Chapter 70 The Slum Boy's Desperate Comeback (Part 15)
Tru and Sis exchanged a glance. Tru frowned, and a fierce rage suddenly erupted in his eyes.
Dissatisfied...very dissatisfied. Tru felt a surge of anger rising in his chest at the thought of one of his subordinates falling at Sis's hands.
Tru was undoubtedly a petty and vindictive fellow. Looking at Si Yisi, he wanted to unleash all the anger he felt from being punished on Si Yisi!
So what if he takes his anger out on others? He has every right to do so!
If Tru knew that the damned guy who ruined his reputation was Si Yisi, he would be absolutely furious and would want to tear Si Yisi to pieces on the spot!
"What is this?" Tru turned his gaze away, looking arrogant and nonchalant.
His words revealed his contempt and hostility, prompting some aristocratic students to respond with ill intent.
"Your Highness, that's a lucky kid from the slums. I guess he was assigned to the wrong class so he's qualified to study with us."
"What's his name... I think it's something like Shian?" Rubin eagerly pledged allegiance to Tru. He was just a second-class nobleman, and he never expected to have the opportunity to get on the good side of such a glittering big shot.
He eagerly showed off himself, utterly despising Si Yisi.
Before Rubin could even finish his ingratiating smile, he felt a gust of wind rush towards him! Even with his physical abilities, he couldn't dodge it!
Rubin groaned in pain as a foot stepped on his abdomen, sending him sprawling to the ground in a sorry state!
The students from the noble departments, along with some ordinary students who were watching, all showed expressions of surprise. None of them had expected Si Yisi to dare to make a move here, and with such lightning speed... so catching everyone off guard!
“My name is Si’an.” Si’s lips curled into a cold smile. He glanced at the noblemen who had all taken a step back, unable to hide their surprise and anger, but his foot remained firmly planted on Rubin’an, never leaving his body!
Tru was also startled; his fingernails dug into his flesh, and his expression became quite distorted!
Si Yisi disciplined Rubin in front of him, which was a provocation to him!
"What do you want to do! Cough cough cough." Rubin shouted anxiously, "His Highness the Third Prince is right here, how dare you?!"
Rubin didn't want to break free from Si Yisi, but he found that he couldn't budge Si Yisi at all with his strength! That foot felt like it weighed a ton, like a boulder pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe!
Huff, huff.
Rubin could even hear his own increasingly heavy breathing. He struggled in vain, only to find that his strength was being depleted faster and faster, and that he was getting less and less air—he was about to suffocate!
No!
Rubin's face turned a deep purplish-red. He stared at Si Yisi in horror, feeling as if the force applied to his abdomen was about to crush his bones and soft organs!
He couldn't take it anymore!
Tears and snot streamed down Rubin's face as he stammered, "It's Si'an...it's Si'an, let me go, let me go!"
He could sense that Si Yisi was truly capable of killing him; he was truly capable of killing him in front of these aristocratic students! He didn't want to die—!
Si Yisi smiled at Rubin and finally let go of his foot. In that instant, Rubin felt a sense of relief, as if he had survived a disaster! He couldn't think of any revenge against Si Yisi; the only thing echoing in his mind was—I survived!
Just as Sis loosened his foot, Tru finally realized what a terrible scene was unfolding before him.
"What are you doing!" Tru was furious, like a raging lion, and his words came fiercely at Sis.
Si Yisi lowered her head slightly, seemingly to yield, or perhaps in a different kind of provocation: "Third Prince... are all aristocratic students like this?"
"Does being a noble give you the right to belittle and insult others at will? Or... is this how students from noble departments usually treat students from ordinary departments?"
"But doesn't Anderson College's school rules state that everyone should be treated equally?"
Si Yisi's voice was also soft and weak, just like his mother Lisa's. It lacked strength, yet carried enough power to leave the aristocratic students in a difficult position!
Not to mention that he deliberately amplified his voice in the last few sentences, so that the ordinary students could clearly hear what he said!
Before long, several students from the general studies department stopped to watch. Si Yisi's thin and frail appearance, like a lamb that had fallen into a pack of wolves, combined with his words, aroused the empathy and pity of the students from the general studies department.
For a moment, many students from ordinary departments even glared angrily at the students from aristocratic departments!
These aristocratic students were known for bullying ordinary students, a fact that was common knowledge among the students of Anderson College! Si Yisi's words stirred up a storm, arousing the hidden resentment and anger of some ordinary students passing by!
"You fucking..." Tru was furious, but was stopped by Lin Xi'an, who stood silently to the side.
Lin Xi'an pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "This was Rubin's fault, and I will have him apologize to you. Your Highness, Third Prince, don't you agree? As students at Anderson Military Academy, they should abide by the school rules."
Lin Xi'an's words were partly a rebuke to Rubin, but also a double entendre to Trudeau, telling him to behave himself!
He was "exiled" here, and if he continues to act so arrogantly, he may never regain favor!
Tru's forehead veins were bulging, showing that he was forcibly enduring it. Lin Xi'an's words had really hit his weak spot, which made Tru's eyes even more gloomy, and he reluctantly said...
"Yes, that's right. Rubin should...apologize!"
"Did you hear that, Rubin? Go apologize again." Lin Xi'an said lazily, watching as several people helped Rubin up.
Rubin winced in pain and trembled as he moved closer to Si Yisi: "Si... Si'an, it was my fault."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was so frightened that his eyes rolled back and he collapsed! Rubin's sudden fall also affected many of the aristocratic students standing next to him.
