Is It Weird for a Guy to Apply to a Witch School?
Chapter 671 -
Chapter 671: Security Bureau: On Duty Today, Ran into a Teaching Assistant
“One... one million!”
At this moment, they were utterly astonished by such a number, to the point that even their previous fear was replaced by something unknown.
They took out their phones and checked the fifty thousand that had just been credited, while I quietly waited for them to react.
After all, one million was simply too much for a low-income ordinary family.
But... if they were to actually use it, it seemed... not too much, either.
One million couldn't support a family to live wealthy forever, and they were thinking the same.
“One... one million isn’t enough!”
After they finished this sentence, I didn't know where they found the courage, perhaps... it was the Security Bureau call they had just made?
Or my nonchalant tone just now?
“One million isn't enough? Sure enough... I knew your appetite wasn't enough. Then how about two million?”
“Two million! Two million is enough... enough— Mmm... Mmm!”
The woman heard this number, subconsciously trembled, and hurriedly prepared to agree, as if afraid I would go back on my word, but she was tightly muffled by the man next to her.
"Damn it, a woman with long hair and short wisdom. Do you have a right to speak in this house? The two million she mentioned doesn't count! Five million! I want five million!"
At this moment, he hissed angrily at the woman he was holding down, like a gambler, opening his mouth to test my bottom line, or like a scoundrel performing reverse haggling with me.
“Alright.”
I said it nonchalantly, although... the number five million did somewhat exceed my expectation.
I naturally had quite a bit of money, but most of it was Transcendent Materials, mainly Red Copper, Mithril, and Arcanite Gold, etc.
Hmm... and those assets in the Expansion Realm, I think I used those assets to have Millian help me develop a support group?
But to actually withdraw millions in liquid cash in a short period of time... it would indeed be troublesome...
However, at this moment, they seemed to be provoked again by my nonchalant attitude.
“No! What he said doesn't count! Ten million! We were talking about ten million!”
At this moment, the woman whose mouth was covered seemed to have finally realized something.
Their greedy nature drove them to constantly double and increase the price.
Even the haggling faces in a vegetable market could barely describe their ambition at this moment.
Because what they were thinking now... was to completely turn their lives around!
Numbers they never dared to imagine before jumped out of their mouths, as if they regretted not having learned more mathematics in elementary school.
Because their asking price had already risen to the unit of one hundred million.
I slightly tilted my head and looked at Big Sis Bai, as if signaling her to look at the fools.
Tens of billions... hehe... if this number were converted into paper currency and placed under their house, it would be enough to move the foundation up by one meter.
When their price reached the unit of one hundred million... honestly, I already saw them as a joke.
I originally intended to use money to cut off the last thread of connection in my heart.
My original intention was to repay the money they spent on feeding me since childhood.
Now it seems that won't be necessary, or rather, from the moment I agreed to their endless price hikes, I already started treating them as a joke.
Until the tone of their own quotes also slowed down.
“Keep quoting. Why did you stop? Did you realize you were embarrassed?”
I asked.
“You... you never intended to pay, right! I don't want one hundred billion anymore! Two million! No, two million! We just want two million!”
At this moment, they perfectly demonstrated the greed and timidity of a gambler.
First, an endless climb, and after realizing the risk, they slowly thought about securing their capital, and after choosing to secure their capital, they still wanted to make a small profit.
That one million seemed to have already entered their wallets, becoming a bargaining chip for them, and they shamelessly continued to haggle with me.
“We know you are Yang Yuehan, and we don't doubt it... we also know you want to completely get rid of your connection with us... We only need two million. Once the two million is credited, no matter what you want to do, even if you pretend you don't have this son, it's fine...”
They seemed to feel the chips were not enough and wanted to find corresponding reasons for their behavior.
But it must be said that... after discussing money, their intelligence seemed to occupy the high ground again.
They even figured out what I was here for, merely based on my current behavior and the few sentences I spoke.
“Dad! Mom! What are you doing!”
And just as the conversation continued to this stage, Yang Yunhan stumbled out of the study, completely distraught.
