Chapter 24: Slap in the face
Thor was completely stunned by the slap, and his face tilted to the side.
But he quickly reacted and looked at Lu Yi in disbelief.
"You hit me? What right do you have to hit me?" Thor said half angrily and half aggrievedly.
Not only did he get so close just to hit him, but he also distanced himself from him after the hit!
Is it uncomfortable to be next to him?!
Lu Yi didn't understand the grievance hidden under his anger. After beating him, he immediately took a few steps back without saying a word.
He did not respond to Thor's accusation, but asked calmly, "Why?"
"I should be the one asking you this." Lu Yi narrowed his azure eyes and stared at Thor. "Why did you break into my dormitory and run wild in my territory like a mad dog?"
His voice was not loud, but beneath that light tone was a threat that no one dared to ignore.
Thor was stunned, and only then did he realize the inexplicable familiarity of Lu Yi.
His blond hair and blue eyes were no accident.
The man who had just slapped him and was standing in front of him was Xia’s arrogant and rude brother - Lu Yi Klein!
Thor's mind was in a mess. Before he could figure out what attitude to use towards Lu Yi, he was stunned by Lu Yi's next words.
"How dare you." Lu Yi said softly.
His cold blue pupils flashed with contempt and disdain. Although he was extremely handsome and had a pair of affectionate eyes, he was too arrogant and no one was allowed to enter his eyes.
Even though Thor did such an offensive and outrageous thing, he only got a brief glance from him as if he was being given alms.
There is a huge difference between the two, and we should not touch them.
He sat on the high platform, naturally looking down at them from above.
Thor suddenly remembered the day of the baptism, when he left early after Xia's baptism.
As a result, he missed the miracle that was being praised by the whole continent.
He didn't take it seriously at the time, but now he feels an inexplicable regret.
This divergent thought only lasted for a moment.
Thor stood stiffly in place. The orc's keen senses allowed him to clearly feel the gazes of the people around him falling on him.
And Lu Yi's most eye-catching gaze.
He is looking at himself.
However, Thor's eyes were soon flashed with golden light, and then he felt the pain of being hit by a hard object on his cheek and forehead.
The crisp sound of a few gold coins falling to the ground was particularly obvious in the silence.
Thor's eyes fell on the ground, where the gold coins that had been thrown at him were lying quietly.
People around began to whisper.
Lu Yi still looked at him with that contemptuous look.
"Are you short of money? Why would you do such a despicable thing?"
"I give it to you as a reward."
He said "reward", which is a word used by a superior to address an inferior.
Using it on Thor, who was also a freshman at Bryside, was undoubtedly an insult.
And in public, it was a merciless humiliation.
He didn't even need to wait until tomorrow. In five minutes, the news that he had offended Lu Yi Klein would spread throughout Braceside.
This should have been an infuriating, utter humiliation, but Thor was surprisingly not as angry as he had imagined.
The hair on his body stood up due to the intense emotional fluctuations, and his skin trembled slightly.
But this was not anger due to being humiliated.
It is another kind of emotion that is hard to describe, undercurrent, and even almost exciting.
His eyes fell on the gold coins, and the first thought that flashed through his mind was not anger, but that even these golden coins were far less dazzling than Lu Yi's dazzling golden hair. But Thor soon remembered that Xia also had such brilliant golden hair.
Just a moment ago, he seemed to have forgotten his and Lu Yi's identities, and forgotten his former feelings for Xia.
Shame and self-blame filled his heart, splitting his soul in half.
Half of her despised her own fickleness, filled with love for Xia and hatred for Lu Yi. The other half threw all worldly things behind her and sank into the dazzling gold and blue.
He didn't dare look into Lu Yi's eyes, for fear of seeing himself being despicable and out of control.
What Thor could not accept the most was that he actually felt a subtle sense of pleasure under such humiliation.
This realization completely paralyzed Thor's thinking, leaving only the instinctive physiological reactions of an animal.
His back began to tremble, his wolf tail swayed uncontrollably, and his muscles began to contract sharply.
The shirt that originally fit him perfectly was bursting due to his bulging muscles, exposing his wheat-colored muscles to the air.
"Oh no! He can't help but transform back into a beast!" someone who knew the habits of the beastmen shouted.
"Go call the teacher on duty!"
Lu Yi's eyes flashed, and he stretched out his hand to externalize magic power.
