As Director Liu's voice rang out.
A sound came from the classroom, followed by a burst of footsteps.
A tall figure appeared at the door. He stood well over 1.9 meters tall, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
After glancing at them, the boy said, "Old Liu, Old Mo said to let these two in. You can leave now."
This boy actually called Director Liu Old Liu!
Qi Tian had gotten points deducted just for calling him that!
Yet Director Liu was not angry. Instead, he chuckled. "All right, I'll leave them to you. Oh, right, this one is Principal Qi's nephew..."
The boy curled his lip. "Old Liu, don't you know the rules of Gemini Class? Forget the principal's nephew—even if he were the governor's son, he'd have to lie flat once he got here!"
Fang Bai narrowed his eyes.
None of the people here were easy prey!
Director Liu laughed and shook his head. "Fine, then I won't interfere. Have fun."
With that, he gave Fang Bai and Qi Tian a helpless look before leaving.
After Director Liu left, the boy raised his chin. "New here?"
Fang Bai smiled and nodded. "Yes."
The boy pointed his thumb at the plaque on the door. "See that? Remember your class—Gemini Class! Everyone here is a Dual Element Awakener. I hope you two don't drag our class down."
"My name is Wu Cuo. You can call me Brother Wu."
Fang Bai and Qi Tian looked at each other.
Had they fucking entered some gangster class?
"Little Wu, what are you babbling about? Let them in."
An impatient voice sounded from inside.
"Coming!"
Wu Cuo hurriedly answered, then winked at Fang Bai and Qi Tian. "Come in."
Fang Bai nodded. "Let's go in."
They were both extremely curious about their new class.
The moment they entered the classroom, thick smoke choked them, making them cough violently on instinct.
"Well, well! Two newcomers who don't smoke?"
"Hehe, they don't smoke now. Give it some time, and that might change. Look at Old Six—he's a proper chain-smoker now."
"Huh? They're only Tier 1? How did weaklings like this pass the assessment?"
"The other one's kind of useless too. So delicate and fair-skinned—one look tells you he's some rich second-generation kid built up on resources."
"This is getting interesting."
"..."
Teasing voices rose one after another.
"Turn on the lights."
At the sound of a calm voice, there was a click, and the classroom lights came on.
Only then did Fang Bai and Qi Tian clearly see the scene inside.
There were no desks in the spacious classroom, only a podium. A stool sat in front of it, and a man lounged on the stool with his feet propped atop the podium and a textbook covering his face. Apart from him, seven or eight students were gathered together, two of them shirtless, playing... poker?
At a glance, the place looked exactly like some gangster den.
"This... is our class?"
Qi Tian asked with an odd expression.
Fang Bai said faintly, "I'd like to know too."
"Hey! Newbie, go pour your senior a glass of water."
A shirtless boy called out to Fang Bai.
Fang Bai glanced at the water dispenser nearby, then looked at him and grinned. "Sure. Five points, and I'll do it."
The moment he said that, the laughter stopped.
The students sitting together looked over in surprise.
Even the man atop the podium raised his head. The book slid from his face, revealing a handsome and refined countenance.
The boy who had called out to Fang Bai narrowed his eyes, then rose to his feet with a smile. "What did you say? Your senior didn't hear you."
The others also looked over teasingly, their eyes full of amusement.
Fang Bai's smile did not change. "I said, five points, and I can pour you some water."
"Mm, I can pour two cups too."
The boy raised a brow. "My name is Han Ju."
Fang Bai nodded. "Classmate Han, what do you think?"
"Haha! Han Bujv, looks like he doesn't know you at all!"
"Tsk, tsk, you got slapped in the face, didn't you? I'd be mad too. Go on, show them what you've got."
"Pretty gutsy! A Jie, they were just like you when you first came here. But you've become obedient now."
"Fuck off! Yang Wei, why are you barking like a dog? Believe it or not, I'll beat the shit out of you?"
"..."
Everyone began egging them on.
