Chapter 230 Challenge!
Chapter 230 Challenge!
"What?? Sex change pills?!" Gerald Long roared in horror.
Victor and Hailey rolled their eyes at their supremely gullible cousin.
"Yes! And it will hurt like crazy when your balls fall off!" Roland Hu shouted excitedly.
He was ecstatic.
He did not expect to find that there was another idiot in the group that would fall for such a stupid prank!
"MY BALLS WILL FALL OFF? JUSTIN YOU BASTARD!! WHY DO YOU WANT TO TAKE MY BALLS FROM ME?" Gerald Long bellowed with all of his strength.
The rest of the group roared with laughter.
In a blink of an eye, Gerald realized what had transpired. He glared at Roland Hu angrily.
But Roland Hu was still caught up in his excitement.
"Yes! And not only your balls! Your wee wee will drop off too! It will hurt! It will hurt like… OW!"
"Like this?" Gerald Long asked as he grabbed Roland's ears and pulled them hard!
"HAHAHAHA!" Sheera laughed so hard that she collapsed on her bench and started to gasp for breath.
"Boys are so dumb." Sherry smirked at the antics of the two idiots at the end of our long table.
"Not all boys, thank you very much." Victor immediately replied.
"All boys are dumb." Sherry repeated herself while staring at Victor in an obvious challenge to him.
"Very well. I shall represent all the boys in this academy and the world to prove once and for all that not only are boys not dumb, we are smarter than girls." Victor said with a slight smile that bordered on a sneer and a condescending smirk.
"Good. Today's first lesson happens to be combat wisdom class. We'll determine the winner in this class." Sherry said with a confident smile of her own.
I sat there in the middle of the table, and couldn't help but feel a strange mixture of excitement and underwhelming helplessness.
Excited because my two friends would be having a "combat wisdom" showdown later.
Underwhelming helplessness because well, everything seemed so unimportant in light of what had happened to me recently.
A little bit of both must have showed somewhere on my face, because Olivia suddenly punched me on the arm.
"What? Not high stakes enough for you? Hey Sherry, the Grand Melee Champion here thinks your upcoming battle with Victor is worse than a boring grandmother tale. Make it more interesting somehow!" She said in a blatant attempt to create chaos.
Sherry was, of course, happy to take the bait and explode everything up into a big and proper battle.
"Is that so?" She said grimly.
"That is NOT so." I said very firmly. "I did NOT say a single word."
But Sherry ignored my words.
"If that's the case, then let's have a boys versus girls battle! There are seven girls and six boys. If you're soooo good, I am sure that a one girl handicap isn't a problem for you?" Sherry said as she glowered at me as the representative of the boys.
"It IS a very big pro-" I began.
"No problem at all. In fact, we don't need six. Just me and Justin is enough to beat you seven girls senseless and down to your knees." Victor long declared with a wide, undisguised smirk on his face.
"HEY! What the hell? I said it's a problem! It's a BIG problem!" I shouted at Victor.
"Seven versus two? Let's make it seven versus three. Don't say that we bullied you when you lose later and find yourselves crying in the corner of the class." Sherry said.
"SIX! I want seven versus six!" I protested loudly and got completely ignored by the two ring leaders who were staring daggers at each other.
"Suit yourselves. Two is doable. With three, it will be beyond easy." Victor said with a careless shrug.
"Awesome! Losing group will have to serve at the beck and call of the winning group for the next week, no! The next month!" Olivia exclaimed happily.
"NO DEAL!" I shouted.
"Deal." Victor said calmly and overrode me.
"Yippieee!! Personal maids for the next month!" Olivia laughed.
The other girls laughed along with her.
They were really light hearted, and looking forward to the next class.
I sighed deeply and glared at Olivia who was the cause of all my upcoming misery.
She merely gave me a peace sign and stuck out her tongue at me.
I gave her an ugly face and went back to slurp the last of my milk tea.
"With what's coming up, this milk tea is probably the best part of the day." I thought to myself glumly.
Seven versus three against the Eternal General was a terrifying prospect indeed.
But of course not all the girls were battle hungry maniacs like Sherry and Olivia.
"You've been rather quiet and strange this morning. If there's anything you can't deal with alone, just tell us. We'll help." Tes said quietly while looking at me with her large, beautiful eyes.
I glanced at her and gave her a grateful smile.
"You're the best, Tes." I sighed. "If not for you, I would think that girls nowadays are all battle crazy and bloodthirsty!"
Of course my words made Tes blush slightly, and all the other girls frown deeply.
"Battle crazy? Bloodthirsty? I will show you battle crazy and bloodthirsty later!" Olivia pouted.
"Dear Justin, I wasn't planning on going all out today, but well… since you said that I am bloodthirsty, I guess I have to give it my all now, haven't I?" Elise Wang said sweetly.
"What's wrong with being battle crazy? I like being battle crazy. I can be friendly AND battle crazy at the same time. Don't worry Justin, I will show you later." Hailey Long said with light frown.
Sheera did not say anything, and merely smiled a meaningful smile at me.
For some reason, her response was the scariest of them all.
"Bro. Now you've done it." Victor Long sighed. "You've stirred the hornet's nest. Don't blame me if we lose today!"
And with that, the setting for the day's epic combat wisdom class was set!
