Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 54
Chapter 54: New Teacher? Flexing Authority!
The next day, Chen Ye woke up early and went to class with his roommates. After a day of rest, although many of the new students were still thin, their spirits had recovered considerably. They no longer looked as dejected and worn-out as they did when they first emerged from the Secret Realm.
As for the classmates who did not return from the Secret Realm, the school and their families handled the matter, so the new students didn’t need to worry about it.
Sitting in the classroom, everyone looked around at their familiar classmates, feeling a sense of nostalgia. Soon, various conversations filled the air—
“I never imagined the Secret Realm would be so terrifying!”
“Yeah! Those jumping stiff monsters are really hard to kill.”
“By the way, how many potential points did you get in the Secret Realm?”
“I only got 14 points. What about you?”
“Sigh! If the first Secret Realm is this terrifying, I can’t even imagine how scary the monsters in the second one are.”
“I regret having an affinity for Hero Talent.”
…
There were also many students who glanced at Tang Zichen secretly. Tang Zichen was still embroiled in a storm of public opinion. Many online trolls were trying to smear her reputation, and her lack of response was shaking the confidence of her supporters.
Doubts about her were increasing. Tang Zichen herself remained calm, sitting at her desk, immersed in her book.
Before long, the bell rang, and everyone stopped chatting, sitting up straight and waiting for class.
However, when the teacher walked into the classroom, everyone’s expressions turned to surprise.
It wasn’t Teacher Liu who entered the room; it was a female teacher.
The female teacher smiled and scanned the students with a stern gaze, clearly not someone who had walked into the wrong classroom.
Immediately, a student stood up and asked, “Are you here to substitute for us, Teacher? Where’s Teacher Liu? Is he on leave?”
These questions made the new teacher’s face darken instantly.
She coldly glanced at the student and replied, “Teacher Liu was transferred to the archives because he made a mistake. My surname is Jian, and from today onwards, I am your teaching instructor.”
When the new teacher said this, her tone carried a hint of arrogance. The students all showed surprise.
Although this Teacher Jian looked very young, probably around thirty years old, she was quite attractive, with a mature charm.
But, many students furrowed their brows.
After more than a month of interaction, everyone appreciated Teacher Liu’s abilities. He was responsible, and everyone was familiar with him.
Almost everyone didn’t want to change teachers.
And now, the school not only changed their teacher without prior notice but also sent Teacher Liu to the archives?
Even if they didn’t understand anything, they knew that being sent to the archives was akin to being sidelined. Without a doubt, Teacher Liu would have a hard time turning things around.
“Teacher Jian, what mistake did Teacher Liu make?” a student couldn’t help but ask.
Everyone thought Teacher Jian might evade the question since it was inappropriate to discuss someone’s mistakes publicly.
However, Teacher Jian surprised everyone by saying, “Teacher Liu’s mistake was ignoring certain students’ early relationships!”
“You are fortunate to be admitted to Wuda University. The country invests resources to educate you, not for you to engage in love affairs here!”
Her words were stern. Teacher Jian stood tall and strict, completely different from the approachable Teacher Liu.
The students all had unpleasant expressions. When did Teacher Liu ever neglect them?
Many students even cursed in their hearts: Stricter requirements for us? Who does she think she is?
Teacher Jian paid no attention to the students’ expressions and continued, “Next, let me outline some basic requirements for you, and you better remember them.”
“First, absolute silence is required in my classroom. If you want to speak, you must raise your hand first. Second, I don’t want my students to be addicted to their phones. Who’s the Class Leader? Please collect everyone’s phones for me later.”
“Third, starting today, all students must wear the school uniform and not mess around with their hair. Those who have dyed their hair must cut it before tomorrow’s class. Fourth…”
With each requirement, the students’ expressions became more unpleasant. This wasn’t studying; it felt like being imprisoned.
At this moment, Teacher Jian, in the eyes of all the students, was not a teacher but a lunatic. Where did the school find such a weirdo?
“Tenth, and finally, absolutely no romantic relationships!!”
Teacher Jian sternly declared, “I heard rumours that two students in our class are dating, and it’s spreading online. Whether it’s true or not, it cannot happen again. If it does…”
At this point, Teacher Jian looked at Tang Zichen first but found it inappropriate to use her as an example, so she shifted her gaze to Chen Ye.
“If it happens again, I will apply to the principal to expel the student with the lower talent among the two involved in the early relationship!”
Chen Ye’s face darkened immediately.
Damn! Wasn’t she clearly targeting him with those words? With his explosive temper, he definitely couldn’t bear it!
As Chen Ye prepared to stand up and speak, someone acted faster than him.
“Teacher Jian, are you talking about me and Chen Ye when you keep mentioning early relationships?” It was Tang Zichen.
At this moment, her face was cold, and she didn’t even bother to stand up, just sitting there and asking.
Regarding early relationships with Chen Ye, Tang Zichen was the most aware.
Therefore, she was angry about Teacher Jian’s groundless accusations, especially since Teacher Jian kept going on and on without considering the truth.
She really thought too highly of herself. Upon hearing Tang Zichen’s question, Teacher Jian was stunned.
Then, she got angry too. Even if Tang Zichen had outstanding talents, she had no right to question a teacher like this, right? It showed disrespect!
“Yes!” Teacher Jian said, “I’ve heard about you and Chen Ye.”
“I don’t care why you’re interested in a student with a C-grade Hero Talent, but now that I’m here, this must stop. This is also what the school leaders want!”
“Tang Zichen, the entire Wuda University values you greatly. They don’t want you wasting your energy on trivial romantic games. Don’t disappoint the leaders’ expectations, understand?”
Despite being easy-going in front of Chen Ye, Tang Zichen had a strong temper.
Upon hearing Teacher Jian’s impolite words, Tang Zichen stood up directly, her tone icy, “Whether or not I date is my private matter, and nobody has the right to control me, including you!”
With that said, Tang Zichen packed her things and prepared to leave, refusing to attend the class as long as Teacher Jian was present.
Seeing this, Chen Ye applauded with a smile, stood up, and started packing too, ready to leave.
If Tang Zichen hadn’t stood up first, he would have definitely spoken out, and he wouldn’t be as polite as Tang Zichen.
As for the risk of being expelled? He didn’t give a damn!
This was a world where strength was respected. With the talent of the Big Bald Demon King in hand, Chen Ye wasn’t worried about his future.
