Chapter 242: Complaint (Second Update)

Inside the Red Fang’s command room.

Commander Xiao Ye sat in the command chair, looking at the time displayed on the virtual screen. There were less than 6 minutes left until 8 o’clock.

However, the scanning screen still showed no mechas returning. He said to Lieutenant Anjie with a poker face,

“Prepare to activate the superluminal flight device.”

“Yes, sir!”

Lieutenant Anjie sighed inwardly and responded.

Just then, three green dots suddenly appeared on the scanning device’s display screen.

An Operator excitedly shouted,

“They’re here! They’ve caught up!”

Commander Xiao Ye glanced at them, nodded slightly, and said,

“Open Training Area 1’s boarding gate. Guide them to board the ship. Once they’re inside, immediately activate the superluminal flight device.”

“Yes, sir!”

Lieutenant Anjie responded with a hint of a smile.

Inside the training area.

Many students, teachers, and Vice Principal Fuleike were anxiously waiting.

They continuously checked the time displayed on their wristbands; only a few minutes remained until eight o’clock.

Just then, the No. 1 boarding gate suddenly opened, startling everyone as they looked over.

Three Azure Wing Mechas rushed in at an extremely high speed.

Screech! Screech!~

Immediately after, the three Azure Wing Mechas performed an extreme brake, sending sparks flying.

At this moment, Vice Principal Fuleike and the others rushed to the front of the three mechas, asking one after another,

“How is it? Were they rescued?”

“They were rescued.”

Opham said in a deep voice.

“Good, that’s great!”

Vice Principal Fuleike’s tense expression immediately broke into a bright smile, saying very happily.

Everyone present, hearing that the people were rescued, burst into enthusiastic applause.

Clap! Clap!~

At this moment, the cockpits of the Azure Wing Mechas opened one by one. Teacher Tang Xuan jumped down with Winnie, and Opham also followed suit.

Vice Principal Fuleike stepped forward, shaking hands with each of them with a beaming smile.

“You’ve worked hard.”

At this moment, Su Ming also opened his cockpit and jumped down.

Vice Principal Fuleike also extended his hand, grasping Su Ming’s hand and saying,

“You’ve worked hard.”

“Thank you.”

Su Ming replied politely.

“It’s nothing.”

Vice Principal Fuleike replied with a chuckle, but the next second, he looked at Su Ming in front of him and suddenly paused, feeling that something was off.

Immediately after, Vice Principal Fuleike’s eyes widened, and he stammered,

“Su Ming? How is it you?”

At this moment, Teacher Tang Xuan walked up from the side and spoke to Vice Principal Fuleike with extreme anger.

“Vice Principal Fuleike, I want to file a complaint against Teacher Mia; she actually didn’t come to class.”

Rhein and the others, seeing this scene, slapped their foreheads and said weakly,

“It’s over!”

“What’s going on?”

Vice Principal Fuleike’s mind was a bit muddled.

“Teacher Mia didn’t come to class. Su Ming was in the mecha’s cockpit, and he went with us to rescue the people.”

Opham explained calmly.

“That’s right, while I’m complaining about Mia, I also want to commend Su Ming. He displayed extraordinary strength and talent in this rescue operation!”

Although Tang Xuan was extremely angry with Mia, she still genuinely praised Su Ming.

“Indeed! Su Ming performed exceptionally well in this operation; one could even say that his contribution was indispensable for the success of this rescue!”

Opham also gave Su Ming a very high evaluation.

Vice Principal Fuleike immediately reacted, cursing Mia in his heart, and said in a deep voice,

“I understand!”

Su Ming explained awkwardly,

“Principal, actually Teacher Mia wasn’t feeling very well.”

“Su Ming, you don’t need to explain for her. Don’t we know what kind of person she is? It’s one thing for her to slack off occasionally, but this time it’s simply too much. Look, which school’s teacher dares to skip class and let a student substitute? If this gets out, not only will people laugh their heads off, but they’ll also think Royal Court Academy is some kind of second-rate school. If you ask me, this Mia is just a troublemaker. Which teacher in Royal Court Academy is like her? Principal, I don’t understand why the school keeps her!”

Tang Xuan was trembling with rage; Mia’s behavior was simply bringing shame to the entire school.

At this moment, the surrounding teachers also angrily spoke up, saying,

“Exactly! This is too much!”

“How dare she do this?”

“It’s one thing to mess around normally, but to skip such an important teaching class and hand it over to a student to teach.”

Vice Principal Fuleike listened to everyone’s condemnation, feeling a huge headache. If any other teacher had done this, they would truly be fired.

The problem was that Vice Principal Fuleike could not actually fire Mia, or even punish her.

Su Ming watched everyone angrily condemn Mia, and could only brace himself, awkwardly defending her.

“Everyone, please calm down. Actually, Teacher Mia also has a sense of propriety. She felt this course was quite simple, which is why she let me substitute. And look, didn’t she teach us quite well?”

“How would she teach students? She slacks off every day. You’ve achieved such results purely because of your own hard work and outstanding talent. If you ask me, you shouldn’t learn from her anymore. Just transfer to our class. Following her will only hold you back! Although my current combat level might not be stronger than yours, I am a teacher, and I know very well how to guide and cultivate students. I can definitely make you even more outstanding!”

Tang Xuan also greatly admired Su Ming. In her eyes, Su Ming was a bright pearl that would only be dulled in Mia’s hands. Moreover, Tang Xuan wasn’t exaggerating; in her years of teaching, she had cultivated many students with ordinary aptitudes into outstanding individuals.

“Thank you for your kind words, Teacher Tang, but no, thank you.”

Su Ming replied awkwardly. He only wanted to explain a few words for Mia, but unexpectedly, he was poached instead.

Vice Principal Fuleike’s head hurt even more. Actually, he didn’t quite agree with what Tang Xuan said. Although Mia was unreliable, judging from the level of Class 23, she taught quite well.

Including this incident, while Mia acted recklessly, she wasn’t completely disorganized. Su Ming’s ability to overpower Lieutenant Colonel Begfins in the Three School League, even with an element of luck, meant his combat level was at least not weaker than that of an ordinary teacher. Therefore, substituting for a class would normally not be an issue.

But no matter what, she had indeed caused a big problem. However, fortunately, the kidnapped students were rescued, so Fleck spoke up, saying,

“Teacher Tang Xuan, please don’t be angry. Teacher Mia went too far this time. I will definitely punish her severely. How about this: I’ll confiscate all her bonuses for this year and cut her salary in half! You all know how much she loves money, so this punishment will definitely be very painful for her!”

“Principal…”

Teacher Tang Xuan, having heard Vice Principal Fuleike’s words, was about to continue speaking.

Vice Principal Fuleike quickly raised his hand to interrupt Teacher Tang Xuan’s words, directly settling the matter.

“It’s decided then. As for Su Ming, your performance this time was truly outstanding. I will grant you a very high number of academic credits. As for the rewards, they will be settled together once the mission is complete and we return to the school. Now, let’s give Su Ming a round of applause!”
