Despite her haste, Cheng Huaijin finally made it into the classroom just before the bell rang.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she always felt like the students in the classroom were watching her.
Having already chosen his seat upon registration, Cheng Huaijin went directly to his seat and sat down. Just as he sat down, he received a message from Fang Juexia.
[Fang Juexia: Huaijin! Have you checked Renren.com?!]
Cheng Huaijin stuffed his schoolbag into the desk drawer and put his hand underneath to reply to the message.
[Cheng Huaijin: What news? I was packing until midnight last night, I'm so tired.]
[Fang Juexia: You're famous now! Someone filmed your duel with Lei Ke in the training room yesterday and posted it on the school's intranet! It's the number one trending post right now!]
Cheng Huaijin knew about Renren (校内网), since she wanted to gather information about her competitors or exam tips when she took the supplementary enrollment exam. Unfortunately, Renren only allowed registration with student information. At that time, Cheng Huaijin wasn't a student at Yaotian Junior High School, so she wasn't eligible to register on Renren.
Now Cheng Huaijin is qualified, but she hasn't had time to register or check what's on the school's intranet.
Cheng Huaijin replied: [I haven't registered yet. What did they say about me there? Good or bad things?]
Fang Juexia was rather short and was sitting in the first row, quite a distance from Cheng Huaijin, who was sitting in the last row. Taking advantage of the teacher's absence, Fang Juexia ran to Cheng Huaijin's seat and excitedly said, "Everyone says you're amazing! Look!"
Cheng Huaijin took her phone and saw the first trending post on Yaotian Junior High School's intranet.
[Shocking! Yaotian F4 members were reportedly beaten up by a female student who was auditioning for a second round?! Video evidence available!]
Cheng Huaijin: What the heck? This looks like the style of art I used to see in elementary school.
She clicked on the post, and the first thing she saw was a quote from the original poster, "Riding a Donkey to Read a Songbook".
[The Yaotian F4 have been bullying everyone at school, monopolizing most of the school's resources, and the result is that they were brutally beaten by the girls who were admitted through the supplementary enrollment! It's utterly shameful! Besides being handsome, what else does this so-called F4 have? I strongly doubt the authenticity of their previous rankings; was there any manipulation involved? Otherwise, how could trash like Lei Ke be ranked fourth? I think F4 is just a bunch of useless trash! Also, their brainless fans, don't rush to bark like dogs; there's video evidence. Watch it before you argue!]
Cheng Huaijin quickly skimmed through the text and then clicked on the video below.
Sure enough, it was a video of her duel with Lei Ke. In the video, her and the Black Egg Beast's faces were clearly shown, and Cheng Huaijin felt that she had gained some weight.
...No! That's not the point. The point is that she seems to have been forced into the center of public attention.
"Yaotian F4... what is that?" Cheng Huaijin asked Fang Juexia with a puzzled look.
"Shh!" Fang Juexia immediately covered Cheng Huaijin's mouth. "Watch your mouth! I'm not talking to you now, I'll type it out to you."
Cheng Huaijin watched in bewilderment as Fang Juexia crouched down and slipped back to his seat. What was this kid up to?
[Fang Juexia: I didn't finish what I was saying earlier. I told you that Yaotian F4 has quite a few fans, so you need to be careful! They see you as a thorn in their side right now!]
[Cheng Huaijin: (Dementia.jpg) Why? What did I do to offend them?]
[Fang Juexia: You don't understand! Let me tell you about the three most popular students at Yaotian Junior High!]
Cheng Huaijin: Your humble servant is all ears.
Fang Juexia: Good!
Through Fang Juexia's explanation, Cheng Huaijin finally understood the cause and effect of the matter.
First, we need to explain the three major groups that attract a lot of attention at Yaotian Junior High School. They are the Yaotian Junior High School Student Council (an official organization), the school teams (Battle Team, Gorgeous Team, and Training Team), and Yaotian F4 (student-organized).
The student union can be understood as a student organization established by the school, responsible for handling the relationship between the school and students, and handling internal student affairs.
The school teams primarily compete in various events, including combat teams (for combat matches), glamorous teams (for beauty pageants), and nurturing teams (for healing and research competitions). The teams are divided into three tiers: Tier 1 teams represent the entire school and are the strongest; Tier 2 teams are generally reserve teams for Tier 1 teams, training alongside them and acting as sparring partners, sometimes even playing in matches the Tier 1 teams don't want to participate in; Tier 3 teams include school-organized grade-level representative teams and student-organized teams, representing the lowest level of competition.
Because the world of Beast Taming highly values beast taming skills, the top-tier school teams receive a lot of attention, not only within the school but also outside. The Yaotian school team, due to its outstanding performance in competitions, has gained many fans outside the school. Especially in this year's recently concluded Middle School Individual Beast Taming League, Chen Yuwei, a second-year student from Yaotian Junior High, won the runner-up title in the individual competition, gaining a huge following.
Her pet beast, the Ice Spirit Fox, is small and cute in appearance, but extremely powerful. The Ice Spirit Fox possesses the ability to control ice elements and has a wide range of skills, including Ice Spirit Shuttle, Frost Breath, Icy Touch, and Healing Kiss.
One particular match against Zhang Siyu, a popular player from No. 1 Middle School, was especially memorable. Chen Yuwei ordered Ice Fox to use the Ice Spirit Shuttle skill to quickly dodge enemy attacks, while using the Frost Breath skill to cause a wide-range freezing effect on the enemy. After the freezing buff took effect, Ice Fox then released the Icy Touch skill to quickly attack the enemy.
This series of moves was executed flawlessly, defeating Zhang Siyu in one fell swoop and allowing Chen Yuwei to advance smoothly into the finals.
Unfortunately, the defending champion Egia and her pet Stormhawk were just too strong, otherwise Chen Yuwei would have had a good chance of winning the championship!
Having discussed the two official teams above, the remaining one is a purely student-organized "traffic group"—Yaotian F4.
