Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 74: The slap in the face should be severe, and the candy should be sweet (three more chapters, please read later)
This was somewhat unexpected to the inspector, and in an instant he seemed to realize that he might have made a wrong judgment.

No matter how good a school is, there will always be poor students. In every grade at New Taipei First High School, there are always a few children who rank at the bottom of the entrance exam. They are smart troublemakers, and it is common for them to pick up bad habits after a summer vacation and bring them to this sacred school.

But in Class Zero, no matter how you think about it...it's not right.

But this kid is too jumpy and doesn't know the rules, so he should be beaten.

"You said you wanted to confront me. What are you confronting me about? I pulled the cigarette butt out from your bedside, and the evidence is irrefutable!"

"It's ridiculous to call this ironclad evidence!"

Li Yan's voice became even louder, which stunned everyone present.

"Can you rule out the possibility that this was deliberately put here by someone else? Or rule out the possibility that it was left here by the previous owner of the bed?"

"Others deliberately put it here, why don't you put it there?"

“The victim-blaming theory is ridiculous!”

This sound was even louder, and people from every lunch break room poked their heads out.

"Shit, it's Li Yan!" Lin Heng, who was watching the fight at the door, was shocked and passed the message to the 403 brothers behind him.

"We found this place precisely because we received an anonymous tip from someone else. They saw someone smoking in the toilet of the first grade teaching building with their own eyes, and then they found the cigarette butts from you. Are you still stubborn?"

"Your logic is ridiculous!"

Damn it... The inspector's eyes twitched and his chest heaved with anger.

"Did this person see who was smoking?"

“I wouldn’t recognize it even if I looked at it.”

"The toilet in the first grade is for the first grade students. If I go to the toilet in the third grade to pee, will I pass the high school entrance exam this year?"

Suddenly there was a burst of laughter - from the 403rd Brotherhood, and they immediately shut up.

"Have you ever thought that the previous owner was worried that the matter would be exposed, so he was looking for a reason to put the blame on us?"

"Sweet talk, whatever you say is what it is?"

"So what do you say?"

"Boy, do you understand any rules or discipline?"

Li Yan sneered, "Do you have the final say over the discipline and rules of New Taipei No. 1 Middle School?"

"Then..." The inspector realized that he almost said the wrong thing and calmed down instantly, "What do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything. If you don't understand, I'll teach you. Whoever questions it should provide evidence. It's you who should prove that I'm wrong, not me who should prove that I'm right."

Damn, I've run into a tough guy. The inspector gradually calmed down, "Boy, my evidence is here, how do you explain it?"

"You can call this evidence?" Li Yan spread her hands. "Does New Taipei First High School regularly inspect the legs of the beds used for lunch breaks every year? I mean, they peel off the black plastic cover and use tweezers to pinch the inside of the hollow iron column."

"Uh, no." The dormitory manager answered for him and received a glare from the supervisor teacher.

"So who made the mistake depends on when you check, right?"

"Li Yan, what do you want to do!" The inspecting teacher slammed the table in anger, shocking the heads that popped out of the lunch room so much that they shrank back.

"I want to ask you, what do you want to do?" Li Yan raised his hand and gently placed it on the table.

The scene was silent again, and the inspecting teacher's expression changed wildly.

"That's not how you establish your authority," Li Yan sighed. "It's easy to get irrefutable evidence. Let's send the cigarette butts you just found for testing to see if they are fresh from the past week or if there's my DNA on them."

"This..." The inspector obviously didn't expect the student to reach this point.

"Of course, I can tell you very clearly that I didn't. If the result came from an earlier time, or I was framed, it would be very ugly if such a big fuss was made."

There were faint traces of sweat on the inspector's white shirt. He picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.

"Excuse me, teacher. I really hate it when people slander me, especially when it's illogical."

"What do you want?"

"Nothing. I told you before that getting me out of bed has already damaged my reputation. Either you go find the real 'culprit' who left the cigarette butt, or you just shame yourself and apologize to me, and then this matter will be over."

Apologize? I was trying so hard to establish my authority, but a young boy forced me to apologize?

So many first-grade students are watching!
A young boy... No, this is not a young boy at all. The inspector took a few deep breaths and whispered, "Li Yan, right? It was indeed my misjudgment. You see, I wanted to set an example, but it turned out like this. It will be difficult to control in the future. What if it really..."

