However, Xuanyuan Xin was rather satisfied with being in charge of all the freshmen. He silently resolved to undermine Ji Dong's standing no matter what. This drunkard was not fit to be a teacher at all. The post of class in-charge should have been his in the first place.
For the sake of the trials, Zhu Rong personally sought out Ji Dong. What eased Zhu Rong a bit was that Ji Dong still was drinking, but he seemed a little better mentally, at least his consciousness was clearer. But he simply was reluctant to socialize.
"Teacher, do I really have to go?"
"You must go. Ji Dong, you should understand that there are plenty of expectations of you from your mentor, kindred aunt, and me. I understand, the death of the Flaming Queen was a hard blow for you. But we must go on with our lives. If you keep being this way, not only will it hamper any revenge, you might end up being completely useless."
"Alright, I'll go."
Three days later...
