Sweating Bullets, Mephisto?
"Hmm... the last one is..."
Mephisto was still smiling, but when Luo Chen uttered the name, his expression froze.
"What did you say?"
Mephisto blinked, instinctively unwilling to believe Luo Chen's words.
Luo Chen kindly repeated it to him:
"The class with the worst overall score in this round is Mephisto, and the class with the lowest overall score is Faust Class."
"Mephisto, you can start doing push-ups now."
Mephisto froze instantly, staring blankly at Luo Chen, feeling his blood pressure rise.
The other students were also stunned when Luo Chen announced that the last person was Mephisto.
But after Luo Chen repeated it a second time, everyone understood what had happened.
It turns out that Luo Chen was genuinely asking for their opinions when he asked them to suggest how to punish the last-place team.
It wasn't about chasing after FrostNova at all.
His reluctance to ask Mephisto's opinion was truly to avoid suspicion.
To avoid the impression that Luo Chen wanted to give Mephisto special treatment, he didn't ask him.
Principal Luo Chen is such a good person!
In contrast, Mephisto.
Principal Luo Chen took him into consideration and specifically sought everyone's opinions on the punishment.
Not only did he not appreciate it, but he also falsely accused the principal and class monitor FrostNova of having an affair.
And so what if they're having an affair?
FrostNova, the class monitor, looks quite old. What's wrong with her finding a principal younger than herself?
Only someone as dark-hearted as Mephisto would interpret someone else's good intentions with the worst possible malice.
However, Mephisto's actions ultimately backfired.
Didn't you want to avoid the punishment of eating for free for a week instead of taking a week off?
Then the blessing is a thousand push-ups and a forty-kilometer run.
Come on, do it.
"This is the first time I've seen someone like him. We're trying to get benefits for him, and he's not happy about it," one of the FrostNova laughed.
"According to Mephisto, is Principal Luo Chen pursuing him?" This was the thought of one of the Infected women below.
O(∩_∩)O Haha
"This great wisdom cannot distinguish between punishment and blessing."
"If you don't want punishment, then enjoy the blessings."
The students in Faust Class also laughed.
They showed absolutely no sign of the pain of having to run forty kilometers with Mephisto.
Although they have to run forty kilometers, Mephisto, as a swordsman, has to do an extra thousand push-ups.
The thought of Mephisto enjoying even more good fortune made their previously elevated blood pressure feel much better.
Chapter 194 Now that he's in Luo Chen's hands, he still wants to run away? (48)
"Hahaha..."
Seeing everyone so happy, Luo Chen was happy too.
Going to school, you know.
Everyone should be happy; how can you learn well if you're not happy?
You are here to learn and to gain something.
If everyone has a long face, the principal will learn something from that.
If you can't even study well, how will you work for Chief of Staff Luo in the future?
In such a joyful atmosphere, who wouldn't be happy?
That would naturally mean being the last in terms of good fortune.
"Mephisto, you can start doing push-ups now."
Seeing that Mephisto was too excited to speak, Luo Chen kindly gestured for him to begin his performance.
"No... that's impossible!"
"You must be lying to me, how could I possibly be last?"
Under the immense shock, Mephisto had forgotten how drenched in sweat he had been during the exam.
Even now, he still Illusion that Luo Chen is lying to him.
With Mephisto's heart-wrenching scream, he rushed straight to Luo Chen's side.
Luo Chen didn't stop him at all and handed him the test paper and report card.
"Oh! Am I the only one who didn't get a perfect score?"
Mephisto flipped through the exam papers, but the scene he had envisioned— Luo Chen changing his grades—did not occur.
Because all the students answered the questions on the test.
Only his exam paper had blank questions.
In other words, he was in last place from the very beginning.
His worries after the exam were justified.
"Damn it! Why did I object to their proposed punishment?"
Mephisto, filled with remorse, painfully recalled everything that had just happened.
He then discovered the problem.
The reason I was able to let go of my initial worries.
That's because when Luo Chen mentioned that someone was unqualified, he specifically called out FrostNova's name.
I subconsciously associated FrostNova with last place.
* Ursus profanity*.
FrostNova wasn't last, so why did you call her name first?
"I've been tricked, I've been tricked terribly."
"Luo Chen, you're despicable."
Mephisto roared in disbelief.
Luo Chen had set him up from the very beginning; everything he did was to play him for a fool.
He could have easily punished himself and his classmates.
But they deliberately staged this whole thing, shifting all the blame onto him.
Now, even if the other students suffer severe punishment, they will not resent Luo Chen, but will resent him.
After all, Luo Chen had once given them a chance to customize their punishment.
It was we who chose this blessing for them!
"Huh?" Luo Chen shrugged innocently under Mephisto's accusation.
"How am I despicable? Isn't this the blessing you chose yourself? I already advised you to think it over carefully."
"Don't you realize you left several questions blank?"
You don't think someone else is in last place, do you?
"No way?"
After Luo Chen said that, all the classmates felt that Mephisto was a selfish, self-serving, and hypocritical person.
Everyone was just advocating for benefits for other students.
But he, on the other hand, felt that he wasn't in last place.
They deliberately brought out that kind of torturous blessing.
Now that they've been hit with a backlash, they're getting angry and frustrated again.
Everyone couldn't stand it anymore and immediately started mocking Mephisto:
So you're happy when others reap the rewards of good fortune, but it's wrong for you to do it yourself?
"You wanted the good fortune yourself, and now you're going back on your word?"
"They're all from the Reunion Movement, so why is there such a big difference between him and Faust and FrostNova?"
"That guy is really wicked."
Amidst the cacophony of accusations, Mephisto felt as if a boulder was pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe.
He felt more wronged and aggrieved than ever before, as if the whole world was against him.
Those sharp words, like cold arrows, pierced his body one by one, making him extremely agitated.
It was Luo Chen who had deliberately set up the scheme to play him for fools.
Why am I being treated like this?
Mephisto glared at those who were criticizing him.
He was filled with resentment and indignation. He felt that these people were like a group of blind people, unable to see the truth and only able to blindly follow Luo Chen's lies.
He vowed that one day he would make these people regret what they had done.
Mephisto couldn't do push-ups.
He couldn't accept Luo Chen's endless teasing of him.
He's not going to that lousy school anymore.
He wanted to go find his older sister and complain to her about Luo Chen's birth.
Facing Luo Chen, Mephisto loudly announced:
"I'm not going to this lousy school anymore. Do whatever you want."
"Anyone who wants to do these push-ups can do them."
Luo Chen waved his hand, indicating that he could do whatever he wanted. If he could run away, he would consider it a loss.
He would definitely stay willingly to seek good fortune.
At the same time.
Faust's brow furrowed deeply.
He then remembered what Luo Chen had told him last night.
Even if Mephisto is wrong, he won't admit it.
"Because in his view, everyone else in the world is irrelevant."
"To correct this mistake, Mephisto's values must be revised."
"Making him realize his mistakes is closely related to the people he cares about."
Now that Talulah is gone, the only person who can establish this connection for him is himself.
"Whoever wants to do it, can do it."
"I'll do it!"
As soon as Mephisto finished speaking, Faust stepped forward from the crowd.
