Chapter 229 I Need to Find Your Principal

Chapter 229 I need to find your principal!

The rain stopped for about twenty minutes in the middle of the day, but suddenly started pouring again just before the end of get out of class.

The rhythmic music began to play; it was the school bell ringing, and also the chorus of the Valenbato school song.

Many students poured out of the classrooms in the teaching area. Those who were relatively wealthy and owned smart flying cars went directly into the cars that were already parked there, without having to get wet in the rain. Some were met by others, while others were waiting for the school bus.

Several noble students came out together and boarded an incredibly flashy flying car. Then, with a whoosh, they made a 180-degree turn on the spot, splashing the dripping rainwater onto the others beside them.

The people who were laughing and driving away were followed by the rest of the people who pointed at the departing car and cursed loudly.

Chang Xiaosi and Chang Fu were doing their homework in the classroom. Since it was raining heavily outside and they hadn't brought an umbrella, they decided to wait until the rain subsided before going out. This way, they could save money on the school bus fare.

Next to Chang Xiaosi, Chang Xiaosan and Chang Xiaoxiao were reading a book. It was a book she had borrowed from the school library yesterday, which described the main features of the various star regions of the Lansa Empire.

Chang Xiaosan and Chang Xiaosi are twins, but their personalities are very different. Chang Xiaosan is always smiling, just like her name suggests, but Chang Xiaosi rarely smiles and is always indifferent to a few people she is very close to.

The two were busy when a girl walked over. Judging from her clothes, she came from a well-off family.

"Changfu, I have an extra umbrella, you can borrow it." With that, the girl placed a double-layered folding umbrella on Changfu's table. When unfolded, the umbrella was about three meters wide, enough for Changfu and Changxiao to use.

Before Chang Fu could refuse, another sharp voice rang out: "Oh, trying to curry favor again, huh? I say, Lunani, you're supposed to be a noblewoman, yet you do something so presumptuous and disgraceful to us nobles!"

The speaker was also a girl, similar to Lunani, dressed very elegantly, with shiny chains around her neck and wrists.

Chang Xiao closed the book, glanced at Chang Fu who was frowning and looking impatient, and sighed. What a guy with such low emotional intelligence. She always had to step in to mediate.

Chang Xiao, who was about to say something, was attracted by a cat's meow. How could there be a cat in the classroom? Especially on a rainy day?

  

Chang Xiao looked in the direction of the sound and saw a gray cat crouching on the windowsill, staring at the two of them with its round eyes.

"Snoring!!" Chang Xiao exclaimed in surprise.

I've seen the gray cat before when Chang Xiao and Chang Fu were video chatting at home.

Upon seeing the gray cat, even the usually taciturn Ci Changfu showed a slight smile.

If Huru is here, then that means Xilin is here too!

After closing the book and quickly packing his things, Chang Xiao thanked Lunan and left with Chang Fu.

Outside the teaching building, Xilin and Peter were standing there holding umbrellas. When they saw Changxiao and Changfu, Xilin waved for them to come over.

"Brother Xilin, when did you arrive?" Chang Xiao asked.

"I came over at noon today."

Taking the bag from Chang Xiao, Xi Lin unfolded the second layer of the umbrella to increase the coverage. Xi Lin and Chang Xiao shared one umbrella, while Peter and Chang Fu shared another. Peter, however, was quite talkative, chattering non-stop on the way to Chang Fu's dormitory, from the fight they witnessed upon entering the school gate to their frog-catching trip to the lotus pond.

Watching Chang Xiao and Chang Fu leave, Lunan stood at the edge of the corridor and waved her hand. A pink flying car flew over, and Lunan jumped into the car. Then, she controlled the car to drift and splash all the rainwater onto Shara Lisa, who had just made sarcastic remarks.

"You! Lunani, you just wait!!"

Sharapova stomped her foot, got into her own bright red flying car, and perhaps because she was too angry, she lost control and collided with another flying car next to her, causing another commotion. However, such things were probably commonplace, and the two parties left while exchanging insults.

