At the end of the day, it was all the fault of the Ivory Tower's harsh evaluation system for fixed classrooms.
To a certain extent, the overly cautious evaluation process also played a good role in protecting the school's spirit from outside infiltration.
If more than 30% of the members of the teaching and research room did not agree, then it would be impossible to establish a foundation in this school.
This led to a paradox — — mud that could not be helped up to the wall could not be helped up, and teachers with excellent academic background and teaching ability did not need the support of other external forces.
Even if a few were sent in occasionally, they would quickly be assimilated by the cohesion of the Ivory Tower itself.
Over the years, the only person with a pureblood background and a high position was the Vice-Principal, Mr. Isaac. It was thanks to this gentleman's support that his successors were able to stand firm in the Ivory Tower and not lose their own positions.
And most importantly — — the Ivory Tower did not care about the infiltration of the purebloods.
At least, many teachers in the teaching and research room were not interested.
Most things that existed objectively had their reasons and reasons. The existence of the purebloods itself proved that they had outstanding abilities, talents, or skills, and those who could teach in the Ivory Tower more or less had unique talents. Did they have to be rejected just because their families were rich and powerful?
It was not a problem for the purebloods to fight for their own position in the teaching and research room. Why not? It was normal for the capable to be at the top at any time.
Even professors with a background in Green Sun could be tolerated here, so what if a few pureblood families came? Did they not want to be teachers when they came?
Did they want to just eat and not work when they came?
Therefore, the source of Huai Shi's current predicament was instead the escalating conflict and struggle between the principal and the vice-principal over the years.
At such a sensitive time, Huai Shi fell from the sky.
This change was generally seen by both sides as a blow and a warning from the principal to the vice-principal. It was no wonder that the purebloods' supporters saw Huai Shi as an enemy.
In the end, no one would have thought that — — Huai Shi had not even seen the principal until now, and did not even know what he looked like. He had become the principal's tool in such a muddle-headed manner!
"That old bastard is too much!" Huai Shi gritted his teeth and couldn't help but curse.
"That's right, that's right."
Little Hut in the Woods nodded in agreement. "I heard that Vice-Principal Isaac is cold and harsh. He has never been kind to anyone. This time, our teacher will definitely be treated as a thorn in his side!"
What?
Huai Shi looked up at him in shock. He felt that he had misunderstood something.
"Didn't his student, Martin, overestimate himself and try to show off in front of you?"
If there was no relationship between the two of them before, Lin Shijiu would have been happy to laugh at Martin. Now that he had become Huai Shi's student, he had to put the dignity of his teacher first. Naturally, he would remember Martin's words.
Even their hatred and fear for the Vice Principal grew.
"Now that you've become his teaching assistant, he'll definitely make his move in secret …"
As he spoke, he made a gesture of slitting his neck with a gloomy expression. "Even if it isn't to this extent, he won't let you get the only classroom slot at such a crucial time this year. At that time, there will definitely be people causing trouble.
Therefore, it's better for us to strike first and gain the upper hand.
As long as I go undercover and sneak into the inner circle of the pure-bloods, it won't take me five days to figure out who is playing tricks inside. At that time, I'll make a list, and our teacher can easily remove those clowns — "
"Wait!"
Lin Shijiu became more and more excited. He had already talked about how to frame people and secretly kill them, or how to let Huai Shi directly find a crime and behead them one by one. As long as they could lure the snake out of its hole, then besiege Wei to rescue Zhao, Lin Shijiu would deceive everyone and substitute one person for another, while Huai Shi would fish in troubled waters. Finally, they would take drastic measures to frighten the clowns …
Huai Shi could only say that Lin Shijiu was indeed the most promising child of the Lin Family. He was thoroughly evil.
Lin Shijiu could only hurriedly stop him before his words became more and more outrageous.
"Apart from other things, your idea of going undercover is f * cking outrageous."
Huai Shi stared at Lin Shijiu with an unhappy expression. "Am I here to be a teacher or to fight? Do you want to be a student or a cannon fodder?
Besides, I'm an inspector of the Central Bureau. Even if the vice principal doesn't like me, will he really kill me with one finger? "
Lin Shijiu was embarrassed and speechless.
After this, he didn't know whether he had received the proof of allegiance or not, and it was so embarrassing, which really made him feel a little helpless. But when he heard Huai Shi sternly refuse to go undercover and that he didn't need to be a traitor's tool, he suddenly felt relieved.
Wasn't that good?
