15 Expelled from WAX (Edited)

-- Director office --

Teacher An and Doctor Chen along with the other faculty members were standing before the director's room. Once the Math Teacher was done with his mysterious phone call, he slipped into the crowd without being noticed.

A woman in her late 50s stood up from behind her desk in front of the Director's door. As Miss. Xiao's secretary, she knew what was going on before anyone else had a clue. Smiling at everyone in a cold, detached way, she invited them all to enter the Director's office. "Miss. Xiao is waiting for you," she said as she guided the people into the room,

Inside the room, there were several posters on the walls which showcase the members of WAX. Each one briefly describes each student's main abilities and functions as well as any important information. The room was also filled with an elite design, on the desk there a laptop that displayed the whole campus.

Doctor Chen placed a photocopy of the report on the Director's desk and turned to leave the room while the others stood there without moving a muscle.

Xiao Ran had a dark aura as she looked at the report and then lifted her head up to see her faculty. "When did you guys find the courage to make decisions such as this?".

One of the Teachers tentatively stepped forward and said, "Director, we had heard that you would not be available at this time, so we took it upon ourselves...".

'...Smash... Smash', the sound of glass shattering as it was thrown against a wall echoed in the room.

"Are you treating me as a fool? Just because you are all WAX faculty members you thought you could go over my head with something as important as this without even bothering to give me a call?!? I will give each and every one of you one warning...don't provoke my temper," Xiao Ran voice filled the room like a roar, causing the teachers to tremble with fear.

Xiao Ran looked at each and every one of the people standing in her office as she continued. "Teacher An, find me the source of this rumour, I will give you three days. You also need to give me the list of students present in your office for the show."

Teacher An was able to guess the seriousness of the issue since there were so many rules against creating rumors in the Institute, to do so was suicide. "Yes, Director Xiao."

Xiao Ran stood up from behind her desk and walked towards the window, "The girl who acted like a maniac, what's her name?"

"That is Miss. Fan Daiyu," Advisor Yu had already a folder in his hands containing all of the personal information of Fan Daiyu. He quickly handed it over to the Director.

Not bothering to look through it, Xiao Ran threw it on her desk. " Expel her immediately and give a warning for those who supported this," she snapped her fingers and looked at each of the teachers in the eyes. " Cut the internal marks to 49%."

In WAX, the internal mark is very important for every student. For them, to have an internal mark of 80% would result in the WAX student being below average by any other recognized Universities, and now, with 49% being taken away, a student with only 51% of the internal mark would be considered as border pass, no matter how much one score in public exam.

All of a sudden, the Math Teacher remembered Wei Wan and got scared. If she lost 49% of the internal mark, then she would not be able to pass the WAX final exams. "That's ridiculous, you can't do that to the students, it's their right to protest".

Xiao Ran had been known for being a dictator, and so she was not overly concerned about the opinions of others. "Oh really? Then give their family a warning letter along with the full details". Hearing her casual remark, everyone shut their mouths and swallowed the words they were prepared to speak.

"Out." As soon as she said the word, the WAX faculty member quickly shuffled out of the room, not daring to even look at Xiao Ran in case she was going to punish them.

As they filed out, Teacher An discreetly gave a nod to Advisor Yu.

Xiao Ran hardly went to WAX, but today she felt that the rumor was not simply to discredit the Yue family's daughter. There must have been something more behind it.

"Aunt Yu, call Grandpa and tell that we will have dinner together," Advisor Yu knew Xiao Ran's temper and thought that she specifically used term Aunt to show the seriousness of the matter.

"Of course Princess Xiao".

-- Inside the classroom --

Wei Wan tried to focus on the exam, but she was not able to. She had completely forgotten about Fan Daiyu once the Director appeared and now she was wondering how things had played out. Wei Wan firmly believed that no matter what happened, she would not let Yue Wan attended the exam. Her plan was flawless, and yet, now she is looking at Yue Wan who was calmly taking the exam in front of her.

