He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Mr. Flynn, and as he met Mr. Flynn’s gaze, a hint of confusion emerged appropriately. Mr. Flynn curled his lips, his face inscrutable. "Oliver, that Mechanical Box, did Marcus Shaw fix it?" Anastasia adjusted her glasses and asked Oliver sternly. Oliver was about to nod when Anastasia spoke sharply, "I know you’re kind-hearted and don’t mind these things, but let’s be honest, some people aren’t worth covering up for." The implication was undoubtedly that the Mechanical Box hadn’t been fixed, and if Oliver confirmed it, it would be as if his kind heart was giving Marcus Shaw an excuse. Oliver was stunned by Anastasia’s resolute attitude. So this teacher fundamentally didn’t believe Marcus Shaw could fix the Mechanical Box? "Could Ms. Wang have misunderstood something?" Mr. Flynn stepped forward, blocking Marcus Shaw, greeted Anastasia’s aggressive gaze with a smile, and said, "I know about the Mechanical Box too. I heard he fixed it last week. He even brought it to school for their team to study." An unexpected response. Anastasia’s face stiffened, showing some discomfort, "Wasn’t it said that it couldn’t be fixed?" Mr. Flynn asked with a smile, "Who did Ms. Wang hear that from?" Anastasia’s lips twitched slightly, but she didn’t speak. When the parents were called, after Nora Scott and Marcus Shaw left, the office was filled with discussions. Some teachers who had examined that Mechanical Box analyzed it required professional knowledge, and even they couldn’t guarantee it could be repaired, let alone Marcus Shaw. The implication was Marcus Shaw couldn’t fix it. Marcus Shaw’s grades were mediocre, and except for fighting, he didn’t have any strengths; in Anastasia’s view, he was utterly useless. Naturally, she sentenced Marcus Shaw without seeing the results. Oliver glanced at Marcus Shaw standing quietly to the side, his expression indifferent, and offered to help, "Ms. Wang, Marcus Shaw really fixed it. If you don’t believe it, I can bring it to school tomorrow." With two people saying the same thing, Anastasia realized there was little room for doubt, although she wondered how Marcus Shaw repaired it. Clearly, she couldn’t use this matter to make an issue anymore. "No, no need. As long as it’s fixed." Anastasia adjusted her glasses, trying to appear calm and serious, though her confidence was weakened. "By the way, Ms. Wang," Mr. Flynn said warmly, patting Marcus Shaw’s shoulder, "You know about Oliver’s team participating in the IS Robotics Competition. The team has always been short of computer talent, and previously they discussed with Marcus Shaw. Our team hopes Marcus Shaw can join, but Marcus Shaw prioritizes his studies and didn’t agree, so we didn’t mention it earlier—" A slew of pretentious, flattering words, after which Anastasia, Marcus Shaw, and Oliver all focused their attention on Mr. Flynn. Their gazes carried different meanings. Anastasia was simply shocked, Oliver was frustrated never having heard about this, and as for Marcus Shaw... purely because of Mr. Flynn’s ability to spin tales. Pausing for a moment, Mr. Flynn’s smile grew gentler, "With Marcus Shaw’s consent, starting today, he will join our team to conduct robotic research together." Anastasia was stunned for a few seconds. Then her questioning gaze swept over Marcus Shaw several times, and she asked in a doubtful tone, "Him?" With that, the faces of all three present changed slightly. Marcus Shaw lifted his eyelids, still indifferent; Oliver furrowed his brow, clearly annoyed by Anastasia’s doubt; and as for Mr. Flynn, after a moment, his Spring-like smile cooled a bit. "Ms. Wang, as a class teacher, it’s surprising you aren’t aware of Marcus Shaw’s capabilities; it seems a bit negligent." Mr. Flynn’s tone was chilly, albeit politely phrased, but Anastasia could still keenly detect the dissatisfaction. Anastasia pursed her lips. This Mr. Flynn, coming from Fenton University, later went abroad for his master’s and doctorate degrees, and after returning home, he plunged into the nation’s education sector. He is reliable in professional knowledge, has fine features, and his personality is popular among parents, teachers, and students. It’s said his family background is also unusual. Anastasia was first humiliated because of the Mechanical Box matter and then subtly ridiculed by Mr. Flynn. She felt unwilling to take it lying down but dared not confront Mr. Flynn openly. She could only swallow her pride. At that moment, the class bell rang, dispersing the awkward atmosphere enveloping the four. Mr. Flynn turned around, his expression easing a bit, "Class is starting. You two quickly get into the classroom. We’ll have a short meeting after school. Captain Scott, organize it." Oliver nodded, walked to Marcus Shaw’s side, pulled his arm, and gave him a look.
