Chapter 49: First High School (8)

June 17, 2023 by Wyrd

 

Although it was a non-school Saturday, there were a lot of people gathered on the playground, almost like a sea of people.

With so many people together, even if they were having a meeting, it would be impossible for them to be completely quiet. However, at this moment, there was an eerie silence.

Each person had a different reason for their silence. Some were afraid, while others were dumbfounded.

The teenager on the field was wearing a red jersey. The jersey was a bit oversized, making his figure look slender. A gentle breeze lightly brushed his forehead, and his delicate face seemed otherworldly, with long eyelashes as beautiful as a painting. He exuded an air of arrogance and nobility.

Although the teenager should have appeared like a prince high above, his teardrop mole at the corner of his eye, the ruby in his left ear, and the red jersey on his body made him look a bit more approachable, yet also more striking and alluring, like a flower blooming on the road to hell, both tragic and beautiful.

That noble and arrogant appearance didn’t inspire awe, but instead stirred up dark thoughts in people’s minds.

It made people want to possess the teenager for themselves.

Several people present thought they would see a fierce and vicious NPC, but they were frozen in place.

The live streaming rooms of the players present also exploded.

[Oh my god! Could he be that NPC called Su Qing?!]

[How could he possibly be that tyrannical school bully? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I don’t believe it!]

[I don’t believe it either! Even if he’s not a 1.9-meter tall, hulking man, he should at least look cunning and sly! How could he bully others with his appearance like that! If he’s Su Qing, I’ll eat my desk!]

The viewers in various live streaming rooms expressed their disbelief. After all, the teenager didn’t look like he could bully anyone, and he appeared as if he would burst into tears if someone tried to bully him.

It was simply impossible to believe that this teenager was the demon Su Qing that the students and teachers had talked about. Even when they saw Player Ji Zhiyuan nodding, they still couldn’t believe it.

The viewers in the live streaming rooms of the players who hadn’t joined the game quickly jumped ship and went to Ji Zhiyuan’s and the other two players’ live streaming rooms.

One reason was to ask who this stunning teenager was, and the other was to get a closer look at him.

After all, there was no distance closer than being on the same field.

Keep in mind that in horror game livestreams, it’s already impressive if the streamer can survive and pass the level. Looks were not a major requirement, and even if they were handsome, they mostly resemble the charming type like God Pei. Rarely could one see someone so extraordinarily beautiful.

Moreover, the teenager was an NPC, and who knew, if they missed this instance, they might never see the other again.

Pei Yan’s live stream had the most viewers, and when the teenager appeared, the barrage exploded instantly.

[Shocking me for a whole year! Isn’t that the ex-boyfriend of God Pei, the notorious school bully?! (Shocked to the point of dropping my jaw.jpg)]

[Oh my goodness! I was mocking that school bully earlier, who had both a boyfriend and a girlfriend at the same time. Isn’t he the scum of all scums? Now, I apologize for my previous ignorance. I’m sorry, wife! Let me be the third one!]

[You, in front, you’re not the third one! God Pei has already dumped him! I don’t know if God Pei regrets it or not, but I’m already starting to regret it for him. Wife, look at me, whether God Pei knows how to appreciate him or not is his business. Let me be the second one! I’m willing!]

Speaking of this, the viewers in the live stream kept urging Pei Yan, who was still looking down at the old notebook, to raise his head.

However, Pei Yan seemed to be oblivious to the barrage. Seeing this, the viewers started directly rewarding him with points since the barrage wouldn’t remind the streamer, but rewards would.

Unfortunately, Pei Yan had even disabled the notifications for points in his live stream. So even if people sent rewards, it wouldn’t work.

However, maybe because the basketball court suddenly quieted down, Pei Yan finally raised his head. After casually scanning the surroundings, his gaze ultimately froze when it landed on the teenager in the basketball court.

The basketball game started with the jump ball section, where they compete for the first offensive opportunity. The referee threw the ball, and one player from each team tried to grab it.

The red team was Su Qing, and the blue team was Xiao Shiyi.

The fact that Xiao Shiyi was one of Su Qing’s lackeys was known throughout the school, so there’s no suspense about that.

Not only in this jump ball section, but also throughout this basketball game, everyone knew how it would end.

However, something unexpected happened.

After the referee threw the ball, Xiao Shiyi made a jump, followed by an obvious fake move with his hand, casually waving it, and did not grab the ball.

But the problem was... the boy didn’t manage to grab the ball.

The boy jumped a bit too early and not high enough. He reached out but only hit the air, and the basketball fell to the ground in front of everyone’s eyes.

The basketball bounced up and then fell again, repeatedly.

Ruan Qing: “...” He said he really couldn’t do it.

Because he had a heart condition, he couldn’t engage in physical activities at all. His physical response and abilities were far inferior to an average person’s. Even if he didn’t have a heart condition now, the symptoms of the disease were still present, and they couldn’t be improved in a short period.