He directly killed Lin Shijiu's undercover plan from the seedling.
Huai Shi began to have a headache. It seemed that there was still a long way to go before he could correct this boy's tendency to be sneaky. He could only take it slowly in the future …
But since his student was so concerned about his own affairs, Huai Shi didn't want to pour cold water on him and drive him away. After a series of adept comforting and encouraging words that even surprised himself, he sent Lin Shijiu back.
After returning home, he subconsciously wanted to discuss with Crow.
But these two days, she had been busy with something in the basement and didn't show up at all. She also told Fang Shu not to disturb her.
This made Huai Shi more and more headache.
Perhaps in her opinion, these things were still within the scope of Huai Shi's ability to deal with? If there was really a danger of overturning, she would definitely be the first to prepare to run away.
But then again, no matter how he thought about it, the tacit understanding and trust between contractors could only be reflected on running away … He felt that there was something wrong.
In the lounge, Huai Shi played the piano for two hours and finally started to think.
He sorted out his thoughts.
Now the top priority in his mind was not the possibility of someone plotting against him.
He was sure about this — even if the vice principal really wanted to get rid of him, he would never act recklessly. On the contrary, the more he didn't like him, the more he would follow the rules.
He would never leave any excuse for others to criticize him.
Moreover, the current Huai Shi was no longer a nobody who could be easily killed. Even if he wanted to expel Huai Shi, he must be able to explain himself.
Before Huai Shi and the Ivory Tower were completely cut off, not to mention assassinating him, Huai Shi wouldn't even touch a slightly dangerous job.
Perhaps it was because he was used to being persecuted, Huai Shi didn't care about this kind of problem.
What he cared about was the only place in the classroom this year.
Only by truly entering the teaching and research room could he openly come into contact with the Book of Destiny stored in the library and determine its authenticity.
If his competitors had the support of purebloods, he would definitely fall into a great disadvantage without any foundation.
This matter must be considered at length …
.
.
"How many times have I said this? This matter must be considered at length!"
In an office in the Ivory Tower, an old man across the table frowned and looked at his student. "What are you thinking? Have you been blown silly by those purebloods who call you brothers? You actually want to jump out and go against him? "
The student was stunned. He didn't expect the teacher to be so unhappy. "Isn't he just an outdated idol? Teacher, why are you so anxious?"
"If he was a has-been idol, would he have been invited to the Ivory Tower?"
The teacher's expression became gloomier. "Before you say this, why don't you see how high the list of people who died in his hands can be? Compared to anyone on the list, what are you? Who do I think I am? "
"Would he dare to kill people in the Ivory Tower?" The student stubbornly retorted. "Teacher, you think too much. This is a place with rules!"
"Isn't the Astronomy Society a place with rules? Why do you think he wouldn't dare to kill people in the Ivory Tower? "
The old man became more and more disappointed. His expression gradually turned cold. "Why wouldn't he dare to kill me, an old man who has been teaching for my whole life? Ross? Or do you want to use my life to bet on your future? "
Feeling the coldness from the teacher, the student's face suddenly panicked and he wanted to explain.
The teacher waved his hand impatiently.
"Okay, after so many years, how can I not know what kind of person you are? Wasn't I the same as you when I was 25 years old? Do you think you can be arrogant just because you have a little talent? You think you know the truth, but you are blind and ignorant —
If you really want to sell your teacher for wealth, you definitely won't dare to. But Ross, even if you want to sell me, you should sell me for a suitable price, right? What can your so-called Brotherhood give you? "
The teacher sneered unceremoniously and glanced at the student in front of him. "It seems that your brain is really damaged from studying. It's time for you to broaden your horizons. Later, go and apply for an internship. Don't wait until tomorrow, and don't go see your friends. After the application is approved, leave immediately, as fast as you can … Otherwise, sooner or later, you will die of stupidity here."
As he spoke, the old man pointed to the door of his office, indicating that he could leave.
"But, but teacher … Where am I going?" The student stood there blankly and didn't move.
"I will arrange a good place for you. Who asked you to be my sister's only son?"
The teacher kicked him for a long time, but in the end, he shook his head in disappointment. "Just treat this as a lesson, Ross. Now, only you are leaving … If you really offend someone you can't afford to offend, you and I will be the ones at the end of the road today."
The student silently bowed his head and turned to leave.
