Xia Ling smirked. “Dream on!”
The conduct in-charge said, “You aren’t qualified to be the class monitor, stop overestimating yourself!”
Xia Ling laughed. “I don’t know if I’m overestimating myself, but what I do know is that you’ll be running rounds soon!”
The atmosphere was tense. Principal Sha tried to cool them down. “Okay, enough, all of you. Isn’t it just 300 rounds? Let’s not damage the bond between you just because of this small issue. Xiao Ling, 300 rounds at one go will kill him. How about you give him a chance and let him run 100 rounds first. He can take a three-day rest, then run another 100 rounds… it’ll take him just three gos to finish the 300 rounds. This way, he can be punished without risking his life.”
Everyone was shocked. Principal Sha was really cold-blooded!
Principal Sha truly lived up to his nickname of “Smiling Tiger”. Everyone thought he was on the conduct in-charge’s side, but he was in fact siding with Xia Ling. Even if 300 rounds were to be split into three separate sessions, the interval between each of the 100 rounds was a mere few days. For an ordinary person, 100 rounds might not kill, but it would definitely leave a toll on their body. You could foresee that for the next two weeks, the conduct in-charge, Li Hua, would be close to crippled. His daily routine would be just run—rest—run—rest.
The class schedule for the training camp was tight, if he missed this half a month of classes, it would be hard for him to catch up again.
It might even affect his examination results or debut.
The conduct in-charge, Li Hua, was upset. “Principal, you can’t do this!”
Principal Sha chuckled. “I’m only giving Xiao Ling a suggestion. Whether she wants to take it is up to her. You must understand that for some matters, the school administration cannot interfere.”
Everyone was appalled by his comment. He was siding with Xia Ling so obviously, and he still dared to say he could not interfere? But they had conveniently forgotten all the times when the teachers sided with Li Bingman and bullied Xia Ling, and how they saw no fault with it.
Xia Ling accepted Principal Sha’s suggestions readily. “Okay, since he will be given time to rest, let’s up a few more rounds. How about 400? More training and less spouting nonsense for him.”
“What—?” They were shocked again. 300 rounds were already crazy, and now she was asking for 400! “Are you kidding me?!” Li Bingman spoke up. Her underlings were being bullied to a ridiculous extent. If she did not defend then, she would lose the support of her other underlings. “I do not agree, 400 rounds is too much,” she said.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t agree.” Xia Ling said cheekily, “Li Bingman, do you think you are still the class monitor? It’s about time we settled our old feud. How about we start with you joining him for the 400 rounds.”
“How dare you!” Li Bingman could not believe it. This wretched girl thought that being a class monitor gave her absolute authority, even to the point of offending the Diva’s sister!
“I’m not afraid of anything.” Xia Ling grinned wickedly. “You, and all your underlings. All of you will run your rounds, this problem of despising others has to be corrected.”
All of you will run your rounds?
They looked at each other in disbelief, no way this was happening?!
Xia Ling shouted, “Xiao Hua, come over and stand beside me.”
A gentle girl walked out from the crowd and stood cautiously beside Xia Ling. She was Xiao Hua, the friend that Xia Ling made on her first day in the training camp. Originally, Xiao Hua was worried when Xia Ling and Li Bingman’s gang were arguing. She did not expect the tides to turn towards Xia Ling.
Now that Xia Ling summoned her, she did not think much and walked over.
Xia Ling looked around and said, “Xiao Hua is a nice person, she didn’t bully others like you did, so she won’t have to run rounds.”
Li Bingman stared at Xiao Hua like a wolf and threatened, “Think carefully, are you sure you want to side with Xia Ling?”
Xiao Hua shuddered, but still stood bravely by Xia Ling.
Xia Ling met Li Bingman’s gaze and said, “Don’t bully her like a coward. if you have the balls, go against me. Don’t you have your gang? Well, too bad, they are all going down with you.”
Before Li Bingman could react, Xia Ling bellowed out to the trainees, “All of you, line up properly and say a few words to me so that I can hear your voices. If you’ve insulted me before, or are part of Li Bingman’s gang, go run your rounds. If you are not any of them, stand beside Xiao Hua.”
The trainees looked at each other and did not dare to move.
Xia Ling was unhappy. It seemed like even with the support of Principal Sha, her reputation was not enough to command over them.
She smirked. “Seems like there is no one, then all of you will go for the run!”
“No!” A thin guy stood out, stammering. He said, “X-Xia Ling, I have never insulted you and I have nothing to do with Li Bingman and her gang.” He knew his physique was not strong enough for the run, he would be risking his life for it.
Xia Ling had a good memory of sounds and voices. She knew immediately after hearing his voice, “I recognize your voice, you are the one who said ‘the serial number of the caps on the thermal flasks are wrong’. I don’t remember you insulting me, so stand beside Xiao Hua.”
The guy heaved a sigh of relief and stood beside Xiao Hua.
With his example, more people began to move over to Xiao Hua. They were the ones who never insulted Xia Ling, but it was only a handful of them. Originally, there were a few who wanted to appease Li Bingman, but now that the tides had turned, they tried to save themselves instead. One of them stood out and said to Xia Ling—
“Xia Ling, from the very first day I saw you, I thought that you were very pretty, for real.”
After his sentence, he tried to move over to Xiao Hua’s side.
“Wu Lanhai!” someone shouted from the crowd. “You coward! You were with us when we talked bad about Xia Ling, and you even added to it. How can you pretend you didn’t! Coward!”
“I did not!” Wu Lanhai tried to explain. “Xia Ling, please hear me out. They are spreading lies because they despise me. I have never insulted you! Believe me!”
Xia Ling sneered. “Get lost.”
“Huh?”
“Get lost and join the run.” Xia Ling said, “You insulted me, saying that I was poor and wasn’t even fit to hold Li Bingman’s shoes for her. Have you forgotten the words you just said? 500 rounds for you.” She despised those who followed Li Bingman, but she despised these bootlickers more.
“Xia Ling!” Wu Lanhai was anxious. He did not expect 100 more rounds for him.
Before he could say anything else, Principal Sha coughed and interjected. “Student Wu, please do not disrupt the class. If you continue to do so, we will deduct your academic points.”
Wu Lanhai kept quiet immediately. Academic points were notoriously hard to earn in Imperial Entertainment, and they’d already realized this as new students. He did not want his hard-earned points gone because of this.
Defeated, he stepped out of the classroom.
After Wu Lanhai, no one dared to try and fake their innocence. Everyone stood in their places. A clear split could be seen between Li Bingman’s gang and Xia Ling’s. The classroom was engulfed in a deafening silence.
