After thinking it over and over, although she felt conflicted—after all, she had just started her job and already couldn’t solve the problems she encountered, which made her feel kind of useless—in the end, Keti still decided to go and find Lynn.
Now that she thought about it, it was kind of funny.
The first thing she did when she ran into trouble was to go ask that guy for help.
Lynn was supposed to be her enemy, after all.
A girl’s pride was definitely taking a bit of a hit.
Hmm?
But there really wasn’t any other way.
After all, he was the only person she knew at the class=”highlighted-term” style=”color: #EF476F”>school right now.
Who else could she turn to?
Besides, it was him who brought her in here, and that guy had even said himself that if she ran into any problems, she could come find him for help!
Ahem ahem………………
Since he said it himself, then…then…maybe, from Lynn’s perspective, the two of them didn’t even look like mortal enemies.
Maybe, just maybe, he even saw her as a friend or something.
So she couldn’t be blamed for being a little rude!
Thinking this, Keti suddenly made up her mind!
Hmm……
Uh, but…how should she find Lynn?
Going straight to his office felt like tattling.
She…she really just wanted to ask for some advice from Lynn, that’s all…
B……
Maybe…she should be more polite about it and…invite him to a meal?
One day later, at night, inside a restaurant on class=”highlighted-term” style=”color: #FFA69E”>Commercial Street in the class=”highlighted-term” style=”color: #00B8A9″>class=”highlighted-term” style=”color: #00B8A9″>Imperial Capital, a silver-haired beauty and her nemesis found a table in the corner of the hall and sat down across from each other.
Lynn looked at the somewhat tense girl in front of him with great interest.
He found the whole thing rather amusing.
He hadn’t expected Keti to take the initiative to invite him to dinner.
He’d just finished dealing with things elsewhere and come to class=”highlighted-term” style=”color: #EF476F”>school, only to be cornered by the girl at the door, cheeks flushed, inviting him out.
At first, he thought the little one had finally learned some social skills and wanted to thank him for his help.
But to his surprise…as soon as Keti sat down opposite him, she was visibly awkward, and even looked a bit disappointed.
Lynn had caught some rumors over the past two days, so after a moment, he tilted his head and asked the girl: “So, class=”highlighted-term” style=”color: #FF9B85″>class=”highlighted-term” style=”color: #FF9B85″>Miss Keti, how do you feel about your first two days at work?”
“Uh…well, the feeling is, ahem…it’s actually kind of nice to get paid for nothing. I mean… ahem, that’s not what I meant!”
Keti blurted out a complaint without thinking, but quickly realized and looked at her nemesis, starting to probe awkwardly:
“Lynn, there’s something I want to ask you first. Do you remember telling me before that the class=”highlighted-term” style=”color: #EF476F”>school gives out class=”highlighted-term” style=”color: #CBAACB”>Teaching class=”highlighted-term” style=”color: #CBAACB”>Credits every week based on class management?”
“Mm…that’s right.”
“Then…the problem now is…uh, ahem……………if the class discipline is bad, does that mean…I won’t get the usual class=”highlighted-term” style=”color: #CBAACB”>Teaching class=”highlighted-term” style=”color: #CBAACB”>Credits?”
Seeing the silver-haired beauty widen her big round eyes so innocently as she asked this question, Lynn couldn’t help but find her a bit adorably clueless.
“Isn’t that obvious? Of course, it depends on just how bad the discipline is…If there are often students late for class, or if they’re always chatting during self-study, then points will definitely get deducted…………………”
“Then……………if everyone is talking during class, and the class=”highlighted-term” style=”color: #F7B32B”>teacher can’t do anything no matter how much she yells, and no one listens to her at all, and from the moment they arrive at class=”highlighted-term” style=”color: #EF476F”>school until the end of the day they’re just noisy, and the class=”highlighted-term” style=”color: #F7B32B”>teacher can only go back to her dorm and sleep, getting paid for nothing—how bad is that?”
“1”
“That counts as skipping work! No, wait…little kitty, you need to be careful. You just started, don’t slack off so casually, your salary isn’t just for nothing.”
Lynn’s mouth twitched, but he didn’t blame Keti for anything.
The silver-haired girl sniffled, then pouted in grievance.
W-wait, who are you calling little kitty!
“Don’t—don’t call me that! …I—I can’t help it. You dumped such a terrible class on me, and now I can’t even manage their discipline. Those little brats don’t listen to me at all, they just ignore me…There’s no point in me being in the classroom at all………………”
Keti, feeling wronged, spilled everything all at once.
Her eyes began to well up with tears.
After a moment, she bit her lip and sobbed: “Especially…there’s this boy named class=”highlighted-term” style=”color: #FF6F91″>Ximon, relying on his dad being the class=”highlighted-term” style=”color: #A0E426″>President of the class=”highlighted-term” style=”color: #1B9AAA”>Chamber of Commerce, and somehow he found out about my class=”highlighted-term” style=”color: #FFCB77″ >Talent Level, and he…he leads the others in provoking me!
Ugh…
I want to switch classes! Otherwise, at this rate…
I won’t get a single Teaching Credit, wuu…
*, **……”
“0, ……”
Seeing the pitiful look on the girl’s face, Lynn couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry for her…
Was this really how things were?
No wonder all the previous Substitute Teachers had quit after just a few classes, but they hadn’t described it as this bad…….
0F, ……
It was probably because Keti was just a class=”highlighted-term” style=”color: #9C528B”>class=”highlighted-term” style=”color: #9C528B”>Teaching Assistant, and a girl at that, so the students had gotten even worse?
How outrageous………………
Students these days are really getting out of hand…………..
RE…….
“As for changing classes, I’m afraid that’s impossible. I’m only in charge of that one class this year. But there’s no need to be so discouraged. As a class=”highlighted-term” style=”color: #F7B32B”>Teacher, the first lesson you need to learn is how to manage discipline.That’s normal.You have to keep them in line! Otherwise, even if you switch classes, it’ll end up the same way.”
“I…it’s not like I haven’t tried!”
Keti pouted, then kept venting her frustrations: “At first, I thought I’d deal with a few of the worst students, you know, make an example out of them, but…those guys just don’t listen to me, not even punishments like standing in the back work. Later, I sent a few students home to reflect, but…they were only too happy to leave…This kind of collective disobedience, there’s just no way to manage it. I…I really can’t do this after all, because my Gift—my Gift is just too weak, wuu—”
Watching Keti start to lose heart, Lynn felt a bit down as well.
After a moment, he reached out and gently patted the girl’s head, then softly comforted her: “It’s okay, it’s not as bad as you think, little kitty. Don’t cry, alright? Actually, if you want to solve this, it’s really simple!”
“Mm…what way?”
Keti blinked, then looked at Lynn.
She’d originally wanted him to help her intimidate the students or something, so of course she wanted to hear his advice.
But to her surprise, the next second, he suddenly grinned mischievously, then pointed at the silver-haired girl herself and said:
“For this kind of problem, there’s a very simple and direct method. You should know it well already! Back in the day, you used it on me and the other students too—why not use it now? Just catch the most unruly one and give him a good dose of corporal punishment. Once they know pain, and realize you have the ability to teach them, there won’t be a problem~”
“Huh?!”
Hearing this, Keti’s mouth twitched hard.
N-no way, what kind of weird suggestion was this guy giving?!
