Class Teacher System

Chapter 124: Save the brain dead lover (3)

Teacher Ren’s pleasant breakfast was disrupted by four people. Aside from one guy who needed his help, the other three each needed a good lesson. While eating his breakfast, Teacher Ren pondered how he should deal with these three guys. His system was still active, indicating that his abilities were still intact. Even though he was as thin as a bamboo stick now, he could easily make them run hundreds of laps around the playground in a matter of minutes!

Yes, due to the sudden change in his identity, he almost forgot that he was still a teacher with a system, capable of disciplining troublemakers.

But now he remembered, and the only thing left was figuring out how to subtly deal with these three guys and even the ferocious teenage chuuni boy beside them.

Ren Zhu finished his breakfast contentedly and patted his now comfortable stomach. He first placed his tray on the cart for dirty dishes, then looked at the two Fatties and the Skinny boy who followed him out. Suddenly, he spoke, “Why are you three following me? Don’t you know the way to the classroom? You’ve been studying here for years, and you still don’t know the way? Are you all dumb?”

The tall and bulky leader among the two Fatties and the Skinny, Bu Lu, was instantly enraged upon hearing this, “You’re calling us stupid?! You weakling! Your psychic and physical power are both E-rated garbage! Who are you to call us stupid?”

Ren Zhu looked at them silently for three seconds. When these three guys started feeling inexplicably guilty, he spoke, “How about we make a bet? Let’s bet on who reaches the classroom first. If I get there first, you guys have to avoid me in the future. Otherwise, you’ll be in for some bad luck even drinking cold water. Of course, if I’m later to the classroom than you, I’ll give you five credits every day. How does that sound?”

Bu Lu, the tall Fat One, scoffed at this, “You’re daydreaming! Do you think we’re beggars? You want to give us only five credits every day? You should give us at least ten, or else we’ll beat you up!”

Ren Zhu didn’t respond to this. At this moment, Yi Xiao, who had followed the conversation from the door, thought that this thin bamboo-like guy was indeed not very bright. No matter how you looked at it, this agreement was disadvantageous to him. Even if, in the end, he miraculously reached the classroom ahead of these three big guys, considering their personalities, they would definitely not keep the agreement. They might even become more vicious after winning the bet and bully him even more relentlessly.

Indeed, weak people shouldn’t live in this world. Who cares if they perish?

Yi Xiao continued walking with an indifferent face. When he had taken his second step, he heard the voice of the thin bamboo-like guy:

“If I lose, I will willingly give you five credits every day. That’s my bottom line. If you guys don’t agree, I will resist you every time and report this matter to all the teachers. Even if you beat me up, I will still tell the teachers. Anyway, you’ve forced me into a corner, so before you push me to death, I might as well finish you off first.”

The voice wasn’t loud, and it even sounded calm and childlike, but this calmness sent a strong sense of threat through Bu Lu and the others. Bu Lu, in particular, initially wanted to retort angrily, but after meeting Ren Zhu’s gaze, he shuddered and clenched his teeth, “If you lose, you really will give us five credits every day?”

Ren Zhu nodded, “Yes. But if you guys lose, you’ll have to avoid me in the future.”

Bu Lu snorted. Being the leader of this little group and realizing that targeting Ren Zhu, a weak and timid individual, would likely lead to being reported to the teachers, he understood that this five credits per day was actually better than the possibility of expulsion due to reporting. Moreover, it sounded better. Anyway, this was a bet, and if you lose a bet, you must accept it, right?

“Alright, let’s agree to this! Let’s start now!” Bu Lu declared and then dashed off directly. Even though he was quite confident he would win, the faster he reached the classroom, the more he could show off his strength and speed.

Ren Zhu watched their retreating figures and pursed his lips. Then, that annoying teenage chuuni boy spoke up, “Are you brain-dead to make such a sure-lose bet?”

Ren Zhu clicked his tongue, “What’s it to you? Maybe they accidentally fell into a big pit on the way.”

Yi Xiao sneered, “Relying on vague possibilities, you deserve to be beaten.” With that, he turned and left, thinking that he had, for a moment, believed this guy was not the submissive type, but that must have been an illusion caused by his momentary psychic turbulence. He was just a weakling who should be eliminated.

Teacher Ren stared at the departing chuuni boy’s back and ground his teeth, “Not likable at all, serves him right for being brain-dead!”

After saying this, his expression froze, and a look of disbelief washed over his face. Even his eyes widened.

【System prompt: The host has just activated the “Prophecy of ClassTeacher” skill. The chance of Bu Lu’s group falling into a pit is over ninety percent, Yi Xiao’s brain-dead value is rising, and the chance of his second outbreak today is over fifty percent.】

“Isn’t… hey, system?!”

The system played dead.

Ren Zhu stood there, his expression turning strangely eerie for a while, “Did that teenage chuuni boy really call himself Yi Xiao? Is he really the Yi in ‘Yi Xiao’?”

In other words, is that chuuni teenager who doesn’t seem likable his destined partner for several lifetimes?!

The system continued to play dead.

Then, Teacher Ren undoubtedly knew the answer.

