23 Chaoter 23: Pitiful Wang Guozhi! (1/2)
Gulp!
”Principal.. are you going to.. ”
Ling Yu's expression was that of horrified, while Xiahou Yu ran to hide at the back of Wang Guozhi, her head poking out from his sides with a terrified face. As if understanding what their expression was all about, the principal's veins popped out as he shouted;
”Of course not! What do you people take me for!”
To admit, he does like whipping, but he isn't someone with an extreme fetish to it!
Thus, when he saw their terrified faces, he blew up in a rage as it were too much for him!
And that little girl hiding there, are you seven years old?!
Hmph!!
Come out lest I whip you instead!!
Hearing the principal's answer, Wang Guozhi and Ling Yu sighed in relief. If the principal had decided to abuse Duan Li to vent his pent up frustration, there was nothing that they could do about it.
”Alright principal, we will be leaving now to convey your message!” said Wang Guozhi as he pulled both Ling Yu and Xiahou Yu out of the room like avoiding a plague.
He was afraid that the principal decided to change his mind and whip them instead!
Bang!
The door was closed forcefully.
”That.. Wang Guozhi!” said the principal in a hoarse voice as he clenched his teeth, evidently furious by that fella's antics.
What is up with his reaction?!
People would misunderstand him to be someone lunatic if he acted like that!!
Ahem!
But first things first!
He cleared his throat as he stood up, his hands clasped behind his back as he tried to regain his dignity as the principal.
”Duan Li, I've looked at your student profile and found out that your mother is Meng Yue?” he asked directly.
”Yes..” replied Duan Li in a small voice, still scared to be left on the same room with the principal alone.
”Good! Could you convince her to somehow rejoin the subjugation squad? We have spread our knights thin these past few years. According to our statistics, the number of monsters per season have increased to ten times than the last few years!”
The principal said with a solemn voice as he look outside the window, his expression serious.
”At first, we didn't know what caused these monsters to multiply at such a rapid pace and becoming more violent at that. But perhaps.. now that I've seen that footage.. hais.. maybe it is somehow connected to these.. abominations..” he sighed as he shook his head.
”From what I saw in that footage, it seems like you will be the hope for us.. But you do know that, once this gets out.. you will be hunted down by some people?” he asked Duan Li without looking back.
”Yes.. I know..” replied Duan Li as he looked at the floor, realizing this matter as well.
”Are you prepared?” asked the principal once more, but this time, his voice sounded more firm and solemn.
Recalling the whole lifetime memories of his future self, the fall of the empire and the death of his own mother to those wretched abomination, Duan Li's eyes gleamed with extreme determination as the air around him heated up vividly.
”I am!” he answered.
Boom!
His answer is but a single, simple sentence. Yet, the moment he uttered that single sentence with his full conviction, the lands seemed to quake and the seas were rattled. The conviction and confidence in that single sentence of his, had unknowingly changed something within his body.
A change brought forth by the mysterious pearl!
...
After a few more talks with the principal regarding the memories of his future self and the state of the empire before the incident, the door was suddenly opened as Wang Guozhi strolled in with Ling Yu and Xiahou Yu in tow.
His expression still looked apprehensive towards the principal as he threw side glances towards the body of Duan Li, seeming to try and find if there are any marks of the latter being whipped.
At the sight of this, the principal's veins popped out as he barked;
”How now, becoming more brazen eh? Do you even know how to knock properly?! And that face of yours!”
Flash!
A black whip materialized on his right hand. He then swiftly flicked it creating that 'pak!' whipping sound as it hit the table.
Seeing this, Wang Guozhi jumped up in a fright as he tried to escape using the door.
However, before he could even turn the door knob, he already found his body to be unable to move at all!
”T-this! spatial locking!” he shrieked out in a horrified manner as he sweated profusely and his heart palpitated in fear.
The principal then moved his hands to perform a series of incantation gestures.
'Space magic: Third-tier space dimensional transfer magic!'
Wongggg!
Both Wang Guozhi and the principal suddenly disappeared from the room.
”...” everyone.
They have been relocated into another dimension!
Silence..
”Whe-where are they?” asked Xiahou Yu whom was hiding behind Ling Yu at the moment with her head poking out as she look left and right with extreme alertness.
If a whip were to suddenly strike at her, she had resolved herself to bite at it!
”Hais... It seems that.. Wang Guozhi is done for..”
Ling Yu sighed as she shook her head looking towards that empty space where Wang Guozhi once stood with an expression full of pity.
That fella would definitely be in for a round of whipping by the principal for sure!
...
After some time..
Wonggg!
The two people returned from the other dimension.
Padah!
”...” everyone.
Wang Guozhi fell to the floor with his body covered in many streaks of peculiar bruises as he convulsed and twitched on the floor. That long streak marks on his clothes and the butt region of his pants..
