The Astral Pet Store
Chapter 141's
Astral Pet Store – Chapter 141
Su Ping walked out of the emergency area, then he saw where Dong Mingsong was sitting and headed there.
“Bapak. Su!”
“Halo, Professor Su Ping.”
A few teachers who were watching the stage up close greeted him. Most of them looked surprised by his arrival, as they had never seen him in person until that day. Despite wanting how else since Su Ping only had a total of two general lessons in the academy, after that he immediately left on his bike without giving anyone a chance to meet him.
Su Ping nodded to them just to show his politeness
In addition to Dong Mingsong, he also found Zhou Yunchan, Fei Yanbo and the two other teachers from the Phoenix-Luo Guxue Peak Academy and Lan He. Further to the side were seats reserved for students who would fight on the day's match.
Su Ping did not need to tell his schoolmate about his rival because the former had a gloomy face after their defeat, and did not pay attention to the current match.
Whether it was, or, what happened on stage was more of an embarrassing blow than an actual match.
Ye Hao was generally believed to be the best student the Phoenix Peak Academy had to offer. Yet no one expected Ye Hao to lose so pitifully against Luo Fengtian. There was absolutely nothing he could do to fight back. Her pet was crushed like a sitting duck.
The judge had yet to blow the whistle just because Ye Hao had yet to admit defeat, although everyone could see that he lost.
“What is it ... Mr Su?” Luo Guxue looked away from the stage with a frustrated expression. “You have no lessons today, right?” It was clear to him that Su Ping was there to watch the contest. Too bad, he's late. The result is not pretty.
Lan He heard her words and also looked towards Su Ping with a surprised face, while secretly praising the young image of Su Ping. He checked the academy's new list and did not trust the “18” section when he saw Su Ping info. Now he's changed his mind.
People at that age are usually students who have not achieved anything. So this is why they call him a true genius? Lan He thought while trying not to show it on his face.
Dong Mingsong also heard about the arrival of Su Ping and sighed.
Meanwhile, the students from rival academies like Dai Yan and Xiong Lei looked tense upon seeing Su Ping face. A moment before, they were still talking about how “weak” people from Phoenix Peak were slippery punching bags. But as soon as they saw Su Ping, they all stopped talking without being told.
When they recalled the terrifying arrival of the Hell Dragon the other day, they quickly sat down further due to instinct.
Zhou Yunchan and Fei Yanbo found it strange that so many people paid such great attention to other students for some reason. But they soon realized something and both of them looked at Su Ping with serious gazes.
“Come, Professor Su. Sit here.” Luo Guxue's words helped them prove their suspicions.
“I just checked everything.” Su Ping nodded to Luo Guxue without joining her. He went to meet the vice principal first. Dong Mingsong also invited Su Ping to sit nearby, but someone stopped them. It was Zhou Yunchan, who had just interrupted Dong Mingsong with a mocking look.
“This man is the young teacher who injured our students, right? How about giving us an apology we've been waiting for, before doing anything else?”.
“He hurt... what?” Both Lu Guxue and Lan He looked at Su Ping again, this time in shock.
Their conversation also caught the attention of some sulking students nearby, who all started to examine Su Ping with doubtful gazes. As senior members of the academy, they did not attend Su Ping's lessons, although they still heard rumors about the Hell Dragon. Without seeing the strong evidence supporting the claim, they would not be too quick to believe Su Ping rumors.
Luo Guxue spoke to Zhou Yunchan, “What do you mean injured disciple, Mr Zhou? Did we mistake something here? ”
“Error?” Zhou Yunchan gave him an unfriendly look. “The error did not end so bad for us. Mr. Dong, your vice principal, invited our students here to enter the contest. What did this young man do? He fought my disciples on your doorstep and injured two of them, including Xiong Lei and his main pet. If the bears join the game today, we will win faster!”

The members of Phoenix Peak all seemed to be displeased at those words.
