Tribulation of Myriad Races Chapter 163: Bullying The Good Guy (2)

Chapter 163: Bullying The Good Guy (2)

7th of August.

As usual, Su Yu woke up early. He waited in front of the male dormitories. This time, he did not go knocking on the doors one by one. Eventually, students started leaving the building.

When they saw Su Yu, the students greeted him regardless of whether they were from the intermediate class. One of them joked, “Class Monitor Su, you’re so responsible. Are you not afraid that the other class monitors will say that you’re making life difficult for them?”

Su Yu innocently replied, “Sorry! I never meant to do that! I am from a poor family and the teacher said that if I don’t do my job well, I’ll have my monthly merit reward deducted. Even a single merit point is very important for me. I can only apologize if anyone is troubled by this.”

“I was just kidding!” The same person laughed heartily, “Class Monitor Su, you’re only so friendly because you’re from Nanyuan. If you’re from the capital, you wouldn’t have bothered to waste your time on us. You’re a good class monitor. Just look at those geniuses at the high-level zone. We can hardly see any of them. Meanwhile, we get to see you every day.”

Su Yu bashfully smiled and said, “I wanted to stay there too, but I couldn’t afford it. When I make enough money, I’ll also move there. At that time, you guys won’t be able to see me anymore!”

“Hahaha!”

The crowd couldn’t help but to laugh. They found Su Yu to be quite an adorable class monitor.

…

Before long, everyone in their class had arrived. Once again, a large group headed to class together. As youngsters, all of them could easily develop a pack mentality. When they saw how the students of the other classes were either alone or in small groups, they felt incomparably proud of the unity their class was displaying.

With so many friends by their side, they felt confident and proud. Just look at how united the intermediate class of the Character Faculty was. Naturally, a certain individual who lacked the sense of unity had already been isolated from the group.

Kong Cheng had not gathered with the group today. He had left alone early in the morning. Nobody was bothered about it. Even his roommates did not care about him. They had only known each other for a few days anyway. It didn’t matter to them if he wanted to leave alone. They had even heard that Kong Cheng was going to move into the Mental Tempering Garden soon.

They all found it accepted for Su Yu to stay in the Mental Tempering Garden. But when Kong Cheng was mentioned, someone said in disdain, “What is a middle-low student doing moving in with those geniuses? What an idiot. Is he not afraid of making a fool of himself in front of those geniuses?”

“That’s right!”

Meanwhile, Su Yu acted like he had heard nothing. Kong Cheng only had himself to blame for this. Su Yu was a petty person. He believed that Kong Cheng should be thankful that he was only made a pariah. The only reason Su Yu had not done more to Kong Cheng was because Kong Cheng was simply too weak and not worth his time.

“Maybe I’ll just get someone to beat him up a few times before letting the matter end…”

Su Yu mused for a bit before laughing at himself. Why did it feel like he was the villain here? Just look at what he had been doing. He had established his own cohort in the academy and instigated them to isolate the person who had dared to stand up against him.

While he was thinking, a familiar person walked toward him. Looking at the haughty steps, Su Yu did not even need to look up to know who the newcomer was. It was Wu Lan.

She was as prideful as ever. With her head held high, she stopped before Su Yu and said, “Su Yu, why did you accept Lin Yao’s challenge? I have yet to defeat you. If you end up losing to him, wouldn’t that mean that I’m weaker than him?”

…

Su Yu was stunned. What…logic was that?

He recovered from his shock quickly and said with a bitter tone, “You know about the challenge?”

“Of course. That cocky fellow has been spreading the news in the special zone.”

“I had no choice…” Su Yu assumed a vexed expression and said, “You should know about the incident two days ago. My teacher won some blood essence from a duel. All those people started coming after me. When I refused to give him the blood essence, he forced me to challenge them, threatening to make my life difficult if I refused…”

“Useless garbage!” Wu Lan cursed. She furiously said, “He’s the same as that Chen something fellow. That piece of trash came looking for me previously. Even a piece of trash like Lin Yao is getting involved as well? I’ll go look for them. How dare they challenge you before me?”

…

Su Yu was feeling a heartfelt admiration for Wu Lan’s logic. Yes, exactly. Not even she had challenged him yet. How could they challenge him? But he was confused. Was there a grudge between him and Wu Lan? He had no idea! Why did she have her eyes on him?

“Forget it.” Su Yu hurriedly said, “It’s fine. This is my personal affair. You don’t have to get involved. Also…I’m not afraid of him! I might not be strong, but I fear no one! I don’t like to create trouble, but I’m also not afraid of trouble!”

Su Yu declared righteously, “Since he insisted on challenging me, so be it. It doesn’t matter if I’m not his match. Us small city fellows might be lacking in a lot of aspects, but we do not fear the powerful. Even if I have to lose, I’ll still show him that I am not a coward!”

“Well said, Class Monitor!” Someone furiously said, “Lin Yao, is it? I know him. A high-high student from the Lin Family. Even back when he was in secondary school, he had been very arrogant.”

“So he’s still so arrogant even after entering the academy?”

“I know him too. He is too cocky. He seems to look down on everyone. Damn that guy. If it wasn’t for the Lin Family, he would be nothing. How can he compare with our class monitor?”

“If our class monitor is as rich as the Lin Family, he would have reached the Great Strength Realm and Mental Tempering Stage long ago. That fellow is merely relying on his family to bully others!”

