Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 6: Humiliation
When Tang Xiu arrived at the classroom, most of his classmates were engrossed in studying because they were plowing page after page of paper last year, while one full hand of them read aloud their textbook. A tense atmosphere filled the entire classroom.
Since the final year examination was only three months away, the master class teachers and their subject teachers emphasized the importance of the exam this time and again. With wave after wave of weekly and monthly tests given to third-year students, this group of seventeen-year-old youths could not help but feel nervous.
Seeing the attractive countdown numbers for the final year exam on the board and all of her classmates studying intensely, Tang Xiu felt that she was no match for this world.
“Because I'm here just to fulfill my mother's wish and not here to really learn, I don't need to care too much about my surroundings.” Tang Xiu quickly withdrew his gaze as he walked to his desk.
What Tang Xiu did not expect was that when he stepped into the classroom, all of his classmates who were originally busy doing revisions stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Tang Xiu.
The appearance was filled with insults, scorn, humiliation and hatred that Tang Xiu could not explain.
“Tang Xiu, we don't welcome you here, come out!” Suddenly, a tall and skinny young man with a face full of contempt pointed his finger and ordered Tang Xiu with a voice like a broken gong that echoed throughout the classroom. (TLN: gong \= metal disc with a turn rim, like a large round disc that produces a sound like “gong” when you hit it, as you saw in a historical show of China)
Sensing the strong hostility coming out from his tall and thin body, Tang Xiu's gaze turned cold as killing intent emerged from his body.
His tall and thin classmate was named Yang Jian and he was a member of the class revision committee. He had always been against Tang Xiu because he hated Tang Xiu for scoring better than him during the entrance exam, and as Tang Xiu's academic performance deteriorated, Yang Jian took the opportunity to ridicule and suppress him.
“Tang Xiu, we don't welcome you here, come out!”
“Tang Xiu, we don't welcome you here, come out!”
“Tang Xiu, we don't welcome you here, come out!”
Before Tang Xiu had a chance to question Yang Jian, a commotion reverberated throughout the classroom as wave after wave of dangerously loud screams caused Tang Xiu to freeze for a moment while still at the entrance.
Just when he wanted to clarify exactly what was going on, the loud “dentang” voice echoed throughout the classroom. When Tang Xiu turned his head, he saw a fat man in the last row had smashed his chair onto the table.
The power that the fat used was too great that the classroom trembled slightly. After a loud noise broke out, the commotion suddenly stopped and the classroom became silent as the classmates who were actively hitting Tang Xiu looked as if they were strangled by the neck.
“The value is only Tang Xiu who is a little poorer and not his intention to be like this, is there a need to fight him?”
“Tang Xiu is my and I've seen him make a lot of effort in the past year. I dare say that Tang Xiu was the most diligent in his studies of everyone here, if not for the car accident one year ago all of you here would not even have the chance to be able to chase after his silhouette, so what qualifications do you all have to denounce him. ”
“Despite this, so what if Tang Xiu's grades weren't good, it wasn't like whatever you all thought was important, he could come and go whenever he wanted to be your business!” The fatty angrily defended Tang Xiu after seeing that everyone was staring at him.
Fatty is very plump and has a height of more than 1.8 meters, his stomach is so round that it looks like a woman who is pregnant for 10 months, and her already small eyes were compressed by the fat on her face which made her look like a straight line, unable to see her eyeballs.
Perhaps his fat stature had exerted great pressure on everyone or his ruthless appearance was too frightening, as the entire class was shocked by him.
“Yuan ChuLing, what right do you have to be so arrogant? The reason why our grade point average was the last in the cohort was because you two were disappointing. As the saying goes, a piece of rat shit spoils an entire pot of porridge, further down the class we have two rat droppings, that's why it's hard to raise our average value even if we want to. ”Yang Jian replied back without confidence after being silent for a very long time
“Yang Jian, which is rat shit, I dare you say it again!” With a “dentang” sound, Yuan ChuLing kicked the table and glared at Yang Jian with her eyes that seemed to want to devour him as he yelled back.
Yuan ChuLing's actions had frightened Yang Jian as his face turned pale and avoided eye contact with Yang ChuLing.
” Yang Jian, that's not what I want to choose on you but even if your grades are very good, useless bastard like you will only be destined to work for others after you step into society, and you really think that you are great just because your grades are good. If I'm your grandfather wants to deal with you then it's just raising one finger to Me. “Seeing Yang Jian had admitted defeat, Yuan ChuLing did not care about him anymore and gave a cold smile before sitting down after rearranging his seat.
Not sure if it was due to the wear and tear of the long years or that Yuan ChuLing's previous actions were too harsh, but the originally strong seat was actually broken. So when Yuan ChuLing sat down on the chair, the sound of “kacha” could be heard and he fell to the floor with his hands and feet dancing wildly in the air and a lung-splitting scream.
