C96 – Clown

Liu Xuan’s remarks immediately sparked a wave of revulsion among everyone in Senior Year, Class Eight, including Xiang Ying Tian.

Xiang Ying Tian’s brow furrowed as his disappointment in Liu Xuan deepened.

With a grimace, Xiang Ying Tian fixed his gaze on Liu Xuan and said angrily, “Liu Xuan, watch your tone!”

“And who gave you the right to hand out nicknames to others?”

“As class president, you’re snitching on your classmates and assigning them nicknames, failing to foster any sense of unity!

Just look at yourself—what on earth are you doing!?”

Xiang Ying Tian’s questions came out in a roar.

Liu Xuan, intimidated by Xiang Ying Tian’s fury, was left stammering, unable to form a coherent response.

In that moment, Jiang Hao stepped in to reinforce the point.

Jiang Hao glanced at Liu Xuan as if he were nothing more than a performing buffoon.

“Class president, can’t you use your head for once? If I had been in a fight, do you think I’d have returned so quickly?

And if I had just been in a fight, wouldn’t there be some sign of it on me?”

With just a few sentences, Jiang Hao left Liu Xuan speechless.

As Liu Xuan met the indifferent gazes of his fellow students from Senior Year, Class 8, a wave of panic washed over him.

“It’s not like that, it’s not like that at all. How can you even suggest such a thing?”

But at that moment, not a single classmate from Senior Year, Class 8 seemed inclined to give him the time of day.

When he turned to see Ying Tian beside him, already seething with anger, Liu Xuan’s face was etched with fear and a sense of injustice.

“Teacher, please, that’s not the way it is. Let me explain!”

Ying Tian’s patience, however, had been worn thin by Liu Xuan’s repeated antics.

“Enough, there’s no need for further discussion.”

With that, Ying Tian strode to the lectern, bowed deeply to the assembled students, and continued.

“I deeply apologize. My oversight in judgment has brought inconvenience to you all, and for that, I offer my sincere apologies here and now.”

“I’m sorry.”

Turning his head, Ying Tian cast a brief glance at the bewildered Liu Xuan and announced,

“I must also make an additional announcement here today.”

“Liu Xuan will be relieved of his duties as class monitor.”

“With the college entrance exams fast approaching, we won’t hold a vote for his replacement. Instead, I am appointing Jiang Hao to temporarily take over the role of class monitor.”

“Are there any objections?”
