It's Not Arrogance for Xu Tui

"Brother Yuan, are you okay? Need me to take you to the hospital?"

Yuan Shu shot Chai Xiao a cold glare. "Get lost, this doesn't concern you. Don't go looking for trouble."

Chai Xiao's smile became a little awkward.

"Brother Yuan, this whole thing today, it's pointless to blow it up. How about we just pretend it was all a joke, an accident?

Turn a big issue into a small one, and a small issue into nothing?"

"Turn a big issue into a small one, and a small issue into nothing?"

Yuan Shu glanced coldly at Xu Tui, then said to Chai Xiao, "I understand what you mean. We're all classmates, and I don't want to ruin anyone's future.

But there needs to be a proper way to resolve this."

Yuan Shu's tone softened slightly.

"That's the spirit, Brother Yuan."

Chai Xiao gave Yuan Shu a thumbs-up. "Tell us, how do you want this handled?"

"I won't bother with the vulgarity of kneeling and kowtowing.

Just here, bow and apologize to each of us four.

Then, one hundred thousand for medical expenses each, and this matter will be settled.

If the disciplinary department shows up, I'll handle it.

At most, they'll just scold us a few times."

Before he could finish speaking, Chai Xiao's expression turned grim, but he still forced a smile.

"Brother Yuan, do me a favor, okay? Let him apologize to all four of us, and one hundred thousand for medical expenses in total, how about that?"

"Does Yuan Shu lack one hundred thousand for medical expenses?"

"Yuan Shu wants face."

"And your face, Chai Xiao, isn't worth much."

With each sentence, Yuan Shu poked Chai Xiao's chest, almost mockingly.

"I've drawn my line. Whether you cross it is your business."

He said the last sentence to Xu Tui.

Chai Xiao's face was grim and awkward.

But he still didn't turn on Yuan Shu, making one last effort. "Yuan Shu, we're all classmates, today's incident…"

"Brother Chai, no need."

Xu Tui suddenly stepped forward and put an arm around Chai Xiao's shoulder.

Putting aside his gossipy flaws, Chai Xiao was quite loyal.

For the brief half-day they'd known each other, he'd gone this far for Xu Tui, which was already quite good.

"Brother, a wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him."

"Brother Chai, I'll handle this myself. Thank you so much."

Xu Tui walked past Chai Xiao and directly in front of Yuan Shu.

Chai Xiao's lips moved, but he finally sighed and didn't say anything further.

He hoped the situation wouldn't escalate to the worst possible outcome.

Huaxia Gene Evolution University, as the top institution in the Huaxia region, handled matters with fairness.

"Yuan Shu, about today's matter, look, we're all classmates. Why don't we both take a step back? If this escalates to the disciplinary department, no one benefits," Xu Tui said to Yuan Shu.

"Is this how you apologize?"

Yuan Shu sneered. "Hey, guys, have you ever seen such an arrogant apology?"

Xu Tui's expression turned cold.

"This isn't an apology."

"Yuan Shu, the disciplinary department is already here. Do whatever you want.

But don't blame me for not giving you a chance," Xu Tui sneered.

"Heh, kid, you're quite arrogant.

You chose your path, don't regret it!" Yuan Shu sneered, looking at the arriving disciplinary department members.

"Yuan Shu, I'll say the same to you: you chose your path, don't regret it!" Xu Tui replied.

Xu Tui was genuinely trying to persuade him.

Xu Tui had figured it out. Yuan Shu wasn't inherently bad. Like many young people, he was just a bit arrogant, cared too much about face, and liked to show off. The key instigator was Ma Zixu.

If it weren't for Ma Zixu's "assist," this conflict wouldn't have happened today.

However, if Yuan Shu continued to associate closely with Ma Zixu, Xu Tui was certain Yuan Shu would suffer greatly in the future!

Chai Xiao, standing nearby, was a bit confused.

This young Xu Tui fellow seemed fine, and his previous actions were steady, accurate, and ruthless; he was clearly a sharp person.

So why was he speaking so… playfully?

