Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

"Ms. Lee, let me make this clear: my students aren't failures. Each one of them has their own strengths, and they're all exceptional in their own way. If you keep using those insulting words to describe them, I'll have to bring this up with Mr. Garcia and let him see for himself."

Keaton was known for being easygoing and rarely losing his temper, earning him the reputation of being a pushover. That's why people felt they could push him around. But when Megan saw him genuinely upset for the first time, she was a bit taken aback.

Still, she was used to getting her way and didn't want to back down. Another teacher quickly pulled her aside, "Come on, Ms. Lee, there's no need to argue with Mr. Keaton. He's an amazing teacher; he's guided several top students, including a national top scorer from twenty years ago. That student's name is still proudly displayed on the school's Wall of Fame."

Flora, the national top scorer from two decades ago.

She was the only one in nearly twenty years to achieve such high scores, a record that stands unbeaten to this day.

Megan, looking displeased, scoffed, "Are we seriously bringing up something from twenty years ago? If Mr. Keaton is so great, why doesn't he produce another national top scorer now? Can't do it anymore, can he?"

With that, she sat down, ignoring Keaton.

Keaton was visibly ruffled by her comment, frustration written all over his face. The lack of professionalism among some of the younger teachers was unbelievable!

In terms of ethics and professional conduct, Ms. Megan, despite her prestigious university background, was seriously lacking.

Shaking his head, Keaton bent over his desk to continue grading exams.

The first exam in the stack was Mathematics.

He glanced at an answer, marked it correct, glanced at another-correct again...

And then...noveldrama

He finished marking the exam, stunned, and went back to check again... a perfect score...

Not a single mistake!

It was from last month's exam, which was definitely tough. Only a couple of students in the entire grade managed to score full marks.

Keaton was suddenly energized, excitement lighting up his eyes. It seemed Tyler wasn't a complete underachiever after all; he had his strengths.

A perfect score in Math was already a huge accomplishment!

Nice, a strong suit!

He eagerly flipped to the next exam paper, which was Physics.

He started marking it quickly.

Correct!

Correct!

Still correct!

Keaton was so shocked his eyes widened!

Another perfect score!

Two full marks!

This wasn't the performance of an underachiever at all!

Keaton was so excited his hands shook as he quickly went through the remaining exam papers. Then-

He couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Jumping up from his chair in surprise, the chair legs scraped across the floor with a loud screech.

"What's going on, Mr. Keaton? Did

something happen?" The teachers i office were startled and

Keaton was still in a state of shock and didn't reply.

It was rare for him to show such an extreme expression of surprise, making everyone even more curious.

Megan, glancing at the exam papers

on his desk, gave a knowing smile: "What else could it be? Mr. Keaton must have been stunned by the grading. So, how did the new transfer student do? Really bad, I bet? Full of wrong answers and not a single one right?"

Keaton had no time for her nonsense, still visibly shocked as he looked at the exam papers. Seeing this, several teachers grew curious and gathered around...

Keaton wanted to gauge Tyler's true potential to tailor a specific study plan, so he had made the exam questions a bit more challenging than usual.

But then...
