Chapter 82's central theme revolves around bullying...
Su Li read aloud the words that floated in front of her. She got so engrossed in reading that she ran to the door before realizing what her grandmother had asked her to read.
I'm not guilty, but I do feel a little embarrassed.
Don't be a coward, just go for it!
Su Li swallowed hard, still feeling a little nervous, but seeing her grandmother encouraging her, she felt confident again.
She didn't say anything, just stood at the door glaring at Bian Shize. If he dared to make a move, she would continue shouting.
Bian Shize looked at Su Li, who had been acting strangely these past two days, and his face turned ashen. He figured this must be another new scheme Su Li had come up with.
Ning Ruoxi's expression was also not good. Of course, she knew about Su Li and Bian Shize's affair.
She used to feel a little smug when people around her bragged about how much Bian Shize doted on her.
But after Su Li said that, something did seem a bit off. Bian Shize was very special to her, but even more so to Su Li. Bian Shize was indeed targeting Su Li in every way, but she still knew an old saying: where there is love, there can be hate.
Bian Shize's constant targeting of Su Li might stem from a love turned to hate, which is why he targets her at every turn.
Thinking of this, Ning Ruoxi looked at Bian Shize. The deeper the hatred, the deeper the love.
His frequent targeting of Su Li is probably because he also loves Su Li very deeply.
Thinking about this made Ning Ruoxi feel even more uncomfortable.
Bian Shize glared at Su Li, but Su Li was not afraid of his gaze at all, and even glared back. If he dared to take a step forward, Su Li would really shout.
The other students in the classroom exchanged bewildered glances and whispered among themselves, "My God, has Su Li gone mad?"
"I don't know, but she's not quite right in the head. She hit Teacher Bian yesterday, and she still dares to act like this today."
"Not only that, Su Li used to always huddle in a corner when riding the school bus, but today she actually dared to argue with people who mocked her, saying things like 'Those with nothing to lose aren't afraid of those with shoes,' and 'We'd rather die together,' etc."
"What's wrong with Su Li? What triggered her?"
"Shut up, all of you!" Bian Shize couldn't stand the chatter of his classmates any longer.
If you can't control Su Li, you can't control these students in the class either.
Yesterday's public slap not only made him lose face, it was practically like trampling his face on the ground.
I don't know where Su Li got such strength. Although I've tried to reduce the swelling in her cheeks, they still hurt a little when I touch them.
But since Su Li has already said such things, if he abandons his students and leaves, he might really end up doing what Su Li said and deliberately targeting her.
But if I stayed to continue the class, I felt that I was at a disadvantage compared to Su Li.
Regardless of the reason, Bian Shize felt very frustrated.
Ning Ruoxi still cared about Bian Shize after all, and gave her lackey a wink.
"Su Li, if you're not going to class, then get out. Don't disturb our class."
Su Li stood at the classroom door, looked at the student who had spoken, then at the words that were floating in front of her, and scoffed.
"Oh, oh, oh, a lackey is a lackey after all. He knows what to do with just a glance from his master?"
The classmate, his face flushed red with anger, retorted, "You're talking nonsense! Who's the lackey?"
"You, you, you, it's you. Don't you find it ridiculous? You think I delayed your class? Don't you know what kind of teacher Bian is? You just stood there rambling on and on, and then asked if the students understood. All the other students raised their hands and said they didn't understand. Teacher Bian is like he's blind."
This resonated with some students. Even though Teacher Bian had asked them to raise their hands if they didn't understand, and they had raised their hands, Teacher Bian still didn't help them solve the problem.
Even if the answer is given, they simply stand on the podium and repeat the question without asking if the students understood.
Su Li clicked her tongue, "But Ning Ruoxi is different. If she has any questions, Teacher Bian will not only come to her side and patiently answer them, but also ask her if she understands. Classmates, do you get this treatment?"
Ning Ruoxi's lackey seemed to have discovered something and quickly said, "How can that be the same? Teacher Bian and Ruoxi are engaged, so it's only natural for them to be intimate."
"You really are a dog. This is a classroom, not their home. As a teacher, you ignore the other students and openly flirt with your own students in the classroom. Should we bring a bed into the classroom and have everyone watch them roll around on it?"