The process of him recovering didn't take much time, which also meant that the time I spent conversing with them was equally short, including the constant increase from one million to tens of billions, which only took a few minutes.
They demonstrated with practical action that a person's greed had no bottom line.
The only thing that could keep them clear-headed was... when they started to doubt whether I could pay the price they quoted.
“You little brat! Why are you interrupting now!”
At this moment, they frantically denounced their "little son."
After all, given the current situation, one was a "big son" who could definitely take out millions to sever the parent-child relationship, and the other was a "little son" who disappointed them more and more and offered no hope.
The priority was clear at a glance; they only cared about who could bring them benefits.
“Get back to your study! This is no place for you to talk!”
After this sentence was roared out, the atmosphere here inexplicably fell into a period of silence, as if something was constantly being suppressed, with rationality completely cut off by this one roar.
“Little Han, don't mind him...”
“Did... did you two ever care about my feelings!”
The man sitting on the sofa hadn't finished his sentence when he was interrupted by another extremely high-decibel voice.
This hysterical roar and questioning, accompanied by a cracking voice and highly excited emotions, completely vented the grievances he had suffered during this period.
He had never questioned his "parents" so loudly.
The excited emotion stimulated adrenaline, causing his frail body to constantly tremble.
This was the first time.
This was the first time he had desperately raised his voice in this house, so much so that he didn't seem to notice his voice cracked.
“I’m really fed up with you two! I've never seen such terrible parents as you! You are...”
Before he could finish his words, the figure stood up and came in front of him.
His hysterical posture instantly withered, and even the volume of his voice uncontrollably weakened by a few degrees.
Slap—!
With a crisp slap resounding through the house, their little son was directly slapped to the ground.
The force of this slap far exceeded Yang Yunhan's tolerance limit.
He only knew that he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
A buzzing tinnitus came from his left ear and gradually caused both ears to lose hearing.
His mouth also felt numb, followed by a slow onset of severe pain, and a metallic, rusty smell gradually spread.
At this point, his self-proclaimed dignity was completely shattered by this slap.
The grievances he had suffered, the anger he wanted to express, the attention he wanted to seek, the resolve he had made, the courage he had mustered, the words he had weighed, everything he had expended to get here... was all slapped away.
And his heart was also completely shattered under this slap, with not even dregs remaining...
Just as they were still thinking about the money, the siren of the Security Bureau's vehicle could be vaguely heard outside the window.
They were rushing here, and the sound was getting louder.
I glanced outside the window with slight surprise.
Was the Security Bureau's efficiency... this fast?
Or was it that, being close to the college entrance examination, they were always on high alert during this period?
But it didn't matter.
As the saying goes, the cart will find its way to the mountain.
They had dug a huge pit for themselves.
However, hearing that the Security Bureau personnel had arrived, the two people opposite me became the most frightened.
After all, in their opinion, if the Security Bureau got involved in this matter, then... they would have nothing to do with the money.
So, they visibly became anxious and quickly stood up, speaking words that were close to nonsense.
Not long after, a team of Security Bureau personnel directly entered the house without any effort, because the front door had not been closed after I barged in.
“Security Bureau on official business! We received a report that someone... hmm?”
As soon as the Security Bureau personnel rushed in, they were surprised by the scene before them.
A youth lying on the ground, spitting blood, a disheveled woman being held by the collar, and a middle-aged man and woman who rushed forward as they entered, frantically obstructing their work.
“Officer! Officer... I called the police, I did! We're fine, it's just a family dispute, we are really fine!”
“Yes! We are fine! Really fine!”
“Move aside! Whether you are fine or not is not up to you two to decide!”
The leading woman in this team frowned and forcefully pushed the two people away.
No matter what, she was a graduate of a Transcendent Academy.
Her heightened perspective made her look down on these ordinary people, especially those who obstructed their work!
In such situations, they usually used the pressure of their life level to suppress the entire scene.
They had only lost their Transcendent power, but their life level remained.
However, after losing the Magic Power Source that allowed them to continuously Witchify, their life level also continuously decreased until it dropped to a level only slightly higher than ordinary people.
The path of the Transcendent was like this; once you stepped onto this path, not progressing meant falling behind.
