Bei Bei lowered his voice: "Although Teacher Zhou is strict, she is indeed a capable teacher. There isn't a single student who has persisted in her class who doesn't speak well of her."
He paused, gathering his thoughts: "Teacher Zhou's strictness is mainly reflected in her high standards for students and her unique teaching methods. According to statistics, among the students who have been taught by her and successfully advanced, nearly one-quarter eventually entered the Inner Court. This figure is among the best in the entire academy. This time, it was because the commotion was too great that she was transferred to the freshman year. But as long as you are hardworking and excellent enough, you can indeed gain a lot of improvement under Teacher Zhou's guidance."
Furina shook her head slightly, her lips curling with a trace of mockery: "Isn't this typical survivorship bias? The students who have been tamed by her will naturally be kept, and they certainly won't speak ill of her. By kicking out all the disobedient and underperforming students, the advancement rate will naturally go up."
Her analysis hit the nail on the head, making Tang Ya nod in sudden realization.
Bei Bei's expression suddenly became somewhat complicated. He looked at Furina, wanting to say something but stopping. He had to admit that Furina could always point out the essence of a problem, and every time, she could say it in a way that left others unable to refute.
"In my opinion, expelling students at will is a wrong choice in itself." Furina continued, her voice gradually becoming more serious: "If she were truly an excellent teacher, I believe that even the worst student could grow into an existence no less than an average Genius under her. But clearly, she hasn't achieved that." Her gaze looked toward the direction of the teaching building in the distance, as if she could penetrate the walls to see the teacher she had never met.
"In my previous understanding, a truly good teacher never easily gives up on any student. Even for the worst students, they would do their best to help them." Furina's tone carried nostalgia, but also firmness: "Since she is my teacher now, I must give her a good lesson on what true education is."
Huo Yuhao listened quietly, a light of agreement flickering in his eyes, and he clapped softly. Tang Ya clapped even more excitedly: "Go for it! I've long found that old hag Zhou Yi an eyesore!"
Bei Bei sighed helplessly: "Sigh, I don't know what to say anymore. Just do as you think. I will use my connections to ensure you won't be expelled by Teacher Zhou." His tone was sincere, carrying a bit of worry: "After all, Geniuses like you and Huo Yuhao are indeed rare in Shrek Academy. If we lost you, it would be a huge loss for the academy."
In fact, Bei Bei was already calculating in his heart whether to tell the Profound Ancestor, Elder Mu, about the situation of Furina and Huo Yuhao, and ask this respected elder to pay more attention. After all, such Geniuses were indeed rare. He knew clearly that if Furina dropped out, Huo Yuhao would undoubtedly follow her without hesitation. The time spent together these days had made it clear to him that Huo Yuhao was like Furina's most loyal follower; if Furina said to go east, he would never go west.
"Thank you for your kindness." Furina nodded slightly, her tone carrying sincere gratitude.
Huo Yuhao also followed up with thanks: "Thank you, Senior Bei Bei."
The sunset had completely sunk below the horizon, and only a faint afterglow remained in the sky. The four stood in front of the bulletin board, each with their own thoughts. For the upcoming new semester, a look of anticipation flickered in Furina's eyes, as if she were ready to stir up a different kind of storm in this famous academy.
Huo Yuhao stood quietly by Furina's side, his gaze firm, clearly ready to support her at any time. Tang Ya was still excitedly planning how to watch the show, while Bei Bei was calculating in his heart how to ensure these two talented students could successfully stay in the academy.
