Chapter 29

Ding!

The elevator opened, and a group of people walked out. Teacher Dao and his two companions were surrounded at the front, but their expressions were somewhat unusual.

Adjusting the circular device on his wrist, scenes of information flashed before his eyes. Teacher Dao's smile gradually faded as he was reviewing the information on C-class martial arts instructor Carter.

Teacher Dao paused for a moment and said, "Why is there a [Teacher Protection Measure] with a delayed enforcement in your school's final exam this time?"

Wang Sen's steps faltered. He was well aware of his comrade's character. The sudden change in tone and formal language indicated that something was amiss.

Only Rodney and the three exam supervisors had access to the exam information. Wang Sen gave Rodney a meaningful look, and the latter immediately understood, quickly retrieving the relevant information and reporting it.

"[Teacher Protection Measure]? Object: Sun Yan, Opponent: Carter, Status: Delayed Execution."

After hearing this information, Wang Sen's thick brows furrowed. Others might not know the relationship between Carter and Teacher Dao, but he was fully aware.

During a breakout operation, Teacher Dao's life was saved by a squad of security personnel, and Carter was one of them. Although he was one of the few survivors from that squad, Carter lost his left hand and his strength was greatly reduced, his martial arts cultivation stagnating at the Eighth Rank Warrior level, making it impossible for him to break through to the Ninth Rank Great Warrior level.

Can't those Qian family bastards just leave things alone? They always cause trouble for me. Wang Sen cursed inwardly. Having served as the vice-principal of South Eagle Academy for many years, he saw through the situation at a glance. It was clear that the student Sun Yan had offended a Qian family member, leading to this retaliation.

As for Instructor Carter's opposition, Wang Sen felt powerless. How could the soldiers trained by Old Dao all be so stubborn, not at all like him? They were so rigid and serious, always insisting on the truth. This kind of personality might work in the military, but in civilian life, it would definitely lead to trouble.

The key was that he only found out about this now. Otherwise, he would have taken corrective action long ago.

Wang Sen cursed inwardly, pondered for a moment, and then turned to say, "Director Qian, please explain the details of the matter."

"Of course, Principal Wang." Qian Juren stepped forward and recounted the entire incident in detail.

Of course, the version of events from Qian Juren's mouth was entirely different. The sanctioned student, Sun Yan, was described as having minor flaws like skipping classes, sleeping, and watching adult movies during martial arts classes, which were not worth mentioning.

Molesting girls, fighting, bullying the weak, and extortion were his daily routines, making him a parasite of the school and a scum of society, a pile of dog shit that should be dumped on a garbage planet.

Qian Juren smiled respectfully and said, "Teacher Dao can review Sun Yan's past records; they are very detailed."

The information in the candidate's records had been completely altered half a month ago. This was not the first time Qian Juren had done this, and it was flawless, with no trace of tampering.

Qian Juren continued, "Originally, with Sun Yan's past misconduct, there was no need to activate the [Teacher Protection Measure]. However, half a month ago, he openly defied his homeroom teacher in class, severely violating the teacher's dignity. This caused a public outrage among all the substitute teachers of Class C-69, who jointly applied to me to activate the [Teacher Protection Measure] for sanctions."

As he spoke, Qian Juren wore a bitter smile, "During the meeting, we waited for Instructor Carter for an hour. It was supposed to be a straightforward matter. Who knew that Instructor Carter would cast an opposing vote at the end."

In other words, during the meeting, Carter not only arrived an hour late but also cast a crucial opposing vote without any basis, protecting a vicious student.

While listening to Qian Juren's account, Teacher Dao carefully reviewed Sun Yan's records, shaking his head helplessly. He knew his subordinate all too well.

In Teacher Dao's mind, it was clear that at the end of the meeting, Sun Yan's past misconduct did not meet the criteria for the [Teacher Protection Measure]. Then, Carter's stubbornness kicked in, and he cast the opposing vote.

"This damn kid, can't he be a bit more flexible?" Teacher Dao cursed inwardly.

Seeing Teacher Dao's expression fluctuate, Qian Wei smiled and said, "Of course, this matter is not really Instructor Carter's fault. He is straightforward and responsible, always a model for our C-class martial arts instructors. Since the [Teacher Protection Measure] is delayed, his information must be recorded, and the subsequent punishment will just be a formality among colleagues."

Opposing the activation of the [Teacher Protection Measure] carried severe penalties. If pursued, Carter might even be dismissed.

Teacher Dao nodded, knowing Carter's character. With this kid's temper, he might resign on his own.

