Volume 3 + Chapter 147: Reckoning Time
“You despicable creature, wicked as a dragon! Exploiting everyone like this, retribution will come for you sooner or later—AHHHH!!”
A student participating in the monthly exam collapsed to the ground after denouncing Xia Yi.
The magical beast badge in his hand fell out.
After defeating her opponent, Xia Yi took the final badge and flipped through her exam handbook.
“Excellent. I’ve now obtained all the highest-scoring attribute badges.”
The black-haired loli smiled.
Admittedly, this exit-camping tactic had been tremendously successful. No matter which team it was or how they’d hunted magical beasts earlier, they all had to gather at the designated area eventually.
In the end, everyone encountered the tyrant Xia Yi, got beaten up, and had their badges stolen.
This approach of waiting at leisure while others exhausted themselves couldn’t have been easier!
Though engaging in such behavior did come with certain costs, such as…
The condemnation of one’s conscience.
Yet no trace of guilt could be seen on Xia Yi’s face, truly a born villain!
Another cost was her reputation.
After these deeds, Xia Yi’s reputation had hit rock bottom with zero popularity left. Everyone gritted their teeth in hatred toward this Little Evil Dragon.
“Are kings and nobles made by birth? Shall we just let Xia Yi dominate us as she pleases?”
“Exactly! How can we tolerate this? Where’s the pride of nobility? Where’s the self-confidence of Laurel Academy students?”
“Rebel! Let’s overthrow her together!”
“Well said! Down with Xia Yi’s tyranny! Points belong to everyone!”
“Then… who’ll go first?”
“…”
“…”
“…”
An awkward silence fell.
The discussion had been passionately heated moments ago, but when it came to volunteering as the vanguard, everyone stepped back. Nobody wanted to be the first sacrificial lamb.
After all, every single person present had been beaten by Xia Yi before and had some firsthand experience of her strength.
If they failed while others just stood by watching, wouldn’t they become the ultimate laughingstock?
“Hmm? Are you all planning to team up against me?”
Xia Yi glanced at the other teams and said casually:
“The exam’s almost over and I’m short on time. If anyone wants to oppose me, step forward now together. Though the consequences… well, you know.”
Seeing Xia Yi’s utterly relaxed demeanor made everyone even less confident.
Now truly nobody wanted to be the leading fool.
At least cooperating with Xia Yi ensured they wouldn’t face punishment.
“It’s nothing, Xia Yi! We just thought since the exam’s ending, we should discuss point distribution!”
“Oh, should’ve said so earlier! My misunderstanding then. Let’s prepare the distribution!”
Xia Yi gathered all the badges she’d seized.
“I’m here to do three things. Fairness! Fairness! And fairness!”
Mmm, fairness—making her own score far surpass everyone else’s. So very fair indeed!
The crowd could only seethe silently under the Little Evil Dragon’s reign.
During distribution, Xia Yi suddenly looked up in a certain direction, her expression shifting slightly.
“Xia Yi, why’d you stop?”
“…”
An ominous feeling arose in Xia Yi’s heart. This sinister aura—could it be the Witch?!
She tried pinpointing the aura’s direction more precisely, but it vanished as if it had been her imagination.
“Huh? Was I overthinking this?”
……
The monthly exam concluded.
Xia Yi and other students gathered at the designated area.
Unexpectedly, someone had already arrived early—
The trio team?
Xia Yi’s gaze met with the trio’s team.
Since they were the first team she’d targeted, they must be full of resentment and anger toward her now.
She’d mentally prepared for confrontation.
Yet the result proved surprising.
“Xia Yi, the exam’s over. Everyone’s gathering now,” James smiled.
His expression showed not a hint of grudge, as if nothing unpleasant had ever happened between them.
Even Kobe and Frank actively greeted her warmly.
This… was unexpectedly magnanimous?
Xia Yi could hardly believe her eyes.
How strange. Weren’t they ready to fight to the death earlier? Now behaving like saints?
Something felt off to Xia Yi, though she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what…
“Alright students! The monthly exam has concluded. Please hand in all magical beast badges collected in the Ruins Forest. Teachers will now begin tallying scores!”
Laurel Academy teachers started collecting badges from students to calculate final team scores.
Xia Yi submitted hers.
During the wait, the lead senior instructors also appeared.
“If it isn’t Xia Yi! How was this exam experience?”
Biden stopped before Xia Yi, unable to resist asking.
“Hello Teacher Biden!” Xia Yi greeted cheerfully. “This exam was wonderful! I loved it!”
Biden felt puzzled.
Why was this failing student still smiling?
So carefree—utterly shameless! Doesn’t she realize how humiliating this will be?
The human magic master sneered inwardly.
“Xia Yi, I hope you’ll keep smiling when the results come out.”
“Mmm, sure,” Xia Yi nodded.
What stubborn denial!
Biden thought.
Keep pretending now—you’ll panic soon enough.
“Teacher Biden, results have been tallied!”
An assisting teacher notified.
“Good. Gather everyone for the announcement.”
Biden could hardly wait upon hearing this.
All exam participants were assembled for Biden to announce the results.
“Students, the monthly exam has concluded. Now begins the results announcement…”
Finally—the public execution could begin!!
Biden couldn’t contain himself anymore.
His heart raced, hands trembled.
He was laughing madly inside!
Last-ranked failing student Xia Yi – Lawrence, step forward!!
He’d waited so long for this line, enduring hypertension from tolerating Xia Yi—who knew how much lifespan it had cost him.
Now came the final reckoning—to criticize and humiliate Xia Yi before everyone, expelling this scourge from Laurel Academy!
“Now, let me announce this month’s worst performer is Xia—Eh?!”
Biden’s voice cut off abruptly, his smile freezing as his eyeballs nearly popped out reading the results sheet.
