Chapter 80: Minister of Discipline and Discipline
Mick didn't go back to the dorm room with the rest of the group after the game, but quietly hid back in Calvin's underground lab.
Although Mick has always behaved naturally during the game, he still feels a little embarrassed to talk to Kenneth face-to-face, and he doesn't know how to get along with Kenneth for a while, so he simply borrows back to the lab to study under the guise of slipping away.
Although Kenneth has something to say to Mick, there is an even more troublesome matter in front of Kenneth that needs to be solved, and that is the question of Marcus's whereabouts.
The student who had forgiven Marcus before finally canceled the complaint against Marcus under Marcus's soft and hard apology, but the Discipline Department of the Student Union attached great importance to this matter, and the old-fashioned and stubborn Minister of Discipline William Joyce was a person who could not tolerate a little sand in his eyes, so he specially asked Marcus to go to the Discipline Department at 15 o'clock this afternoon to talk.
However, Kenneth also went to the auditorium uninvited.
The Discipline Department is located on the third floor of the Hanna Pavilion, Room 303, which is no larger than the president's office, and is divided into two spaces by a floor-to-ceiling sliding wooden door. In addition to the head of the discipline department, there are two deputy ministers, a secretary and two secretaries working in the office, but all of them are men.
Marcus and Kenneth sat on uncomfortable couches, across the coffee table sat William, the Minister of Discipline and Discipline, and behind him stood his male secretary.
Kenneth looked at William, who had a cold face and sharp eyes, and only felt uncomfortable. William was a black man, with a muscular build, and his shirt was tightened. Of course, Kenneth didn't think differently about him because of the color of his skin, but because William didn't look at him kindly. This is also a matter of course, after all, Kenneth had snatched Ming back from William's men before, although William reluctantly handed Ming over to Kenneth after seeing the president's written reply, but he had always been suspicious and raised objections to Claire many times, but they were all rejected by Claire. This made William, who regarded principles as paramount, very dissatisfied, and also affected his impression of Kenneth. Now regarding Marcas's injury, William will naturally not be in a much better mood when he sees Kenneth appear in front of him again.
The races in the empire are broadly divided into white, yellow, and black races, as well as the extremely rare blue race. Among them, there are a large number of white people living in the six northern regions, because there are still some yellow and black people in the abolitionist movement a hundred years ago. Among the three southern regions, Geraldine and Andwa are mainly of the yellow race, and only the Hilda region is mainly black and is the gathering place of all black people in the empire. But the dukes of the three regions were not yellow or black, but white through and through, and more than 90 percent of the nobles of the three regions were also Caucasian. This has a lot to do with the Gospels of the state religion, which tend to put the white race first among the human race. But as the liberal wave swept the country, this discriminatory view was gradually abandoned, and only devout members of the state religion would cling to this narrow racial view.
William frowned, but decided to ask Kenneth first, "Minister of Security, why are you here?" ”
Kenneth replied as a matter of course, "This guy threatens the security of the Academy, and of course I need to keep an eye on him at all times." ”
"Oh?" William raised an eyebrow on his left side and said, "As far as I know, it seems that you didn't watch him when you were in the game this morning, right?" ”
"That's why I knocked him out and tied him up in the dorm room." Kenneth said rightly.
When Marcus heard this, he dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, so he could only glare at Kenneth fiercely to vent his dissatisfaction.
"Well, it's not a big deal. But since you also recognize that this Marcus classmate is a threat to the safety of the academy, then I think you should have no problem with us punishing him, right? William said to Kenneth with a businesslike look.
"Of course I don't have a problem." Kenneth said with a cooperative expression.
"Very well, then......" William looked at Marcas, his tone becoming serious, "Marcas Brenda, do you admit the fact that you hurt people in the House Games?" ”
Marcus licked his lips, which felt a little dry, and after glancing at Kenneth, he nodded hesitantly, "I admit it." ”
William was a little surprised by Marcus's honesty, but then his face sank and he said to Marcas, "Then do you know that you have seriously violated the school rules?" ”
Marcus nodded, "I know by now." ”
"From what we have learned, you have caused a total of seven injuries, the most serious one even fractured his tibia. Now that you have confessed your misdeeds, I don't need to talk nonsense with you anymore, and I will propose to the president that you be expelled from the school. Of course, if you feel that this is a loss of face, you can also take the initiative to withdraw from the school. William said with certainty.
Marcas was rather unconvinced: "Haven't those guys already dropped the charges against me?" Why are you punishing me? ”
William crossed his hands on his knees, and said ruthlessly: "We are the Discipline Department, and we are in charge of all violations of school discipline and rules in the academy, and it has nothing to do with the opinions of the victims. ”
"Then I didn't apologize to the garbage for nothing?!" Marcas limped to his feet excitedly and said excitedly.
Kenneth pulled Marcus back onto the couch and glared at him fiercely, signaling him not to talk too much.