For a moment, the atmosphere among the group became tense. Guo Nu glanced around and said indifferently, "Let's go to Exam Room 362 and see if we can find some good prospects."

Hearing this, Teacher Dao's eyes lit up. He looked at Guo Nu, appreciating his old partner. If Carter's students had some good prospects, it would be easier to remedy the situation.

Leading the way, Teacher Dao smiled, "Let's go to Exam Room 362. As exam supervisors, we shouldn't just wander around outside, right?"

The group naturally agreed and followed behind.

Qian Juren and Qian Wei exchanged glances, their faces flashing with smug smiles. It was a two-for-one deal, perfect. Once Teacher Dao personally witnessed Sun Yan's martial arts skills, Carter would never be able to hold his head up in front of them again.

The martial arts test exam rooms were distributed across five giant buildings, totaling 500 exam rooms.

These five giant buildings were the training grounds for the academy's instructors, A-class, and B-class students. Each building had 100 floors, and each floor could accommodate thousands of people. Normally, important meetings and elite student classes at South Eagle Academy were held here.

For the C-class students, who made up the largest base of the academy, they probably could not enter these buildings except on the day of the final martial arts test.

On the 62nd floor of one of the giant buildings, this was Exam Room 362. In the spacious indoor venue, the candidates stood in neat rows, quietly waiting for their tests to begin.

The first test was a strength test.

On the wall at the front of the hall, a large screen hung, displaying a thousand pieces of information that continuously scrolled. These were the top 1000 records in the strength test from previous final exams. Each year, these records would change significantly.

However, the top record on the screen, displayed in prominent red letters, was 3999KG. This test value had never been broken in the past.

In the monitoring room next to the hall, several staff members sat, evaluating each candidate's performance. Carter and Li Gang were among them.

The first strength test had reached the 55th candidate, and so far, no one in Exam Room 362 had broken into the top 1000 records.

"Ah, it seems there are no A-class students in our exam room, right?" a staff member said, flipping through the candidate information.

"Right! Only six are B-class students. There's not much to look forward to."

"Want to see someone break into the top 1000 in our exam room? Don't count on it."

The group murmured among themselves. Li Gang sat in the middle, carefully verifying the candidates' scores, his meticulous work attitude making him appear to be an excellent and responsible teacher.

Taking a break, Li Gang looked up at Carter, who was sitting beside him, and said warmly, "Instructor Carter, we have good luck. Shui Lianqing and Qian Li are both in this exam room. Maybe we'll have a surprise soon."

Carter's face was stern, and he glared, saying coldly, "Teacher Li, what's the deal with Sun Yan's past records?"

When entering Exam Room 362, Carter was pleasantly surprised to see Sun Yan and Shui Lianqing in the same room. However, when he reviewed Sun Yan's candidate information, the various criminal-like records were so distorted that he was almost enraged.

Li Gang was taken aback and laughed, "Instructor Carter, I don't understand what you mean. The candidate information is reviewed and approved by the academy, so there can't be any problems."

Carter's face was expressionless, and he just gave a cold laugh without saying anything more.

The door to the monitoring room suddenly opened, and Wang Sen walked in first, greeting the staff, "Thank you all for your hard work."

Seeing the vice-principal lead the way, the staff members quickly stood up to greet him. They knew that the incoming person was definitely an exam supervisor. However, in the past, exam supervisors usually inspected the A-class exam rooms and rarely came to their kind of exam room.

Seeing Teacher Dao behind Wang Sen, Carter immediately stood up from his seat and saluted, "Hello, Commander Dao!"

Teacher Dao walked straight to Carter and scolded with a smile, "You, you still can't change your military habits." He shook Carter's left hand and sighed, "How are you doing? Everything okay?"

Carter stood tall and said loudly, "Report to the commander, everything is fine."

"You, you and your stubbornness." Teacher Dao shook his head and asked, "Do you have any students in this exam room? How are they?"

Thinking of Sun Yan and Shui Lianqing, Carter smiled, "Commander, there are two very good students."

"Good." Turning to Wang Sen, Teacher Dao smiled, "Principal Wang, shall we stay here and watch for a while?"

"Ha ha, of course, of course." Wang Sen laughed and agreed.

A staff member quickly brought over chairs, and Carter sat down next to Ye Zefeng. The two had been good friends in the military, and they naturally had a lot to talk about. However, in this setting, they only exchanged a few words, not wanting to say too much.

The others stopped talking and focused on watching the candidates' tests, their expressions as if they were the ones being tested.

At this moment, the strength test in the hall had reached the 69th candidate. In the waiting line, Shui Lianqing looked at the rows of [Strength Testers] placed in the center, her palms sweating.