Could it be that…

Huaxia Gene Evolution University's Disciplinary Department was a rather large and powerful school division.

Within Huaxia Gene Evolution University, especially in the Extreme College, a group of students with superior physical abilities and outstanding talents gathered, their hormones running wild daily, making it hard not to have some kind of incident.

Therefore, the management responsibilities of the Disciplinary Department were especially important.

However, the regulations for managing new students and currently enrolled students were different.

Throughout Huaxia Gene Evolution University, ordinary staff members of the Disciplinary Department wore black uniforms, while directors and deputy directors wore special badges.

The conflict at the Extreme College testing site was reported by the ordinary teachers at the testing site.

The report was unclear about the situation, exaggerating it somewhat, stating there might be a student seriously injured.

Upon receiving the report, the Disciplinary Department dispatched a deputy director to handle it.

The deputy director, surnamed Wang, was also a capable officer of the Disciplinary Department.

Upon arrival, seeing that the students causing the disturbance were still standing, he breathed a sigh of relief.

If they could stand, it meant the situation wasn't too serious.

However, the current scene of thousands of onlookers also indicated, from another perspective, that the incident had a significant and negative impact.

"These new students have no regard for the school's regulations for new students. Since so many people are watching today, we'll make an example of them and punish them severely!"

"Every year, there are bold new students. They haven't even completed their enrollment procedures yet, and they're already fighting and causing trouble. Well done, you're impressive!"

Deputy Director Wang, who had rushed over, praised them profusely.

The involved parties didn't know how to feel.

But the observing students, including Chai Xiao, were terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

With the Deputy Director of the Disciplinary Department saying this, there was a high probability that this incident would be made a typical case.

"Take them all back to the Disciplinary Department for isolated review..."

"Retrieve the surveillance footage and reconstruct the events."

"Randomly select twenty nearby students and teachers who witnessed this incident to provide testimony!"

The Disciplinary Department of Huaxia Gene Evolution University modeled its practices after the highest public legal department in the Huaxia region.

If students committed offenses, they would be punished until they were convinced.

No one, whether involved parties or outsiders, would have any complaints.

Several disciplinary officers in black immediately rushed forward like wolves and tigers, intending to escort the five offenders away.

"I have E-grade intermediate authority! I'm entitled to preferential treatment."

Yuan Shu voluntarily revealed his personal authority, "I came here on official business and asked him to let me pass. He refused and provoked me, and that's how the fight started."

Deputy Director Wang didn't rush to a conclusion. Instead, he first verified Yuan Shu's identity on his personal communication terminal.

"Yuan Shu, indeed possessing E-grade intermediate authority. According to regulations, you are entitled to preferential treatment.

You don't need to be taken back for isolated review; submitting a self-report will suffice."

Deputy Director Wang's handling of the situation was flawless.

This was the privilege enjoyed by those with high authority.

Among the students of Huaxia Gene Evolution University, Yuan Shu's E-grade intermediate authority was definitely high.

However, the preferential treatment for E-grade intermediate authority only applied to Yuan Shu himself.

The three students Yuan Shu brought who ganged up on Xu Tui were not so lucky.

They were immediately grabbed by the arms by the disciplinary officers in black and taken back to the Disciplinary Department.

In this situation, even if Yuan Shu wanted to help, he couldn't.

He could only stare coldly at Xu Tui.

Because next, Xu Tui would also be escorted away by the disciplinary officers in black for isolated review.

Two disciplinary officers in black instantly rushed in front of Xu Tui.

Just then, Xu Tui's personal communication device flashed a projection.

"Esteemed teachers, I have D-grade lower authority. I should also be entitled to preferential treatment, right?"

The disciplinary officers in black froze.

The surrounding students, along with Chai Xiao, froze simultaneously.

D-grade lower authority.

Had they heard correctly?

But the black-clothed disciplinary officers wouldn't mistake it.

On the personal information page Xu Tui projected, the authority column indeed displayed D-grade lower authority.

Xu Tui controlled the projection's angle and screen size to be quite small, also out of privacy considerations.

Yuan Shu instantly froze, but then he started laughing.

