Chapter 16

"One, two, three… only fifteen people?" the beautiful teacher murmured, frowning. "Wasn't it said this year's Class One has forty-one students?"

Su Yang recalled—he'd thrown twenty-three people out just now!

"That student, why are the chairs beside you all overturned?" the female teacher said to Su Yang. "Could you please pick them up and arrange them neatly? Thank you!"

"Yes, Teacher!"

Those desks and chairs had been knocked over during the fight.

"All of you others, go help!"

The other students exchanged glances, then stood up to clean up the chaotic back rows.

Of course, none of them dared get close to Su Yang.

The beautiful teacher pulled out a roster and flipped through it, puzzled. "Classmates, the roster says we have forty-one students in Class One—why are there only fifteen here? Did they go to the wrong classroom?"

Screw that—they were thrown out!

They were literally tossed out of the classroom!

All fourteen students turned their gazes toward Su Yang!

At that moment, the classroom door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man with a stern, official face walked in.

Behind him came a group of Class One students, staggering and leaning on each other for support!

These students were both male and female!

That's right!

Even the girls in the class had attacked Su Yang…

Su Yang gave none of those girls any mercy for daring to lay hands on him.

"Director, you must punish Su Yang severely!"

"Su Yang attacked me out of nowhere and threw me out the window!"

"Yes, Director, Su Yang is terrible—he illegally used his pet beast's power inside the classroom!"

"…"

A dozen Class One students clamored, filing complaints against Su Yang!

Behind those Class One students stood students from other classes, apparently here to watch the spectacle.

The beautiful teacher immediately asked the middle-aged man: "Director, what's going on?"

The director said: "Teacher Li Meng, I'm here for Su Yang!"

Teacher Li Meng asked: "Is Su Yang in our Class One? What did he do?"

"He fought," the director said grimly.

Li Meng asked casually: "Who did he fight?"

The director turned his head. Li Meng followed his gaze—and saw a sea of dark, bruised faces.

Among those students, many had black eyes and swollen faces, swaying unsteadily; even the slightly better-off were covered in dust—they clearly had been beaten!

"Director, how many people did Su Yang… fight?"

The director's expression grew awkward. "It seems… just one person."

Li Meng frowned. "One person beat all of them?"

Teacher Li Meng didn't know—she had just sprinkled salt into the wounds of twenty-three Class One students.

The Class One students lowered their heads in silence.

Suddenly, they felt ashamed—over twenty of them, beaten by one person.

It was truly dishonorable.

It was so humiliating.

Li Meng called out: "Who is Su Yang?"

"It's me, Teacher!"

Su Yang stepped forward.

Li Meng asked: "Did you beat them?"

"Yes, I did," Su Yang admitted, then added, "But they attacked me first—I was defending myself. Do you think I'd randomly provoke so many people for no reason?"

Li Meng nodded, adjusted her glasses with her index finger, and her slightly blurry eyes instantly sharpened into serpent pupils.

"From the energy fluctuations, at least ten people in the classroom used their pet beast's power… meaning, Su Yang wasn't the only one who broke the rules!"

The beaten Class One students immediately grew unhappy.

They felt Li Meng was siding with Su Yang.

Class One students all had pet beasts with at least Silver potential; their backgrounds were no small matter, and their tempers were naturally sharp—especially when gathered together!

"Teacher, don't favor Su Yang—my grandfather works in the Qixing City Logistics and Armaments Department!"

"Same here—my father's with the Black Wolf Hunting Squad!"

"My mother works at Qixing City's Number One Hospital!"

"Director, tell her!"

"…"

The director looked at Li Meng. Li Meng's golden pupils narrowed, sweeping over the Class One students outside, then at Su Yang, before she smiled coldly with mockery.

"Director, let's do this: Su Yang did fight—that's wrong. As Class One's homeroom teacher, I won't shield him!"

Hearing this, the twenty-odd Class One students who'd been beaten smirked at Su Yang.

The boy who'd provoked Su Yang first even gave him a throat-slitting salute!

His attitude was utterly arrogant!

Li Meng continued: "But Su Yang didn't cause any permanent injuries—only minor wounds. Since the opening ceremony is coming up soon, let's follow school policy: issue him a school-wide serious warning, and make him deliver a self-criticism speech in front of the entire school. How's that?"

The head of instruction paused briefly, then nodded and said, "This does comply with school regulations. It's settled—he must apologize to the students he beat up!"

"Haha, Su Yang, now it's your turn to suffer!"

"Serves you right!"

"I'm going to use my video camera to record your confession!"

"…"

The more than twenty students whom Su Yang had beaten heard that Su Yang was to be punished… and all became excited!

Only the most beautiful girl sitting in the front row of the classroom couldn't help covering her forehead!

The girl sitting beside her asked, "Zhang Ruolin, what's wrong?"

Zhang Ruolin whispered, "Do these fools really think forcing Su Yang to make a public confession is humiliating him?"

Zhang Ruolin stared at Teacher Li Meng, who had slipped back into her dazed state on the podium, silently repeating in her mind: Pink to Black! Pink to Black! Pink to Black!