“…” Ren Xiao Zhu pursed his lips and walked quickly towards the classroom. His steps grew faster and faster, eventually turning into a sprint. His expression, from rigid to increasingly fierce, had become almost menacing by the time he rushed into the classroom.

This angered their homeroom teacher, who was currently teaching.

“Ren Zhu? Is something wrong? Why do you look so pale?”

Ren Zhu took a deep breath, calming his expression and answering the teacher’s question honestly, “No, I just made a bet with Bu Lu and the others to see who would reach the classroom first. It seems that I’ve won.”

As he said this, the entire third-grade Class 5 students were utterly astonished! They all stared wide-eyed at this guy who hardly ever spoke in class, who was incredibly timid. No one would have thought that such a timid individual would dare to bet with Bu Lu and his gang of troublemakers and, moreover, seemed to have won?!

Ren Zhu remained calm under this scrutiny, entering the classroom at a leisurely pace and walking to his seat. Their homeroom teacher, Zhang Lijun, had originally intended to say something. She was somewhat aware that Bu Lu’s group bullied Ren Zhu, but Ren Zhu had never dared to tell her even once, leaving her with no way to intervene in the matter. However, now…

So, this thin and small child she had been worrying about finally showed some resistance. In that case, she could also do something, at least within the class.

Therefore, when fifteen minutes later, Bu Lu and his gang appeared at the classroom door, covered in dirt and disheveled, their homeroom teacher Zhang Lijun raised her eyebrows and said, “You’re late, Bu Lu.”

Naturally, Bu Lu and his gang were aware of that. They also knew that they had lost the bet! Due to their eagerness, they didn’t pay attention to the signs on the side of the road while running and accidentally stepped into a slightly sunken area marked for dangerous repairs, falling directly into a pit. If their physical strength hadn’t been decent, and they hadn’t supported each other to climb out of the pit, they might not have known when they’d be rescued!

However, precisely because of this, Bu Lu and his gang were very dissatisfied with the bet. After they entered the classroom, they gave Ren Zhu in the corner a menacing look, clearly planning to make a move after class. Unfortunately, just as the class ended, before chaos could erupt, Ren Zhu stood in front of the entire class and their homeroom teacher and said to Bu Lu and his gang, “Bu Lu, let’s abide by the bet. From now on, when you see me, you need to take a detour. Otherwise, even drinking water will choke you.”

“Huff! We fell into a pit! This one doesn’t count. Let’s do it again!”

Ren Zhu shook his head, using the calm tone he had started the bet with, “Luck is also a form of strength. Obviously, your luck is not as good as mine. So, you should be willing to accept defeat.”

“No way! I just had bad luck this time. Maybe it’ll be better next time! Who said our luck is definitely worse than yours?! Either way, we’ll compete again! Otherwise, I’ll hit you every time I see you!” Bu Lu roared, and the whole class heard it. Then, their homeroom teacher also heard it.

She quickly frowned, “Bu Lu, what are you saying? Are you trying to bully your classmates?”

Bu Lu was suddenly silenced, but his eyes remained red as he glared at Ren Zhu. Ren Zhu squinted slightly at his appearance and nodded, “Fine.”

And so, the whole third-grade Class 5 was in an uproar. Their homeroom teacher, Zhang Lijun, considering this could resolve the conflict harmoniously, adjusted the schedule with the next teacher, leading them to the playground.

This time, Ren Zhu made another bet with Bu Lu and his gang: whoever completed a lap around the playground first would win.

Zhang Lijun and the other thirty students in Class 5 watched them from the starting line, serving as witnesses.

This big commotion from the third-grade Class 5 naturally attracted many students’ attention. Among them, the senior students of Class 7, who were already in the midst of a mech operation class on the playground, also saw them. Yi Xiao, frowning, listened to his desk mate, class leader, and now a follower of his, Zack’s explanation for a while before saying, “Did those three guys really fall into a pit?”

Zack didn’t understand, “What pit? I think this time, unless there’s a miracle, that little bamboo stick is definitely going to lose. Who knows how he mustered the courage to bet like that? Does he have some secret weapon?”

As Bu Lu was nearing completion of over half the distance, victory almost within reach, he suddenly changed his expression and sat down, clutching his left leg. His two followers, Buda and Buck, who were following him, rushed forward to check on him. However, they ended up bumping into each other, stepping on each other’s feet, and causing tears to flow down each other’s faces.

Both their homeroom teacher, Zhang Lijun, and the students from Class 5 who had been watching the entire race were dumbfounded. Even the other onlookers couldn’t believe it. Zack chuckled and said to the person beside him, Yi Xiao, “That kid’s got some good luck!”

With his good luck, Ren Zhu passed by Bu Lu and his gang at a steady pace. When Bu Lu saw this, he was infuriated beyond measure. He gritted his teeth and huffed and puffed, determined not to lose in front of the whole school. He couldn’t afford that embarrassment! He absolutely couldn’t lose to Ren Zhu!!

Thus, limping and injured, Bu Lu chased after Ren Zhu.

