Chapter 604 NIRV Block
A solid hit had been delivered by Mr. Crowley, and it looked like he might have forgotten to hold back a little. After all, he was an Altered and James was just a regular human. It was why it came as no surprise when James was unable to get back up from the floor, he had passed out, and the other NIRV employees stood there like deer in the headlights.
"Gary, you did nothing wrong, that crystal was your reward so don't worry, I will make sure nothing happens to you. The lesson is over, so head back to your dormitory and get some rest." Crowley ordered.
Gary did as asked and started to leave the special lesson area, they would need Crowley to take them through the maze of tunnels anyway so they could only really exit from this room.
While leaving, Gary couldn't help but think that Mr. Crowley was pretty cool back there.
'He's a good person and a good teacher.' Gary thought. 'Without him, I wonder how NIRV would have reacted?'
A little while later and Mr. Crowley took them back as normal, there was no speaking and all of the students were afraid to talk. Just before leaving, he had a final message to give them.
"There will be no special lesson next week." Crowley stated. "All students are to participate in the assessment. I wish you all good luck, and I'm sure you already know, if you manage to impress and become a debut student, then you will no longer take part in the special lessons, which I think is the best for all of you."
Heading back to their dormitory, Gary and Numba couldn't help but talk about what happened.
"I wonder, will something happen to Mr. Crowley, I mean he hit a NIRV employee who sponsors the AFA and also the whole special lesson thing in the first place. It's quite possible that he could get fired."
Gary hadn't thought of this, and if Mr. Crowley was to get fired because of his actions, he would feel extremely bad about it.
"Think about it as well, with NIRV's connections they could probably make sure he never gets a teaching job again in any academy." Numba continued.
His words were just making Gary worry more and more.
"Anyway, what made you eat that crystal in the first place?" Numba asked. "Is that something..." He looked left and right before placing his hand to cover his mouth and whispered. "A werewolf does?"
"I think so, it was a bit of instinct." Gary stated, it was already enough that Numba knew he was a werewolf, there was no need to tell him about the system stuff.
When Gary was in his own in his room, he thought his last lesson was quite the experience, but he also couldn't help thinking about what Numba said.
'Will he really lose his job… they can't kick him out for just doing the right thing, right?'
Just in case, Gary decided to send a text to a certain someone, as he had come up with an idea, just in case.
———
Unfortunately, things moved far quicker than anyone could imagine, and Numba's guess was right on the mark. It was only about an hour or so later that evening after the special lesson.
Mr. Crowley had been called into a meeting with the professors. The professors had high positions in the academy and ran most of what went on day to day, but they were not the principal nor were they the ones behind the academy in the first place.
As soon as Crowley entered the office, the look on their faces said it all.
"Please do not have that pained look on your face." Crowley said, with his hands held behind his back, his head held high. "All I have to say is everything that I did, it was without regret. As for you three, I know you would have fought for my position as hard as you could."
The speech had caused a lump to appear in all three of the old men's throats.
"You have always cared for the students, and as a teacher it is nothing less than what we could have asked for." Humfree stated. "Unfortunately, the ones that you angered this time, they are too far above us.
"One note though, we did manage to stop them from causing any action to the student Gary. However, due to you laying hands…"
Crowley raised his hand, as he already expected this would happen, just not this fast.
"I will be okay."
——
The next day had arrived and Crowley had left as soon as that, he went to the nearby tier 3 city where his home was, wondering just what he was going to do now.
Of course, he soon got on his laptop, and started to apply for other academies. There were plenty of Altered academies in the country, maybe some abroad that he could attend if need be.
Sure they weren't as prestigious as the AFA, but with his resume, he should easily get offers. They would be coming to him.
Soon though, emails started to come back, and each of them said the same thing. After reading one, after the other, the positive attitude Crowley had was starting to fade away.
'Is this NIRV's power, all of them are rejections, not even a telephone interview.' Crowley thought. 'I guess it makes sense, no one would be crazy enough to hire me and go against NIRV. Does that mean I have to give up becoming a teacher?'
Thinking about this, in the end, Crowley bit the bullet and in the Tier-3 city he was in, he decided to apply to become a regular combat instructor, and there was some level of success, as he was given a face to face interview.
A few hours later, he received a call stating that his interview was cancelled and they would no longer be processing his application.
'Will I even be able to get a job at this rate? What, did that damned James tell every corporation not to hire me? What a petty bastard, I bet even if I did get hired, that he would find out where I worked and tell them to fire me.
'What am I meant to do, how am I meant to live?'
The worrinness of an adult was starting to set in, both his hands were dragging his face down, but he soon could see a call coming to his number.
'I put my resume online, maybe that's someone contacting me!' Crowley thought as he immediately answered the phone.
"Hello there, am I speaking to Mr. Crowley?" The speaker asked.
"Yes, Mr. Crowley speaking, I am free to talk."
"Excellent. Mr. Crowley, my name is Kai, and I'm speaking to you from the Howlers corporation. I have a very interesting offer to make you."