Chang Xiao and Chang Fu's dormitories are not far apart, but now everyone goes directly to Chang Fu's dormitory to roast frogs.

The dormitories here are all four-person rooms, each with four bedrooms and a living room, and each person has a 15-square-meter bedroom. Accommodation fees are waived; the top 100 students receive full tuition and accommodation waivers. However, it's generally the students from ordinary families who live here, while the students from wealthy families prefer single apartments and would rather pay higher rents than live with ordinary students.

Some people had already returned to the dormitory. There was a swishing sound coming from the bathroom. Hearing someone return, the bathroom door opened, and the boy was about to jump out completely naked. Luckily, he reacted quickly and stopped halfway out when he saw the stranger and the girl.

"...Hehe, so it's Chang Xiao..." the child said somewhat awkwardly. Everyone knew about Chang Fu's twin sister.

Chang Xiao rolled her eyes at him; she knew Chang Fu's roommates' personalities quite well.

"His name is Nakut, he's in the same grade, and he's my roommate," Chang Fu introduced simply.

After saying hello, Nakut went back inside to continue showering.

"It's good." Seeing Chang Fu and the others, Xi Lin was reminded of his time in Qi Yao. Sigh, he really misses it!

Peter didn't think too much about it. After entering the house, he ran to the kitchen to rummage through things and finally dragged a dusty, simple grill out from under the treasury. After washing it, he couldn't wait to start processing the frog.

Xilin watched Peter's skillful skinning movements but didn't go up to help; the guy could handle it all by himself.

While Peter was dealing with the frogs, Xilin called Chang Xiao and Chang Fu into the room, gave them the card containing 100,000 Lansa coins that he had handed over to Old Man Chang, and explained the current situation of the shop.

"There are 100,000 Lansa coins in this card. The conditions at the shop are much better now, and the standard of living has improved a lot. You don't need to be too frugal. You're at the age where you're growing, and you can't go hungry. If you lack nutrition, your physique won't keep up, and your overall assessment won't be good either, right?"

After talking for a while, Xilin came out. The main purpose of this trip was to give them the cards, and the new identity documents were also handed over to the two of them.

As soon as Xilin stepped out of the room, he saw Peter and the boy named Nakut squatting beside the grill, busy at work. Peter was sharing his experience: "The more primitive the grill for roasting frogs, the better. Those enclosed automatic grills just don't taste as good. As for eating this stuff..."

Xilin shook his head; you can find foodies like that everywhere.

Seeing Chang Fu and the others come out, Nakut turned around and said, "By the way, Lu Jie said he'd bring us food back. Should we tell him not to?"

Lu Jie was their roommate. As soon as get out of class ended, he would drag a few people along to the cafeteria.

Chang Fu nodded: "I'll talk to him."

Chang Fu took out his communicator and dialed Lu Jie's number, but it didn't connect for a long time. Chang Fu dialed it again, and this time it connected, but the person on the other end wasn't Lu Jie, but someone from another dormitory who was close to Lu Jie.

Before he could say two words, the communicator disconnected again, but the video that popped up on the communicator showed the scene on the other side—a complete mess!

"Are you fighting again?" Chang Xiao asked.

"No, something must have happened." Chang Fu dialed the number several more times, but still no one answered. He grabbed an umbrella and walked out. "I'll go check out the cafeteria first."

"Hey, Xiao Si!" Chang Xiao saw Chang Fu run off without looking back, then turned to Xi Lin and said, "Brother Xi Lin, I'll go take a look too."

"Okay, let's go together." Xilin took the umbrella and walked out with Chang Xiao.

"Wait for me! Hey kid, you stay here and roast frogs. Be careful not to burn them. If you burn one, go to the lotus pond and catch another to make up for it!" Peter poked Nakut's forehead and said.

Nakut wanted to cry. Lotus Pond... it's so far away from here.

There are several canteens in the school, but Lu Jie and his friends usually prefer the one closest to the training field because it has the most meat and the largest portions.

