Chapter 25: You're in big trouble now

  A peaceful night's sleep without a word.

  The next morning, Ding Qiang got up early, washed and dressed, said a word to his parents, and rushed to school.

  Arriving at class, because it's been almost half a month since we last met, I couldn't help but exchange some pleasantries with my good friends.

  Although Liu Tao was not very kind in the game that time, students are like this, things have passed and everyone has put it behind them. He is indeed very good at interpersonal relationships, so he quickly got along with everyone again.

  "The rankings are out! The rankings are out!" As the teacher took out a large sheet of paper and posted it on the wall, everyone rushed over to take a look.

  "Ding Qiang, I found your name, haha." Lin Yi ran over and said.

  "Oh." Thinking about the Flame Dungeon in the game, Ding Qiang absent-mindedly said: "Really?"

  "En, you were admitted, third-tier university, we're in the same school." Lin Yi said excitedly, being able to be classmates with Ding Qiang again made him very happy.

  "Really? Ha, I knew it......" Ding Qiang self-deprecatingly smiled, but before he could finish smiling, his expression stiffened and he suddenly grabbed Lin Yi: "What did you say?"

  "You've been admitted, a third-tier university, how is that? You still want to attend a key university? Don't be ridiculous, big brother..." Lin Yi asked inexplicably.

  "What the...? Say it again?" Ding Qiang's eyes widened in shock.

  "Qiangzi, are you okay?" Lin Yi was looked at by Ding Qiang and felt a bit hairy, stretched out his hand to touch his head: "Qiangzi, why did you blow up as soon as you entered the classroom?"

  "I... I didn't fail?" Ding Qiang was stunned.

  "You've been admitted, didn't you hear what I just said?" Lin Yi said.

  "Was I really admitted?" Ding Qiang asked with some disbelief.

  "Look at it yourself?" Seeing that the other party seemed to be unbelieving, Lin Yi pointed discontentedly at the ranking list posted on the wall beside him.

  But at this time, Ding Qiang had no spare time to pay attention to these things. He suddenly stood up and rushed over, pushing aside several classmates in front of him, searching line by line, and finally found his own name on the last three admission lines.

  "Was I really admitted?" Ding Qiang stared foolishly at his own name, with a storm of shock and amazement in his heart.

  Has history changed once again?

  That's not right, he remembers it clearly. In his previous life, his grades were too poor and he couldn't even get into a third-tier university, but the red list in front of him...

  What happened? Why is it like this?

  Was it written incorrectly by the person who posted the list?

  Could it be that the system made an error and entered its own grades incorrectly?

  It should be like this, right?

  But why didn't this mistake happen in the previous life?

  Could it be that there's another student named Ding Qiang in a different class at school...

  Damn it, what the hell is going on? Reborn until now, everything except things related to myself has been developing normally as in the previous life, why this matter...

  In broad daylight, Ding Qiang suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if there was a pair of invisible eyes staring at him from behind.

  Just then, an arm wrapped around his shoulder, and a head leaned in from behind, saying in a voice that was also out of place in his ear: "Hey, isn't this Ding Qiang? How's it going? Is one book enough?"

  Hearing this voice, Ding Qiang felt a wave of disgust in his heart. He turned around to take a look and it was none other than Liu Tao.

  The room suddenly fell silent, and many classmates in the class knew that Liu Tao and Ding Qiang had a bad relationship. If nothing unexpected happened, today would be the last time they saw each other. Good friends naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to chat more, but those with bad relationships also wanted to take advantage of it in some people's hearts.

  Liu Tao got accepted into a key university and was in the same school as Li Yan. He was originally chatting with his close friends, feeling pleased with himself, when he saw Ding Qiang looking somewhat dispirited. Thinking that Ding Qiang was disheartened because of his poor performance in the exams, Liu Tao secretly felt delighted and suddenly thought this was an opportunity to take advantage of.

  Seeing Ding Qiang's expression change, Liu Tao felt even more refreshed in her heart. After carefully finding Ding Qiang's name on the list, she immediately exclaimed loudly: "Wow, Ding Qiang, you've made it to the third-tier line! Awesome! With your level, you can get into a third-tier university, what's there to be dissatisfied with?"

  Liu Tao's words instantly triggered a burst of gentle laughter from his classmates beside him.

  Ding Qiang's emotions were originally extremely unstable, and after his rebirth, he had always thought that everything was under his control. However, the name on the list was like a loud wake-up call, giving him a shocking warning.

  He was slightly concerned about the feelings between classmates, but Liu Tao repeatedly provoked him, and even a clay Bodhisattva would have some anger, let alone him...

  "Shut your mother...!" Ding Qiang slapped him twice, then kicked him to the ground and stomped on him several times: "Can't you just pretend to be dead? Can't you?"

  "Hey, hey, why are you hitting people..." Next to Liu Tao, several dead party members saw that Liu Tao was at a disadvantage and rushed over to try to hold back Ding Qiang. As a result, before they even reached Ding Qiang's side, their collars were grabbed by Lin Yi, who then pulled them backward with force.

  "Damn, want to pull a stunt?" Lin Yichang's five big and three thick arms were thicker than Liu Tao's several comrades' calves, standing beside Ding Qiang with his eyes wide open like an iron tower, that momentum immediately stunned everyone.