And William snorted coldly: "It seems that you have no remorse at all, it is too dangerous to keep people like you in the academy, I will definitely inform the president of your situation in detail, and be sure to expel a stubborn imp like you from the academy." ”
"You dare?!" Marcus glared, and as soon as he finished speaking, he was punched on the head by Kenneth, holding his head and looking at Kenneth and following the words just now, "You dare...... Why hit me?! ”
Kenneth exhaled and said angrily, "Do you still want to stay in the academy?!" ”
"I'm T, I thought about it, but this guy made it clear that he wouldn't let it!" Marcus pointed to William, who had a cold and ruthless face, and said aggrievedly.
Because he often mingled with his father's adventurer companions when he was a child, Marcus always unconsciously spat dirty words, but in front of Kenneth, Marcus still forced himself to come over, afraid that Kenneth would abandon him in anger.
Although he had only dealt with William once, Kenneth was very impressed by this guy's stubbornness, and he wanted to convince him by eloquence alone, Kenneth asked himself if he was not so capable, so he said bluntly: "What do you need to do to keep Marcus in the academy." ”
Hearing Kenneth say this, William's eyebrows furrowed, and he unceremoniously accused: "Kenneth, although you are only a first-year student, you are also the minister of the Ministry of Security, why are you so partial in the face of the maniac who hurts the students?" Have you forgotten your duty? Are you trying to live up to the president's trust in you? ”
William's eyes always showed unreserved adoration when he mentioned the president, and it was clear that Claire had great prestige in his heart, and because of this, William had anger in his final tone.
Facing William, who was in the fourth grade, Kenneth did not retreat but advanced, and said-for-tat: "I will do this because I don't want to live up to the president's trust in me!" Since Marcus hasn't dropped out of school yet, he's one of the students who needs my protection! I think he still has a chance to mend his ways! ”
William, on the other hand, just looked at Kenneth calmly, with a look of disappointment in his eyes: "I thought that you, as the head of the student union personally selected by the president, must be a fairly mature person, but you can't even weigh the collective interests and individual interests, which really disappoints me to the extreme!" ”
Kenneth blinked, and his momentum couldn't help but weaken a little, "Although your words sound powerful, I don't understand much!" ”
William helped his forehead, and the secretary behind him couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and Marcus had a feeling that he wanted to faint, did he come here to help him, or to be funny?!
"I mean," William explained, taking a breath after making sure Kenneth wasn't joking, "I mean, do you think you're right to put the whole school in danger for the sake of one person?" ”
"So can you just ignore Marcas's rights for the safety of all the students? I can't accept it! "Kenneth cut the railroad.
"There seems to be something flawed in your understanding," William pointed out mercilessly, "that he himself has admitted his misdeeds, that is, that his threat is real." I want to exclude him as a threat for the benefit of all students, rather than ignoring his rights, you understand? ”
Facts have proved that playing tricks is indeed not Kenneth's strong point, and in the face of William's clear and methodical step-by-step pressing, Kenneth was speechless, so he had to play the sympathetic card and said: "But wouldn't it be too much to let him drop out of school just because of such a thing?" ”
"The school rules stipulate that those who use violence in the college will be punished according to the severity of the circumstances, which are divided into three punishment measures: demerit, probation and expulsion. Referring to the injuries of seven people, it is enough to constitute the most serious circumstance. William looked at Marcus with an angry look on his face and said, obviously William was completely intolerant of Marcus's behavior.
Kenneth made a final struggle: "But the victims have already chosen to forgive him...... This should alleviate the plot, right? ”
William thought for a moment and asked the secretary on the side, who whispered a few words in his ear, and then William looked at Kenneth and nodded, "Indeed, if there are forgiveness letters from the seven victims, I can change his punishment to probation." ”
"Great!" Excitement flashed across Kenneth and Marcus' faces.
"However, considering the bad impact of this matter on the Academy, I can only give you twenty-eight hours. Twenty-eight hours later, if I don't see the letters of forgiveness from the seven victims, I'll still take the same punishment. Also, I'm going to have a deputy minister ask the victim about the process of asking for your forgiveness letter, and if there's violence, I think, Kenneth, you, the Minister of Security, are going to face severe punishment. William said with a serious face.
"No problem!" Kenneth said confidently, while Marcus looked a little worried: it looks like he has to suffer another sin all over his body......
And in fact, it is exactly like this, in the face of Marcus's second round of apology trip, those victims did not want to let Marcus go, so Marcus added new injuries to his new injury, but he returned to the Phil Building in a daze, and Kenneth sighed with emotion: This guy's vitality is really not to be underestimated.
However, because of the first apology, this time the others mainly wanted to breathe again, and the process went smoothly, and at twenty-three o'clock in the evening, when the two got the forgiveness letter from the other six and came to Auston, they were faced with Auston's cold and handsome face.
"Give me a reason to forgive you." Auston asked.
