Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Just Kidding / Ike-Kun Is Super Brave
Ying Ye had said some very humiliating words.
And the presence of Kushida Kikyo beside them stimulated Ike Kanji even more so.
He felt thoroughly ashamed.
"Ying Ye Zhenshi."
The sound of his voice became a little louder.
"Why are you speaking so loud? Are you trying to mess with me again?"
Ying Ye Zhenshi looked on amusedly.
"Obviously, it is you who is going too far."
Ike was upset.
He looked about ready to blow.
"I don't remember doing anything that was even an ounce too much to you. But now, I'm getting the feeling that Ike-kun is a very formidable individual. Others treat me as a delinquent, but you still dare to approach me and look like you are ready to fight. You look super brave right now Ike, did you forget what happened the other day? Or are you just upset that your name is not on the post? Do you want to somehow prove yourself? If you care about the forum so much, I wonder if I would, in turn, be able to earn a lot of points by posting you on there too. Do you think I won't do it?"
Ying Ye Zhenshi smiled and looked at the distraught Ike, riling him up even more.
"If we can make some money, let's earn it together. I'll share your information so that I can earn some points as well."
As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and swiftly took a picture of Ike's appearance.
"Delete that right now!"
Ike became anxious in an instant.
"Don't be so worried. If I get some points, I will give you half of them. This school doesn't seem to care much about sharing pictures of others and bad behaviour being posted online, so don't worry about what the school's reaction to this will be."
Ying Ye Zhenshi smiled and kept fiddling with the phone, making Ike want to grab the phone.
"How petty. Are you going to fight me, Ike? I've still robbed a picture of you, haha. You can try whatever works to take the picture from me."
Watching Ike make a move, Ying Ye Zhenshi directly pushed the boy away, causing him to bump into the desk of the classmate sitting behind him.
"Asshole."
After Ike was pushed backwards, he planned to rush forward forcefully.
But he was quickly blocked by a small and fair hand.
"Don't do this guys!"
The conflict between the two sides had already been witnessed by the students in the class.
Kushida Kikyo couldn't stand it anymore.
She blocked Ike who was rushing forward.
"Nice! My post was submitted successfully, and I will share the dividends with you when I receive the points."
Ying Ye Zhenshi quickly typed in a few words, registered his profile with his real name, and posted the image of Ike.
The remarks he added beneath the image were that he was a ruthless individual in the first year's class D who liked to bully others every day.
Originally, he hadn't paid much attention to the forum, as in his opinion, it was very childish.
But Ike had run over to gloat about his ranking, so Ying Ye decided they'd go down as delinquents together.
"You…!"
"Delete it right now."
Ike Kanji was furious.
He didn't want to be made to look like some sort of delinquent or something.
Ironically, he had just laughed at Sudou Ken the previous night when he was added to the list.
"You should look for someone from the forum to discuss that with or someone from amongst the school staff. Why are you so excited about this, huh? Weren't you trying to rile me up just now? You didn't seem to care about such a thing earlier. Oh, could it be that you only care about such a leaderboard when it comes to you? Or are you worried that I won't reward you with your share of the points? Or are you just here to trouble me?"
Ying Ye Zhenshi spoke bluntly.
"Don't talk nonsense."
How could Ike come to admit to such an accusation?
"Then don't worry about it, mate. Since you were so excited about me being on the leaderboard, I did you the favour of posting yourself there too!"
Ying Ye Zhenshi shook his phone tauntingly.
Ike so wished he could take away the phone and smash it into a million pieces.
"Don't do this anymore."
Watching the conflict between the two, Kushida Kikyo beside him stopped them.
She looked at the two of them pitifully.
While it was Ike who had come to find trouble first, it seemed that Ying Ye was the one stirring up the trouble now.
This break in between classes had been a very unpleasant time.
"For Kushida's sake, I won't argue with you anymore."
Ike left the conversation with a tough act.
"Don't mess around so much. We are all classmates here."
Kushida Kikyo looked at Ying Ye Zhenshi.
"Classmates? Heh..."
At these words, Ying Ye Zhenshi just smiled.
He 'hoped' that they would still be classmates when 'that' day came.
He had no fantastical thoughts about that happening though as he looked around at the class D students who looked like they were enjoying themselves a good show.
There were some very contrasting views on Ying Ye Zhenshi among the class.
They couldn't believe Ying Ye Zhenshi didn't just let Ike get away with his taunt as he was usually very passive.
He, who was ranked first on the first-year's 'bad guy' leaderboards had just provided some 'good' publicity to Kanji Ike, Haruki Yamauchi, and Ken Sudo, causing the threesome of idiots to frantically look down at their phones with redness spreading across their faces.
The class hadn't expected that the issue would be resolved completely on his own.
"If you didn't go to provoke him, nothing would have happened."
Haruki Yamauchi complained a bit about Ike's actions.
In his opinion, this had been caused by the boy being too excited.
Moreover, they seemed to have no one to complain about this matter to, now.
Unless they fought directly with the Ying Ye to have him delete the post.
As for looking for a teacher to snitch on him?
In the case of investigating the forum posts, they would find out certain details that Ike and his group didn't want found out.
"No, we must find a way to get him back for this!"
Ike Kanji was not willing to suffer such a humiliation as he had, without getting back at Ying Ye and making him look a fool in front of Kushida Kikyo.
He'd rather die than let the matter go.
