What Use Is Fairness Without Justice?

"Yang Jin, calm down, wait a moment." Even Shen Yi was getting anxious and quickly stopped him.

Then, Wu Yang Jin slowly stopped and turned around.

"Tell me, why did you pull her away? Don't tell me you don't want to go to school?" Zhe Shi asked.

"That's right, I don't want to think about it anymore, I'm not playing anymore!" Wu Yang Jin shouted.

"You...you child, why are you so impulsive?" Zhe Shi continued.

"Elder, I wasn't being rash; I made the right choice. It was right not to go in," Wu Yang Jin replied.

"Yang Jin, no..."

"It's alright, Gu Yue, listen to me," Wu Yang Jin comforted her, continuing to hold her hand.

"Oh? Then tell me, what do you mean by thinking it's right not to enroll?" Cai Lao asked, making a fool of himself.

"It's very simple. What you find here is not fairness, but narrow-mindedness. Moreover, what you find here is nothing but arrogance and inaction. And what you find here is extremism!" Wu Yang Jin said.

Even Gu Yue was quite surprised by this. She was surprised because if things continued like this, Wu Yang Jin would not be able to enroll in school.

Gu Yue knew that even if it was truly impossible, she couldn't implicate Wu Yang Jin, but...

"Oh? To put it another way, you feel it's unfair and you're not convinced?" Cai Lao asked.

"Then I can tell you that there is no such thing as absolute fairness in this world. Fairness? If you want fairness, you have to be strong, and stop thinking about and hoping that others will give you fairness."

"Besides, only when you sit down can you bring yourself fairness. But the premise is that your strength is enough to suppress fairness and become above it."

Cai Lao explained this confidently.

"Tch, so this is how you've always been so perfunctory? Is this Shrek?" Wu Yang Jin said.

"Wu Yang Jin, watch your words," Zhe Shi said.

"Elder, I was very careful. I wasn't even more agitated; I'm grateful to myself. Fairness? There's no such thing as absolute fairness? Relying on others? How can you, Cai Lao, sit in this position and say such things?"

"As a high-level leader, as the one in charge, it's impressive, but you also have to consider the overall picture, you have to consider things from the bottom up. Is Shrek a place where someone is cold-blooded, without any human feelings, a pure monster, no, a truly inhuman person, is in charge and teaching?"

"As an elder, and an elder of the Sea God Pavilion, aren't you ashamed to give such an explanation? How powerful can you really be, arguing with a little girl?"

"You say you're superior, you say you created it yourself, but aren't you just feeling guilty? What are you talking about with all this high-sounding principles? Aren't you just too proud and unwilling to lower yourself? You could have avoided all of this from the beginning. You have the status of an elder, yet you do nothing."

"What a joke! If this is an academy, there's not a shred of fairness. You're saying you have to create your own fairness? So what you mean by fairness is just arbitrarily changing grades, doing things against your will, and creating a fairness that suits your own mood? Isn't that just about making yourself happy? Well then, I'm done playing. Goodbye!"

Wu Yang Jin had never been so angry about this before, never in his entire life.

Although he knew there were flaws in his words, he had conveyed the overall meaning.

Moreover, Gu Yue felt both heartbroken and moved seeing Wu Yang Jin like this.

"I'm sorry, Wulin, Xu Xiaoyan, Xie Xie, and Meier, Gu Yue and I will be leaving now. I'm truly sorry for letting you see such a reckless side of me as the class monitor. Remember, the class monitor will always be yours too."

"Hehehe, I won't listen!" Xu Xiaoyan suddenly said at this moment.

This sudden change in atmosphere almost left Wu Yang Jin completely bewildered.

"Squad leader, you can't say that. I never wanted to be a Soul Master; it was my elders at home who forced me. Besides, if it weren't for you all, I wouldn't have been able to persevere."

"Besides, after traveling this far, I feel like something's not right here. I'm not used to it. Let's go back."

Xu Xiaoyan was unaware of this at first, as she walked over and took the arms of the two of them.

"Hey, you actually ran away, that won't do." At this moment, Xie Xie pulled Xu Xiaoyan away and put his arm around Wu Yang Jin's shoulder.

"Hey, don't look at me like that. To be honest, they said my talent is only above average, so Shrek Academy probably doesn't think much of me. But don't you guys think about abandoning me," Xie Xie said.

"Oh? Xie Xie, aren't you afraid I'll talk back to you again?" Gu Yue suddenly said.

"So what? No matter what, we're comrades, practically family. Besides, let me tell you, we've studied, lived, and trained together for so long. When we finally managed to kill that Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, I swore in my heart that I would stick with Wu Yang Jin and you guys for life! So don't even think about getting rid of me. I can only become stronger by following you guys," Xie Xie said.

"Oh, Xie Xie, thank you," Wu Yang Jin said.

"What's the big deal? We're brothers," Xie Xie replied.

And so, the team grew to four.

"Elders, I'm leaving now. Since Wu Yang Jin isn't here, I won't be either. Besides, spending these past few days with everyone has given me a lot to learn. And perhaps I feel that as long as I follow them, my life hasn't been in vain," said Hu Meier.

Then, Hu Meier walked over to the group, leaving only Tang Wu Lin.

"Elder, I want to know, is absolute fairness really as you say it is?" Tang Wu Lin asked in a low voice.

"That's right, that's exactly it. Why?" Cai Lao replied.

"Since that's the case, then I also feel that Shrek Academy is not suitable for me, and I will go with them. Yang Jin, we've known each other since we were little. Many times, I can't do without him. He's my brother, and he's my family, so I'm leaving too," Tang Wu Lin said.

"Wulin ..."

"It's alright, Yang Jin. As long as we're together, it's not too late to come back once things are fair," Tang Wu Lin said.

At this point, all the students in Class Zero had chosen to withdraw from the Shrek Academy and would not rejoin.

"Oh, then I'm sorry to trouble everyone. Well then, Martial Aunt Shen, I'm sorry. It seems we definitely have to leave now. So, where is my brother?" Wu Yang Jin asked.

"This... sigh..."

At this moment, Shen Yi was at a loss for what to do, feeling depressed and complicated, with a mix of emotions swirling in his heart.

"Fine, fine! You guys are all stubborn! So arrogant! As expected of Chang Kong, you've raised such stubborn kids. Especially you. Fine, since that's how it is, you're all good. Get out of here, all of you get out!" Zhe Shi roared.
