Wu Lai didn't expect that someone would block him at the college gate, and what he didn't expect was that the person blocking him would be Lini. He originally thought that Lini was just standing at the college gate for nothing, but when he saw Lini's eyes, he understood.
"Hello, Vice President Lini." Wu Lai walked up to Lini with a calm face.
"Wooleglindos, you are a resident student. Don't you know that resident students must have the college's approval to leave the school during class hours?" Lini's expression was serious.
Wu Lai hesitated for a moment, he knew there was such a clause in the training requirements.
"Tell me first, what did you do?" Lini asked with a frown.
"Buy medicine." Wu Lai gave the answer.
"That's what you have in your hand?" Lini frowned even more tightly. "Woolelindo, what you have in your hand should be two bottles of strong liquor. When did they become drugs?"
It turns out that the person following me is indeed from the college. Wu Lai thought so in his heart, and his eyes met with a certain teasing and questioning expression in Lini's eyes.
"Yes, these two bottles are strong liquor, but they are also very good anti-edema medicines. I heard that Vice President Lini used to be a handsome man in the legion. He wouldn't not even know this, right?" Wu Lai asked back.
"Ridiculous, strong liquor is strong liquor, stop making excuses for your mistakes." Lini's voice was filled with arrogance and displeasure. "Woolelindo, Gulukochi is being punished because of you. Of course, you will also be punished. Although I don't care much, I still don't want you to regard it as the school or my own prejudice against you."
Wu Lai frowned, Lini waved his sleeves and turned around, putting his hands behind his waist: "Let's go, when we pass the water room, I can let you stay for a while and see what kind of suffering Gulukochi is suffering."
Wu Lai's brows furrowed even more tightly.
After a while, Wu Lai saw Guru sweeping the floor in the bathroom. Guru was not alone, but was surrounded by a large group of chattering students, who were pointing and talking at him, and all kinds of ridicule and booing were heard one after another.
Guru was sweeping very attentively, his expression was unusually calm, he turned a deaf ear to everything around him, and turned a blind eye to everything around him. The broom in his hand swept slowly across the stone brick floor, again and again...
The appearance of Rini made the scene suddenly become unusually quiet, but in just a moment, almost identical greetings echoed throughout the bathroom.
Guru was stunned for a moment, then he stopped sweeping the broom and straightened up.
He immediately saw Wu Lai coming out from behind Lini, and then he smiled at Wu Lai.
Wu Lai's face was stern. He was angry and guilty, because he knew what it meant for a noble guru to sweep the floor with a broom in the Assyrian territory with strict hierarchy.
While Wu Lai had a stern face, nearly half of the students watching were laughing, with an unconcealable gloating in their smiles.
Woolley's eyes swept across the crowd, and then he saw Eddie and Quick.
Lini's voice rang in his ears: "Wooleglindal, this is all your fault, because of your disrespect for the school's rules, and because of your deception of Gulukochi and his credulity in you."
"Vice President Lini, I believe in Wuleglindo. Even if he didn't buy the medicine, I still believe every word he said." Guru said calmly.
Lini was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes became colder.
At the same time, Wu Lai's heart warmed up. He could tell that Guru was reminding him.
"No, Guru, I bought the medicine." Wu Lai raised the bottle in his hand and raised his voice amid the boos. "Although Vice President Lini insisted that it was just strong liquor, I assure you that it is a medicine to reduce swelling."
"Wulai, I believe you." Guru's smile became brighter.
"So..." Wu Lai's eyes stopped on Lini's face, "Deputy Dean Lini, your punishment is unreasonable and hasty."
There were boos, mixed with a few exclamations of surprise.
"Wooleglindos, are you questioning the rules of the academy?" Rini frowned.
"No, I never question the rules of the academy. I only question you, Vice President Lini, because I think you mixed too many personal emotions into your judgment!" Wu Lai retorted bluntly.
As soon as the words fell, the scene fell silent, and almost everyone looked at Wu Lai in shock, because his words just now seemed to be a provocation to Lini's dignity. No, not a provocation, he was provoking.
"Are you questioning me?" Rini couldn't even believe his ears.
Wu Lai smiled slightly, then nodded decisively: "Yes, I am questioning you, Vice President Lini. I remember that there is no stipulation in the training that students cannot question the Vice President, so I can understand it as I have the right to question you and question all unreasonable mistakes."
"Okay." Lini smiled instead of getting angry, and pointed at the wine bottle in Wu Lai's hand, "Since you say this is medicine, prove it to me." He could see that the mud seal on the wine bottle had not been touched, so he was very sure that there must be strong liquor in the bottle.
