The series of problems caused by Du Qiangwei beating up the male students finally drew the school's attention the next day. The higher-ups decided to hold a unified meeting for all teachers and students in the largest building at the center of Super Seminary. Teachers and students from the regular classes were required to attend as well.
It was an enormous auditorium, large enough to hold nearly ten thousand people. But when Wei Zitong and the others entered, they were somewhat dumbfounded.
The entire school, regular classes included, had no more than a thousand teachers and students. The Super God Class was even more pitiful—there were fewer than thirty people even counting the teachers...
So few people in such a massive auditorium made it seem incomparably empty.
Wei Zitong and the others casually found seats near the back, while Ge Xiaolun kept looking around. Wei Zitong knew what he was looking for and said with a grin, "Stop looking. She's the 'main character' today. Beating up fellow students—tsk, tsk, tsk. More than thirty people were hospitalized, and over twenty dropped out!"
Ge Xiaolun looked deeply worried upon hearing that and hurriedly asked, "What should we do? Will she get expelled?"
"You're overthinking it!" Wei Zitong said. "Even if she beat all those people to death, the academy still wouldn't expel her!"
"Really?" Ge Xiaolun clearly did not believe him.
"Do I get paid for lying to you?" Wei Zitong rolled his eyes irritably.
"Heh heh heh!" Ge Xiaolun scratched his head awkwardly. Just as he was about to say something, Zhao Xin drew his attention with a "Wow, top-tier beauty!"
Wei Zitong looked over as well and saw Qilin. He knew she had joined, but she kept such a low profile that he had hardly ever seen her.
"Hey, hey, hey, isn't that the pretty little police officer? She joined too?" Liu Chuang's eyes immediately lit up as he patted Wei Zitong and Ge Xiaolun on the shoulders.
It was not just him. The other boys, Cheng Yaowen included, all looked like hungry wolves!
"You know her?" Cheng Yaowen asked in surprise.
"She arrested us and threw us in the station. What do you think?" Wei Zitong said with a bitter smile.
Upon hearing that, Liu Chuang looked utterly unlucky, while Ge Xiaolun's face was filled with embarrassment.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Uniform temptation!" Cheng Yaowen did not care about any of that. All he cared about was whether she was beautiful.
"Damn, she won't start arresting people again after joining, will she?" Zhao Xin immediately grew timid. After all, he had been a street tough back in the harbor district.
He just was not as unruly as Liu Chuang. More precisely, he had been influenced by the once-popular movie Young and Dangerous and wanted to become a righteous boss. He liked standing up for the weak, but fighting and brawling were commonplace, so dealing with cops was unavoidable.
"Probably not. Compared to the police station, this place belongs to a higher-level security department. You should be more afraid of this place!" Wei Zitong said with a smile.
"Damn it, what a scam!" Zhao Xin and Liu Chuang shouted at the same time, nearly getting up to run away. But when they saw Wei Zitong's smug grin, they calmed down again. "You're messing with us?"
"I'm not messing with you." Wei Zitong wiped the smile off his face and said, "You've already come here, so you can't keep looking at things the way you used to. You're no longer street punks. You need to be aware of that!"
"That sounds so damn reasonable!" Zhao Xin looked disgusted. He did not like being lectured, especially by someone his own age.
"Zi Tong is right." Cheng Yaowen strongly agreed with Wei Zitong. "No matter what identities we had before, once we entered Super Seminary and joined Xiong Bing Lian, we could only be soldiers—warriors!"
Zhao Xin still wanted to say something, but the meeting had already begun. Ryze the Wanderer took the stage; there was no sign of any principal or dean.
"Teachers, students, good morning. I am Ryze the Wanderer." Ryze the Wanderer began an impassioned speech from the podium, completely ignoring the tremendous impact his appearance had on the regular-class students' worldview. A few timid girls were even frightened into tears.
While Ryze the Wanderer spoke above them, Wei Zitong and the others had no interest in listening. After watching with amusement as the thousand-year-old monster traumatized the regular-class students, they began chatting among themselves again.
"By the way, I heard Teacher Liu say that a Goddess is coming in a few days. What do we do?" Wei Zitong was the first to bring it up. Ryze the Wanderer had not actually said so, but Wei Zitong knew she was coming. He just did not know when, so he used the vague phrase "in a few days."
"When did he say that?" Ge Xiaolun asked.
