Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Entering the Secret Realm, Assassination Plan

At this moment, Old Liu’s vision went black. Only one thought echoed in his mind.

Stop them! While there’s still time, stop them immediately!!

However, he had just taken a step forward when he snapped back to reality, stopping in his tracks.

Chen Ye, he was his student too!

If he successfully stopped Tang Zichen, it would undoubtedly harm Chen Ye.

Moreover, it might even endanger Chen Ye’s life.

Old Liu was well aware of the dangers in the secret realm!

Perhaps other teachers could prioritise high-performing students, treating the lower-performing ones as burdens or trash, but not Old Liu, he was a responsible person.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have intentionally placed Zhao Zheng in the same dorm as Chen Ye and even instructed Zhao Zheng to encourage his classmates, taking on a leadership role.

In Old Liu’s eyes, all thirty-plus students in the class were his students.

Maybe there was a distinction between high-performing and low-performing students in his mind.

But he couldn’t bring himself to consider only the high-performing students and disregard the future and lives of the low-performing ones.

So in the end, Old Liu could only watch helplessly, doing nothing.

“Teacher Liu, what’s going on?”

A female teacher spoke up, “Do you know about Tang Zichen’s choice? Regarding her pairing with Chen Hui’s son, the little guy with the C-level talent?”

It seemed this female teacher had some issues with Old Liu.

Asking this question at this time was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.

“I… didn’t know,” Old Liu helplessly replied.

The deputy principal immediately said, “Then why don’t you stop them now? Tang Zichen is the most promising student in the eyes of the principal, and you let her team up with the student with the lowest talent? This is simply playing the piano in a chaotic manner!”

Old Liu hesitated for a moment and said, “Principal Zhang, let’s just forget it… Zichen is a very determined child, and there’s probably no convincing her once she makes up her mind.”

“That can’t be allowed! It’s too late already.”

Suddenly, a teacher checked his watch and said, “Time… is up.”

As his words fell, all the freshmen on the playground disappeared.

Watching the students being transported into the secret realm, Old Liu felt a sense of loss.

At this moment, the deputy principal’s phone suddenly rang. He answered the call, and soon his face changed drastically.

“What? Such a thing actually happened… No, Tang Zichen and the others have already been transported… I understand.”

After hanging up the phone, the deputy principal’s expression was extremely ugly.

A teacher asked, “Principal Zhang, what happened?”

“Just got news!”

Principal Zhang didn’t conceal anything and said seriously, “Several countries are afraid of having another Ms. Qin on our side and don’t want Tang Zichen to grow. So, they secretly planned an assassination, and their new students in the secret realm will join forces to assassinate Tang Zichen!”

This news shocked everyone present.

Old Liu’s expression changed dramatically, and his face turned pale.

“Are they crazy?”

A teacher angrily scolded, “Isn’t the threat of monsters enough? In this situation, do we still need infighting among us humans?”

Everyone was both angry and anxious. They were well aware of Tang Zichen’s importance.

Once those countries’ sinister plan succeeded, trapping Tang Zichen permanently in the secret realm, they couldn’t imagine how furious the principal would be when he returned.

Even without the principal’s intervention, the condemnation from netizens across the country would be enough to ruin their careers, leaving them condemned for life.

Moreover, Tang Zichen had chosen a teammate with the lowest talent.

This time, the situation was likely to be very grim…

Thinking of this, many teachers looked at Old Liu with dissatisfaction.

The deputy principal even shouted, “Liu Zhenjiang, look at what you’ve done! If, after 20 days, Tang Zichen can’t come back, even if I can spare you, the principal won’t be able to!”

Leaving behind these words, the deputy principal snorted and left. Other school leaders and teachers also left one after another.

In the end, only Old Liu was left on the playground, looking pale and horrified, as if struck by lightning.

…

Chen Ye held Tang Zichen’s small hand, it felt like holding a piece of soft and boneless milk candy, delicate and tender.

When the moment arrived at 10:50, he felt a flash of white light, and he and Tang Zichen appeared in an unknown space.

This place was indeed the wilderness. Apart from flowers, trees, and hills, there was no sign of human presence around.

The sky was covered in dark clouds, casting a gloomy atmosphere with no trace of sunlight.

This environment was very suitable for the presence of zombies.

“Is this the secret realm?”

Chen Ye turned his head and looked around. Except for him and Tang Zichen, there was no sign of other classmates.

“It seems that after being transported into the secret realm, each team is randomly assigned a location to disperse everyone,” Chen Ye analysed.

Without Chen Ye’s analysis, this was an obvious fact. So…

“Can you let go of your hand now?” Tang Zichen said lightly.

“Huh? Oh… I almost forgot.”

Chen Ye remained composed and released Tang Zichen’s hand.

“Class leader, what should we do next?” Chen Ye asked.

“Follow what the teacher said, let’s first look for and collect food,” Tang Zichen replied.

Chen Ye nodded in agreement. In the wilderness, food and supplies were the foundation for survival. Even if he could easily defeat zombies, without food, he couldn’t last for 20 days.

“There’s a small forest ahead, class leader, should we go in and take a look?” Chen Ye suggested.

The surroundings were barren, but there was a small forest in the distance that might have some food.

Tang Zichen naturally didn’t object, and the two headed towards the forest.

When they reached the edge of the forest, Tang Zichen took out her weapon and held it in her hand, looking vigilant.

Her weapon was sharp alloy throwing knives, a total of six!

Given Tang Zichen’s current mental strength, these were the most suitable weapons for her abilities.

Just standing at a distance, she could manipulate the throwing knives with her telekinesis to kill enemies.

Tang Zichen’s telekinesis was not as miraculous as imagined.

At the moment, she could only control objects, like an invisible hand extending from her.

As for directly damaging an enemy’s central nervous system? Sorry, her telekinesis couldn’t penetrate physical objects, and she couldn’t perform precise operations, such as infiltrating an enemy’s nose to cause damage.

Even now, Tang Zichen couldn’t use telekinesis to make herself fly.

Observing Tang Zichen’s vigilance, Chen Ye thought it was better to be safe and took out the wooden sword from his luggage, holding it in his hand.

His current strength was formidable, strong enough to stroll through the first secret realm.

But being cautious was never wrong until he was completely invincible. Tang Zichen noticed this.

When Chen Ye opened the suitcase to take out the wooden sword, she saw that it was full of bottles and jars, and there was no trace of the alloy weapons that were custom-made at school.

Instantly, an expression of surprise appeared on Tang Zichen’s calm face.

“Where are your weapons?”

“Huh, isn’t this it?” Chen Ye raised the wooden sword in his hand.

“I’m asking about alloy weapons!!”
