Chapter 1655: Bruce Wei En and the Philosopher's Stone (Part 6)

~12 min read 2,216 words

"You don't know how annoying he is, always talking about the Wei En family being the richest in the world, and that he is the richest person in the world." Harley cut the fish steak fiercely with a knife and fork, and didn't sigh until the fish was crushed, saying: "What a rude little brat. If it weren't for being in school, I would definitely make him look good."

"Don't be too angry. He is a child of the Wei En family, maybe an illegitimate son of Bruce Wei En. He hasn't appeared in society for so many years, and his rebellious psychology has broken out. It's understandable that he wants to show off to the whole world that he is a Wei En."

Kane slowly separated the green beans on his plate, looked up at the scene across the huge long table, and then said: "If this were really a noble school in ordinary society, someone would indeed hold him up, but this is an Academy of Magic. What's the use of the Wei En family?"

"How is it useless? Don't forget that there is a house here called Wei En House." Harley snorted coldly and said: "Even if Dean Bruce Wei En is not here now, many students will want to hang out with him because he is related to Dean Wei En."

"Are you talking about the few idiots behind him?" Kane raised an eyebrow and looked across the long table again. At this time, two strange faces were sitting on the right side of little Bruce. They didn't look like people from Rodriguez House. From the style of their collars, it could be seen that they were students of Wei En House.

These two students were not big, but they should be in their early tens. In contrast, Wei En, who looked eight or nine years old, was much younger than them. It might also be because his appearance was too cute, so he didn't look that mature.

But it was obvious that these older children were revolving around little Bruce, always looking for topics to talk to him. Little Bruce replied to them arrogantly, and his eyes kept turning to Barry and other freshmen nearby.

"It's also wrong to say that being powerful in ordinary society has no influence in the magical world." Miss Spencer said: "If our family didn't have money, how would we choose to study theory? Similarly, the background of the Wei En family determines that little Wei En can study in the magical world without worry."

"And mages are also human beings, and they always have to return to ordinary society. Getting along well with Wei En will at least be unimpeded in ordinary society. Smart people can see this, and there will be no shortage of people flattering him."

Kane sighed, shook his head and said: "Seriously, with the family education of the Wei En family, it shouldn't be like this. Why did it become like this?"

"I just asked him. His parents died about two years ago, and now only he and a butler are left at home." Harley's hand cutting things paused, but she still put the piece of fish that had been cut into pieces by her into her mouth and said: "I guess his enrollment might also be because he wants to find a way to resurrect his parents, but he actually knows that this is probably difficult to succeed."

"I don't think his behavior is very normal. If he has been stimulated, it makes sense." Miss Spencer looked up at the situation opposite and said: "I can only say good luck to him."

"You idiots and bumpkins elected a prefect without my consent. I really don't know how many tons of water entered your brains. This... what's your name again? Forget it, this Mr. Poor Ghost, do you really think you are their savior?"

Little Bruce showed sarcasm, raised his chin and looked at Barry provocatively. Barry pursed his lips, and while cutting the sausage on the plate, said: "I am very happy that you put yourself in the position of the Demon King as soon as you arrived, but what I want to say is that no one here is afraid of you, because you are alone, and we are all united."

"Heh." Little Bruce raised the corners of his mouth, squeezed a few sarcastic sneers from his throat and said: "Idiots bundled together are still idiots. Poor ghosts huddling together claiming not to be afraid of me, it's really the funniest joke I've heard this year!"

"Whatever you say, I am the prefect now. If you don't listen to me, I will send you to confinement. Mr. Wei En, your backer is not in the academy now."

"Who said he is my backer?!" Little Bruce immediately raised his tone, making his tone a bit sharp. He almost screamed: "There is only one Bruce Wei En in this world, and that is me! Those imposters are idiots like you, and I will make them look good sooner or later!"

Other children certainly couldn't understand what was going on. They only thought that the Bruce Wei En in front of them might be a close relative or illegitimate son of Dean Wei En.

In Europe and America, it is very common for elders and juniors to share the same name. Generally, the junior's name will have a "little" added in front to distinguish it, and some elders' names will have "old" added behind, generally depending on who is more famous.

Now everyone calls this young Bruce Wei En "little Bruce", obviously not recognizing him, otherwise they should call Dean Wei En "old Bruce".

And the performance of this little Bruce was really too much like an illegitimate son who lacked love and wanted to compete with his father, so others didn't take what he said seriously at all.

However, as Miss Spencer said, the name of the Wei En family is too big. There is never a shortage of people who flatter in this world. Some people specifically feel that this arrogant and domineering attitude is the spirit of everyone, treating willfulness as personality, rudeness as attitude, and lack of quality as interesting.

It can only be said that these people often cannot get respect in real society, so they fantasize that they can do whatever they want when they succeed, stepping on everyone else. And when a person of a higher class with such a personality really appears, they feel that it is the ideal version of themselves, so they praise it wildly, and even spend great energy to pursue it.

