Chapter 23: Surging

When Li Fu Si was angry, En Ri Ke was conspiring with someone.

The target of the conspiracy was the girl who had been ardently pursued by En Ri Ke last year, then harmed by Li Fu Si and abandoned, Mi Na Ha Fu Qie Ke.

Initially, Mi Na Ha Fu Qie Ke was about to accept En Ri Ke's pursuit, but during an event of the Newblood Mutual Aid Society, Li Fu Si's desire burned within him, he lost control, and he used means to forcibly abduct Mi Na.

Li Fu Si not only violated Mi Na, but also left behind some "photos" and "videos".

Using this as leverage, Li Fu Si forced Mi Na to accompany him several more times until Mi Na successfully found an opportunity and destroyed those "photos" and "videos".

After a period of self-healing, Mi Na pulled herself together and decided to take revenge on Li Fu Si.

After careful observation and analysis, Mi Na found the common point of the two girls who were later also harmed by Li Fu Si: they, like Mi Na, were blonde and blue-eyed.

Coincidentally, a new batch of Newbloods had arrived, and Mi Na was certain that Li Fu Si would surely target this batch of Newbloods.

The reason is actually simple: Mi Na contacted all the girls from her cohort and Li Fu Si's cohort who matched Li Fu Si's XP, using herself and the other two victims as examples, to expose Li Fu Si's evil to them.

Afterwards, Mi Na also sought out En Ri Ke.

She understood En Ri Ke, knowing that although he appeared brutish on the outside, he was actually deep-minded, fiercely ambitious, and unwilling to be inferior.

After several discussions, Mi Na and En Ri Ke formulated a plan to deal with Li Fu Si.

That is to make Li Fu Si's desire burn within him, suffer backlash from the side effects of the Wrathflame Meditation Method, and thus forever lose the chance to advance to Formal Wizard.

In this way, she would both avenge herself on Li Fu Si, ruin Li Fu Si, and En Ri Ke would have the opportunity to replace Li Fu Si in the position of Vice President of the Newblood Mutual Aid Society, and neither would violate the academy's rules, thus avoiding punishment.

After the plan was set, the two divided tasks and cooperated.

En Ri Ke was responsible for arranging encounters between Li Fu Si and girls matching Li Fu Si's XP, provoking and raising Li Fu Si's desire.

Mi Na, meanwhile, secretly contacted those girls, using the guise of sharing amusing anecdotes from the academy, to reveal Li Fu Si's true nature and dissuade them.

Mo Li Ji De Man was the first girl this semester whom En Ri Ke arranged for Li Fu Si to encounter.

Afterwards occurred what Lin Ke saw as a puzzling "threat," and afterward a "sister" continually sent messages to Mo Li.

"Are you sure doing this will really succeed?"

As the moment approached, with almost everything ready, Mi Na Ha Fu Qie Ke suddenly felt uneasy.

She intuited that something had gone wrong in some step.

Under En Ri Ke's instigation, Li Fu Si arranged for someone to give Lin Ke Ge Lan De a beating tomorrow, to provoke Lin Ke Ge Lan De's anger, and then Mi Na would step in to lead Mo Li Ji De Man to a certain place.

En Ri Ke would tell Li Fu Si that he had already brought Mo Li Ji De Man under his control, and Li Fu Si could enjoy her at any time.

Meanwhile, Mi Na would also guide Lin Ke Ge Lan De to report to the academy and bring him to promptly stop Li Fu Si's atrocities, causing Li Fu Si's unvented desire to backfire on himself.

With the academy's Intelligent Enforcement Puppet present, there was no need to worry about Li Fu Si using violence.

Thus, Li Fu Si would be punished, Mo Li Ji De Man would remain unharmed, and aside from Lin Ke Ge Lan De receiving a beating, everyone would be satisfied.

"Of course."

En Ri Ke nodded, full of confidence, "The complete Wrathflame Meditation Method is a meditation practice only Formal Wizards can cultivate; its requirements are not only an extreme affinity for the fire element, but also exceptionally strong emotional control, or taking a desire-calming potion. Li Fu Si lacks all of these, practicing only an incomplete chapter; as long as we follow the plan, continually stoking his desire without letting him release it, the final result will surely be that he is backlashed by his own desire."

"But what if he loses his reason, and before Lin Ke Ge Lan De arrives with the Intelligent Enforcement Puppet, he forces himself upon her and does something unspeakable?"

Mi Na couldn't help but ask, her true intention being only to revenge Li Fu Si, not wanting others to be harmed.

"Don't worry, if he loses control and goes berserk, I will stop him."

En Ri Ke patted his chest, making a strong promise.

However, what he actually thought was that it would be even better if Li Fu Si made a major mistake and was caught red-handed.

The academy would then administer punishment.

"The Vice President position of the Newblood Mutual Aid Society—once En Ri Ke is promoted, it's settled."

"The one who wants to abolish Li Fu Si is Mi Na Ha Fu Qie Ke, never En Ri Ke."

"All En Ri Ke wants is that position, and the resources and hidden benefits it brings."

"To that end, he does not hesitate to humble himself, becoming Li Fu Si's lackey, just to wait for the crucial moment to strike a vital blow."

"Dealing with a tiger for its skin—this is exactly what Mi Na is doing."

After En Ri Ke left, Mi Na Ha Fu Qie Ke's mood could not settle, she remained anxious.

After several hesitations, the desire for revenge gained the upper hand.

In the end, Mi Na still gave up the idea of fully confessing the truth to Mo Li Ji De Man.

……

The next day.

Early in the morning, Lin Ke went to the Third Botanical Garden.

Consuming more than half of his mental power and magic power, Lin Ke's Secondary Mist Rain Technique moistened all the Silver Star Flower seeds in the greenhouse.

Actually, the normal consumption of the Secondary Mist Rain Technique is not that great.

With Lin Ke's current mental power around 21 and the corresponding magic power his body can hold, he could cast the normal-mode Secondary Mist Rain Technique four times in succession.

But the greenhouse is somewhat large, and the number of seeds sown is also many; the rainfall from the normal-mode Secondary Mist Rain Technique cannot moisten all the seeds.

Lin Ke slightly altered his casting method, choosing to expend a bit more mental power to extend the duration of the Secondary Mist Rain Technique, delivering the rainfall in one go.

Sitting on the ridge, Lin Ke performed a shallow meditation, fully restoring the expended mental power and magic power, before leaving the greenhouse and the Third Botanical Garden.

Today is Sunday, no classes.

Lin Ke headed for the Library, increasing his vigilance along the way, guarding against possible attacks.

The whole way was peaceful.

Approaching the corner, near the Library, several people blocked Lin Ke's path head-on.

They were exactly several Newbloods who had joined the Newblood Mutual Aid Society and possessed Five Grade Aptitude.

Lin Ke was not at all panicked; he smiled and said, "You definitely have to fight?"

Those few exchanged glances, and a Newblood not shorter than Lin Ke spoke up: "Who made you offend the Vice President? Don't worry, we'll just give you a beating; as long as you don't report to the academy, you'll be fine afterward. But if you do report to the academy, there will be even more trouble later."

Lin Ke scanned the few, his face suddenly showing a look of contempt, and he mocked: "Decent people don't do that; you'd rather be dogs! You, who are supposed to be Five Grade Aptitude geniuses, have not a shred of genius's pride, letting others drive you around—it's truly shameful to share a roof with you."

Speaking, Lin Ke raised his left hand and pointed at the one who had stepped forward: "Look closely—this is a Breaking Law Sleeve Crossbow, three bolts. Which three of you want to die? Come give it a try."

Several people looked at each other.

Is that so?