Ning Ruoxi's face flushed red. "Su Li, you're shameless! You're talking nonsense!"
"Whether you're lying or not, you know it in your heart, Ning Ruoxi. Don't you enjoy the special treatment Teacher Bian gives you?"
Bian Shize noticed the strange looks he was getting from the other students in the classroom and knew he couldn't let Su Li continue. He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said, "Sit back down, everyone, let's start class!"
Thinking of Su Li's accusations, Bian Shize was filled with indignation. He deliberately taught the class very quickly. Su Li was a transfer student with a very poor foundation and could not keep up with Bian Shize's pace at all.
But she wasn't worried at all, because her grandmother was there.
Moreover, she had just pointed out the problems with Bian Shize's lectures, and he was still doing this on purpose; several students had already shown their dissatisfaction.
After finishing the lesson, Bian Shize asked, "Is there anything you don't understand?"
A student hesitated and raised his hand. Bian Shize walked over to that student and patiently explained it to him.
During the lecture, Bian Shize looked up at Su Li with a smug expression.
Seeing his gaze, Su Li felt as if something inside her was breaking.
Her family used to be a prominent family in interstellar society, so her education was naturally quite good. She's not stupid. Does a teacher who is controlled by her own emotions really deserve to be a teacher?
At this moment, she did not see Dian Yue's figure in Bian Shize.
Dian Yue would not show such a smug expression.
They only look alike, but their actions, speech, and expressions are not similar at all.
Su Li looked at the textbook without saying a word, but gave a mocking smile. How could she possibly consider such trash as a substitute for Dian Yue?
This is utterly insulting to Dian Yue.
He was such a good person.
Inside the space, Xiang Bei asked with some confusion, "System, why do students still need to use textbooks to study even though we're in interstellar space?"
The teaching technology in interstellar space should be more advanced. Looking at the students holding their textbooks in the classroom, Xiang Bei felt like she had returned to the classroom.
"That's how it's set up in the original story, and all the smaller worlds that are derived from it are based on that original setting."
Xiang Bei didn't dwell on the topic anymore. She had originally planned to record Bian Shize's class so that Su Li could listen to it again, but the system belittled Bian Shize's class as worthless.
They said his lectures were so useless, it was an insult to the word "interstellar".
Moreover, the technology was extremely outdated, and it didn't feel like interstellar space at all.
Xiang Bei could understand what the system was saying. It even explained things in more detail than Bian Shize. Xiang Bei felt that she hadn't made a mistake in choosing the system as her teacher, so she gave up recording the lesson and told the system to prepare to become Su Li's teacher.
The system even found basic mecha manufacturing textbooks for Su Li so she could study them properly from scratch.
Su Li joined the class halfway through, and she missed many courses.
In particular, the male lead's actions are not only directed at the female lead, Su Li; he often disregards the lives of other classmates for his own selfish reasons.
Just like now, Bian Shize explained it to that classmate three times, but the classmate still didn't understand.
Instead of reflecting on his teaching methods, he thought the student was stupid for not understanding such a simple question.
Some students whispered suggestions, hoping that the teacher could slow down the pace of the lecture and explain some parts in more detail.
But Bian Shize only glanced at Su Li and saw that she was lost in thought, so he couldn't help but chuckle.
But he didn't mention her again, lest she try to get his attention and cause trouble. "You've already wasted a lot of class time. If we don't finish this lesson, how will we teach the later lessons? Some students shouldn't drag others down because of themselves."
Ning Ruoxi chimed in, "I think the teacher's lessons are very good. If you can't keep up, you should consider the reasons within yourself."
Many of the students who were initially upset that Su Li's madness was disrupting their classes are now dissatisfied with Bian Shize and Ning Ruoxi.
A teacher who retaliates against a student in class is already showing signs of being petty and narrow-minded.
Moreover, when they asked questions earlier, Teacher Bian ignored them. Ning Ruoxi didn't even ask any questions, and Teacher Bian even took the initiative to ask Ning Ruoxi if she had any questions she didn't understand.
Ning Ruoxi was still making sarcastic remarks from the side. Even if she didn't understand, as Teacher Bian's fiancée, she could still tutor him privately.
I used to think Su Li was annoying, but now Su Li has spoken their minds.
It was clearly Teacher Bian who did it on purpose.