  As soon as someone started fighting, the classroom suddenly fell silent. Only Liu Tao covered his face and pointed at Ding Qiang, shouting in disbelief: "Damn it, Ding Qiang, you dare to hit me..." Ding Qiang pretended to charge forward, and Liu Tao sat on the ground, scared and quickly retreated several steps, instantly causing a burst of light laughter from the crowd.

  Just then, the classroom door was opened from outside and a middle-aged man, the head teacher of Class 3 Grade 4, walked in.

  "What's going on? What's going on? What are you all doing?" Looking at the red finger marks on Liu Tao's face, the class teacher sternly shouted: "What's going on? What are you doing? Are you rebelling? Is it because you see that graduation is approaching and I can't control you anymore? Have you all started rebelling?"

  "Teacher, Ding Qiang hit me." Liu Tao immediately got up and pointed at the palm print on his face.

  He glanced at Ding Qiang, and a hint of disgust flashed in the class teacher's eyes. He pointed at Ding Qiang and said, "Ding Qiang, tell me what's going on here?"

  Ding Qiang remained silent.

  "Speak, I'm asking you, what's going on?" The class teacher looked at Ding Qiang and saw that he didn't answer her own question. Suddenly, she became even more severe and said: "Ding Qiang, as your class teacher, I order you to tell me what happened just now!"

  "I beat him up." Ding Qiang said nonchalantly. For other teachers, Ding Qiang still had some respect in his heart, but for this head teacher of his class, who was superficially brilliant but inwardly filthy, he really couldn't muster up any respect...

  "Why did you hit him?" Just now, Ding Qiang's move was extremely ruthless, Liu Tao's face had swollen up, the head teacher felt heartache and said: "Are you going to rebel against heaven? Do you think that since graduation is near, no one can control you anymore? I'm telling you, as long as you stay in this classroom for one more day, I can still control you, because I am your teacher."

  "Teacher? Are you worthy?" Looking at the balding middle-aged man in front of him, Ding Qiang sneered: "Where were you when Liu Tao was mocking me just now?"

  "What teasing? What are you talking about? Teasing is just joking around between classmates. Ding Qiang, don't try to change the subject on purpose."

  "Are you kidding me? Am I familiar with him? Are you kidding me? Is this a joke?" Ding Qiang stared straight at the bald middle-aged man without backing down: "You should have seen clearly from the back window what happened earlier, don't you know what's going on? You're still saying you're a teacher?"

  "You... you..." The balding middle-aged man pointed at Ding Qiang, his hands trembling with rage. In fact, he had seen the whole thing from start to finish, but it was just that one slap and the length of a finger that made all the difference. Teachers always liked students who were good at studying, and he was no exception. Liu Tao, as the class monitor, was also skilled at handling relationships with teachers, so his mind naturally leaned towards Liu Tao.

  It was just that he didn't expect that Ding Qiang, who usually kept a low profile and had a sloppy appearance, would suddenly become fierce-tempered today, not only intimidating but also speaking with reason and evidence, leaving no room for criticism.

  "You... you insult the teacher." The bald middle-aged man took a deep breath: "Ding Qiang, your student morality is extremely poor. I will write a letter to the university that admitted you, in the name of a people's teacher, and ask them to reconsider their decision to admit you."

  "Ah......" The classmates in the classroom suddenly let out a low cry.

  When reporting to university, they will bring a high school teacher's evaluation. Although it is generally unlikely that teachers will intentionally say bad things, looking at the balding middle-aged man's demeanor, it is clear that he has already been enraged to the extreme today.

  "It's all over... it's all over..." Lin Yi felt a wave of anxiety in his heart. Today, Ding Qiang was also acting strangely, from the moment he knew he had been admitted, he was like a different person, not only did he beat up Liu Tao, but he even dared to talk back to the old man. Although it felt great, if this really led to him being left behind, then that would be too frustrating.

  Li Yan beside him was also extremely anxious, biting her lip, wanting to speak, but looking at the furious class teacher and Ding Qiang, she didn't know what to say...

  However, compared to Lin Yi and Li Yan's extreme tension, Liu Tao covered her face, but in her heart, she was thrilled: "Haha, you think you can take me on? I knew you couldn't resist. If I hadn't seen the class teacher at the back window earlier, do you think I'd let you hit me on purpose? Now you're blinded by your own anger! Damn it, you're competing with me for Li Yan's attention? You idiot."

  At that moment, some students in the class were gloating over others' misfortunes, while others wanted to speak out and plead for mercy. The complexities of human nature were all on display.

  Looking at the expressions of the people around him, looking at Li Yan who was anxiously biting her lip, Ding Qiang's heart warmed up. It seems that the emotional communication in the game has been pretty good lately, and Xiao Yatou even knew to help herself when she was anxious. Shouldn't he hurry up with the next step then?

  "With these thoughts in mind, Ding Qiang's face showed an extremely reluctant expression: "Teacher, why do you have to do this? You should have seen everything clearly from the back window just now. I admit that I was wrong, but I think Liu Tao also has some responsibility for this matter..."

  The impatient middle-aged man with a bald head interrupted Ding Qiang's words: "What you say is useless, I don't know how many students I've taught, but it's the first time I've taught a student like you who doesn't strive for improvement and has no team spirit. People like you will hold back your class in school and be a parasite in society..."

  "Even if the Emperor himself came, it wouldn't be of any use today." The old man tapped Ding Qiang's shoulder with his hand and said, "You're in big trouble..."
