Currently, the Orange Eaton Academy, excluding Guebrach Tripwood, had 99 ordinary magic apprentices, 76 First Circle magic apprentices, 7 Second Circle magic apprentices, 9 instructor mages, 1 Great Mage, and 5 non-mage instructors. Including John Goodman, the warrior instructor, and Madame Duri, the dormitory head, there were a total of 197 people.
In other words, for two-thirds of the threshold, there had to be 132 people to impeach before any instructor could be fired. However, there was no mandatory requirement for the number of instructors that were required to be present. In other words, even if all of the instructors disagreed, there was still a possibility of being impeached by the apprentices and being fired.
Originally, he thought that by using such a difficult internal rule, he would have a chance to force this group of hyenas to retreat. But Shure Eweng did not seem to care. He nodded and said, "Well then, please gather the members of the academy and disclose your mistake in front of everyone. As for whether to stay or leave, leave it to them to decide. "
Such a straightforward agreement made Lin suddenly wonder if he had overlooked something and unknowingly fell into someone else's trap.
But since he had said so, he had no choice but to do it. Lin braced himself and went to the courtyard and asked John Goodman, the warrior instructor, to gather all the apprentices. Class had not officially started yet. Everyone was just doing the morning cleaning, so it did not take much effort to gather them.
At the same time, he also invited the instructors who were still in the academy. This was because the mages were not necessarily like the Great Mage Juan Javier, who lived in the academy. Some of them had their own homes in Wulian City. That was why Lin Li wasn't sure how many people he could invite, and it was normal for the romantic Archmage to not be able to find him before noon.
But today, as if everyone had agreed beforehand, everyone was present. Even the Great Mage, who could not be seen until noon and had changed his class time to the afternoon, and his two apprentices, appeared in the crowd.
The location was in front of the large podium used for lectures. The sorcerers and other instructors stood sparsely and gathered in their own small groups. The apprentices, on the other hand, were arranged in three rectangular squares and neatly in front of the podium.
Because Lin Yi was the person involved, after introducing the group of people beside him, he did not say anything else and retreated. The only Great Mage present was a guest, so it was not convenient for him to speak. Perhaps he did not understand the cause and effect of the matter. So in the end, the person who spoke was a supervisor. He was the one who spoke softly before, but in reality, there was no room for negotiation.
"Students!" It seemed that this supervisor was very concerned about the big and small matters in the academy, so he knew how to use the phrase from Earth. And with his eloquence, the supervisor, one by one, stated the mistakes of the Great Mage.
To be fair, he did not add fuel to the fire and add some false accusations to himself for no reason. But in general, the accused should be given a chance to defend himself, or have an agent to defend him. However, such a segment was skipped, and they directly asked for the opinions of the people of the academy.
Lin Huang wanted to interrupt, but seeing that the other party was just stating the facts, even though it wasn't exactly objective, Lin Huang remained silent. But, the punishment, the punishment, the punishment, the punishment, the punishment, the punishment punishment, and the punishment, it, it, the punishment. After all, it was not a major violation of the rules.
But when the supervisor finished his statement and asked for the opinions of the crowd, a few of the Great Mages who were originally on Shure Ewon's side stood up and seconded. But other than those few, the Great Mages and non-Mages who were teachers did not make any moves. Lin was already mentally prepared for such a situation.
When the first person in the line of apprentices broke the rules and spoke without the permission of the Great Mage, the situation was out of control. It was as if everyone had secretly colluded to turn this into a gathering of complaints, and their words became more and more unscrupulous. But in general, the ones who made the most noise were the group of children who came from well-off families and paid the tuition fees to enter the academy.
John Goodman looked at the messy line, his face ashen. It was not clear if he was angry at the fact that the apprentices did not follow the rules and spoke noisily, or if he was angry at what they said. Juan Javier, on the other hand, had a playful expression. He rubbed his stubbled chin with one hand and observed everything.
