My First Day at School Part II

“Bai Zhe, you old dog. You finally came?” Yi Han and his friends shouted from the back of the classroom, then walked toward Bai Zhe.

When Yi Han mentioned Bai Zhe’s name, everyone was in shock. They had to carefully look at the boy again to realize that it was really Bai Zhe. But today he was not the skinny, long-faced Bai Zhe of previous times; he looked relaxed, which made anyone who laid their eyes on him feel calm.

Bai Zhe drew a qi character on a desk near him before dragging it over to block Yi Han. And of course, when the boy saw Bai Zhe’s reaction, he lifted the desk, trying to throw it aside.

But…

“Ouch!” screamed Yi Han when he touched the desk. The pain that ran throughout his body was like thousands of bees had stung him.

“What are you playing at, Young Master Yi?” Bai Zhe tried not to show his smile and asked the boy this with a curious expression.

“You! You…OUCH! What are you looking at? Call an ambulance! It…it hurts. Ouch!”

Yi Han shouted at his friends in the back. He then writhed on the floor and screamed because of the pain. Everybody turned pale except Bai Hu, who did not show any emotion.

What Yi Han encountered was a qi character that cursed people to feel like they had been stung by bees all over their bodies. The curse would not be broken until the qi power in the character had gone out. Bai Zhe had just started practicing his qi yesterday, so he did not have much power. The curse would be broken in six hours.

“Shall we get the teachers?” Bai Zhe asked the head girl. She suddenly came to her senses and went out to tell the teachers immediately.

The school went crazy after that. Yi Han was taken to the hospital by ambulance. Bai Zhe did not feel anything. He went to his seat and read his book without any concern for Yi Han. His classmates looked at him like he was a stranger. Normally, he would be shaking when he saw Yi Han, not acting as calmly as a well-educated scholar like this.

Bang!

“What have you done to Yi Han?” One of Yi Han’s friends banged on Bai Zhe’s desk, making everyone turn to look at them.

“I was just blocking him with the desk so he couldn’t hurt me. Did you see me do anything?” answered Bai Zhe.

“Then why did he fall screaming to the floor like that?” the friend shouted.

“I don’t know. Maybe he was just trying to skip class and sleep at the hospital. What about you? Do you want to go to the hospital?” said Bai Zhe. He stared at the boy and released a small amount of his deadly psychic power.

Drip…drip…drip…

Smash!

The first sound was the sound of the boy's urine dripping onto the floor. The second was him collapsing.

“Do you smell something?” the girl who sat near Bai Zhe asked her friend.

“Seems like he pooped, didn’t he?” said Bai Zhe, using his fingers to squeeze his nose shut. He looked at the boy who had fallen to the floor with disgust. He did the same thing that these guys had done to him.

“Black magic! He’s a black magic practitioner!” Another boy from the group pointed at Bai Zhe.

“If I am, I will take care of you as well. Who knows? Maybe this guy is on some drugs.” He gave an angelic smile. It made all the girls’ faces red; they even had to look down.

Yi Han’s crew went quiet. Chills ran down their spines when they heard Bai Zhe mention drugs and looked at them like he knew something.

Yi Han had used his dad’s position to smuggle out the drugs, which had been seized as evidence, for them to use. They did not know how Bai Zhe knew this because Bai Zhe always tried to avoid them as much as possible. Bai Zhe would never even set foot near where they hung out.

The reason why Bai Zhe knew this was that he could smell something strange from these boys, and he could sense that their organs were destroyed by these strange things. When compared to the memories of this body, he guessed that it must be drugs. He was sure after he saw their faces after he had mentioned this.

“Did they do drugs?” The girls started chattering.

“That’s the reason why they bullied Bai Zhe. Because he knows their secret,” said another girl.

“Head girl, we should tell the teachers and run drug tests on them. They should go to rehab. What if one day they go crazy? They could hurt us,” a girl at the front told the head girl.

That morning ended up with Yi Han going to the hospital and his crew having to take drug tests and getting suspended so they could be sent to rehab. The group that made Bai Zhe’s life at school hell was gone.

After this mess, the class started. The first class was mathematics, which the original Bai Zhe hated. This was because the teacher usually called on him to solve problems or asked him questions.

‘Bai Zhe might not realize that this teacher is trying to help him. This subject needs to be practiced a lot in order to be able to do it well,’ He thought.

Creak.

The door was open, and a middle-aged man with a lean body walked in. The head girl told everyone to stand up. Bai Hu just did what the memories in this body told him to.

“Good morning.” The head girl bowed, and the others followed.

“Sit down.” The teacher allowed them to sit.

Bai Zhe searched for the teacher’s name in his memories. His name was Yun Hai. From memory, the teacher had never shouted at the boy who was the owner of this body, who had not been very good at studying. In fact, he had tried to help the boy as much as possible.

“Bai Zhe, please come out and show the answers to all of yesterday's homework to the class,” the teacher said.

“Sir, why does it have to be him? We will have to go over the answers all over again. It’s just a waste of time,” a boy in the front claimed. He was a nerd with a big ego and did not like Bai Zhe, who sat in the back.

“He’s not good, but he can improve,” Yun Hai told the boy, making him fall silent.

Bai Zhe walked to the front. He did not even bring his notebook, because he could remember it all. The same boy chuckled and gave him the side-eye.

But everything had changed. He answered every problem correctly, making every jaw drop, even Yun Hai’s.

“Did I get it?” Bai Zhe asked the teacher after he finished all of the problems.

Yun Hai looked at the blackboard and carefully checked each of the answers. When he found that each was correct, he gently patted Bai Zhe's shoulder and gave him encouragement.

“You did great. You finally got it all. Keep up with your hard work,” he praised him. Yun Hai knew that to be able to answer all of the problems correctly, it would have taken Bai Zhe, who was not good at mathematics, much more effort than others.

“Thank you. I understand that you called on me frequently so I could do better, right?” he asked.

“Yes. It’s great that you understand. Now, take your seat,” answered the teacher.

“Yes, sir,” Bai Zhe said before going to his seat.

Yun Hai started to explain each of the problems and taught the next chapter. He frequently looked at Bai Zhe, who appeared brighter than before. Every time he asked the class whether they understood him, he would look at Bai Zhe. When he saw the boy nod, he continued teaching.

Bai Hu went to the library after school. He booked a computer, put on headphones, and searched for video clips teaching foreign languages. He read a foreign language textbook while he was listening to the pronunciation of things.

He finally switched off everything and left the library when the clock reached 5 p.m., in order to go home because he had a sewing doll job waiting for him.

‘I was busy healing my body and preparing for qi practice yesterday. I totally forgot that I have a sewing doll job. It has to be done by tomorrow. Better take care of it now,’

He thought to himself and walked toward the same alley that he had used in the morning. Then, he jumped up to the roof and advanced from house to house toward his home.
