The homeroom teacher, completely stunned, watched the two of them leave. When she saw the principal starting to turn, she quickly rushed after him.
"Principal, please let me explain! It wasn't what it looked like just now. I can..."
"Enough!"
Seeing that the homeroom teacher had no intention of admitting her mistake and was instead making excuses, the principal's face turned ashen with fury.
He'd never imagined that Kennet First High School could have a teacher like this.
"Let me ask you, what kind of teacher calls their own student 'scum'? What kind of teacher tells a student to go die?"
"What if a student with less emotional resilience had jumped off a building because of what you said? You would be inciting suicide! That's a crime, do you understand?!"
The principal was mindful of the many students still in the classroom, so he kept his voice down. But his face was flushed crimson all the way to his neck, a clear sign of his immense anger.
