Wang Dong watched with a look of extreme displeasure, yet he had to hand it to him.
If he could scare a Soul Emperor-level teacher so badly with a single blade that the teacher did not even dare to let out a fart, he would be a hundred times more arrogant than Lin Chen.
Pity that he lacked such strength, for he was merely a petty little shrimp at rank twenty-four who still could not beat Zhou Yi.
Just run, then, it was not that much.
As for Zhou Yi, she was wicked to the core.
After slipping out quietly, she hid in a dark spot and carefully counted how many people had failed to finish running.
When doing this sort of thing, she was at her most excited.
People only ever turned truly meticulous when doing evil deeds.
Soon, as time went on, Wang Dong took the lead and finished running first.
Following closely behind him were Xiao Xiao, possessing over twenty ranks of Soul Power, and those above rank eighteen.
At the very end were those at rank fifteen.
As for Huo Yuhao, though he gritted his teeth and ran for his life, desperately pushing forward, he still failed to complete the one hundred laps.
That was because he had already wasted time earlier.
Coupled with the fact that his strength was the lowest and he had hardly any Soul Power left to sustain him, even gritting his teeth in desperate struggle left him twelve laps short.
This time around, there was no Wang Dong to help him; after all, Wang Dong and he were not even close, so on what grounds should Wang Dong help a stranger of a classmate?
After Huo Yuhao forced himself through two more laps, he still looked to be about ten laps short.
Zhou Yi arrived fashionably late, effectively handing down a death sentence to Huo Yuhao.
A look of disgust flashed across her eyes.
Failing to even run a hundred laps-truly the scum of the scum, she might as well just expel him.
Yet her stated reason for expelling students was slacking off and cheating, and Huo Yuhao clearly did not fall into that category, as he was merely weak in strength.
Conversely, she could not expel Huo Yuhao; that was the petty little scheme she was playing.
She could use Huo Yuhao as an example to refute anyone attempting to pick a bone with her.
I haven't even expelled a piece of trash, I am only expelling them.
As for the reason why, well, go figure it out yourselves; it is not that I have a problem, it is that they have a problem.
This reasoning was flawless.
Thus, Huo Yuhao paradoxically became her get-out-of-jail-free card; despite her disdain, she had to make heavy use of him.
This was also her customary trick.
Now was the time to start enjoying the joy of expelling people.
The number of people was truly not small.
Since these young masters and misses had yet to experience the sinister side of society, she would simply give them a lesson.
It was just running a few laps, was it really grounds for expulsion?
No, it was very much so.
Upon stepping forward, Zhou Yi first offered high praise for Wang Dong's formidable strength.
Even starting late, he was still the first to complete the objective.
Next came Xiao Xiao, who was in the low twenties, along with several others whose Soul Power was slightly inferior but whose Martial Souls were decent, all of whom received special commendations.
Then came Huo Yuhao.
"Huo Yuhao!"
Zhou Yi's words were like demonic sounds straight from hell, filling Huo Yuhao with fear.
His face turned ashen; could it be that he was going to be expelled the moment he arrived?
"I placed high hopes on you, yet this is how you repay me?"
"Your strength is far too poor. You couldn't even finish a hundred laps, managing only ninety."
"However, I have seen your hard work with my own eyes. You ran as if your life depended on it, and I acknowledge you."
"Now, go make up those ten laps. Once you finish them, you will be considered to have passed."
As Zhou Yi spoke, her tone softened.
This instantly caused Wang Dong and the others to look at Zhou Yi in a completely new light.
This teacher seemed somewhat out of the ordinary, quite different from the rumors; she actually seemed like a decent person after all.
Even though Huo Yuhao had failed to complete the objective, she had not punished him, merely making him make up the distance.
Could it be that Teacher Zhou Yi was not really as terrible as people said?
At this very moment, Zhou Yi's performance had already shaken the hearts of Wang Dong and the others.
Lin Chen, however, merely sneered at the sight.
Just wait and see.
