…
"Principal!"
"We are here to expose you."
Avalon and Maya entered the room. Their faces were filled with confidence as if they had discovered something big.
Victoria only stared at them while asking, "What? The fact that I still had the real letter?"
"Huh?" Avalon and Maya widened their eyes in shock.
"You guys are too late." Victoria smiled and ended up lecturing them.
Victoria had also confused them by saying that someone from the class had come first and got the letter, which increased the distrust among them.
Aurora didn't realize that she was the one Victoria mentioned. In the end, the students suspected each other, throwing around accusations.
They didn't realize that Victoria had understood them a little bit after dealing with them for several days. She just threw some lies to pay them back for all the mess they had caused in the last few days.
And it worked beautifully. Before they realized it, the students had stopped talking to each other.
Only Haruka and Aurora remained solid since Haruka had decided to quit from the test.
Mia was watching everything from a distance in amusement. If she also took this test, she would probably end up suspecting all of them.
…
Finally, the time was up.
Theo gathered all his students in the class. This time, he was accompanied by Victoria, her hand holding a single letter.
The students couldn't help but furrow their eyebrows. They had the same thought. What was that letter in her hand?
Theo said, "To be honest, I'm quite disappointed that you are unable to get the real letter from Principal Victoria."
"!!!" Their bodies twitched when Theo confirmed their suspicion.
"I wish that you are able to be more creative. Or have I made you overconfident in yourself and your classmates?" Theo asked.
"Teacher Theo… I have never intended to hand over the real letter though." Victoria frowned.
"Is that so? That's only your intention, but they can simply choose a different method, for example, using a student from another class or having another teacher ask it from you. Several of them should have a high contribution, which would sway your opinion a little bit. If I'm the one doing it, rather than confronting you personally, I'll use my connection to move over your backers," answered Theo.
"!!!" Victoria's eyebrows twitched. If those people suddenly came and just talked casually, she might give out one or two pieces of information. If they made a threat, they would definitely get the letter.
For Victoria, this matter was extremely important. However, her backers would find this test insignificant to them. Asking them for this favor wouldn't cost them so much.
In addition, the students had their own strong background, so they could definitely do it with minimal losses.
Theo previously said that he didn't want his students to use each other or do something bad. Using their own background wasn't included. In fact, she believed that the people behind them would really be proud if they managed to pass the test.
"You sure are nasty." Victoria let out a long sigh.
"Haha. I'll take it as a compliment. Even then, I have given three clues, even if you are unable to get the real letter." Theo smirked while raising three fingers.
"What do you mean clues, Teacher? That's the real letter…" Oliver asked while pointing at the one in Victoria's hand.
"Indeed. The real letter contains a detailed explanation regarding the test. However, those two letters are two out of the three clues I have given to you guys. I know that you will be able to acquire them in one way or another… not that I condone your action."
"The two letters." The students exchanged looks.
"Each letter contains a third of the information. And the last piece of the information was in…" Theo glanced at Mia.
"Me?" Mia pointed at herself in disbelief. She wanted to react, but she suddenly noticed something was off. She abruptly fell into deep thought. "Ah! So that's how it is."
"Mia?"
"What's wrong?"
"What did you find out?"
They never thought that Mia would hold the clue. At the same time, it seemed that Mia was unaware of the clue itself.
Before Mia could explain, Theo cut them off. "I hope that you guys remember that I'm disappointed in you guys. Just imagine that right now, your family will betray you and stab you in the back because they see a greater success after that. How painful will it feel for you?"
"!!!" Oliver and the others lowered their heads. When Theo mentioned it, they felt ashamed.
"I taught you guys to be creative and unexpected, but I had never told you to be treacherous. Next time, something important might be taken as the price of doing such a thing. I hope that you remember this test whenever you want to do something in the future.
"A sword is a tool for mass murders if you don't know who to protect when wielding it. Knowledge is a tool of mass destruction in the disguise of development and peace. Without rules and limits, getting all the power you gain from this class makes you nothing but a walking bomb."
Theo's expression turned cold.
No students dared to raise their heads at this point. Even Haruka and Aurora, who didn't do anything too bad, lowered their heads. They realized that when they came to Theo's apartment and pulled such a trick, it could go wrong if his wife was there. It might cause friction inside his family.
If something went wrong, they would repay their teacher's kindness by breaking his family.
Theo paused for a moment before saying, "Now that's out of the way, I guess we'll continue with the test. You should be the one to announce the winner, Principal Victoria."
"I haven't opened the letter though," Victoria claimed with a nonchalant tone. "So I don't know what kind of test you're doing right now."
"Well, how about reading it now?" Theo smiled.
"Hmm…" Victoria was a bit curious about the test. She had seen all the reactions of the students that managed to get the information, but she never knew what kind of thing Theo truly wanted to achieve in this test.

While furrowing her eyebrows, Victoria opened the letter.
The students gulped down, wondering who had won. It might be because she was frustrated by their actions in the past week that Victoria was ripping the envelope and opening it slowly.
The students wanted to scream, 'Just read it!' but they had to behave or they might be disqualified.
Victoria first frowned when she read the content of the letter before gasping in surprise as she came to a realization. "This is…"
"It seems that you are already aware of the winner." Theo shrugged.
The students trembled. Was it me? They kept asking themselves, wanting to see through that piece of paper.
"How about you announce the winner personally, Principal?"
Victoria nodded with a solemn expression. "The winner is…"
'I bet the author will put this thought of mine at the end of the chapter to create a cliffhanger.' Theo thought with a smug smile in his heart.
