170: Qin War

This wasn't their fault; after all, even though Principal Qin, the main authority, was present, he rarely participated in the management of specific affairs, acting more as a nominal figure.

Therefore, when important matters were discussed, everyone tacitly agreed not to include him in the core discussion.

Principal Qin merely sat to the side, a faint smile on his lips, quietly watching their lively discussion and occasionally nodding, but never interrupting anyone's speech.

The atmosphere of the discussion was initially harmonious, with everyone actively offering suggestions.

However, as opinions began to diverge, the discussion gradually became more intense.

Just then, Principal Qin slowly put away his smile, gently tapped the table, and spoke in a steady, powerful voice.

"Since your opinions aren't unified, how about I offer a suggestion?"

This sudden remark clearly startled the others present.

They hadn't expected Principal Qin, who usually just made an appearance, to actively voice his opinion today.

For a moment, all eyes were focused on Principal Qin, awaiting his next words.

Principal Qin ignored their surprised gazes and continued.

"Li Wen, Lin Yan's new student, is talented enough to make good use of this opportunity."

As soon as he said this, someone immediately raised a question.

"But his strength hasn't reached the Monarch Tier yet; will he really be able to attract a pet to contract with him there?"

Faced with this question, Principal Qin simply smiled slightly, then revealed a shocking piece of news.

"It's only been half a semester since school started, and Li Wen has already successfully cultivated a pet capable of reaching the peak of the Commander Tier."

"Moreover, this pet even possesses the strength to break through Monarch Tier defenses."

For a moment, the entire conference room fell silent.

Because everyone knew in their hearts that, given the current situation, it would be difficult to find any other student who could compare.

After all, this level of strength wasn't something just anyone could possess.

However, despite the facts laid out before them, one person couldn't help but speak up.

"Although Li Wen is indeed outstanding, both he and Lin Bufan are disciples of Teacher Lin Yan."

"Is it really appropriate to give the spots to both of them this time?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the already somewhat solemn atmosphere became even more oppressive.

And just then, Principal Qin, who had been sitting at the head of the table, suddenly frowned, as if a boundary had been crossed.

But after only a few short seconds, his grim expression quickly returned to normal, as usual, and he slowly began to speak.

"It seems, gentlemen, that you haven't truly understood my intention..."

Before he finished speaking, the smile on Principal Qin's face suddenly vanished without a trace, and at the same time, an extremely powerful and sharp aura burst forth from his body, sweeping outwards like surging waves!

"I am not discussing this with you!"

In an instant, various documents that had been quietly placed on the conference table flew up into the air as if ravaged by a strong wind.

The others present, as if facing a formidable enemy, desperately tried to steady their chairs, but even so, the chairs continued to slide backward with a fierce scraping sound against the floor.

Just then, the person who had always been seen as a good-natured individual played an important role.

When it was his turn to speak, he truly spoke up.

"Old Qin, even if what we say doesn't quite suit your taste, there's no need to release your aura at the drop of a hat!"

Following that, he continued to persuade.

"Theoretically speaking, we are all just offering you suggestions. If you are truly determined to give Li Wen a spot, even if this decision might differ from what everyone else thinks, we can't stop you."

Upon hearing these words, Principal Qin slowly retracted the powerful aura emanating from him and spoke slowly.

"Alright, then I'll say it here today."

No matter what, Li Wen must have a spot, even if it means replacing Lin Bufan. No reason is needed, simply because I want to give him this spot."

For a moment, not a single person present stood up to object.

The reason was simple: Principal Qin already held a portion of the decision-making power.

According to the previously agreed-upon rules, the other personnel could jointly nominate one candidate, while Principal Qin had the right to select one candidate independently. Thus, such an arrangement could be considered fair and reasonable.

Seeing that no one else was willing to stick their neck out, Principal Qin's face gradually returned to its usual amiable smile.

However, anyone with a bit of discernment could tell that his smile at this moment was clearly feigned, merely a means to conceal his true thoughts.

Finally, Principal Qin scanned the room, and seeing no further objections, he nodded in satisfaction and said.

"Since everyone has no objections, then this matter is happily settled! Now that my goal has been achieved, I shall take my leave!"

With that, he turned and strode away, leaving a group of people behind, looking at each other in dismay.

The person who had earlier painstakingly advised Old Qin now looked at the talkative individual with a serious expression and solemnly said.

"Newcomer, listen to my advice: in our school, you can provoke anyone you want, even the esteemed Old Principal, if you dare, go ahead and try. But Old Qin, you absolutely must not touch him!"

Another person quickly echoed.

"Exactly! The other people in this school can at least reason with you, but Old Qin, he simply doesn't reason with you; he only believes in fists! If anyone offends him, they're truly in for a lot of trouble!"

Hearing this, someone else chimed in: "Today was actually good; at least Old Principal was holding him back. Otherwise, you would have already been dragged to the battle arena for a forced sparring session!"

The new Heavenly King Level Beastmaster who had just spoken out was now full of helplessness, sighing before saying.

"Alas... The main reason I spoke out was that I was worried about the students feeling dissatisfied and resentful after seeing this list."

"Besides, I really didn't expect Principal Qin Zhan, the dignified head of a school, to act in such a way..."

At this point, he shook his head slightly, seemingly unsure how to describe it.

Just then, another Heavenly King Level figure slowly spoke, his tone calm.

"Never mind, never mind. Since things have come to this, there's no point in saying more. From now on, everyone just be careful and try not to provoke Old Qin."

"If students have grievances, Old Qin will naturally resolve them. If you contradict him, he'll resolve you."

"Moreover, you don't really think Old Qin's name is Qin Zhan, do you? That's a reputation he earned years ago."

"He... his real name is Qin Mo, but truly... the person doesn't live up to the name~"
