"You keep running your mouth, and I'll kill you!" Dai Mubai said furiously, shooting Ma Hongjun warning looks nonstop.
But Ma Hongjun seemed completely unable to read his expression. "What did I say? You've been having fun with that pair of twins these past few days, and you never even invited me!"
Xiao Wu couldn't help bursting out laughing.
We told you not to say anything, fine, we'll humor you and keep quiet.
But this fatty clearly wasn't doing you any favors!
"You!"
Dai Mubai felt his self-control was about to snap. At that moment, he genuinely thought Zhang Tianyu had done a beautiful job beating him up earlier.
Why hadn't he beaten this fatty to death?!
But just as he managed to get one word out, Zhu Zhuqing put down her bowl and turned away, leaving the cafeteria with a cold expression.
She hadn't even looked at Dai Mubai once the entire time.
Watching her retreating figure disappear,
Dai Mubai slumped into his chair like a deflated ball.
"It's over. It's all over."
"What's wrong, Boss Dai? You're acting weird today!" Ma Hongjun still hadn't caught on, and asked without a clue.
Dai Mubai sprang up and seized him by the throat. "You stupid fatty, are you an idiot or what?! I told you to stop talking, I told you to stop talking, and you just kept going! Are you an idiot? Are you?!"
"Cough, cough! Ah, I'm dying, I'm dying, I'm dying~!" Ma Hongjun rolled his eyes wildly.
Dai Mubai let go helplessly and slumped back into his chair. Even strangling Ma Hongjun to death now wouldn't help.
Only then did Ma Hongjun finally catch on. He turned to look in the direction Zhu Zhuqing had gone and asked, "Boss Dai, don't tell me you're trying to get with that girl?"
"Hey, you should've said so earlier! Why didn't you say so earlier? Huh? Why didn't you say so earlier? You should've told me! Don't worry, from now on, we'll say nice things about you whenever she's around!"
Dai Mubai gave him a look like he was an idiot. "Don't you think it's too late?"
Dai Mubai looked pretty pitiful at that moment, but nobody felt sorry for him,
because he'd brought it on himself.
Dai Mubai had no appetite for the rest of the meal,
but everyone else ate quite well, Ma Hongjun included.
When everyone had nearly finished eating, the assembly bell rang.
Dai Mubai finally shook off his dejection and said, "That's the dean's signal for everyone to gather. Come on, let's hurry."
Ma Hongjun hurried too. "The dean doesn't like people being late. Quick, quick, quick!"
The group quickly made their way to the training field.
When they arrived,
the first thing they saw was a gleaming bald head.
Bright,
very bright,
blindingly bright!
It reflected the sunlight like a glowing flare!
That's right!
That gleaming bald head belonged to Oscar!
Ah, seeing that bald head instantly made everyone's mood ten thousand times better!
It went without saying that Oscar had shaved his head.
After his sausage cart had burned yesterday, the back of his head had been left completely bald.
He couldn't exactly keep hair in the front while leaving the back bald, could he?
That would look even uglier and more awkward, so he'd simply shaved it all off.
Having to stand in front of the new junior students with a bald head, showing off such an ugly sight, Oscar felt like dying!
Right!
After messing with Oscar, it was naturally Tang San's turn.
The two targets of the missions were Tang San and Ma Hongjun. Zhang Tianyu hadn't forgotten either one!
Flender strode over.
Zhang Tianyu's eyes lit up. Now was the moment. He aimed at Tang San and used the item [Heart Whisper]!
Success!
For a while, Tang San would be unable to stop himself from saying what was on his mind, and the effect of [Foul Mouth] would be amplified!
The added effect [Consciousness Confusion] meant Tang San wouldn't realize he was speaking his thoughts, much less that he was insulting anyone.
Tang San froze when he saw Flender. Wasn't this the scammer he'd run into a few days ago? What was he doing here?
Could he actually be the dean?
Flender walked up to the eight students and stopped.
His distinctive, slightly hoarse voice, tinged with a magnetic quality, rang out. "This year has been quite good. We've gained five more Little Monsters. I'm Flender, dean of Shrek Academy, and I welcome you on behalf of the academy. Later, each of you will pay one hundred Gold Soul Coins to Teacher Li, who's in charge of the finances. Mubai."
Before he could say another word, Tang San suddenly spoke up:
"So you really are the dean of this damn scammer academy!"
Those words hit like a bomb!
Everyone was shocked! The whole field fell silent!
Dai Mubai stood rooted to the spot, completely dumbfounded!
Oscar's eyes widened in horror!
Zhang Tianyu, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing all looked baffled!
That's right, even Zhu Zhuqing, who'd kept her face cold the entire time, finally showed a change in expression!
Ma Hongjun was the first to react. He glared at Tang San and snapped, "Hey! What are you saying?"
Only then did Zhang Tianyu remember that Ma Hongjun was Flender's student, so it was only natural for him to step forward and challenge Tang San at a time like this.
"I said he's a damn scammer! It's true—he fleeced me for several hundred Gold Soul Coins a few days ago." Tang San pointed at Flender.
"You!"
Ma Hongjun was about to move, but Flender immediately called out, "Hongjun!"
Ma Hongjun took a deep breath and stepped aside.
Flender walked up to Tang San. "I clearly marked the price. If you thought it was too expensive, you didn't have to buy it. Why call me a scammer and say I cheated you? And why insult me?"
"Setting that aside, now that you've joined the academy, I'm your dean. You should at least show me some respect, shouldn't you?"
Flender's tone was fairly calm, but everyone could tell he was furious inside.
"Go to hell, you stinking bastard! When did I insult you?" Tang San stared straight at Flender. "You damn bastard kept changing the price, raising it again and again. You only kept ripping me off because you knew I wanted to buy it, didn't you? Calling you a scammer is damn well—"
Bang!
Before Tang San could finish, Flender blasted him away.
Bang!
Tang San's back slammed hard into the wall of a small building, and he passed out on the spot.
Flender was far more powerful than Director Su had been!
"Mubai!"
"Here, Dean!" Dai Mubai jolted and answered immediately.
"Throw him out!" Flender shouted angrily. "I don't care if he's a genius or a monster. If he doesn't know how to respect his teachers, the academy won't take him!"
"Uh, this... yes!" Dai Mubai glanced at Zhang Tianyu. He knew Tang San was Zhang Tianyu's good friend, but there was nothing he could do now.
Everyone had seen Tang San disrespect Flender first.
"Wait a moment, Dean," Zhang Tianyu said quickly. "We came here with Tang San. Grandmaster recommended that he come here. Dean, do you know Grandmaster?"
"Grandmaster?" Flender froze. "Yu Xiaogang? Yu Xiaogang sent him here?"
Zhang Tianyu and Xiao Wu hurriedly nodded. "Tang San became Grandmaster's disciple."
Flender furrowed his brow and fell silent for a few seconds. Then he said, "Don't throw him out just yet. Mubai, wake him up. I have something to ask him!"