When Ren Zhu heard heavy breathing behind him, he was somewhat surprised. He turned his head and looked at Bu Lu, whose face had turned pale and distorted due to running. Ren Zhu suddenly found him slightly more pleasant than before. Nevertheless, even under these circumstances, Ren Zhu couldn’t afford to lose. He smiled at Bu Lu and accelerated, sprinting ahead.

Bu Lu was even more infuriated by this smile. It was blatant, gloating enjoyment! It was just too much! Unbearable!

Of course, Ren Zhu was the first to cross the finish line. However, his first action after crossing the finish line wasn’t to celebrate but to turn around and wait for Bu Lu. When Bu Lu angrily rushed over the finish line, raising his fist towards him, Ren Zhu deftly dodged the punch. He then reached out and grabbed Bu Lu’s sturdy leg, which was trembling uncontrollably due to the cramp.

“What are you doing?!” Bu Lu felt greatly alarmed.

Ren Zhu rolled his eyes, “Do what I say. Slowly lift the front of your foot. I’ll give you a leg massage, or else your leg will swell up like a bun when you go to the medical room later.”

In truth, Bu Lu’s sturdy “carrot-like” leg hadn’t improved much. However, Ren Zhu’s rather professional massage technique gradually made it feel better. It no longer hurt as much as it did before when it cramped. Bu Lu’s complexion also improved somewhat.

But he had no intention of saying thank you!

“Willing to accept defeat. It seems your luck truly isn’t as good as mine.”

Bu Lu was furious, and not only did he not want to say thank you, but he also wanted to hit someone!

At this moment, the teacher and the classmates arrived. Everyone worked together to help Bu Lu, Buda, and Buck to the medical room. Then, the three wounded guys reluctantly admitted that they had lost the second bet.

In front of their classmates, they said grudgingly, “Fine, we’ll take a detour from now on!”

However, Teacher Ren’s stern face shook, “And you’ll serve as my underlings for a month.”

Bu Lu and his gang exploded, “Don’t even think about it!”

Other classmates also found this impossible. One of Ren Zhu’s desk mates, a girl with twisted braids, tugged on Ren Zhu’s sleeve and whispered, “Don’t be so stubborn. They won’t give you trouble anymore. Isn’t that enough?” She knew Ren Zhu often went hungry.

Ren Zhu didn’t insist. He just cast that somewhat unsettling gaze at Bu Lu, Buda, and Buck, saying, “…Up to you, anyway, it’s not me who’ll be unlucky.”

Then, Ren Zhu left.

At that moment, Zack was still commenting on how impressive it was that Ren Zhu turned around to help Bu Lu in the end. But after a while, Yi Xiao, still marveling, focused on only one thing: “That chubby guy’s leg is covered in dirt and sweat, isn’t he afraid of getting dirty?”

Zack: “…” He could never understand the thought process of this brainy master.

However, he soon didn’t have time or energy to contemplate the master’s thoughts because their archenemies were approaching. Or rather, Yi Xiao’s archenemies were here to pick a fight.

“Ha! Isn’t this a rare sight! Our hero’s offspring, who often skips and misses classes, is actually attending class today? Could it be that your psychic power outburst has healed you? This is indeed an achievement that’s rarely seen in the history of federal medicine. But even if you haven’t recovered, you don’t need to worry. The chief of the seventh grade this year will undoubtedly be me. With me around, the Hero’s Scion can rest and recover properly. Then, I’ll lead our Steller Academy to crush the Military Academy and Cosmic Exploration Academy next door.”

The speaker was a handsome blond youth. However, his haughty and gloating tone made him rather unpleasant. Behind him were two followers, giving him a leadership aura.

“Did you make a fool of yourself? You only got third place in the inter-grade match last year, and your sixth grade to ninth grade results are the worst among all the years. Aren’t you embarrassed?” Yi Xiao stared coldly at this guy, feeling utterly annoyed by what he said. “Rather than letting you lead, the school might as well forfeit the game.”

The things they were discussing revolved around the “Federal Academy Tournament” that was going to take place in three months. It was an annual academy competition that the entire Wisdom Star, even the top ten planets of the Federation, paid close attention to. The competition would showcase the strength of each academy and any outstanding geniuses or research accomplishments. Every student who stood out in this competition would have a bright future, some of them even getting noticed by major corporations or conglomerates before they graduated.

However, the number of participants from each academy was limited. Only students from the middle grades, sixth to ninth grade, were eligible to participate, and the participants were divided according to the competition categories. Each category could have only one representative from each grade. Then there were the two most important events: the mech tournament and the supernatural power contest. These two were team events, with each grade allowed to send five participants.

It was clear that the handsome blond youth intended to fight for those five spots in the upcoming team competitions.

Unfortunately, Yi Xiao wasn’t someone to be trifled with. Qiaozhi Souya’s retort, coupled with his sarcasm, set him ablaze with anger. In a fit of rage, he blurted out, “You, abandoned by your family and doomed to die in the Abyss Black Hole, dare to be so arrogant! Since you’re going to die sooner or later, you might as well wait there now!”

As soon as this sentence came out, the faces of the people around them changed. Zack fiercely glared at Qiaozhi Souya and shouted, “Everyone step back! If you don’t want to die, step back!”

Bang!

A psychic storm erupted around the playground.