“You! And you! What is the situation? Explain clearly! Who is this woman you are holding!”
“I advise you not to speak to her like that.”
At this moment, I also stood up.
After all, the other party immediately pointed the finger at Big Sis Bai, so I couldn't sit still anymore.
“You! A student from a Transcendent Academy?!”
The other party's expression immediately changed drastically upon seeing me!
My attire, coupled with the unusual white hair and red pupils, caused them to subconsciously draw their weapons.
After all, if the other party was truly a student from a Transcendent Academy, then they really couldn't afford to provoke them!
The firearms they were equipped with were only for self-defense.
After all, firearms posed a threat to students of Transcendent Academies, but the threat was not significant.
The existence of firearms was mostly to persuade the other party to calm down and then negotiate, and of course, another point was to provide a bit of psychological comfort to the team members performing the duty.
Therefore, the first thing they would do upon encountering a student from a Transcendent Academy was to report it.
Then, after communication between the Security Bureau and the Academy Disciplinary Squad, there was a long time difference.
What they feared the most was encountering this situation!
“Firearms?”
At this moment, I also saw their appearance as if facing a formidable enemy, but I hadn't expected firearms to be so widely distributed in the Security Bureau.
But I wasn't afraid.
With my own Time Sense and the powerful physique of a Body Cultivator, even if I stood there and let them shoot, they wouldn't hit me with a single bullet.
“You people from the Security Bureau dare to point a gun at me without first clarifying the situation... Do you know the consequences of doing that?”
“You! Don't come closer! I'm warning you, don't come closer! Or I'll shoot immediately!”
“I hate it when someone points a gun at me.”
I took out the phone that the academy issued to students, which I hadn't used for a long time.
After all, I hated trouble, and the fastest way to prove my identity... was through my phone's personal information.
And before displaying this, I also needed to show some means; otherwise... they might think I had no temper.
Before they could react, I had already appeared in front of her, and my right hand was already gripping the handgun tightly held by the leader.
Of course, I wasn't trying to snatch the gun; I merely exerted a simple force, and the firearm in her hand was already twisted and deformed.
The metal alloy casing was equally unable to withstand the power of my Body Cultivation.
Bang—!
With a loud explosion, a bullet inside the gun was fired due to the sudden shock.
However, the fired bullet was completely unable to pass through the gun barrel that I had already pinched and deformed, resulting immediately in a barrel burst.
The exploding bullet sent the deformed handgun flying, and it scattered into countless fragments.
All of this happened only in an extremely short period of time, so fast that they didn't even have time to react.
And I acted as if nothing had happened.
But the others looked as if they were facing a great enemy.
However, they were currently within my Domain.
Even if they just wanted to pull the trigger, they couldn't perform such a simple action.
I looked at this Squad Leader.
The fear on her face hadn't decreased at all.
Only she understood... she hadn't pulled the trigger at all.
She didn't dare, because pulling it would mean completely tearing off the facade with a student who wielded Transcendent power!
As a former student of the Witch Academy, she clearly understood just how rule-breaking a Witch Academy spellbook was for a student!
Even a student in the lower grades mastering a spellbook could cause horrifying amounts of damage.
But what had she done now?
She pulled the trigger!
Just as she was despairing, she felt something smooth being slipped into her hand.
What was slipped into her hand was my phone, followed by my voice.
“A Teaching Assistant from the Witch Academy is on official business. What is the Security Bureau doing here to join the fun?”
“What... what?”
At this moment, she suddenly felt the power that was choking her throat dissipate, and she finally gasped for air.
But when she heard the words "Witch Academy Teaching Assistant," her heart instantly leaped into her throat!
She stared blankly at the phone that was forcefully stuffed into her hand, disregarding the pain from her handgun being crushed and exploding.
This phone was a unique model from the Witch Academy, and it was also Magic Power-driven, making it impossible to imitate.
And she looked at the page displayed on the phone...
And the information and photo on it...
Especially the title... the two words, "Teaching Assistant," were exceptionally glaring!
They... they were on duty and had actually run into a Teaching Assistant!
This... what kind of luck was this?!
