My Inner Thoughts Are Heard by the Entire Noble Academy

Chapter 138: Can others hear the voice in Shi Li’s heart

Chapter 138

The audience members looked at each other, especially those with school board backgrounds among them.

However, their expressions were all bewildered at the moment, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with them.

If it wasn't a suggestion from the students, could it have been the homeroom teacher who proposed it to the school leadership?

None of the students believed their useless homeroom teacher had such capability. If it was really because a student cheated, and the school's invigilation system got a major upgrade as a result, he wouldn't have had his butt targeted in the first place.

Moreover, the student cafeteria and faculty cafeteria were separate, so during lunch, the homeroom teacher shouldn't have been able to hear Shi Li's thoughts.

Such a minor incident of cheating wasn't worth discussing in the class group chat after lunch.

Therefore, from any perspective, the boss shouldn't have known about this matter.

The homeroom teacher received various looks from the students, and he was puzzled, wondering if these students were all planning to cheat. Otherwise, why would their gazes towards him be so complex after hearing about the upgrade of the invigilation system?

The homeroom teacher was a person with extremely high moral standards. He could accept students with poor grades, but he couldn't accept students taking shortcuts.

Like an old father who knows his child is about to take the wrong path, the homeroom teacher was tearful, determined, vigorous, and... oh, no, he's been corrupted by these kids.

He wasn't old; he was only twenty-nine years old, not yet thirty, in his prime, still very young.

Afraid that students might cheat, and even more afraid that they might get caught, he had originally planned to come to the class just to make an announcement. Instead, he began a long lecture educating students not to go astray.

Some things, once done, would be regretted for a lifetime.

The students were originally analyzing who had informed the principal, whether they only mentioned this one incident or if they had also mentioned many other things.

When they heard the homeroom teacher start to preach, which was extremely boring to listen to, it was like falling asleep.

The students in the audience began to yawn one after another.

Shi Li also found it boring after hearing it, [The old teacher would be wasted if he didn't go to a labor reform prison]

Teacher: ...... Hold it in... This is the top student, he must hold it in.

Interrupted by Shi Li, he momentarily forgot where he was in his speech. Well, since the top student didn't want to listen, he might as well stop.

The students discovered that only Shi Li could cure the homeroom teacher's annoying spell.

None of them wanted to listen to the homeroom teacher's preaching, and only Shi Li's words were effective. After all, the homeroom teacher could hear Shi Li's thoughts, and Shi Li was the teacher's precious top student.

Both conditions were necessary and indispensable.

After class, seeing the messages mentioning him in the group chat, the homeroom teacher finally learned about what had happened at lunch.

Everyone in the class claimed they hadn't told outsiders, and the homeroom teacher had only found out recently.

Song Ying even ran to ask her good desk mate for information after class. According to the collected information, this matter wasn't leaked by anyone in their class.

At this point, the students came up with another guess: could it be that someone other than their class could hear Shi Li's thoughts?

For everyone, this wasn't good news.

Especially not knowing who had heard Shi Li's thoughts.

There was no way to contact the person and ask them to keep quiet.

The homeroom teacher helplessly said: [I'll go ask the director later about who gave the principal this idea]

That was all they could do.

However, before the homeroom teacher could go inquire, he was called out for another meeting.

He made an "okay" gesture to the students, indicating that he would try to ask during breaks in the meeting.

If that didn't work, he would find an opportunity to ask after the meeting.

Before the homeroom teacher returned from the meeting, the news was first sent to the small group chat.

[Kids, for the sake of students' moral character, the school will have school leaders host ethics classes during Monday afternoon's self-study period. Three classes will attend together. Our class, along with Class 2 and Class 3, are lucky enough to have the principal teach us]

Below the homeroom teacher's message, the responses were a series of question marks.

[Teacher, did you find out who told the principal about this?]

Homeroom teacher: [I haven't had the chance to ask yet, they're discussing this matter right now]

Half an hour later, the homeroom teacher's meeting ended, but he hadn't found a suitable opportunity during the meeting.

So he hurriedly followed the director.

"Director, I have something to ask you."

After the former Director Zhu fell from grace along with his brother-in-law, his brother-in-law was sent to prison by the school for abuse of power.

Director Zhu was just incompetent, without committing any illegal acts, so he was only fired by the school.

The new director was surnamed Chen, a capable 50-year-old woman with high work efficiency.

Compared to the former Director Zhu, she was much better in every aspect.

