My Idle System

Even though he was calm now, just remembering how flustered he had been moments before made him feel like dying from embarrassment.

He didn\'t like anyone entering his personal space, but his sister never cared about that, and he never got used to it, as even now, he felt a little troubled.

Shaking off his distracted thoughts, Christian tried to focus on more important things, like what had happened at the meeting. And as he reflected on it, his still somewhat agitated heart calmed even more, with a chilling atmosphere filling the room.

Thinking again about his previous plans, just some beating and broken bones didn\'t seem enough for the math teacher anymore.

He needed to do something more, as this time, the math teacher had not just disturbed his mood but also his sister\'s, the only person left in the world he truly cared about.

But then there was the assistant principal. What should he do about her?

Like even he had some bottom line, and a woman, an elder one at that, was beyond it. He couldn\'t imagine himself extending his hand against her after all.

But he wouldn\'t feel satisfied without getting at least a small amount of payback for the punishment she had given him. Which also put him in a dilemma, and that was irritating him.

Trying to think rationally and logically, he realized he would need to find some blackmail material on his math teacher through hacking any way, and he might as well search for information about her in the process, hoping to uncover something useful.

And when he had the upper hand with what he had caught, he would reconsider what to do with her again based on his findings.

…

Five days passed.

Christian, as usual, was in his room, thinking about what he had found from hacking.

But then recalling his conversation with his sister, he couldn\'t help but mutter.

"We really didn\'t need to go to the principal after all, sister. As he\'ll need to come to us instead now."

After they came back from the meeting five days ago, his sister, once she had calmed down and thought things through, came to him again and said they should go to the principal and speak with him. Because no matter how much she considered it, she felt the punishment he received was not only severe but also unfair.

Although he almost went along with her suggestion, he decided against it in the end and even convinced her to accept the suspension and move on.

Maybe talking to the principal could change something, but so what? After everything they had been through because of the math teacher and the assistant principal.

He didn\'t want his sister to go through that experience again, even if it was only a mere possibility.

He didn\'t care about the suspension anyway, not even his school record. He also had no plans to work for anyone or attend university.

His attendance at school was just to get the diploma and eventually give it to his sister. So did they really need to feel bad repeatedly for something so insignificant? Christian didn\'t think so. As even with this suspension, he would still get it anyway.

With his sister\'s little episode settled, no school to attend, and plenty of free time, Christian dedicated himself to look through many things.

After what happened in the previous meeting, Christian decided to take a small risk by hacking even more thoroughly and searched more carefully for any information he could find about the math teacher and the assistant principal.

It turned out that the math teacher and the assistant principal were not at it together in that meeting. The assistant principal was simply the strictest person regarding misconduct, social status, and punishments at the school, and the math teacher had likely just ensured that she was the one to be present with him at the meeting.

So even though she didn\'t side with him, he knew she would give a harsh punishment, and he was spot on.

And despite searching extensively for something he could use against her, Christian didn\'t find anything, at least within the school\'s scope. As she really conducted her job very skillfully and proficiently.

So he was forced to abandon his plans for her, at least for now.

But the math teacher was another case, Christian actually found two serious issues about him.

He who was the one accusing him of cheating on exams, yet was actually helping some students cheat, with one even altering his scores.

After making him feel like he had committed the most heinous crime, cheating, the math teacher was actually guilty of it himself, engaging in academic fraud.

Christian couldn\'t have been more surprised. He even began to question the reason behind making the problem so much bigger.

It even made him think that maybe the math teacher, thought he could perfect his method of helping his students cheat, by cornering and questioning him.

In the first place, getting perfect marks might seem a little suspicious, but he was still the first teacher to approach Christian. This was because he had something to gain if Christian was actually cheating and he could learn the exact method or means.

So, in conclusion, he probably approached him with impure intentions.

Although Christian didn\'t hack his bank account , as he could have received the bribes in cash, it was likely about money. That was the only reason he could be so worked up for.

Or maybe it was also because he didn\'t like him?

The most important thing now was that he found something he could use against him, and after looking into the potential punishment for this charge, it seemed quite satisfying for him.
