Bab 32: Chapter 32: Feminized Martial Soul?
[🥳 New novel is out guys, "In Hentai World as Mirai Tsubakihara's Relative", do support.🎊.]
"Hehe, this is going to be fun. Did that guy just call Lu Bing a girl?"
Some of the other day students eating on the second floor couldn't help but gloat.
At Notting Academy, while there was always tension between day students and work-study students, not all day students were involved in bullying. Most of the day students who enjoyed picking on work-study students were the children of nobles and merchants, along with a few commoners trying to ingratiate themselves with these groups.
These commoners had a simple goal—to climb the social ladder by associating with the nobility and wealthy.
But the majority of day students weren't part of this group. Otherwise, with hundreds of students in the academy and only a dozen work-study students, if every day student bullied them, the work-study students would be unable to survive at all.
That said, while most day students didn't actively bully the work-study students, they certainly didn't help them either. They preferred to stay neutral, ensuring they wouldn't be bullied themselves, and occasionally enjoyed watching the drama unfold as a bit of entertainment.
Now, seeing that Lin Ye was about to have a tough time, they were thrilled. There was going to be a show!
"You fool! Our boss isn't a girl. His martial soul is special—it mutated and started to develop more feminine characteristics!" a day student suddenly burst out from behind Lu Bing, pointing at Lin Ye arrogantly.
Lin Ye: "…"
You just revealed your boss's secret like that… Really?
Lin Ye was speechless.
"Get back here!" Lu Bing's face darkened as she heard her subordinate expose her secret. Even though it wasn't exactly a secret at the academy, she still wasn't happy about it. With a swift kick to the boy's rear, she sent him stumbling forward.
"Ow! Boss, I'm sorry!" The boy yelped in pain, quickly retreating into the crowd, but despite his words, there was a faint blush of satisfaction on his face.
"Oh, so you're actually a guy? My mistake, I couldn't tell at first," Lin Ye said with a calm expression, though he found the situation slightly odd.
"Don't mention it again. You're a work-study student, right? How dare you bully us day students! Hasn't your boss told you the rules?" Lu Bing's face flickered with anger as she tried to suppress her fury, her voice cold.
"Apologies, but I'm the boss of the work-study students now. And no, I'm not aware of any such rules."
Lin Ye's face remained impassive.
"Don't know the rules? Well, I'll teach you today. The rule is simple: whenever you encounter day students like us, no matter how much we bully you, you take it. If just one of you dares to resist, then all of you will get beaten."
Lu Bing's face, delicate and feminine, twisted into a malicious grin.
"That's unfair. Why shouldn't we be allowed to fight back?" Lin Ye asked, still calm.
"Why can't you fight back? Because our fists are bigger than yours! If you keep quiet, you might have a better time. But if you resist, we'll make sure you come to class with bruises every day," Lu Bing said, raising her fist in a threatening gesture.
"Your fists are bigger? What if mine are bigger than yours?" Lin Ye said suddenly.
"Hah, your fists are bigger than ours?" Lu Bing's followers burst into laughter, and even the other day students on the second floor who had been watching started to smirk.
"Damn it! How dare they mock our boss!" one of the boys from Dorm Seven muttered angrily.
"Calm down. I believe Lin Ye won't lose," Tang San said calmly from the side.
"Your fists are bigger than ours? How ridiculous. You think you can take me on? Show me, then!" Lu Bing sneered.
"This guy is definitely going to lose. Lu Bing is already a Soul Master and might even graduate this year!"
"Yeah, he's just a new student. I've never seen him before. Challenging Lu Bing? He's way too full of himself."
"Haha, there's always someone who doesn't know their place. Let's sit back and enjoy the show!"
…
Hearing Lin Ye's challenge, the surrounding day students burst into mocking laughter. None of them believed Lin Ye stood a chance.
After all, Lu Bing was a Soul Master, while Lin Ye was just a newly enrolled student. There was no way he could be a Soul Master already. And if he wasn't, how could he beat Lu Bing?
"A Soul Master?"
Hearing the mocking voices around him, Lin Ye's lips curled into a faint smile.
"And what's so special about being a Soul Master?"
Raising his head, Lin Ye looked at Lu Bing, his tone indifferent.
"What?! This guy looks down on Soul Masters?"
"No way! Does he really think he can fight above his rank?"
"Haha! This is going to be good. This kid is hilarious!"
…
Lin Ye's casual remark sparked a burst of laughter from the surrounding crowd. They couldn't believe what they had just heard. A new student actually said that being a Soul Master wasn't a big deal? Only someone fresh off the boat would say something so ridiculous!
"Kid, you've got guts, I'll give you that," Lu Bing said, taken aback for a moment before a bright smile spread across her face.
But anyone familiar with Lu Bing knew that the brighter her smile, the more dangerous she became. She was known for being a "smiling tiger"—the wider she smiled, the harsher her actions would be.
Lin Ye calling her a girl had already pushed her buttons, and now he had insulted Soul Masters, her greatest source of pride. To her, this was a personal slap in the face!
"Soul Masters are no big deal? Let me show you just how wrong you are!" As she finished speaking, Lu Bing's smile vanished, her expression turning dark. With a sudden burst of movement, she rushed toward Lin Ye, her right fist tightly clenched as it shot toward him.
Although she had acted dismissive of Lin Ye, having witnessed him defeat five day students earlier, Lu Bing wasn't careless. She channeled her soul power into her punch, fully prepared to teach Lin Ye a harsh lesson.
With her beast martial soul and the absorption of even a low-level ten-year soul ring, Lu Bing's physical abilities had been greatly enhanced. Her strength already surpassed that of an average adult.
But compared to Lin Ye, it was still far from enough.
