She is only concerned about her child who went to this school and what could happen to her child if Mark Vanitas ever went out of control.
"Did we not all see what happened with Mark and that Calamity Class on the news? His power and strength are a danger to every student in this school, and he should not be allowed close to them for their own safety. What will we tell the parents of these poor children if Mark gets annoyed someday and destroys the entire school because someone looked at him in the wrong way!?
He has more than enough power to do just that! Why would we be willing to put such unease into the heart of our parents?"
Someone on the other side of the table clicked their tongue, and Linda looked towards the woman sitting opposite her. The woman there was a redhead with sharp black eyes that seemed to pierce into your soul. She was wearing a crisp black skirt suit, and her hands were folded as she glared at Linda in irritation. Her name was Juliet, and she was the homeroom teacher for class 2A, Mark's class.
She couldn't believe that they were even having this conversation after everything that they saw on the news. They all knew what Mark did for them, and yet here they were, trying to make his life harder by expelling him from school for no reason. As far as she was concerned, this entire meeting was bullshit.
"Why would you think Mark would suddenly go off kilter and begin killing students now when he hasn't done any such thing in all the years that he has been here?"
Linda narrowed her eyes at Juliet when Juliet countered her, but Juliet was not fazed by this. Juliet knew what sort of woman Linda was. Just because Linda is the chairwoman of the PTA, she thinks that she can control the school just like she controls her husbands, but Juliet is not going to allow her to do something this cruel!
Linda could see the rebellious glint in Juliet's eyes, and a great surge of anger rose in Linda as she turned back to the principal.
"How can we believe the word of a mere teacher? She is biased since she is his homeroom teacher, so of course she would protect him. But tell me, Juliet. Isn't Mark one of the worst students in your class when looking at his attendance? He might not be failing outright, but his grades are average, and he does not even come to class. Is that really what we want to leave as a legacy in this school?"
Juliet bit the inside of her lip to prevent herself from hurling a personal attack at Linda once she heard this. This woman was too shameless. How can you go around saying something like that with such a straight face? There are students in the school with grades that are far worse than Mark's grades!
And now that they knew who he was, they all knew the reason why he was not coming to class as often as the other students. How can be blame Mark for being absent when he is out there trying to protect us?
The person sitting beside Juliet was a tall old man with white hair and thin round glasses hanging on his nose. His name was George, and he was one of the oldest teachers in this school who had stayed here the longest. George has been in this school even before the headmaster Julius Grant became the headmaster, and everyone in the school showed him great respect.
He was leaning forward with a worried expression as he listened to the two women speak, but once he heard what Linda said, he couldn't stay silent as he turned to her.
"And why would that be important, Linda? You speak like you do not know the truth as well. There is only one excuse for Mark's absence, and it is the best excuse anyone could give as far as I am concerned. If he has to miss school a few times in order to save this city from being destroyed, then we should be awarding him, not reprimanding him."
Juliet fist-pumped excitedly on the inside as she heard George say this! She knew that she could not have said it better and she would have hurled an insult at Linda if she said it, so she was happy that someone else said it instead. Linda's face looked like she swallowed a lemon as she gave George a look.
Linda couldn't insult her elder, so she was forced to shift tactics as she tried using something else to her advantage.
"Regardless of that fact, I still think Mark's presence in this school will only lead to serious issues down the line. Harry, tell them about the situation developing between Mark and one of the students in your class."
The person that Linda suddenly spoke to was a short chubby man who was sitting beside her, and immediately she called his name, he jolted in surprise and looked around at the table nervously. It was obvious to everyone that he had been sleeping, and calling his name was the only thing that just woke him up. He was the homeroom teacher of class 3A, Francis' class.
Harry didn't want to be here at all! He didn't like sitting in such serious situations, and he always felt like he was going to vomit whenever he was asked to speak in such a serious setting. Everyone looking at him always gave him great anxiety! The only reason why Harry came here was because Linda managed to use her charms to make him come to her side.
She trapped him in a secluded corner of the school just before the meeting and easily talked him into coming just by touching his chest and face once or twice. He was so easy that something that small was enough to make him loyal to her like a dog. He was a simp like no other!
Linda suddenly used her heel to step on Harry's feet and Harry yelped in pain as he came back to reality and started to talk quickly!
"Y-Yes, there has been a serious allegation against Mark from one of my students recently. My student Francis reported that Mark has been threatening him with violence for some time now and we are worried that Mark will pose a threat to the life of this student if he is kept in the school."
"Francis? Francis Colton?"
The headmaster suddenly spoke up for the first time as he said that name and the chubby man nodded as he heard the headmaster say Francis' full name. Everyone knew who Francis was and they also knew how strong his family was in the city. There is no way that the headmaster can ignore their claims now that they are bringing in someone as important as the Coltons.
