Chapter 58: Report! No. 8 and No. 16, Cheating!

Chapter 58: Report! No. 8 and No. 16, Cheating!

One after another, teams were forcefully eliminated—

Leaving everyone in the hall dumbfounded.

Even the military personnel, who had seen everything, couldn't hide their surprise.

This… this had never happened before.

Since the military began hosting the joint training camp,

They had never seen a mass elimination of this scale.

---

Shock and Confusion

The principals and Education Bureau officials were at a complete loss.

Some principals, seeing their teams teleported out only seconds apart, were left speechless.

What was going on?!

Nearly 30 teams, all wiped out at once?!

Who had done this?!

How was this even possible?!

Even if one person won, they couldn't have eliminated so many.

Something wasn't right.

---

Looking for Clues

Instead of focusing on Wu Chengyuan,

The principals rushed to check on their own teams.

They needed answers.

What happened?

Who attacked them?

How did it happen?

---

The Clue: Arc Burns

As the principals examined their students,

One injury pattern stood out—

Arc burns.

Nearly every single team had suffered from severe electrical burns.

---

A Thunder Mage?

Could it be…

A lightning mage?!

Impossible.

No thunder mage could be this powerful.

Or…

Did they all just get struck by lightning at the same time?

That seemed…

Highly unlikely.

---

A Sudden Outburst

Just as the room filled with confusion—

Something unexpected happened.

The eliminated teams suddenly stood up.

And instead of shame or defeat—

Their faces burned with rage.

Some even shook with anger.

Then—

In perfect unison, led by Wu Chengyuan—

They turned to the principals and Education Bureau leaders and shouted:

---

"REPORT!"

"CHEATING!"

"NO. 8 MIDDLE SCHOOL AND NO. 16 MIDDLE SCHOOL, CHEATING!"

---

Total Chaos

The entire hall fell silent for a moment.

Then, an explosion of whispers, gasps, and disbelief rippled through the crowd.

The Education Bureau Director, Director Yang, immediately stood up.

"Cheating?"

If this was true—

If fraud had occurred in the joint training—

Then this was a serious scandal.

It could mean the entire event would be canceled.

---

The Bureau's Dilemma

The Education Bureau had invested everything into this training—

Manpower

Resources

Funding

If the event failed due to cheating,

There was no way they could hold another one anytime soon.

Director Yang's eyes darkened.

And then he turned to—

Principal Huang of No. 8 Middle School.

---

Principal Huang's Panic

Again.

No. 8 Middle School again.

Huang! What the hell did you do this time?!

Even though they had been comrades-in-arms,

This time—

There might be no saving him.

Principal Huang met Director Yang's gaze,

And for the first time,

He felt panic.

---

Did No. 16 Middle School Cheat?

Principal Huang knew that No. 8 Middle School had no reason to cheat.

But…

Could it be No. 16 Middle School?

If they cheated,

Then No. 8 Middle School would be guilty by association.

If that were true,

Then this wasn't just a problem—

It was a disaster.

---

A Nightmare Scenario

Fraud in the joint training camp was the greatest offense in the Education Bureau.

If a team was caught,

Minor cheating resulted in small punishments.

Major cheating resulted in disqualification.

Mass cheating could mean entire schools getting shut down.

And right now—

30 teams had been eliminated at once.

If this was cheating—

No. 8 and No. 16 Middle Schools could be dissolved entirely.

---

Principal Huang and Principal of No. 16 Middle School Lock Eyes

At that moment—

Both principals stared at each other.

Both thinking the same thing.

"I didn't cheat."

"If there was fraud… it had to be THEM!"

But neither spoke.

Neither wanted to be the first to accuse the other.

Because neither actually knew the truth.

---

Director Yang Confronts Wu Chengyuan

Director Yang walked toward Wu Chengyuan.

"Xiao Wu."

"Explain. Now."

"What do you mean by cheating?"

"And why were so many teams eliminated at once?"

---

The "Truth"

Wu Chengyuan didn't hesitate.

"Director Yang!"

"Our No. 1 Middle School team was eliminated by No. 16 Middle School!"

"And all the other teams were eliminated by No. 8 Middle School!"

The room exploded with gasps.

---

Total disbelief

"No. 16 Middle School eliminated No. 1?"

"No. 8 Middle School wiped out nearly 30 teams at once?"

"What kind of fantasy story is this?!"

It was impossible.

In everyone's minds—

No. 16 Middle School was below average.

No. 8 Middle School was at the bottom.

And their team was filled with life-skills students!

There was no way they had done this.

---

Principal Huang and No. 16's Principal in Shock

The two principals looked at each other—

And for the first time,

Both had no words.

They were just as clueless as everyone else.

---

Wu Chengyuan's "Evidence"

"We're not reporting them because they eliminated us!"

"We're reporting them because No. 8 Middle School had an absurd amount of rare equipment!"

Director Yang frowned. "Go on."

---

Unbelievable Equipment

"Not just rare equipment."

"Every single member of their team had a full Six-God Set!"

"And one of them had an epic-level item!"

The entire hall went silent.

Then—

A wave of shock spread through the crowd.

---

A New Record in Joint Training History

All members in full Six-God gear.

One with an epic item.

A coordinated stealth ambush.

30 teams wiped out in minutes.

This wasn't just rare—

This had never happened in Dayan City's joint training history.

And now—

Everyone wanted answers.
