Chapter 50: Feng Wu Stares at the Board
Feng Wu pointed to Little White sitting on the sofa playing with Little Bun. “That’s Little White.”
“Eh?! How is there a baby in the dorms? Why is there a shengmu beast here?” Xi wondered if she was still dreaming. There was actually a baby and a shengmu beast in the dorm.
“The little baby is Feng Wu’s baby and the shengmu helps take care of him for her.” Annika awkwardly explained. She wasn’t entirely sure if Feng Wu bore the baby.. .
“Feng Wu, is what Annika said really true? You’d actually dare have a baby at your age?!” Jasmine didn’t like commoners, so this revelation made her lose her temper. She was uncomfortable with the idea of living with a girl who would get pregnant.
Feng Wu wasn’t very a talkative child to begin with, so when Jasmine confronted her she could only bite her lip and be silent.
“Jasmine, you don’t know anything. What you said is too much.” Xi knew how quiet Feng Wu could be from their time together as a team in the virtual world.
“Ha!” Jasmine’s face didn’t look good but she refrained from saying more.
Feng Wu didn’t understand why Jasmine asked her questions so angrily. Well since she didn’t understand it she was going to just keep eating her breakfast.
Little White only made enough breakfast for Feng Wu, after all Feng Wu was its master’s mother, and its master loved his mother very much, so of course it gave Feng Wu consideration. The others in the dorms though.. . it didn’t care about at all.
Annika was going to ask Feng Wu if she could join in on her breakfast, but Jasmine made things too awkward. Instead she said, “I’m so hungry. Let’s go out for breakfast.”
Jasmine and Annika left together but Xi stayed behind to say a few words to Feng Wu.
Feng Wu had left a strong impression on Xi. Xi knew how simple Feng Wu was so she said, “Feng Wu, just now, why didn’t you talk back to Jasmine? What she said was out of line. How can you take it?! This academy isn’t a paradise. There’ll be conflict between people. You have to learn to protect yourself against them.”
Xi’s good intentions were clear so Feng Wu replied with, “Hm. I will remember,” while nodding her head. Then she went right back to her breakfast.
Xi sighed and said, “Don’t be late for class,” before heading out to get some breakfast herself.
After Xi left the whole dorm was quiet. It didn’t bother Feng Wu whether she ate alone or with others. The only thing this gluttonous chowhound cared about was having food to eat. That didn’t mean she was blind to Jasmine’s hostility. She knew the girl didn’t like her. She didn’t know the reason, but then again, she didn’t care either. After she finished breakfast, she told Little White to take care of Little Bun before leaving for class.
Feng Wu was a new student in the Sword Division. The Sword Division and the Magic Division are in different areas. She had to ask for directions but eventually found her class.
Feng Wu was conspicuously empty-handed as she stepped inside and found a seat. You must understand, sword wielders rarely went anywhere without their weapon. No one would have been surprised if she was in the Magician Division, however she was wearing the uniform of those in the Sword Division. She was so cute it attracted a bit of attention. A few boys even whistled at her.
It didn’t affect Feng Wu one bit. Her face didn’t change and she kept her gaze on the blackboard, motionless. She sat like this for several minutes.
Many of the boys surreptitiously watched her wondering what was so great about the board.
Being a sword user required physical strength, so most girls in the division were strong and toned. It was unusual to find a delicate looking young miss in the division. If a girl like that couldn’t get into the Magic Division, she would opt for either the Medical Physician Division or the Pharmacy Division.
There were many more students in the Physician Division than in the Pharmacy Division. Physician’s made a lot of money, so unless a student couldn’t afford the division fees, then she would definitely go for the Physician Division.
Such an adorable cutie in a division full of buff girls was extremely eye catching. It was very rare sight!
Feng Wu ignored the glances directed her way and maintained her stare of the blackboard. What was on her mind was a mystery.
Xi finished breakfast and walked into class a bit after Feng Wu. Although she didn’t know anyone, she walked in confidently and gave a simple greeting. To her surprise she saw Pei and Hans, her former teammates from the virtual world test.
Upon seeing Xi, they stepped forward to greet her. They were classmates so it would be good to maintain good relationships with each other.
“Wow, I didn’t expect to see everyone again. It’s unusual to have three acquaintances in the same class.” Xi couldn’t believe their luck, to have three members from their team in the same class.
“Not three, four.” Hans pointed over to Feng Wu.
Pei and Hans had noticed Feng Wu earlier, but chose not to call out to her. She seemed deep in thought and they didn’t want to disturb her.
Xi’s lips twitched. “What happened to her?” Did someone bully her? If someone did, then she was going to step in. Feng Wu was her roommate after all.
“We don’t know what’s going on, but her eyes haven’t moved from the board the entire time since she sat down.” Pei shrugged.
“Phew. I was scared. I thought someone was bullying her.” Xi sighed upon hearing her fears were unfounded. Then she thought of something. “Hey, let me tell you. Me and Feng Wu are in the same dorm. Whoever bullies her, let me know, this sister will protect her.” Xi waved her sword and patted her chest.
Pei and Hans were surprised Xi and Feng Wu had such entwined fates, to even be assigned to the same dorm. The din of chatter around them covered up their conversation, not allowing anyone to overhear.