Han Ju's face had already turned cold. He narrowed his eyes. "Newbies, don't you know to respect the old and cherish the young? No manners at all?"
"Fuck that bullshit! You saw we're newcomers and came up here wanting to bully us. What, you think you're hot shit?"
Qi Tian sneered.
The other guy was acting so smug that he could not stand it anymore!
He and Fang Bai were both newcomers. Who knew how these older students might bully them?
Han Ju looked at him and frowned. "And who are you?"
Qi Tian puffed out his chest and said grandly, "Listen up, little thief! My name is Qi Tian! Qi Tian of Qi Tian the Great Sage! You can call me by my nickname—Dad!"
"..."
Everyone was somewhat incredulous.
The newcomers these days seemed pretty damn gutsy!
Han Ju's face turned icy. "You're fucking courting death!"
Fang Bai ignored him and looked at the man seated on the stool. "How should I address you, Teacher?"
The man raised a brow. "My name is Mo Ming."
Fang Bai nodded. "Teacher Mo, what's the survival model in our class?"
Mo Ming smiled. "Whoever is stronger is right."
Fang Bai looked thoughtful. "So that means fighting within the class is allowed?"
Mo Ming nodded. "It is, but stop before it goes too far."
Fang Bai looked at the others. "They won't gang up on us, right?"
One of the boys said with a grin, "Don't worry, they won't. We still have some shame. We won't all bully a single newcomer together."
Another voice sounded. "Unless there's something in it for us."
"..."
Fang Bai roughly understood.
He looked at Han Ju seriously. "How many points do you have?"
Han Ju instantly understood what he meant. He took out a card and said indifferently, "A thousand points is easy enough."
Fang Bai and Qi Tian's eyes lit up at once. A thousand points! That was enough to last them a long time!
Fang Bai pointed at him. "You! You're the one! We want to fight you one-on-one! If you beat us, we'll listen to you from now on! If you lose, the thousand points are ours!"
Han Ju sneered. "Fine, fine, fine! Your courage is commendable!"
He turned to Mo Ming. The latter nodded and said, "All right, I approve."
Then he added, "However, I'll take 10% of the points as payment for covering your backs. Any objections?"
Han Ju stared at Fang Bai gloomily. "Of course not!"
Fang Bai and Qi Tian nodded as well. "We agree!"
[ Ding! System Mission triggered! ]
[ Mission Objective: Defeat the opponent and intimidate the others! ]
[ Mission Reward: Medium amount of Exotic Energy + one Third Order Demonic Beast Soft Armor + one Skill Lottery! ]
Fang Bai's eyes suddenly burst with light, like a hungry wolf in the dead of night!
Mo Ming gave him a meaningful look.
A moment later, everyone arrived at a spacious classroom. It was huge, as large as two ordinary classrooms combined!
There was also quite a bit of training equipment inside.
One student carried over a stool and placed it behind Mo Ming, who sat down leisurely.
Worth mentioning was that, besides the boys from earlier, several girls had also appeared.
They were members of Gemini Class too.
"Tsk, tsk, can Han Bujv win in a one-against-two?"
"Isn't that easy as pie? If he loses, he'll be disgracing Gemini Class. A Dual Element Awakener who's Tier 2 in both elements losing to two Tier 1s? He might as well commit seppuku."
"Hey! Who can say for sure? Come on, come on! Place your bets first—odds are one to ten!"
"I'll bet ten points!"
"What can ten points even do? I'll bet a hundred points on Han Bujv winning!"
"What about you, A Jie?"
"I'll bet on the two newcomers. Mm, sixty-six points."
"Brother Jie, don't!"
The spectators had already started placing bets.
Beside Mo Ming, a pretty and delicate girl asked, "Teacher Mo, who do you think will win?"
The corner of Mo Ming's mouth lifted. "What do you think?"
The girl paused, then said, "Han Bujv... will lose."
Mo Ming smiled. "Su Su truly knows me best!"
