Sofia's eyes widened in shock as she took in the chaotic scene before her. Class 10 was in shambles, with tables and chairs reduced to splintered rubble. Mia, her eyes blazing with fury, had unleashed her wood-type energy, summoning vines to bind and hurl tables at Anos.
Anos, his expression unyielding, retaliated with his fists, smashing the tables to smithereens. The rest of the class cowered in the corners, their faces pale with fear. A few timid girls were overcome with emotion, wiping away tears as they trembled with terror.
A notification echoed in Anos's mind, his thoughts a mix of amusement and incredulity: "Ding... Host scared a big sister to tears. This is considered a scumbag behavior. Scumbag value + 50000." He couldn't believe the system's absurdity.
Sofia, horrified by the mayhem, shouted, "I say, what are you guys doing? Stop this at once!" Her voice pierced the air, and Mia, still frenzied, slowly came to her senses, her attack faltering.
As soon as Sofia appeared, Anos sprinted towards her with a pitiful expression, flinging himself into her arms. "Miss Sofia, wuwuwu! Look at what class you've put me in! I'm being bullied to death!" he exclaimed, his voice trembling with fake despair.
However, Sofia deftly sidestepped Anos, avoiding his grasp. "Bastard! It's obviously your fault!" Mia retorted, her face scrunched up in indignation, feeling wronged.
Just then, a notification echoed in Anos's mind: "Ding... Host caused a big sister to feel aggrieved. Scumbag value + 50000. Mission progress: 100%. Mission reward: Imperial Physician Holy Technique has been released. Random reward for Mia: Increase chest size by 10%.
Confirm use?"
Anos was thrilled, thinking this was too awesome! His scumbag behavior had caused a girl to feel negative emotions, and he received numerous rewards. He didn't have time to examine the Imperial Physician Holy Technique, but he felt a new memory in his mind.
As for Mia's reward, Anos hesitated. Sofia didn't need to guess to know that Anos was responsible for the chaos. "Anos, what do you think we should do now that the entire classroom is in this state?" Sofia asked, crossing her arms and gazing at Anos.
"Miss Sofia, she was the one who threw it. I broke the table in self-defense. I really can't do it. Here," Anos said, producing a stack of cash. The others were stunned, recognizing it as their protection fee.
Sofia secretly touched her forehead, wondering how she had gotten herself into this situation. "You can buy your own desks and chairs. We won't be teaching today. Tomorrow morning, the entire beginner class will gather for group training," she announced, before turning and walking away.
As she left, she couldn't shake off the feeling that letting Anos into her class wasn't punishing him, but rather punishing herself. Anos, meanwhile, put away the money and walked into the classroom, looking at Mia with a mischievous grin.
"What do you think we should do?" he asked, his eyes sparkling with amusement, as if daring Mia to come up with a plan to deal with the chaos he had unleashed.
.....
"It's not my fault," Mia muttered under her breath, still looking disgruntled. Anos then handed the money to one of his lackeys. "Go collect these desks and chairs. They'll be done by this afternoon!" he instructed.
"O... Okay! Big brother Anos!" the lackey replied, scurrying off to complete the task.
Anos then thought for a moment before addressing the system in his mind, "The reward for Mia, can it be reduced? If not, then increase it by 0.1%!"
Mia suddenly felt an strange sensation in her chest, like an itch she couldn't scratch. She wondered if it was a second puberty, and a thrill of excitement ran through her. "Wow! So happy!" she thought to herself.
Anos's curiosity was piqued, "What about the other one?" he asked, his eyes gleaming with interest.
Adam hesitated, his voice laced with trepidation, "The other one... Big brother Anos, I'm not doubting your capabilities, but she's someone who's considered untouchable. She's Charlotte Reys."
Mia strode over, her expression incredulous, "You think you can pursue Charlotte Reys? That's tantamount to courting death!" Her words were laced with a mix of amusement and warning.
Anos glanced at Mia, his curiosity piqued. "You know about Charlotte Reys too?" he asked, his voice laced with intrigue. Anos felt that the name was familiar, but he couldn't quite place it.
Sasha walked over, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "She's a legend in Flower City!" she exclaimed. " Charlotte is the number one expert in the Sky Martial Court, the most stunning beauty in Orchid Flower Academy, and even the most fascinating wonder in Flower City. She's renowned as one of the top geniuses in the city, rivaling the exceptional John Gill."
Anos was secretly speechless, his mind reeling from the sheer magnitude of Charlotte's reputation. He couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder. Then, he turned to Sasha and asked, "How does she compare to you?" His question was laced with a hint of teasing.
Sasha's expression turned hesitant, her eyes darting around the room. Although she was unwilling to admit it, she still said, "I can't compare to her... I'm afraid that only Miss Sofia won't lose to her in terms of temperament when standing next to her." Her voice was barely above a whisper, her words laced with a mix of admiration and intimidation.
....
Any girl who laid eyes on Charlotte would undoubtedly feel inferior! Even Sasha, known for her unwavering confidence, would feel a pang of inadequacy. It was hard to say who was more beautiful, but Charlotte's captivating temperament, effortlessly elegant and refined, was definitely something that no other girl could match.
"Is that so? Interesting!" Anos exclaimed, standing up with a smirk that hinted at his growing fascination. His eyes sparkled with excitement as he contemplated the prospect of meeting Charlotte, his mind racing with possibilities.
Adam hurriedly added, "There's another one. She's ranked second, but she's on par with Charlotte. However, she and Charlotte are two extremes, like fire and ice..." But Anos wasn't interested in hearing more, his focus fixed on Charlotte.
"Ignore her for now. Brothers, follow me!" Anos declared, his voice filled with determination and a hint of mischief. A few of his friends asked anxiously, "Brother... Brother Anos, don't tell me you're going to find Charlotte?" Their voices laced with concern, they wondered what Anos had planned.
Anos chuckled, a low, throaty sound, and replied, "No! I'm going to find Amelia Crawford! Let's go!" With that, he walked out of the classroom, his friends trailing behind him, their hearts racing with anticipation.
...
Mia glared at Sasha, her voice laced with indignation and a hint of disappointment. "This is indeed a man for you! He keeps saying he likes you, but now he's off to find Amelia! Ugh, what a scoundrel! He's got no shame, no loyalty, and no decency!"
Sasha had never believed that Anos genuinely wanted to pursue her. She had thought it was just a ruse to get close to her. However, if he didn't truly have feelings for her, then why would he risk provoking John just to strike up a conversation? The whole thing was a mystery to her.
But when she heard that Anos was going to find another girl, Sasha felt a surge of anger in her heart. She tried to brush it off, but the feeling lingered. "Who cares?" she said, trying to sound nonchalant. "If he thinks he can do whatever he wants in the beginner class, just wait until he reaches the intermediate class! He'll be in for a rude awakening!"
Mia's eyes sparkled with excitement, her voice barely above a whisper. "Then should we go and watch him get his due? It'll be a spectacle to behold!" Sasha's eyes lit up with mischief, her smile sly. "Absolutely! Let's go! We can't miss this!"
