Processing Results, Exploiting Weaknesses

"Qian Mu, Freshman Class Nine's class monitor, twelve years old, Rank 29 Soul Grandmaster, martial soul... Erosion?"

"Qian Fei, Freshman Class Nine's vice class monitor, eleven years old, Rank 21 Soul Grandmaster, martial soul: Light Element."

At the Discipline Office, Yan Shaozhe flipped through the two girls' files. His brows alternately relaxed and furrowed, while Mu Jin, Class Nine's homeroom teacher, stood beside him.

Yan Shaozhe put away the files and drew a deep breath. "One body martial soul that even I have never heard of, and one pure elemental martial soul. Teacher Mu, you've truly taken in two excellent students."

Mu Jin remained respectful. "They were simply assigned to my class by good fortune."

Yan Shaozhe rose and walked to the window, clasping his hands behind his back. "I heard this Qian Mu even defeated a three-ring student! She is indeed a genius, but Shrek Academy has never lacked geniuses. Today, she nearly killed Freshman Class One's class monitor, Wang Dong. That is an indisputable fact."

Mu Jin's expression stiffened. "Dean, this..."

Yan Shaozhe waved a hand and continued, "I understand as well. After the investigation, it was indeed Wang Dong who first shouted that she wanted to kill Qian Mu. That is also a fact. Qian Mu retaliated in self-defense, which was perfectly reasonable. Naturally, Wang Dong will be punished after she wakes up as well. That is the first point. Second, Qian Mu's actions still count as excessive self-defense. Even if they are not in the same class, she cannot strike so ruthlessly at a fellow student. Besides..."

Yan Shaozhe's gaze grew somewhat complicated. "As for Qian Mu's martial soul, another member of the academy's upper management told me that something seemed very wrong with it. It somewhat resembles an evil... Forgive me, Teacher Mu. As the dean, I should not have spoken so harshly in front of you."

Hearing this, Mu Jin became somewhat uneasy as well. "Then Qian Mu... and her younger sister..."

"Relax, Teacher Mu. Nothing has been decided yet. This is merely the worst possible speculation. Isn't Qian Mu's younger sister a pure Light Element martial soul? She can complement her perfectly. I believe the child was most likely affected emotionally by her martial soul at the time. When Qian Fei appeared, didn't she calm down?"

Mu Jin immediately patted her chest in assurance. "Please say the word, Dean. No matter what, I will not let such a genius be tarnished, nor will I allow her to become a demon in the future!"

A hint of relief appeared on Yan Shaozhe's face. "If only Zhou Yi could be half as reasonable as you... Mu Jin!"

"Here!"

"I hereby announce the handling of the fight between the two freshman class monitors. First, Qian Mu acted in excessive self-defense during the incident. She was not the one at fault initially, so her punishment may be lightened. However, the matter of someone so young attempting to kill a fellow student must be taken seriously. Your task is to properly educate Qian Mu in how to conduct herself. You may start with her younger sister, Qian Fei. I do not wish to see a similar incident again during the freshman assessment three months from now."

"Yes, Mu Jin understands."

Yan Shaozhe nodded slightly, then took another note from his robes. "In addition, this is the decision regarding Freshman Class One's class monitor, Wang Dong. Pass it on to Zhou Yi."

"Me? All right."

After leaving the Discipline Office, Mu Jin looked at the note Yan Shaozhe had handed her and felt rather depressed. If possible, she truly did not want to see Zhou Yi. That old woman was already furious after being punished and was terribly irritable.

"Maybe I should find a student to do it?" Mu Jin pondered all the way back to Freshman Class Nine's classroom.

At this time, the children were taking a basic theory class on Soul Tools, and not many noticed her.

Mu Jin's gaze settled on Qian Mu. The latter seemed to have finished already and had turned in her paper early. She was now idly spinning a pen.

An idea struck her.

Mu Jin suddenly called out, "Qian Fei."

Qian Fei, who had just finished her final question, looked up. Hearing Teacher Mu call her, she quickly stepped forward. "Teacher Mu, did you need me?"

Mu Jin nodded and handed her the note. "Take this to Freshman Class One's homeroom teacher. Just tell her the dean asked you to run an errand. Try not to provoke Zhou Yi, understood?"

Try not to provoke her?

Qian Renxue sneered inwardly, but on the surface, Qian Fei obediently nodded and left to carry out the task.

Mu Jin sighed softly to herself. "Sigh... Were these two sisters really born from the same mother? How could their personalities be so different?"

She did not think the well-behaved and quiet Qian Fei would have any conflict with Zhou Yi.

Qian Fei walked straight to Class One's classroom door and knocked on it expressionlessly.

"Who is it?" An extremely impatient voice came from inside.

Qian Fei said only one word. "Me."

"What little brat is this? How the hell am I supposed to know who you are?!" The oppressive aura of a Soul Emperor rushed at her, even blowing open the classroom door. The Class One students all trembled in fright. Of course, some were curious too—whose child dared speak to Teacher Zhou like that?

Qian Fei stood at the door, seemingly unaffected by the pressure in the slightest. At the same time, a chill quietly flashed through her eyes. "Do you know now?"

Zhou Yi narrowed her eyes. "So it's that crazy girl's little sister. What, did you come to laugh at me?!"

Qian Fei spread her hands. "That's what you think."

During this time, she had learned nothing else from her dear older sister Qian Mu, but she had certainly learned how to talk back. It seemed that certain special instinctive reactions had begun to manifest in Qian Renxue.

"You..." Zhou Yi clenched her fists, wanting badly to teach this little girl a lesson immediately. But she understood that if she made a move, she would probably be branded in front of the entire class as someone who bullied the weak and was unworthy of being a teacher.

"What exactly did you come for?!"

"That dean asked me to bring you this."

Qian Fei flung out the note, but Zhou Yi did not catch it. Instead, she shouted angrily once more, "Is this the attitude you take toward a task assigned by the dean? How disrespectful! Pick it up and hand it to me personally!!"

"You think I'm being disrespectful to you, don't you, Aunt Zhou?" Qian Fei tilted her head, with no intention of backing down.

Zhou Yi laughed in anger. "Fine, fine, fine! Like sister, like sister. You really are exactly like that crazy girl you call an older sister!!"

The corner of Qian Fei's lips rose by three pixels. "And what about you? A crazy woman going through menopause?"

She did not know Zhou Yi wore a human-skin mask. Her true appearance was actually quite young and beautiful. Being called menopausal in one breath had struck one of a young woman's greatest taboos.

Weakness exploited!

"What did you say?!!"

Smack!

Zhou Yi hurled out a textbook, but Qian Fei steadily caught it with one hand. "Did that break your defenses already?"

Zhou Yi felt utterly stifled. She could neither hit her nor outargue her.

Qian Fei flung the textbook back, clapped her hands, and said, "My errand is complete, so I won't waste any more words. Goodbye."

With that, Qian Fei turned and left, but her voice drifted back.

"Oh, right, Aunt Zhou. Teacher Mu said that classroom door is worth one hundred Gold Soul Coins. Remember to get it fixed. Also, if any of Freshman Class One's students are interested, feel free to come visit Class Nine. My sister is the one who crushed your class monitor at the freshman dorm entrance this afternoon."

Right in front of all of Freshman Class One, Qian Fei dropped the day's biggest bombshell.

The Freshman Class One students instantly stirred. They had only heard that someone had crushed their class monitor without even using her martial soul. They had never expected this blonde girl to be that famous person's younger sister!

Zhou Yi's face darkened as she turned to look at the restless students. The blood and energy in her chest surged again.

Weakness exploited a second time!!
