Chapter 40: The Right Way of Dealing With Bullies (1/2)

”Don't you have something else to say?” Reyes glanced at Calvin, ”Your seat will be beside Ziya. The seating in this class is determined by the lottery. But since that will only happen after the midterms, I will randomly choose a seat for you, so you go ahead and seat beside Ziya for now. After the lottery, I will naturally change your seat.”

Calvin nodded his head, he seemed unconcerned that he was sitting at the second to the last row. Back when he was still a student, Calvin liked seats that were closer to the back since he could secretly munch on some snacks while the class was going on, and even take a sneaky nap.

Taking off his backpack, he carried it towards his desk while the whole class was looking at him.

Their gazes upon him were quite strange, some were excited, some were filled with malice, while some were filled with disinterest.

As for those that had malice against him, they seemed to be coming from the students who witnessed him protecting Ziya earlier.

Calvin stopped next to his seat.

The student sitting on the last row behind Calvin had placed both of his shoes on Calvin's chair.

”Oh? I'm sorry, I didn't expect that there would be a new student today.”

The boy slowly lowered his feet.

Calvin gave him a placid smile.

But as he sat down, the boy who was lowering his feet placed both of his feet on Calvin's chair once again, causing his shoes to hit Calvin's pure white uniform, leaving behind a dark muddy mark of his shoe on Calvin's clothing.

”Oh! I'm sorry! I instinctively put my feet on the chair. I really didn't want to do it, it's just a habit of mine.” The boy made a rather exaggerated noise. Calvin made a sidelong glance at the boy and proceeded to ignore him. Taking a look at Reyes, he seemed to have gone senile for he was ignoring the bullying that had just happened in front of him.

”All right, quickly get to your seat. We're going to start the first period now. Take your math textbooks, please. As always, sharing is not allowed! If you didn't bring your own issued textbooks, then it's not my fault anymore. It's your fault for neglecting it!” Reyes announced.

”Okay...” Calvin softly uttered. His expression remained calm and placid in the eyes of every student that were staring at him at his moment. Taking out his textbook, everyone expected him to take out a handkerchief to wipe the stain on his uniform, but instead of taking a handkerchief...

He took out his thick math textbook and slammed it on the face of the student behind him!

Bang!

The textbook shattered upon impact on the student's head. The class turned silent. Even Reyes was astonished by the loud sound and was looking at Calvin in disbelief.

”Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't want to do it. It's just a habit of mine...” Calvin apologized with a smile. Afterwards, he then sat down on his chair and acted like how a student should act.

”You... How dare you hit a fellow classmate?! Come here! Come over here!” Reyes trembled. No one knew if he was shivering due to shock or anger.

”All right...” Calvin obediently replied.

He made a sidelong glance at Ziya and realized that she was looking at him in horror.

She really didn't expect that Calvin would do something like this.

The pristine math textbook issued to the students in this school was now scraps of paper on the ground. Traces of blood could be seen on the paper, obviously. The impact was quite strong since the student that Calvin slapped with the textbook was now unconscious on the floor.

Everything happened so fast. It has only been a few minutes since Calvin entered the classroom to the student being slapped with a thick textbook to him collapsing onto the ground.
