Ninth class citizen

Chapter 333 I Want to Complain
“We didn’t mean that.” Tafa stepped forward, shielding Nan Rong behind him. “What happened today was just a misunderstanding. There’s no need to make such a big deal out of it. If Captain Jiang can reduce the punishment appropriately, then both Senior Enski and I personally will be grateful for your magnanimity.”

Jiang Cheng curled his lip: "Since you've chosen to stand with her through thick and thin, then don't blame me for being ruthless. As for Senior Enski, I'll handle that."

As he spoke, the wind and clouds surged in front of the library, and endless lightning mixed with blazing white flames slammed down fiercely towards the energy barrier.

Thunder rumbled and flames roared, but that was before they struck.

Once they came into contact with the semi-circular energy barrier below, they were all silently annihilated.

One, two, three... hundreds of strikes were made in succession until Jiang Cheng's face turned from blue to black, but the energy barrier showed no signs of thinning; on the contrary, it seemed to have become even thicker.

As the thunder and fire subsided, Jiang Cheng stared straight at Nan Rong, his voice escaping from between his teeth, each word carefully chosen:
"Fine!" he said. "Using evil magic to assassinate teachers, ignoring academy rules to spy on advanced information, and now you've added violent resistance to the law to your list—do you really think you can act with impunity just because of your abilities? Let me tell you, this is the Cosmic Heritage Academy! Not a place for you to run wild! Although I may not be able to handle you, there are plenty of people who can deal with you!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than two men dressed in long robes suddenly appeared in the room.

Apart from Nan Rong and the other three, everyone present bowed and greeted, "Greetings, Instructor Zhou! Greetings, Elder Mu!"

"No need for formalities," said Instructor Zhou, dressed in a silver robe.

He immediately spotted Nan Rong in the arena, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He was in a great mood today, so he took the time to visit the college committee. The acting dean listened to a lot of reports and complaints. Just as he was about to leave, he heard that someone was causing trouble in the library.

It was said that they were a few freshmen, yet they were able to go toe-to-toe with the law enforcement team, and even Jiang Cheng, who was wielding the high-level spiritual weapon Star-Splitting Lightning Whip, could not do anything to them—which piqued his interest.

Unexpectedly, I saw Nan Rong.

If it were her, it wouldn't be surprising at all.

The teaching materials were personally selected by the dean, so they are definitely not comparable to the basic materials used by ordinary students.

Moreover, no one knew better than him how much potential Nan Rong's body possessed.

Elder Mu, dressed in black robes and in charge of the academy's Enforcement Pavilion, was the direct leader of the enforcement team. His gaze towards Nan Rong and the others was now filled with cold disgust.
He shifted his gaze back to the person bowing and unable to stand, and said calmly, "You can't even handle a few freshmen causing trouble. You've disappointed me greatly."

These words contained a golden and precious meaning, which shocked people and made them tremble. Jiang Cheng, who was the first to be affected, turned ashen-faced and had a few drops of blood on his lips.

Behind him, the law enforcement officers were also affected, their faces pale and swaying precariously.

Elder Mu ignored them and casually raised his hand, gently pressing down in the direction of Nan Rong and the others.

As a powerful being, the pressure emanating from his mere gestures was far greater than when Jiang Cheng had launched his full-force attack.

The three women, including Catwoman, wore expressions of despair, yet they couldn't utter a single word.

Nan Rong also felt the pressure. The energy barrier she was struggling to maintain was barely holding on, like a balloon that had been compressed to its limit, just a little bit away from bursting completely.

It was just a hair's breadth away, but it just wouldn't break. Nan Rong smiled slightly and said, "Elder Mu, I've finally waited for you. I want to file a complaint against Jiang Cheng, the captain of the enforcement team, for disregarding the academy rules, abusing his power, ignoring the facts, and using excessive force. Please uphold justice for us new students!"

Elder Mu:
Coach Zhou:
Jiang Cheng:.
A group of students who were just watching the show:
Finally, it was the librarian who broke the silence.

The old man rushed out, first bowing to Instructor Zhou and Elder Mu again, then pointing at Nan Rong and embellishing the story of what had just happened.

She even shed tears when talking about the things she felt wronged about.

"That's the truth, what else do you have to say?" Elder Mu's face was ashen.

“I have three questions.” Nan Rong’s dark eyes were full of innocence: “First: Which rule of the academy stipulates that new students cannot borrow advanced materials?”

"It's always been like this!" the old man said angrily. "It was like this even before I took over as librarian ten thousand years ago!"

"I'm not asking about the usual rules, but the specific regulations." As Nan Rong spoke, he waved his right hand, and a towering light screen appeared in front of everyone, with lines of large characters scrolling endlessly on it. It displayed the ninety-nine college rules that were pinned to the top of the notice board inside the badge.

She had suffered a similar loss at Xiluoxinghua before, so when she returned to her dormitory last night, the first thing she did was to carefully read through the entire set of college rules.

Compared to the more than 3,000 rules of Xiluoxinghua, the Cosmic Heritage Academy's only 99 rules are concise and clear, and the corresponding penalties are also quite clear. I never expected them to come in handy today.

"Only Article 73 of the school regulations mentions library borrowing matters," she said, pointing to the words on the screen.

"All students may read and transcribe books in the library's collection free of charge, but they must do so within their means and must not forcibly borrow books far beyond their capacity to avoid repercussions. Furthermore, students must take good care of borrowed books and must not damage, destroy, or steal original copies, nor engage in fighting or disorderly conduct within the library. Violators will be punished."

As soon as these lines of text appeared, the scene fell silent once again.

To be honest, although the college only has ninety-nine rules, not many people are willing to read them all from beginning to end.

Moreover, after so many years of implementation, countless implicit rules have been added but not put into practice. A previous law enforcement elder even wanted to revise the school rules, for example, the rule of respecting teachers led to hundreds of specific rules and so on.

As a result, the new school rules, which had more than 5,000 articles, passed the review of the college committee, but were torn up by the dean without saying a word.

The law enforcement elder, who was determined to achieve something that would be remembered in the school's history, died in despair after being dismissed from his post.

But things are different now. With more and more new students, more and more problems have arisen, and many of the seemingly ambiguous rules in the original school regulations are not easy to implement.

But having learned from past mistakes, no one thought of adding any new rules to the academy. They simply followed the established customs and no one raised any objections for tens of thousands of years. They never expected to encounter such a headstrong person as Nan Rong today.

He's also a dogmatist who will meticulously compare the college rules word for word.

The college administrator looked at Elder Mu with a wronged expression: "You know that the reason I don't allow freshmen to borrow advanced materials is for their own good."

Nan Rong, however, would not tolerate such a evasive approach.

"So, according to Rule 73 of the school rules—my charge of illegally accessing classified information—is it still valid?"
