Chen Shu stood up abruptly and looked at the petite Xia Bing, speaking solemnly.
Study committee member, you're questioning my ability to learn??
The classroom fell silent at his words.
Isn't this guy a total bro-con?
Even if the matchmaker tied them with red strings, steel rebar would break, wouldn't it?
Watching the others stare in disbelief,
Chen Shu, oblivious, sat back down.
But those who knew him well understood that Chen Shu wasn't a bro-con; he was just genuinely unhinged.
Oh.
Xia Bing felt a pang of awkwardness.
She had thought that by giving him a beast-taming bead yesterday, they were practically friends.
But Chen Shu's actions left her speechless.
She turned and returned to her seat.
Chen Pi, you understand silence better than Mulan, Wang Meng couldn't help but sigh.
In truth, Xia Bing's offer to tutor was purely out of concern for his grades.
It would be a regrettable loss if he couldn't get into his desired university due to failing his academic subjects.
The happy afternoon hours passed quickly.
Ding-ling-ling!
It had been a fulfilling day.
Chen Shu stretched, letting out a colossal yawn that echoed endlessly.
His yawn instantly made many people feel the urge to yawn themselves.
Do you really need to yawn that much?
Everyone around him shot him resentful glances, having caught his yawn.
With only a month left until the final exams, a few more choices like this would surely sort out his academic subjects.
He was already a Level 2 Beast Tamer. If he could reach Level 4, he'd be close to the top thirty in his grade.
Chen Shu walked towards the school gate, summarizing his progress.
Play is play, fun is fun, but don't joke about exams.
Even with the system, the college entrance examination was still a life-changing opportunity.
Just as Chen Shu reached the school gate, seven or eight people suddenly surrounded him.
Leading the group was Zheng Yi's older brother, Zheng Nan.
Well, isn't this Brother Nan? Your face looks even more swollen! But I can still vaguely recognize your dashing demeanor.
Zheng Nan felt a surge of blood rise in his chest, as if he'd been punched directly.
This guy was both ruthless and sharp-tongued, truly difficult for anyone to handle.
Are the juniors in the second year so arrogant these days?
One person, dressed in a white shirt and glasses, looked incredibly refined.
Enough is enough. What era are we in, where being a year older means you can just crush others?
Chen Shu scoffed, showing no sign of panic.
After all, they were at the school gate, with the guard just a short distance away.
I thought it was raining, but it turns out you're the one making me speechless.
Chen Shu's taunting words instantly broke through the defenses of several of them.
Being young and arrogant, they naturally couldn't control their tempers.
Just as they were about to make a move to teach him a lesson.
Chen Shu suddenly shouted loudly, his voice carrying across half the high school.
A senior is killing someone.
Damn it! Does this guy have a built-in loudspeaker?
In an instant, the group became flustered.
This guy's voice was too loud; who knew how many onlookers it would attract?
More importantly, who the hell was killing someone?
Is this how rumors spread so easily?
Zheng Nan! Let's go!
The group reached a consensus and turned to melt into the crowd.
Stop right there!
At that moment, a security guard in a blue uniform walked over.
He seemed somewhat familiar with Chen Shu, as those with special abilities in school, though a minority, were always memorable.
What are you guys doing here?
Several security guards approached, looking at Zheng Nan and his companions.
Uncle, we weren't doing anything. We were just chatting between friends.
Chatting? Chatting about murder?
The security guard looked at the tall Chen Shu and asked.
Chen Shu, tell us what happened.
Uncle Wang, it's this guy. He said he was going to kill me to mourn his lost youth!
Zheng Nan: ???
In that instant, the seniors felt a surge of blood rise in their chests.
What kind of nonsensical garbage is this?
Can't you say a single normal sentence?
The security guards' mouths twitched slightly, clearly finding the story utterly absurd.
Just then, several people in formal attire arrived outside the school gate.
What's going on?
A stern-faced middle-aged man walked over; he was the head of the senior year.
Seeing this middle-aged man, Zheng Nan and the others privately felt things were about to go awry.
Director Ma, you're finally here.
Chen Shu looked wronged and began to pour out his heart, detailing Zheng Nan's alleged crimes.
Calm down, student, tell us slowly!
Director Ma Yu looked at Zheng Nan and the others, clearly recognizing students from his grade.
Initially, Ma Yu's eyes held anger, believing his students were bullying students from other grades.
But the more he listened, the more preposterous and ridiculous it sounded.
Mourning youth, killing Chen Shu for fun.
Alright, students, I think I understand.
Ma Yu, with a dark line across his forehead, finally forcibly interrupted Chen Shu.
You should go home first. I'll handle the rest.
Chen Shu, still wanting to say more, reluctantly left the school gate.
Zheng Nan, the college entrance examination is just around the corner, why are you provoking people?
Director Ma Yu let out a sigh of relief, finally seeing Chen Shu off.
Director Ma, we really didn't do anything.
Zheng Nan looked wronged, and with the injuries on his face, he appeared to be a complete victim.
Enough nonsense! The college entrance examination is just days away. None of you should cause trouble, especially if it affects the exams.
Ma Yu's expression was stern. As the head of the year, he didn't want any accidents during the exams.
We understand.
Zheng Nan and the others drooped their heads, feeling utterly frustrated.
At this moment, Chen Shu returned home and began to study diligently.
Although he had the historical knowledge of beast-taming in his mind, he needed to practice with problems to master it.
Even if the system fed him, he still had to open his mouth, didn't he?
Besides, he had offended both Zheng brothers now, and it was best not to walk alone at night.
Otherwise, he might just capsize in a ditch.
Could his lifelong reputation end like this?
A week passed quickly.
Chen Shu maintained a low profile and didn't cause any more trouble.
In those few days, he only triggered the option twice, receiving the power and physique of a slime as rewards.
Although Chen Shu was only a Level 2 Beast Tamer now, the combat power of his contracted spirit was likely equivalent to Level 3.
Finally, it's time for the holidays!
Waited so long, finally got to today. Dreamed for so long, finally made the dream come true.
All the classmates in the class were becoming excited.
Nanjiang City No. 2 High School was also one of the examination sites for the college entrance examination, which meant the students of other grades would have a three-day holiday.
Brother Meng, what are your plans for these three days?
My family arranged a beast-taming arena. I can only cultivate beast-taming power for three days.
Me too. I can only honestly attend beast-taming cram school.
