150: Chapter 150 Pang Ban: I'm simply a genius!

On the podium, Principal Pang Ban looked at the passionate crowd of students below, then at Jiang You, who was still maintaining his "oath-taking" pose.

A meaningful, one could even say cunning, smile appeared on his wrinkled old face.

"Good! Very good!"

"It seems our student Jiang You has quite a lot of spirit!"

Principal Pang Ban led the applause, forcefully turning the awkward atmosphere into a warm response.

In fact, regarding the appointment of Jiang You as the F Class captain, Principal Pang Ban had smoked three packs of cigarettes last night before deciding on this "brilliant strategy."

What kind of place was F Class?

It was the "Abnormal Human Research Center" of Magic City Martial Arts University!

The people inside were all troublemakers, extremely difficult to manage... and now, a Tier 5 Great Demon, Bai Lan, had even mixed in!

Moreover, although this class was named a freshman class, it was actually a hodgepodge mixed with students who had been held back in their sophomore, junior, or even senior years.

For a class like this, no one was suitable to be the captain.

Choose Lu Xingye? Too arrogant, easy to get beaten to death.

Choose Senior Ji Youyou? Too poisonous, easy to poison teammates to death.

Choose that newcomer Bai Lan?

Principal Pang Ban thought about the silly fox who only knew how to eat potato chips and shook his head. If she were made captain, the whole team would probably be led into a ditch.

"So..."

Principal Pang Ban looked at Jiang You below the stage, secretly feeling smug:

"It can only be Jiang You."

"Although this kid looks lazy, he is truly smart! He belongs to the type who hides his wisdom under a facade of stupidity!"

"The most crucial thing is—he has good luck!"

"To fight a Tier 5 Great Demon one-on-one, get kicked hundreds of meters away, and not even break the skin! What is this? This is the destiny of a chosen one!"

"When leading a team in a competition, strength is certainly important, but luck often determines the outcome!"

Of course, Principal Pang Ban had a deeper, and darker, ulterior motive in mind.

His gaze swept vaguely over Bai Lan, who was standing behind Jiang You, carrying a backpack, eating potato chips, and curiously watching Jiang You raise his hand.

"Hehehe..."

Principal Pang Ban let out a villainous laugh in his heart:

"Although Bai Lan has enrolled, she might not necessarily listen to what I, the Principal, say."

"However..."

"I see she seems very attached to this kid, Jiang You."

"As long as I tie Jiang You to the captain's position and make him fight for his life, Bai Lan will definitely contribute as well!"

"When someone raises objections..."

"I will announce to the public that she is a humanoid battle pet captured by student Jiang You!"

"Or a contracted spirit beast!"

"Not only does this solve the problem of managing the Tier 5 Great Demon, but it also adds a super combat force to the school!"

"I, Principal Pang Ban, am truly a genius!"

Thinking of this, the smile on Principal Pang Ban's face became even brighter.

He spoke into the microphone and announced loudly:

"Since student Jiang You is so confident!"

"Then this matter is settled!"

"All students, enter a state of preparation starting from today!"

"Captain Jiang You, you have the authority to mobilize all resources of F Class, including... personnel allocation!"

"The school has high hopes for your F Class! Don't let us down!"

"Dismissed!"

With Principal Pang Ban's order, the opening ceremony ended in a strange yet enthusiastic atmosphere.

Only Jiang You remained.

He was still standing in place, holding up his disobedient right hand.

Until almost everyone had left, his hand "clattered" and dropped down as if the power had been cut.

"Huff... huff..."

Jiang You panted heavily, feeling even more tired than after running five kilometers.

He looked at his roommates who had gathered around, looking at those pairs of eyes filled with inquiry and suspicion, feeling like crying without tears.

"Brothers..."

"If I say..."

"That wasn't what I said just now..."

"It was my mouth that had its own ideas..."

"Do you believe me?"

Gou Fugui patted his shoulder, with an "I understand, I understand everything" expression:

"Brother Jiang, don't explain."

"For the sake of God Source, for the sake of becoming stronger, it's not shameful."

"I just didn't expect you to hide so deeply, being a hidden hot-blooded anime protagonist."

"From now on, our F Class will rely on you to carry us!"

Jiang You: "..."

Carry us?

I just want to fly back into my bed and sleep!

Just then, Bai Lan leaned over, handing the half-eaten potato chips in her hand to Jiang You's mouth, her two fox ears twitching, with a face full of admiration:

"Big brother!"

"That pose you made when you raised your hand just now was so cool!"

"Like Ultraman transforming!"

"Are we going to fight too? Is there meat to eat if we win?"

Looking at this true Tier 5 Great Demon, Jiang You suddenly felt his vision go dark.

It's over.

This time, he had truly boarded a pirate ship.

Not only did he have to lead a group of lunatics to compete.

But also add a Tier 5 Great Demon?

I have to say, this old guy Principal Pang Ban is really full of bad ideas!

I really misjudged you!

...

After the opening ceremony, the F Class group returned in a grand procession to that dilapidated Abandoned Gymnasium.

They did not disband immediately. Everyone gathered with great tacit understanding in the old sofa area pieced together in the first-floor lobby, holding a class meeting titled "Pre-war Mobilization," which was actually a "Group Venting Session."

At this time, except for the invisible man Mo Wu, who was still acting as a background board in some unknown corner, all the villains of F Class who were at school were present.

Jiang You slumped into the softest beanbag chair, feeling as if his body had been hollowed out.

"I don't understand."

Lu Xingye hugged his broken sword, sitting on a high stool, his brows locked so tightly that they could crush a fly:

"Although Jiang You was indeed... hmm, indeed had something in the swamp, even a bit eerie."

"But make him the captain? Leading us to challenge opponents from other universities?"

Lu Xingye glanced at Jiang You, who was slumped there like a salted fish, with a look of frustration:

"Is Principal Pang Ban senile? Does this guy look like someone who can lead a team? He can't even recognize the road!"

Hao Yun sat cross-legged on the carpet, stuffing potato chips into his mouth, and said vaguely:

"Maybe Principal Pang Ban thinks Brother Jiang has good luck? After all, he was kicked by a Tier 5 Great Demon and didn't die. This destiny is ridiculously tough."

Gou Fugui pushed up his glasses, tapping on his calculator:

"I think it's cost-effectiveness. Brother Jiang is cheap; give him some food and he can move. If we let you, Brother Lu, be the captain, just the costume costs and the props for looking cool would burn through half of the school's budget."

"Get lost!" Lu Xingye was furious.

"Alright, stop arguing."

Senior Ji Youyou, sitting on a single-seater sofa, spoke lazily.

She was playing with a small white snake in her hands, her charming eyes sweeping over the crowd, and the hall instantly fell silent. As a senior in her fourth year and the big sister of F Class, Senior Ji Youyou still had a lot of prestige.

"Since the Principal has decided, it cannot be changed."

Senior Ji Youyou's expression became slightly more serious, and she began to explain the rules of this competition to the junior students:

"I heard that the rules for this Hundred Schools League have changed."

"Every school must select two teams, with eight people per team, to go out as the main force."

"And the intra-school selection tournament starting next week is to screen for these sixteen spots."

She stretched out her slender fingers and gestured:

"School-wide melee, ranking by points."

"The top twenty on the final leaderboard will be selected for the training team."

"The top sixteen will form two official teams. The remaining four will be substitutes."
