Chapter 48
Although Mr. Dennis and Ms. Abby didn''t voice their thoughts, they were actually in agreement with Mr.
Arkle.
Lysander was not upset, "Since I managed to invite her, she must have already graduated. As this
year''s graduates impact the school''s reputation, with Ms. Vivienne in ss Eighteen, you guys should
be more at ease."
"Principal!" Mr. Arkle voiced his dissatisfaction, "I have already stated, I can''t teach ss Eighteen, I
won''t do it."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "You know better than anyone else what kind of hellhole
ss Eighteen is. I advise you not to send this young girl there. She''s only around neen, and
there''s no guarantee she''ll make it out of ss Eighteen in one piece, let alone be able to discipline the
students there. Are you joking?"
Mr. Dennis and Ms. Abby both nodded in agreement, chiming in, "Principal, we get that you''re in a
rush, but you''re hurting this girl with your actions."
Lysander rubbed his temples, feeling a headacheing on.
They hadn''t seen Vivienne''s capabilities, so he couldn''t me them.
But the task of acting as a substitute still needed to be carried out by them. Even if Vivienne was really
capable, she couldn''t possibly teach all of ss Eighteen''s courses.
Lysander looked at Vivienne, "Ms. Vivienne, what do you think?"
In private, he referred to Vivienne as Ms. Vivienne, but in the school, he had to refer to her as Ms.
Vivienne.
Vivienne gave a small smile, not taking offense at what the three teachers had said. She simply said,
"Let the teachers rest for now. I''ll notify you when it''s time to start teaching."
She was only responsible for maintaining order among the students, not for teaching.
Even so, she was capable of teaching!
But Mr. Arkle thought that Vivienne, so young and boastful, expecting them to cooperate with her, was
simplyughable!
So, he responded sarcastically, "Great! If you can maintain order in ss Eighteen, I''ll give them extra
lessons after school every day, free of charge."
"Thank you, Mr. Arkle." Vivienne remained respectful throughout.
Seeing that the matter was settled, the teachers said nothing more and left.
After they left, news that ss Eighteen had a new ss teacher quickly spread throughout the school.
Meanwhile, Lysander and Vivienne were unaware that the news had already spread across the school.
Lysander initially wanted to exin the situation further to Vivienne, but Vivienne asked him to take her
directly to ss Eighteen.
She was a principled person. During work hours, she believed in doing what was within her job scope,
to earn her keep.
In senior grade three, ss Eighteen.
The ss was currently abuzz when suddenly a student ran in, excitedly saying, "Did you guys hear?
We have a new ss teacher, and she''s a woman! She''s on her way here with the principal now."
The noise died down as all eyes turned to the student who had spoken, the room falling silent.
After a moment, someone whistled and said teasingly, "This teacher''s got guts, guys, let''s prepare a
wee party."
Then, a round of cheering and the sound of desks and chairs being hit, "Buddies, get ready to make
some noise!"
After that, everyone started to get busy.
Around fifteen minutester, the figures of Vivienne and the principal appeared in the corridor.
The student on lookout duty saw them and immediately returned to the ssroom, shouting excitedly,
"They''re here, everyone get ready."
On the other side, Lysander led Vivienne to a corner and stopped. He pointed at a ssroom not far
away and said to Vivienne, "That''s ss Eighteen, Ms. Vivienne. I have a lot of other things to handle,
so I won''t go with you, you..."
He wanted to ask her, can you handle it alone?
But he thought it might not be appropriate to leave her alone here and ask such a question.
Vivienne understood what he meant and nodded, "I can handle it. You go ahead with your work, Mr.
Lysander."
Vivienne stepped forward, walking slowly towards ss Eighteen.
When she reached the door, she lifted her head slightly and gave a small smile. Then, she lifted her
foot, kicked the door open, and quickly sidestepped, as a bucket fell from above.
The bucket was full of paint, which sttered all over the floor.
Vivienne simply nced at the paint on the floor, took out a pair of disposable shoe covers from her

bag, put them on, and walked into the ssroom.
As she entered, she saw a group of people with wide eyes, looking shocked.
They hadn''t expected anyone to avoid their first trap.
They were proud of this trap, and every time a teacher came in, this trap could scare them away. But
there were also those who braved it and came in to teach.
But the oues weren''t usually good.
They all lifted their heads to look at the new ss teacher. Suddenly, everyone took a deep breath.
Someone even eximed, "My God! Is she really our ss teacher? Did she identally walk into our
ssroom?"
"She looks pretty good, and she broke our first trap. I''m suddenly interested in her."
The murmurs were loud, reaching Vivienne''s ears.
Vivienne walked to the center of the room, where there used to be a podium, but it had been moved to
a corner by the students, covered in a thickyer of dust.
She stood in the middle, her cold gaze sweeping the room. When her eyesnded on a figure in the
corner, she suddenly froze!
Charlotte was also shocked.
Charlotte sitting in the corner looked up, meeting Vivienne''s gaze. She was taken aback, her eyes
growing wider and wider!
Then, she eximed, "Oh my God! Am I seeing things? Vivienne?"
Why was she here?
What''s going on here?
Vivienne’s gaze lingered on them for just a few seconds before pulling away.
"I''m Vivienne, your ss teacher for the next three months!" she stated, in a rather nonchnt manner.
No sooner had she finished speaking, than someone shouted, "What! Are you really here to be our
ss teacher? Hey, are you an adult? How dare you be our homeroom teacher? You better go home
as soon as possible! "
"Ha! It''s my first time seeing someone just a year older than us trying to be a homeroom teacher. Do
you think your life is too easy?"
"Guys, let''s teach her a lesson!"
With that said, a wave ofughter and whistles broke out.
Soon after, someone fetched a cage from a corner. After opening it, several snakes and a bunch of rats
scurried out.
"Whoa, we got snakes and rats here! Don''t worry, teacher, they don''t bite."
The students said this with mischievous joy in their eyes. On the other side, Charlotte snapped back to
reality and immediately stood up, angrily saying, "Logan Wood, pack up your stuff! She''s my friend..."
Logan cut her off, "Back off. Even if she''s your friend, I won''t let her off the hook. Coming to ss
Eighteen, she gotta be prepared… Oh my God!"
His words abruptly stopped, his eyes darting around. When he saw what was happening, he jumped up
scared stiff, standing on a chair, his eyes as big as saucers.
Not far away, Vivienne had a snake in one hand and a small knife in the other. She walked straight to
the first desk with the snake, and then its head was chopped off.
