Chapter 14 Will You Take Revenge? Lin Zhuyue went out with the basin
Gong Yongyuan was about to retort when the boy next to him pulled him, pressed the back of his neck and pressed him down on the table. He said to Lin Zhuyue:
"He's a little bit crazy, don't mind him."
Lin Zhuyue hasn't spoken yet.
The boy added:
"But you really don't deserve to be in the first class, and you don't deserve to be a teammate like Shican."
Wen Miyan interrupted in time:
"His name is Meng Qi, and he used to be Shi Can's teammate. Shi Can went on a mission with him once, but Shi Can thought he was too weak in actual combat and kicked him out. He was a little genius after all, and he had never been disliked since he was a child, so he was still upset about this."
Meng Qi curled his lips and said:
"You and Ye Yangjia have also been kicked."
Ye Yangjia emphasized:
"Let me correct you. The truth is, we both felt that Shi-chan was a difficult partner and his style was too strong, so we kicked him out one after another. There's a huge difference between kicking someone and being kicked."
Meng Qi looked at Shi Can:
"So, Shichan, you don't plan to change teammates?"
"Neither the higher-ups nor the family will allow it."
Shi Can tossed the eraser in his hand and said,
"I have no plans to change teammates for the time being. Theoretical knowledge gaps can be filled, but, Meng Dake, the lack of combat talent is a shortcoming that cannot be made up for."
Meng Qi was stunned for a moment and said:
"My name is Meng Qi, not Meng Dake! We've been partners before, after all. Can't you even remember my name?"
Shi Can said lazily:
“I don’t think there’s much difference.”
Shi Can's behavior of calling the wrong name was not very offensive, but it was extremely insulting, which directly caused Meng Qi to fall into a state of collapse and madness.
Shi Can turned around and introduced Lin Zhuyue:
"You see, he is a person who is easily defeated."
Lin Zhuyue nodded: "...I learned it."
The transfer student was very conspicuous, but most of the people in the class did not come over to greet Lin Zhuyue, and they had no intention of getting to know her.
In the eyes of these self-righteous geniuses, those with obvious fundamental flaws were not their equals. They hoped that Lin Zhuyue, this outlier, would be transferred to Class 2 or the lowest-ranking Class 9, but must be eliminated from Class 1.
They haven't come to provoke Lin Zhuyue yet, perhaps because they don't want to offend Shi Can, Wen Miyan and Ye Yangjia, or perhaps they simply don't want to bother with this transfer student.
Lin Zhuyue was still somewhat concerned about her classmates' looks, but she knew that it took time to adjust, to make up for the lessons, and to gain recognition.
After the test papers were handed out, school could be dismissed after only one last class to explain the test questions. Since most of the students in Class 1 had scored full marks and did not need explanations, this class was changed to self-study. Only Shi Can sat next to Lin Zhuyue and whispered to her to explain the questions as extra lessons.
Lin Zhuyue’s school uniform was also delivered.
The Spiritual Master Academy's uniforms are divided into three seasons: summer, winter, and spring and autumn. There are four sets for summer, two sets for winter, and two sets for spring and autumn. The styles are British-style and much better looking than the uniforms of Yuancheng No. 1 Middle School. There are also three sets of sportswear, which should be worn for specific courses.
“Do I need to pay?”
Lin Zhuyue took out his cell phone and asked,
"Can I pay with my phone? I don't have much cash on me."
These eleven sets of school uniforms plus small accessories like bows do not look cheap. Moreover, the cutting and sewing of the clothes are quite exquisite. No matter how you look at it, the cost and labor costs combined will not be less than two thousand yuan.
Fu Xingwei shook his head: "It's free."
Lin Zhuyue: “Huh?”
"There's no tuition, book fees, accommodation, or food fees," Fu Xingwei told Lin Zhuyue. "And there's also a bonus after completing a mission. It's quite a large sum. As long as students in the advanced department don't have any extravagant hobbies, it's more than enough to support themselves."
Lin Zhuyue was stunned for a moment.
She is not short of money. Although her family does not care about her much, they have never let her lack material things. She has a seven-digit balance in her bank card, and money is deposited into her every month.
