Layton was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Ethan astonished, "But... but the students in that class are the most difficult ones to manage!"
Ethan's voice grew serious. "In this world, there are no failing students, only failing education. Their parents spoiled them too much, making them unruly, but as teachers, it's our responsibility to help them!"
Ethan said firmly, "Remember! Every student we give up on could bring danger to society potentially in the future! We must do our best!"
Layton and the others nodded respectfully, "Yes, sir!"
Ethan smiled and nodded, "Alright, it's getting late. I should go and meet the students now!"
Ethan left the office and headed toward the teaching building following Layton's directions.
It was quiet inside the teaching building. As Ethan walked along, the sounds of teachers lecturing and students reciting drifted by.
But as Ethan reached Zared's classroom, a noisy commotion came from inside!
He entered the classroom and saw snacks covering the desks, garbage littering the floor. Students were playing with their phones, chatting, smoking, and even holding alcohol, with no semblance of a classroom atmosphere.
One student said, "Zared, everything is set. As soon as that guy leaves the Eastern Academy, we'll beat him up!"
Sitting in his chair with his feet propped up on the desk, Zared sneered, "Tell Stan, only beating him up is too lenient! I want his hands!"
The male student nodded, "No problem! I'll make the call now. Based on the timing, he should have already been kicked out of school and Stan might have..."
At that moment, the door was open, and under everyone's gaze, Ethan walked towards the podium.
Zared's eyes narrowed, staring intently at the figure on the podium, filled with hostility. "It's him! He's the one who hurt me!"
The students cracked their knuckles, "Bastard! How dare he come here?"
"Mr. Wilkins, please sit down. We'll handle this. Even if each of us spits once, we could drown him!"
Zared raised his hand, "Wait a moment!" Though arrogant and uneducated, Zared wasn't stupid. In fact, he was very smart and could weigh the situation well!
Ethan should have been expelled by Yeziel now.
But not only had him not left, but he had also come to this classroom coincidentally, which meant Yeziel had failed!
For the vice principal of the Eastern Academy to fail at expelling Ethan, there could only be one reason! Ethan had some serious background!
Thinking of this, Zared whispered, "Wait! Let's see what he wants to do first."
Under everyone's gaze, Ethan ignored the garbage on the podium and smiled, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Ethan Lee! From now on, I'll be your new teacher."
After a brief silence, the class erupted!
"What did he just say? He dares to teach us?"
"Heh... Here's another ignorant i***t! Now we can have some fun!"
Zared and his classmates either came from wealthy merchant families or had political backgrounds, which made them extremely arrogant and unrestrained!
For them, sitting quietly in the classroom was a great concession to the school.
A burly student walked directly to the podium. Though only eighteen, he was a head taller than Ethan!
Ellison Mitchell looked down at Ethan, showing off his muscles, and said disdainfully, "You must be new here. Since you don't know the rules, I'll give you a chance! Crawl out of here, and we'll pretend you were never here!"
Hearing Ellison's insults, Ethan's smile did not falter at all. "Is this how you talk to your teacher?"
Ellison sneered, "Teacher?! A teacher's job is to provide us with daily amusement! Cut the crap and crawl! If you want me to help you with that, it won't be that comfortable!"
All the students burst into laughter, clearly enjoying the spectacle.
"Look! This new guy is in for a bad time!"
"Ellison is the best fighter in our class. If he makes a move, how long do you think this new teacher can last?"
"I bet a hundred bucks, no more than three seconds!"
Finally, Ethan's face showed a trace of disappointment. "It seems you need to relearn how to respect your teachers!"
Ellison erupted in anger and reached out his thick arm, aiming to choke Ethan.
Ethan's eyes turned cold. He grabbed Ellison's hand and squeezed it effortlessly.
"Ah!" Ellison screamed as a sharp pain shot through his body, tears streaming down his face.
The sudden scene left everyone in shock!
But Zared, who witnessed everything, was not surprised at all. Instead, he looked at the screaming Ellison with a hint of disdainful pleasure.
'He is such an i***t! If this guy were so easy to deal with, would I have been forced to apologize to him?'
Ellison cried out, "Let go! Let me go!"
Ethan smiled at Ellison, "Do you know what you did wrong?"
Ellison cursed and cried, "You bastard! Do you know who my dad is? I'll have your whole family killed in no time!"
Ethan shook his head lightly, "Looks like I was too gentle with you."
With that, Ethan's gaze turned icy. He kicked Ellison, sending him flying, knocking over several desks, and slamming into the wall!
Ellison lay on the ground, curling up in pain, his miserable appearance leaving everyone stunned!
'How dare he hit students? Doesn't he know that each of them comes from a very prominent family?'
Ethan walked back to the podium and looked at the diverse expressions of the students as if he had done something trivial. "Now, can I stay here?"
After a long silence, a bold voice came out, "You... You say you're a teacher, don't you know hitting students is against the law?"
Ethan's lips curled into a devilish smile, "Did I hit a student? Can anyone prove I did it?"