In the end, the apprentices' uproar was stopped by the Great Mage, the first child to join the academy, Lenny, and they regained their calm. But he did not try to change the apprentices' words. Instead, he looked straight at the pale Lin and said:
"Sir Tripwood, I'm very grateful that you've given us a place to learn magic. But from the first day, you did not treat us as human beings. Everything you did was to force us to leave, instead of giving us a good learning environment. No matter how much we did, no matter how well we did, we could not get a word of praise. We even had to become slaves of the academy for two years after we finished our studies. We are human beings, not pigs, dogs, beasts, and even less inferior people who should be beaten and scolded. We are Great Mages, or people who can become Great Mages in the future. Although Instructor Goodman did the same thing, I could feel the instructor's care and concern when it came to the details. But I've never had such a feeling from you before. We have also learned a lot from your teachings in the past year. But recently, not only did you have nothing to teach us, you also neglected many things in the academy. I think you are no longer fit to hold a position in the academy. Perhaps you should leave and give the job to someone more capable. Only then can you ensure that the academy established by President Orange Eaton can continue to develop well. "
The words of the oldest child who had been in the academy for the longest time left Lin speechless. Many of his good intentions had been misinterpreted, many of his ideas had been misunderstood. Any rebuttal at this time was pale and powerless.
In the end, Lenny turned to look at the apprentices and said: "Those who have the same thoughts as me, please raise your hand to support this!"
Looking at the tall and straight figures of the children standing like pine trees, their raised right hands perfectly aligned with their bodies, they were so valiant and high-spirited. But Lin's heart was cold, the kind that fell to the bottom of the valley.
Shor Ewon's loyal lackey leaned close to Lin's back and said in his ear: "I think it's obvious. Instead of counting how many people raised their hands, it's faster to count how many didn't raise their hands. So, Sir Tripwood, do you still want to confirm whether or not they passed the threshold in your rules? "
Lin, who was weak all over, looked back at the man and said weakly: "I know. I'll go pack up and leave. "
The man with the insolent smile stretched out his right hand and said: "No need. Those things are the property of the academy. Just hand over the key to the dean's office and you can leave. "
At the same time, a few inspectors fanned out, faintly blocking Lin's way back to the academy building. The person standing in front of him stretched out his right hand even further, looking like he wouldn't give up until he got his hands on the things.
Resist? As soon as the thought popped up in Lin's mind, he extinguished it. Looking at the inspectors standing in front of him, as long as he didn't cooperate, it would give them an excuse to arrest him. Once he fell into their hands, it would be impossible for him to escape unscathed.
Sighing helplessly to the sky, Lin handed over the key to the dean's office and the door of the academy building in his pocket and turned to leave. The cheers of the apprentices behind him were so ear-piercing that it made him want to run away. But in the end, he just left the academy, which he had invested so much effort in, in a dishonorable way, step by step, without looking back.
Standing in the crowd, those who didn't raise their hands or cheer looked at the people next to them in fear.
But in the midst of a group of indifferent onlookers or jubilant Mages and magic apprentices, the only Warrior caught up with the leaving person. "Sir Tripwood, please wait."
He didn't stop, nor did he dare to look back. Lin just tilted his head slightly and responded politely: "Mr. Goodman, you should stop and not follow me. It's better for you. "
"But what about you, sir? Is this really okay? "
Lin slowed down and let John Goodman come to his side. He said, "I told those children what to hate, as a motivation to push them. It seemed to be working well. But I forgot to tell them what to love. There was no central idea, no ambitious goal to work for, and only tempted them with benefits. This is my fault. If possible, please stay and help them, Mr. Goodman. Those children need you, and I hope you can make up for my mistakes. It's a pity that I can't do it myself. I can only selfishly ask you here, please don't give up on my hard work. Maybe it hasn't been long, but I've been serious here. Please. "
He shook the old Warrior's hand heavily and patted it. After motioning for him to stay, Lin left alone.
Back home in the neighborhood. The two girls didn't eat much, but it was close to the opening time in the afternoon, so they forced themselves to be alert, packed up, and prepared to drive to the café on campus. But they were still quite surprised that their teacher had returned home early. However, when they saw a certain someone's pale face and pale lips, they knew that something was wrong.
Looking at the two girls in front of him, Lin smiled sadly and said, "There's no need to go to the academy, there's no need to go in the future, it has nothing to do with us anymore."
After losing control of the academy, Lin had recouped all his investment in the early stages. But he had left a lot of things in the academy, not to mention all the belongings of the café belonged to him. Marco Lin didn't think that the two girls could move even a cup back to the café.
When he first entered the Tower of the Great Sage, he made the mistake of sending his own apprentices deep into the enemy's ranks. This time, he would save it. Lin threw himself on the bed in his room in the attic. How long had it been since he had a good afternoon nap? He would indulge himself today.