Wu Lai laughed and said, "Deputy Dean Lini, the part of my injury doesn't seem suitable to be displayed here, right?"
Lini smiled coldly: "Wulinglindo, can I understand your words as quibbling or that you can't prove it at all?"
"Vice President Lini, are you sure you want me to prove it in public?" Wu Lai's smile faded.
Lini nodded seriously and swung his right arm in an arc. "Everyone present here is a witness. If the bottle contains an effective swelling-reducing drug, I will cancel the punishment for Gulukochi and will not pursue the matter of you leaving the academy without permission. If not, then the punishment for both you and Gulukochi will be doubled. Wulaglindo, are you sure you heard it clearly and thought it through? Of course, if you can take the initiative to admit your mistake, I will consider only maintaining the original punishment instead of considering additional punishment."
Wu Lai pondered for a moment and cleared his throat: "I am sure that what I bought is medicine to reduce swelling."
Amid the uproar, the mockery on Eddie and Quick's faces grew stronger.
You've brought this upon yourself, Woolleglindo, Eddie thought to himself.
"Well, prove it," said Rini.
"Wulai, let me help you." Guru rolled up his left sleeve. "Your injury is inconvenient. Try it on my arm."
"Gulu, wait a minute." Wu Lai saw Guru holding up the broom and gritting his teeth and frowning. He could guess what Guru wanted to do. "Gulu, it's unnecessary. I understand what you mean, but it's unnecessary. Besides, they won't believe the effect on you."
Guru was stunned. He really wanted to share the burden with Wu Lai just now, and he was also prepared to make a specious argument in case it didn't work. However, judging from Wu Lai's actions, he seemed to be somewhat confident? Strong liquor can reduce swelling? Guru frowned involuntarily.
Wu Lai put the bottle on the floor, glanced around, and then said to Lini seriously: "If possible, who can I challenge? I can't beat myself up just to prove the effect of the drug, right?"
The loud laughter not only dissipated the slightly tense atmosphere, but also drowned out many comments on Wu Lai, such as "overestimating his own abilities".
There was a hint of amusement in Lini's expression: "Woolelindo, are you sure?"
"I'm sure." Wu Lai nodded.
"You are a coward! Coward! What qualifications do you have to challenge?" Quick's voice rang out.
Wu Lai frowned and retorted: "Why do you say I'm a coward? And why do you say I'm not qualified to challenge?" When Wu Lai said this, the vague worry in Guru's eyes suddenly turned into joy and expectation.
"Because you refused Boti's challenge!" Eddie said loudly.
"Who can prove it?" Wu Lai's voice was a little higher than Eddie's. "Who here has seen Boti challenge me?"
The laughter became much quieter, and many people even began to murmur. Yes, they had only heard Boti's unilateral announcement and had not seen it with their own eyes. Moreover, judging from Wu Lai's performance when facing the frightened horse that day, he did not seem like a coward, although he was eventually hit by the horse and was a little embarrassed.
"Who do you want to challenge?" Lini looked at Wu Lai with interest, "It won't be a weak girl, right?"
"Of course not." Wu Lai rolled his eyes at Lini and pointed in the direction of Eddie. "I want to challenge Quickshuman."
Everyone present knew that the black-faced Quick was an elite fighter of the current generation of the Shuman family. He had followed General Shuman into battle a few years ago and personally killed several enemies. He often took pleasure in killing slaves and regarded human life as worthless. He was cruel and cold-blooded. In addition, he was already in his early twenties, taller and stronger than Woolley.
"You're asking for death!" Quick sneered, spread his arms and squeezed out of the crowd.
Lini frowned. Although he had no good feelings towards Wu Lai, as the vice president, he did not want to see any accidents happen to students during the challenge: "Quick, stop right there."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Vice President Lini, it was Wu Lailindo who took the initiative to challenge me, and I must defend the dignity of the Shuman family with a challenge!" Quick raised his chin and glanced at Wu Lai arrogantly.
Lini ignored Quick's words and turned his gaze to Wulai: "Wulai Glindo, are you sure you understand what 'challenge' means?"
"Of course." Wu Lai nodded, "Please ask Vice President Lini for directions. I promise not to hurt Quickshuman too much."
Lini was slightly stunned. After a slight hesitation, he turned to look at Quick, who was ready to fight. "Although the challenge is allowed by the academy, if you do anything beyond the permitted scope during the challenge, I will show no mercy."
Quick nodded. He had been in the academy for several years and naturally knew what was not allowed.
"I'll comply," Quick promised.
"Then..." Lini was suddenly a little surprised, because he seemed to be worried about Wu Lai, "Let's do it here."
