Chapter 5: I was Beaten. Of Course, I Have to Inform the Teacher
At that time, Fan Tong and Qin Shousheng entered the classroom.
Like Fan Jian, the two of them wore hats to cover up their faces, and their heads lowered almost to their chests.
Wang Haoran struck the iron while it was hot. He asked the two of them to stop hiding their faces and to take off their hats.
Suddenly, two pig faces appeared in everyone’s field of vision.
Fan Tong and Qin Shousheng’s faces were swollen and deformed. Parts of their skin were smashed as if they were beaten countless times.
Their image was too shocking.
Xu Muyan was startled and couldn't bear to look at them any longer.
“How could this happen?! You were way too ruthless.” Wang Haoran was surprised when he saw their faces, then said to the people around him.
“In my opinion, both sides are wrong in this matter. I think Chu Bai should apologize to Fan Jian and the others and should pay for their medical expenses. What do you think?”
“I can agree.”
"No problem."
"I agree."
Their Boss spoke up for them, so Fan Jian, Fan Tong, and Qin Shousheng naturally agreed.
“It’s best if this matter can be settled as soon as possible.” Xu Muyan nodded in agreement when she heard that.
But, was it possible for the Protagonist to apologize to the Villain so easily?
Of course not!
Could he still be called the Protagonist if he apologized?
Sure enough, Chu Bai responded carelessly.
"Bah, I apologize for a fart. It's impossible!"
"Chu Bai, just apologize." Xu Muyan persuaded.
“It’s obviously their fault, why should I apologize? This must be a joke.”
For the most part, Protagonists are males who wouldn’t listen to any persuasion, just like Chu Bai.
It would be useless if anyone tried to persuade the Protagonist, even Xu Muyan.
[Ding! The Host succeeded in destroying the relationship between the Protagonist Chu Bai and one of the heroines, Xu Muyan, affecting the original plot’s direction. Received 200 Villain Points.]
[Ding! Xu Muyan, one of the heroines’, favorability for Chu Bai decreased by -10. The current favorability between the two is 0. (Same as a Stranger)]
[Ding! Chu Bai’s Protagonist Halo decreased by -20, and the Host’s Villain Halo increased by +20]
That was really effective.
Hearing the three consecutive messages from the system, Wang Haoran grinned secretly.
Under his management, the relationship between Chu Bai and Xu Muyan became that of strangers.
On the other hand, his favorability with Xu Muyan was 10.
He was now in a very favorable position compared to the Protagonist.
But, of course, Wang Haoran wouldn’t be careless. After all, since Chu Bai possessed the Protagonist’s Halo, he might be able to gain Xu Muyan’s favorability back quickly.
Chu Bai’s Protagonist Halo was only reduced by 20 points, not nearly enough.
Wang Haoran checked the changes in his attribute panel.
[Host: Wang Haoran]
[Strength: 89]
[Charm: 198]
[Villain Halo: 119]
[Villain Points: 400]
[Skills: None]
The Villain Halo’s previous 99 points had risen to 119, which was a lot.
As of now, Wang Haoran had obtained 500 Villain Points in total, but after consuming 100 points to analyze Chu Bai’s attributes, he was left with 400.
It wasn’t enough to open the System Shop.
He must continue his efforts.
*****
During class, Wang Haoran asked his three underlings to come to talk at the corner.
“Boss, we were really careless yesterday. I heard that he could fight, but I didn’t expect him to be able to fight so well. Damn it!”
“Boss, I will call some brothers after school today. We will definitely beat Chu Bai and turn his face into that of a pig’s!”
Fan Tong and Qin Shousheng both said bitterly.
"Shut up!" Wang Haoran rebuked.
If he allowed the two to do what they said, Wang Haoran might as well pack his bags for hell. It would render him unable to oppose Chu Bai.
Why?
Because it was the original plot written by the stone-hearted author.
If he followed the expected routine, he would’ve met a terrible end.
“Boss told me earlier that, without his permission, we’re not allowed to do anything to Chu Bai. You no longer need to mention it.” Fan Jian explained to Fan Tong and Qin Shousheng.
