Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Powerless to Help (Added for Alliance Leader 20220427161247290)

The crowd on the scene burst into enthusiastic applause upon hearing Vice Principal Fleck’s words.

Clap clap~

"That’s incredible!"

"Really amazing!"

...

One student after another offered their sincere praise.

"Thank you, everyone."

Su Ming’s expression was calm as he politely thanked the crowd.

At that moment, standing at the back of the crowd, Su Bin watched Su Ming bathed in glory, his face revealing a jealous countenance, his hands unwillingly clenched into fists.

Suddenly, the ship jolted violently, causing many of the students on the scene to stagger, with quite a few falling to the ground.

After steadying himself, Vice Principal Fleck cleared his throat and addressed everyone.

"Alright, everyone, the ship has now initiated superluminal flight. I see it’s getting late; everyone should disperse. Hurry to the cafeteria for some food, then wash up and rest."

"Okay!"

The audience responded in unison.

"Two teachers, I’ll take my leave first. I’m honored to have fought alongside you this time."

Su Ming turned and said his polite farewells to Teachers Alfam and Tang Xuan.

"Ah, okay!"

Teacher Tang Xuan sighed and replied.

Alfam nodded his head without saying much.

Su Ming then walked over to Rhein and the others, who approached to meet him as they saw him coming.

They crowded around Su Ming, peppering him with questions.

"Su Ming, why did it take you so long to chase that monster?"

"Right, was there some kind of mishap?"

...

"Let’s go to the cafeteria for food, we can talk while we eat."

Su Ming sighed and said.

"Yay!" frёewebnoѵēl.com

Rhein and the others replied excitedly.

...

Moments later, in a corner of the cafeteria in Area H.

Su Ming and many other students sat at the dining table to eat, while he briefly recounted the rescue process.

"It was really thrilling, felt like watching a movie."

Zhang Yi said, filled with emotion.

"Indeed, but Teacher Mia is really in a bad spot this time."

Rhein shook her head and replied.

"Enough of that, let’s end this conversation and focus on eating."

Su Ming sighed and told everyone.

On that cue, Zhang Yi and the others picked up their plates and moved to another spot.

Su Ming meanwhile, kept his head down and silently continued eating his dinner.

Then, the people sitting next to him, including Zhang Yi, got up with their plates to leave, and immediately a figure took a seat opposite him at the dining table.

He subconsciously looked up and saw a dispirited, despondent Mia lying in an inelegant pose on the table, revealing her impressive assets.

Su Ming coughed and said indifferently.

"Teacher, you might want to mind your image."

Mia looked at Su Ming, seeing his uncomfortable expression, she suddenly felt amused and began to tease.

"Su Ming, don’t tell me you’re still a fledgling? Surely, you’re not shy?"

Su Ming’s face darkened upon hearing Mia’s words. He couldn’t deny that her comment had hit a nerve, but he still suppressed his irritation and said.

"Teacher, can you please be serious? You’re still in the mood to tease me? Your matter of letting me substitute your class has been exposed, and Vice Principal Fleck is incredibly furious. He has already announced in front of everyone that he intends to heavily punish you. All of your bonuses for this year are gone, and even your salary has been halved."

When Mia heard about the financial penalty, she immediately slammed the table in anger and burst into a string of curses.

"That old geezer has some nerve to dock my pay, did he get kicked in the head by a donkey? What did I do wrong? It was just a substitution, who knew other classes would have problems? Besides, wasn’t the person rescued in the end? I think he’s brain-damaged, an idiot..."

Su Ming listened to Mia cursing like a madwoman, and his head ached terribly.

However, at that moment, Su Ming suddenly stiffened as he saw Vice Principal Fleck walk up behind Mia with his hands clasped behind his back, and Mia had no clue, still cursing away!

"I think he’s hit menopause, becoming senile in his old age..."

Desperately, Su Ming tried to signal Mia with his blinking, telling her to stop cursing.

But Mia had already been blinded by rage, utterly poor as she was,, and now they were deducting her money as well.

Su Ming saw Mia continuing to curse and frantically gestured with his eyes.

Mia, irritated, said to Su Ming,

"What are you blinking for, got sand in your eyes?"

Su Ming was rendered speechless and gave up completely. He buried his head in eating as if he knew nothing.

At that point, Principal Fleck could no longer bear it and shouted angrily,

"Mia!"

Mia was startled, her head snapping around stiffly, and when she saw Vice Principal Fleck standing behind her, she forced an extremely unattractive smile.

"Principal Fleck, when did you get here?"

"I’ve been here for a while. Enjoying your rant, were you? Feeling very wronged?"

Vice Principal Fleck asked furiously.

"Not at all."

Mia quickly shook her head in response.

"Bullshit you’re not wronged. Skipping classes was tolerable when you were a student, but now as a teacher, you still skip classes, you’re really something..."

Fleck’s entire face turned tomato red with rage as he spewed at Mia to vent his anger.

Mia also looked at Su Ming with a resentful gaze, muttering to herself that this little brat didn’t bother to warn her.

Su Ming just shrugged his shoulders, a helpless expression on his face.

All Mia could do was give an apologetic smile to Vice Principal Fleck and say,

"Don’t be mad, it was really an accident this time, I’ll attend to my classes properly next time, okay?"

"Attend to your classes properly, huh? Fine, but don’t say I didn’t give you a chance, starting tomorrow I’ll join your classes to personally ensure you’re there! I refuse to believe you can stir up any more trouble!"

Principal Fleck roared without a trace of his former composure.

"Don’t, Principal Fleck, you’re so busy..."

Upon hearing Fleck’s words, Mia felt completely dispirited.

"That settles it, now come with me to write a reflection!"

Vice Principal Fleck didn’t grant Teacher Mia any room to negotiate.

Mia sighed, her head hanging low in dejection, as she followed Vice Principal Fleck away.

Su Ming shook his head as he watched their retreating figures...

At night, Su Ming lay tossing and turning in bed, unable to find peace. His mind kept drifting back to the Insect Nest, to those glittering Energy Crystals.

Suddenly, Su Ming sat up and quietly left the dorm to go down the corridor.

He walked toward Mia’s dormitory area.

But when he reached the observation area, he saw Mia standing there alone, sighing and drinking.

"Teacher."

Su Ming approached her and greeted.

Mia glanced at Su Ming, her head drooping as she replied listlessly,

"Oh, it’s you."

"Teacher, what’s the matter? The punishment this time isn’t too bad, it’s just some money."

"Ah, you don’t understand, I’m already dirt poor."

"How much do you owe, Teacher?"

Su Ming asked with a slight frown.

"A lot. I could scare you to death with the amount, so better you don’t ask."

Mia replied with a sigh.

Hearing Mia respond that way, Su Ming didn’t pursue the matter. Everyone has their secrets, after all. So, he spoke up,

"Teacher, I want to talk to you about something."

"Go ahead."
