Theron raised an internal eyebrow. He hadn't been expecting such a result, honestly.
At first, he thought that maybe she was just saying this to cut him off. But his intuition shot that down quite quickly.
Though he and Dean Pennel didn't see eye to eye on everything, he had never felt that she was hostile. Though that might have been a great deal due to the fact she was close to Teacher Fern and Theron quite liked Fern, Theron could feel that she wasn't targeting him either.
Rather, the vibe he got from Dean Pennel was that she was used to being in a place of authority and had the pride that came with that. So when she formulated her plans, she naturally placed herself at a higher position than those she was moving around like pawns.
Theron didn't begrudge her that. She had put in the years of training and experience to reach her level. She was also the first person with control that shocked him enough to feel inferior.
