Facing the unexpected punishment, Lucien was quite unhappy and frustrated, as he thought that he was maintaining quite a low profile and trying to avoid any possible conflicts with other teachers who did not like him. Still, now he was in trouble.
However, Lucien never gave up easily, "Sir, I’ve been receiving quite a few positive comments from my students from both Thorn Three and Blood Bird, and that proves that my way of teaching’s efficient. As you can see, my students’ scores have improved as well."
"I know," answered Donald directly, and his answer surprised Lucien.
"But you’ve still broken the rules, Lucien." Donald continued and changed his tone, "In Douglas, teachers should be authorities and should always be respected. Telling students that they don’t have to listen has severely violated our tradition. Regardless how effective your teaching method might be, the tradition of the school can never be breached. I hope you can realize your mistake, Lucien."
