In the Grade Director’s office, Twilight Sparkle and Sour Sweet stood here, faces bruised and swollen, glaring at each other with mutual dislike.
Meanwhile, Director Cadance was currently being reprimanded by Principal Principal in the Principal’s office.
After an unknown amount of time, Director Cadance finally returned.
Director Cadance first looked helplessly at Twilight Sparkle, then at Sour Sweet.
She immediately adopted the authoritative demeanor of a Grade Director and began questioning them.
“Twilight Sparkle, I recall the school rules state that bringing pets to school is prohibited. Why did you bring a pet dog to school?”
“Director, the research project I’m currently working on is a social life experiment on the emotional bonds between humans and animals and their use in psychological therapy. Spike isn’t a pet dog I brought; he is my research subject. The project was almost complete, but then Sour Sweet kicked him so hard. If she had accidentally kicked Spike to death, all my hard work would have been wasted.”
“You…”
Although Twilight Sparkle’s retort left Director Cadance momentarily speechless, she was also somewhat relieved that Twilight Sparkle’s mind was so quick.
The Surveillance Cameras weren’t just for show.
The footage clearly showed that Sour Sweet had struck first.
So, now it was just a matter of delivering a simple reprimand.
“Even so, you should have had him on a Leash. Fortunately, Sour Sweet’s shoes were sturdy enough, otherwise she would have needed a Rabies Vaccine. However, no matter what, the primary fault lies with Sour Sweet. Sour Sweet, you need to apologize to Twilight Sparkle.”
Cadance fixed Sour Sweet with a very stern gaze, her aura so intense it seemed to drop the temperature in the room by several degrees.
“I… I’m sorry.”
“I didn’t hear that.”
“I…”
Sour Sweet truly hadn’t expected Twilight Sparkle to respond like that.
She was about to confront Twilight Sparkle again when she caught sight of the fierce, ruthless glint in Twilight Sparkle’s eyes behind her glasses.
That look reminded Sour Sweet of her own father…
“I… I’m sorry… I was wrong. I hope you can forgive me.”
Seeing this, Twilight Sparkle didn’t press the issue further and forgave Sour Sweet for her recklessness.
At the same time, Twilight Sparkle’s father, Night Light, and Sour Sweet’s father arrived.
As expected, Twilight Sparkle and Sour Sweet couldn’t avoid another lecture.
However, although Twilight Sparkle kept apologizing, she seemed to be getting along quite harmoniously with her father.
In contrast, Sour Sweet was continuously being scolded.
The way her father was going at it, if this weren’t a school, it seemed like he might have started hitting her.
“Teacher, I will discipline Sour Sweet properly. I’m truly sorry for troubling you with this.”
“It’s fine, the children have already apologized. Sour Sweet’s parent, please take your child home for now.”
“Ah, right away.”
Sour Sweet’s father left, pulling Sour Sweet along with an apologetic smile.
Sour Sweet’s eyes were utterly lifeless, and Twilight Sparkle saw it all.
For some reason, Twilight Sparkle now found herself starting to worry about Sour Sweet.
“Twilight’s parent, aside from the issue of Twilight getting into a fight, there’s another matter I need to discuss with you regarding your son, Shining Armor.”
“Huh? What’s wrong with my son?”
When Night Light heard Director Cadence mention a problem with his son, he felt a headache coming on.
Compared to his daughter, this son of his was far too much of a troublemaker.
Night Light had been constantly worried about Shining Armor’s antics.
Had that kid gotten into trouble again?
“Director, just tell me what wrong that rascal has done this time. I’ll teach him a lesson.”
“Twilight’s parent, are you aware that your son is involved in a puppy love relationship?”
“Pfft! Cough, cough…”
When Director Cadance mentioned Shining Armor’s puppy love, Twilight Sparkle almost choked to death on her own saliva.
Puppy love?
If she wasn’t mistaken, wasn’t it the Director who actively pursued Shining Armor? Find the original chapter at g.com.
It was one thing to say this in front of her future father-in-law, but the key point was that she, Twilight Sparkle, was right here!
Night Light first looked at his daughter with confusion, then turned his gaze back to Director Cadence.
“Oh? That rascal is in puppy love? Well then… I understand.”
“Huh? Twilight’s parent, is ‘I understand’ all you have to say? Do you know Shining Armor is about to take the College Entrance Exams? And at this critical juncture, he’s involved in puppy love. For a student to be in a puppy love relationship, do you think that’s appropriate?”
“Yes, yes, teacher, I appreciate your concern.”
Night Light was still maintaining an apologetic smile, but Director Cadance was getting more and more agitated.
Meanwhile, Twilight Sparkle was finding it harder and harder not to laugh, struggling to hold it in.
“Shining Armor’s parent, how much more concern can I show? I’ve advised him, talked to him, scolded him. But it’s completely useless. If he continues like this, he’ll ruin himself.”
As Director Cadance spoke these words, Twilight Sparkle, who had already had a purple complexion, turned an even deeper shade of purple from the immense effort of suppressing her laughter.
But at this moment, Night Light immediately retorted.
“Teacher, what you’re saying isn’t right. My son was never a top student to begin with, and I believe a good relationship won’t ruin my son. Yearning for love during adolescence is a normal behavior. My son is just in a puppy love relationship; it’s not like he’s committed some grave sin, right? It’s just one exam. A person’s entire life isn’t determined by a single test paper, teacher. Aren’t you making a bit too much of a fuss? Even if my son doesn’t do well on the exam, as long as he grows up to be a good person, I, as his father, will be proud of him.”
Night Light spoke with great conviction here, the previous apologetic smile completely gone from his face.
Director Cadance’s face was nearly red with anger.
“Twilight’s parent, do you truly not care about your child’s academic performance?”
“Of course I care. But I care more about my son’s feelings. Even if I stopped him from dating, would that guarantee he’d become the Top Scorer? If it’s a good relationship, dating won’t ruin my son. Instead, they might motivate each other, striving to become better and create a better life for one another.”
“So, you’re saying you won’t do anything about your son’s puppy love, is that it? You won’t intervene at all?”
“What do you mean I won’t do anything, I won’t intervene? Of course I’ll intervene. This weekend, I’ll have that kid of mine bring his girlfriend home. I’ll cook myself; whatever the young lady likes to eat, she’ll get.”
As Night Light said this, he even burst out laughing, clearly looking forward to the scene of his son bringing a girlfriend home.
And right at that moment, Director Cadance’s face turned slightly red.
Night Light finally noticed the awkward atmosphere in the room.
“Ahem, well… Uncle, I like Ham Pizza.”
“Huh?… What!??”
