Chapter 52: Underage

“What are you doing?” Jiang Xiao was a little puzzled as the three boys held him down and shoved him along, all the way to the utility room on the first floor of the canteen.

Jiang Xiao almost had a great fall and had to support himself against the wall to regain his balance.

Bang!

The doors of the utility room were slammed shut forcefully.

Jiang Xiao turned his head and scanned the three youths from head to toe.

To his disappointment, all three of them had black hair instead of blond or green.

One of them was slightly taller and seemed to be the leader. He was about 1.85m tall and was skinny as a bamboo.

The other two were about 1.75m tall, one with a crew cut and the other with a buzz cut. They were also staring at Jiang Xiao coldly with a derisive look.

Jiang Xiao blinked and thought, What’s going on? Am I going to be beaten up?

Bullying and inflicting violence on others were common on campuses. However, Jiang Xiao didn’t experience it before in the previous world.

He would be making up for it in this life.

“You look rich. Share your money with us.” The skinny youth stared at Jiang Xiao menacingly and taunted him coldly.

Money?

I have about 500 yuan, but I already spent more than 100 yuan on the meal card and daily necessities. I’m only left with 300 yuan now.

“I’m talking to you!” The youth with the crew cut took two steps forward and kicked Jiang Xiao.

Did he just try to hit me!?!

Jiang Xiao instinctively dodged, causing the youth to end up kicking the wall.

There was a loud thud and he seemed to have kicked rather forcefully.

“I’m an Awakened. You guys…” Jiang Xiao took a few steps back and stepped on the mops that were piled up in the corner.

“Yeah? An Awakened? Who isn’t one? Why are you being so damn pretentious?” The youth with the buzz cut walked over and pushed Jiang Xiao’s chest forcefully, causing him to fall onto the mops.

The rods of the mops fell against each other in a rhythmic manner.

Are these youths Awakened too?

Jiang Xiao supported himself against the wall with one hand while holding onto the rod of the mop with the other. He stumbled and tried to stand up. “Hey, guys, since you’re Awakened too, I doubt you’d be cash-strapped. Can you tell me why you’re doing this to me?”

“Haha, kid, you’re interesting.” The skinny man smiled sinisterly and continued, “You do make some sense. If you don’t know why you got beaten up, you’d inevitably get beaten up again in the future. How about this? Hand the money over first and we’ll tell you the reason later.”

“You guys are committing a robbery.” Jiang Xiao took out the red banknotes from his pocket abidingly, together with the loose change, all of which amounted to more than 300 yuan.

“It’s okay. I’m only 15 years old and I’m protected by the law under the Protection of Minors Act,” said the youth with the crew cut, who snatched Jiang Xiao’s money away and stuck his hand into Jiang Xiao’s pocket.

Jiang Xiao said feebly, “You’re already above the age of 14, so you don’t meet the criteria for being protected under the Protection of Minors Act. Besides, there are eight major crimes in criminal law and robbery is one of them. You’ll be prosecuted and sentenced as long as you are above the age of 14.”

“It’s alright, it’s just more than 300 yuan. It doesn’t hit the quota yet,” said the youth with the crew cut.

Oh, what!?!

Jiang Xiao froze for a moment and said cowardly, “Brother, you’re just not learned enough. Robbery is not the same as other crimes. There is no fixed quota for a crime to be established. As long as you committed a robbery, it’s considered a punishable crime.”

“Cut the crap!” The boy with the buzz cut kicked Jiang Xiao’s thigh and continued hollering, “You’re so damned talkative! I’m going to rob you, f***!”

Jiang Xiao didn’t play punk and instead said with a miserable look, “Brother, I was wrong. Since I’ve already paid you the money, tell me the reason, will you?”

The boy with the buzz cut rummaged through Jiang Xiao’s pocket and whipped out a meal card before smacking it against Jiang Xiao’s face. “Be careful from now on. Don’t touch someone you’re not supposed to.”

The skinny man chuckled and stepped forward to take the money away from the man with the buzz cut. He whipped out three 1,000-yuan bills and threw the rest of the loose change at Jiang Xiao’s face forcefully. “In the future, you’d better be more sensible. How dare you touch Yi Lianna? You really don’t know what death is.”

Jiang Xiao frowned and thought, Is this all because of Yi Lianna?

It’s been less than two hours since I took some photos with her in the morning and yet, they’re already here to look for me?