Although there is no lack of down-to-earth managers among those who choose Wei En House, many of them claim to be social experts. This kind of person promotes the shortcut theory, thinking that others master resources and I master others is equivalent to me mastering resources, treating connections as more important than heaven, commonly known as speculators.

Among this kind of people, the followers with the above symptoms are most likely to appear. Look, little Bruce followed three followers behind him, all older than him, but they almost followed his lead not long after they met.

"The food here is so greasy that it makes me sick." Little Bruce looked down at the chicken skin he had picked out and said with great disgust: "That annoying butler has never made such unpalatable food. The cook here should be dragged out and shot."

"And this house, although big, is empty and messy. The decoration has no taste at all, and this ugly school uniform, I wear it for more than ten hours a day, how is it possible?!"

Barry threw the fork in his hand onto the plate, making a "clatter" sound. Suddenly, all the freshmen eating around stopped their movements, and some even had forks in their mouths, all immediately widened their eyes and looked at the place where the sound came from.

"I warn you, little Bruce Wei En, wearing a school uniform is a mandatory requirement. Our academy has not had any violators who don't wear school uniforms so far. This is our honor. If you dare to break this honor, you are losing face for all of us."

"You actually still have face to lose, don't laugh me to death." Little Bruce also put down the tableware in his hand, hugged his arms and said: "Is it interesting to be driven around like a quail? Oh, God, how could I ask such a stupid question, aren't you like this every day?!"

"No opinion, following the crowd, whatever others say you follow and shout, the things in your brains are greasier than this dish!"

Barry took a deep breath and clenched his fists, but finally let go. He looked at Bruce with the most fierce and cold expression he could make and said: "I don't care what you say, but as long as you dare to violate school rules in behavior, I will definitely send you to confinement. It's useless no matter how many followers you have."

"Then I'm going to change out of my school uniform now, and then go for a walk in the big garden. What do you intend to do?" Little Bruce bared his teeth at Barry, showing a nasty smile, and said: "You are as annoying as that damn butler. You guys continue to fill your greasy brains with this greasy food here. Goodbye!"

After speaking, little Bruce jumped off the chair and landed along the airflow of magic. Before walking out of the auditorium door, he took off his school uniform coat and blocked it on his head. Under the coat, he didn't wear the school uniform lining at all, but still wore the shirt he had inside his suit before.

"He is going to be recorded, and we probably can't escape." Kane sighed with pursed lips, looked at little Bruce's departing figure and said: "The record kept until today is still broken. I hope the professor won't be angry."

"He might not be angry." Harley cut a piece of bread and said while putting it into her mouth: "He can even tolerate that big Bruce Wei En, what's wrong with this one?"

"What do you mean?" Kane asked curiously. He stretched his head over to ask Harley while struggling to cut the shrimp on his plate with a knife and fork. He knew that Harley knew Schiller in reality, so he also wanted to know what kind of person this professor was in private.

Before he came to school, his parents told him to get along well with this professor. Even if he couldn't please him, he must not offend him. But half of the people only heard about this professor's deeds and didn't know the details. Meeting an insider, how could he not ask well?

Miss Spencer and the people from the Lawrence family nearby pricked up their ears. Harley looked very happy because of this extra attention. She smiled triumphantly and said: "You don't know how this professor and his excellent graduate Bruce Wei En have spent these four years. Oh, no, it's more than four years, it's been six years so far."

"Tell us quickly, we are curious."

On the other side, little Bruce, who left the cafeteria in anger, rushed back to the door of the dormitory wearing his school uniform coat. When he stepped on the first step, no raindrops would fall on him. So, he crumpled the school uniform coat into a ball and threw it on the ground with some anger. A follower wearing glasses and looking very gentle behind him hurried to pick it up, hurried to catch up with him, and then said: "Mr. Wei En, there is only one set of school uniforms, and it will not be reissued if lost. You'd better..."

"Who wants to wear such stupid and ugly clothes?" Little Bruce walked forward quickly, looked back with some disgust, and then said: "Don't let me hear you say such stupid things again, otherwise get out!"

"But school rules..."

"What school rules? If I haven't heard of them, they don't exist!"

"Okay, but..." Another person behind him walked up and said: "There is one you must listen to. The second room at the end of the fourth floor of the main castle is very dangerous. You must not go there. If something happens to you, Mr. Wei En will be very sad."

Originally, this was just a routine for these followers to offer flattery. On the one hand, they expressed concern for little Bruce's safety, and on the other hand, they called Dean Wei En "old Wei En" to make little Bruce seem more important than him. These were all methods that this group of wall-grass used very fluently.

But unexpectedly, little Bruce really stopped his steps. His eyes, like sapphires, turned around, and he asked with great interest: "Dangerous? What danger?"

"I don't know, but I heard from the senior who cleans on the fourth floor that there seem to be some very dangerous things stored there. I heard it's the energy core of the magical defense network being built."

"Energy core? What is that?"

"I heard... it's a particularly powerful Philosopher's Stone!" ===== CHAPTER 1656 =====
