Chapter 574 Despite the excruciating pain, Joyce pushed herself to stand up.
Jerome watched her, feeling a bit heartbroken. He whistled and said, âBack to the line.â
*Jerome, getting soft already? The class isnât even over yet!â Roger was all laughs, playfully slapping Jerome on the shoulder, âDonât blame my students later if yours arenât up to snuff. Weâre all about peace and love here, right?â
Jerome shrugged off his hand, clearly peeved.
âPeace and loveâ was as just a saying to them. This was clearly a private vendetta, making a mockery of his students!
Roger, acting like nothing happened, turned to his students with a smile, âSee that, guys? Not only does this class toughen you up, it also teaches you how to protect yourself. So work hard, or youâll end up being the cautionary tale.â
Finishing his sentence, he pointed at Joyce, who was at that point struggling to stand up to save face for her class.
âSeriously?â A few guys from Arabellaâs class started grumbling. Joyce was knocked down to this state and yet was used as a warning example.
âJoyce, are you alright? After the match, Mya and Kelly hurriedly rushed to assist Joyce.
Arabella noticed that Joyceâs injuries were pretty serious. Noreen must have done it on purpose.
âNoreen, back to the line, Roger was about to whistle when he heard a voice.
âExcuse me, Arabella stood up, looking lazily at Noreen, âTâd like to test Noreenâs strength.â
Taken aback, Roger turned to Arabella, âOh, weâve got another brave one?â
âWell, a tough teacher breeds competitive students, right? And you think youâve got the chops for it? Looking so frail, can you even stand a chance?â Upon seeing Arabella standing, Jerome was somewhat speechless.
While standing up for her classmate was commendable, he remembered her boxing skills from their practice, which were obviously not up to par Was she just asking for a beating?
Jerome cleared his throat and whispered to Arabella, âBetter to compete when youâre well-prepared. No need to rush.â
âI can handle it,â Confidence filled Arabellaâs eyes, she was clearly a fighter.
Roger couldnât help but tease, âJerome, are you teaching your students to dodge a fight? That doesnât sound like you.â
Male students from Arabellaâs class chimed in.
âYou guys, this is our straight-Aâs Arabella, youâll see!â
âArabella, kick her ass, teach her a lesson!â
âArabella, donât hold back, beat her down!â
Cheers and encouragement spread among the classmates.
Roger and Jerome were surprised to learn that the elegant and proud girl in front of them was the rumored straight-A student.
A top student and so gorgeous?
If she got hit and hurt her face, that wouldnât be great.
Upon hearing âstraight-As, Noreen realized she was the one Serena had mentioned previously.
âLooks so full of herself! Iâll give her a warm welcome with my fists!â
Watching Arabella stepping towards Noreen, Jerome could only whisper a reminder, âDonât push yourself too hard, Iâll call it off if necessaryâ Call it off? Not a chance