Before Chang Fu even got close to the canteen, he saw a large group of people shouting and yelling in the distance at the training field, creating chaos in the heavy rain.

They've really started fighting again!

Chang Fu rushed over, and Lu Jie and his group were easy to find because they usually led the charge when a fight broke out. However, Chang Fu searched for a long time but couldn't find anyone.

He grabbed one of the students and asked him a question. This student, also from a commoner family, was now in a rage. "These damn nobles! They injured Lu Jie and Tai Tu! They've gone too far! Let's fight them!"

As he spoke, the child rushed back into the fray and engaged in fierce combat.

Injured? Seriously injured?

With Lu Jie and Tai Tu's abilities, they are outstanding in the school, especially Tai Tu, a fourth-year student who has consistently ranked in the top three in overall grades and has outstanding individual combat strength. Chang Fu has never heard of Tai Tu being seriously injured. If that's the case, this fight is no longer a minor skirmish.

Just as Chang Fu was searching for Lu Jie and Tai Tu, his communicator rang.

"Changfu, don't get involved! This is serious, get out of there right now!"

It was Lunani; after all, she was a noble of a decent rank and knew quite a bit about certain things. However, Chang Fu ignored her warning; he had already seen Lu Jie.

He pushed his way through the chaotic crowd, having already taken several punches in that short time, but just now, he saw a glint of cold light.

You know, to avoid causing too much damage, neither side usually uses lethal weapons when they fight. But Chang Fu definitely saw that flash of cold light just now. And Chang Fu is very sensitive to sound; the sound of a knife cutting through raindrops, the sound of something striking flesh—there's no mistaking it for a knife! Someone actually broke the rules!

Lu Jie and Tai Tu lay on the ground, their injuries not outwardly visible, but they were extremely weak and had no strength to stand up. Even the slightest movement was painful, and every drop of rain felt like a heavy hammer blow.

"Lu Jie, Tai Tu, how are you...?"

"Chang Fu, watch out!"

Following Lu Jie's prompting, Chang Fu dodged to the side and leaped several times, moving away from his original spot. Just moments before, a chill had brushed past his clothes. Chang Fu knew without looking that his clothes had been torn at the back.

But before Chang Fu could even catch his breath, the cold light shot straight at him. It was too fast, and Chang Fu felt his movements become much slower. Compared to that cold light, he simply didn't have time to react. If the opponent's move before was just a casual strike, this was a kill-or-die attack. If this strike landed, Chang Fu would definitely be in even worse shape than Lu Jie and Tai Tu.

The sound of a blade snapping rang out.

Before the knife could strike Chang Fu, Xi Lin snapped the blade with his fingers, then grabbed the man's neck and slammed him to the ground.

"I had no idea that adults had to get involved and be so ruthless in children's battles?"

As Xilin spoke, the body of the person who had been choked and slammed to the ground slowly elongated. With a series of cracking sounds from the bones, the person who had originally looked about the same size as Chang Fu and the others had stretched into a strong adult man.

"Damn it, they're cheating!!" Now Lu Jie and Tai Tu finally realized why something was wrong. They had initially thought these people were unfamiliar faces, but their skills were exceptional, far superior to their own. They assumed they were just newly recruited experts from the nobles' side. But they never expected these bastards to have found outside help!

Seeing their companion fall to the ground and revert to his original form, another person rushed out of the battle circle and headed towards Xilin.

"You fucking..."

Before the man could finish speaking, he was kicked away by Peter who rushed over, splashing water as he landed on the ground.

Reopening the umbrella, with one hand in his pocket, Peter said slowly, "What scum! You've disgraced the nobility! Even your cheating is so shoddy; you're utterly useless." Compared to the methods of the Three Musketeers of the Three Wanderers, these people are truly pathetic!

Xilin curled his lip, "This guy's trying to act cool!"

The sharp, cracking sound drew the attention of many people.

Xilin threw down the shattered pieces of the blade he was holding. "Anyone who moves again will end up like this knife."

