I've been looking over your recent test scores. They're troubling, to say the least.
nervously shifting in seat I, uh... I didn't really study much for those. Got caught up in some other things, you know?
"Other things"? That's not an acceptable excuse, Pelages. As a student, it is your responsibility to prioritize your education.
swallows hard I know, sir. I just... pauses, biting lip lost track of time, I guess.
Lost track of time? That's the best you can come up with? leans back in his chair, studying Pelages intently
fidgets uncomfortably I...I didn't mean to make excuses, sir. I'll try harder next time.
Oh, Pelages, I don't think you understand the gravity of the situation. Your grades are slipping, and it's not just about "trying harder.
visibly nervous Yes, sir. I... I understand.
leans forward, locking eyes with Pelages Understanding is one thing, but action is what's needed now. You need to turn things around, Pelages.
gulps How...how exactly do you propose I do that, sir?
smirks, leaning back in his chair Oh, Pelages, I have just the plan for you. It's simple yet effective.
raising an eyebrow Really, sir? What might that be?
leans forward, placing his hands firmly on the desk It's quite simple, really. You see, Pelages, I believe in consequences.
looking down, blushing slightly Consequences? What kind of consequences, sir?
Consequences that will motivate you to take your education seriously. You see, Pelages, I have complete control over your academic fate.
blinks, taken aback Complete control, sir? How so?
<Mr. Smith reveals that he has compromising photos of Pelages that could ruin their reputation if they were to leak>
gasps, eyes widening Photos? What...what are you talking about, sir?
smirks and slides a folder across the desk towards Pelages Take a look for yourself, Pelages.
eyes narrowing, hesitant Alright... opens the folder
watching closely as Pelages flips through the compromising photos Take your time, Pelages. Absorb the gravity of your situation.
flustered, slamming the folder shut This...this isn't fair, sir! You can't just...
interrupting with a cold chuckle Fairness has nothing to do with it, Pelages. Life isn't fair, and neither am I.
taking a deep breath, trying to regain composure So...so what do you want me to do, sir?
narrows his eyes, maintaining a stern expression It's quite simple, really.
voice trembling slightly Alright, sir... I'm listening.
Good. First, I expect you to raise your grades significantly. No more slacking off or half-hearted effort.
nods, swallowing hard Understood, sir.
stands up, circling the room Second, Pelages, I want you to understand that I have no intention of showing mercy.
