"Who can tell me what on earth just happened?"
Wang Yan swept his gaze across the circle and spotted Huo Yuhao. Seeing that he looked reasonably calm, he called him over, while Xiao Xiao had already been standing to the side, clutching her chest and trembling.
Huo Yuhao told Wang Yan the sequence of events in the most straightforward, direct, uncurved, subjective, truest, and most concise manner possible. After listening, Wang Yan frowned, momentarily unsure of how to proceed.
After all, a sixth-ring losing to a first-ring and failing to win-if word got out, it would be as though the teachers of Shrek Academy were trash. Zhou Yi's rash behavior this time might actually cause Shrek Academy's influence to decline.
However, the most important thing right now should be sending Zhou Yi off for treatment. Lying on the ground surrounded by a crowd of students didn't look proper anyway.
A phoenix shadow streaked across the sky, flying in from the depths of Shrek Academy, and landed on the ground where a figure emerged from the light-it was precisely Yan Shaozhe, whom Mu En had called over to handle the problem.
"Teacher Wang Yan, please take Teacher Zhou Yi to the infirmary now. I will take charge here from this point on."
Yan Shaozhe's gentle voice rang out across the plaza, suppressing the originally noisy discussions, and the students stared at Yan Shaozhe in dumbfounded awe.
"Understood, Dean."
Seeing someone take over, and the Dean of the Martial Soul Department at that, Wang Yan also let out a breath of relief. After all, he was merely a minor teacher. He hurriedly scooped up the rolling-eyed Zhou Yi and walked in the direction of the infirmary.
"Hello, students, I am Yan Shaozhe, Dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy."
Yan Shaozhe wore pure white robes, a smile on his face, and carried an inherent charisma.
"First, as the Dean, I apologize to everyone."
Hearing these words, gasps of astonishment arose once more among the student ranks, followed closely by lowered whispers.
"I am sorry that a black sheep appeared within our teaching ranks. This is my dereliction of duty, allowing you to be taught by such a person."
"The matter has been settled, don't worry."
Wang Dong gently poked Tang Wulin, signaling that he didn't need to worry.
"I'm not worried about this matter; I'm just concerned about whether that teacher will end up with any lingering side effects later on."
Tang Wulin lowered his voice as he spoke. With his kind personality continuing to exert its influence, Tang Wulin had never once thought of genuinely harming that teacher.
"Hmph~~~"
Wang Dong said speechlessly that his little brother was good at everything, except that sometimes he was simply too soft-hearted, even pitying his enemies.
That's right, in the eyes of Young Master Dong, who had been pampered and raised in a honey pot, Zhou Yi's behavior of looking for trouble over nothing was already enough for him to classify her as an enemy.
Off to the side, Huo Yuhao's brows curved with smiles in his eyes, while Xiao Xiao quietly lowered the hand guarding her chest.
Yan Shaozhe noticed the movements of the few of them, but didn't say anything. He merely paused and continued speaking.
Without a long-winded speech, Yan Shaozhe quickly concluded this address, upholding Shrek Academy's public credibility while incidentally boosting the students' adoration for Shrek Academy, greatly strengthening their cohesion.
Only when the crowd began to disperse did Yan Shaozhe finally walk over with a smile.
"Uncle Yan."
Tang Wulin lowered his head and obediently greeted him. He still felt somewhat guilty for causing this outcome.
"Wulin, you really flatter me."
Yan Shaozhe smiled until his eyes narrowed, speaking with a hint of delight.
"Thanks to you this time, we were able to discover the shortcomings within the teaching ranks. After discussion, it has been decided that Zhou Yi has been dismissed from the teaching ranks."
Wandering into the imperial court~~
Xiao Xiao listened from the side, such a phrase suddenly popping up in her mind.
She had originally been shocked upon hearing Tang Wulin call the Dean "Uncle," but as a result, Zhou Yi had been beaten like that, and in the blink of an eye was no longer a person of Shrek Academy-directly dismissed just like that. This was far too casual.
"Ah?"
Even Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao were somewhat startled. Although the other party's teaching methods had some problems, it shouldn't have reached the point of dismissal.
"According to investigative reports, in her many years of teaching activities, Zhou Yi has repeatedly used the power in her hands to arbitrarily expel students, subjected class students to verbal and physical abuse during teaching, and caused numerous students to suffer from injuries and illnesses due to excessive training, leaving their Soul Power unable to advance even an inch. This has already severely impacted the reputation of Shrek Academy."
"Such a black sheep deserves to be dismissed."
Yan Shaozhe said with considerable emotion.
Actually, they also held some of the evidence in their hands. Not all students who came to Shrek Academy were ordinary people, and there were those who appealed after encountering such treatment. However, behind Zhou Yi stood Fan Yu, a Level 8 Soul Engineer and likely the next Dean of the Soul Tool Department. Under his intimidation and efforts to clean up the mess, these matters had all been suppressed by Shrek.
Yet who told Zhou Yi to be accustomed to acting overbearing all the time? This time she ran into a tough nail, and it was hard to say whether Fan Yu would be affected as well.
However, his speech minimized the impact brought by this incident, and the Martial Soul Department actually gained some benefits; the one who truly suffered losses was the Soul Tool Department.
Today was yet another day of defeating the Soul Tool Department.
"How could there be such a disgusting teacher? No wonder this young master found her unpleasant to look at."
Wang Dong said with lingering resentment. He had taken a torrent of abuse from Zhou Yi for no rhyme or reason.
After listening to Yan Shaozhe's words, the guilt in Tang Wulin's heart finally dissipated. Failing to notice anything amiss in Yan Shaozhe's words, he instead felt some regret as to why he had fed that medicinal pill to Zhou Yi back then-that pill had been worth a huge sum of money, after all.
Wulin's avaricious personality went online once more.
"But Uncle Yan, since that's the case, have those students who were once hurt by Zhou Yi received compensation?"
Tang Wulin was suddenly stunned. His kind personality came online once again, his brows drooping as he began to worry for those students who had been injured in the past.
"Rest assured, Wulin, the compensation has already been distributed step by step, and their lives are all quite good."
Yan Shaozhe said without a blush or a skip in his heartbeat. The compensation Fan Yu provided was indeed quite generous-being a Soul Engineer, and also to suppress the matter. But as for what happened to that money once it reached the hands of those half-disabled students, Shrek Academy had no way to manage it.
Many of those were family matters, and the academy could not well force the issue.
"That's good then."
Tang Wulin finally let out a breath of relief. The events that occurred today were truly unforgettable.
"Perhaps the students in that teacher's class will even thank you, Wulin. After all, now that Zhou Yi is gone, whichever teacher comes next to teach will definitely be attentive."
Yan Shaozhe naturally perceived the change in Tang Wulin's mood. While inwardly reflecting that the Son of God was a good child, he winked at Tang Wulin to coax him.
Who wouldn't want their future leader to be a kind and good person?
"Alright, Wulin, I still have some matters to attend to. Your Teacher Wang Yan won't be able to finish teaching this class for the time being; go and notify the students of your class that today is a day off."
Yan Shaozhe waved his hand, tossed out those words, and transformed into a phoenix shadow, flying toward the center of the academy.
"Then what are we going to do next?"
The few of them looked at each other in dismay.
"To celebrate our getting acquainted, let's go out to eat together."
"My treat!"
Xiao Xiao raised her hand and said to the three of them with a smile, wanting to seize the future.
"Fine."
Wang Dong nodded with a peculiar expression, Huo Yuhao remained smiling, while Tang Wulin rubbed his belly.
He wasn't too hungry, and moreover, eating too much the first time wasn't good either, so he would just eat a few basins less.