“Who has his eyes on Yi Lianna?” Jiang Xiao asked softly.

“I told you to stay away from her. Why do you have so much rubbish to say?” The boy with the buzz cut kicked Jiang Xiao’s thigh, causing the mop to split open.

“I just want to know which deity not to offend. When I see him from now on, I promise I’ll walk away,” Jiang Xiao said feebly while putting his change back into his pocket carefully.

The skinny youth squatted down and patted Jiang Xiao’s face before saying with a derisive smirk, “I can tell you. Remember this, I’m Gao Junchen from Class 1. Got it?”

“Gao Junchen?” Jiang Xiao secretly bore his name in mind, but he found it to be rather similar to another name. In the team of School Tyrants in Year Three, there was someone named Gao Junwei.

“If you want to take revenge, you’d better hurry up. We’ll be waiting for you at Class 1 during the assembly later.” The skinny man scowled Jiang Xiao and stood up immediately before turning around to leave. “Okay, leave, you coward.”

“Hah, how would he have the guts to take revenge?” The youth with the buzz cut kicked him again.

However, Jiang Xiao grabbed his leg this time.

It was his leg!

At the next moment, Jiang Xiao pulled the youth’s leg with his left hand and clenched his right fist which then began emitting a rich Green Glow. He forcefully punched the youth’s knee.

Ka-cha!

The repelling effects of Green Glow caused the youth with the buzz cut to be slammed against the wall forcefully.

However, before he flew away, his knee was hit by a stronger repelling effect.

The crisp sounds of his bones breaking were incredibly hair-raising. At the next moment, the youth with the buzz cut began wailing miserably. “Ah!!! Ah!!! Ah!!!”

Before the youth with the buzz cut could finish wailing, the skinny man already heard the dull sounds of his back being slammed against the wall.

The skinny man turned around forcefully and punched him.

Target: Jaw

He was quick, swift and accurate.

Bang!

However, there was no Green Glow in Jiang Xiao’s fist this time and he hit the skinny man’s jaw forcefully. Greatly stunned, he took a step back and fell backward.

Jiang Xiao leaped towards the youth and a strong Green Glow appeared in his right elbow again.

The strongest move in history!

Jiang Xiao’s body and elbow that was combined with Green Glow smashed against the jaw of the skinny youth menacingly.

Ka-cha! Ka-cha!

The loud sounds of the tiles cracking filled the air and the skinny youth passed out completely, his body embedded in the cracked tiles.

“You f***er!” The youth with the crew cut was rather stunned because everything happened too quickly. In the blink of an eye, his buddy passed out while the other one was kneeling on the ground and wailing loudly. He was in so much pain that he was gritting his teeth and almost passed out.

Jiang Xiao rolled forwards and frantically tried to get up.

However, he was much worse than the White Ghouls. Jiang Xiao did not receive the attack that he was expecting and merely got a verbal attack.

Jiang Xiao rushed forth and taunted. “Why didn’t you attack when I was lying on the ground, and instead stood by the side to watch the show?”

“I…” The youth with the crew cut glowered at Jiang Xiao menacingly and whipped out a switchblade from his pocket while panicking. He pressed down forcefully and a short blade glistened.

Jiang Xiao raised his hand and a white ray of light cast down on them.

The youth with the crew cut could not help but quiver and wonder what kind of Star Technique Jiang Xiao had used.

It was… too damned comfortable!

“Ah~” The youth with the crew cut moaned in pleasure as if he were lying in a bathtub filled with hot water and foam. It was as if his pores were cheering.

While the youth with the crew cut was basking in pleasure, Jiang Xiao punched him.

He began to work his technique!

Do you think I’m healing you for no reason?

The punch caused his head to be slammed against the wall.

Amidst the turmoil, the youth with the crew cut could not tell if he was feeling comfortable or in pain.

The youth with the crew cut seemed to have vaguely heard a heavenly voice. “I was really scared by Zhu Wen and Zhu Wu. I thought Class 1 was formidable and I tried to find an opportunity for a sneak attack for a long time. Yet, you guys are just trash. You made me wait so long for nothing.”

Jiang Xiao kicked the buttocks of the youth with the crew cut as hard as he could. “Minor Protection Act, eh?”

He kicked him again. “Minor Protection Act eh…”

He kicked again. “Minor Protection Act my foot!”