But after pushing the door open, he couldn't help but turn back and take one last look at the old man. "Teacher, are you really willing? You have waited for so many years. Are you going to give up when you are so close to the independent classroom? "
"Otherwise? Are you going to use dirty tricks to court death? "
The old man revised his lesson plan and answered without raising his head, "I am already 62 years old, Ross. Do you know what it means to be 62 years old?
I am already old. So old that sometimes I pee on my shoes when I pee. When I take a shower, I fall and can't get up.
My life has come to this point. Is it not enough to be able to end my life in the ivory tower? Why do I have to fly and be a pawn for a bunch of kids who haven't even graduated from college? "
His pen paused and left a sharp scratch on the paper.
"Learn to be content with what you have, Ross." He said, "This is the only thing this useless old thing can teach you."
This was the last conversation between the teacher and the student.
The door closed.
After a long, long time, the lesson plan was finally revised again.
The old man put down his pen and recalled the angry look on the student's face before he left. He couldn't help but lean back in his chair and sigh tiredly.
Rules?
When you don't put the rules in your eyes, why do you expect others to follow the rules?
Of course, the truly strong never cared about rules.
But weren't rules set up to protect the weak with no talent like them?
Some of the weak violated the rules because of greed. Such greed was the path to their own destruction.
But some of the strong followed the rules because of morality.
This was the truth that Ross didn't understand.
— — Greed could be disdained, but morality from the heart must be respected.
Otherwise, as the weak, how could they maintain this last shred of dignity?
.
.
On the last day before the start of school, facing the curtain that was about to slowly unfold, who knew how many undercurrents were surging under the calm surface of the ivory tower.
Who knew how many people were rushing about for selfish reasons or public benefits.
And in the evening, the door of the stone marrow hall was knocked on again.
A young man with elegant etiquette waited in front of the door and handed over a token to prove his identity. He wanted to talk to Teacher Huai Shi, who was sitting at the heart of the storm.
In the training room, the sweaty Huai Shi picked up the phone and heard Fang Shu's voice, "Young Master, a student of the Howler family has come to see you."
Howler?
Huai Shi scratched his head. Why did this name sound so familiar? Had he heard it before? But he couldn't remember, and he was too lazy to flip through the Book of Destiny. He just asked, "Is he also here to apply for a mentor position?"
"It doesn't look like it. “
"Then I won't see him."
Huai Shi rolled his eyes, "All of them like to put on an act and talk nonsense, wasting other people's time. Tell him, if there's anything, we'll talk about it after school starts."
He was too lazy to play mind games with these kids.
Even if the other party was a pureblood, a member of the Howler family, or perhaps had some huge influence in the school … … But what did this have to do with him, Little Page of Huaihai Lu?
Since the other party didn't come with good intentions, there was no need to waste time.
When the time came, if he wanted to cause trouble, he would just have to wait for Teacher's beloved iron fist and cello to play.
Unlike Lin Shijiu's caution and nervousness, Huai Shi … … didn't care about these kids. After going through so many storms, it was a bit too much to be so cautious about the goblins in the novice village.
"I understand."
On the other end, Fang Shu nodded without any hesitation, put down the phone, and walked out of the door.
"I'm sorry, the young master is not seeing any guests today."
The old butler informed the teenager at the door, "Please go back, Mr. Fred."
The teenager didn't fly into a rage. Instead, he raised his eyebrows slightly and suppressed the anger in his heart. After nodding slightly, he turned around and got into the car to leave.
The old butler calmly closed the door again, not taking this trivial matter to heart.
It was almost time for dinner.
What should I eat tonight?
.
In the car, the teenager's expression gradually became gloomy.
The girl in the front passenger seat looked up at him and smiled mockingly, "I told you, Morgan, your tricks won't be taken seriously at all … … No matter how much a kid puts on an act, he's still a kid. No matter how big of a fuss you make, adults will only think that you're asking for candy."
"I just want to ask for candy, but what about you, Second Sister, who's even worse than me?" Morgan sneered and retorted, "Are you asking for a beating?"
"You don't know this." The girl called Second Sister revealed an innocent expression, "That judge is much gentler to girls."
Morgan indifferently retracted his gaze and looked back at the stone marrow restaurant that was gradually disappearing behind him. He couldn't help but sneer, "A lackey of the Astronomy Association dares to put on an act in front of me … … Let's wait and see!"
.
Just like that, some were calm, some were unwilling, some were angry, some were expectant … …
A short night quickly passed by as countless hearts beat either calmly or restlessly.
The long holiday came to an end.
The day of school had arrived.
