Chapter 29: The Eerie Object—Bro, I Think You Might Be Taking Things a Little Too Far [Please Keep Reading!!!]

Seeing the spectral entities remaining silent, Lu Wenwu continued, "The school rules only state that teachers and staff are forbidden from killing students; they don't say students can't kill each other. And I am certainly not a staff member."

"It didn't even fight back, so how can you call this a brawl? You mustn't wrongly accuse an innocent person!"

"Teacher Xin, back at the school gate, you said that we transfer students need to integrate into the collective as quickly as possible. Isn't that exactly what I'm trying to do?"

"It’s just that I’m not very good with words or debates, so I have to resort to some practical, physical actions to fit in."

"But... but you killed them..."

In the corner, a humanoid entity wearing glasses said weakly.

"Yes, I admit it, but where exactly did I violate the school rules?" Lu Wenwu argued righteously. "The rules only forbid fighting, not killing, right? How can my one-sided slaughter be considered a brawl?"

"Um... this classmate, I think you might be a bit too extreme," another nervous-looking entity whispered. "You won't be able to integrate into our collective like this."

"Oh? You say I can't integrate into this collective?"

Lu Wenwu glared, his cold, hard gaze sweeping across the entire class, his murderous intent congealing.

"Regarding me, a transfer student joining this class, who agrees and who disagrees? It’s fine, feel free to voice your opinions; I’m not an unreasonable person."

"I... I have an objection!" a non-humanoid monster shouted. "You are too violent! I don't think you belong in our class! I refuse your transfer!"

"Huh? Wait, I was just making small talk, are you actually raising an objection?"

Lu Wenwu was astonished. He strode over and sent the entity to its grave with a single punch, gaining 0.1 free attribute points.

"Be more careful in your next life."

The entire process was clean, swift, and crisp, without the slightest hesitation. It was as natural as picking up a bowl to take a sip of water.

The group of entities was stunned.

Killing at the slightest disagreement.

Are you the ghost, or are we?

Even the most ferocious ghost students in the entire school would have to take lessons from you before they could act like this!

Oh? You're already dead!

Then never mind.

"I was just saying that as a courtesy; you shouldn't have taken it seriously. I said you could raise objections, but I never said I would listen to them."

"You're all such old ghosts, how can you be so naive? Having no social experience will make you suffer after graduation."

"I’m a kind-hearted person, sharing these valuable life lessons with you in advance for free."

"No need to thank me; it’s all in a day's work."

Lu Wenwu spoke earnestly to the ghosts, as if he were the head teacher of the class.

The group of entities fell silent.

We may not be human, but you are truly a dog.

***

How could a freak like you emerge from among the humans!

"Now, does anyone else have any objections to me integrating into our big family? After all, I came here to join this class, not to disband it."

Lu Wenwu asked again, a faint sense of yearning in his eyes.

There were so many monsters here, and they were all weak; harvesting free attribute points was quite easy.

If he weren't worried about issues with the dungeon settlement, he would have just wiped out all the teachers and called it a day.

"I’ll say it again: you can raise objections. I am a person who excels at convincing people with virtue and logic."

"Look, these three classmates have already been convinced by my abundant martial virtue and profound physics; they no longer have any ghostly worries. What a beautiful passing!"

"So... does anyone else have any objections?"

"No, no, no! We all very much welcome you to join Class 1, Grade 12, Big Brother."

The group of entities scrambled to express their stance.

Oppose?

Are you kidding? Who the hell would oppose this?

He effortlessly killed the school's most notorious and strongest bully—a headache for all the teachers—with a single punch. Who would dare to have an opinion?

Is this a weak, easily bullied human transfer student?

This is nothing less than a living demon king!

Seeing the entities being so sensible, Lu Wenwu nodded in satisfaction, turned around, and returned to the podium, clearing his throat slightly.

"Well, since everyone has no objections, for the foreseeable future, I am a member of the Class 1, Grade 12 collective."

"My name isn't important. What’s important is that you recognize my face. Once I’m here, your big brother is here. Everyone, stay quiet and don't cause any trouble."

"You can call me Brother Five from now on. This is my pet dog, Maomao. Did everyone understand?"

With that, Lu Wenwu clenched his fist abruptly.

His arms, exposed to the air, suddenly turned a dark red, and a violent aura swept through the classroom like a tsunami, causing the breath of countless entities to hitch.

"I don't have much patience. It’s best not to make me repeat myself."

"Understood, understood!"

Countless entities nodded in unison.

They swore they had never been this submissive in their entire lives.

Lu Wenwu turned to look at Xin Shengzhu: "Teacher Xin, my self-introduction is finished. It seems the students are very welcoming of my arrival and have no objections or suggestions."

Xin Shengzhu kept a straight face, nodded mechanically, and returned Maomao's leash.

Her peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the cute Maomao, and a trace of imperceptible regret flashed in the depths of her eyes.

Lu Wenwu acted as if he hadn't noticed and asked, "By the way, Teacher, who is the class monitor? I can discuss things with them later if I don't understand anything, otherwise, it would be bad if I made mistakes later, don't you think?"

Xin Shengzhu replied expressionlessly: "The last one you killed was the class monitor. A new one needs to be elected."

***

"I see..."

Lu Wenwu looked thoughtful as he surveyed the class.

Wherever his gaze fell, all the entities lowered their heads in submission.

Forget about Xin Shengzhu; even if the principal came, the most they would do is scold or expel them.

But this living Yama king actually kills ghosts!

"Positions of power have always been held by the virtuous. Since the position of class monitor is vacant today, I intend to take it. Who agrees and who opposes?"

Agree?

Oppose?

The ghosts looked at each other, trembling, not daring to even draw a full breath.

"If you don't speak, I'll take that as your agreement." Lu Wenwu couldn't be bothered to drag it out. "Teacher Xin, look, they have no objections. Let's skip the procedure to avoid wasting the students' study time. I will serve as the class monitor for Class 1, Grade 12 from now on. How about that?"

"Fine."

Xin Shengzhu had no objections and nodded lightly.

She had long found this group of troublemakers in the class displeasing.

If it weren't for school regulations, few of them would have lived to see another day.

[Xin Shengzhu's favorability toward you has increased: +5]

[Current favorability: Friendly (40)]

[You have completed the side quest—Monitor of Class 1]

[Quest Description: By suppressing the entire class of ghosts as a human to become the class monitor, you have not only stepped ahead of all other players but also ahead of the vast majority of ghosts. I hope you aren't just a mascot who only runs errands for the teacher.]

[Your overall personal rating has been significantly improved.]

[Your personal skills have been unlocked.]

Another side quest completed, but Lu Wenwu was slightly dissatisfied.

He wanted hidden quests.

You can't get those good things without mysterious lucky bags.

If he could complete two hidden quests, he might achieve a higher dungeon rating and gain more resources.

Feeling slightly displeased, Lu Wenwu walked to the last row by the window. On his way, he casually picked up the former class monitor's stationery and books—since it was his first day, he hadn't gone to the administrative office to collect his own yet.

The back row by the window, the hometown of kings!

The entity originally sitting there was already trembling in its boots, on the verge of fainting.

Lu Wenwu tilted his head slightly: "Get lost, I'm sitting here."
