He suddenly stood up.

"I haven't said anything yet," Mephisto said, pointing at Luo Chen with displeasure.

Luo Chen's smile vanished instantly, and he glanced at Mephisto indifferently:

"What else do you want to say? Are they wrong?"

"So, what do you think should be done with that guy who failed the test?"

"What should we do? Have you really forgotten what you said this morning?"

"Hmph." With that, Mephisto looked at the other students.

He scoffed dismissively and continued:

"I don't even want to expose your acting skills. Is what you're talking about punishment?"

"If that's all punishment, then wouldn't the dozens of kilometers we ran this morning be considered a blessing?"

"If one person has a bad memory, does that mean everyone has a bad memory?"

"Since none of you are working, I'll tell you what he said this morning."

"He said this morning that the student with the worst grades needs to do a thousand push-ups, and the class with the worst overall grades needs to do an extra forty kilometers of training."

"That's exactly what he said this morning."

After hearing Mephisto's words, all the students felt their blood pressure was about to explode.

Principal Luo Chen has already agreed to the punishment they devised, so why are you still causing trouble?

Even if what you're saying is true, so what?

Can't we just accept the fake as real?

You deserve to die, you're a beast!

"..."

FrostNova pursed her lips, filled with regret for not burying Mephisto alive yesterday.

"..."

Faust's eyes widened as well.

His lips parted slightly, but no sound came out for a long time.

Ino was originally a kind and honest person, how did she become like this?

Is there any hope for Mephisto?

Chief of Staff Luo, what should we do?

FrostNova and Faust were both Reunion Movement cadres who knew Mephisto, but they remained silent at the moment, each with their own thoughts.

However, most of their classmates below them were villagers from the surrounding area or Infected, and they were all known for their straightforward personalities.

As soon as Mephisto finished speaking, they pointed at Mephisto and began cursing.

"You piece of crap from Biyang, Ursus swear word*"

"Are you out of your mind? Doing something that harms others and doesn't benefit yourself, you'll just end up dying a violent death in the streets sooner or later."

"* Ursus profanity*"

Mephisto listened to the curses around him, then glanced at Luo Chen, whose face was grim and who remained silent.

I instantly felt myself reach orgasm.

Now he wondered how Luo Chen would possibly win over FrostNova.

"Go ahead and curse, curse all you want, unleash your impotent rage!"

"I love seeing you guys who can't stand me, but can't do anything about it."

Mephisto laughed at the crowd's curses.

The more they enjoyed their insults, the more Mephisto felt his own presence.

The more powerful you feel, the more you realize your own strength.

As for Luo Chen, he should be furious and embarrassed by the failure of his plan right now.

Mephisto stared intently at Luo Chen's expression.

Luo Chen's brows furrowed more and more, and his expression grew increasingly grim.

He clenched his fists tightly and asked, word by word:

"Mephisto, are you sure I said this morning that the last-place student needs to do a thousand push-ups and the whole class has to run forty kilometers with him?"

Mephisto thoroughly enjoyed Luo Chen's exasperated appearance.

He held his head high and nodded confidently and firmly.

"I'm sure."

Luo Chen sighed regretfully, then flipped open the report card again.

The last name on the report card was Mephisto.

The kind-hearted Principal Luo couldn't bear to see Mephisto suffer such punishment, so he looked up at him again:

"Mephisto, my memory isn't very good. Could you confirm with me again, is this the real punishment you're talking about?"

"I'm sure!"

Chapter 193 If you won't accept punishment, then accept good fortune. (47)

After receiving a positive answer from Mephisto, the other students went crazy with anxiety.

They all advised Luo Chen not to listen to his nonsense.

"Principal, don't listen to his nonsense, he's just making it all up."

"Doing a thousand push-ups or running forty kilometers is not a punishment, but a blessing."

"What we did was the real punishment. Think about it: the person involved couldn't study for a week, and the whole school was also prevented from studying for a day. Isn't that punishment?"

"Mephisto is actually lying through his teeth; it's truly Biyang's Late Intent."

In order to obtain the benefits that Luo Chen had just agreed to, everyone spoke out, whether their statements were logical or nonsense.

Luo Chen, after hearing their nonsense, also shook his head.

"It seems Mephisto might really be wrong."

Seeing Luo Chen's feigned sincerity, Mephisto became even more determined in his decision.

Luo Chen decided to do this in order to please FrostNova.

Thinking of this, Mephisto spoke up directly.

He pointed out what he believed to be the true thought:

"Principal Luo Chen, don't think that everyone is unaware of why you did this."

"You deliberately guided everyone to increase the benefits for the last-place person, wasn't it just to curry favor with someone?"

"Your acting is so terrible, are you trying to fool everyone?"

"You've been delaying asking me what the punishment is because you're afraid I'll cause trouble for you, aren't you? Because I know what your purpose is."

People love gossip, as Mephisto put it.

The students, who had just been angrily condemning Mephisto, suddenly fell silent.

They all turned to look at FrostNova, speculating about the relationship between the class monitor and the principal.

Under everyone's gaze, FrostNova blushed and turned her back.

Her reaction further confirmed Mephisto's statement.

Luo Chen did this on purpose to please someone.

After this logic emerged, everyone felt a little uneasy.

They initially thought Principal Luo was concerned about the students and wanted to find a reason to give them extra food.

Unexpectedly, Principal Luo was only after a woman.

So Principal Luo was pretending to be deaf all because of FrostNova?

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Mephisto' eyes gleamed with smugness.

He slightly raised the corners of his mouth, feeling particularly smug.

In Mephisto' view, Luo Chen's words and actions yesterday were undoubtedly a great insult to him.

He couldn't stand the feeling of being looked down upon.

Therefore, he decided to retaliate tenfold and make Luo Chen taste the price for offending him.

"Well."

Luo Chen's eyebrows drooped slightly, as if he was reminiscing about Chen Huijie's appearance and voice.

Back when I was in the Lungmen Guard Department, I didn't have any power.

There was no way to save Chen Huijie from the quagmire of collusion between the authorities and the criminals.

But today, such tragedies will never happen again.

He wanted to ensure that Mephisto could walk the bright path of learning with dignity in the future.

This allows him to enjoy the blessings of sports and learning.

[...]

The system heard Luo Chen's inner thoughts, but dared not speak out against it.

It felt that the only thing that could make Mephisto suffer less was to say less.

Mephisto smiled, as if joking with Luo Chen, and said:

"Why is Principal Luo silent? Is he feeling guilty?"

Mephisto was already plotting his next wicked idea.

As long as Luo Chen denies it.

He said the other party was feeling guilty.

Luo Chen fell silent for a moment, as if facing an extremely complex problem.

After a moment, Luo Chen spoke:

"Okay, I understand."

"It seems that what Mephisto said was exactly what I mentioned this morning."

"I was thinking that the punishment I set might Tai He, and I wanted to ask you to give me a reasonable suggestion."

"Since everyone has decided to stick to the original plan, then I have nothing more to say."

Luo Chen remained standing in the same spot, but his expression grew increasingly pained.

"There's nothing more to say, so let's make the last-place student do push-ups and have their class run."

Mephisto found Luo Chen's expression really interesting; it was pain, even more pain.

He likes to watch!

"You're right, then I'll announce it." Luo Chen lowered his eyes and whispered, nodding.

"Hurry up," Mephisto urged impatiently.

Having said all that, Luo Chen seemed to have grown tired of Mephisto and lost interest in him.

Luo Chen picked up the report card in his hand and cleared his throat:

"The class with the worst overall score in this round is Mephisto, and the class with the lowest overall score is Faust Class."
