Chapter 161: A Surprising Substitute (1/2)

As Arthur expected, the assembly went on several roans fro about the humidity and how bored they were

Eventually, the assembly came to an end and everyone was allowed to leave and have what little remained of their first break

Arthur and his friends made a trip to the infirmary so that Arthur could say hello to Eh she wasn't around so they just made their way towards their lockers instead

The area around their lockers was packed with students, it seeet a snack and run off to enjoy their break before lessons started again, which caused a rather unsightly crowd to forroup thinned out as the horde of students quickly lers behind, and Arthur's group

Arthur and Holly ru that he had a bottoreat, and our first class of the year just had to be ht after"

Arthur spent ti a conversation while eating their snacks

"Hey, it's the nerd squad!" A rather grating voice echoed down the hall

Arthur's group all kneho that voice belonged to It was Vasco, who just happened to be the roupies

Arthur closed his newly organised locker after grabbing his books for maths and a snack He locked it and turned to see Vasco walking up to theroupies Ruslan hione to his locker without saying a word

Vasco seemed to notice this, and an irritable expression foronna say a word to him?" Vasco turned around and taunted Ruslan "Is it because he beat your ass last year?"

Ruslan didn't respond verbally, choosing to instead flip Vasco the bird before slaet if you're scared It looks like the scrawny dork worked out" Vasco continued to taunt Ruslan, "I bet he'd stoain"

Ruslan didn't respond to his provocations this time either, so Vasco called hih for Arthur and his group to hear,it was likely that Ruslan had also heard this, but he still didn't respond

Vasco clicked his tongue before he and his groupies quickly grabbed what they needed out of their lockers Vasco threw a nasty glare at Arthur before sto faster to catch up with Ruslan

"Well, it seems someone's more docile this year" Arthur muttered out loud

He looked around to see that both of his friends weren't as surprised as he was

"That video of you throwing hiround sort of became viral over the holidays" Quinn said, "Haven't you seen any of the memes?"

"No, I haven't really paid ," Arthur responded "I haven't really talked to anybody besides you two either"

"Oh, well Basically, Ruslan beca that video around I heard even the year tens that they bullied had started

"That doesn't sound like it wouldwouldn't that uess you're right," Quinn shrugged "No idea then"

'I guess his father took ht to hih'

The group spoke for a while before the bell inevitably rang, and eventually, they weretheir way towards their first class

"Oh yeah, who is our teacher for sports?" Quinn asked, "I heard the fatty got fired"

"I think I re on the schedule that our teacher is soht be a new teacher"

"I guess we'll find out next class" Quinn retorted, with a slight groan after re that they had sports after their maths class

"Nyilas?" Arthurtone "Isn't that so as a sports teacher?"
