Chapter 55 – Gifted

“Huh?” Before the tutor’s eyes was a messy, hardly recognizable classroom. It was obvious a fight took place not long ago. He noticed that he was the focus of the whole class’ eyes. He slightly frowned letting the class know he was unpleased.

“The Tutor is going to lose it!”

‘Oh god, Xiao Qi is going to make it sound way worse than it really was. Ye Wei is in deep trouble!’ The students thought while looking at their tutor’s ashened face, but they were all too timid to speak up.

“Ha! Nobody can help you this time Ye Wei!” Xiao Qi was glad to see the tutor’s angry face, thinking Ye Wei’s punishment would be exceptionally heavy.

Seeing that the tutor was going as ask who was responsible for the mess, Xiao Qi adjusted his shirt and rehearsed the allegations in his head. He was ready to report Ye Wei’s crimes in detail, that may not be completely accurate.

Xiao Qi was impatiently waiting but the tutor did not ask anything about the mess. The class tutor’s eyes stayed on the broken tables and chairs for merely a second before he shifted his attention to Ye Wei.

The chubby tutor respectfully looked at Ye Wei and approvingly nodded.

He did not like the state of the room and he did not know Ye Wei was responsible for it. But he knew he was looking at Master Yi’s legacy apprentice and could not wait to show respect.

The reason why he was late to the class meeting was that he was held up in another meeting, a meeting with the administrators of South Star Academy. There he learned that Ye Wei had been recruited by the renowned Runemaster, Master Yi.

“Tutor!” Xiao Qi was tired of waiting for the tutor to ask the question, so he enthusiastically stood up while coldly staring at Ye Wei.

“Not only did Ye Wei defiantly skipped school for three days in a row, but he attacked me from my blind spot with a sucker punch in this very room! He broke the school rules! Please serve justice!”

“The whole class is my alibi!” With his twisted sense of right and wrong, Xiao Qi presented his claims. His stomach was still hurting, but his mind felt eased. He was sure the tutor would avenge him swiftly and forcefully.

The tutor of junior three was known to be bad tempered. In the past, even when Xiao Qi and the martial boys broke a less serious school rule, this man would still punish them as if they committed serious offences. He did this to make an example of them and to make sure they didn’t do it again.

“Skipping school? And he attacked you?” The tutor confusingly looked at Xiao Qi, his eyebrows curled up as he frowned. Then he madly replied to Xiao Qi with a few questions, “Xiao Qi, you are the strongest student in this class, the one and only five star Student! And Ye Wei? Who doesn’t know that he is a one star Student? He attacked you?”

“You have let me down!”

“You insult me with your lies! Don’t you have better things to spend your time on, other than lying?”

The tutor’s scolding echoed in the classroom and it startled Xiao Qi and the rest of the class. They were very confused why the tutor would take Ye Wei’s side before further investigation. They all knew that Ye Wei skipped school for three days. This favoritism was very much uncalled for.

Xiao Qi couldn’t believe the strict class tutor favored Ye Wei, he paused his pursuit.

“But even if he couldn’t or didn’t attack me, he still skipped school for three whole days! If you don’t believe me, you can ask the substitute teacher!” Xiao Qi grinded his teeth after he spoke as he was not comfortable being the victim of unfair treatment.
