Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 536 -s 456 - Ming Di Research Institute_4

Teacher Gu Han noticed an extra person in the class, and then it dawned on him. "Chen Gu, is that you? You’re back?"

The teacher’s attitude was very amiable, and Chen Gu responded with great respect, rising to his feet. "Yes, it’s me. I’m back, Teacher."

Gu Han gestured with his hand. "Good, take a seat."

Then he looked at all the students in the training ground and said, "Let’s stick with the previous combat pairings. Does anyone want to switch?"

Over there, Shangguan Yuqing glared at Qiao Shuangyi. If he knows what’s good for him, he’ll quickly raise his hand and ask to change opponents, she thought. Otherwise, I’m going to make him cry for his mom and dad today!

She knew all too well what people like that chubby kid were like, having grown up surrounded by them. In a nutshell, they were spoiled brats who had never faced real hardship—the slightest obstacle or setback would make them give up immediately.

A toad lusting after a swan’s flesh, daring to have designs on *me*, this young lady!

However, Qiao Shuangyi sat cross-legged on the training ground floor, hands resting naturally on his knees. He stared forward, his breathing even, seemingly preparing for the upcoming battle—completely ignoring Shangguan Yuqing’s provocation.

"Hmph." Shangguan Yuqing cracked her knuckles. You little fatty, you’re asking for it!

No one else wanted to change opponents either. But unfortunately, Bai Zhijin suddenly remembered something: the combat pairs had been prearranged, and Chen Gu hadn’t returned at that time. In other words, Chen Gu hadn’t been included.

This isn’t right!

Bai Zhijin, driven by his perennial adolescent conviction that he was destined to carry the banner for students from humble backgrounds and become their representative against the noble families, absolutely could not tolerate this kind of ’preferential treatment’ for a scion of a noble family.

He raised his hand high. "Teacher!"

Gu Han asked, "Do you want to switch opponents?"

"No, I’m not switching. I just wanted to ask why you didn’t arrange an opponent for Chen Gu. If I’m not mistaken, even if he doesn’t fight, he’ll still get credit for this course, right?"

Liao Mingliang, sitting beside Gu Han, buried his face in his hands. Ah, Bai Zhijin, my friend, he thought. Talented and loyal, but sometimes a bit dense...

Fan Yutong was frantically tugging at him from the side, but Bai Zhijin stood "proud and unafraid," looking up at Teacher Gu Han like a little rooster.

The old teacher chuckled. "Alright then, I’ll arrange for you to fight Chen Gu."

Bai Zhijin shivered, then clenched his teeth and straightened his neck. "I’m not afraid of him!"

Gu Han laughed again. "I didn’t say you were afraid of him, did I? No need to emphasize it. How about this: we won’t wait. Your match with Chen Gu will be first, starting right now."

Liao Mingliang and Fan Yutong both sighed and lowered their heads. Oh well, they thought in resignation. Worst-case scenario, we’ll help him pay his medical expenses...

Chen Gu rose and stepped into the center of the fighting area. Gu Han, ever the conscientious teacher, thought for a moment and then emphasized to Chen Gu, "A light touch is all that’s needed. You’re all classmates—don’t get too rough."

Chen Gu promptly replied with an obedient, "Understood, Teacher."

Bai Zhijin made his preparations, then solemnly stepped into the fighting area. He let out a loud shout, just about to activate his class ability, when a huge fist suddenly appeared right before his eyes.

THUMP!

Bai Zhijin yowled, clutching his left eye as he staggered back more than a dozen steps. The class energy he had just gathered instantly dissipated. His head was buzzing, stars danced before his eyes, and his nose stung as if he were about to cry.

By the time he regained his bearings and looked down, he had already been pushed out of the circle—he had lost.

Bai Zhijin found this hard to accept. I’m supposed to carry the banner for students from humble backgrounds! How could I lose so quickly?

Meanwhile, Chen Gu had already turned, bowed to the teacher, and stepped out of the circle. "Teacher, I didn’t even use my class ability. That was restrained enough, right?"

He had gone very easy on him.
