"Teacher Zhou, haven't you heard? When there's work, the assistant does it; when there's no work, do the assistant?"
Huo Yuhao joked with a grin.
Zhou Yi was no young girl. How could she not understand what he meant?
Her old face flushed with embarrassment. If not for the human-skin mask,
she would surely have looked like a shy beauty.
Unfortunately, with the human-skin mask on, no comment...
Zhou Yi came back to her senses and grew furious as well.
"You little brat, you haven't even grown all your hair yet, and you dare flirt with me."
"Just wait. I'll make sure you learn how formidable I am."
Zhou Yi forced a smile and said:
"Fine, I'll give you a massage!"
"How thoughtful... Ah! That's too hard! Lighter, lighter!"
"That won't do. I have to massage you properly!"
"Yamete!!"
The students cultivating in the Mimicry Forest
heard those soul-stirring sounds and cursed with flushed faces.
"This is the Mimicry Forest, a place for cultivation. Can you take that sort of thing somewhere else?"
"It's even a guy making those noises. They're playing way too wild!"
"Every generation brings forth new talents, each leading the way for centuries."
"Fine poetry, fine poetry!"
The Class One students ran to the lakeside and immediately saw Huo Yuhao leisurely fishing.
Behind him, Teacher Zhou, the female demon herself, was giving him a massage.
Such unequal treatment left the Class One students feeling deeply unbalanced.
"This isn't fair! Why are we running while that guy gets to fish?"
"That female demon is actually massaging him. Do you think that guy might be the son of some Shrek Academy higher-up?"
"My heavens, I never thought our class had such a big shot! I'm going to acknowledge him as my big brother later."
"Is the female demon's massage technique really that good? That guy has been howling in comfort the whole time."
Huo Yuhao: Comfort my ass, I'm howling from pain!
Seeing Huo Yuhao receive such treatment, Wang Dong was filled with jealousy.
"Why? I'm clearly a genius too. Why do I have to receive the same treatment as these people?"
"I refuse to accept this!"
Though unwilling, Wang Dong held it in.
Once she displayed her talent someday, she would let that female demon Zhou Lian know who the real genius was.
She would make her regret it!
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao broke free from Zhou Lian's deadly massage.
He rubbed his aching shoulders.
"Assistant Zhou, you did that on purpose, didn't you?"
Seeing Huo Yuhao's aggrieved little expression, Zhou Yi beamed with delight.
"Wasn't I just afraid I'd be too weak and fail to massage you properly?"
"Come, I'll give you another massage."
As she spoke, Zhou Yi made a massaging gesture and moved forward.
Huo Yuhao hurriedly dodged aside. "Better not. Massages aren't something an assistant should be doing."
As he spoke, he used Reverse Cursed Technique to erase the soreness.
"That old woman has some serious strength in her hands."
Shrek Academy
Mimicry Forest
All the Class One students collapsed to the ground, panting heavily with lifeless expressions.
"Alright, everyone assemble!"
Zhou Yi gave them no time to rest and directly called for assembly.
The students did not dare slack off and hurriedly gathered.
Zhou Yi swept her gaze over them and said coldly:
"Now, those whose names I call, step forward."
"Cheng Cheng, Qiu Jianrao, Tang Dao, Shangguan Chentian, Lin Zeyu."
"Zhuge Yun, Tailong, Tang Ling, Yun Xiaopiao."
The nine students whose names had been called stepped forward, exchanging nervous, puzzled whispers.
"The female demon actually knows our names!"
"Exactly. We never even introduced ourselves."
"What's going on? We were all among the first to finish running!"
"Though we weren't first..."
Zhou Yi's gaze turned sharp.
"You nine can pack your things and get out!"
"From today onward, you are no longer students of Shrek Academy!!"
"What!!"
The nine were instantly shocked.
One red-haired student angrily demanded:
"Why?! Teacher, what is this about?!"
Zhou Yi crossed her arms, and her aura suddenly changed as she said coldly:
"You dare ask me why?"
"Shrek Academy has no need for people who resort to trickery!"
"You only ran eight-tenths of the route. Before I came here, you slacked off and skipped two-tenths of it!"
Feeling Zhou Yi's terrifying aura, cold sweat streamed down the red-haired student's face.
"Ugh... But, but you can't expel me just because of this!"
Zhou Yi said coldly, "Having strength but lacking an upright and honorable heart, even if you are trained into a talent, you will only bring disaster to the continent!"
"I said it already. You are not qualified to be a student of Shrek Academy! The rest of them are the same!"
"Get out, all of you!"
The red-haired student pointed at Huo Yuhao, who was lying nearby basking in the sun, and protested:
"Teacher Zhou, I refuse to accept this! He clearly didn't run at all, so why aren't you expelling him?"
"Is it because he's the descendant of a Shrek Academy higher-up?"
"This is far too unfair to us!"
As soon as he said that, it immediately stirred dissatisfaction among the other eight students.
"This makes no sense at all."
"Exactly! Teacher Zhou, you're being far too unfair."
"You're obviously treating people differently. I'm going to report you to the Academic Affairs Office!"
Zhou Yi crossed her arms and sneered.
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. As long as you can defeat him, I won't expel you."
"Hey, hey, hey, Teacher Zhou, don't drag me into this!"
Huo Yuhao got shot while lying down in the sun.
Wang Dong covered her mouth and chuckled.
The red-haired student shouted:
"Fine! I refuse to believe it! We're all top-tier geniuses, so how could we lose to just one person?"
"If you don't want to be expelled, beat him up hard!"
"I've disliked him for a long time! Why does he get so much attention from girls?"
"Because he's handsome... extremely handsome."
"That hit me right in the heart, bro!"
Smack! Smack! Smack!
Left with no choice, Huo Yuhao gave each of them one hit.
Not one more.
Because they were already lying on the ground.
"This has to be fake."
"That's impossible! I didn't even use my Martial Soul. If you have the guts, wait until I activate it!"
"You came to deceive and ambush me, an old comrade of ten years old. Young man, I advise you to be more sensible!"
Though their bodies were lying on the ground, their mouths were still fighting.
The other students were equally shocked.
"Male idol, he's way too handsome! One person against nine, and he won so easily."
"No wonder Teacher Zhou gave him special treatment. So he's actually a great genius!"
"Brothers, I'm jealous, envious, and resentful. Being handsome would be one thing, but his talent is so high too. How are us guys supposed to live?"
"Brother, say no more. Have a... lollipop."
Wang Dong looked at Huo Yuhao, wondering inwardly:
"Just how strong is this guy?"
Zhou Yi knew Huo Yuhao's strength, so she was not surprised.
"Now you can get out. If you make me angry again, I'll cripple your Martial Souls!!"
"Wah!"
"This teacher is insane!"
"Just you wait!"
"We're going to report you to the Academic Affairs Office!"
The nine left behind their threats and fled in a miserable scramble.
Zhou Yi said coldly, "My temper may be bad, but I always keep my word."
"Does anyone else have any problems?"
The place fell silent. No one dared provoke Zhou Lian any further.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Zhou Yi directly ordered:
"Go back to your dorms, change your clothes, then return to the classroom for lessons! You have fifteen minutes!"
"Ugh, hurry, hurry."
"There are only fifteen minutes."
With an example made of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, the students obeyed Zhou Yi's every word.
They did not dare voice a single complaint.
