Who gave you permission to bring dumbbell plates onto the stage! This is a serious exam, don't you understand? Do you want to be punished?"
the teacher roared at Su Chen and Babu and the others in the distance.
Then, without waiting for their reply, he quickly went to the injured students, squatted down, and began checking their injuries.
He breathed a sigh of relief after a while.
Thankfully, the injuries weren't too serious.
Let them rest for a bit, and they should be fine.
A little while later, the unfortunate students slowly woke up.
Seeing the teacher taking care of them, they immediately put on a pitiful expression.
"Teacher, Su Chen cheated! He brought a weapon onto the stage! You have to stand up for us! Ouch~ it hurts!"
"Yeah, Su Chen and his friends are so lawless! Ouch, my arm hurts so much, I think my bones are broken!"
"Su Chen violated the exam rules, he must be severely punished!"
"They're so arrogant! Su Chen and his friends are so arrogant! Teacher, they don't respect you at all!"
Whether injured or not, Sai Ke and his group all pretended to be seriously injured,
wiping away tears and complaining to the physical education teacher.
The physical education teacher was already furious about Su Chen and his friends' behavior.
Now, fueled by the crowd,
his anger instantly filled his heart.
He strode up to Su Chen and his friends.
"I want an explanation, or you'll be punished!"
he demanded coldly, his eyes blazing with anger.
Su Chen frowned upon seeing this.
"An explanation? Why should I explain! Did I break the rules?"
Su Chen retorted firmly.
Hearing this, the physical education teacher was instantly amused and exasperated.
"I told you to fight in the ring, and you brought dumbbell plates! And you say you haven't broken the rules?"
he roared.
Facing the teacher's anger, Su Chen remained unfazed.
"Didn't you say before that dumbbell plates weren't allowed on stage? You said everyone would fight in the ring, whoever was last standing wins! Under those rules, tell me, is there anything wrong with me bringing dumbbell plates on stage? What rule did I break?"
Su Chen argued logically.
"I...you..."
The teacher was instantly speechless.
"What 'I'? What 'you'? Just tell me, where did I break the rules?"
"You brought a weapon on stage, affecting the fairness of the exam!"
the teacher said angrily.
Hearing this, Su Chen chuckled.
"Fairness? I don't know who was saying that there's no such thing as fairness in the world, only the survival of the fittest! And now you're talking to me about fairness? Have you no shame?"
Su Chen retorted without hesitation.
At the same time, he kept glancing at Inanna out of the corner of his eye.
Actually, this head-on confrontation with the teacher wasn't Su Chen's preferred tactic.
He preferred to outmaneuver his teachers.
However, with the homeroom teacher becoming increasingly mysterious, he had to resort to various methods to test Inanna's psychology and reactions.
That's why he engaged in such a confrontational exchange with the teacher.
On the other side, the physical education teacher was rendered speechless by Su Chen's verbal barrage.
His square face turned bright red,
and his eyes were filled with boiling anger, like a volcano ready to erupt at any moment.
Seeing this, Su Chen didn't back down; instead, he intensified his attack.
"To be frank, my behavior was perfectly fine. According to the school rules, exams are serious, nerve-wracking, exciting, sad, and unexpected. Exams are very important to you; please take them seriously."
"My actions were entirely in accordance with the school rules! I prepared diligently for the exam; what wrong have I done?"
"And back to Saike and the others, knowing there was an exam, they didn't prepare seriously beforehand. They just went in empty-handed, acting like they were doing nothing. Is that taking it seriously?"
"They're the ones who violated the school rules, yet you're saying I did?"
"Do you think your casual remarks are more important than the school rules? Are the school rules just a bunch of empty-handed arguments? Do you look down on the school rules?!"
Su Chen demanded sharply.
This barrage of attacks left the physical education teacher completely dumbfounded.
What?
How did I get caught up in this?
Damn it, it was clearly you who violated the rules!
How did I end up being the villain after all this rambling?
Seeing the physical education teacher completely bewildered, Su Chen turned to Inanna and seized the opportunity to throw out his purposeful questions.
"Since the physical education teacher thinks the school rules are a matter of debate, shouldn't you, as the homeroom teacher, report this to the principal?"
"Also, exams are serious. Why can a teacher interrupt an exam based on personal preference?"
"If teachers can disregard school rules, can students also disregard them?"
Su Chen pressed Inanna with a barrage of deadly questions.
Hearing these questions, Inanna paused slightly.
Then she sighed.
"Su Chen, I admit that the physical education teacher does bear some responsibility for not clearly explaining the exam rules."
"However, your words are somewhat extreme. You know, the physical education teacher was just blinded by anger; he didn't mean anything by it."
Inanna spoke words of persuasion.
But her eyes betrayed her.
They were full of interest and excited gleam.
"Does being blinded by anger justify breaking school rules? Does that mean students can break rules when
they're angry too?"
Su Chen asked, narrowing his eyes and observing Inanna's micro-expressions.
Hearing this, the interest in Inanna's eyes intensified.
She parted her cherry-like lips slightly, preparing to say something.
Just then, the physical education teacher finally understood.
He strode up to Su Chen, interrupting their conversation.
"I broke the rules? You're making baseless accusations! Fine, since you like following rules so much, let's use the school rules to reason with each other!"
"The school rules state that students should live peacefully and help each other, but you used such force. Where is the peace? Where is the friendship?"
Su Chen scoffed.
"What the hell are you talking about? Are you out of your mind?"
"Come on, let me be kind and help you clear your head. First, before I went up there, I asked my homeroom teacher, and she told me that in an exam, defeating your opponent is the primary task!"
"According to school rules, the homeroom teacher is the highest leader of the class, and you must obey all their orders."
"In that case, what's wrong with me using force if I follow my homeroom teacher's orders?"
"Second, have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? Wasn't it your order to make us fight? You're clearly deliberately undermining the friendship between us classmates!"
After this, the physical education teacher was speechless again.
His large face turned bright red.
Veins bulged on his forehead.
To onlookers, it looked like he was about to have a stroke.
