    Chapter 116

    After a night of bizarre and chaotic dreams, Yan Yunqing was still a little dazed when he woke up.

    He scratched his bedhead hair, sat blankly on the bed for a while, slowly waiting for his thoughts to return.

    Speaking of which, what did he dream about last night?

    …He couldn’t quite remember. He only remembered that he seemed to be standing in a particularly empty palace.

    And then he was… forging iron?

    Yan Yunqing was bewildered. Why would he be forging iron? How strange. And most importantly, why would he be forging iron in a palace?

    No, that didn’t seem like forging iron… Later, he seemed to be coaxing a child again.

    What a strange dream.

    And that palace was also a bit inexplicable, not quite like the Demon King’s Palace in his memory.

    Could it be that he had been overthinking things before going to bed last night because of the forum issue, leading to such a bizarre scene being constructed in his dreams?

    Yan Yunqing rubbed his face and patted it a couple of times to make himself more awake.

    He picked up his special communication device from the bedside table and went to the bathroom to wash up while yawning.

    What class was it today? Hmm, it seemed like there weren’t too many classes. He could also sneak over to the Swordsman Academy for a class and maybe run into Alice.

    If Alice could still recognize him, he would just take this student back. If she couldn’t, then so be it.

    He would be happy to relax too.

    Having made up his mind, Yan Yunqing sped up his washing up.

    After dutifully finishing his classes at the Magic Academy, Quinn, who had previously advised him to run away and not take the exam, approached him.

    “Ahem, what a coincidence, we meet again?”

    Yan Yunqing twitched the corner of his mouth. “Not a coincidence. We’re in the same class. It would be strange if we didn’t meet, right?”

    Quinn awkwardly scratched his neck. “Uh… it’s just that I didn’t expect us to really be in the same class.”

    “Okay, so what’s up?” Yan Yunqing nodded and asked.

    “Uh… well… it’s just that we’re all a bit curious about you. Do you want to go out for a meal together later?” Quinn stammered.

    Yan Yunqing: ?

    Yan Yunqing’s gaze fell on the people behind Quinn. Seemingly everyone was busy with their own things, but a large number of them were glancing in their direction.

    Watching him subtly.

    “This…” Yan Yunqing tilted his head and thought for a moment. “Actually, I have something to do later…”

    Quinn’s expression became tense as he stared intently at Yan Yunqing, waiting for his answer.

    “But I can still squeeze out time for a meal.”

    Yan Yunqing raised a bright smile. “So, how many of you are there? Where are you planning to eat together?”

    Quinn had been preparing to return disappointed because of Yan Yunqing’s tone, but he didn’t expect Yan Yunqing to take a detour and make a turnaround. His eyes immediately lit up, and he excitedly opened his mouth, “Not many, just 8 people. How about ‘Two Towers’ on the east side of the academy?”

    Sigret Academy also had cafeterias, but they appeared in the form of different restaurants. “Two Towers” was a relatively high-end restaurant within the academy, offering different meals, a bit like a Western restaurant on Blue Star.

    “So there are eight people!” Yan Yunqing exclaimed. “That’s quite a lot. Does everyone want to get to know me?”

    Quinn choked, hurriedly covered his mouth, and realized that he had accidentally revealed that everyone had pushed him to ask Yan Yunqing out.

    Yan Yunqing smiled and waved his hand. “It’s okay, then let’s go to ‘Two Towers’. Is tonight okay? I have something to do this afternoon. I’ll go to ‘Two Towers’ to find you after I’m done?”

    Quinn still maintained the posture of covering his mouth with both hands, nodding repeatedly.

    “Okay, okay!” His voice was muffled.

    Yan Yunqing asked strangely, “What’s wrong with you?”

    Quinn silently shed a line of clear tears. “I bit my tongue…”

    Yan Yunqing: …

    Why did this kid look a bit silly? Was he really a student from Class A?

    As if someone shared the same thought, a cold snort filled with mockery sounded behind them.

    Yan Yunqing turned his head and saw a blond man with his arms crossed, looking disdainful. When Yan Yunqing turned around, he raised his chin high, wishing he could look at Yan Yunqing through his nostrils.

    Yan Yunqing: ?

    Who was this? How had he offended this person?

    Quinn tugged at Yan Yunqing’s sleeve, his voice still a bit muffled, but Yan Yunqing understood. He said, “Don’t mind Harold. That guy finished one place ahead of you on yesterday afternoon’s test, but his score was still worse than yours. He’s jealous of you!”

    “Huh?” The blond Harold heard this and immediately jumped up, his face full of anger. “Who are you saying is jealous? Do I need to be jealous of such a clown who got into Sigret through connections?! Trash! A bug?!”

    Yan Yunqing’s body trembled when he heard the word “Joker”. He realized that the blond was using sarcastic language, and hadn’t discovered his disguised identity, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

    Good, good, he was just being scolded…

    Quinn snorted. “If you’re not jealous, why are you putting on such an ugly face? It’s as if no one knows that you went back and smashed more than a dozen cups. York was the one who cleaned up the mess in the end. You just bully York all day long!”

    Hearing this, the blond glared at the freckled teenager on the other side. “Huh? Are you the one who’s been talking nonsense outside?”

