Chapter 53:Discilining The Kids

"Impressive, you're fit to be the leader of this class, Yang Zhai. I am getting impressed by you again and again. The second Elder told me that you are well versed with clan rules. Now, I can see why he said this. You are indeed well versed with the clan rules." Elder Wang was impressed by Yang Zhai and praised him before turning to look at the other kids.

"He is right, you are obligated to follow his instructions. He has more authority over you all than the others, excluding the clan leader and the Academy leader, even more than the elders. This means that if an elder tells you to do something but Yang Zhai stops you from that thing, then you are required to follow Yang Zhai, not the elder. Such as, if there are two decisions to a single thing and an elder tells you to choose the first decision, but Yang Zhai tells you to choose the second decision, then you must choose the second decision."

"You heard the elder, now bow," Yang Zhai said casually.

"Elder, can we please not do that? Is there another way?"

Both Ci An and Hong My were unwilling to bow, so they asked elder Wang.

"No, there is not. You need to do what Yang Zhai is telling you to."

When Ci An and Hong Mi heard this, they bowed unwillingly to Yang Zhai.

"Now, slap each other with full force." Yang Zhai repeated.

"You…" Ci An was about to shout at Yang Zhai when she looked at Elder Wang's narrowed eyes, she stopped.

"Bam!" There was a loud sound as Ci An slapped Hong My with full force, making his left cheek red.

"Bamm!" There was a loud sound again as Hong Mi returned the debt to Ci An with complete payback, without holding any strength behind.

Both of their left cheeks were completely red because of the slaps.

"Are you satisfied now?" Ci An said this and turned around. She was about to leave.

"Where are you going?" Yang Zhai inquired from behind.

"Home, do I need to tell you that too?" Ci An said angrily. Her expression completely told how angry she was.

"You need to bow and slap each other again." "What do you mean by that?" 

"Simple, you listened to the elder Wang's order right now but didn't follow my command. This is why you need to be punished." Yang Zhai said casually.

Ci An:"..."

Hong Mi:"..."

Elder Wang:"..."

Everyone:"..."

Everyone was speechless at Yang Zhai's statement. Just what kind of twisted logic is this? Even Elder Wang did not expect that. Did Ci An and Hong Mi steal Yang Zhai's money when they were children?

"Elder…,"

Ci An looked toward Elder Wang, as if begging for mercy and was about to say something but was interrupted by Yang Zhai's voice, 

"Do you want to slap each other until the night arrives? Do you not want to follow my order again?"

Ci An and Hong Mi understood what Yang Zhai meant. It meant that if they ask the elder and doesn't slap each other, then he would make them slap each other for the entire day, thus

Ci An and Hong Mi slapped each other one more time after bowing to Yang Zhai at a 15-degree angle.

"One more time, do it,"

"Brother Yang, are you taking revenge on us? Just what did we don't you? Can you please explain why we need to do this again? We have already been punished, right" Hong Mi could not contain himself anymore and questioned Yang Zhai with a serious expression.

"Easy, the first time you were punished for not following the rules on Elder's command. The second time you were punished for not following me and the third time I want to see if you have learned your lesson or not." 

Everyone:"..."

"Did you hear him? Hahaha,"

"Yeah, hahaha, they are definitely not going to forget about today. They are going to have nightmares."

"Thank God, I am not the one who rejected Yang Zhai as a leader. Otherwise, I would have been slapped three times as well."

"Yang Zhai is obviously teaching them a lesson. But his reasons are reasonable. "

"Reasonable, you say? Hahaha,"

"Whatever, we must not disobey him in the future and must be careful when speaking to him. He is our leader."

"I had some objections, but I didn't voice them. Now, I am thankful. My objections have already been cleared."

When Yang Zhai heard the kids, he smiled. He had succeeded in his plan. His plans could be put into action now. He had already established his authority among the kids. And he was sure that Ci An and Hong Mi had also learned their lesson.

"Do it." When Yang Zhai saw Ci An and Hong Mi standing quietly, he said forcefully and seriously.

In the end, Ci An and Hong Mi were kids after all. They could not bear such pressure of everyone making fun of them and Yang Zhai forcing them as well. And their hope was also broken when they thought of the first two slaps, Elder Wang would definitely not help them, and if they kept on disobeying Yang Zhai again and again, he would not let them leave either. They understood that they had to do what Yang Zhai said.

Therefore, they bowed to Yang Zhai and slapped each other once more without saying anything anymore.

When Elder Wang saw this, he was amazed by Yang Zhai's performance. He now understood the reason why Yang Zhai had done all of this. It was all to make everyone obedient. He had disciplined everyone on the first day, making it easier for his future self.

"He can be a great leader if he develops properly. His planning and ways to deal with things are impressive. I wonder who taught him all this. He is definitely a talent." Elder Wang thought to himself.

After Ci An and Hong Mi slapped each other, Yang Zhai left. He could not overdo it. Otherwise, he might force the elder into changing his decision. Therefore, he left. He needed to wait for Elder Wang to officially make him the class leader and let the others know. This way, his position would become more prominent, allowing him to fully control the kids of his class. 

And Yang Zhai had made them slap each other to develop a hatred in their hearts for each other. In his previous life, Hong Mi and Ci An had become good friends and had even married each other. And they had become a force that could help each other with every problem. And if this really happened in this life, Yang Zhai might be in trouble. Yang Zhai did not need to do anything else and had to only develop a certain distrust for each other in Ci An's and Hong Mi's hearts. 

Even a little distrust was enough to destroy a relationship. In a relationship, both parties needed to believe fully in each other. Even a little distrust from one party could lead to great problems. 

At night,

Yang Zhai was outside the village on the outskirts of the forest. For the past three days, he had been looking for the materials in the forest. He had almost gotten the materials he needed for the refinement of the Rank 2 Ka Strength. Right now, he was finding a material known as the Ice-Fire. It was a rank-one material, so he required the bulk of it to refine a Rank two Ka.

The place he was at was filled with Ice-Fire trees. These trees were one of the four types of trees that were the most on this mountain. The trunk of this type of tree was like a normal tree trunk, but its leaves were made of ice, and in these leaves coursed fire and vapor exited the leaves. This was the reason why the places surrounding the Ice-Fire trees were misty all year around. But the leaves did not melt, nor was this place cold. In fact, it was warming and cold at the same time. It could make a person's body relax. It didn't make a person's body too cold or too hot.

Yang Zhai could remember that this Ice-Fire material was somewhere around this place. 

Yang Zhai went a little deeper into the forest and saw something gleaming. He went closer and saw an ice cube around a foot long, and in the cube was coursing a fire like a snake. He looked around and saw some more ice cubes. 

"I found it. Now, it won't be long before I advance to the Rank 1 Mid-stage." 

Yang Zhai smiled a little. He found the thing he was looking for. He hurriedly activated the bloody storage Ka and stored some ice cubes in it. Now, he only needed a human, and he knew who would fit the most. It was not difficult for him to find a human being, after all, he had already become the leader of his class.