But, supporting yourself...
Lin Zhuyue suddenly felt a sense of relief, as if he had thrown off a heavy burden, untied the shackles of guilt that were on his body, and could run freely towards freedom.
Fu Xingwei said to Lin Zhuyue:
"The Spiritual Master's Mansion will register a new debit card for you. You should be able to get the card the day after tomorrow. All rewards from this mission and future missions will be deposited into this card."
Soon it was time to go home from school.
The Lingshi Mansion has arranged a dormitory for Lin Zhuyue. It is located in a building southeast of the college. It is a single suite with its own bathroom, shower, kitchen and balcony. Although the dormitory building is a bit old, it has been renovated in recent years and two elevators have been installed, which is enough for the students living here.
Lin Zhuyue's luggage had been kept at Wen Miyan's house. When the students from the Spiritual Master Academy gradually dispersed, Wen Miyan asked the driver to bring the luggage over and help Lin Zhuyue tidy up the dormitory.
Shi Chan also came to help.
It wasn't because he was enthusiastic, nor was it to help his partner, but because he still had to give Lin Zhuyue extra lessons later and couldn't leave, so he just started to help.
The help provided by these two people was not in the physical sense. As soon as they entered the dormitory, they took out a simple compass and checked every corner of the room.
Wen Miyan put a talisman on the mirror.
Shi Can placed yang stones in every corner of the house, and tied nails with red ropes and nailed them to both ends of the balcony windows. The red ropes just blocked the bottom of the windows, which looked very unsightly.
Lin Zhuyue asked: "What is this?"
"Boundary."
Shi Chan answered while holding a hammer.
"It can block some curses and things like that."
Lin Zhuyue subconsciously said, "Isn't that necessary?"
This is the Spiritual Master Academy, which is directly under the Spiritual Master Mansion. Who would curse this place?
Before she could finish her words, she heard a crashing sound. A thousand paper cranes collided with the red rope barrier, then ignited by the red flames and began to burn.
Wen Miyan came out and asked, "What happened?"
Shi Chan used his spiritual power to extinguish the flames on the paper crane and reached out to bring it in. He unpacked the paper crane and unfolded it into a piece of paper with some corners burned. In the center of the paper, there was a rune drawn. The rune was dark red, and the outermost circle had spikes almost every centimeter, which looked very ominous.
"A scare charm."
Wen Miyan recognized the talisman.
"If you're cursed, you'll have nightmares for three days. This specialty product was brought back by a student who went on exchange in the UK. It spread unnoticed, and almost every student in the college uses it."
"This place is directly under the jurisdiction of the Tiancheng Spiritual Master Mansion. It's true that no one will use those kind of deadly curses and spells against you, but these kind of harmless pranks are inevitable."
Shi Can hooked his finger on the red string on the windowsill and said,
"You've just arrived and transferred to Class 1. You're too conspicuous. There will be a lot of people in the academy who dislike you and will target you."
Shi Can held a piece of paper with a spell on it in one hand and scribbled something in the air with the other. He said with some distress:
"I haven't used this thing in a long time. I remember the triple backlash spell in the UK was drawn like this..."
Spiritual power gathered at Shi Can's fingertips.
A circle emitting black air slowly took shape, imprinted on the paper. He folded the paper back into the shape of a thousand paper cranes, blew on it, threw it out the window, and said:
"Go find your master."
The thousand paper cranes seemed to come alive, flapping their wings and flying against the air flow.
"Nine days of nightmare."
Wen Miyan stood by the window and guessed leisurely,
"Will I be chased by evil spirits or zombies?"
Lin Zhuyue asked, "Can I still retaliate?"
Compared to the unpleasant feeling of being targeted, Lin Zhuyue was more easily surprised by things he had never seen before. Flying paper cranes and fighting in the air sounded magical.
"We must take revenge."
Shi Can emphasized in a strong tone,
"If you don't retaliate, others will think you're a pushover and bully you again and again, each time more harshly than the last."
Wen Miyan nodded and said:
"It's better to retaliate. The Spiritual Master Academy is sometimes a place where the strong prey on the weak."
