After being reborn, the school beauty's entire family knelt down to repent.

Three days later.

Chen Ming is currently attending classes at school. Next week, he will represent his school at the audition held by Shancheng University.

As a selected graduate, barring any mishaps, his admission to Chongqing University is a certainty.

"What are you pretending for? You just got a spot as a selected graduate from Shancheng University by luck, and you act all high and mighty all the time, thinking you're something special." A voice rang out from the back of the classroom, interrupting Chen Ming's thoughts.

He looked up and saw several of Yu Chuang's lackeys in the class looking at him with disdain.

"Do you have any problems?" Chen Ming asked calmly, even though he knew in his heart that these guys' hostility was mostly due to jealousy.

"Problems? There are huge problems. How come you were able to get the selection quota so easily? We all work harder than you!" One of them stood up, his tone clearly showing dissatisfaction.

"Chen Ziang, you're a terrible student, what are you talking about working hard for? Chen Ming earned his spot through his own exams. If you're not happy about it, then don't get a zero."

Before Chen Ming could speak, Li Yu stepped forward to defend him.

"Oh, who was speaking then? Li Yu, aren't you just Chen Ming's dog? What right do you have to yell here?" Chen Ziang retorted disdainfully, clearly not taking Li Yu seriously.

“You…” Li Yu was so angry that he couldn’t speak, but Chen Ming waved his hand, signaling him not to continue arguing.

"There's no point in talking to these guys. Even if they leave school, they'll only be social scum." Chen Ming's words hit the nail on the head, causing Chen Ziang and the others to change their expressions. Although they were angry, they couldn't find any words to refute him.

"You...you are looking for death!"

After saying that, Chen Ziang swung the stool and charged at Chen Ming.

The classroom erupted into chaos as students screamed and scattered. Li Yu quickly stepped in front of Chen Ming, trying to stop the fight. However, he was hit in the eye by a book thrown by the guy next to him.

Li Yu covered the corner of his eye, blood seeping through his fingers. Upon seeing this, Chen Ming's expression immediately turned grim.

Taking advantage of Chen Ziang's inattention, Chen Ming delivered a flying kick, sending the stool flying from Chen Ziang's hands. He then sidestepped Chen Ziang's fist.

Chen Ming reacted quickly and accurately, clearly indicating that this was not the first time he had encountered such a situation.

He grabbed Chen Ziang's arm and slammed him heavily to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.

"Quiet!"

Just then, the homeroom teacher's voice came from outside the door.

"I could hear a lot of noise coming from our classroom from far away. What's going on?!"

Upon hearing the homeroom teacher's voice, the class instantly fell silent.

Only then did the homeroom teacher notice that Chen Ziang was lying on the ground, while Li Yu was standing to the side with blood seeping from the corner of his eye.

"Li Yu, what happened to your eyes?" The homeroom teacher asked hurriedly upon seeing this, and at the same time called a classmate to help take Li Yu to the infirmary.

It was only at the infirmary that the homeroom teacher learned some of the details.

"This is absolutely outrageous! You're all still students, yet you're always fighting and brawling. What kind of behavior is this? School is a place for learning, not a place for you to show off your strength and violence," the homeroom teacher criticized sternly.

"Teacher, Chen Ziang started it; we were just defending ourselves," Li Yu tried to explain, but the homeroom teacher didn't respond immediately and instead told him to treat his wounds first.

“I will report this matter to the school leaders, and all of you will have to accept the corresponding punishment.”

“Teacher Hu, this really has nothing to do with us. It was Chen Ziang and his friends who provoked us first, and they even attacked us first. Chen Ming had no choice but to fight back.” Li Yu added calmly. He didn’t want Chen Ming to bear the consequences alone. After all, the selection quota for civil servants had just been confirmed, and it would be a huge loss if it were canceled because of this incident.

The homeroom teacher, Ms. Hu, frowned, clearly disappointed by this violence among students.

He glanced around at the students present, then said sternly, "No matter who started it, fighting is wrong. The school will conduct a thorough investigation into this matter, and you all need to reflect on your behavior."

The others all showed indifferent expressions after hearing what Teacher Hu said.

He seemed intent on dragging Chen Ming down with him.

Soon, this incident caused a huge uproar at the school.

Chen Ziang and several students who participated in the fight were temporarily suspended from classes pending further action by the school.

Although Chen Ming and Li Yu were deemed to have acted in self-defense, they were still given warnings, and Chen Ming's selection as a civil servant was also revoked.

Although the principal still favored Chen Ming after learning what had happened, he had no choice but to make this decision due to pressure from the other parents.

After all, Chen Ziang is still in the hospital after being thrown by Chen Ming.

Although Chen Ming didn't care about the selection quota for civil servants at all, he couldn't accept the school's handling of the matter.

In that situation, if he hadn't reacted quickly, both he and Li Yu would probably have been injured much more seriously.

"Principal, I'll let this matter slide, but why should Li Yu also be warned?"

Chen Ming barged into the principal's office and demanded an explanation from the principal.

"Chen Ming, I know you and Li Yu are both good students, but the school has its rules and regulations. Fighting is not allowed under any circumstances," the principal explained earnestly, trying to make Chen Ming understand the school's position.

"But, Principal, we were forced to fight back. Are we just supposed to let them bully us without even the right to defend ourselves?" Chen Ming's tone was tinged with dissatisfaction and helplessness.

The principal was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I understand how you feel, Chen Ming. But the school must be responsible for all students and cannot allow individual incidents to disrupt the school's order. As for Li Yu's punishment, I will consider reducing it, but your situation is rather special, so it's a bit..."

"Just because Yu Chuang's father is one of the school's shareholders?"

Just then, Chen Ming said something that surprised the principal, whose face immediately turned somewhat awkward. He hadn't expected Chen Ming to directly point out this sensitive issue.

Indeed, Yu Chuang's father is a major shareholder of the school, which to some extent influenced the school's handling of the incident.

After all, last time Chen Ming refused to settle privately with Yu Chuang, Yu Chuang had to be detained for seven days. Yu Chengqing would naturally not let this opportunity pass.

The principal was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Chen Ming, I understand your dissatisfaction, but this matter is rather complicated, and there's nothing I can do about it."

"Then Principal, you just need to tell me whether Yu Chengqing was behind this."

The principal did not answer Chen Ming's question directly, but instead avoided the topic, trying to divert Chen Ming's attention.

"Chen Ming, you are a smart student and should understand that some things are not simply black and white. The school will try its best to be fair, but sometimes we also need to take into account various factors."