"If you continue, I will take this as you challenging me to a fight."
His voice was carried by magic, ensuring that most people present could hear it.
Braeside school rules prohibit students from fighting on campus, but non-life-threatening fights are allowed.
At first, Lu Yi just wanted to teach Thor a lesson. After all, it was not a good look to have a fight in public at the beginning of the school year.
Even if he is the one who is right, he will still attract criticism.
Public opinion puts pressure on people.
Although Lu Yi didn't care, he didn't want to cause any more trouble.
He had a good plan of throwing gold coins and making threats, but it was a pity that Thor didn't follow his plan.
One second he was still expressing his admiration for his clever excuse for throwing out the gold coins with 857, and the next second Thor, who was hit in the face with the coins by him, started to riot.
Fortunately, Lu Yi had already prepared for Thor's counterattack, so he was not overly surprised to see Thor suddenly transform into a beast.
If he didn't have the confidence that he could get away with it, he wouldn't have been so foolish as to run to Thor and act like a hero.
It wasn't in vain that he spent two months learning from Astor and Zorn during the vacation.
Lu Yi has now reached the pinnacle of a magician's apprentice.
There are several more pages of basic magic skills in the skill column.
Even though he might not be able to defeat Thor for the time being, he would have no problem escaping unscathed.
Considering that Thor is a furry animal, Lu Yi even considerately used fire magic.
The fire magic power condensed into a ball in his palm, and after Lu Yi threw it out, it suddenly turned into an arrow.
Several fireballs ignited around Lu Yi, and arrows shot towards Thor like heavy rain.
The people around seemed stunned by the scene before them, and no one stepped forward to stop this one-sided beating.
Piero anxiously wanted to stop Lu Yi from violating school rules, but Dui behind him held him back and shook his head slightly at him.
The certainty and trust in her eyes made Piero stop.
Thor was completely isolated and helpless.
His eyes widened, and the forest of burning arrows was reflected in his beastly vertical pupils.
When Thor lost control and turned back into beast form, he wanted to escape from this predicament.
But just because he hesitated for a moment about whether to pick up the gold coins on the ground that were stained with Lu Yi's body temperature, he had missed the best opportunity to escape.
His vertical pupils seemed to be burned by the rocket arrows rushing towards him, and he subconsciously stretched out his arms to block himself, as if this could protect himself from the flames.
Thor knew that he should run away now, but looking at Lu Yi's eyes that also reflected the flames, his feet were somehow fixed in place.
The breathtaking blue was dyed with red light, which was dangerous but also bewitching.
Is he going to die here today?
In such a humiliating way?
He had already felt the temperature of the flames sweeping over him——
Thor closed his eyes.
He felt his fur burning.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
But the expected death threat did not come, and even the burning heat in the body began to fade away.
Thor opened his eyes, only to find that the flames on his body had been extinguished at some point, leaving only layers of burnt hair that had turned black from the flames.
He subconsciously reached out and touched the red rope on his wrist, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that the red rope was not burned.
He didn't tell Xia that he secretly made two red ropes, one for him and the other for himself.
It's a little secret joy.
Thor looked up and saw Lu Yi looking at him expressionlessly.
The burns on my body seemed to hurt again.
Xia was right, his brother was really a tough guy.
Most of the messy thoughts in Thor's mind disappeared, leaving only some fear that he was unwilling to admit.
Although he is not as strong as his other brothers, he is also a brave descendant of the orc royal family.
But now he was pinned to the ground and beaten by a human who had just become a magician.
There was even a sense of fear in my heart.
This fear brought his violent bestial transformation to an abrupt halt, and he remained in a miserable state of half-human, half-beast. Most of his originally shiny fur was burnt, and he looked both pitiful and funny.
It's so embarrassing.
If his father were still alive, he would definitely grab his ears and scold him for being incompetent and bringing shame to the wolf clan.
Unfortunately, his father, the old Beast King, is no longer with us, and his brothers, who were once close friends, have begun fighting among themselves for the so-called power.
Thor once thought that he was the happiest person in the world, and his biggest worry every day was just a trivial matter like being scolded by his father again.
But everything changed after his father's death.
What he thought was a peaceful and harmonious life was nothing but an illusion.
There was no need to even push it, a slight breeze shattered it completely.
