บท 14: Railgun

The next day, we were poised to fight against first grades class three. The time of battle was the same as the day before. After afternoon classes ended, we would be competing on the competition stage once more.

I looked around the competition field again. There was only a small increase in the number of viewers compared to the day before. You would think that yesterday's show of utter domination would gain the interest of others, but the reality was cruel.

When my team and I arrived with Wu Zhangkong, first grade class three's class teacher was already there waiting. With just that, I already had a better impression of her than Kong Hanwen.

If I remembered correctly, this teacher's name was Ye Yingrong. She was a real beauty. She was tall, standing at 170 centimetres, and her figure was superb. She had fair skin, an oval face, and a cherry mouth. Ye Yingrong fits all the criteria for my ideal woman in my past life.

Not only was her beauty stunning, she was talented as well, being a four ring Soul Ancestor at the age of 23.

Gu Yue suddenly nudged me in the ribs. "She's really pretty huh? No wonder you've been staring at her. Do you like her?" Her voice had a teasing quality to it.

I let out a dry laugh. "I'm afraid there's too big an age difference between us even if I did. Not only that, but she also seems to be completely enamoured with Teacher Wu." In front of us, Ye Yingrong was desperately trying to introduce herself to Wu Zhangkong.

Gu Yue's expression seemed to sour when she heard my words. She gave a hmph of indignation before turning her head away.

I was confused. Did I say something wrong? She acted as if I was calling her old.

"Friendship is number one, and the competition is secondary. Gu Tianri, Gu Tianyue, Gu Tianming, Gu Tianyang, do you understand?" Ye Yingrong's voice abruptly entered my ears.

Four voices rang in unison. "Yes, Teacher Ye!"

I turned back to class three's area to look at the other team's competitors. I was pretty shocked at what I saw.

The people I was going to be fighting against all looked the same. Those guys were definitely quadruplets.

At that moment, Long Hengxu arrived on stage.

"The second match of the Class Promotion Tournament has arrived. First grade's class five, is it still the same four people as before?"

Wu Zhangkong gave a nod. Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Gu Yue and I stepped onto the stage together and walked to the centre.

At the same time, the quadruplets got on the stage as well.

As they got up the stage, I noticed that their movements were completely synchronised. Although it was rude, I felt as if they were terminators walking together. It was pretty damn creepy.

"Are you all ready?" Long Hengxu inquired as per usual. After both sides gave an affirmative, he waved his hand, declaring the start of the match.

The Gu brothers simultaneously released their martial souls, which were wings, before flying up to the sky.

We were all quite surprised to see this. Xie Xie in particular asked, "So, how are we going to deal with this? They're out of our range."

I stepped in front of the three of them. "Let me try something. I think I can get them out of the sky."

Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie looked at me with an inquiring look on their face but they didn't say anything, indirectly approving.

I fished in my pocket for some coins, before bringing out four. Holding the four coins between my fingers, I took aim at the Gu brothers before throwing them.

[Railgun} X 4

The coins blasted off my fingers before slamming directly into them. They knocked down from the sky and fell off the bounds of the competition stage, representing our team's win.

"How did you do that?!" Tang Wulin asked with an astonished look on his face.

I gave a smirk. "I'm just that strong." Of course, the real reason was that I used the powers of electromagnetism to aid me. However, no one other than me would know that because I had hidden the traces of using [Railgun].

Gu Yue sighed before shaking her head. "Forget it. I won't be surprised by you anymore. You're always doing these cheaty things" Xie Xie and Tang Wulin nodded their heads in agreement.

Did it seem that way to them? If that was the case, I wonder what their reactions will be if they find out about the rest of my abilities.

"F, first grade's class five wins!" Long Hengxue said shakily. He probably didn't expect that I would solo stomp the enemy team.

Ye Yingrong was taking deep breaths and trying to calm herself down. She gave a fake smile and said to Wu Zhangkong, "Congratulations, Teacher Wu. You'll be in class three now."

Wu Zhangkong answered mildly, "That is not my goal. Please excuse me." As he finished, he walked towards the four of us who were getting off the stage.

He brought me out from the group before bringing me to a spot where the others couldn't hear us. "Huang Yu."

"Yes?"

"I want you to sit out for the finals."

My jaw opened as I looked at him with shock. "Why Teacher Wu? I handled the fight easily."

Wu Zhangkong gave me a strange gaze before sighing, "That's the problem. You handled the fight too well. If you're always there to win the fight for them, the others can't get a chance to temper and improve themselves. They'll form a type of reliance on you which will hinder their growth."

I kept quiet as I thought about his words for a moment. His words were true. In the last few fights we had as a team, I was the one who would bring victory, whether in a direct or indirect way.

Making my choice, I gave my reply. "Alright Teacher Wu. I'll sit out for the next fight." I didn't really want to fight in the tournament all that much anyway. I was skilled enough to match Wu Zhangkong when he used spirit power. I doubt that class one could even serve as a warm-up to me.

Wu Zhangkong gave a small smile. "Mn. You can leave now."

I made my way back to Tang Wulin and the others. Walking back, I couldn't help but realise that Wu Zhangkong was actually a pretty caring person.
