At 6 PM, a dejected Qin Yu walked out of school.
He'd been scolded by Zhao Youran for over two hours, his ears practically calloused.
The worst part was, he got scolded but didn't gain any energy. Despite Zhao Youran's fury, she only provided less than 20 energy points.
What a rip-off!
Taking a small notebook from his bag, Qin Yu quickly wrote Zhao Youran's name down.
"This guy is no good. Don't mess with him unless absolutely necessary."
Above Zhao Youran's name was Yuna's name.
Zhao Youran was no good; messing with him would be a losing proposition.
As for Yuna? She was simply too dangerous to mess with!
Putting away the notebook, Qin Yu prepared to go home.
Meanwhile, in the nearby bushes, a man with a pig-like head was hiding, surrounded by several henchmen.
This was none other than the precocious guy Qin Yu had just beaten up.
"Boss! Shall we make our move now?"
"No! Let him get a bit further away! Making a move here will cause trouble!"
"How should we deal with him later?"
"Same old routine! Fourth brother, put the sack on him! Third, second, and I, you whack him!"
The four men gritted their teeth and discussed their plan for a while. Meanwhile, dozens of meters away in the bushes, Yuri frowned, observing the situation and considering whether or not to intervene.
This was no longer school grounds; the school couldn't interfere with a fight here.
That meant they could unleash their full power without worry.
This would negate Qin Yu's advantage of being tall and strong.
Just as Yuri was debating whether to help her "punching bag," the four men, who had planned their attack, made their move.
One of them leaped out of the bushes, his sack wide open, and instantly slammed it down on Qin Yu's head.
The other three roared and charged forward, throwing punches.
"Hit him!"
A scream rang out. Qin Yu, his vision blurred, was terrified and wildly threw punches!
"Who! Who turned off my lights?!"
A series of crackling sounds filled the air, dust billowed, and the group instantly erupted into a chaotic brawl.
Seeing this, Yuri gritted her teeth, disregarding everything else, and hastily sped out of the bushes.
Her streamlined body moved like a sharp sword, covering over a hundred meters in an instant. Yuri leaped into the dust cloud, only to be struck head-on by Qin Yu's punch…
With a gag, Yuri flew into the dust cloud, then flew out of the battlefield even faster, lying on the ground for a long time, unable to get up.
She hadn't expected to be attacked, so she hadn't even mobilized her internal energy.
With her mortal body, it was a miracle she hadn't fainted from Qin Yu's full-force blow.
The chaotic battle quickly ended. As the dust settled, Qin Yu frantically pulled the burlap sack off his head, raised his fist, and nervously scanned his surroundings. At his feet lay four figures, motionless, only occasional twitches indicating they were still alive.
Fighting Qin Yu hand-to-hand! That was pure suicide!
Looking around in a daze, Qin Yu quickly spotted Yuri and immediately knelt down, sliding over to her.
"Yuri! What happened to you! Who beat you up like this! Who!!!"
Yuri, in too much pain to speak, trembled and raised a finger, trying to point at Qin Yu, but he grabbed her hand.
"Don't worry! I'll take you to the hospital right now!"
With that, Qin Yu, without waiting for Yuri's consent, hoisted her onto his shoulder and ran off, leaving a striking trail on the street.
Hanging on Qin Yu's shoulder, Yuri watched the ground rushing past, feeling the strange looks from passersby, and at that moment, she felt like dying.
When the two finally returned home after a long day, it was already past 9 pm.
Even after so much time had passed, Yuri still hadn't recovered from that punch. She walked with a hunched back, her hand never leaving her abdomen.
Seeing her daughter like this, Yuna said nothing, still smiling.
But Qin Yu knew that this woman's murderous intent towards him had only intensified!
Enraged! Energy increased by 101.
Enraged! Energy increased by 107
...
The next few days passed relatively peacefully. Although Qin Yu was still causing trouble everywhere, always spouting infuriating remarks,
however, due to his size and the school rules, ordinary students, even if angry, would at most ignore him.
A few troublemakers who dared to make a move were quickly suppressed by Qin Yu's force.
Two weeks later, Qin Yu had become a notorious figure at school, truly hated by everyone. Teachers would frown and walk away whenever they saw him.
Rumor has it that if you dare to speak to him, you're a genius if you don't get angry within three sentences, and a fool if you don't fight within ten.
This morning, the homeroom teacher suddenly entered the classroom with a serious expression.
The students sat bolt upright, each one looking like they were about to be executed.
Before Qin Yu, sitting at the back, could figure out what was happening, Zhao Youran slammed her hands heavily on the desk and shouted.
"Classmates! A momentous event that everyone's been waiting for is about to begin! Are you all fully prepared?!"
Some students looked up sharply.
"Teacher! We're ready for this!"
Other students lowered their heads dejectedly.
"Teacher, we can only be spectators."
Qin Yu, however, couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Event? What event? What happened?! What's going on?!"
Looking at the withdrawn Qin Yu, Zhao Youran's eyes twitched slightly. Too lazy to pay attention to this guy, she shouted again.
"Only 11 days left until the annual Northern Region High School League! All schools in the Northern Region have nine slots! And our top-tier class, Class 2 of Grade 3, has one! Students! I hope you will compete fairly! Elect the strongest student to represent our class! Participate in the High School League and win back glory!"
"Glory! Glory! Glory!"
The students shouted enthusiastically, but Qin Yu instantly sprawled out in his chair in a relaxed, reclining position.
What the heck! It's just the college entrance exam after all! He thought it was something bigger!
Taking out a box of bubble gum and popping it all into his mouth, Qin Yu began chewing noisily, which made Zhao Youran's eyes twitch more and more.
"I've applied for a dedicated training room for our class."
"Cheers, chewers."
"We can use it freely before the competition starts."
"Cheers, chewers."
"Our class will compete in a title defense format. Anyone can challenge the winner, as many times as they want, but no tag-team challenges!"
"Cheers, chewers."
"Qin Yu!!!"
Hearing the constant noise around her, Zhao Youran finally couldn't take it anymore and roared.
Qin Yu was startled and jumped up, standing ramrod straight.
"Here!"
"Spit out that rubbish in your mouth!"
"Yes! Ptooey!"
He spat out the chewing gum, which stuck to the hair of the girl in front of him with a smack.
The girl, noticing this, widened her eyes instantly and turned to look at Qin Yu in shock.
Qin Yu chuckled, then pulled out a pair of scissors from somewhere and snipped off the stuck hair.
This practiced action made the girl's eyes widen even more.
Enraged, Zhao Youran suddenly pointed to the corner of the wall.
"Get over there!!!"