What a little orc prince, he's just a poor creature.
He always causes trouble when he's around Chris and isn't really any help at all.
He couldn't protect Xia and had no way to vent his anger for him.
It was clear that no one could protect him.
With a hundred complicated emotions intertwined, Thor's eyes actually turned slightly red.
Ever since the death of the Beast King, he has been suppressing his sadness, using heartlessness to cover up his fragility and helplessness.
After all, he was just a wolf cub who had just grown up.
Before he learned how to get along with this world correctly, he was forced to bear a heavier burden.
Saul didn't cry when he learned of his father's unexpected death.
Thor didn't cry when he was forced to leave the orc territory.
Thor didn't even cry when he was chased by the soldiers sent by his brother.
But just at this embarrassing moment, his tears burst out.
Thor finally understood very clearly that no one would stand behind him and support him unconditionally anymore.
No one would rub his head hard or tell him to "stand up" sternly anymore.
The strong barriers collapsed in an instant, and all the grievances burst out like a tide at this moment.
Anyway, his fur was burnt and his face was lost, so he didn’t care whether he cried or not.
No one cared about his ugliness because the crowd already regarded him as a joke.
Torrential tears smeared Thor's charred cheeks, and he simply gave up and burst into tears.
Lu Yi was caught off guard by his unexpected reaction. He stared in amazement as Thor held his head and cried without any image.
[“857, did I really go too far???”] Lu Yi asked himself with self-doubt.
857 was also a little confused, and hesitated: […How about you just apologize to them? Just smile and forget about it?]
[“Are you crazy? I got beaten up like this and I apologized and smiled. Are you sure he won’t think I’m humiliating him?”]
Lu Yi was a little worried.
Why does Thor never go according to plan?
He didn't even know how it would end.
The scene was very embarrassing for a while.
Thor cried so hard that he lost himself in tears. The people around him did not expect this development and just stood there like Lu Yi, watching him cry.
Fortunately, the two teachers on duty who rushed over in a hurry broke the current deadlock.
"Where is that berserk orc student?!"
The two men pushed through the crowd and squeezed into the middle. After seeing the dusty Thor, they were unable to react for a moment.
"This... this orc student is no longer showing signs of going berserk. He just needs to rest for two days and he will be fine." The orc teacher on duty tried his best to ignore Thor's crying and spoke calmly.
He was originally speaking to Thor, but Thor was so immersed in sorrow that he turned his gaze to Lu Yi.
"Be careful not to let him eat raw meat these days. Raw meat will cause his already unstable human form to further transform into a beast..." the orc teacher warned.
"No, I'm not familiar with him..." Lu Yi was dumbfounded.
He was the one who beat the person, and you still ask him to take care of him?
The human teacher next to the orc teacher frowned and patiently advised: "You little classmate, you should be united and friendly, and take care of the injured orc classmate... I don't know who burned this poor little wolf like this, look at its pitiful state, his fur is burnt!"
Lu Yi silently swallowed the words in his throat.
Sometimes, not saying anything is also a kind act.
"It's weird, what are you little classmates looking at me with? I don't understand..."
Looking at the strange looks from the students around him, the human teacher said in confusion.
"The crowd disperse!" a loud shout suddenly rang out.
A team of armored academy guards quickly broke through the encirclement formed by the students. The leader said righteously, "We received a report of a serious fight! Where is the orc student who was killed? Where are the students who beat him up?!"
Justice will come late but surely!
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Lu Yi and Thor.
"I was beaten..." Thor sobbed, "But I'm not dead yet."
The guards refused to listen to his explanation and insisted on carrying Thor onto the stretcher they brought.
"Hey, my injury is not serious, I just look scary..."
The leading guard stared at Lu Yi closely.
"Well, it was indeed me who beat him." Lu Yi said, "But everyone present can testify that this was a fight agreed upon by both parties."
"And as you can see, I was very measured in my attack. The flames only burned off some of the surface hair and did not cause any actual harm to him."
The guard looked around suspiciously, and the students nearby who were caught in his sight nodded one after another, eager to testify for Lu Yi.
The two teachers on duty who had just arrived were looking at Lu Yi in shock.
Silence is better than words at this time.
Lu Yi gave them an awkward but polite smile.
I already said I'm not familiar with him!
The author has something to say:
A wronged little wolf with a huge explosion of m attributes!
