"She pointed at me because she's the class monitor. What are you that you dare point fingers in my face?"
Yang Ming's expression abruptly turned cold as he looked at Gang Qingtai.
"What did you say? Say that again if you've got the guts!"
Gang Qingtai's face immediately turned livid. In the class, Yang Ming was the first person who had dared to talk back to him like that.
"Get lost. I'll explain things to Teacher Hino Raku myself. I don't need your nonsense!"
Yang Ming said coldly.
"Fine, fine, fine. In this school, you're the first person who's dared to speak to me in that tone. Very good!"
Gang Qingtai laughed in extreme anger, a sinister glint flashing across his face.
He shifted, seemingly about to make a move!
"Gang Qingtai, everyone, there's no need to argue with someone like him. This is school. Whatever the matter is, I'm sure Teacher Hino Raku will judge fairly. Everyone, calm down and see how he explains himself before the teacher."
Sensing that the atmosphere was turning bad, Fujishima Jun hurriedly said.
"Fine."
Seeing Fujishima Jun speak up, Gang Qingtai shot Yang Ming a vicious glare and temporarily suppressed his anger.
He knew full well that at school, unless it was a practical combat class, anyone involved in a fight would be expelled regardless of who was right or wrong.
That was an ironclad rule. Since the ninja academy had been founded, no one had dared violate it. He did not want to be the first!
"This way, please!"
Fujishima Jun gave Yang Ming a deep look and said.
Yang Ming smiled faintly, left the library, and headed toward the classroom.
However, the moment he left the library, he saw Hino Raku standing on the training grounds with a cold expression.
As Yang Ming walked straight toward her, she said directly,
"Yuexia Ming, I need an explanation!"
"An explanation? You're just a Chunin. You're not qualified to teach me. Is that explanation enough?"
Yang Ming said calmly.
Facing Hino Raku, he looked completely unconcerned.
"Outrageous!"
"How arrogant!"
"You dare speak so disrespectfully to Teacher Hino Raku? Yuexia Ming, I really underestimated you!"
"Idiot!"
At Yang Ming's words, Gang Qingtai and the others immediately shouted in anger.
Some even wanted to step forward and attack him directly!
"Oh? You say I'm not qualified to teach you. What exactly are you relying on?"
Hino Raku waved a hand to stop everyone, looking deeply at Yang Ming with a meaningful expression.
Anyone else hearing those words would surely think he had lost his mind and was acting so recklessly. But that was not the case.
As a ninja academy teacher, she had been extremely surprised when she received the notice.
Because there had never been such a precedent.
Moreover, the person who had notified her was Shui Daiyi, an important figure at Kusanagi's side and someone whose word carried absolute weight in the village.
Thus, she felt that Yang Ming's background was anything but ordinary.
Hearing his words, she did not get angry, but calmly said,
"What am I relying on? This!"
Yang Ming waved his fist. His meaning was obvious: you were no match for me, so you had no right to teach me.
"You're quite brave for someone so young, but this isn't something you can settle with words alone!"
Seeing this, Hino Raku could not help feeling displeased. Though she had guessed at Yang Ming's background, that did not mean she would remain unmoved by such provocation.
Ninjas had their own dignity.
Though a Chunin's strength was not considered top-tier, they were not someone a Genin could humiliate. Much less Yang Ming, a mere five-year-old brat who was not even a Genin. What right did he have!
"Yuexia Ming, you've got some nerve. Teacher, since he says that, let me teach him a lesson."
Hearing this, Gang Qingtai and the others grew even more enraged. Gang Qingtai stepped forward and volunteered himself!
"Yuexia Ming, whether you say I'm not qualified to teach you or anything else, it doesn't matter. I won't waste words arguing with you. Since you insist, then prove it with your actions!"