"Are you out of your mind?"

"D-grade lower authority?

Even if you're going to lie, at least make it believable.

Many teachers at our school don't even have D-grade lower authority, do they?"

Yuan Shu spoke, but his heart felt a little uneasy.

Because Xu Tui didn't seem mentally unstable, nor did he seem like an idiot.

How could he fabricate such a simple, easily disproven lie?

Why did it feel a bit like it was true?

Deputy Director Wang's brow furrowed as well.

His first reaction was: Impossible!

He, the deputy director of the disciplinary department, had worked hard for so many years and only had E-grade advanced authority. He was still hundreds of merit points away from D-grade lower authority.

How could an eighteen-year-old student possibly have it?

Could it be?

Under normal circumstances, there was only one possibility.

Inheritance!

At this thought, Deputy Director Wang's expression turned serious.

Could he be the descendant of an unnamed hero?

Deputy Director Wang quickly checked the dedicated system on his personal communication device.

Then, Deputy Director Wang was greatly surprised.

It wasn't inheritance.

But it was indeed D-grade lower authority.

And he had just obtained it today.

"Xu Tui, you indeed have D-grade lower authority. According to regulations, you are entitled to relative preferential treatment and a certain degree of absolute preferential treatment.

Xu Tui, please write a report detailing today's events, sign it, and submit it to the disciplinary department.

Also, please keep your communication device accessible. We will contact you if we have any questions."

As soon as Deputy Director Wang finished speaking, the surrounding students were immediately stunned.

Yuan Shu was also stunned at the same time!

And for Yuan Shu, the consequences were more than just being stunned.

This guy in front of him, who was ruthless and spoke little, actually had D-grade lower authority. This was simply...

"Could he be the descendant of a meritorious hero?"

But regardless of the circumstances, Yuan Shu immediately realized that he might be in serious trouble this time.

And it was the kind of trouble he had foolishly gotten himself into.

In that instant, Yuan Shu suddenly understood Xu Tui's earlier words, 'Don't blame me for not giving you a chance.'

It wasn't that Xu Tui was arrogant.

It was that Xu Tui was genuinely giving him a chance.

He had just missed it.

Yuan Shu felt a bit of regret.

And even more bewildered.

Out of the more than seven thousand new students at Huaxia Gene Evolution University, he was the one in seven thousand today.

And he had hit a mine.

A landmine of the anti-tank variety.

Quite powerful.

"Student Yuan Shu, according to the terms of the Huaxia Region Grand Charter and the school regulations of Huaxia Gene Evolution University, your E-grade intermediate authority, if it involves a higher-authority individual, will automatically lose its relative preferential treatment.

Please return to the disciplinary department with us for isolation and review!"

Deputy Director Wang spoke very formally. With a wave of his hand, two black-clothed disciplinary officers immediately took control of the bewildered Yuan Shu.

"All students, my name is Wang Rutie, and I am one of the deputy directors of this school's disciplinary department. Here, I want to remind all students of one thing,"

"Abide by discipline and law, study hard, and make progress every day."

"Otherwise, rain or shine, the Disciplinary Department will be with you!"

"Take them away!"

With a wave of his hand, Wang Rutie, the deputy director of the Disciplinary Department, and a group of black-clothed disciplinary officers quickly took away Yuan Shu and the other three, escorting them away.

The students watching the scene looked at Xu Tui with astonished eyes.

They were still F-grade rookies.

How did this classmate in front of them already have D-grade lower authority?

Even more students directly grabbed Xu Tui and started taking pictures, posting them on Moments on the spot.

"Caught a descendant of a martyr alive. Descendants of martyrs are indeed not cowards."

Chai Xiao also walked up to Xu Tui with a serious expression.

"Brother, I apologize. I was disrespectful.

I didn't expect you to be a descendant of a martyr. All martyrs deserve our respect.

When you have time, you must take me to pay respects to your uncle with some incense."

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"

Xu Tui looked dejected. "My dad isn't dead!

My dad is alive and well right now.

My dad is going to live to be 150 years old in the future!"

Chai Xiao was stunned.
