"Well..." Maisie hesitated on how to proceed.
The children were very young but already had a clear sense of right and wrong. As their teacher, if she couldn't
measure up to the children, how could she be a role model for them?
Maisie bit her lip and first checked on James' injuries before taking him to the school infirmary. Then, she returned
to take Persephone by the hand and headed to the office for a private conversation.
She placed Persephone in a chair in the office and squatted down in front of her.
"Sephy, I wasn't blaming you for what happened." Maisie smiled and whispered in her ear, "A girl doesn't have the
physical advantage to fight with a boy."
In an instant, the little princess' eyes lit up, filled with a mixture of surprise and emotions. Then her tears fell.
"It's alright, it's alright!" She raised her chubby little hand, trying to reassure her teacher. "I'm not hurt, and I'm

"Alright." Maisie patted her head and tidied up her disheveled hair. "Now, can you tell me the whole story of what
happened?"
Persephone perked up and began explaining in detail how James had been bullying their classmates, even lifting a
girl's skirt. She ended by proudly saying, "Ms. Maisie, don't you worry. This little matter wouldn't even be a blip in the
underworld!"
Maisie couldn't help but chuckle. She knew Persephone was close to her grandfather, and her grandfather was
none other than the famous Nicholas Thompson. Under such guidance, it was easy to imagine what kind of person
she would grow into.
"So, besides fighting with him, have you used other ways to support your classmates?" Maisie asked.
"Of course!" Persephone said honestly. "I made all of them ignore him!"
"You... isolated him?"
Persephone pouted, furrowing her brow in confusion. She didn't quite understand what 'isolating' meant. However,
since the teacher said so, it must be right!
"Yes, I isolated him. Is that a problem? My grandpa said that we shouldn't play with little rascals like him!"
Maisie was at a loss for words and didn't know whether to cry or laugh. While James had certainly been
misbehaving, Persephone's recent physical altercation with him wasn't exactly justifiable. She had lost the moral
high ground she previously held by fighting with him.
This was exactly what Maisie was most worried about. She took a deep breath and decided to send Persephone
home and then discuss how to deal with James with Ruth.
However, Zuko was currently accompanying Lina for a prenatal check-up and couldn't pick up the child. Zephyr and
Cordelia had gone on vacation to Southeast Aciatic, leaving Centrolis.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaisie had no choice but to contact Daniel, and together, they took Persephone to the Thompson residence.
As soon as they entered, they saw Nicholas running over, nervously inquiring whether his precious granddaughter
had been hurt and whether the opponent was powerful or used any special martial arts techniques.
Linda gave a heavy cough, and Nicholas stopped his prattling.
She looked up at Maisie and Daniel. These two already gave her enough headaches, and now they were
accompanied by Persephone. She couldn't help but wonder about James' background and the support behind him.
Linda rubbed her temples and politely asked Maisie to briefly explain the situation.
Maisie recounted it while Daniel couldn't hold back his laughter.
Linda coughed again to ensure her blood pressure was still within normal range.
"Sephy, a girl shouldn't be fighting outside. It's not proper," she tried to counsel her granddaughter.
Persephone was quick to respond. "Grandpa said women can also have a place in the underworld!"
Linda was baffled. "But... it's not right for you to insult someone. You shouldn't call your classmate a little rascal."
"I haven't even called him a mongrel yet!"
"Who taught you that?!"
