Let's go back to this morning.

Chongzong and Uesugi Yui, after saying goodbye to Uesugi Tano, also entered the new school.

The feeling between high school and junior high is quite different.

Talking about junior high students still makes people feel like they are children.

But high school students are already half adults.

What exactly happened between the third year of junior high and the first year of high school?

Actually, maybe nothing happened at all.

But once labeled as a high school student, children have to grow up to adapt to their new identity.

Chongzong and Uesugi Yui were not assigned to the same class.

Uesugi Yui is in Grade 1 Class A, while Chongzong is in Grade 1 Class D.

As soon as he entered the classroom, Chongzong first looked at the blackboard, found his position on the seating chart, and then walked to his seat.

However, Chongzong's seat only had a desk, no chair.

Chongzong's first reaction was to look around to see if there were any other desks missing chairs, but it seemed that only his was missing.

Then Chongzong glanced at the blackboard again to see if every seat in the classroom was assigned to a student.

If not, he could pull a chair over from an empty spot.

Unfortunately, all the seats in the entire classroom were taken.

"Well, I'll just sit on the desk for now."

Thinking this, Chongzong just sat on the desk when suddenly the desk couldn't bear his weight and broke off from the connecting foot. Luckily, Chongzong reacted quickly, immediately stood up and moved to the side, avoiding being involved in a fall.

Amidst the noise of the desk collapsing to the ground, Chongzong faintly heard laughter coming from the classroom door.

Following the sound, he saw two boys who, upon noticing Chongzong's gaze, instead of avoiding it, showed even more contemptuous smiles.

"It seems they are deliberately trying to mess with me."

Chongzong didn't get angry. Before getting angry, he was more puzzled. These two had no grudges against him, so why were they targeting him?

Were they hired by someone else?

But it didn't make sense since Chongzong had just arrived at this high school and had no enemies or reasons to be targeted.

With this in mind, Chongzong walked straight toward the two boys.

People came and went around him, but Chongzong didn't care.

It might even be better this way.

After all, he looked fragile and easily bullied.

If he didn't show some authority now, this kind of thing would never end.

The two boys who targeted Chongzong, one had dyed blond hair, and the other wore blue contact lenses.

Thus, they were referred to as Blondie and Blue Eyes.

"Hey, what do you want?" (Blondie)

Seeing Chongzong approaching them with a stern face, Blondie recklessly reached out his hand to grab Chongzong's collar.

Chongzong didn't answer, nor did he give him the chance to touch him.

Chongzong quickly took the initiative, grabbing his elbow and pulling it towards himself to throw him off balance. Following this, he extended his leg to trip his opponent's calf, causing him to stumble as he tried to regain balance. Finally, he changed hands and gave him a push on the back, sending him face-first to the ground like a dog eating feces.

"Why are you targeting me? Or who ordered you to do this?" (Chongzong)

Chongzong didn't bother to look at the blond man already lying on the ground, instead he fixed his gaze on the blue-eyed man and questioned him.

However, the blue-eyed man, obviously confused about the situation, completely ignored Chongzong's words and swung his arm to throw a punch at him.

The randomly thrown fist had no technique or power behind it, so before his fist could reach Chongzong's face, the blue-eyed man received a straight punch to his stomach from Chongzong.

The intense pain made him bend over in agony, clutching his stomach, unable to close his mouth as saliva ran down his chin.

"I'll ask one more time, who ordered you to do this?" (Chongzong)
