The next morning, the teacher is furious with himself for letting Yuhao sleep in his bed the night before. He apologizes to him, but he won't admit that he was sleeping with him. The two of them share a bed together, and the teacher promises not to tell the other teacher about it. The other teacher, zhouyi, and his assistant, wangyan, arrive with the other students from the first class. The teacher announces that he cannot expel the students from his class because they are "core disciples" , meaning they are the ones who follow the teacher's instructions. He tells the students that if they try to question his decision, he will appoint a class president to do so. The students are shocked to hear that the teacher still has the authority to discipline them, and they wonder how the teacher can be so tough. The student, daihuabin, protests that he is a core student and cannot be expelled, but the teacher tells him that he can only be expelled if he is willing to listen to the other student's side of the argument with the director of the academy. .