"Is that so?" Fan Tong asked in a daze.
“Of course it is.” Wang Haoran sneered.
“Oh, it turned out that Boss had made a plan to deal with Chu Bai! Whoops…” Qin Shousheng smiled, but after touching the bruise on his face, he was again covered in pain.
"It depends on you." Wang Haoran said.
“Boss, your orders!”
The three young underlings were willing to go through fire and water.
"Go and inform the teacher that you were beaten by Chu Bai." Wang Haoran said lazily.
"Yes, Boss, let's… ah? Boss, what did you say? Inform the teacher?!"
Fan Jian immediately took the lead, but halfway through the sentence, he realized something was wrong and was shocked.
"???" Fan Tong and Qin Shousheng were also dumbfounded.
Wang Haoran had three identities in school. He was the top student, the most handsome boy, and the school bully.
Fan Jian, Fan Tong, and Qin Shousheng were the three underlings under his care, so they could walk arrogantly around the school.
They had a reputation to keep. Although they were beaten, they couldn’t complain to their teachers or parents for such a spineless incident.
Did the Boss not care about his reputation?
As a school bully, the only way to resolve conflicts was by using fists and violence wherever they were needed.
Should they actually go to the teacher to complain?
This would make them lose face!
“What’s the matter? What are you staring at me for? There was a terrible fight between students which must be brought to the teachers’ notice so that they could solve it. This is the best way to deal with it.” Wang Haoran said to the three bewildered little brothers.
“Do you think that I will arrange for people to take care of him?
I, your Boss, is the son of a rich family brought up with a great upbringing and a good education. I have been a paragon of virtue and learning since I was a child. As one of the top ten students in the school academically, how can I allow myself to deviate from the righteous path?”
Fan Jian, Fan Tong, and Qin Shousheng looked at each other. They couldn't refute a single word.
There was nothing wrong with that!
So, three little brothers with swollen noses walked into the office of the Moral Education Department.
When the class bell rang, Chu Bai was called by the wicked Deputy Director of the Moral Education Department.
The next moment, a gorgeous beauty stepped into the classroom wearing high heels and glasses.
Her name was Song Zhenyu and she was 24 years old. She was also the English teacher.
Although she was young, she was hot-tempered and an outstanding teacher. On top of that, her punishments were never light.
After discovering that four students were missing from her class, she was a little annoyed.
It was their third year of high school. With students having less time to prepare, their absence from her morning class couldn’t be tolerated.
The students in her class could see a faint flame on the head of their beautiful teacher.
Nevertheless, Song Zhenyu was still as beautiful as a painting.
A beautiful woman is always a beautiful woman. Even her anger was a feast to look upon.
Wang Haoran thought in his heart and sighed, but soon, an idea crossed his mind.
“Teacher Song must also be one of the heroines, right?”
The Protagonist with X-Ray Vision happened to be a student. According to the usual tropes, the beautiful teacher being one of the female heroines isn’t strange but standard.
Wang Haoran wanted the system to analyze her to clear it up, but it was difficult to consume the hard-earned 100 Villain Points just for that.
After thinking for a while, he let it be.
He only had 400 Villain Points. He needed 100 more Villain Points to open the System Shop.
He wasn’t in a hurry anyway.
“Does anyone know why Chu Bai, Fan Jian, Fan Tong, and Qin Shousheing didn’t come to class?” Song Zhenyu asked the students.
As the teacher, she knew the missing students after a glance at the empty desks.
“Teacher Song, Chu Bai beat Fan Jian, Fan Tong, and Qin Shousheng violently. He beat them so badly that their faces were disfigured. The Deputy Director of the Moral Education Department came over and called them away.” Wang Haoran stood up to report.
"What?! They fought?"
When Song Zhenyu heard that, her anger doubled, and her high-pitched voice rang in the ears of all the students.
“Everyone, start your individual study. Wang Haoran, you manage the class.”
After commanding them, Song Zhenyu hurried out of the classroom.
Speeding up with her toes on her leg, she arrived at the Moral Education Department before she knew it.