Wu Lai and Quick nodded their heads at the same time, and Rini immediately stepped aside. The students who were watching did the same as him. As a result, Guru, who was not at an advantage in height and weight, was involuntarily pushed aside.
Wu Lai moved the bottle away a little, and then began to take off his boots. His action surprised Quick, who had just drawn his wooden sword.
Woolley put his boots next to the bottle, then walked barefoot to within ten elbows of Quick and hooked his finger at him.
Quick snorted coldly, raised and bent his right arm, stepped back, and the wooden sword in his hand was close to his cheek. He put his right leg behind him, his left leg in front, his body slightly sideways, stretched out his left hand, and pointed at Wu Lai: "Come on."
Wu Lai smiled and said, "Quick, I'll give you a chance to choose. You can pick it yourself. Do you want your face or arms to swell? Or somewhere else?"
"Stop talking nonsense and draw your sword." Quick's eyes were cold. "If you don't have one, I can lend you one."
"Wooden sword?" Wu Lai showed a disdainful expression on his face. "Quick, even if you have a real bronze sword in your hand, you are still not qualified to let me draw my sword."
Quick was startled. Wu Lai had already turned his head towards Guru's direction and raised his voice twice as loud as before, with excitement and pride in his voice: "Hey, Guru, what do you think of what I said just now? Did it make you feel like a peerless swordsman?"
Guru covered his face with his hands in embarrassment and almost groaned in frustration.
"Idiot!" Quick spat out this word coldly, slid forward with his right foot, raised his right arm, and thrust out with the wooden sword...
This is just an opening move, but it should not be underestimated, because facing this wooden sword that is stabbing at you, you usually have no choice but to block or dodge.
In Quick's combat experience, several people were stabbed in the neck because they could not dodge in time and fell to the ground injured. Several people were also not strong enough to block and were hit back by Quick, causing them to be injured and fall to the ground.
There is a reason why Quick can become the elite among the new generation of the Shuman family.
The moment the wooden sword stabbed out, the onlookers couldn't help but hold their breath.
Woolley leaped up, as if facing a startled horse, and swept out with his right leg, hitting Quick's left face with his toes, swiftly and powerfully...
The moment Wu Lai's right leg swept out, Quick turned his right wrist, lowered his body, and the wooden sword that was stabbing in the air suddenly turned, changing from stabbing to hitting...
A "woooo" sound was heard in the air - this was the sound of wind caused by the wooden sword being swung too fast.
The wooden sword hit Wu Lai's right calf, decisively, firmly, and directly...
Just when the wooden sword was only half an elbow away from Wu Lai's right calf, Wu Lai's right leg suddenly bent back, and then, in full view of everyone, he curled and twisted his body in the air, completing an incredibly fast somersault, and the wooden sword in Quick's hand lost its target in an instant.
This somersault was so fast that one could only see a shadow. It was so fast that one could not see that the moment Wu Lai bent his right leg and flipped forward, he had already changed his attack from his right leg to his left leg...
"Pah" - a crisp sound suddenly rang out, and then a figure fell to the ground with a "puff" sound...
Amid the exclamations of the onlookers, Wu Lai picked up the wooden sword that Quick had dropped with a smile, took a look at it, and then threw it on the ground. Then, he waved to the astonished Guru and turned back to the wine bottle.
While Lini was surprised, there was also a hint of approval in his eyes when he looked at Wu Lai.
"Deputy Dean Lini, I can prove it to you now." Wu Lai picked up the bottle of wine. Twenty elbows behind him, Quick was lying quietly on the ground, with a mark of half a foot slowly swelling on his forehead...
"Woole Greendo!" Eddie was almost roaring in anger.
"Eddie." Woolley glanced at Eddie, rolled his eyes, and said in a voice that everyone present could hear clearly, "I'll say it again, I came to the college just to study, and I don't want to spend my time on women, so you'd better give up. Besides, your enthusiasm only makes me feel disgusted."
"You, you..." Eddie almost couldn't finish her breath. She knew very well how damaging Wu Lai's words just now were - this shameless guy actually framed her for unrequited love and pursued him relentlessly.
At this moment, Eddie wanted the people around her to be "sharp-eyed". However, she could clearly see surprise, scrutiny, doubt, confusion, as well as teasing and amusement in the eyes of everyone looking at her...
"Wooleglindos! You're a scoundrel!" After Eddie finally shouted out these words, he didn't have the face to stay in the bathroom any longer and continued to feel embarrassed. He made up his mind and simply squeezed out of the crowd and "escaped", without even bothering to pay attention to Quick who was lying unconscious on the ground.
"Oh, Woolleglindo is too..." Several students who were somewhat interested in Eddie shook their heads and sighed.