"Who cares? We flirt with her!" Zhao Xin said indifferently.
"Oh, no, that's wrong. I misspoke. She's a female God, not a Goddess. I heard she's coming specifically to punish us!" Wei Zitong said.
"Damn, are we getting punished every day now?" Zhao Xin's expression immediately darkened. "Hasn't Du Qiangwei tortured us badly enough? My waist still hurts!"
"Didn't they say there would be another round of assessments?" Cheng Yaowen said. "It's probably this Goddess."
"When is she coming? Should we go together when she arrives?" Liu Chuang asked.
"Let's go. Call the others from the class too. If something really happens, we can all get screwed together!" Cheng Yaowen said, glancing at the other members of the Super God Class.
"That's right!" Liu Chuang nodded forcefully. "That's exactly the feeling!"
"By the way, aren't you going to talk about what she looks like?" Zhao Xin asked in confusion.
"No need!" Wei Zitong said. "I think Qiangwei is the prettiest. No one else can compare!" As he spoke, he glanced at Ge Xiaolun and, sure enough, saw the hostile look the guy gave him.
"No way. Qiangwei is too violent. That police beauty from earlier is still the best!" Cheng Yaowen waved a hand. "She has a gentle personality, and her figure and looks are no worse than Qiangwei's!"
"Damn, why do I feel like they're all Goddesses?" Zhao Xin said gloomily.
"You're a loser!"
Wei Zitong and Cheng Yaowen said in unison.
"What are you talking about?"
A chilly voice came from beside Wei Zitong. Then Du Qiangwei appeared in the seat next to him. Seeing her sitting with one leg crossed over the other and her arms folded across her chest, Wei Zitong did not feel even the slightest amazement. His scalp simply went numb!
Everyone immediately fell silent, especially Cheng Yaowen, who had just called Du Qiangwei violent. His face instantly crumpled like a bitter melon, because a throwing knife kept flickering beside his neck!
Ge Xiaolun's eyes went wide, and he nearly could not hold himself back from rushing over to fight Wei Zitong to the death!
"I heard you think I'm the prettiest? That no one else can compare?" Du Qiangwei spoke without any emotion, but to Wei Zitong, it sounded like a thunderclap. Was she trying to force Ge Xiaolun to fight him to the death?
"I just said it casually..." Wei Zitong said in a low voice. "Can you not mess with me like this? You should know why I said that, right?"
"What else could it be for?" Du Qiangwei said disdainfully. "Wasn't it just to use me as a prop?"
"..." Wei Zitong leaned back in his chair and took a deep breath, having nothing to say. Since Du Qiangwei had brought that matter up again, he truly had nothing he could say.
"How did you know Lena was coming?" Du Qiangwei forcibly changed the subject. "I can count on one hand the number of times Teacher Liu has met with you. He couldn't possibly have told you!"
"Are you sure you can really keep an eye on me?" Wei Zitong asked back. Right in front of Du Qiangwei, he recited, "You can't see me," and his figure vanished...
Du Qiangwei froze for a moment and raised her hand, intending to test the seat that now appeared empty. But a large hand pushed hers aside, and Wei Zitong's voice sounded beside her ear. "Don't touch me randomly. I'm only invisible, not gone!"
As he spoke, Wei Zitong removed the invisibility effect and reappeared before everyone. Zhao Xin and the others, seeing this for the first time, could not help crying out, "Holy shit!" Liu Chuang and Ge Xiaolun, however, were already used to it.
"It really is amazing!" Du Qiangwei nodded. "How about this: when Lena comes, you'll be the first to challenge her. I can let everything that happened before slide!"
"You might as well send him!" Wei Zitong pointed at Ge Xiaolun. He knew Du Qiangwei was also wary of Lena, because she too was one of Lena's assessment targets. She needed cannon fodder to probe Lena's capabilities. "He can take a beating!"
Du Qiangwei turned her gaze toward Ge Xiaolun. The hostility in Ge Xiaolun's eyes toward Wei Zitong immediately withered. He hesitated for a long time, seemingly making up his mind, then raised his head and said with a determined expression, "All right! I can do it!"
This was the first promise he had made to the girl he loved, and it was especially solemn!
But after receiving his answer, Du Qiangwei did not even look at Ge Xiaolun again. She tossed out, "Fine, it's settled," and vanished from her seat.
