[Returning to the Multipurpose Hall Scene]
King Yudan walked back to headquarters with his fellow upperclassmen. As he approached the base, he saw all his gatekeepers lying unconscious on the ground.
The other upperclassmen were equally shocked by what had happened.
"What happened? How could they all be knocked out? Who did this? Why didn't anyone tell me, damn it!!!" Yudan was visibly furious - this was the first time he'd ever been attacked like this.
[The Next Day]
All the students were talking about yesterday's incident, except for the new students who neither knew nor cared about what happened.
Yesterday, the new students had been divided into five classes.
*Ring!* The school bell sounded.
All the students prepared for class.
[In Class 10-F]
This was the lowest-ranked class among the new students. Some were playing around, others were sleeping, and a few were even smoking. This was undoubtedly the worst class among all the new student groups.
Suddenly, the door opened and a teacher entered the classroom. She was a woman with her hair tied back and wore a single earring on her left ear.
"Who's this?! Just some scared little woman!!" shouted one of the students smoking in the back.
The student approached the teacher, walking toward the front when suddenly another female student blocked his path. "Don't you dare do anything to her?! She's our teacher!!"
*Thud!*
The male student punched the girl, sending her flying out of the classroom.
*Door opening sound*
The delinquent student ran toward the teacher, who kept her head bowed to the ground, submitting rather than resisting.
*Whoosh!*
He threw a punch at the teacher, but without realizing it, someone passed by and took the hit instead.
*Crash!*
The wall behind them cracked from the impact.
What was more shocking was that the punch had landed squarely on the face - right on the cheek - yet the gray-eyed stranger wasn't affected at all, not even scratched.
The gray-eyed young man then placed a hand on the delinquent's shoulder as he walked past him.
"You idiot. How dare you attack a woman!" he said.
*Whoosh!* *Bang!*
With just that slight touch, the delinquent student was sent flying out of the second-floor window.
"W-wait, I lost? Just like that? And what did that guy mean by..." He tried to recall the gray-eyed man's words.
"So that's how it is... In the end, I'm just weak after all." He blinked.
When he opened his eyes again,
He was still in the classroom, in the middle of throwing that punch at the man, with the teacher still bowing her head behind him.
After seeing this, the delinquent student collapsed to the ground, realizing what he'd experienced wasn't just an illusion - it was a real illusion.
The gray-eyed man walked past him toward the back of the classroom.
"So we're having a welcoming event here? Shouldn't we have rented a stage instead?"
Another young man appeared at the front, helping up the girl who had been punched earlier.
"I don't think so..."
Now who was this new arrival? Many young troublemakers made their moves during first encounters - first impressions mattered, and most were trying to make a name for themselves.
"Sorry everyone, I have a question - where's my seat? I wasn't here yesterday so I don't know." He smiled as he looked toward the gray-eyed young man.
"Hey... Is that empty seat next to you mine? Haha, looks like we're desk mates!!"
