Chapter 292 Part One: School's Compensation
Red City,
The following day,
The tragedy happened at Little Star Gate High School, quickly known by other nearby forces. But strangely the issue is quickly covered up by school management.
The public and other small and medium-sized families expect the intervention of the police force.
Unfortunately, they too turned blind eye to this incident.
Some media houses reported that there were no death casualties. Which made the police force not want to ask for some explanation.
Eventually, some big people knew that standing behind wizard students was a big organization.
For them, it\'s no surprise that the incident is quickly covered up. But the damage has been done already. Starting next year the enrollment of students will be reduced gradually.
It will take a few years to restore the reputation.
While the outside commotion is settled. The situation inside the school is still worse. The regular classes were held without break.
But the people from school management were handling the aftermath of the final duel.
Meeting Room,
Chairman Benjamin sat in the main seat. Seeing that, the staff sat down in their seats one by one. The headmaster Chester is present in the meeting.
Whereas Eric Wallace is conducting the lectures in Class A1. Teachers are not allowed to attend this meeting. So he wasn\'t aware of something like this going on.
Right now, Benjamin has a dark circle under his eyes. He has been dealing with his worst nightmare ever since the level-5 wizard intervenes in the duel.
Looking at everyone he asked, "What\'s the update now?"
"Is there any force demanding explanation?"
When he uttered those words. People can feel that the chairman is annoyed.
At this time, one of the management staff opened her mouth to say, "Chairman, there is some trouble except for those small families."
Hearing that some other staff echoed the same opinion.
Hearing similar feedback from the people. Benjamin\'s eyes gleamed with a twinkle. He knows that big families have a mutual understanding between them.
Especially something like this nasty had happened. No other big family in the vicinity wants to sell other forces. They have their networking.
Even he suspects cooperation between Danny Quinn and Brent Dale is something related to that.
Then he observed everyone\'s reactions before saying, "Forget about those families. They are now finding opportunities to look for resources for their descendants."
Some of the staff expressions sank. They too have the same thought in their mind. Usually, those small families are afraid of big families. So they don\'t demand any answer from the school.
But right now they got a good opportunity. The recent reports about the school are not good either. Which gave them enough courage to demand an explanation from the school.
Seeing the complex expression of people, Benjamin shook his head in disappointment. He had expected them to take care of small families.
This meeting is usually for some difficult challenges to discuss. At this time, Benjamin\'s eyes caught the expression of Chested Nixon. His eyes gleamed with interest. He understands that something is troubling the other party.
"Headmaster, do you have something on your mind?"
"Speak freely," Benjamin asked. He can understand that Chester is quite new to the teaching profession.
And he is facing such an issue in his first year of joining itself. So he doesn\'t want to be harsh on Chester. Besides, it\'s not his fault from the beginning.
He had underestimated the ambition of top-ranked students. Some of them didn\'t put school management in their eyes. After all, standing behind them is a big organization.
Even in this incident, it\'s a blessing in disguise for the school. The involvement of the police force in this issue was strictly blocked by them.
Otherwise, he would have been sitting in their cell right now. Fortunately, since last night, he stopped receiving harassing calls from them.
Thinking about it, his resentment towards those big organizations is somewhat reduced.
On the other hand, everyone shifted their attention toward the new headmaster.
Chester Nixon retracted his thoughts and said, "I\'m getting calls from reporters. Some of them haven\'t stopped pursuing this issue."
Hearing that few people sighed. Everyone knows that the new headmaster appeared in front of the news reporters. So everyone recognized him.
On top of it, he also promised to update them later.
Some of the staff have a gloating look on their faces. This is one of the downsides of being the headmaster. When there is a situation, the headmaster of the school is questioned first.
"Sigh"
Chairman Benjamin let out a small sigh. He then looked at Chester and answered, "Headmaster Chester, just put this matter aside. They will eventually stop pestering after a few days."
Chester Nixon simply nodded his head in understanding. Since the chairman is not pointing fingers at him. So he is not worried about anything else.
Chairman Benjamin made up his mind to address the pressing issue.
"Let\'s now discuss the final duel."
"The winner and loser are still undecided."
Hearing that the temperature of the room dropped down. None of them made any move. But still when the topic is mentioned. Everyone\'s mood turned gloomy.
Even Chester Nixon\'s heart set off storms. He remembered yesterday that the Dale family stated that for them to forget what happened to their young master. They demanded the result of the final duel to be a draw.
They don\'t want such an embarrassing result to be announced either. Otherwise, the incident won\'t be over just like that in a single day. But he wondered why he is mentioning it now.
Chairman Benjamin caught the questioning look of Chester. He is embarrassed that he got no other choice but to accept the request of the Dale family.
But he doesn\'t know how to compensate for the other one. The sub-taboo wizard had crushed the Dale family\'s young master completely. More than Dale\'s family he is afraid of Vincent Carey.
Now that magic power has shocked many people. In the future, he will be even more cherished by the Yellow River Academy.
Level-2 wizard ah? He was surprised by Vincent. He knows one or two things about Brent Dale. Ever since Vincent defeated Victoria Shields.
The seed of doubt rose in his heart. But after witnessing Brent Dale\'s beating. He confirmed that Vincent Carey is a Level-2 wizard.
In one year that kid has risen through the ranks to reach level 2. This speed of profession is somewhat common in the capital region. Where descendants of level-6 wizards or above usually have terrific talent.
But here in this barren city with limited resources is truly a big achievement. That\'s why he wants to please the other party in the form of compensation.
Seeing the silent expression of people Benjamin twitched. He answered calmly, "I know what you guys are thinking."
"But I\'m here to discuss the compensation."
"Compensation?" One of the staff asked.
"That\'s right," Benjamin.
"I would like to give some compensation to Vincent Carey."
"The Dale family made it clear that they don\'t want anything except the result to be not announced."
When he finished those words. Everyone quieted down. Right now everyone wants to put this matter to an end. None of them dare to discuss what is right or wrong.
Chester Nixon was displeased inside. But he knows it\'s very disadvantageous to Vincent. That brat has done something extraordinary. If the result is announced, that kid\'s popularity skyrockets.
Who knows the organization behind that kid might provide more resources. But it\'s a pity, the issue is going to die down just like that.
At this time, Chester hoped to see some experienced staff open their mouths. Finally, the guy sitting beside him asked in curiosity.
"Chairman, is that kid going to accept that easily?"
"He wanted to win this competition."
Chairman Benjamin nodded his head and answered, "That\'s why I think it\'s better to give him scholarship money directly together with some magic resources as compensation."
Gasp!
A few of the staff sucked cold breaths of air.
They looked at the chairman in disbelief. Everyone can understand the scholarship money. What about magic resources?
Is the chairman going to hollow out his pocket?
Doubt rose in everyone\'s heart. But none of them had any better suggestions. Chester Nixon also thought it was good handwriting by the Chairman.
Resources are hard to come by. Especially, the resources used by the sub-taboo wizard must be different. He wondered whether the Chairman was planning to give out some random resources.
When he saw the silent expression of everyone. He realized none of them have anything to say. Everyone is pretty much convinced. They will nod their head as long as this issue comes to an end.
He thinks that politics inside the school management was nothing less than that of his previous office.
"Sigh"
He let out a small sigh.
On the other hand, Chairman Benjamin was pleased inside. Seeing their silence, he understands everyone agrees with his proposal. So it\'s better to implement it as soon as possible.
"Alright, I take your silence as agreement."
"I will personally visit that kid\'s home to give compensation," Benjamin said in a calm tone.
Hearing that everyone nodded their head. Then they talked about plans before ending the meeting.
