For the first fortnight Joe, remained very simple in the school. He mingled with other boys and tried to understand their psychology. He also tried to take help from different teachers and found that not all all were of the same attitude. Some of the teachers were genuinely trying to help the students and a few tried to show their authority. He also understood the fact that there were a few teachers in the school who were asking and even literally forcing the students to take private tuitions from them. Joe understood the real problem and thought that he would try to make these teachers understand their actual responsibility.
The first teacher he felt he would encounter was the computer teacher, who was absolutely corrupt. The computer teacher hardly conducted a proper class, but he would give the question papers in advance to the students who went for private tuition and gave them high grades and he would fail other students and force their parents to send them for tuition.
To teach him a proper lesson during a practical class, Joe hacked all the computers and which ever computer they switched on they found only Sanshanika's image in it. Sanshanika was openly telling that the computer teacher was a fraud. The teacher himself got puzzled he tried to even switch off the computers, but they got switched on automatically and repeatedly on the screens Sanshanika kept on abusing the computer teacher.
The news spread like wild fire in the school and all the teacher rushed to the computer lab. Nobody was able to switch off the computers and as Sanshanika kept on telling about the teachers misdeeds and corrupt behavior the students enjoyed the fun and the teachers were getting embarrassed. Suddenly one of the teachers said that whatever it was, but whatever was being said was true. Now this comment of one of the teachers broke all hell loose. The computer teacher accused other teachers too and then it became free for all. The situation went to such an extent that some teachers were in blows. The headmaster tried his best to control the situation but could not.
As the teachers were pushing and hitting each other then the worst thing occurred, suddenly one computer's screen broke and Sanshanika came walking out of it. Looking at the scene everybody started running helter-skelter and the headmaster fainted.
Seeing such a pandemonium in the computer lab, the students of Ravindra's class too came out . On enquiry they learnt that there was a ghost in the computer lab. Joe immediately rushed forward and asked them to show where it was. They all again rushed to the computer lab and found everything was absolutely fine, no computer was broken only the headmaster was lying on the floor in a fainted state. The students and the teachers who were present in the lab during the pandemonium could not believe their eyes.
Joe went in and sprinkled some water on the headmaster and as soon as he touched him, the headmaster came back to sense. He stood up hurriedly and looked at his surrounding. He was in a total confused state, but as he was walking out of the lab, he could almost hear a voice telling him to set things right in the school or everyday they will have to face more difficult situations.
On that afternoon the headmaster called all the students in the main hall and talked to them about the private tuitions that the school teachers were giving them. Then he had a meeting with all the teachers and learnt the truth. He sacked three teachers on spot and from others he took written pledges against forcing students to take private tuitions.
At the end of the day when all the students were discussing about the horrible incident in the school, then Joe and Ravindra were just smiling at each other.