Some people tried to slip away, but before they could even take a step, Xilin slammed them to the ground.

No one dared to move again. Xilin's movements were too fast. He was just over there, and the next moment he was in another place. Everyone was knowledgeable and knew that this was the difference in skill. Their eyes couldn't keep up with Xilin's movements, and they couldn't even perceive the phenomenon of visual persistence.

A flying car flew over and landed. A middle-aged man with a protruding belly stepped out, looking surprised, and asked, "Hey, what's going on?! Who are you two? This is Valenbato School. Who are you? Where did you come from? This isn't a place just anyone can come in. Are you two from some lousy high school around here? Don't bother the students of Valenbato!"

"Tch, so he's the deputy director of teaching affairs," someone said sourly, emphasizing the word "deputy" in the middle.

"All the lackeys of the nobility are cut from the same cloth!"

"Trash! What a load of crap, ptooey!"

The ordinary students looked down on this deputy director of teaching affairs, giving him no friendly looks.

"Master, these two thugs are from who-knows-where, probably from those lousy high schools."

"Or perhaps they didn't even attend college."

The noble students scoffed. They were always fearless, and even though they had broken the rules first, they were nobles and entitled to privileges. Did these commoners really think they were future members of the Royal Academy of Sciences just because the school gave them some face? Commoners are commoners! They deserve to die!

The deputy director of studies, under accusations from several noble students, approached Xilin and Peter, about to say something. But seeing Xilin lift the man from the ground and slam him down again, he swallowed hard and kept quiet.

He always felt insecure in front of Xilin and Peter. The situation became tense for a moment. The nobles remained silent, unwilling to be the first to speak up.

After the deputy director of academic affairs arrived, the campus security guards finally made their belated appearance. Seeing the guards rushing over, the deputy director of academic affairs felt much more dignified, pointing a fleshy, alcohol-soaked finger at Peter, who was sitting there trying to look cool, and said, "You, I'm talking to you, you have no manners, standing there like a complete idiot, obviously uneducated..."

The deputy director of teaching adopted his usual style of reprimanding students and began lecturing Peter. It was clear he was deliberately provoking Peter, who was standing there looking cool, because he thought Xilin was someone to be trifled with.

Xilin sighed inwardly; this deputy director's days were numbered. You think he's some kind of undignified prince of the Fiery Eagle royal family who's uneducated? Even if he's unruly and irresponsible, it's none of your business to speak. The Fire Eagle King hasn't even bothered with him, so what right do you have to say anything?

Peter remained standing there, listening to the vice-director of education's lecture, and he smiled.

"You ask who I am? I don't change my name or surname. I was just about to eat a frog."

Everyone: "..."

So cold.

What's the connection between "I will not change my name or surname" and "I was just about to eat a frog"? Besides, who cares whether you just ate a frog, a chicken egg, or a duck egg these days?

Seeing that the deputy director of teaching was still going on, Xilin sat directly on the back of the person lying on the ground and kicked the restless person's foot, "Behave yourself."

Upon hearing Xilin's words, the man froze, too afraid to move. Others might not know why, but he knew perfectly well that the person sitting on his back, though young, exuded such an imposing aura that he dared not move for a moment, obediently being held down.

Murderous intent? Not quite, but something even more terrifying than murderous intent. He couldn't quite explain why, but he just felt incredibly intimidated. Like a gun hidden behind a fog; you never knew where he would be, where he would be, or when he would bring you into his sights. He couldn't afford to offend nobles, but he wanted to avoid this person even more. Therefore, the wisest course of action now was to feign unconsciousness.

The deputy director was trembling with anger as he looked at Peter. Whatever you asked, he'd give a completely nonsensical answer, yet he always looked so sincere, as if he were telling the truth.

"You...you...which school are you from?! I'm going to find your school's principal and teachers. How exactly do they educate their students?!"

"I'm afraid you're not qualified."

"Let me tell you, I know all the principals of the top ten schools!" The vice-principal of teaching was quite proud of this.
