Chapter 48: Intimidation

Mr. Lee and Mrs. Thompson did not offer their opinions upon hearing the words, but they agreed with Mr. Thomas in their hearts. Mr. Stiller, however, was not angry. "I can recruit her because she is certainly a graduate. With this year's entrance exams affecting the school's reputation, having Miss Reed in charge of class 22D will put your minds at ease," he assured them.

"Mr. Stiller!" Mr. Thomas objected, "I've already said that I have no hope for 22D, and I won't teach there."

After a pause, Mr. Thomas continued, "You know exactly what kind of place 22D is, better than anyone. I advise you not to ruin that young girl. She's only about nineteen years old. If she goes into 22D, it's uncertain if she will come out unscathed, and you're still counting on her to take charge? What a joke!"

Mr. Lee and Mrs. Thompson nodded, echoing in agreement, "Mr. Stiller, we know you're anxious, but this is harming the girl."

Mr. Stiller rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. They hadn't seen Tina's capabilities, so he couldn't blame them. But regardless, their involvement was necessary. Even if Tina was capable, she couldn't possibly teach all the courses in 22D alone.

Mr. Stiller turned to Tina, "Miss Reed, what do you say?"

Privately, he called her Serena, but at school, she was Miss Reed.

Tina smiled, unoffended by the teachers' words, and replied, "Let the teachers rest well for now. I'll notify you when it's time to start teaching."

Turning to the three teachers, Tina added, "Don't worry about me. I will still need your help in the future!" She was only responsible for controlling the students, not teaching the classes. Though she was capable of teaching them too!

Mr. Lee and Mrs. Thompson shook their heads slightly, feeling that once she faced the reality of 22D, she would realize how ridiculous her thoughts were today.

Yet Mr. Thomas thought it was laughable that Tina, at her young age, was talking big and expecting their help. So, he sarcastically offered, "Alright! If you can manage the students of 22D, I will give them free extra lessons after school every day."

"Thank you, Mr. Thomas," Tina responded, neither humble nor arrogant.
