Chapter 21 - Call for backup, huh?
He took the girl to the infirmary for a simple treatment.
Perhaps due to her peculiar constitution, the ice pack had significantly reduced the swelling on her face by the time the lesson was almost over.
[Host, Chu Yashi's father is the principal of this school. Aren't you afraid that she'll take revenge after you humiliated her so badly?] the system on his shoulder pointed out the potential danger.
Ji Mu wiped his fingers with the free disinfectant wipes from the infirmary.
Since he had slapped Chu Yashi twice earlier, his hands were covered with various powders.
He had to clean up properly.
"I even beat up the dean, why should I be afraid of her?"
If soldiers come, use generals to block them; if water comes, use earth to cover it.
Since he had already insulted someone, he might as well insult them thoroughly.
"If it really doesn't work, I'll switch schools with the heroine. We don't have to stay here."
The worst outcome wasn't that bad, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Ji Mu had always been very clear about such things.
The system was speechless.
He really was the type to fight back if provoked.
But if you think about it, when you are bullied at school, you have to take a tough stance and fight back to the end.
Even if it was like hitting a stone with an egg, he had to make sure that the bully was covered in blood.
Besides, the host himself was no easy target.
The system clicked its tongue.
It hoped that Chu Yashi wouldn't be that stupid.
...
In the afternoon.
The bell for the third lesson had just rung.
The teacher was about to start explaining today's lesson when the homeroom teacher appeared at the door at an inopportune moment.
"Ruan Qingqing, come to the office."
The girl's fingers hidden in her sleeves tightened slightly.
Under the curious eyes of her classmates, she slowly stood up and walked out of the classroom.
"Teacher, is something wrong?"
"Did you have a conflict with students from another class this morning?"
"Yes."
Looking at the well-behaved girl in front of her, the teacher sighed softly.
"Let's go."
She patted her shoulder, reassuring her gently.
"It's okay."
Ruan Qingqing's eyelids dropped slightly as she realized the impending storm.
She instinctively looked back at the class.
Seeing the boy's face, her panicked heart began to calm.
"Okay."
...
Judging by the teacher's demeanor, it seemed like Chu Yashi had brought her parents, the system speculated, feeling that it was probably right.
It tugged at the boy's ear.
But why didn't they call you, host?
Ji Mu stopped twirling the pen.
He knew that Chu Yashi would seek revenge at some point, but he hadn't expected it to come so quickly.
After roughly figuring out the reason, Ji Mu rubbed his temples.
It seemed that he had to follow and check things out.
With such an introverted personality, the girl was bound to suffer.
Outside the door, the system that had just arrived and overheard their shameless conversation was utterly shocked.
Wow, these people have once again redefined my understanding of shamelessness.
With such villainous logic, anyone would feel inferior.
Host, you must be careful.
Ji Mu remained calm.
"It doesn't matter. I'll take action."
It's all about being shameless and arguing irrationally. Let's see who can be more disgusting!
He pressed the door handle and pushed the door open.
A creak.
The sudden sound was out of place in the tense atmosphere and immediately drew everyone's attention.
"I can prove that Ruan Qingqing is not lying."
Facing their instinctive glances, Ji Mu lazily leaned against the door frame and drawled.
"Because the slap mark on Chu Yashi's face was made by me."
"Ji Mu?"
The teacher frowned.
She didn't miss what he said and couldn't help but feel another headache coming on.
"What are you doing here?"
Why was he causing trouble out of the blue?
Ji Mu shrugged. "Nothing much, just trying to stop certain people from falsely accusing others."
Oh no, why is he here!
Seeing the boy suddenly appear, Chu Yashi's face changed drastically, a strong sense of foreboding rising within her.
The Dean's expression was also unpleasant.
That boy is definitely here to cause trouble again. I need to get rid of him fast.
"Student, you can't just walk around during class."
Knowing the boy's bold nature, the man feigned displeasure and tried to regain control of the situation.
"Go back to your class right now."
"Ji Mu?"
The noblewoman's eyes flickered when she heard the teacher address the boy. She seemed to remember something.
"Isn't he the one who ranked first in the recent six-school joint examination?"
He doesn't seem to have any background to speak of, just an ordinary commoner.
She immediately relaxed and returned to her former arrogant attitude.
"Even if he's first, he has no right to protect a bully."
After all, no matter how good his grades are, he's still just a commoner.
When he enters society in the future, won't he still have to serve people like us?
"Call their parents right away. I want to see what kind of parents would raise such an ill-mannered child."
That familiar haughty tone...
That's not good!
The memory of that humiliating incident flashed through the Dean's mind, making his scalp tingle.
"Ji Mu, wait..."
He reached out to stop him, but it was obviously too late.
"Tsk, I already said, the injury on Chu Yashi's face was caused by me."
The boy's lazy voice rang out first.
With his hands in his pockets, he walked over to the woman with an air of indifference.
"Old woman, are you deaf?"
The Dean's vision went black and he almost fainted.
Disaster!