They frantically braced themselves, their supposed noble demeanor completely gone!
Tru gave Si Yisi a deep look and said, word by word, "Si An, I... remember... you." But judging from his expression, he clearly wanted nothing more than to tear Si Yisi apart.
Si Yisi, however, seemed completely oblivious to Tru's implied meaning, and replied, "I am deeply grateful for the Third Prince's kindness."
Tru paused, his face ashen—what a load of rubbish about favors! Just you wait… thinking you can do whatever you want just because you have Super A-level mental strength? In the end, you're nothing but a bastard who grew up in the slums!
Sis watched Tru leave and gently shook her head.
Tru really lacks composure; in this respect, he's even less composed than these second- or third-rank noble scions. Did he come here specifically to establish his authority, hoping to use his status to suppress Si'an?
But you should know that not everything can go according to your wishes!
After this failed attempt to establish authority, the students in the aristocratic department became very strange towards Si Yisi, with only Lin Xi'an being the only "freak" who eagerly chatted with Si Yisi.
Whenever these aristocratic students saw Si Yisi, they would glance at him with a contemptuous yet wary look, and then collectively ignore him as if he were invisible.
This is isolation!
They excluded Si Yisi from their inner circle, completely isolating him!
This is a common form of "mild" school violence; students with weaker mental fortitude would have been isolated and driven to a mental breakdown long ago!
But Si Yisi wasn't buying it at all! He went to class, did his regular training, and went home with an air of nonchalance... as meticulous as a robot, yet he got a top A in every subject!
Lin Xi'an seemed to have ignored Si Yisi's existence, and only knocked on Si Yisi's door more than ten days later to meet him again.
Si Yisi was working on a precise mecha project on a blueprint. After bringing Lin Xi'an into the room, he once again ignored Lin Xi'an and continued with his calculations!
Si Yisi's pen flew across the page, and a series of complex and tedious data were easily calculated by his eyes. Lin Xi'an, sitting next to him, clearly saw all of this and suddenly realized that Si Yisi's calculations were all aimed at the mecha!
Or rather... for mecha modifications!
Lin Xi'an was dazzled by what he saw, and it took him a while to suppress his shock before he said, "The academy's midterm exams are about to begin, so you'd better prepare in advance."
Students in the elite department receive an elite education, which differs from that of students in the regular department. They learn more and more diverse subjects, and they do not specialize in any particular subject.
As a result, many students have a lot of knowledge but not a lot of expertise, and in terms of advantages in a certain aspect, they are no match for students from general departments who specialize in that area.
However, due to Anderson College's tradition, students from both the aristocratic and regular departments will face the same test during the midterm examination, with a survival-of-the-fittest principle applied. Students who rank too low will be directly expelled from Anderson Military Academy!
"So?" Si Yisi asked rhetorically, as he was calculating how to improve the components on Atu's mech.
The robot vacuum cleaner, A-Tu, rolled past Si Yisi and Lin Xi'an's feet with a plop-plop sound, pretending to sweep the floor as if it were a common occurrence.
Who would have thought that such an ugly little robot would be an intelligent mech capable of beating up most people?
"I'm just here to remind you that you should know that both the common and noble factions have a lot of complaints about you." Lin Xi'an shrugged.
"Especially that Truru guy, he treats you like you're his enemy."
"The person who attacked me in the slums was his subordinate," Si Yisi said without blinking.
"Hmm? You know?" Lin Xi'an asked again, "Do you know why he's targeting you like this?"
"Does he think I'm a threat to his position?"
Lin Xi'an said "Oh," and then added, "What a suspicious guy." He thought he probably understood something; Tru was targeting Si'an because he somehow knew about his talent.
But to "condescend" to deal with someone from the slums like this, doesn't it really seem beneath you?
"In short, remember to be careful during this final exam." Lin Xi'an winked at Si Yisi.
His father rose from an ordinary person to become a marshal, so how could he possibly see Si Yisi as a major threat like an ordinary aristocratic student?
"I understand," Si Yisi replied calmly, without a trace of anxiety about being targeted.
He casually patted the robot vacuum cleaner on the head, earning a naughty shove in return.
*
On a lonely planet.
This planet appears grayish-black from the perspective of an external spaceship, but upon closer inspection, it can be seen that this grayish-black color is constantly "flowing"!
Those were countless insect eggs, piled up one after another! At this moment, these translucent insect eggs seemed to have reached a critical moment, impacting the outer shell of the insect again and again. A viscous liquid flowed inside the insect eggs, and the insect shape inside could be vaguely seen.
On this planet, there are also several adult insectoids. They are all black, have a ferocious appearance, and their exoskeletons are sharp weapons!
"This batch of baby insects is not getting enough nutrition... they need to plunder more energy."
One of the Zerg spoke, its appearance resembling a mutated mantis.
"Anlina, do you have any ideas?"
The female Zergling, Anlina, flicked her tail and meticulously applied red nail polish to her nails.
Then she parted her "red lips" slightly, revealing her sharp teeth: "There is a way—I think it's time to make use of the little spies we left in the Kaz Empire."
"I'll listen to you."
"This is a critical moment for the survival of the Zerg!"
This is a critical moment for the survival of the Zerg! As Anlina listened to the cries of her kin, a strange light flashed in her eyes, which were the size of ping-pong balls.