Lin Zhuyue was a little distressed:
"But I don't seem to be very good at using magic to retaliate. I won't be good at it any time soon. Are there other ways of revenge?"
Shi Can didn't care: "As long as I get revenge, that's all."
After tidying up the dormitory, the three of them went to the cafeteria to eat together.
Lin Zhuyue commented: "West Lake vinegar fish is delicious."
“It tastes good, but it’s not authentic.”
Shi Chan matched the pace of the two girls and walked slowly beside them, saying,
"Authentic West Lake vinegar fish is always unpalatable."
Wen Miyan waved her hand and said:
"As long as it tastes good, I don't care whether it's authentic or not."
After dinner, Wen Miyan went back to her own home. Shi Can followed Lin Zhuyue back to the dormitory to tutor her.
Shi Can wasn't good at partnering with others, but his lectures were good and easy to understand. Lin Zhuyue listened to his lectures and felt that getting 30 points on her next test shouldn't be a big deal.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Shican was about to leave.
"Tell me more?"
Lin Zhuyue tried to persuade him to stay,
"At my previous school, evening study lasted until 9:50."
"Nine fifty?"
Shi Chan showed a surprised expression.
"Your old school was such a beast!"
Lin Zhuyue shook his head and said:
"It's not that bad. The No. 2 Middle School, which is three kilometers away from us, doesn't finish school until 10:10."
Shi Chan couldn't understand this kind of school dismissal time and asked:
"Is their school's academic performance better than yours?"
"No, not by a long shot."
Lin Zhuyue said pointedly,
"Otherwise, our school will change the dismissal time to 10:20."
In high school, it's all about pushing each other, pushing each other to death. What do you get from pushing yourself like that? Whatever you get, just push yourself first.
Shi Can: “…”
Shi Can stayed until half past nine. He felt that what he had said was enough for Lin Zhuyue to digest in a day, so he refused to continue and went downstairs to go home with great persistence.
Lin Zhuyue tidied up and prepared to go to bed.
But just as she pulled the quilt and lay down, a "bang" sound came from the direction of the balcony. Lin Zhuyue lifted the quilt and ran over to see, and saw a yellow paper talisman hanging in the air blocked by the air wall.
It really never ends...
Huh?
Lin Zhuyue rubbed his eyes.
She vaguely saw that the yellow talisman paper was connected to a gray line, and the other end of the line was hidden in the residential area of Tiancheng.
Although he wasn't sure, Lin Zhuyue had a feeling—
The other end of this line is connected to the person who uses the talisman paper.
Lin Zhuyue returned to the house and pulled out a pair of gloves from a drawer. These gloves had been given to her by Wen Miyan, and were said to block spiritual energy to a certain extent. She put them on and took down the yellow talisman paper.
The next day, Lin Zhuyue entered the school at 7:50, carrying a large basin of water. She filled it in the bathroom at the end of the corridor and, holding the basin, followed a gray line down the corridor.
The other end of the line was in the residential area last night and was at the advanced department of the Spiritual Master Academy this morning.
Lin Zhuyue followed the line and pushed open the door of Class 2, Grade 3, Advanced Department.
The students from Class 2 had almost all arrived. Some of them were not in their seats but were gathered together, talking and laughing.
"She didn't stay in the class long. Although she has talent, she lacked twelve years of education. Even if she has talent, it won't be easy for her to catch up."
The sound of the door being pushed open with a bang shocked everyone.
Lin Zhuyue, holding the basin of water, looked around, locked onto her target, and walked straight towards the boy standing next to the podium. Before he could react, she poured the water in the basin out.
The students in Class 2 who had reacted angrily asked, "What are you doing?"
Lin Zhuyue threw the crumpled talisman paper onto the face of the boy who had become a drowned chicken and said:
"Revenge. Those who have undergone twelve years less spiritual academy education than you have also have their own ways of revenge."
"you--"
"Do you want to call the teacher?"
Lin Zhuyue held the basin with a smile on her face.
"Which of our two sides' actions is worse and will receive a more severe punishment?"
