They had been playing games for a whole afternoon, enjoying a winning streak for an entire afternoon, with Daisy Zane and Olivia Lane staying on the rooftop.
They only considered going back down when there were twenty minutes left before class started.
But just as they went down less than five steps, they heard arguments coming from the ground floor.
Few people ever came to the rooftop.
Even the ground floor was already considered a relatively secluded area.
People tended to gather and hang out on the ground floor, but not many ever went up to the rooftop.
Hearing the voices, both of them stopped in their tracks and stood still.
Daisy recognized one of the voices as Skyler Thomas, while the other was a woman she had never heard before.
Olivia Lane typed a few words on her cell phone and showed it to Daisy Zane: [Skyler Thomas and Class 8 homeroom teacher]
Daisy nodded, initially wanting to go back to the rooftop, but since Olivia remained still, she did not move either.
Downstairs, the voice of the Class 8 homeroom teacher was filled with resentment: âSkyler Thomas, did you do this on purpose? You drove away all six of our students from our class. What? Do you want to get them back?â
âThey brought it upon themselves,â Skyler Thomas retorted.
âIs it because our class has good grades, and youâre envious, so you deliberately undermine our students?â said the Class 8 homeroom teacher, âThe grade topper is in our class. What? Are you going to target our classâs top student next? Youâve taught a class of losers; is it because you donât want other classes to do well?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âEvan Silas, mind your language,â Skyler Thomas said, âDo you think this is something a teacher should say?â
âWhat did I say?â Evan Silas sneered, âYouâre a good teacher, and youâre the only good teacher in the whole world. Then why canât you even get an âOutstanding Teacherâ title by the age of forty? Donât ever reflect on yourself?â
âManage yourself, and I wonât need your meddling,â Skyler Thomas replied.
âThen donât wave around in front of me,â said Evan Silas, âClass 16 is full of young ladies and young masters. Even the top few in class have to be searched from the back of the school rankings. As soon as I told the director I couldnât handle a class like this, you took over immediately. What do you mean? Are you deliberately going against me? Can you handle something I canât do?â
âArenât you overplaying your part?â Skyler Thomas said irritably, âCanât anyone else take over a class you donât want? Youâre after fame and fortune; you pursue it. Why are you keeping an eye on a class you donât want?â
âYou make yourself sound so noble. Do you dare to say that you took over Class 16 without any personal interest?â Evan Silas raised his voice, but lowered it right away, afraid that someone would hear him, âYou must have seen the power of these studentsâ parents. You defended Marsh Turner so forcefully yesterday; did you want to climb the Turner and Hobson Family ladder?â
Skyler Thomas could no longer bear it and blurted out, âDo you have some kind of problem?â
As if convinced of Skyler Thomasâs intentions, Evan Silasâs facial expression grew increasingly malicious, and there was even a hint of excitement.
This excitement seemed to suggest that he had discovered that this person was also after profit, and any pretense of nobility was false.
As if there was no real difference between them.
âWhat a pity. What can you do if you climb up them as a teacher? They will leave in a year and forget about you. Later, when they mention âSkyler Thomas,â they wonât even know who it is,â Evan Silas said.
Laughing suddenly, Evan Silas continued, âAnd when their grades arenât good, their parents will blame you. Theyâll blame your incompetence. When their grades are good, itâs because of their childrenâs hard work. When theyâre not, itâs because the teacher isnât dedicated or qualified. Theyâll only despise you. And since you donât even have a title, theyâll despise you even more, calling you rubbish, unworthy of being a teacher.â
Skyler Thomas looked at her without saying a word.
Evan Silas went on: âWhat nobility are you pretending? No one will pay attention to you. Even if you climb up the Turner and Hobson Family, so what? âOutstanding Teacherâ is based on studentsâ grades, and no one can interfere. You still wonât be anything; you wonât be anything.â
Taking a deep breath, Skyler Thomas slowly exhaled, âEvan Silas, youâre too extreme. Grades arenât the only measurement of everything.â
âBut without grades, youâre nothing,â Evan Silas said, âThis yearâs College Entrance Examâs top scholar will definitely be from our class. The âOutstanding Teacherâ award, bonus, and honor will all be mine. But you  you can only see off a batch of poor students. This is the price you pay for your false nobility. Youâll end up with nothing!â
