"I didn't use a stone on him. He hit his head on his own!" Gino defended himself.
However, Hera's focus was elsewhere.
"So it was you who started the fight? And you lost?"
Gino remained silent.
"How embarrassing," Hera remarked.
"Go back and ask Mommy to enroll you in a martial arts class."
Gino's head snapped up in surprise as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard.
Not only Gino but Violet and Quincey were also astonished by Hera's approach to educating him.
They couldn't believe that Hera was encouraging him to make mistakes without learning from them, even supporting him to learn martial arts. It was as if she were preparing him for another fight next time.
"Oh my! Kids from the poor countryside are so barbaric! Are they planning to get into another fight?"
Yana exaggeratedly remarked, "Ms. Woodwick, I think students who stir up trouble like this should be expelled!"
"Well..." Violet was somewhat conflicted.
Gino was in first-grade Class A, while Eugene was in third-grade Class K. Their futures were clearly different.
Moreover, Violet had heard that Eugene often caused trouble at school. The fact that they engaged in violence together implied it wasn't a one-sided conflict, and it wasn't certain who had suffered worse injuries.
However, Gino and Hera's influence was weaker than the Ergols with the Everett family's bankruptcy. However, the stubborn Gino turned a situation that could have been resolved amicably into this mess.
"Why should I be expelled? If anyone should be expelled, it's this fatso!"
Gino was anxious at the thought of being expelled.
"I got in here on my own merit, not through connections like you—"