"This is your business. I can't control it. You should think about how to be responsible before doing anything."

The middle-aged man's white shirt was soaked and his face turned blue and white.

"Okay, I'll keep my word. You've apologized, so I won't embarrass you. I think you came here for a reason, so you can give those nervous guys a heads up."

Li Yan wiped the sweat off his forehead with a piece of paper and said, "Since cigarette butts really exist, there must be smokers in this school. You can catch a few typical examples and put the old things aside. Then let everyone check the covers at the foot of their beds. Everyone will forget about this matter when they are busy."

At this point, the bell for the end of lunch break rang. Li Yan shook her head and threw the paper into the trash can:

"Being angry will shorten your life. It's so annoying."

Looking at the students who were running out of the hall with suppressed cheers, the inspector let out a long sigh and sat down dejectedly on his chair.

Is this a first-year junior high school student?

He wanted to be angry but couldn't, wanted to swallow his anger but couldn't, "Now these kids have become spirits."

At this moment, Li Yan, who was being flattered by her roommate, was only thinking:

It's so annoying that I put so much effort into this but my scores didn't improve at all!

Li Yan became the first topic of conversation after the new school year started at New Taipei First Middle School. Everyone looked at him with a bit of awe for some reason, and some fanatics were even filled with admiration.

"This is wrong. I am not someone who creates confrontational emotions, nor do I represent any noble rebellious will, nor do I speak for certain troublemakers."

Li Yan said this after returning to the dormitory, and received high praise from Liang Tiancheng and unanimous affirmation from other roommates.

While Li Yan is correcting his image here, he can't stop someone from using him as a banner over there.

Wang Hang was looking at his four younger brothers standing in a row with a sour face.

They were in a small garden behind the first-grade teaching building, which was originally used to park bicycles. Later, when a bicycle parking lot was built, a tree pit was made and it was turned into a simple garden.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this place is sparsely populated. Not many people would come here for activities.

It also became Wang Hang's secret base for educating his younger brothers and assigning them tasks.

"I'll just ask you once, do you smoke?"

"Brother, you know me well. I will never do anything that you say is not allowed." said the dark-skinned and thin boy in the lower bunk of Li Yan.

"Leopard, you are the biggest suspect. Don't think I don't know."

"Brother, it's unfair! It must be the group of people in the third grade! We just ate a few candies..."

"Humph." Wang Hang raised his head. "You must always remember who my father is. You can follow me and do some things, but if you embarrass me, don't blame me for turning my back on you."

"How could this be?" The tall man who was still responsible for carrying the bag laughed.

"No? If Li Yan hadn't come forward today, I think you guys would have had a bad reputation. You are the worst freshman in New Taipei No. 1 Middle School. I don't want to be around people like that."

"Brother, should we... thank Li Yan?" asked the boy nicknamed "Leopard".

"This Li Yan is very capable. I have a good impression of him." Wang Hang began to pace. "The most important thing is that he helped you, which also helped me."

"This is called giving you face, Mr. Hang." A sturdy boy with a crew cut replied.

"Big Bear, please stop interrupting me when I'm expressing my opinion. Li Yan helped me, so it should be considered as a vote... what was it?"

"Surrender!" added the thin, pale boy with glasses.

"Very good, Baihe, we must win Li Yan over and give him the title of Lion King. This way, the five heavenly generals of lion, tiger, leopard, bear and crane will gather together, and we can unify New Taipei First Middle School and achieve hegemony!"

"Okay! Big Brother, I will go and win him over tomorrow, and he can sleep on top of me during his lunch break."

"Why are you so impatient? You are a leopard, not a monkey," Wang Hang rolled his eyes in disdain. "This Li Yan was specially recruited into Class Zero for physical education. On the first day of school, he confronted the teacher in the teaching department. Do you think... he is an ordinary person?"

"Incredible."

"It's enough to know. Find out more about his situation. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle..."

"Not dangerous!" the boy with glasses nicknamed "White Crane" added again.

"...Very good, Bai He." Wang Hang waved his hand, "Go find a way to find out about Li Yan, and be nicer."

　I originally wanted to wait until midnight on Tuesday to post it. After all, tomorrow's data is very important and there are many people urging me to update it. I decided to speed up and post it in advance. I hope everyone will support me and increase my follow-up reading tomorrow.
