Activation, Destiny Mission! (Part 1)

Teng Chaoguo knew very well that no matter how arrogant or ruthless he was within Fengming First High School, there were absolute forbidden zones he could never touch. For example, the favored child of a certain Provincial Governor. For example, a certain Heavenly King in his third year of high school. And even more so, assaulting a teacher.

Dare to touch a teacher? Do you really think the school's iron fist and absolute authority are just talk?

However, the fact that Shi Tiexin had actually beaten a teacher instantly startled Teng Chaoguo.

According to rumors, Shi Tiexin had beaten mathematics teacher Jia Guangsu. Who was Jia Guangsu? He was an elite mathematics teacher at Fengming First High School, teaching the Elite Class, Class 3, and also the Key Class, Class 7. He had mentored many graduates from top-tier universities like Jinghua University, and had even guided one student to become the top scorer in the North Su Province college entrance examination. He was a treasured teacher at Fengming First High School.

Shi Tiexin dared to hit even someone like him?

Rumor had it that Shi Tiexin had roared in class. Could it be that he had exploded in silence, and from now on would reform and turn to the dark side?

Teng Chaoguo immediately changed his original plan. Instead of confronting him directly, he decided to find a way to make a show of force and test the waters. Coincidentally, Zhou Nan had lost five packs of cigarettes for him, and these five packs shouldn't be lost for nothing. If he didn't get back five cartons, he'd write his name backward!

But who should he demand the cigarettes from?

Shi Tiexin was a poor loser, relying on scholarships even for money to eat. He definitely couldn't afford five cartons of cigarettes. However, there was another good target in Class 28, the class monitor Zhao Qingmiao. Zhao Qingmiao was timid and incompetent, but his family background was at least better than Shi Tiexin, that orphan with no parents.

Perfect! While I make a show of force, I'll also extort him. This is a perfect plan!

"Kid, you have one day to bring back the five cartons of cigarettes you owe me. Do you understand?"

Zhao Qingmiao was trembling uncontrollably. Five cartons of cigarettes were several hundred, almost a thousand yuan. That was likely his entire semester's living expenses. "I, I..."

"Do you understand!"

Slap!

"Do you understand!"

Slap!

"Speak up, do you understand or not!"

Slap!

The slaps landed one after another, and Zhao Qingmiao's face swelled up, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Zhao Qingmiao was in despair. His eyes, seeing stars from the blows, swept across his classmates, looking to the boys he usually got along with for help. But as their gazes passed over him, he could only see lowered heads and averted eyes.

Someone...

Anyone...

Please save me!

The entire Class 28 watched Zhao Qingmiao being beaten and abused, their hearts feeling heavy. No matter what, Zhao Qingmiao was their class monitor. Each slap to Zhao Qingmiao's face felt like a slap to the entire Class 28.

The boys clenched their fists, their breathing quickening, but who dared to step forward to help at this moment? The nail that sticks out gets hammered down. Anyone who stepped forward now would face the most brutal retaliation from Black Hand Hungry Tiger.

Zhao Qingmiao, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

Accept your fate, no one will stand up for you...

Creak, rustle. Amidst the dead silence, the sound of furniture being moved suddenly broke the quiet.

Huh?!

Is someone actually standing up?!

Everyone's heads snapped around instantly, even Teng Chaoguo stopped slapping. Everyone looked towards the source of the sound. Zhao Qingmiao also turned his head, and to his astonished gaze, a tall figure slowly stood up from the third-to-last row by the window.

It's that new guy!

It's that guy who just arrived here today!

This guy, who had seemed terrifying, detestable, and frightening before, now seemed to be bathed in light, like a majestic pillar supporting the sky, making people feel incredibly secure.

Look!

His sturdy body is full of loyalty.

His solemn expression is full of justice.

His calm eyes are full of courage.

He, this newcomer whose name they didn't even know, was really going to stand up for Zhao Qingmiao, for the Class 28 monitor, for the entire Class 28?

He moved...

He moved!

He walked out from his seat, directly towards Teng Chaoguo—he was really stepping up!

Like propping up a collapsing building, like turning back the tide at the brink of disaster, this guy possessed an incredibly manly aura. Step by step, unhurriedly, each step felt like the earth shaking, like an unstoppable roaring tide.

Zhao Qingmiao's eyes suddenly blurred, tears welling up. The tears blurred his vision, and he felt Shi Tiexin was as tall as a giant. Moreover, with each step closer, he seemed to grow larger in his sight. In just a few steps, he was so large it blotted out the sky.

Whoosh. Shi Tiexin stopped, standing just thirty centimeters away from Teng Chaoguo. Looking down from above, his face stern, he gazed directly at Teng Chaoguo.

All the students in the class held their breath, the boys clenched their fists tightly, and the girls couldn't help but cover their mouths.

Is this... is this really for Zhao Qingmiao, whom he just met?!

Teng Chaoguo, who had been relaxed moments before, involuntarily turned to face Shi Tiexin when he stood directly in front of him. Looking at the gaze that looked down from above, Teng Chaoguo inexplicably felt a sense of being suppressed.

This Shi Tiexin... is really different!

But when has Teng Chaoguo ever backed down?

Glancing at his four lackeys, Teng Chaoguo's courage surged, and he let out a cold snort, "Yo, isn't this Scholar Stone? What's up? Stepping out at this time, what do you want to do? Are you trying to take the fall for this loser and pay for the five cartons of cigarettes..."

Shi Tiexin didn't even wait for Teng Chaoguo to finish. He opened his mouth and stated his purpose in a commanding, concise voice.

Just two words.

"Toilet."

T-toilet?

All the students thought they were hearing things, but soon everyone realized they weren't. Everything that had just happened was real.

This new guy wanted to go to the toilet with Teng Chaoguo!

"Toilet?" Teng Chaoguo's face suddenly contorted into a ferocious grimace. "Fine, fine! Scholar Stone, your guts have really grown! You dare to ask me to the toilet? Very good, very good indeed. Then, let's go. To the toilet!"

Shi Tiexin continued his assertive demeanor, again with just two words.

"Lead the way."

"Hahaha, very good, very good!" Teng Chaoguo laughed heartily, then waved his hand. His four lackeys cleared the way, and he walked out of Class 28, First Year, with Shi Tiexin, disappearing from the students' sight.

Clang, Zhao Qingmiao fell back onto his stool, completely limp.

The voices of Class 28 students erupted like a tidal wave, the noise becoming deafening.

"Tough, he's really tough! This new big brother is tough to the extreme!"

"Who doesn't know the notorious reputation of the Trash Class's toilet? This big brother didn't waste a single word, just 'Toilet' and then 'Lead the way.' His dominance is explosive!"

"Even Black Hand Hungry Tiger was suppressed in terms of aura. Zhou Nan, the so-called number one of Class 28, isn't even fit to carry his shoes. This new guy is truly a man among men, hardcore among the super-hardcore!"
