Financial crisis

Alexander sat before the Academy Council

 Although all tests indicated that he had recovered from his injuries, he insisted on using a wheelchair

 This left hospital officials speechless

 This was the first time they had seen someone able to recover from such severe injuries in one night

 However, he refused to leave the hospital except in a wheelchair

 Alexander knew he would stand before the Academy Council

 He doesn't know what they want from him, but he wants to use this opportunity to get some benefits from the council

 He was trying to show them the extent of pain and suffering he went through in order to solve this case

 This is why he insists on using a wheelchair

 He tells them. 'Guys, I'm badly injured and can't walk properly, don't you think I deserve some kind of reward?'

 Alexander could notice a change in the instructors' attitude towards him

 They looked at him with appreciation and in a more positive light

 Only Frederic maintained his calm stance

 But he was not worried. He would try to open the topic calmly and then slowly convince them

 Frederic smiled and opened his mouth. "I have to admit, I didn't expect you to come up with such a genius plan."

 These words made Alexander optimistic

 It seems that even Frederic is satisfied with him, this will make things easier

 Alexander replied respectfully. "It was my duty to help the academy solve this issue that threatens the security and future of the empire."

 All the instructors nodded, satisfied with his answer

 Frederic nodded too. "In that case, I think we should end this matter." Frederic looked at Christina. "Christina, please."

 Christina hesitated for a moment, but then got up and handed the tablet to Alexander

 Alexander held the tablet with expectant eyes

 The first thing Alexander saw was the amount clearly visible on the screen

 Eight hundred thousand coins

 Alexander could hardly contain his smile

 " this?." Alexander feigned ignorance and asked Frederic

 He must not show exaggerated emotions. Otherwise, he will spoil the matter

 "This is the result of your work." Frederic answered simply

 "This!.. I don't deserve this." Alexander scratched his cheek and pretended to be embarrassed

 A strange smile appeared on Frederic's face. "Believe me, you deserve this."

 Alexander resisted the urge to scream in joy. "I will not refuse it as long as you insist."

 Frederic put his chin on his hand and said sarcastically. "So, when do you plan to pay this fine?"

 " the fine?." Alexander's smile froze

 Frederic's smile widened. "That's right. The amount in front of you is the amount of damage you caused this week."

 Alexander's gaze went blank for a moment and he returned his eyes to the tablet screen to confirm the amount

 The amount was the same

 Eight hundred thousand coins

Alexander's face turned pale. " this!."

 He couldn't understand what this old man was talking about

 Is this some kind of prank? Because it's not funny

 He looked at the instructors worriedly. 

 Please tell me it's an April Fool's joke

 Frederic continued. "You may be wondering where this fine came from. Don't worry, Christina will explain everything to you."

 Christina stood up and pointed to a giant screen mounted on the wall. "First we must talk about the damage that occurred in the first year building."

 A picture emerged of the broken walls and broken furniture of the building

 " What?!." Alexander jumped from the wheelchair to his feet and shouted angrily. "This is a scam. It was Lily who broke these things, not me."

 Frederic pointed his finger at Alexander. "But you are the one who started all of this. Therefore, you are the one who should bear responsibility for these damages."

 " I disagree!." Alexander shouted

 Frederic hit the table. "Your objection is rejected."

 Christina completed her explanation. "In addition, you must pay compensation to the students you hit."

 "..." Alexander remained silent

 Well...that was his fault

 Christina explained the damages caused by Alexander and the amount required for everything

 Alexander's face was getting darker with each coin added to the final amount

 When Christina finished explaining, she quietly returned to her seat

 Alexander was looking at the ground and clenching his hands tightly

 Even an idiot could see how angry he was

 Frederic rubbed his thick mustache upon seeing Alexander's condition and spoke slowly. "Although you caused a lot of damage, you helped us avoid a catastrophe that might threaten the academy system."

 Alexander raised his head and looked at Frederic

 He immediately realized that this man still had something to say

 Frederic got up from his seat and placed his hands on the table. "For the sacrifice you made for the academy, the academy will pay an amount of seven hundred and fifty thousand coins."

 Alexander's face did not show happiness

 On the contrary, his face was getting more annoyed

 Alexander defrauded countless people

 Therefore, he knows various strategies to deceive others

 He knew immediately that this old man had used one of these strategies

 First, this scammer shocked him with a huge amount that he could not afford

 Then he pretended that he would reduce this amount and asked him to pay the rest

 Alexander doesn't remember how many times he used this trick to blackmail others

 He never expected that he would be deceived by the same strategy he used to deceive others

 "..." Is this what is called karma?

 Frederic smiled his provocative smile. " What is your opinion?."

 Alexander smiled angrily. "I think it's a cheap trick."

Frederic responded unfazed. "You have one month to collect fifty thousand coins, otherwise the amount will be doubled."

 Alexander grinded his teeth

 This old man was testing the limits of his patience

 Frederic disappeared before Alexander could say anything

 The instructors looked at Alexander with pity

 They know the principal's bad character

 He likes to get others into trouble

 If he sets his eyes on you, you will face some problems

 Alexander turned to the nurse standing behind him. "Get me out of here before I have a heart attack."

 The corners of the nurse's mouth twitched

 Didn't you jump out of your wheelchair a few moments ago?

 The nurse shook her head and silently pushed the wheelchair

 Alexander's mood was extremely bad

 What made his mood worse were the looks of ridicule and gloating he received from the students who saw him in the wheelchair

 Especially the first year students who showed happy expressions when they saw their enemy in such a miserable state

 He did not care about these views before because he believed that he would receive a reward for his success in eliminating racism

 But now he wanted to punch the arrogant faces of these kids and teach them their true status

 Alexander exhaled hard and held back his anger

 If he goes out and attacks these students, the compensation amount will increase, and that's the last thing he wants

 He should focus on finding a way to obtain the amount of fifty thousand coins within a month. Otherwise, the amount will double, and with it, his problems will double

 Alexander's phone suddenly rang

 He took the phone out of his pocket and looked at the screen

 He took a cold breath when he saw the caller's name

 Eric