Ruan Qing watched as his hand missed the basketball, and he helplessly witnessed it falling to the ground.

...If he had known, he would have found an excuse to avoid this situation.

The air was filled with a deathly silence, with only the faint sound of the wind blowing.

No one had expected such a turn of events. Everyone stood motionless, with a vacant expression, just watching the basketball drop.

Fortunately, Mo Ran reacted quickly. He made a beautiful move and picked up the basketball from the ground, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

The basketball game officially began.

The minor accident that occurred at the beginning didn’t concern the others much. They all wore tense and sympathetic expressions as they watched the match.

They even knew that the incident might make the boy vent his anger on others and further humiliate them.

However... the reality might differ from their imagination...

Others might not have noticed due to the distance, but those on the basketball court did. The boy’s physical abilities were surprisingly poor.

The viewers in the live stream room also noticed.

[Not to be rude, but this beauty might not be suitable for playing basketball. Look at his speed... he probably won’t even touch the ball throughout the entire game.]

[Even running is already exhausting for my wife, so how could he bully others? Did he not consider himself when planning this customized program? (Facepalm.JPG)]

[My wife’s gasping appearance is too tempting. I can’t control myself!]

[Streamer, pass the ball to my wife quickly, and I’ll reward you with points! I advise you not to be ignorant!]

The barrage was filled with requests for the streamer to fulfill their duty as an internal player and pass the ball to the teenager.

Ji Zhiyuan usually ignored the barrage, but this time, he looked at the slightly breathless teenager and pretended to make a mistake, passing the ball to the teenager’s side.

Then he watched helplessly as the ball flew past the teenager, who didn’t even react.

No, it should be said that the teenager did react, but his body didn’t respond. After all, the teenager also watched the ball fly by.

Ji Zhiyuan fell into silence. Was he really a school bully when he ended up like this?

He had originally planned to go on the court and serve as the internal player for the other three players, preventing any unexpected incidents from happening with these inexperienced teenagers. But he didn’t expect it to turn out like this...

Not only Ji Zhiyuan, but the other two players who were waiting to be bullied also fell silent.

With the teenager’s speed, he probably couldn’t even catch up to them, let alone bully them.

It seemed like they had overestimated the teenager. Even if an ordinary student went on the court, it would be difficult for them to be bullied.

The atmosphere on the court became somewhat eerie for a while. They didn’t even know when it started, but except for Song Yu, who was also exhausted, the other eight people were subtly passing the ball to the teenager, attempting to maintain his self-esteem and reputation as the school bully.

This was probably the game with the most mistakes ever made, but fortunately, the other players had impressive skills. It looked intense to the spectators, and they didn’t notice this aspect.

However, the teenager was really struggling. They were just one step away from handing him the basketball, yet he found it difficult to catch it.

Even if he managed to catch it, his shots either missed the rim or, if they did hit, they couldn’t go in at all.

The teenager received the ball once again and took another shot.

Others pretended to put up a fierce defense, as if they were vehemently blocking him, but in reality, everyone was just watching the teenager shoot.

Many people are praying for the ball to go in once, as if it had become almost an obsession for them.

However, sometimes their wish was useless.

Everyone watched helplessly as the ball thrown by the teenager almost touched the rim, but it’s already reached its highest point.

The ball... still didn’t go in.

The score remains 0-0.

Even someone as composed as Xiao Shiyi looked at the basketball dropping to the ground and let out a barely audible sigh.

Mo Ran, standing beside him, gazed at the basketball with a more serious expression than ever before, as if facing an immense challenge.

Ruan Qing’s face was also numb; he had made so many attempts but hadn’t scored.

Well, it’s not like it’s a must for him to score. He’s not really here to play basketball.

He’s here to bully people, to maintain his image.

Ruan Qing looked at the three individuals who were not his lackeys and directed his gaze towards the nearest short-haired player.

After all, this person should also be a player, presumably with better skills. It wouldn’t hurt to tease him a little.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to snatch the ball, Ruan Qing extended his foot towards the short-haired player, hoping to trip him.

Upon seeing this, the others’ pupils contracted, their eyes widened, and their hearts jumped to their throats.

It’s not that they’re afraid the short-haired player would be tripped, but rather they’re afraid that if he charged forward without being tripped, he might accidentally knock down the teenager.

After all, they had already witnessed how weak the teenager’s physical condition was.

Fortunately, the short-haired player reacted quickly and instinctively stopped his foot when it touched the teenager, using the momentum to perform a neat and cool flip, rolling on the ground in a circle to stabilize his figure.

Then, after a moment’s pause, the short-haired player suddenly lay down on the ground with a loud “thud.”

If it weren’t for that seemingly delayed second, it would appear as if he had been tripped.

People outside the court may be too far to see clearly, but those on the court knew that he’s faking it, yet nobody said anything.

Ruan Qing also knew that the short-haired player was faking his fall, but he pretended not to notice.

