Zhou Yi's Terror

"Teacher Zhou, what are you doing at the door? Are you planning to lay hands on these two children?" The white-robed elder spoke with a smile, but there was not the slightest trace of warmth in his tone. Instead, it was incomparably cold.

Although he had initially been puzzled by his teacher's decision, once he saw Zhou Yi personally making a move, all his doubts were instantly resolved.

There was no need to consider anything further. If students at Shrek Academy could not even have their basic safety and human rights guaranteed, if they could be bullied at will by their teachers, then what right did they have to defend the safety and human rights of the entire continent?

Any evil teacher would be brought to justice by him, the dean.jpg

"Dean, you..." Zhou Yi felt her breath catch, her mind going blank. She had never imagined that after those two brats left, they would actually invite this great figure here!

And he had happened to witness her actions firsthand!

The thought of what awaited her next made Zhou Yi's face turn deathly pale. Her mouth opened and closed, but she had no idea what to say.

Should she say this was all just a misunderstanding?

Should she say she had merely been trying to scare the two children?

Zhou Yi knew that none of her actions could be concealed from this old man. He was one of Shrek Academy's top Title Douluo. Even from a hundred meters away, he could probably see every one of her movements with perfect clarity!

"Enough. There's no need to say any more. I'll see these two children off first. I have matters to attend to."

Yan Shaozhe impatiently cut off Zhou Yi, shot a cold glance at the woman who had caused Fan Yu trouble, then flicked his sleeve and left.

He certainly could have executed Zhou Yi on the spot with a single palm strike, but the meeting his teacher had called was more important, and every decision still needed to be discussed. There was no need to rush the matter of how to deal with this person who had angered even his teacher.

She could not escape.

Watching Yan Shaozhe leave with such icy indifference, Zhou Yi stood frozen.

How had things turned out like this?

Boundless terror swallowed her in an instant. Her entire body began to tremble, dizziness constantly clouding her mind as horrifying illusions sprang up one after another. Even as a Soul Emperor, she was frightened to the point of shivering!

"No, no, that's not right. There's still Fan Yu. Yes, Fan Yu! He's the future dean of the Soul Tool Department—Fan Yu!"

Trembling, Zhou Yi ran toward the door. Ignoring the contemptuous looks from Lin You and Wang Dong, she stumbled in the direction of the Soul Tool Department and soon vanished from everyone's sight.

"Forget it. Let's go in first. The real show is still to come."

Lin You stretched lazily, feeling as though the dark clouds above his head had completely dispersed, revealing an incomparably bright blue sky. His mood improved by several degrees.

That old hag had forced him and Wang Dong to hold hands. It really had been disgusting.

Though he knew that Wang Dong was actually Wang Dong'er, a girl, and both pretty and willful—holding her hand would be fun for a year, wouldn't it?

But to outsiders, it had looked like two men being lovey-dovey with each other. It was simply revolting.

If he accidentally gave her hand a squeeze and let slip even the slightest intoxicated or infatuated look, that would be bad. People might spread rumors that he was gay, and he would die socially for the rest of his life.

Wang Dong walked inside with a relaxed expression. Seeing Zhou Yi look like a mouse that had encountered a cat made him feel as refreshed as if he had eaten ten popsicles in the scorching heat of midsummer!

Sure enough, this feeling of using someone else's power to throw his weight around was just too satisfying.

Eh, strange. Why had he referred to himself as a dog?

Their actions entered the eyes of all the new students in Class One.

They stared blankly at the two of them. Somehow, after they had apparently called over someone important, that old hag Zhou Yi had fled in panic. For a moment, everyone was utterly confused.

What was going on?

What had happened?

Could someone explain this to me?

Of course, Lin You and Wang Dong would not deliberately expose this unspoken understanding just to show off. And so, time quietly passed amid the silence.

Just then, a knock sounded from outside the door. A little cutie poked her head in and peered into the Class One classroom.

"You-ge!"

Huo Yuhao happily waved toward Lin You, but when she saw the green-haired little loli sitting beside him, as well as the handsome pink-and-blue-haired boy on his other side, she froze. The smile at the corners of her lips stiffened slightly.

Why was this happening?

For the first time, she had found a roommate she got along with. For the first time, she and Lin You had looked forward to their future after entering the academy. The two joys should have combined into twice the happiness. She should have already obtained that dreamlike happy time, yet... how had it turned out like this?

The dazed Huo Yuhao was abruptly jolted awake when she felt someone rubbing her head. Looking up at Lin You's concerned face, she puffed out her cheeks, raised a fist as if to hit him, and said indignantly, "Aha! So that's why you didn't come find me—you were captivated by Xiao Xiao! Take this!"

"Heh! I dodge~"

"Don't run! Take my Lao Da Elbow Strike!"

One ran while the other chased, and before long, the two disappeared from the teaching building.

"Ha ha."

Xiao Xiao covered her mouth and giggled. Standing by the window, she watched Lin You dart and weave, unable to stop herself from secretly envying them. Their sibling relationship is so good. If only I had a brother or sister too.

Meanwhile, Wang Dong wore a strange expression when he saw that Lin You, who had so ruthlessly plotted against that old hag Zhou, could actually smile so openly.

He had thought this guy had always been gloomy and brooding, but unexpectedly, he was quite cheerful.

"That is...?"

Wang Dong could not help asking Xiao Xiao, who seemed closer to Lin You.

"That's his younger sister, Huo Yuhao. She's also my roommate, and she's really strong. I heard she seems to be in Class Nine?"

Xiao Xiao slowly packed up her desk as she spoke.

"Oh."

Wang Dong nodded, though no one knew what he was thinking.

Then, after Xiao Xiao finished packing, she said, "They probably went to eat together. Wang Dong, I'm leaving. Bye-bye."

Before long, everyone had left the Class One classroom. Who knew what expressions they would wear when they saw that the cafeteria had no tables or chairs, leaving them to stand while holding their meals and eating?

Lakeside Path.

Lin You and Huo Yuhao went around the New Student Teaching Building, heading east along the southern side of Shrek Plaza. Before long, they arrived beside Sea God Lake.

The two walked slowly side by side along the path, admiring the sparkling beauty of Sea God Lake. A gentle mist of water mixed with fresh air rushed toward them. Although Sea God Lake was merely an artificial lake, its waters were exceptionally clear, the azure surface pure and deep.

A light breeze blew across the lake, sending ripples over the blue water beneath the blue sky and white clouds. It truly was a rare sight.

"Is this the place? Strange, why is there no one here?"

Huo Yuhao looked around, feeling somewhat puzzled. Had she not yet reached the designated spot?

But that should not be the case. Sea God Lake was so vast, and the Lakeside Path was so long. Once the two of them finished walking around it, there probably would not even be enough time left for lunch and a midday break.

"Eh?"

Just as Huo Yuhao was thinking this, she suddenly seemed to see a red dot appear behind the mist over the lake.
