"This…"
The students were staring at each other, never expecting Theo to be from the Star Group and he even had the quota for the skill upgrade. It was no wonder why he wanted to tell them about going past their limit.
In the teacher's information, they could only see Theo's name and curriculum after all. The same applied to the students. There were only the student's picture, name, and rank.
The government didn't want them to rely on their connection because they came here as a student, not representative of their influences.
And that move backfired on them because they thought Theo wasn't someone important and tried to go against him.
Unfortunately, Theo was the person sent by the Star Group and had all kinds of benefits. If Theo wanted them dead, no one could be alive except for Grace, whose father was the Great Magician.
Though, Grace herself was different from them. She had the best conduct in this class, making everyone jealous.
They thought Grace could achieve something like that due to her background, and that was the reason why they were staring at each other.
"You… you were the one stopping me from receiving the recommendation."
"I shouldn't have listened to your words."
"You were the one persuading me, not the other way around. If you didn't try to talk about it, I would have retained my recommendation. Everything was your fault."
They tried to pin the blame on others to make themselves look correct. However, Grace bit her lips, thinking Theo left the room because he knew what they would do after that.
Since he didn't like to see them fighting, he just left them alone, thinking there would be another person to stop them. And that person would probably be the next one receiving their recommendation. At the very least, Theo would forget about their mistake previously and they could start doing something to earn the recommendation.
As she expected, Theo was actually watching the entire class through the Skylink. There was a camera that recorded their lesson.
"Hmm… There is no sound. I guess they want the teacher himself to explain the curriculum instead of watching this." Theo muttered with a frown. Just by arguing alone, they had received another minus point from Theo.
However, his eyes were glued to Grace, thinking she would be stopping them. But to his surprise, a guy slammed his fist on the table.
*Bam!*
The students were startled as they followed the noise's direction.
The guy shouted, "All of you are so immature. Have you not learned your lesson? The teacher has told us to improve ourselves and get his recognition. Yet, all of you here are trying to pin the blame on others!
"What are you trying to achieve from blaming others? Do you just want to feel good? Do you think our Teacher will accept that you pin the blame on others when all of you are at fault? We have no one to blame other than ourselves!"
The guy gritted his teeth, glaring at them.
"Of course, I know that. But aren't you frustrated when others drag you down?"
"Of course, I'm frustrated. However, I should be blamed for even listening to them. If I had some trust in the teacher, I wouldn't have been in this situation! So, I am at fault."
When he was about to reply to Ruby, a guy slammed the table and entered the room with a smug smile. "Hmph."
He looked around and found Ruby and Theo sitting in the corner, chatting. Seeing Theo here, the guy couldn't help but smile, thinking it was the right time to humiliate him.
