"After careful deliberation by the school, you have been given a warning and the matter will be announced throughout the school for criticism,"
Ding Yue looked at the four students from Room 325 and issued the school's punishment.
The decision to only issue a warning was made after discussions between Ding Yue and Director Qi Chunsheng of the Academic Affairs Office, and there were reasons for this.
After all, the fire in Room 325 wasn't caused by these four students but by two students from Mist City University of Technology who carelessly started the fire while trying to put out cigarette butts.
In other words, in this fire incident, the four students from Room 325 bore only secondary responsibility, not primary responsibility.
So, after some consideration, Ding Yue and Director Qi Chunsheng decided to give a warning to the four students and then simply announce a criticism throughout the school.
"Principal Ding, are you really just giving a warning?"
