Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 518: Chapter 517: Arrogant Third Middle School

The college entrance examination is almost upon us, and everyone is eyeing the guaranteed admission spots. Our No. 7 High School hasn’t received any news about guaranteed admissions, yet No. 3 High School has already taken seventeen spots. How can this not cause an uproar?

The crowd kept raising their voices, and several faces from No. 3 High School on the stage furrowed their brows.

The young man with acne slapped the table and shouted angrily, ”If you want to participate, sign up. If you don’t want to, then shut up. We at No. 3 High School took seventeen guaranteed admission spots because we have the strength. What are you unhappy about? We even showed mercy by leaving you any spots at all, or else you wouldn’t have gotten a single one!”

”Who the hell do you think you are!” Someone below finally lost their patience and burst out, ”No. 3 High School is so great, huh? Everything is given to you. Then what are we supposed to do? Might as well just live off the wind from the northwest!”

”Hmph, live off the northwest wind?” The acne-faced boy snorted coldly, ”If you’re incapable, you don’t even deserve to have the northwest wind. We from No. 3 High School have the strength; what does No. 7 High School have? Why should you compete with us for guaranteed admission spots?”

”Yeah, the seventeen guaranteed admission spots we got from No. 3 High School aren’t for nothing. Every year the top scorers of the city’s college entrance exam come from our school, whether in humanities or sciences. Our valedictorians are even likely to be the top scorers of the entire province. What about you?”

”How many of our students have won national awards? Mathematical Olympiads, national essay competitions, youth science and technology contests, national youth sports championships. What does No. 7 High School have?”

”Hmph, you can’t compare in studies, nor in any other talents, and yet you from No. 7 High School still want to compete with us for guaranteed admission spots? What bases do you have?”

After a round of angry outbursts from No. 3 High School, the people from No. 7 High School suddenly fell silent. Despite their unwillingness to accept it, they had to admit that No. 3 High School did indeed have strong capabilities.

”You didn’t have to come over here to collect registration fees, though!” a student couldn’t help but say, ”A registration fee of three hundred yuan, is this some sort of extortion?”

”We are holding a summary meeting, which is to impart study experiences to you. Learning methods and experiences are priceless. For those who understand their value, they’d willingly pay three thousand yuan, let alone three hundred,” the acne-faced boy retorted coldly, ”Forget it, I see that’s all there is to No. 7 High School. No wonder it produced something like Destiny Martial Arts, just a bunch of bad students with well-developed limbs but simple minds, practically a dumping ground that harbors filth and grime!”

At these words, Su Yang, sitting at the back, couldn’t help but frown.

In fact, he didn’t really care much about the squabbles between these students. Academic matters, anyhow, were not Su Yang’s forte. The debate over academics, not much either. Moreover, the issue of guaranteed admission spots was also of little concern to Su Yang.

But still, you can say what you want, but you shouldn’t insult people, right?

I, the founder of Destiny Martial Arts, am sitting right here, and you just bluntly say that my club’s members are just bad students with well-developed limbs but simple minds, and that my place is a waste dump? That’s really bullying, isn’t it?

The whole classroom fell silent, and many turned to look at Su Yang. The people of No. 7 High School now held Su Yang in awe. Was Su Yang going to tolerate someone insulting Destiny Martial Arts right in front of him?

Su Yang didn’t actually want to concern himself with these little grievances among outstanding students, but since everyone was looking at him, he couldn’t play dead.

Clearing his throat, Su Yang said, ”This fellow student, has Destiny Martial Arts offended you in any way? Why resort to such hurtful remarks? Who said that all members of Destiny Martial Arts are bad students? That’s quite irresponsible of you to say!”

The youth with acne paused, frowning, ”What, are you a member of Destiny Martial Arts?”

”He is the founder of Destiny Martial Arts!” a student from No. 7 High School declared proudly.

At these words, the people from No. 3 High School were taken aback; they had all heard of Su Yang’s notorious reputation.

”You... you... you...” The acne-faced boy’s lips quivered with fear; the members of the Martial Arts Club from No. 3 High School had all been dealt with harshly by Su Yang.

Smiling, Su Yang said, ”It’s alright, speak your mind. I won’t lay a finger on you. After all, you are an excellent student!”

The boy with acne exhaled with relief but still seemed wary; in a low voice, he said, ”A student’s duty should be to study. You... you fight and kill all day long, not taking your studies seriously, what kind of... what kind of students are you?”

”But that doesn’t mean you can call us bad students,” Su Yang objected, ”We admit we’re not good at studying. However, our character isn’t bad. Besides, our passion just doesn’t lie in our studies—is that wrong? In this day and age, having a personality isn’t a mistake, right? If we were all good at studying as well, then tell me, would your No. 3 High School still have a chance at any guaranteed admission spots?”

Rendered speechless, the acne-covered boy was silent for a long while before he murmured resentfully, ”All you people, even if you study seriously, it’s pointless—do you think you can compete with us for guaranteed spots? Hmph, you, the founder, always end up at the bottom of your exams, the bottom of the whole city. So what if you can fight, what if you can bully people? This society values intellect, having well-developed limbs but a simple mind is no different from a brute beast!”

”Hey, now I really can’t agree with you!” Su Yang frowned, ”So what if I’m at the bottom of the exams? How does that make me simple-minded?”

”You don’t know anything!” Zhao Qiupeng couldn’t restrain himself, ”Although Xiao Yang hasn’t studied seriously, his medical expertise is very impressive. Right now the country has several projects researching the medical techniques Xiaoyang originated; does that sound like he’s simple-minded?”

”Exactly, Su Yang is our pride at No. 7 High School!”

”What are you saying, can you from No. 3 High School bring forward such a talent?”

The students from No. 7 High School started to get riled up, and the people from No. 3 High School were provoked as well. The boy with acne shouted angrily, ”We don’t know the actual situation of outside matters, we have no say in that. After all, who can be certain about that medical expertise, who really came up with it? But you can’t even master the content of these textbooks, yet you create medical techniques? Who would believe that?”

Anxious, Zhao Qiupeng said, ”Xiao Yang originated that, what right do you have to disbelieve it?”

”Pshaw, you can’t even learn this little bit in the textbooks properly, and you’re out creating medical techniques? Stop trying to fool us!” one person from No. 3 High School yelled.

Both sides erupted into an argument. Su Yang furrowed his eyebrows; this wasn’t the outcome he wanted. What happened here, the argument turned back and forth, and now it somehow ended up focusing on him. His intention was only to break up the fight.

After a good while of bickering, the pimpled boy suddenly yelled, ”Enough with this nonsense! If you’re so capable, then come to the summary meeting. We’ll have a knowledge quiz on the spot; you from No. 7 High School can pick someone to come and compete with us on the spot!”
