114 School Bully
After dropping Yuna off at her classroom, Yun Ling could clearly feel Kiana staring at him more often.
She'd be staring at him for at least twenty minutes per class.
Kiana's mental defenses had indeed crumbled yesterday.
Her thoughts were surprisingly similar to Mei's. If she had lost to Mei, she might have been able to accept it.
But losing to someone she'd never met who had bravely confessed...
Then Yun Ling, that bastard, deserved to die.
Just because a girl confesses doesn't mean he has to accept it, right? What else could the reason be but lust?
And so, Yun Ling was stared at for two classes.
At the end of the second class, Yun Ling glanced at his phone and immediately ran out.
『Oh dear, let me guess, he's probably itching to go find his girlfriend, right?』
『Tsk tsk tsk, look at you, looking like a defeated stray dog.』
『How about this, you give me your body, and I'll kill that girl named Asaka Yuna for you?』
"Do you think I'm as stupid as you?" Kiana rolled her eyes.
Even a three-year-old wouldn't fall for this trick.
『...Hmph.』
Even the Queen was a little angry after being scolded by Kiana.
Kiana suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach and ran towards the restroom.
However, in the restroom, she found someone she never expected.
"Yun Ling?! What are you doing in the women's restroom?! Has your perverted desire swelled to this extent?!" Kiana never expected Yun Ling to be here.
"Helping Yuna deal with a few annoying guys." Yun Ling's face showed no shame.
Kiana then noticed that several young girls were blocking the entrance to a restroom.
"You're this girl's boyfriend? I knew it! She came in today grinning like she's in heat; it was disgusting."
The punk girl spat, completely unfazed by Yun Ling's arrival.
"Yeah, my girlfriend's terrified of dogs. Please stay away from her in the future," Yun Ling nodded.
"What? You dare insult me?! Do you know who I am?!" The punk girls immediately sneered.
"Why do I need to know a dog? Are you Hachiko? Are you that famous?" Yun Ling tilted his head.
The punk girls blushed instantly and started calling for backup.
Yun Ling ignored them and walked over to gently knock on the cubicle where Yuna was.
"Yuna, it's me."
The cubicle door opened instantly, and Yuna threw herself at Yun Ling, tears still glistening in her eyes, her swollen, red eyes a pitiful sight.
Yun Ling gently patted her back, trying to soothe her.
Kiana, witnessing the scene before her, felt her anger subside considerably.
Perhaps... Yun Ling only agreed to be with her to help her?
Soon, a group of people gathered in the girls' restroom.
A familiar scene unfolded.
"I know you, Yun Ling, right?" The school bully, leading the group, recognized Yun Ling.
"I heard you know Shenzhou martial arts? You taught Kento Hanazawa and the others a lesson."
"Are you helping them get revenge?" Yun Ling retorted.
The person he mentioned was probably the boyfriend of the hot girl in Yun Ling's class; he had become much more subdued after being taught a lesson.
"No, no, no, I never got along with them anyway. I should thank you for eliminating them." The school bully shook his head.
"But one thing at a time. You called my girlfriend a dog. How are you going to settle this?"
"Then I'll call you one too. Perfect, you two can be a pair of adulterers." Seeing the other party's hostile intentions, Yun Ling wasn't going to tolerate him.
"...Hahaha, that's arrogant enough, I like it. Want to be my subordinate?" The school bully paused for a moment, then burst into loud laughter.
"Get lost, don't block the way," Yun Ling shooed him away.
"Okay, you've got guts. See you on the rooftop at noon, don't you dare not show up." The school bully patted his shoulder, making way for him.
Yun Ling brushed his shoulder with the back of his hand, as if there was something dirty on it.
The school bully didn't care; instead, he was even more fond of Yun Ling.
"Yun...Yun Ling...I'm sorry...I..." Yuna was almost crying.
"It's okay, I promised you I'd help you, didn't I?" Yun Ling wiped away her tears.
"Trust me, I'm very capable." Yun Ling blinked.
"Okay." Yuno finally nodded.
She would listen to Yun Ling; she had promised him that, too.
"Hey, do you need help?" Kiana asked tentatively.
"No need," Yun Ling said nonchalantly.
"I've at least comprehended 'Divine Essence,' so be it. Hitting them would be bullying them."
"Thank you anyway."
"Hmph..." Kiana blushed and turned her head away.
After escorting Yuna back to the classroom, Kiana suddenly grabbed Yun Ling's arm.
"?" Yun Ling looked at her in confusion.
"You... you started dating her to protect her?" Kiana asked.
"Hmm...guess?" Yun Ling gave her a meaningful look.
"Guess my foot! Riddler, don't run away!"
Kiana and Yun Ling's relationship returned to normal.
At noon, the rooftop, a place where many people usually enjoy lunch, was scared away by a huge crowd.
However, some people were just enjoying the show, eating while watching the spectacle.
Yun Ling brought Kiana, Mei, and Yuna to the rooftop for lunch.
"Are...are you really okay? Should I go call the teacher..."
Yuna's legs were trembling at the sight of the crowd.
"Just focus on your food, it'll be resolved soon." Yun Ling patted her head.
The school bully's eyes lit up when he saw Yun Ling. As expected of someone he had chosen, his courage alone far surpassed that of his peers.
"Don't say I lack martial ethics. I'll give you time to call for backup," the school bully said, seeing Yun Ling arrive alone.
"I don't know many people in this school. Hurry up and fight, I'm in a rush to eat," Yun Ling said, placing his right hand in front of him, assuming the 'Sword-Drawing Form' hand gesture.
"Then don't blame us for ganging up on you! Attack!" the bully shouted, and a group of people swarmed him.
Yun Ling used his palm as a sword, handling the attack of over twenty people with ease.
He easily dealt with several of the first attackers. Seeing Yun Ling's ferocity, those attackers stopped holding back.
A baseball bat came crashing down on his head, but the next second, Yun Ling's palm actually split the baseball bat in two.
Then his fist slammed into the wielder's face.
Some even wielded the 'Holy Sword of Physics,' but they couldn't withstand Yun Ling's palm either, being easily sliced open.
Seeing that Yun Ling could even cut through steel, everyone was stunned.
But they didn't even have time to react, not even time to feel fear, before their bodies were sent flying.
The school bully wasn't spared either, getting two hard punches to the face from Yun Ling, knocking out several teeth.
"B-Big Brother...I surrender...I surrender..." the bully stammered, begging for mercy.
"Get out of here, you're just getting in the way." Yun Ling flicked his wrist and walked towards the three.
The school bully and his henchmen dragged their group away in a sorry state.
Yun Ling's feat of taking on twenty people at once spread among the students, and from then on, Yun Ling became the new school bully of 'Chiba Academy'.