    York, with a face full of freckles, waved his hands repeatedly, looking terrified. “No, no, I definitely didn’t tell anyone!”

    Quinn laughed. “Here it comes again, here it comes again. So I said, besides bullying York, what else can you do? Are you just going to squawk all day like a cuckoo chicken?”

    Yan Yunqing watched as the blond’s curly blond hair straightened a bit from Quinn’s words… This wasn’t an illusion. A faint arc of electricity flashed across his blond hair, and a wisp of white smoke appeared, straightening his curly blond hair a bit.

    It even exploded upwards.

    Was this a literal manifestation of being so angry that smoke was coming out?

    Yan Yunqing wondered hesitantly.

    “Okay, okay, okay!” The blond Harold was so angry that he couldn’t even speak. Yan Yunqing even heard the sound of him grinding his teeth fiercely.

    He pointed at Quinn. “Don’t be complacent. With your last-place grades, I think you’ll be dropping out of Class A soon. I’d like to see how you’ll still be able to laugh then!”

    “Blehhh!” Quinn made a face at Harold. “So what if I’m in last place? I don’t need you to worry about me. You should worry about yourself first! Haha, you tried so hard to compete for the top spot, but you couldn’t even get second place, let alone first. How embarrassing!”

    “You!!! Damn bug!! Say that again?!”

    “I’ll say it, so what if I do?” Quinn repeated the words he had just used to mock Harold, but before he could finish, Harold raised his fist and punched Quinn hard in the corner of his mouth.

    Quinn: ?!

    Quinn incredulously wiped the corner of his mouth and felt the bloody taste in his mouth—an injury caused by his teeth colliding after being punched. He was also angry, turned around, raised his fist, and also swung it at Harold.

    In an instant, the two were wrestling together. This development was really a bit incomprehensible.

    The people around who were originally watching the fun were a little panicked. Several people with good relationships with Quinn rushed up, preparing to help Quinn beat up Harold, while Harold’s followers couldn’t just watch Harold get beaten up, so they also rushed up to protect their boss.

    In a short period of time, what was originally just a small quarrel escalated into a group fight scene.

    Yan Yunqing watched in astonishment.

    But he still had a conscience. After all, Quinn had argued with this blond because of him, and Quinn had suffered an undeserved disaster because of this. He paused and also joined the battlefield.

    But he wasn’t going to fight, he was going to pull a biased fight.

    Yan Yunqing rushed in, grabbing one person with each hand. He grabbed Quinn’s hand with a gentle grip, and restrained Harold’s arm with all his strength.

    Harold only felt one of his arms being tightly entangled. Before he could react, he had taken countless punches to his body, and his feet had been stepped on several times.

    Harold wanted to resist, but his arm was being controlled, and he had no ability to resist, so he could only passively be beaten.

    Having just returned from outside the school, Dean Di Yu’er, upon hearing that Class A, which he was in charge of, was fighting, and it was a group fight, inexplicably rushed to the classroom, and at a glance, he saw the people wrestling together.

    Di Yu’er: ???

    “Everyone, stop!” Di Yu’er shouted loudly.

    No one paid any attention to him. The two sides wrestling together were in the heat of the fight, and plus, there was Yan Yunqing, who could sneak over to the Swordsman Academy for class and no one would realize he was a Magic Academy student, pulling a biased fight, the fight became more and more intense.

    Harold’s side thought that they were being unreasonable, that it was clearly a mutual beating, but they had to control their actions, causing them to only be able to be passively beaten.

    Quinn’s side also thought that Harold was being unreasonable. They clearly hadn’t done anything, they were just normally beating each other up. Being beaten was only because Harold was too weak. If you’re weak, then practice more, don’t make excuses!

    Only Yan Yunqing, after hearing Di Yu’er’s loud shout, silently retracted his hand that had been restraining Harold, and also retracted his jio that had been stomping everywhere, obediently stood aside, and no one could tell that he had just carried out a wave of biased fighting and dirty tricks.

    Oh, no, that wasn’t right. It wasn’t that no one had discovered the good deeds that Yan Yunqing had done. At least his roommate, Demetrius, had taken all of his actions into his eyes.

    Yan Yunqing glanced in his direction, and Demetrius silently lowered his head, reduced his presence, and continued to squat in the corner, growing mushrooms.

    He wanted to leave, but the people in the group fight had blocked all the entrances and exits of the classroom. Even if only a dog passed by, it would be kicked.

    Demetrius didn’t want to be punched for no reason just because he wanted to leave.

    Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the dean, Di Yu’er’s anger, which was originally only three points, immediately rose and turned into nine points, with only one point of reason remaining to keep him from exploding on the spot.

    Di Yu’er took a deep breath, took out his magic wand, and quickly cast a bubble magic. Immediately, bubbles popped out from the top of his magic wand and surged towards the crowd wrestling together, indiscriminately wrapping them up.

    The bubbles gradually expanded, separating them, and also swallowing them one by one into the large bubbles. Quinn and Harold, as the two who fought the fiercest, were trapped in two large bubbles, floating half a meter above the ground.

    “Everyone—stop—right—now!”
