30: Newcomers being oppressed? Just do it!

As Director Liu's voice rang out...

A sound came from the classroom, followed by a series of footsteps.

A tall figure appeared at the door. He was over 1.9 meters tall and had a Huazi cigarette dangling from his mouth.

Glancing at the group, the boy said, "Old Liu, Teacher Mo said to let these two in. You can leave now."

This boy actually addressed Director Liu as 'Old Liu'!

One had to remember that Qi Tian had his points deducted just for calling him that!

However, Director Liu wasn't angry. Instead, he said with a smile, "Alright, I'll leave them to you. Oh, by the way, this one is Principal Qi's nephew..."

The boy curled his lip. "Old Liu, don't you know the rules of the Gemini Class? Never mind the principal's nephew—even if the governor's son came here, he'd have to stay flat on the ground!"

Fang Bai's eyes narrowed.

The people here were clearly not to be trifled with!

Director Liu laughed and shook his head. "Fine, then. I won't interfere. You guys have fun."

After saying that, he gave Fang Bai and Qi Tian a helpless look and departed.

After Director Liu left, the boy tilted his chin up. "Newcomers?"

Fang Bai nodded with a smile. "Yes."

The boy pointed his thumb at the plaque on the door. "See that? Remember your class: the Gemini Class! Everyone here is a Dual-Element Awakened. I hope you don't drag our class down."

"I'm Wu Cuo. You can call me Brother Wu."

Fang Bai and Qi Tian looked at each other.

Did they just walk into a class of hoodlums?

"Little Wu, what are you babbling about? Let them in."

An impatient voice rang out from inside.

"Coming!"

Wu Cuo quickly responded, then gave Fang Bai and Qi Tian a look, saying, "Come in."

Fang Bai nodded. "Let's go in."

They were also very curious about their new class.

Upon entering the classroom, the two were hit by a thick cloud of smoke and instinctively began to cough violently.

"Oho! These two new guys don't smoke?"

"Hehe, they don't smoke now, but that might change after a while. Look at Old Six; he's a total chimney now."

"Eh? Still First-Tier? How did such weaklings pass the assessment?"

"The other one is a bit of a waste too. Fair-skinned and tender—looks like a second-generation kid raised on resources."

"This is getting interesting."

"..."

A chorus of mocking remarks broke out.

"Lights."

Following a calm voice, there was a click, and the classroom lights flickered on.

Only then did Fang Bai and Qi Tian see the scene inside the classroom.

The spacious classroom had no desks, only a podium. In front of the podium was a stool where a man sat leaning back, feet propped up on the podium and a textbook covering his face. Besides him, seven or eight students were huddled together, two of whom were shirtless and... playing poker?

Looking at it this way, the place looked exactly like a den for hoodlums.

"This... is our class?"

Qi Tian's expression was somewhat strange.

Fang Bai said faintly, "I'd like to know that too."

"Hey! Newbie, go pour a glass of water for your senior."

At that moment, a shirtless boy called out to Fang Bai.

Fang Bai glanced at the water dispenser not far away, then fixed his gaze on the boy and said with a grin, "Sure, but for five points, I'll help out!"

As soon as he said this, the rowdy noise stopped.

Several students sitting together looked over in surprise.

Even the man on the podium raised his head, the book sliding off to reveal a handsome face.

The boy who had called out to Fang Bai narrowed his eyes, then stood up and said with a smile, "What did you say? Senior didn't quite hear you."

The others also looked over mockingly, their gazes playful.

Fang Bai's smile remained unchanged. "I said, for five points, I can pour the water for you."

"Heck, I can even do two glasses."

The boy raised an eyebrow. "My name is Han Ju."

Fang Bai nodded. "Student Han, have you thought it over?"

"Haha! Han 'Impotent,' it seems like the guy doesn't know who you are at all!"

"Tsk tsk, that's a slap to the face, isn't it? If it were me, I'd be pissed. Go on, show them what's what."

"So brave! Ah Jie, they're just like you were when you first arrived, though you're well-behaved now."