Unfortunately, the worst part that Zhou Yunchan mentioned was true. That day, the contestants from Phoenix Peak Academy were all met with a real defeat. They had to admit it; unless they wanted to further embarrass themselves for being a loser.
But .. It didn't feel right when the vice principal of a competing academy harassed them in the open.
However, this did not mean they would see Su Ping charged without helping.
Lu Guoxue said, “Master Zhou, we should talk based on facts, don't you agree? Professor Su usually doesn't come here. Maybe you saw someone else attacking your student—”
Dong Mingsong raised his hand to stop him. He did want to support Su Ping as the vice principal, yet he could not allow the matter to escalate any further. If someone who was careless got the wrong message and claimed that the Phoenix Peak Academy had ambushed their rivals before the contest just to win, the consequences would be worse than losing the match.
Dong Mingsong shook her head at Luo Guxue and spoke to the other vice school heads using the best attitude she could manage. “Zhou... I know Professor Su hurt your students, we admit that. But wasn't it started by one of your students who provoked Master Su first? As an advanced teacher, it was right for Su Ping to teach courtesy to the mischievous younger generation. I asked Mr. Su to come today just because ‘lesson’ was unfortunately before the contest. But you can't cross the line.”
Zhou Yunchan looked at Dong Mingsong completely angered and decided not to aggravate the situation. They won the full victory that day. As long as they received an apology, there was nothing more to ask for.
“True. Since you say so, we will end this matter with an apology that you owe us. ” Zhou Yunchan sitting back. Dong Mingsong nodded and looked at Su Ping with a gaze mixed with different sentiments.
Su Ping sighed, took out an object from his pocket, and threw it at Zhou Yunchan.
“This, ‘record’mu.”[1]
Zhou Yunchan stared at the cassette scroll on his lap with his jaw open. So did Fei Yanbo, and everyone watching.
Tape. As in, the original recording.
“Come, I have to stop halfway to pick it up from the store,” Su Ping said. “I spent three coins. Do I need it to keep your mouth shut or something? ”
Zhou Yunchan got up from his seat. His beard stood stiff from great anger. “This embarrassing and disrespectful bastard!”
Fei Yanbo also stood up. “Excessive jokes!”
“Su Ping!” Dong Mingsong lost her composure. He expected Su Ping to smooth things out, not worsen them!
Su Ping did not look worried. “That's the only ‘explanation’ you got from me today. Take it or leave it. I don't know, is this how Berserking Blade Academy is usually? You send your students to harass me, they get beaten up many times, and they ask for some help from the parents, who want me to give them some footage. Ouch, shy.”
“WHY DO YOU—” Zhou Yunchan and Fei Yanbo were so angry that they started shaking.
Su Ping continued with a smirk, “Don't give me ‘ accidents before that contest’. These people know there's a contest coming up, shouldn't they be staying somewhere safe instead of sticking their stupid noses on me? Okay, now they're getting into trouble because of their stupidity, and you expect someone else to answer?
“I mean, what are they thinking? Just imagine what will happen to them after they graduate. Say, they will be sent to the expedition mission the next day. Before that happens, they go into an illegal underground arena, inflame someone they can't handle, and have their teeth pulled out. What are they, suicide squads? “They should feel lucky because I dealt with them. Why is no one thanking me?”
Luo Guxue and Lan He listened with widened eyes. They had never seen and would never trust this side of Su Ping.
Zhou Yunchan felt his heart ache from anger. It had been decades since someone had spoken to him in such a manner. Even Dong Mingsong could not insult him like this.
Fei Yanbo shouted, “As a teacher, you unethically attacked our student and failed to see his injustice! Goody. Let's fight and see which part of yourself deserves that bad attitude! Your Dragon Nerakamu, or your pitiful tongue?”
“Hmph-deep. A fight? Are you serious?”
Fei Yanbo's eyes almost flashed with anger. “I DON'T CARE who you are or who your advocate is. You can retract those words right now, or you will go into the ambulance! I'll make sure of it!”
While speaking, Fei Yanbo glared at Luo Guxue and Lan He to warn them against making any sudden movements.
