This Isn't Over With You

Morning, Tianshui City No. 95 Middle School.

At this moment, students were gathering on a massive playground, lining up in their respective classes. Standing shoulder to shoulder, the school's population reached at least ten thousand.

Because this Fighting Tournament was the school's annual grand event, it was equivalent to the sports meets of the previous Earth, though far more lively and met with even greater enthusiasm from the students.

Therefore, before the tournament began, the entire student body would gather to listen to the school leadership's lecture, followed by the distribution of dueling brackets, before the matches finally commenced.

Since the number of participants was limited to only those in the third year of high school, the entire tournament would conclude within a single day, ensuring it wouldn't take up too much time.

Xia Ping entered the school, arrived at the playground, and quickly located his class's formation. To his surprise, he spotted Gao Wan and Yang Wei, whom he hadn't seen in quite a while.

"Hey, brothers, long time no see." Xia Ping immediately walked up to greet them.

Gao Wan and Yang Wei had been chatting happily, but upon hearing a voice that sounded like a demon's ringing in their ears, they couldn't help but shiver. They soon saw Xia Ping, the man they wished they could beat to a pulp.

Damn it, it's only been a week, and this Xia Ping is still just as punchable. Both of them stared at Xia Ping through gritted teeth.

Xia Ping didn't care in the slightest; instead, he enthusiastically patted them on the shoulders and asked, "I didn't expect you two to be released from prison so soon. Wasn't it a seven-day detention?"

Released from prison? Released your sister! What the hell are you talking about, you bastard? Why doesn't this guy have a zipper on his mouth? Why hasn't it been sealed shut yet? Gao Wan and Yang Wei's faces turned black, and they glared viciously at this shameless scoundrel.

This guy really knew how to hit a sore spot. Who greets someone by mentioning prison? They were students, not criminals! Wasn't he clearly trying to draw the attention of the other students?

They had wanted to keep this matter low-key, to pass the remaining few months of school comfortably and safely. Now that this bastard had brought it up, their entire plan had gone down the drain.

Sure enough, upon hearing the words "released from prison," the surrounding students looked over with curiosity.

"Released from prison? What's going on? Did someone in our school go to jail?" a student from a neighboring class asked curiously, Xia Ping's words immediately igniting his gossiping nature.

"You don't know? Those two are Gao Wan and Yang Wei from Class 16 of Grade 12. A few days ago, they were taken away by a dozen police officers for streaking on campus and were detained for seven days."

"Holy crap, they actually dared to streak at school? What legends, how could they even do something like that?"

"I heard these two are perverts who planned this for years. They chose to do it right before graduation to leave their names in the school's history."

"They certainly left their names in history; there are hardly any students left who don't know them."

"Impressive. I think not only are their actions perverted, but their names are too. They really live up to them."

A group of students whispered among themselves, casting strange looks at Yang Wei and Gao Wan.

I knew nothing good would come from running into this bastard. Hearing the wave of gossip from the surrounding students, Gao Wan and Yang Wei were on the verge of tears. Their reputations in school were completely ruined.

"By the way, you two didn't have any trouble in the detention center, did you? I heard there are a lot of animals in there, and plenty of gays too," Xia Ping asked curiously. "You stayed for seven days, are you really okay? You didn't get caught up in anything while showering, did you?"

Gays?!

Hearing that word, the group of students became energized. Holy crap, there's gossip here! Reminded by Xia Ping, they also realized that a detention center wasn't exactly a pleasant place.

That place was full of criminals, all of them vicious brutes, and there was no shortage of gays among them. Two fresh, tender flowers entering a detention center—wasn't that just a lamb walking into a tiger's den?

"Caught up in your sister! We are perfectly fine, Xia Ping, stop spreading rumors here!" Gao Wan said with grief and indignation, his face turning green. He wished he could tear that big mouth of his to shreds.

No one had thought of such things until now, but this loudmouth had intentionally shouted it out, leading the surrounding students to think in that direction. If this rumor spread, how could they ever show their faces in school again?

Yang Wei also glared at Xia Ping. If he didn't suspect he couldn't beat this bastard, he would have already rushed up to give him a good beating.

Damn it, the seven days they spent in the detention center had felt like years. Being surrounded by a group of burly men and nearly losing their dignity—they had never experienced anything like this in their entire lives.

It was precisely because of this that Yang Wei and Gao Wan, who had previously had some friction, had now become "brothers in arms."

"Oh, oh, my mistake, it's my fault. I shouldn't have asked about such painful memories. You two definitely didn't have anything happen to you." Xia Ping put on an "I understand everything" expression and gave them a reassuring look, as if to say he would never leak this secret.

You understand? You understand nothing! You don't know a damn thing, so why are you acting like you do? Nothing happened to us!

It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything, but by denying it like that, wouldn't it just make others more suspicious? Gao Wan and Yang Wei were driven mad with rage.

"Painful memories? It sounds like something really happened."

"Exactly! That's a detention center. Seven days of detention, surrounded by a bunch of gays—it'd be hard for nothing to happen."

"I feel for this classmate, trying to keep their secret, not realizing it's impossible to keep."

"Everyone knows they were locked up for seven days. That's a full seven days!"

"Holy crap, that's a lot of room for imagination."

"I think this could be turned into a novel or a blockbuster movie with a hundred-million-dollar box office."

"No wonder they looked so drained earlier; they were exhausted."

"They deserve it. That's the price of being a pervert. Let's see who dares to streak at school now."

"Wanting to leave your name in history comes with a price. These two seniors are a cautionary tale."

The students sighed repeatedly, looking at Gao Wan and Yang Wei. Seeing them looking as if they had been ravaged, they were convinced that many tragic and horrific stories must have taken place over those seven days.

Xia Ping, I'm not done with you!

Gao Wan and Yang Wei looked up at the sky and sighed, their faces almost entirely green. They decided that if they didn't have a death match with this bastard, their seven days in prison would have been for nothing.

"Hey, isn't that Xiong Batian? Out of the hospital so soon? Have your injuries fully healed?"

Xia Ping ignored Gao Wan and Yang Wei, quickly noticing Xiong Batian trying to walk past them quickly. He greeted him with the same enthusiasm.