Just as Ruan Qing was preparing to make another move, Song Yu had unknowingly run to a spot not far from him.

Ruan Qing glanced at the short-haired player and the tall player, who were not very close to him, and could only turn to bully Song Yu instead.

After all, Song Yu was too close to him, and he had collided with him yesterday. According to the original owner’s nature, he would definitely prioritize bullying him.

Ruan Qing extended his leg, repeating his old trick.

Song Yu’s reaction was not as quick as the other players. Instead, his face turned pale, clearly indicating that he wasn’t feeling well. So Ruan Qing’s foot directly tripped him.

As for Ruan Qing... due to the force of Song Yu falling, he lost his balance and fell down as well.

Ruan Qing widened his eyes in shock. Had his body become so weak?

“Brother Su!”

“Brother Su! Be careful!”

Others nervously shouted upon witnessing the scene. However, they were too far away to catch the teenager in time.

Unlike the running track, which was made of soft ground and not very hard, the basketball court was made of concrete. Falling on this would undoubtedly cause more serious injuries.

Ruan Qing instinctively closed his eyes.

He had originally thought he would fall to the ground, but he didn’t expect to fall on Song Yu, who was just about to get up.

Although falling on Song Yu was better than falling on the ground, Ruan Qing still felt some pain. Fortunately, it wasn’t too severe.

Song Yu looked at the teenager who had fallen on him, lowered his gaze, and remained silent, still exuding a lifeless appearance.

Ruan Qing quickly got up, and the others arrived as well. Mo Ran anxiously looked at Ruan Qing and asked, “Brother Su, are you okay?”

Ruan Qing waved his hand and said, “I’m fine, let’s continue.”

The others wanted to say something more, but seeing the teenager respond this way, they could only run off and continue the game.

However, this time they passed the ball to the teenager more frequently, mainly because they were afraid he would bully others again. His way of bullying was simply harming himself more than the enemy.

It’s better to let the teenager focus on shooting the ball and winning this game."

However, within a few minutes, someone misjudged the force while passing the ball and accidentally hit the teenager.

The basketball hit the teenager’s elbow, causing an instant blush on his fair skin. The pain made the teenager’s hand contract, and he instinctively furrowed his brows.

Due to the physical activity, the teenager’s forehead glistened with sweat, and his disheveled hair stuck to his face. Despite that, he didn’t appear the least bit messy. On the contrary, he seemed even more innocent, and the slight frown between his beautiful eyebrows evoked a sense of pity.

For a moment, several people on the court looked towards the tall player, and their gaze turned dark.

The tall player: “... Sorry?”

No, why this damn feeling of guilt!?

He didn’t do it on purpose!

He simply passed the ball! Moreover, his force wasn’t significant at all! Not at all! He was already being cautious!

How was he supposed to know that the teenager couldn’t catch the ball?

The game continued, nearly ten minutes had passed, and neither team had scored a goal.

However, after this incident, the tall player felt that the difficulty of the game suddenly increased.

Several individuals intentionally hit, collided, and even threw punches while concealing their actions with their bodies when he went for the ball.

The current situation resembled a scene from school bullying.

The tall player initially thought it would be easy to avoid a few high schoolers’ bullying, but the speed and strength of Mo Ran and Xiao Shiyi were surprisingly fast and powerful. He couldn’t avoid them at all.

Within a short time, he had been punched multiple times, and his abdomen was throbbing with pain.

The tall player held his abdomen. Although there were no visible changes on the surface, the anger inside him kept rising.

Damn it! Are these people out of their minds!!!?

He accidentally threw the ball to the teenager, and this group of people seemed to want to kill him.

The player with short hair coughed awkwardly and, seeing the pitiful state of the tall guy, subtly helped him.

However, it didn’t have much effect. In fact, because he helped the tall guy, the others immediately turned against him as well. The short-haired player felt a sense of horror after experiencing the treatment the tall guy received.

Was this really the skill and strength that high school students could possess?

Other players finally realized the seriousness of the situation and understood why the teenager, despite being weak, could become the school bully.

It was because his gang was like a pack of crazy dogs, biting anyone they caught.

Fortunately, the basketball game had ten-minute quarters, and one quarter quickly passed, now entering a two-minute halftime break.

The short-haired player helped the tall player off the court.

Pei Yan walked up to them with a cold expression and coldly said, “Substitution.”

Substitution? The two were somewhat surprised. Wasn’t it just a moment ago that he said he wouldn’t play?

The audience in the live stream burst into laughter, and the barrage became dense again.

[Hahaha, who was it that said they couldn’t play just now? It hasn’t even been fifteen minutes yet.]

[Some people, they’re so fickle, just like a scumbag who didn’t even give a reason before dumping someone.]

[God Pei: Not playing? Who said that? Definitely not me.]

[Hilarious, I bet someone is already regretting breaking up, let me wager one point.]