Even Tang Xiu himself almost laughed out loud, but thinking back to how Yuan ChuLing stood up to speak for him, he forced back his laughter and walked towards Yuan ChuLing to pick him up from the floor.
On the other hand, most of the people who were on Yang Jian's side did not dare to laugh because they did not want to anger Yuan ChuLing who had an extremely frightening temperament.
“Are you done? If you are done, shut up! “Just when everyone's attention was focused on Yuan ChuLing, a cold voice echoed from the front of the classroom.
Upon hearing the imposing sound, the classroom became silent and even Yuan ChuLing stopped screaming in pain.
During this time Tang Xiu had a shocked face when he saw that the chair on the floor was completely undamaged and that Yuan ChuLing was not even injured.
As if seeing what Tang Xiu was thinking, Yuan ChuLing gave Tang Xiu a few winks. If not for Tang Xiu's returning soul correcting his vision, the wink Yuan ChuLing gave off from his straight-looking eyes would have been futile.
“This fat is actually a genius.” Seeing the winking expression Yuan ChuLing gave, Tang Xiu immediately understood the reason why Yuan ChuLing fell and could not help but praise her high EQ. (TLN: EQ \= emotional intelligence, which also means emotional intelligence)
Yuan ChuLing only wanted to fight Yang Jian and not the entire class, but his previous actions were too arrogant which could easily cause the rest to hate him. But after playing out his slapstick self-torture performance, Yuan ChuLing's arrogance and despotic actions had clearly been dissolved, and the good impression he had brought to the rest of the class would also be fresh in their minds.
“The whole school can hear your argument, even if you don't feel ashamed, I'm embarrassed. Do you all still have the image of a student? ”Seeing that he had managed to intimidate the sixty grade students in his class, Hu QiuSheng's expression softened slightly.
He noticed everyone in the class, causing the students to panic as they all lowered their heads in guilt. Only Tang Xiu, Yuan ChuLing, and Yang Jian raised their chests without being intimidated by Hu QiuSheng.
Hu QiuSheng looked disdainful as he shifted his gaze from Tang Xiu to Yuan ChuLing, and when he looked at Yang Jian, a smile appeared, “Yang Jian, what is really happening right now, why is the class making so much noise? ”
“Teacher, Tang Xiu didn't attend the self-study session overnight and was even late for the morning self-study session so I just told him a little bit, but after that Yuan ChuLing went to smash the chair and kick the table, and even started criticizing us that no matter how good the value was, we would only be employees working under someone. Furthermore he still said that dealing with us would only be a fingerstool for him …….. “Yang Jian became extremely confident when the master teacher supported him, giving Tang Xiu and Yuan ChuLing a quick glance and starting to explain the situation, adding oil to the fire as well.
Hu QiuSheng disliked Tang Xiu and Yuan ChuLing from the start, so when he finished listening to what happened his facial expression when he saw Tang Xiu and Yuan ChuLing was filled with even more disgust.
“Tang Xiu, the results for the monthly test last month came out and do you know how much you got? 37 marks! “Hu QiuSheng's eyes locked onto Tang Xiu as he started reprimanding Tang Xiu.
“Value is 37, and the total value for this test is 750 grades but you actually got 37 grades, you are the first in the group if we count the ratings backwards, so, do you know how many people laugh at me for this? If it wasn't for your mother kneeling down and pleading with me a few times, did you really think that I would let you stay in this class? ”Hu QiuSheng scolded Tang Xiu loudly.
“Every time you convince Me that you will work hard and get a better score on the next test, but every time when the results come out you are always the lowest in the group, you are the best, and your results become the worst and worst every time!”
“Tang Xiu, I've already sent a request to the principal to get you out or at least you switch to another class, our class will never continue You here or I will quit my post as the master teacher of this class!”
……
Hu QiuSheng roared as he said those words, his facial muscles curved and his eyes turned blood red as if Tang Xiu was committing an unforgivable crime.
While facing Hu QiuSheng's nagging, Tang Xiu's lips trembled for a moment. He wanted to explain himself but gave up on that thought after he observed Hu QiuSheng for a bit and stood on the spot calmly, letting Hu QiuSheng reprimand him.
However Yuan ChuLing who was standing beside Tang Xiu had her face completely flushed red as if suffering from a great humiliation. His body continued to fidget while his mouth opened several times wanting to defend Tang Xiu, but he was pressed back by Hu QiuSheng's imposing manner and was unable to speak.
After scolding Tang Xiu nonstop for about 10 minutes, Hu QiuSheng's pent-up anger almost subsided and following that, he directed his gaze to Yuan ChuLing.
When he saw the vague mocking smile at the corner of Yuan ChuLing's mouth, Hu QiuSheng chose to ignore his existence before criticizing the other students who were not performing well. Only when the bell for the late morning self-study session rang did Hu QiuSheng stop his scolding and leave in a hurry.
Although Hu QiuSheng had left, the classroom still had an intangible heavy atmosphere. In addition to the few students who needed to go to the toilet, the majority of them were busy revising.
