Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 620

Chapter 620 Nightmare of a Teaching Career

What did he think?

This was definitely not what he expected at all.

Martin hung his head in shame and remained silent to the question posed to him.

“To be fair, not all blame lies with Mr. Kamp here.” Elise suddenly spoke up in a carefree manner. “We were taught to pursue the truth of any matter as part of our country’s compulsory education for 9 years. Since Mr. Kamp grew up abroad, it is normal for him to make careless mistakes every once in a while.”

“It’s good that you understand.” Martin continued, “However, I am not ignorant of the things of this country. How did that saying go again? Ah yes, even angels make mistakes. What more so for when I am but a humble teacher? However, this is still no excuse for me to commit such a blunder.”

Nevertheless, some of the students failed to suppress themselves and burst out in laughter.

Martin’s pride was affected by their laughter as though they were making light of him. His expression turned cold as he scolded the ones laughing, “What are you all laughing at? Is such a serious matter amusing to you all?”

One of the male students couldn’t watch this go on any longer. He sighed then muttered to the teacher, “Mr. Kamp, what Elise is saying is that you are but a fugitive that slipped through the net of the 9 years of compulsory education…”

The moment the student explained what Elise meant, Sheldon and Elliot stopped their tomfoolery and laughed much louder than any others before them.

Martin’s pride took another hit, which led him to lash out at Elise. “Miss Sinclair, you must think you’re so knowledgeable that you’re nit-picking on my words to take a jab at me right now!”

“Ahem—” Leon faked his cough to interrupt Martin before reminding him in a whisper, “A teacher should behave like a teacher. Control that attitude of yours!”

“Mr. Haas, I didn’t mean to lash out like that. It was all because of Elise; she thinks too highly of herself!” Martin continued to argue, “It’s true that I have misunderstood her, but it does not excuse her from speaking out of turn and humiliating a teacher!”

“Mr. Kamp, it’s best if you stop making a big deal out of everything. Is there any falsehood to what Elise had said? You have not attended 9 years of compulsory education before, have you?” Sheldon remarked, albeit in a slightly provocative tone. “Unless you are trying to say that Elise had fabricated the part where you grew up abroad?”

“That’s impossible! I am a proud citizen of Mesdra!” Martin’s arrogance rose sharply as he spoke those words.

However, this sentence had upset the entire class.

Was abandoning one’s nationality such a thing to be proud of?

Martin was quick on the uptake that the air in the room was turning from bad to worse, and so tried to move on to another topic. “Forget it. I’m not going to be bothered by these small details. Since this was all just a big misunderstanding, then let us call it a day here. Mr. Haas, let me escort you back. I still need to report to you about the students’ recent academic progress.”

“Hold it,” Elise called out to the teacher. “Mr. Kamp, I’m afraid you’re forgetting something here.”

“That’s right! Don’t think of running away now!” Sheldon gave Elliot a signal with his eyes. The two then blocked the two exits of the classroom, with one standing guard on each side.

“Sheldon! Elliot! Just what do you think you’re doing?!” Martin was furious as he slammed his hands on the table before shouting in rage, “What you’re doing now is an unlawful restriction of another’s personal freedom! Elise did not break any laws, yet here you two are trying to do so?!”

“That is true. Sheldon, Elliot, what you did was slightly out of boundaries. Go back to your seats first,” Leon said warmly.

Sheldon folded his arms in response. “We will take our seats, but I would like to remind Mr. Kamp to honor his word of resigning as the homeroom teacher. Otherwise, I will never attend another class from this school ever again!”

“Same here!” Elliot joined in.

Martin’s expression turned grim as he gritted his teeth fiercely. If looks could kill, both Sheldon and Elliot would be dead by now.