Director Zhu's former office was now Director Chen's workplace. Because Director Zhu left in a rather unseemly manner, the school's logistics department had completely renovated the office layout and furnishings before Director Chen moved in.

Director Chen didn't smoke and liked to keep plants. Her office was clean and had a floral fragrance that could be smelled as soon as one entered.

The homeroom teacher put on an obedient smile, "I wanted to ask you why our school suddenly upgraded the invigilation equipment. Was it because a student tried something sneaky during the last monthly exam?"

Puzzled by his sudden question, Director Chen explained, "That's not it. We received a document from higher up, calling for a focus on building a good study atmosphere and paying attention to students' personal morals, especially preventing cheating behaviors."

Director Chen knew people in other schools and happened to know the reason behind this document from higher up.

"During a joint exam of several middle schools recently, the higher-ups went to inspect No. 1 High School and happened to catch a student cheating. When discovered by the leaders, the student still refused to admit it, which infuriated them."

"Cheating itself is bad enough, but obviously doing something wrong and not admitting it is even worse. You know the teaching facilities at No. 1 High School, the surveillance cameras above are just for show. The leaders were already very angry and asked the school to check the surveillance footage, but the school said there was no surveillance."

Homeroom teacher: One can imagine that the leaders must have exploded with anger.

This explained why the school had two meetings this afternoon; it was all thanks to that fellow's contribution.

This guy was really something, knowing he was facing leaders and still stubbornly refusing to admit it.

The school leaders and teachers at No. 1 High School must hate this troublemaker to death.

A thousand good deeds couldn't make up for this troublemaker's one bad deed.

Director Chen was also a gossip enthusiast. After leaving the office, the homeroom teacher was fed a mouthful of gossip.

He immediately shared it with the kids in the small group chat.

While enjoying the gossip, the students also learned that there wasn't anyone else who could hear Shi Li's thoughts.

This incident was just a coincidence.

Since that was the case, everyone felt relieved.

The next day, the class roster and schedule for the ethics classes led by school leaders were arranged.

Because the school leaders took this matter seriously, for students like Liang Rongrong who rarely attended school, and thus wouldn't be present for the ethics classes, Class 3's homeroom teacher didn't include her name on the list.

Every class had a few such students. Although attendance wasn't mandatory, it wouldn't look good if someone from their class was absent during roll call.

So for students who might not attend the classes, the homeroom teachers didn't register them.

If they happened to be at school when the class was held and wanted to attend, that was fine, no one would stop them.

On the following Monday, the students of Ethics Class 1 welcomed their first lesson, with the principal as the main speaker, held in the school's small auditorium.

Since there was only one class per week, and only one lesson each time, allowing them to relax and not study, the students found it quite interesting.

Well, that was what everyone thought before the class started.

Whether they would still find these classes interesting after attending them remained to be seen.

According to the class order, Class 1 students sat in the front.

The leaders considered this preferential treatment, and students from other classes also thought this arrangement was good, as sitting in the back allowed them to secretly play with their phones or sleep.

The principal stood at the podium, with the bright red words "Ethics and Law" particularly noticeable behind him.

The principal was accompanied by a young male colleague who was bustling about before class, bringing hot water, adjusting the PowerPoint presentation, and helping to pass out the attendance register - a real brown-noser.

He wasn't the principal's secretary, but rather the principal's former student.

Because his former high school teacher had become the principal of Qianpu School, he had been promoted unusually quickly after joining the school, becoming the deputy director of logistics in just three years.

Flattery will get you everywhere, as they say.

The principal's official secretary had been pushed aside by him.

Unfortunately, the students of Class 1, Grade 10 had a bit of a grudge against him.

This guy happened to be in charge of this year's "spring outing," and according to the homeroom teacher, the ridiculous idea of the kidnapping game was his suggestion.

Seeing him scurrying around serving the principal, Shi Li couldn't help but recall some past events.

She inwardly clicked her tongue: [The principal probably doesn't know that his star pupil, Shuizhi, has been fooling around with his wife behind his back]

The students of Class 1, Grade 10 thought: Wow, things are getting spicy today.

Even spicier revelations were yet to come. The class monitor, sitting near the Class 2 students, overheard someone say, "Holy crap? Is this for real? How does anyone even know about this?"

"And to just casually mention an affair with the principal's wife like that... how are the people involved supposed to face each other after this gets out?"

The class monitor was bewildered: ???
