Chapter 389: Unsettled Aftermath
School had long ended, but the office of the dean of Star Cloud Academy was still brightly lit.
Lin Mingdao pinched the bridge of his nose and blinked hard a few times. He exhaled, picked up the cup on the table, and drank a mouthful of water. He stood up and walked around the huge dean’s office twice.
Every time he felt tired, he would use this method to relieve himself.
In the seven years he had been the dean, he had repeated this method countless times.
Of course, it was not easy to be the dean of Star Cloud Academy. The pressure of work in all aspects was enough to make ordinary people feel suffocated.
Lin Mingdao could do most of the time with ease now, but this time, he still felt very tired.
Although more than a week had passed since the ultimate arbitration, and on the surface, the commotion had already passed, the effect was actually far from fading. It could even be said to have just begun.
To most students and people who did not know the exact situation, this was only an ultimate arbitration proposed by a student. In the end, this student won. Nothing else was involved.
To be able to make one of them be transferred away because of this matter and the other choose to directly resign and retire, in the eyes of many people, the effect was already very great.
However, in Lin Mingdao’s opinion, this was only a small matter.
…
From his point of view as the dean, the most serious consequence of this matter was to shake the official prestige of the academy. Although he had made Dean Semondi and Sun Xiangren leave their positions, he could not salvage the situation.
Fortunately, up until now, this matter was still limited to Star Cloud Academy and did not spread widely.
Otherwise, just the first time in decades that a student of Star Cloud Academy proposed the ultimate arbitration was already a very sensational piece of news. It would definitely attract the attention of countless people and make the entire Star Cloud Academy suffer an even greater shock.
Thinking of this, Lin Mingdao could not help but smile bitterly.
In fact, in the beginning, he did not mind Chu Nan proposing the ultimate arbitration.
Although no student had taken this out in the past few decades, in fact, according to the rules, the higher-ups of Star Cloud Academy had the right to reject the application, making it impossible to implement this ultimate arbitration.
However, Lin Mingdao had previously learned of the existence of Chu Nan from other aspects and had some additional impressions of him. Therefore, when he knew that he was actually forced by the Martial Arts Branch to propose the ultimate arbitration, he was actually a little angry.
What was the reason for a student to be forced to choose such an almost impossible method that would greatly affect his future?
Coincidentally, Lin Mingdao was already quite dissatisfied with some of the things that Semondi had done in the Martial Arts Branch, so he planned to take the opportunity to make a fuss.
His original intention was only to warn Semondi. As for this ultimate arbitration, he definitely had to let the Martial Arts Branch win in the end. After all, protecting the prestige of the branch was something that he had to do as the leader of the academy.

As for Chu Nan… he was only an ordinary student in the end. At most, he would be compensated in the future.
However, the development of the truth exceeded everyone’s expectations and Lin Mingdao’s expectations.
Although Chu Nan’s talent was not bad, he was only an ordinary student in the end. No one had expected that he actually had a powerful ability that completely exceeded common sense. Moreover, he had clearly displayed this in front of everyone in the ultimate arbitration, causing everyone to no longer doubt him!
When Chu Nan announced that he had uploaded the ten analysis reports to the academy’s intranet, Lin Mingdao saw the dejected faces of the evaluation committee members and immediately understood that Chu Nan had already won this ultimate arbitration.
Therefore, he indeed interrupted the struggling performance of Semondi and Sun Xiangren and let this ultimate arbitration end.
As for the results of the subsequent handling of Semondi, it was only natural.
As for Sun Xiangren… Lin Mingdao actually did not plan to remove him so quickly. After all, he had worked in the Martial Arts Branch for even longer than Lin Mingdao in the academy.
However, Sun Xiangren insisted on resigning, so Lin Mingdao could only let him be.
The intense commotion of the Martial Arts Branch was still ongoing, and the effect of the entire Star Cloud Academy could not fade. However, ordinary students could not see these things.
When he recalled that these things that made his hair turn white were all caused by Chu Nan’s student, Lin Mingdao could only smile bitterly and shake his head again.
After walking around the office, he opened his personal terminal and chose to send a private communication request.
After a while, the call was picked up, and a face that many citizens of the federation were very familiar with appeared on the virtual screen.
Mu Yutong!
“Mingdao, why did you suddenly think of looking for me today?”
Mu Yutong, who always had a serious expression in the impression of others, revealed a gentle and amiable smile when he saw Lin Mingdao, as if he was a different person.
In fact, if it was someone who knew the past of the two of them, they would not feel strange when they saw this scene.
In fact, the father of the two of them had a good relationship. The two of them had been good friends who had played together since they were young. However, after he grew up, Mu Yutong chose to continue persisting in the Martial Dao and finally became a Star-Grade Martial Artist. As for Lin Mingdao, he chose to work in the education industry and finally became the dean of Star Cloud Academy.
Either of them could be considered the top figures in their respective fields, but they still maintained communication in private.
“Yutong, have you seen the martial technique analysis reports I sent you two days ago?” Lin Mingdao asked bluntly.
“I roughly glanced at it.” Mu Yutong did not seem to mind.
The things Lin Mingdao sent him involved some of the lowest F-rank martial techniques. Of course, they were not taken seriously by a Star-Grade Martial Artist like him.
If not for the fact that Lin Mingdao had personally sent it to him, he would not have even looked at it.
“What do you think… of the information inside?” Lin Mingdao asked again.
“It’s not bad. Some of the ideas inside are quite creative, but they’re actually not very meaningful. After all, they’re only some F-rank martial techniques. No matter how much I study them, I won’t be able to improve much. If I have the energy, it’s better to study more higher-level martial techniques.” Mu Yutong revealed a trace of doubt, “Did a teacher in your academy do this out of boredom?”
“No, it’s only a student.” Lin Mingdao shook his head.
“Student?” Mu Yutong was a little surprised, “Are the students of your Martial Arts Branch so free? They actually wasted their energy on these things. He has to spend at least a few years studying more than a hundred martial techniques, right?”
“No, this was developed by a new student who had just entered the academy in less than a month,” Lin Ming said seriously.
“How is this possible?” Mu Yutong widened his eyes in surprise.
Although he only roughly glanced at those analysis reports, with his powerful strength as a Star-Grade Martial Artist, he could tell at a glance that many of the things in this report could be considered very standard. It was enough to prove that the martial artist who made these reports had an extremely profound understanding of these low-level martial techniques. Moreover, some of the opinions made him involuntarily sigh in surprise.
However, they were only F-rank martial techniques after all, so his evaluation was not high.
In terms of quality, it was still very high.
He was really surprised that such a high-quality report was actually written by a student.
“Previously, a group of us also felt that it was impossible, so we made a huge mistake. However, now, this student has already proven his ability to all of us.” Lin Mingdao sighed.
Seeing Lin Mingdao’s expression, Mu Yutong frowned slightly and his heart stirred.
“Mingdao, you specially showed me these things and even deliberately mentioned them now. Could it be that this student is related to me?”
