Really? Wasn't the punishment enough?" John inquired, perplexed by Alice's words.
After all, weren't the latecomers already being punished?
"My dear brother, that may be true in normal circumstances, but you forget that today was your first time attending Sir Vincent's class, as it was for all the students. First impressions hold great significance. Even if Sir Vincent himself didn't pay much attention to the latecomers, he will subconsciously remember their faces as rule breakers and develop a slightly negative impression of them," Alice explained, sighing at John's confusion and taking the time to clarify.
"I see. In that case, it seems like I dodged a bullet there," John sighed in relief, finally understanding the situation more clearly.