"Pah! Yang Wei, what are you barking for? Believe it or not, I'll beat the crap out of you?"

"..."

The crowd began to jeer.

Han Ju's face had already turned cold as he narrowed his eyes. "Newbie, don't you know to respect your elders? Don't you have any manners?"

"Pah! What kind of crap is that? You saw we were new and immediately tried to bully us. What? You think you're some big shot?"

Qi Tian sneered.

He couldn't stand the other guy's posturing any longer!

He and Fang Bai were both newcomers; who knew how these seniors might try to bully them!

Han Ju looked at him and frowned. "And who are you?"

Qi Tian puffed out his chest and said grandly, "Listen up, you little thief! My name is Qi Tian! Like the Great Sage Equaling Heaven! You can call me by my nickname—Daddy!"

"..."

Everyone found it a bit unbelievable.

The newcomers these days seemed quite bold!

Han Ju's face turned icy. "You're freaking looking for death!"

Fang Bai ignored him and looked at the man sitting on the stool. "How should I address you, Teacher?"

The man raised an eyebrow. "My name is Mo Ming."

Fang Bai nodded. "Teacher Mo, what is the survival mode of our class?"

Mo Ming smiled. "Whoever is stronger is right."

Fang Bai looked thoughtful. "In other words, internal fighting is allowed in the class?"

Mo Ming nodded. "Yes, but keep it within limits."

Fang Bai glanced at the others and asked, "They won't gang up on us, will they?"

One of the boys said with a grin, "Don't worry, we won't. We still have some pride; we won't all gang up to bully a newcomer."

Another voice added, "Unless there's a benefit."

"..."

Fang Bai roughly understood.

He looked at Han Ju and said seriously, "How many points do you have?"

Han Ju instantly understood his meaning. He pulled out a card and said indifferently, "A thousand points is easy enough."

Hearing this, Fang Bai and Qi Tian's eyes lit up—a thousand points! That would be enough for them to use for a long time!

Fang Bai pointed a finger. "You! It's you! We want to challenge you to a duel! If you beat us, we'll listen to you from now on! If you lose, the thousand points belong to us!"

Han Ju sneered. "Good, good, good! Commendable courage!"

He turned to look at Mo Ming, who nodded and said, "Fine, I approve."

Then he added, "However, I'm taking a 10% cut of the points as a fee for supervising you. Any objections?"

Han Ju stared at Fang Bai darkly. "Of course not!"

Fang Bai and Qi Tian also nodded. "We agree!"

[Ding! System mission triggered!]

[Mission Content: Defeat your opponent and intimidate the others!]

[Mission Reward: Medium amount of Alien Energy + one Third-Tier Demonic Beast Soft Armor + one skill draw!]

Fang Bai's eyes suddenly erupted with light, like a hungry wolf in the dark!

Mo Ming gave him a meaningful look.

A moment later, everyone arrived in a spacious room. This room was huge, at least twice the size of a normal classroom!

There was also a lot of training equipment.

A student brought a stool for Mo Ming, and the latter sat down leisurely.

It was worth mentioning that besides the boys from earlier, a few girls had also appeared on the scene.

They were also members of the Gemini Class.

"Tsk tsk, two against one. Can Han Impotent win?"

"Isn't this a piece of cake? If he loses, it'll be a disgrace to the Gemini Class. A dual-element Second-Tier Martial Artist who can't beat two First-Tiers might as well commit seppuku."

"Sigh! Who can say for sure? Come on, come on! Place your bets! Odds are 1:10!"

"I'll bet ten points!"

"What can ten points do? I'm betting a hundred points on Han Impotent winning!"

"What about you, Ah Jie?"

"I'll bet on the two newcomers. Hmm, 66 points."

"Brother Jie, don't!"

...The audience had already begun placing bets.

Beside Mo Ming, a delicate-looking girl asked, "Teacher Mo, who do you think will win?"

Mo Ming curled his lip. "What do you think?"

The girl paused, then said, "Han Impotent... will lose."

Mo Ming said with a smile, "Su Su, you truly know me!"