'No no no... I have to get onto that selection list!' With her grudge against Yue Wan, Wei Wan took this exam seriously, but she never would have thought that her plan would lead her into taking a loss of 49% of her internal mark.

On the other hand, Yue Wan carefully picked out the answer on her exam sheet and moved quickly onto the next question. 'I will make daddy and big brother proud. They helped me out a lot today.'

However, what she did not know what that there was someone in the shadows that helped her out, even more, someone that was not even present in the room.

When Fan Daiyu was making up her rubbish story, she felt like she was being observed by someone that she could not pinpoint. She also guessed that Xiao Ran lied about watching the CCTV live. Someone other than her brother was cooperating with her plan, but who?'.

-- With Fan Daiyu--

In the Teacher's Lounge, Fan Daiyu was held down by the Institutes' security guards. When Mr. An had lead everyone back to class, she was left behind and now it was more than 45 min into the exam. However, that didn't matter anyway, since she wouldn't be able to guess the answers in the first place.

'How could Yue Wan escape?' She asked herself as she bit her nails nervously. Due to the loss of her battle with Yue Wan, had she forgotten about the basic rules of the school? Suddenly she heard a telephone ring, looking around she saw that it was the phone on Mr. An's table. 'who might that be?' she asked herself.

The Math Teacher, who had just arrived, took the call. "Hello, this WAX Academy, 4th year Math Teacher speaking."

His expression turned ashen quickly. "What? Are you sure? Ok. I will inform her."

Fan Daiyu couldn't control her curiosity so she asked him, "What happened, Sir?"

Before the Math Teacher could respond to her question, a voice sounded out from the doorway. "You shouldn't be answering my calls, Math teacher." Teacher An wanted to hit this dumb man.

"I am sorry Mr. An, but it's really important. Miss Yue's father got hit by a car and is severely wounded", Math Teacher said, sounding very distressed.

However, Teacher An, who had just finished being lashed out by Miss. Xiao, didn't want to anger that woman again. Cocking his head, he looked at the Math Teacher as if he was a very disappointing student. "Oh? Did you confirm this with the police? Did you contact the hospital as soon as you heard the news? On such an important day, you need to make sure that the information you are spreading is a fact… otherwise, it is just considered to be a rumour, and we wouldn't want another one of those spreading around the school."

"Well, I, -- I -- didn't, but we should inform Miss. Yue first. She needs to know that her father is injured as soon as possible," the Math Teacher said nervously, his eyes darting all over the room and landing on the only exit, the door that Teacher An was currently leaning on.

Teacher An smiled. A child could read his motive. Crossing his arms, Teacher An smiled as got more comfortable in his position in front of the door. "The exam has still 25 minutes left and there is no proof that Mr. Yue is indeed injured, so we will wait the remaining time and inform Yue Wan after she is done. Don't worry, I will take responsibility should the rumour be true."

Teacher An then called Advisor Yu and informed her of what was going on. After two minutes, his cell rang with her reply. Smiling, he hung up and looked at the Math Teacher.

Fan Daiyu smirked to herself, glad that finally, God had helped her. At least Yue Wan would leave without completing the exam. However, Mr.An's was quite wicked. "Teacher An, although I hate Yue Wan, I don't think it is good to keep her in the dark about her father. If you want, I can go and let her know what has happened."

First Fan Daiyu wanted to inform Yue Wan about her dad's critical condition and second if Yue Wan insisted on taking the exam, she would be accused of being unfilial. As far as Fan Daiyu was concerned, it was a win-win for her.

"You don't have to, it was confirmed just now to be a fake call. I have already verified with Director and she said that she would personally handle everything. I believe that she has already informed police about this call and is wanting to press charges against the person who is intentionally creating chaos inside of WAX. I am sure that they will be able to find the culprit soon," Mr.An said with confidence.

Before leaving the room, he glanced at the corner and said, "Oh, Miss. Fan, you were officially expelled more than 15 minutes ago. I request that you leave the campus immediately and not return."

Fan Daiyu dropped down to her knees with bulged eyes she screamed, "WHAT!!".
