In the Vice Principal's office, several faculty members had taken their seats, a heated discussion on the topic of "Sentinel infiltrates Guide dormitory" on the verge of breaking out.
…
"Temporarily adding her to the trial candidate list? Unbelievable! She's morally compromised, and you're still protecting her?!"
Milo, the lively and cheerful teacher in front of students, now transformed into a fiery older sister in this room. She crossed her arms and scoffed coldly, her muscle lines taut and defined. "Tang Weiming, are you blind? There's obviously more to the story. Vivienne Cross had just revealed her SS-level mental strength—do you think she'd mess up this soon? And to trespass into Westley Roland's dorm, of all places? A commoner like her dares to enter the Roland family's residence?"
From the other side, Sherry spoke softly, "She's backed by Major General Iris. That proves she has the ability to pull off something like sneaking into a Guide dorm."
"But she has no motive! An SS-level student with a bright future—she'd be snatched up by the military the moment she graduates."
"Motive? If she manages to seduce Westley Roland and form a bond with him, wouldn't she rise through the ranks in one leap?" Tang Weiming retorted tirelessly to the blonde teacher. He touched the diamond watch on his wrist and said meaningfully, "Ms. Milo, I understand your desire to produce an outstanding graduate…"
"But talent doesn't equal character. Let that be known."
Milo flared up. "Mr. Tang, please don't project your own ideas onto others. Maybe you'd try underhanded means if you had her talent, but I believe most students have common sense."
"Milo, you—!"
"Enough! Stop arguing. Ms. Milo, personal attacks are unnecessary." Vice Principal Xu Chuan, dressed in a proper suit, tapped his desk and quieted the room. "You're all military school teachers, not children bickering."
"As for whether she can be a candidate for the Seven Schools Trial, I'll discuss it with Principal Tong when she returns from her meeting."
Tang Weiming sensed trouble in his tone and pressed on, "Regardless, a Sentinel entering the Guide dorm is an undeniable violation."
Milo rolled her eyes and was about to speak again—
"A Sentinel with an F-level physical constitution managing to slip into the Guide dorm building unnoticed, without triggering any alarms or surveillance? What's the security system doing?" Vice Principal Xu Chuan concluded firmly, "That's enough."
"As for who's behind the scheme, the school will investigate thoroughly. We won't tolerate any hidden manipulators."
"Regardless, right now the strongest mental strength Sentinels in school are Vivienne Cross, Nathan Pennington, and Amanda."
"Bad news spreads fast. It's a good thing word hasn't gotten out yet."
Milo's expression finally relaxed.
"Seal the information."
"First, protect Vivienne Cross."
"You're protecting a Sentinel who broke school rules and barged into a Guide dorm?" Westley asked incredulously, then said expressionlessly, "Professor, please reconsider before giving me your final answer."
"Westley, we understand how you feel. But this student's case is complicated—the school can't rush to conclusions…"
Complicated?
The platinum-haired youth pressed his lips together. "Tell me her name."
"This… please calm down, Westley…"
"I am calm." Westley raised his gaze, his gold-green eyes icy cold. "I hope you understand—I'm not only a student, I'm also a noble."
"If the military academy insists on shielding this individual, I won't hesitate to invoke noble rights to ensure she receives the punishment she deserves."
