Righteous and Inspiring Good Person, My Name is Qin Qi, No Need to Thank Me!

The second class of the morning was Martial Souls, and the instructor was none other than Teacher Zhao.

Teacher Zhao gave a simple explanation of the relationship between Martial Souls and Spirit Power, while also providing a demonstration for the students.

She showed the difference in power between a basic Martial Soul and one augmented by Spirit Power.

Qin Qi earned one hundred credits in this class, which was less than in the academic subjects, simply because Teacher Zhao spent most of the time answering various questions from the students, resulting in fewer credits being awarded.

When class ended, Teacher Zhao called Qin Qi aside.

"Boss Wang, Qin Qi just got called away by the teacher!"

"Should we follow them and take a look?"

"Better not, have you forgotten the beating we took?"

Some of the group wanted to go check it out, while others were reluctant, so eventually, everyone turned their eyes toward Wang Sheng.

Having served as the boss of the academy for many years, Wang Sheng still held a great deal of prestige.

"We go! Our internal conflicts are our own, but no matter what, he is a work-study student."

"If he's in trouble, we have to find a way to help!"

Wang Sheng hesitated for a moment before making his decision. What Qin Qi said last night might have been to distract him, but it was also the truth. Although Wang Sheng wasn't particularly strong, he was well-deserving of the title of boss.

The group ran to the door of the teacher's office and quietly eavesdropped on what was being said inside.

"I spoke to the principal about your situation, and he agreed. You're quite lucky, too."

"Five days from now, the sixth-grade class is heading to the Soul Hunting Forest for a soul-hunting expedition."

"You can just tag along with them when the time comes," Teacher Zhao said.

"Thank you, Teacher Zhao. But... I don't have any money. This is my first time selling myself," Qin Qi said, looking at Teacher Zhao with a bashful expression. There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Since he had no money, he only had his handsome face to offer.

"What are you thinking about, you little brat?" Teacher Zhao was stunned for a second before she burst into laughter and flicked Qin Qi on the forehead.

"I helped you report this because I am your teacher; it is my duty."

"Besides, having a genius like you in my class means the principal will hold me in higher regard in the future."

"If you become famous one day, I, as your academy teacher, will be able to bask in some of that glory."

Teacher Zhao looked at Qin Qi. It wasn't that she didn't want anything in return, but what she wanted wouldn't come at the expense of Qin Qi's interests.

"Is, is that so? Well, Teacher Zhao, actually, you could want something else, too."

"After all, Teacher, you are so beautiful."

Qin Qi crossed his arms and flashed a very honest smile.

"Smart-aleck." Teacher Zhao looked at Qin Qi, her smile deepening.

"I'm telling the truth," Qin Qi said, putting on a very innocent expression.

"Go on, go on. Save that talk for the little girls around you; I'm not falling for it." Teacher Zhao laughed and shooed Qin Qi out. "Come find me at the office on the morning of the fifth day, and I'll take you to meet up with the dean and the others."

"Yes, Teacher, I understand." Qin Qi nodded and turned to leave.

"This child... he looks so well-behaved, but he's such a smooth talker. I really can't tell if he's honest or not." Teacher Zhao shook her head with a smile. She had a very good impression of Qin Qi; he was truly good-looking, and combined with that simple, honest smile, he was very easy to like.

Qin Qi walked out of the office and ran into Wang Sheng and the others.

"What's this? Looking to jump me?" Qin Qi asked as he looked at them.

"No, we saw you get called into the office alone and were worried something happened."

"So, what did you do? Why did the teacher need to lecture you privately?"

Wang Sheng hurriedly offered an explanation; he was truly terrified of Qin Qi. The first time was an accident, but could the second time really be an accident too?

Wang Sheng was no fool; he didn't believe that Qin Qi had beaten him simply by being shameless.

"What do you mean 'lecturing' me? The teacher was giving me private tutoring."

Qin Qi said with a smile.

"Giving you private tutoring? On what grounds?"

