"You!!" Ryder was flabbergasted as he did not expect Mr. Hardy to speak so harshly.
He had to restrain himself while none of the others dared to step forward.
Nicole raised her eyebrows and rubbed her ears before retorting, "This teacher here is swearing like a sailor. Talking much about keeping the rights of a quality a teacher should have and what not. He must be really shameless considering that he is one himself."
Nicole's voice was not loud, but it was clear enough for everyone in the audience to hear it.
When Mr. Hardy noticed that it was Nicole, he bellowed, "What right do you have to speak to me? This is all about skills. The Finley brothers have none, and you should remember that!"
Zeke, who was still onstage, noticed that Mr. Hardy was going to provoke Nicole once more. He quickly rushed off the stage without an ounce of care for what the host wanted to say.
"Mr. Hardy!"
Noticing that Zeke was coming toward him, Mr. Hardy's pride swelled to astronomical proportions.
"Do you see that? That's my student. The champion of the previous competition, and second in the world! You should be ashamed of yourselves if you can't even enter the top ten! Don't embarrass yourself any further, and just go home!"
Zeke noticed the smug look on Mr. Hardy's face, and he looked at Nicole apologetically as if begging her not to make things worse.
At that moment, Nicole calmed down and said, "Your student is a master, but what are you? Why are you being so cocky? As* kisser."
Nicole's words were like knives piercing through Mr. Hardy's pride.
The students of Royal Creek busted out laughing. Ryder too could not help himself from shooting Nicole a glance. He did not expect her to have such disdain for Mr. Hardy. It was all but cruel.
"Who are you calling an *ss kisser!" Mr. Hardy became furious, and instinctively attempted to rush over, but was stopped by Director Monroe who blocked him.
"That's enough! You can create as much commotion as you'd like but leave my students alone or I'll make you pay for it," she warned.
Mr. Hardy was stunned for a moment, before noticing that Gary, Ryder, and the others had stood up. He immediately felt timid at that sight.
Then, he glared at Nicole and said, "For their sake, I'll let you have this one for free!"
Mr. Hardy had wanted to utter harsher words, but was stopped by Nicole's snorting.
"I'll leave it up to you," Nicole's voice became icy in an instant. "However, I'll make sure you leave this place crying today."
Nicole's expression was grim, as if she was declaring war on Mr. Hardy, which made him nervous.
'I can't fathom how and where did this high school kid find her confidence,' Mr. Hardy thought to himself, and just as he was about to muster a comeback, he noticed the looks given to him by the Finley brothers.
"Keep boasting! I'll see who gets the last laugh."
"Mr. Hardy! Stop talking!" Zeke yelled, trying to get Mr. Hardy out of the sticky situation as he realized that Nicole was serious.
Nicole watched as Zeke left, and the blank expression on her face remained. 'I guess it is destined that I am not to go easy on Zeke today.'
At that time, Ryder came over and patted Nicole on the shoulder. "It's okay. Don't be so anxious. I know that you're here to make a comeback. Even if you lose to him, it's not something to be embarrassed about, okay?"
Nicole looked at Ryder indifferently. "I just said that I won't lose, and that means I won't lose."
Nicole sat down after she had made her statement loud and clear, leaving Ryder standing there in embarrassment while looking at Director Monroe.
Director Monroe was also upset, and had gone over to sit down, trying to avoid overthinking about the situation.
'I'm glad that one of us was able to talk our way out and save our school's reputation,' Director Monroe thought to herself while considering how difficult it was for them to win the competition now.
