102 Friendly Mutual Aid (Physical)

"They're arguing so fiercely." Hobbes scratched his head. "It's the Silus Race, which is troublesome. They are staunch blood allies of our Crystal Tower, warriors who have been fighting on the front lines for years. They are tough and might start fighting."

"Why don't you call security when the students are causing trouble here?" Li Aoz asked.

As soon as Li Aoz finished speaking, a passerby immediately said disdainfully:

"Huh? Do you think a security guard earning a few thousand yuan a month would dare to mediate with these foreigners, people from another planet?"

"That's exactly right. Given the special status of students at this school, the security of the college is basically managed and self-governed by student groups, such as the Student Union. As long as they can't manage it, private fights and duels are completely left to chance."

Hobbes shrugged:

"However, at this time, the Student Union members should be busy guiding the new students, so they probably won't be able to come over for a while."

It's not surprising that different places have different political environments.

A passerby complained, "Arguing is one thing, but blocking traffic is just too unethical."

Li Aoz nodded, but before he could say anything, the men and women of the Silus Race started arguing again.

"I'll give you a chance, Lucite Caostros —drop out of school right now, and I might forgive you for showing your face in front of me again. Otherwise, I won't be as ladylike as usual..."

"If I drop out of school now, where will I go?"

"Go somewhere cool and stay there—anyway, Armored Species like you who isn't fully evolved can survive even if you're thrown into the sewers."

The woman from the Silus Race, known as Bei Chonggui Ming, sneered, casually tossing her luggage on the ground, rubbing her hands together in anticipation. Meanwhile, the man, constantly humiliated and discriminated against, remained restrained and rational. Seemingly noticing the discussion among Li Aoz and the others, he nodded slightly in apology.

"I'm very sorry for the trouble I've caused everyone."

"Stop pretending to be a gentleman! If you're so capable, let's see what you're capable of! Let everyone see what a scumbag, a perverted, despicable monster you are, who has been chasing and harassing me ever since you couldn't win me over!"

Bei Chonggui Ming's tone was affected, and her voice was high-pitched, but she was, after all, a woman, especially a beautiful and slender foreigner. Coupled with her gorgeous clothes, she didn't seem to come from an ordinary family. This was quite alluring to the hot-blooded freshmen.

In just a few words, she described the image of a lecherous man who followed her all the way to the university. Such behavior would be considered quite despicable even by male students. In addition, the stark contrast between Lucite's ugly and terrifying appearance and the beautiful and charming Bei Chonggui Ming would make anyone feel sympathy for the woman at first glance.

"That's enough, can't you see the woman is unwilling?"

"We need to teach this kind of person a lesson. We're already in the Interstellar Era. If you can't control your lower body, you can go back to the zoo. There are plenty of zookeepers to help you with your breeding problems."

"My sister's tough style is so cool! We can't tolerate this kind of person. Honestly, she doesn't even look at herself. Just thinking about being in the same school as someone like that makes me feel physically uncomfortable. It's terrifying."

Seeing that the situation was increasingly favoring the woman, Bei Chonggui Ming stood proudly with one hand on his hip.

"Hey, is there anything else to say?"

"You're asking me?"

Lucite turned his head to the side, his fist clenched tightly, his reddish fluorescent eyes flickering slightly:

"If you can expel others with just a word, then I think everyone shouldn't be afraid of me. I can be expelled. The one who should really be afraid is you, Miss Bei Chonggui Ming."

"You!"

"Everyone, at least be careful. Although I, Lucite, may look like a child who can stop crying at night and be universally disliked, I am at least not so scary as to make people drop out of school."

Lucite retorted sharply, "But if we provoke Ms. Bei Chonggui Ming, then we'll have no choice but to turn back."

"You incompletely evolved Armored Species, you can't expect anything good to come out of your dog mouth! You want to provoke me, don't you? Well, so be it!"

Bei Chonggui Ming raised his voice, casually pulled an expensive Spa from his pocket, and threw it on the ground. "Come on! Don't be a coward, if you've got the guts, come and duel. Let's settle this with magic!"

This move immediately stirred up a crowd that had previously been merely observing indifferently.

"Wow! That's exciting! A duel on the very first day of school for freshmen!" The students next to Hobbes immediately stirred up a commotion, and people started discussing it intensely.

Even some second-year students passing by weren't surprised by the scene, and some even started a live stream.

"Great! Let's fight! I want to see rivers of blood!" The student to Li Aoz's left was even more excited, which surprised Li Aoz quite a bit—even if it were an international exhibition, there wouldn't be such excitement, would there?

Surrounded by these students, Li Aoz felt that even his live broadcast of the explosion against Verrazzi a few days ago was less attention-grabbing than a duel between a man and a woman arguing.

He tugged at the indifferent Hobbes and asked:

"Hobbes, the freshmen haven't received combat magic training, what's so interesting about their fighting?"

"That's simple," Hobbes said. "Because duels can earn you points."

"...What is that?" Li Aoz thought he had misheard.

"As I mentioned before, under the workshop system, the mentors have a lot of requirements and power over the students, right? But every mentor can be said to be a busy Industrialists and academic researcher. It is impossible for them to be comprehensive and fully understand every student."

Hobbes explained:

"Therefore, in traditional schools, duels, competitions, grades, and various positive deeds are the criteria for mentors to select students. Duels can directly reveal a student's practical skills, psychological qualities, and ambition, so they are considered a significant factor in the selection process."

"Fighting itself is not unusual, but if someone fights well in a duel, they might become your rival. Moreover, the witnessing of so many people is also a kind of tacit understanding. When it's your turn to duel, everyone will stop to watch you and witness it for you."

Li Aoz immediately pointed out the truth of the matter.

"You're right, this is the campus mechanism under student self-governance! Everything relies on tacit understanding and unspoken rules to maintain order."

After saying that, Hobbes added sarcastically:

"Speaking of which, Brother Lioz, I've noticed that as soon as the topic turns to competition for interests and cutthroat competition, your mind immediately becomes sharper than anyone else's."

"No, I'm not very bright."

Li Aoz replied dismissively.

In fact, he had been keeping an eye on Hobbes.

Whether it was his unusual behavior during his enrollment, the mysterious Mental Power ring, or his detailed understanding of school rules and phenomena, all of these were enough to prove that this person's background was not simple.

Hobbes reacted quickly and immediately noticed Li Aoz's gaze. He naturally changed the subject. "However, that woman Bei Chonggui Ming is really mean. She actually brought up magic duels with Armored Species."

"Is there a problem?" Li Aoz didn't know anything about this race.

"That's a big problem..." Hobbes said. "Imagine a hare asking a tortoise to race him, or a tortoise asking a hare to swim him."

"Bei Chonggui Ming, judging from this name, must be the Bei Zhong Clan of the Silus Race, a very important clan. They have provided a lot of assistance to our Thanatos Human Race."

"The Armored Species of the Silus Race has a very weak innate spellcasting ability. There are very few Spellcasters among them. In their civilization, most of them hold positions as workers and soldiers, and their level of education is not high."

"Think about it, with this kind of environment and background, how can you expect others to compete with him in magic? Even if those who come to this school have good spellcasting talent, can their education and magical practice be the same?"

"She's really a coward, but has this woman never won a game since she was a child? She's such a sore loser."

Li Aoz commented.

"Maybe we really can't afford to play this game..." Hobbes chuckled.

He was initially quite impatient and wanted to hurry up and get the book, but Hobbes's words piqued his curiosity.

However, the object of his curiosity was not the beautiful and charming Bei Chonggui Ming, but the 'perverted Armored Species ' Lucite Caostros.