“That’s right! Just ignore him, Class Monitor!”

…

One after another, the students scolded Lin Yao, turning him into a great villain.

Animal!

Arrogant!

Bully!

Their class monitor was a good and honest man. He came from a small city and was a humble person. He looked silly when he smiled and he had never intentionally offended anyone. But because his teacher had obtained some blood essence, all those bullies were targeting him!

Su Yu wasn’t even the one who had exposed all that. It was Wu Lan! Otherwise, their kind class monitor would probably continue suffering in silence! The more they thought about it, the angrier they became.

One of the young women in the group said, “Class Monitor, don’t be afraid of him! He wants to challenge you? My elder sister is in the senior class. She used to be in the top 100. Recently, she has been looking for a sparring partner. I’ll get my sister to teach him a lesson!”

“My uncle is a veteran instructor. He’s a part of the Character Faculty as well. Since Lin Yao is trying to bully others, I’ll have my uncle deduct his marks and fail him in the exams!”

“Who does Lin Yao think he is? What gives him the confidence to be so cocky?”

“That’s right. My grandma is an intermediate researcher. What’s the big deal about the Lin Family? My grandma is not afraid of them!”

…

Su Yu couldn’t help but be impressed. Holy shit. His classmates were full of surprises! Good thing he had been keeping a low profile and had not offended any of these students. Otherwise…he would have ended up offending a big shot without realizing it.

Then again, it was understandable. This was the intermediate class. Although these students had yet to reach the Mental Tempering Stage, it didn’t mean that they had no background.

Some of them might simply be less talented while some were simply lacking in resources. But it did not mean that they did not have any connections. For example, look at that girl with an intermediate researcher grandma. An intermediate researcher would at least be a veteran Cloudbreach cultivator. No wonder she wasn’t afraid of the Lin Family.

Wu Lan was completely dumbstruck. Why were so many people standing on Su Yu’s side? Did Su Yu use some sort of charming Divine Character on them?

Su Yu hurriedly said, “Thank you, everyone. Thank you for speaking out for justice. But there is no need for anyone to do anything for me. I dislike owing people favors. Us small city folks are afraid of that the most. We would rather take a beating ourselves than to trouble others with our problems. In Nanyuan, even the smallest favor has to be repaid a hundredfold. I am too poor to repay you all, so please don’t do anything for me!” UpTodated 𝒏ov𝒆ls on 𝒏ov𝒆l()bin(.)c𝒐m

“Class Monitor, there is no need to repay us. We simply dislike bullies like him!”

Someone exclaimed with righteous indignation, “How have we provoked them? Do they think they’re hotshots just because they’re in the senior class? There are plenty of senior class students that couldn’t graduate. What’s the big deal?”

“That’s right!”

At that moment, hundreds of students were denouncing Lin Yao. He was afraid of the strong and bullied the weak. He bullied their honest and kind class monitor. He should get his ass kicked! Some students even suggested throwing a sack over him at night and beating him up. Only after a while did Su Yu manage to placate them all.

At that point, Wu Lan had already walked away. She couldn’t take it anymore. She wondered if those students had all gone mad. Why were all of them praising him endlessly? In their eyes, even she was a villain. A few of them were even glaring at her in an unfriendly manner.

Of course, most of those gazes came from the girls in the group. As for the gazes of the guys, well, they were quite disgusting in Wu Lan’s opinion.

…

As the students created a ruckus, news started to spread.

Senior class. Within a small classroom.

The students were mostly keeping to themselves. They barely spoke to each other.

Suddenly, someone rushed into the classroom and complained, “Lin Yao is such an embarrassment. He actually went and challenged Su Yu from the intermediate class. He has gone mad from thinking about blood essence.”

“Is someone like that worthy of being called a genius? A Mental Tempering Stage student bullying someone who isn’t even at the Mental Tempering Stage yet. I will never associate myself with someone like that.”

“The whole academy is talking about this. Everyone knows that a garbage high-high student has appeared from the Character Faculty, a piece of trash that only dares to challenge a weak student just to win the blood essence Assistant Bai Feng got previously.”

“Fuck! We’re all implicated as well. The others are saying that this batch’s senior class students only dare to bully weaklings and students from small cities.”

…

Some of the students were already aware of the incident while some had just learned of it. One of them snorted and coldly said, “Lin Yao is Lin Yao. He is unrelated to any of us. He is a piece of trash, but that has nothing to do with us. He better stay away from me in the future or I won’t hesitate to teach him a lesson.”

“Lin Yao has no class. What an embarrassment.”

“He should at least wait until that fellow is at the Mental Tempering Stage before issuing his challenge. I want Su Yu’s blood essence too, but I’m not doing anything. How disgusting. Lin Yao better stop claiming he’s from our class. I am not interested in associating with someone like him.”

“That’s right!”

…

Some of the students voiced their opinions while some remained silent. However, not one of them had a good impression of Lin Yao. He should have waited until Su Yu was at the Mental Tempering Stage before doing anything. What an embarrassment.

These were all geniuses. Which of them wasn’t a proud individual? What Lin Yao did only gave the outsiders an impression that they were only capable of bullying the weak. In truth, none of them had the intention to bully weaklings. It was beneath them.

As for the possibility of Su Yu being the actual challenger instead of Lin Yao…yeah, right. Nobody would believe that. Everyone concluded that Lin Yao was the one going after Su Yu’s blood essence.