It's not that one student doesn't understand; most students in the class don't understand. In this situation, shouldn't Teacher Bian reflect on his teaching methods?
After the class ended, watching Ning Ruoxi leave with the teacher, the classmates who usually played together gathered together and complained in hushed tones.
Su Li didn't listen to a word; her grandmother sent her long text messages.
It seems to be an introductory course for junior mecha builder.
Looking at those words gave her some clues.
Grandma also said that she had prepared books for her and hired a very skilled mecha instructor who would teach her when she returned home.
This made Su Li breathe a huge sigh of relief.
She already had a weak foundation, and she mustered up the courage to ask Bian Shize a few questions, but he just looked at Su Li's textbook and sneered, then glanced at her casually, "You still have to ask such a simple question, Su Li? If your IQ is this low, you might as well drop out of school. Don't drag everyone down in the preparatory class."
After several sarcastic remarks, Su Li became increasingly discouraged and dared not ask the teacher any more questions.
He couldn't understand the lessons in class and never passed his coursework.
She felt worthless.
Su Li was staring blankly at her textbook when a classmate came over and said, "Su Li, Teacher Bian wants to see you in his office."
This was quite unusual; it was the first time Bian Shize had ever taken the initiative to call her to his office.
In normal circumstances, teachers would contact the student directly via their personal computers. Su Li didn't even have the cheapest personal computer, so if she was called to the office, another student would have to make the trip.
Su Li closed her textbook, got up, and went to her office.
A crowd of onlookers had gathered outside the office, and someone shouted, "Su Li is here!"
Everyone quickly made way for Su Li to pass.
There were many people in the office, and Ning Ruoxi sat next to Bian Shize.
Several people were standing nearby, including some of the people who had mocked Su Li when she was on the school bus.
The chubby boy gave her a smug look, while the girl who had been rebuked didn't say anything. She just glanced at Su Li and then lowered her head.
"Su Li, how dare you come here? Kneel down!" Bian Shize said angrily.
"Alright, Aze, don't be angry anymore," Ning Ruoxi gently advised from the side.
Xiang Bei slowly uttered a question mark.
"Why do these male protagonists like making people kneel down so much? And wasn't it him who had the students call Su Li over? Is he out of his mind?"
"That's how it is in angst novels. Maybe the male lead says it to sound more imposing," the system comforted him.
Su Li didn't move, but just looked up at Bian Shize.
"Teacher, are you sick? Do you need to get your brain treated?" Su Li asked.
When Su Li asked him that question, Bian Shize thought of what had happened in class, but when he saw the classmates standing there, he felt much more confident.
This time it was definitely Su Li's fault. People have come to complain, so Su Li can't escape punishment this time.
"Su Li, you provoked your classmates and got into a fight on the school bus, which violated the college's rules. I am now expelling you in the name of your class teacher. You can pack your things and leave."
Su Li looked up at Bian Shize, her expression somewhat dazed.
Bian Shize smirked as he looked at Su Li, a hint of satisfaction on his face, "You know what's what..."
Before she could finish speaking, Su Li glanced at the words floating in front of her, then turned and ran away.
She ran all the way to the vice principal's office, and without saying a word, just stood there, looking at the vice principal with teary eyes.
The vice principal was having a video call with someone using his personal terminal when he turned his head and was startled to see Su Li standing there with red eyes.
The vice principal knew Su Li, after all, she was someone who had been put in there through connections; otherwise, given Su Li's own qualifications, she wouldn't even have been accepted into the school.
"Su... Su Li, is that right? Is there something you need?" The vice principal said a few words to the other end of the line and then quickly shut down the personal terminal.
"Vice Principal, can our school rules be altered by teachers at will?"
"Of course not."
"If I make a mistake, will I be expelled?"
The vice principal paused for a moment, and the man only said that he owed Su Li's grandmother a favor, and that sending Su Li to the school had already repaid that favor. If Su Li made any mistakes at school, he told them to deal with it according to the school rules, without having to consider the other party's feelings.
So the vice principal considered it for a moment and nodded, "Of course, we treat all students equally. If you make a serious mistake, you will indeed be expelled."
"If I say I bullied someone, will you expel me immediately, Vice Principal?"
