"So you are telling me that you would let them poison the girl?" Kincaid couldn't help but complain when he heard Ma Ping's words. "Sir, with all due respect, you have been against scheming since this school started." This man was their great instructor! Someone who was righteous and someone that would never allow a student to suffer just because they aren't privileged enough. What was happening? Why is he acting like this?
"Kincaid… sit down." Ma Ping gestured him to sit on the chair opposite him. After Kincaid complied, he continued, "I just thought it would be good for these people to receive some face slapping. In the outside world, schemes like these were pretty common. Leona didn't have any background, she should get used to the schemes while inside this school!"
What kind of reasoning was that?
"Sir, I think this is wrong. Leona is young. We can't let her deal with this. Moreover, the poison would surely weaken her."
"In the outside world, no one would stop people from scheming against her." Ma Ping smiled and rested his chin on his palms. "Let's not intervene this time. We should watch a show and enjoy it. Moreover, this is actually a great chance for us to teach people."
"Teach people?"
"People are starting to forget. They always think this is some sort of competition. They are now using their influence to get inside. They no longer fear us. Aiyo… I already got the madam's permission on this. She agreed to let Leona teach these people a lesson!"
"A lesson? What lesson?"
Ma Ping shrugged. "How should I know?"
Kincaid couldn't say anything.
"This is her fight. Let her decide how to retaliate!"
"But— "
"Tsk… Kincaid. When was the last time that someone who isn't an elite enrolled in this school?"
"That never happened, sir."
"Exactly. Leona was the first one after our batch that had no background. So, we should teach her how dangerous society is. This would also benefit her in the long run."
"Sir… how would she teach them a lesson? I don't think she is a poison expert. I know she reminded you too much of the madam, but… the madam is unique. She is one of a kind. And her knowledge knows no bounds. We can't really compare the two. Moreover, madam is an expert in both medicine and poison. Whereas Leona grew up in the streets. She already has a weak body. If they would successfully poison her, then she might get sick and stop attending classes."
"If that is the case, then we let her go." That only means that she didn't deserve to be here.
"Sir!"
"Kincaid, it's true that the Madam recommended her. However, she was sent here to learn, and failing is part of learning too." Ma Ping leaned back and acted like a benevolent senior.
Ma Ping continued. "You people won't understand what we went through before. You are lucky, we are now in the underground with a realistic environment. Back then, we ran towards the mountain early in the morning, every day. Inside that mountain, snakes and other dangerous creatures lurked. We also need to worry about the rain, mud, and other emergencies that might happen while we were out there! We experienced all of it and failed over and over. However, none of us complained. That's because we all grew up in the streets. We weren't privileged. Hmph! And now, just because of a poison that was only aimed at embarrassing someone, you wanted to protect a student? Kincaid… I am disappointed in you."
"Sir…"
"Do you think embarrassment could kill her? If it could kill her, it only meant she shouldn't be here! Weak people should not stay in this place!"
Kincaid stared at his boss in disbelief. How did it become about him? This was about Gabi and those people's scheme! "What are we going to do about those people?"
"Of course, this act wouldn't go unpunished. The chef and the people who contributed to this problem will be fired without any pay. We will also sue them for breach of contract and make them pay. Naturally, something will be given to them. This would alter their memories of the things that happened here."
"And those students?"
"What do you mean?" Ma Ping asked. "If you are asking if I would kick them out, the answer is a big No."
"What? Then…"
"We will punish them."
"How?"
"Ah, I forgot, you weren't here yet when someone did the same thing, bribing someone because of jealousy." Ma Ping clicked his tongue and started reading his files. "Hah… I added fifty pounds on the limbs of their suit."
"Fifty?"
"Each limb. Fifty in each arm and each leg. And you know that they have to wear their suits for seven days, right?"
'Then… Then…"
"Ah, one of them fainted. We punished him by letting him run laps… wearing the same suit."
"…" It was Kincaid's turn to be speechless. Two hundred pounds is not a small thing. It could easily kill someone! Seeing the smile on Ma Ping's face, Kincaid already guessed that those people really have a bad ending.
"Alright… you may leave now."
