In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

Accompanying Jin Fan was his junior brother, Gu Yu.

Compared to Jin Fan, Gu Yu's eyes were evasive, and he dared not look directly at Li Yuan.

It's not fear, just unease in my heart.

Gu Yu lost to Li Yuan in the competition, and he was naturally upset and dissatisfied with the result.

He even harbored resentment towards Li Yuan because of this defeat.

He acknowledged these emotions, but Gu Yu never intended for Li Yuan to die.

He lost the competition, and all he wanted to do was win it back.

Killing Li Yuan through a sneak attack only made Gu Yu despise him.

The difference in their perceptions led Gu Yu to treat Li Yuan in a completely different way than Jin Fan.

He was too ashamed to challenge Li Yuan to a duel again.

Seeing that Li Yuan didn't respond, Jin Fan smiled and continued to press for answers.

"Teacher Li Yuan... Oh, it seems I should call him Director Li Yuan now."

I wonder where Director Li Yuan plans to travel this summer?

"Maybe we'll think of this area and travel together on the way."

Seeing that Li Yuan did not respond to his words, Jin Fan became even more arrogant.

His words were clearly yet another threat.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan turned his head and gave him a quick glance.

"It seems that Teacher Jin Fan didn't qualify for the Lanwu Trial, did he?"

Even if we think alike, you probably still won't be able to go.

"It's not too late for us to travel together again when you have the chance in the future."

As soon as he said those few words, Jin Fan's face darkened instantly.

He is now not only unable to go to the Lanwu Trial, but also has been stripped of his qualification to train at Xueying Mountain.

Upon hearing about Lan Wu's trial, Jin Fan's hatred surged up again.

Before he could speak again, Li Yuan warned him in a serious tone.

"Since you call me Director, then I'll give you some reminders."

Starting next semester, I will be in charge of all teaching-related matters at Lingshan No.1 Middle School.

I'm telling you clearly, I can't tolerate your current teaching attitude.

I'm not Principal Yin or anyone like them; I have no interest in currying favor with you.

Anyone who dares to skip class without a valid reason will receive a public reprimand for the first offense and a warning for the second.

The third time he received a demerit, the fourth time he was placed on probation at school.

If you dare to do it again after four times, you'll see if I can get Lingshan No.1 Middle School to expel you and give you a D grade—you'll be kicked out!

Li Yuan didn't want to give Jin Fan that many chances either.

But that's how the rules are, and the punishment gets worse every time.

Being able to fire someone in one step gives too much power to lower-level managers.

"Fire me? You dare?"

Jin Fan was actually a little flustered inside, but he remained calm on the surface.

He asked a question in return, trying to save face for himself.

Jin Fan didn't value the teaching job itself that much.

All he wanted was to use his position as a teacher to gradually climb the ranks in the education field.

The path from secondary school teacher to university teacher begins as a lecturer, then progresses to associate professor and finally professor.

After obtaining the title of professor, Jin Fan will have access to more resources.

It can fully meet all my needs.

But if he is expelled from Lingshan No.1 Middle School, this path will be blocked.

This background of his dismissal will likely limit his opportunities in many jobs.

Furthermore, his D rating had a significant impact on his career development.

Even stepping onto the border front lines can affect the relevant ratings.

A rating of D is not just a matter of ability, but also a matter of attitude.

How can someone with a poor work ethic serve as a leader on the front lines?

Even among ordinary teammates, no one wants someone with an attitude problem.

"Jin Fan, if you're still like this next semester, you'll see if I dare to expel you."

Do you really think that I, as the director, have no power?

Li Yuan spoke confidently and without any sense of threat.

In fact, Jin Fan really couldn't accept this punishment.

He either has to resign voluntarily or stay under Li Yuan's thumb.

But he was reluctant to leave the job.

He has been at Lingshan No.1 Middle School for over a year, participating in various competitions and seminars, and has earned a lot of GPA points.

In two years at most, he will be able to find a way, pull some strings, and get a job teaching at a university.

Leaving a job and starting over?

"If you dare to do this, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Jin Fan forced himself to stay calm and uttered another threatening remark.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan couldn't help but smile: "Haven't we already reached that stage a long time ago?"

The rhetorical question surprised even Jin Fan himself.

Yes, the two are now mortal enemies, each determined to fight to the death.

Are you afraid he'll go too far?

That night, Jin Fan already wanted to kill Li Yuan.

Having come this far, are you still afraid of offending him?

Watching Li Yuan turn and leave, Jin Fan's face was gloomy, but he couldn't utter a single word.

His threats were ineffective against Li Yuan.

Li Yuan not only dared to make things difficult for him, but also wanted him dead and took his life.

At the same time, Jin Fan's killing intent intensified.

He is now beginning to regret it, regretting why he didn't let Li Yuan die that day.

If Li Yuan were to become his direct superior, he would have a very difficult time.

After much thought, I must find a way to take action, if possible.

But Jin Fan now knows that Li Yuan is on guard.

Such opportunities to take action will only become fewer and fewer.

If you can't find opportunities privately, what about various related competitions?

He made a mistake during the competition, seriously injuring his opponent and crippling him.

No one can guarantee that they won't encounter such an accident.

Although it will be punished, it's a much less serious offense compared to secretly carrying out an ambush and killing...

This is the last week of normal teaching.

After Friday, Li Yuan will officially enter summer vacation.

The college entrance examination and subsequent final exams are proctored by designated personnel.

These people are all junior officers on the front lines of the border.

Their role in proctoring the exams ensures greater fairness.

On the other hand, this is also an opportunity to find outstanding talents and replenish the front line with fresh blood.

Why is the education bureau in the southeast region under so much pressure?

It was also because of these military officers who came to supervise the exam that they complained and questioned the process.

In recent years, students' basic knowledge has been getting worse and worse.

Don't mention that there's a university after high school.

University is a time to refine oneself, improve oneself, and reach a level where one can truly meet challenges.

If this martial artist were to spend their university years rebuilding their foundation, how far could they progress?

Li Yuan has not yet officially taken over the position of director of the teaching and research office.

This summer, I will dedicate myself to improving myself and hone my skills in the Lanwu Trials.

It is extremely beneficial, whether for dealing with potential crises or for paving the way for a promotion.

During the last week of teaching, Li Yuan mainly arranged for review for the ninth and fourteenth classes he was in charge of.

Quickly go through the material taught this semester with the students.

Much of the content may only take a few days to teach.

But students will definitely need to use it frequently.

It's unrealistic to expect to improve your skills in just a few lessons.

Martial arts training is the same as other disciplines; a teacher leads you in, but true improvement depends on the individual.

Looking back, many students are still losing experience points.

Li Yuan knew that they hadn't laid a solid foundation in some areas.
