to be a teacher?!"
Yu Xiaogang was filled with disbelief. He had never expected Dean Notting to do this.
He was both furious and hateful, and he shouted loudly.
"A dump? This place is the work of my entire life!"
Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Dean Notting finally could not hold back. He turned around and roared!
"Yu Xiaogang, open your eyes and take a good look at yourself."
"Do you really think you're some great Master? Do you really think you're a talent who has never been appreciated?"
"You're nothing but trash—trash who still hasn't broken through Rank 30 at fifty years old!"
"I let you stay because I pitied you. If I hadn't taken you in, you wouldn't even have had a place to live!"
"You'd be begging for food outside the city!"
Dean Notting roared.
Friendship did not last forever. It needed to be maintained, but Yu Xiaogang had no means of maintaining it.
No one could keep helping someone useless forever.
