At dusk, Zunhao was writing an essay report in his office, his face full with resentment. "An Apology and Explanation cohesively expressing the bad performance of No. 88 High."
It was a full four thousand word essay, including a three thousand word thought piece of his bad performance, and he couldn't go home until he got it done!
With nothing left to lose, Zunhao straightaway broke his pen in half, and the ink splattered onto Xie Zhenyu's face.
Xie Zhenyu: "Man, what the f**k! That's the thirtieth one today!" He reached for a box of tissues to wipe his face clean.
"There's something abnormal with No. 90 High!" Zunhao sneered.
Every attempt he's made to somewhat try and humiliate them has backfired! It's like they were expecting this from them.
Hearing Zunhao's roar, Xie Zhenyu just buried his face into his hands.
Baiye, who was sitting in one of the sofa chairs there with a dissatisfied look on his face merely shook his head. "Zunhao's right. There is something about them, that makes them look more than meets the eye."
"Exactly!"
For one, the formation flags which mysteriously exploded still have no explanation till this day! And furthermore, the maintainer of the flags received news that the circuits inside of them were warped and scorching hot, and the rest of the school's facilities had been damaged in varying degrees.
From the small equipment…
To the large tvs…
To the large holographic monitor equipments…
Although none of them had suffered major damage like the formation flags, they dealt with great errors and black screens throughout use.
In just one day of No. 90 visiting, No. 89 had suffered great losses in equipment!
These included thirty percent of school equipment.
Flipping through the damage reports, Zunhao's eyes widened a little, "Shit! They didn't come for the exchange meet, they came to demolish us!"
Baiye and Xie Zhenyu looked to each other in unison and back to Zunhao. If anything, they have to prove that "prophecy" false!
Baiye cleared his throat, "I heard that they're hanging around Longxi Avenue later. Should I get someone to somewhat deal with them?"
Somewhat?? Excuse me!?
Dealing with Misaki inside the school was one thing, but outside school grounds? Zunhao knew that he couldn't countermeasure that.
The Grand Young Miss of the Lotus Group was protected even outside school grounds. This was due to the Grand Paradise incident that happened three weeks ago; ever since, the family had funded the best bodyguards to protect her at all times. The bodyguards were just like Bitdefender — impossible to get rid of! Even a mosquito wouldn't get a chance to get close to her.
"This is a tough one, but we don't have to aim at her."
Xie Zhenyu thought for a sec before continuing, "Based on the data I've been collecting and summarizing… Zhen Jie is actually a rich second generation and Han Jue, although his family owns a pet shop; they have some political connections and history, and Lianhua and Xinyan, are both pretty close to Misaki. The only one that's left is…"
Hearing this, Zunhao gritted his teeth. "The silver eyed pretty boy that drank the poisonous water!"
"Mhm. He doesn't have much of a background. He lives in a small neighborhood, and his family is seemingly poor. He brought a wooden sword to the exchange meet—"
"It has to be him!" Zunhao slammed his hand to the desk.
Among the six there was this one soft taozi!
At the same time elsewhere, Xero couldn't help but sneeze.
…
They were free to do what they liked at night. After having dinner at the canteen, No. 90 High School planned to go out and stroll around Longxi Avenue. Since the school dormitory hadn't officially opened yet, the caretaker handed the entrance vip card to Misaki before hurriedly going to go take care of her child.
Xero initially was going to decline going with them, but as soon as he opened his mouth — his nose started twitching!
Fine, he had to alter his original intention then. He can't avoid it now.
Whenever Xero had a difficult choice, he would judge the accuracy and intention based on the twitching of his nose.
This "nose twitching" ability also carried some risks. It could only judge of current behavior and actions not of when they are already strolling on designated street. So if something unexpected were to happen — Xero couldn't foresee what would happen to them then.
Ancient Relic was a lazy fatass, and before leaving them to go stroll, handed them a spirit summoning talisman.
"Alright students, here is a spirit summoning talisman for each of you. Whenever you run into trouble, just summon me and I'll take care of this,"
"Okay! Thank you, Teacher Xuan! We'll be back soon." They accepted the spirit sealing talisman and nodded in unison.
Ancient Relic nodded without saying anything else.
"By the way, be careful. I heard that there is a gang that specializes in 'pengci' on Longxi Avenue."
… A gang that specializes in pengci?! Everyone was taken aback.
In every way, this was a red flag to Xero!
On cue, his nose started to twitch.
Danger level two stars…
…
It was hard to be a person, even harder to maintain being a low-key person.
Xero had never wanted to put himself first as a hero. For him, it wasn't already easy for him to steadfastly complete his studies.
Longxi Avenue was pretty close to No. 89 High. And for a group of Foundation Establishment students, it took twenty minutes to get there by foot.
Also, they pretty much avoided using bikes, because of the "Eternal Cycle" app incident. For the sake of avoiding the ill willed Pengci Gang bastards.
Everyone was strolling across the street when Han Jue suddenly said, "This Pengci Gang… I've heard a bit about their background."
Xero flattened his lips and looked over to him silently, his expression still indifferent. Is there anything, you of all people, don't know?
"Apparently, members of the Pengci gang are unemployed seventies and eighty year olds. After the nation strictly prohibited street dancing, more and more old people joined the gang!"
"I still remember when the gang was first set up across the country. The cultivation police hadn't done anything then, and there were a bunch of old people. Basically thrill seekers."
Thrill seekers? Hearing this, there was no one that wasn't astounded.
Today, there were a bunch of wild, trouble prone kids who enjoyed extreme sports. Who could have expected that these old people, who should be living like queens and kings in retirement homes would be "thrill seekers"?!
The wild kids of the past had grown to the wild elders of today…
After careful consideration, Xero thought that it could be okay.
Han Jue: "Actually, they don't care about money at all. If they can manage to extort money, they will. If not, then they'll return it. At worst, they would be detained and held in prison for a bit as lesson. It's just that in the last few years, the Pengci gang has been growing at rapid speed, and can almost rival the Shen and Han Family Army! The Longxi Avenue branch seemed to have expanded a little."
"…" The damn dancing in public squares is the cause of this chaos!
At that point, they had already arrived at the start of the street.
Multicolored lights illuminated from street lights. It had everything a student needed essentially. From snack stores, to gaming shops, to even a whole ass supermarket. As long as you had your student ID, you could enjoy more than ninety percent of the street's varieties.
The three schools in this district in fact all had streets like these. But the largest ones was near No. 89 High!
"This is just heaven!" Zhen Jie couldn't contain his excitement.
He had seen a pair of limited edition golden air cushion sneakers online that had been selling in Longxi Avenue, and thought that he could find a design here!
Misaki simply wanted to go for a walk to shape and maintain her elegant figure.
Lianhua was more concerned whether The Great Fujoshi's High School Life was updating in chapters anytime soon.
Xinyan was thinking about illustrating right now…
Eyeing the main road with calm sentient, Han Jue determinedly patted his chest. "Don't worry guys! As long as we don't use transportation, there shouldn't be anything to worry about."
"…"
Xero was a bit uneasy, what kind of red flag was this?!
But almost as Han Jue finished speaking, it was as if Xero could sense the "old lady" air around him.