"Of course we won't expel you directly, Su Li. Even if you admit to bullying others, we still need to find evidence to prove it."
Finding evidence before expelling the student ensures the military academy has a valid reason and can convince the expelled student.
The vice principal still didn't understand why Su Li had pulled this stunt.
As for Su Li's claim of bullying classmates, the vice principal was somewhat skeptical; it was already a miracle that Su Li wasn't being bullied herself.
"Then, Vice Principal, can a teacher expel a student without verifying their information?"
"Su Li, what exactly do you want to say?" The vice principal felt that Su Li must have something to say to him.
The central theme all revolves around the topic of bullying classmates.
So Su Li was bullied by other students and wants the school to expel the students who bullied her?
"Vice Principal, please answer my question as a student, in your capacity as vice principal."
"Of course not, how can a teacher expel a student so easily?" The vice principal was already getting impatient.
"So that means neither teachers nor students can arbitrarily determine the truth of a matter without verification, right?"
"certainly."
"What if someone did that?"
"That violates school rules and should be dealt with according to the school rules."
"Thank you, Vice Principal, I understand." Su Li pressed the recorder button in her hand.
This is what my grandmother just gave her.
Su Li was afraid she couldn't protect the recording pen, so after recording the audio, she gave it to her grandmother.
She stood at attention in front of the vice principal's office and loudly proclaimed, "Reporting to the vice principal, I want to report Mr. Bian Shize, the teacher of the third class of the mecha training program. He is biased towards his fiancée, Ning Ruoxi, in class, ignoring other students who ask questions, and openly showing affection to his fiancée in the classroom. He has also repeatedly targeted me in class, and some students have falsely accused me. Mr. Bian wants to expel me without verifying the facts. I request the vice principal to investigate the truth and deal with Mr. Bian Shize according to school rules."
The group that rushed over happened to hear Su Li's words. Bian Shize looked at Su Li's back and gritted his teeth, saying, "Su Li!"
When the vice principal saw a large group of students and teachers suddenly arrive, he couldn't sit still any longer.
As he approached, Su Li could still hear his voice.
"So that means neither teachers nor students can arbitrarily determine the truth of a matter without verification, right?"
"certainly."
"What if someone did that?"
"That violates school rules and should be dealt with according to the school rules."
The vice principal's face darkened. No wonder Su Li had been rambling on like that; it turned out she was waiting for this.
However, the vice principal did not get angry. After all, Su Li was sent in through someone else's connections. If Su Li made a mistake and was expelled, he would not be afraid of that person. But if Su Li was falsely accused and expelled, it would be difficult to explain if the other party found out.
Although the other party might not care about such a trivial matter, the vice principal couldn't be sure that they definitely wouldn't.
"Explain what exactly happened to me clearly."
The vice principal glanced at the group of people and said, "Dianyu, you speak."
Dianyu, whose name was called, told the vice principal what had just happened in the office, including Bian Shize's words "Kneel down for me," and even emphasized them.
Bian Shize's face darkened upon hearing this.
However, Dian Yu's gaze towards Su Li was also quite subtle.
Many people have probably forgotten that Dianyu's older brother, Dianyue, was engaged to Suli. Their engagement was arranged by Dianyu's grandmother and Suli's grandmother.
Later, Dian Yue sacrificed himself on the battlefield, and Su Li turned around and chased after Bian Shize, who looked exactly like Dian Yue.
Dianyu looked at Bian Shize, who looked exactly like his brother, and felt extremely unhappy. No matter how good his brother was, he was not as disgusting as this person.
Now Dianyu's gaze was fixed on her, his ambiguous smile seeming to say, "See? Look at the kind of person you chose back then."
Su Li looked at Dian Yu with no expression on her face, and simply said, "Thank you for telling the truth, teacher."
Dianyu laughed, "Why thank me? I just told the vice principal what I heard."
The vice principal then asked the other students and got a general idea of what was going on.
They then checked the footage from the train, which clearly recorded the sounds and actions. It was that group of people who provoked them first, and it was also the chubby boy who pushed Su Li first.
Although Su Li had her back to the chubby boy, it was clear from the scene that the chubby boy deliberately walked over and pushed her.
More than once, old videos were brought up, and whenever the chubby boy saw Su Li, he would deliberately push her.
