Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 17
Chapter 17: Trained Not to Laugh
Over an hour later, the transport plane landed in a campus in Suyang City.
This was the former site of Wuda University. Wuda University was initially established here before moving to the Magic Capital.
The students disembarked from the transport plane, glancing around. Although the buildings here were quite old, they were well-maintained, giving off a clean appearance.
School leaders were standing on the sports field, welcoming everyone.
Notably, there was a girl standing next to the school leaders.
This girl was outstanding in appearance, physique, and temperament. Even standing behind several school leaders, everyone’s attention was immediately drawn to her.
Seeing her, many couldn’t help but think: Some people are just born protagonists!
Moreover, this girl’s appearance was familiar to many.
She was none other than Tang Zichen, who had recently become famous nationwide!
The second person in Xia Country’s history to successfully bond with S2.
“Students, you’ve all worked hard on the journey!”
The leading school leader had a somewhat solemn expression. “Temporarily relocating everyone here was inevitable. The conditions here are a bit simpler. Please bear with us for now. Once the situation stabilises in the Magic Capital, we’ll return.”
“Knowing that you’ve all had a tiring journey, I won’t say much. Dinner is prepared in the cafeteria. Go eat first, rest well tonight, and classes will officially start tomorrow.”
With these words, the school leader turned and left to attend to other matters.
True to the spirit of Wuda University, there were no unnecessary words of encouragement or motivational talk. Chen Ye appreciated this style.
After the school leader left, Tang Zichen stayed behind. She was, after all, a student, not a leader.
“Teacher, Tang Zichen reporting to you!”
“Good!”
Teacher Liu smiled, his eyes full of appreciation. “Go join the group.”
At this moment, the sun had already set.
Teacher Liu said, “Students, follow me. I’ll take you to the cafeteria.”
…
In the cafeteria, Chen Ye stood in line and got some food, found a seat, and took out his phone.
On the transport plane, everyone had their phones turned off.
As soon as he turned on his phone, he was bombarded with notifications, mostly missed calls from his mom and dad.
They were probably worried about his safety after learning about the situation in the Magic Capital.
Chen Ye sent a message to his parents, letting them know he was safe, and then focused on eating.
Suddenly, a loud, rapid heartbeat echoed from the front.
Dong dong dong, dong dong dong…
The sound was like the roar of a V8 engine, shaking people’s eardrums.
Everyone in the cafeteria heard it.
All eyes turned to the source of the sound.
The one producing such a heartbeat was undoubtedly Qian Fugui.
At this moment, Tang Zichen, who had just sat down across from him, furrowed her delicate eyebrows, looking puzzled as she watched Qian Fugui.
The source of the laughter was the first one to burst out.
Then, laughter filled the cafeteria.
“Thump, thump, thump… this heartbeat sound is really… thump, thump, thump…”
“Haha… damn, stop with the geese… I can’t stop laughing because of your thump.”
“Is Qian Fugui interested in Tang Zichen? Haha, this talent is really amazing!”
“Hehe, no wonder the teachers said before that S7 is a big pit. Today I finally witnessed it!”
“Let’s not forget, this heartbeat sound is exactly like the engine sound of my BMW A6L. It can really scare people!”
“Indeed a big pit. If this guy goes into battle with such a teammate, won’t it attract all the monsters once he gets nervous?”
…
These people’s mouths were truly venomous.
Qian Fugui’s face turned bright red instantly. He put down his chopsticks and rushed out of the cafeteria.
He had no face to continue eating.
Seeing Qian Fugui leave, some righteous Zhuge Liang spoke up, criticising everyone, “We’re all classmates; you guys went too far.”
People realised they had indeed gone too far and fell silent.
Chen Ye sighed.
Although he felt sorry for Qian Fugui, he had to admit that what one of the students said earlier was right. A talent like Qian Fugui was indeed a big pit.
If you couldn’t control your heartbeat, it was best not to go to the battlefield in your lifetime; otherwise, you might really harm your teammates.
Afterward, Chen Ye looked at Tang Zichen.
He thought that with such an event, Tang Zichen, as one of the protagonists, would be somewhat uneasy or show other emotions.
However, there was nothing!
She was quietly eating, her beautiful face showing no sign of disturbance.
This girl seemed to have an exceptionally strong heart, with a temperament and mentality far beyond ordinary people.
A while later, many senior students, looking tired, also came to the cafeteria.
Seeing their appearance, it seemed they had just arrived.
This indicated that the new students were evacuated first, and the senior students followed.
Witnessing this scene, those who had been dissatisfied with the school’s favouritism toward Tang Zichen dispelled their discontent.
…
After dinner, the teachers hurriedly arranged dormitories.
Due to the limited space in the old campus, they had to squeeze in temporarily.
Originally, Wuda University’s dormitory standard was two people per room, each with a private bathroom.
Now, they had to squeeze four people into a room, and the whole floor shared a bathroom…
The conditions were a bit rough.
But no one complained.
After all, the school leaders didn’t want to make things so complicated either. Suddenly moving was already troublesome enough.
It was said that the school president and some powerful school leaders had gone to the front line to support, and they might spend the night fighting monsters.
And these students could safely stay in the rear. What reason was there to be dissatisfied?
“Zhao Zheng, Chen Ye, Qian Fugui, Lu Yong… you four, live in Room 203.”
Teacher Liu arranged, “Go and put away your luggage first. Rest early tonight, and formal classes will start tomorrow.”
Upon hearing this, the four began to prepare to move their things.
“Zhao Zheng, wait a moment!”
Teacher Liu kept Zhao Zheng, the young man who had a brief conversation with Chen Ye.
After Chen Ye and the others left, Zhao Zheng asked, “Teacher, is there something on your mind?”
“Of course not!”
Zhao Zheng earnestly said, “I trust the teacher’s arrangement and absolutely obey.”
The words were beautiful.
As for what he truly thought, only he knew.
Teacher Liu smiled and then stated the reason, “Although the hero talents bonded by Chen Ye and the others are not good, the teacher doesn’t want to give up on them so easily.”
“This year, besides Tang Zichen, your hero talent is the best among the students. Additionally, the teacher heard that you were the hardest working student in your previous high school. The teacher arranged for you to live with Chen Ye and the others, hoping that you can take the lead and urge them to work hard.”
“As for your efforts, the teacher will remember. Consider this teacher owing you a favour.”
“Teacher, you’re too kind.”
Zhao Zheng quickly said, “I’m willing to help my classmates. I’m happy to do it!”
