In the Headmaster's Office, Headmaster Chen clasped his hands together and rested his head on them as he stared at the letter of challenge on his desk. "Has the situation been clearly investigated?"

"Yes, Headmaster Chen. Shadow Stream's seal is very unique. After it was appraised by the cultivation police department, they confirmed that it was Shadow Stream who sent this letter of challenge." Director Shi frowned. To be honest, she also had never imagined that Shadow Stream would grandly throw down the gauntlet against a high school, and threaten to complete the plan of assassinating Student Lotus Sun inside the school as revenge for the matter in the Xiao Family Compound that day.

"It appears that the situation has become more troublesome." Headmaster Chen lit a cigarette and took a short puff.

"If Shadow Stream sends enough strong experts, it will be very difficult for us to curb their movements with our current faculty's strength... Student Lotus Sun is in great danger."

"So, what do the higher-ups mean to do now?"

"They want us to first let Student Lotus Sun take leave from school for her protection, and then apply to the General Administration of 100 Schools to comprehensively upgrade the school's security measures in the short term."

"Director Shi, do you know how long it is to the next 100 Schools council?"

"It's about a month away..."

"There are altogether twelve districts and thirty-six regular senior high schools in Songhai city. Currently, we are the third of the three main regular high schools in Peiyuan district."

Director Shi: "..." It was already a completely normal state of affairs for No. 60 High School to be at the bottom of everything.

Headmaster Chen sighed. "If we accept what the higher-ups are suggesting, it's the same as saying that our school leaders are incapable. And if those two geezers at No. 58 High School and No. 59 High School want to stir up trouble, they'll use this matter to kick up a big fuss, and we'll be further and further away from becoming a key city senior high school..."

"So... what do you mean, Lord Headmaster?"

"Our overall faculty may not be strong, but! We still have one powerful comrade!" Headmaster Chen thought for a while, then stubbed out the cigarette. "I don't care what kind of measures Huaguo Water Curtain Group and the cultivation police will take to protect Student Lotus Sun when she is outside the school. But we have to take full responsibility for security measures inside the school, and we must make sure she is perfectly safe."

"Then... what should we do now?"

"Reject the higher-ups' suggestion that she should take leave from school, and have Student Lotus Sun brought to the independent classroom; it'll be enough to have that person stay to protect her. Tell the higher-ups that if Student Lotus Sun loses even a single strand of hair, they can have my head!"

Headmaster Chen said with a wintry smile, "Shadow Stream is nothing more than a bunch of second-rate, back-alley hoodlums. If they dare come, we'll f**k them over!"

Director Shi broke out in a cold sweat. "..." Of course, she knew which teacher Headmaster Chen was talking about... but she thought it was too much like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut if they really sent that person to protect Lotus Sun personally.

...

Not long after Shadow Stream threw down that assassination gauntlet, No. 60 High School immediately took steps to fully protect Student Lotus Sun, and directly moved her desk to the Teacher's Office.