Meanwhile, Gabi didn't have any idea about the poisoning or any plans that Ma Ping was making. Today, she realized that her appetite had even become better. She could actually eat four portions more of her usual food. She is starting to wonder if this had something to do with nanoparticles! She always felt hungry and she never actually felt full.
"Hey… are you sure you can finish all that?" Miles said, she had a look of worry in her eyes as she looked at the mountain of greasy food in front of Gabi. There were burgers, fried chickens, potatoes, eggs, hams, and many other unhealthy foods. Luckily, their canteen was always an unlimited buffet that provided them with enough nutritious food for their training. Or, this school would have gone bankrupt because of Gabi's expense alone!
"Hmmm." Gabi nodded. In fact, she actually thought that this was her body's response to the nanoparticles.
"Hey,,, Leoness… are you still going to run later?"
Gabi ignored someone's taunting. These people are really weird. How could they act like obsessed people? Why not mind their own business?
"Let's see If you can still run later."
"Hahaha…"
"Hahaha…."
Gabi thought their waves of laughter were pretty weird. However, she chose to ignore it and focus on finishing her food. It would be a pity if she wasted any of the food that she got today.
"Hey, Leoness… why are you eating like a pig? Aren't you scared that your stomach would have problems soon?"
Gabi looked behind her. The one who asked was none other than Lu Tingting. He looked like he was watching a play. She knew that he was waiting for her to lose her temper. However, that will not happen today. "Lu Tingting… "Gabi smiled. "No need to worry about my stomach. If I sh*t, I would make sure to sit on your face. After all, you and the toilet bowl almost look the same. I am wondering if you are twins or something."
"You— "
"Hahaha… Lu Tingting! You actually look like a bowl! Probably because of your big mouth!" Miles chimed in. "I should have realized this earlier! Hahahaha…. "
"You — Why are you butting in? Do you want a fight?"
"Big man that looked like a bowl. Stop shouting. Why are you so angry?" Miles said. "They say the truth hurts, so it often makes us angry. Does this mean that you agree with me?"
"You — I will kill you! Fight me! Why don't you challenge me, huh?"
Miles only laughed at that. She shook her head and started eating her food, too. Seeing that the two women ignored him, Lu Tingting immediately got up. However, before he could take a step towards them, someone stopped him.
"Let them be. We will teach them a lesson soon."
"Humph! B*tch!"
"Loser!" Miles muttered lowly.
"Just you see, you loser!" Lu Tingting uttered.
"They are acting weird." Miles leaned towards Gabi who was still enjoying her food as if she didn't just talk about something gross a couple of seconds earlier."
"Yeah… notice it." Gabi nodded. In fact, she had long noticed everyone's gaze. However, she thought this was just because of their irritation because of what she did in the past few days. She shrugged and continued eating. She needed to eat fast and give her stomach time to digest everything before she chose her desserts!" Ah, she would really love some strawberry cake right now. However, this canteen didn't have it.
"You should be careful later. I think they would do something in the fight. Huh? What's wrong? Why do you look like that?"
Gabi's face contorted as she held her stomach.
"What's wrong."
"Crap," Gabi uttered. It looked like she really was about to sit on Lu Tingting's face! However, just as she was about to run towards the toilet, the pain in her stomach stopped.
"What happened? What's the matter?" Miles said.
"I— Nevermind. It doesn't hurt anymore."
"Tsk… Leo, I think it's because you ate a lot of food. Why not just take it easy? Are you really that hungry?"Actually, Miles already noticed that Gabi was different. She really loved to eat a lot of food, as if this was her first time eating those types of food.
Because of this, Miles felt that maybe Gabi wasn't like them? Perhaps she didn't grow up with these types of food around? "After we get out of here… I will give you something that would give you unlimited food when you visit a certain restaurant." Miles said.
"Really? Anywhere in the world?" Gabi thought that Miles has a good background too. Now that she mentioned giving her a card, it was obvious that Gabi was right in her guess. Miles came from a rich family!
"Yes. As long as you will eat in that restaurant."
"Great! I hope you don't regret it later." Gabi smiled before she took a huge bite of her fried chicken.
"So you are telling me that you would let them poison the girl?" Kincaid couldn't help but complain when he heard Ma Ping's words.