In any case, he refused to believe that a dog could ever stop eating shit. Exactly how she would eat it was beyond him, but change she certainly would not.
He firmly believed that Zhou Yi could never alter her nature.
As for what tricks she had up her sleeve, since Zhou Yi had secretly counted so many people in the dark, she was definitely plotting a massive move.
Sure enough, after dismissing Huo Yuhao, Zhou Yi cast a vicious glare at the crowd of Class One.
A frigid voice rang out.
"Those of you who failed to run a full hundred laps just now, step forward of your own accord."
The moment Zhou Yi uttered those words, an uproar swept through the entire audience.
Many of those who had failed to finish felt a pang of guilt.
Yet they figured Zhou Yi had not been present just now, and even if she had been, she surely could not keep track of everyone.
After all, who could possibly remember who was who?
Consequently, they all mustered their courage and remained in the ranks.
Until Zhou Yi began calling them out one by one.
"Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Wang Chao, Horse Face, Zhang San, Li Si... all of you, step out of the ranks!"
Zhou Yi reeled off the names of seven or eight people in one breath.
These individuals were all slackers who had failed to finish their runs just now, falling short by a mere lap or two.
Once called out, they even attempted to deny it.
"Teacher, I finished running. You must have seen wrong."
"Finished running, you say?"
Zhou Yi pointed straight at one of them, her voice sounding like a roar.
"When you first started running, you were already a huge lap slower than everyone else."
"Later on, when Wang Dong and the others caught up, you only tagged along behind them, and then you shorted yourself out of another lap."
"You shorted yourself by four laps in total, running only ninety-six."
"My eyes are a ruler!"
"And you, you, you, you, you, you-"
Zhou Yi rattled off the exact number of laps each of them had run, down to the very last fraction.
Being exposed publicly made it impossible for them to save face, and their faces flushed bright red with shame.
They had already steeled themselves for punishment from Zhou Yi.
Since they had been caught red-handed, they would accept their loss like sports.
Running a few extra laps was no big deal; even if one penalty counted as ten, they could still manage a few dozen extra laps.
Wasn't it just a punishment, after all?
Yet Zhou Yi's next words utterly shattered all their perceptions.
"All of you are expelled!"
"Pack your things right now and get the hell out of Class One, get out of Shrek!"
"Shrek has no need for students like you who scheme and slack off!"
"Under my, Zhou Yi's, command, it is even more impossible to tolerate thieves and unprincipled wretches like you. Get lost!"
As soon as Zhou Yi spoke those words, everyone's expression turned as wretched as if they had swallowed shit.
They flushed crimson, staring at Zhou Yi in sheer disbelief.
"We just ran a few laps short, and you actually want to expel us?"
"On what grounds are you expelling us?"
"On the grounds that I am your head teacher, and on the grounds that I am Zhou Yi."
Zhou Yi sneered coldly.
"On the grounds that you schemed and slacked off, and your character is no good, so I have the right to expel you."
"Why didn't I expel Huo Yuhao, yet I am expelling you lot?"
"He fell ten laps short, and I didn't expel him."
"Yet you people, clearly possessing the ability to finish yet choosing not to, scheming and slacking off, will only grow up to be worthless loafers."
"Shrek can never accommodate scum like you, scram!"
Zhou Yi had already begun issuing orders of eviction.
Their faces flushed with blood, experiencing this kind of situation for the very first time, they stood there at a complete loss for what to do.
They admitted that they had run a few laps short, but they had simply regarded it as a minor test.
Even if discovered, the worst punishment should have been running a few extra laps; how could it possibly be serious enough to warrant expulsion?
"We refuse to accept this! We will definitely report this to the academy, you are expelling people arbitrarily!"
"Go ahead, report it then. My conscience is clear."
Zhou Yi folded her arms across her chest, a look of utter disdain on her face.
"Wait a moment."
Lin Chen suddenly spoke up.
"Teacher Zhou Yi, your conscience is clear, is that right?"
Before you continue