Wang Sheng was stunned. He had been at the school for six years, so why had no one ever given him private tutoring?

"On the grounds that I'm handsome."

Qin Qi smiled and patted Wang Sheng on the shoulder, then prepared to think of other ways to make money to get through these five days.

"No, wait, I look pretty good too. My mom says I'm quite handsome as well."

"Wait for me! Tell me what exactly happened."

Wang Sheng watched Qin Qi walk away, his heart filled with curiosity about what had actually transpired in the office just now.

As Wang Sheng chased after Qin Qi, a formal student on the side of the road suddenly stuck out a foot and tripped him.

"Thud!"

Wang Sheng fell face-first onto the ground, but he scrambled back up immediately.

"Liu Long, are you looking for trouble on purpose, you jerk!"

Wang Sheng stood up and glared at the person behind him with a dark expression; that person was in the same grade as him.

They had fought many times in the past, and Wang Sheng had lost almost every single time, yet he had never once backed down.

"You tripped yourself. How can you blame me?"

Liu Long wore a provocative expression, and the formal students around him began to gather closer.

"That's right, that's right. We saw it; you just tripped yourself."

"You work-study students are nothing but trash. You can even trip while walking on flat ground."

"I remember this guy Wang Sheng has a Fierce Tiger martial soul, right?"

"What Fierce Tiger? He's just a little kitten."

The surrounding formal students began to jeer.

The work-study students around Wang Sheng also walked over, gritting their teeth and glaring fiercely at the formal students opposite them.

Although they were terrified in their hearts and knew they couldn't win if a real fight broke out, they couldn't lose their spirit!

If they backed down now, they would be bullied endlessly in the future, so they had to resist!

"You jerk... isn't it just a fight you want? Come on, step out and duel me one-on-one!"

Wang Sheng said through gritted teeth.

"You all heard that. This was his own suggestion; it's not like I'm bullying him on purpose."

Liu Long stepped forward, summoned his Martial Staff martial soul, and prepared to put on a show of beating a tiger with a staff.

But just before the fight could begin, Qin Qi walked over.

"Stop!"

Qin Qi roared.

"We... we haven't even started yet."

Liu Long looked at the aggressive Qin Qi, stunned for a moment before speaking blankly.

"Don't lay a hand on my roommate. If you want to fight, come at me!"

Qin Qi took two steps forward, speaking with righteous indignation.

"Qin Qi, you... this has nothing to do with you. They're here to cause trouble for me!"

Wang Sheng looked at Qin Qi, who had stepped forward, and spoke with a moved expression.

"No, we haven't started yet. I haven't even made a move."

Liu Long looked at Qin Qi and offered an explanation.

"Wang Sheng, even though we have our conflicts, that is ultimately a matter between us!"

"Now that outsiders are bullying our work-study students, I must stand up, because I am also a part of the work-study group!"

"By the way, do these guys have any money?"

Qin Qi wasn't doing this just to defeat these people and loot their wealth; that was only a secondary goal.

His main purpose was to defend the dignity of the work-study students; after all, he was one of them!

If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold!

"Qin Qi... I misjudged you before. You're a good guy. And yes, they have plenty of money!"

Wang Sheng was so moved he was on the verge of tears as he spoke.

"No, what does this have to do with whether we have money or not?"

"One final addition: Wang Sheng is right. Unlike you poor bumpkins, we are very wealthy!"

Liu Long was a bit confused about what was happening, but he spoke up proudly nonetheless.

"Come on, I'll challenge you to a one-on-one!"

Qin Qi pointed at Liu Long and spoke.

"Fine, beating anyone is the same as beating anyone else. Come on, let's fight!"

Liu Long summoned his Martial Soul, Martial Staff, once again, then took his stance, ready for battle.

"Eh? What did you say? Did you agree? Or did you disagree?"

Qin Qi put on an expression as if he hadn't heard clearly due to the chaotic noise around them, and he walked toward Liu Long quite naturally.
