After hearing those words, the students in the training hall erupted into an uproar.
"What the hell? You can get a Word Soul just by buying drugs?!"
"So, someone on the outside is trying to plot against Teacher Bai, and they want to injure her as much as possible..."
"Teacher Bai, I never had any intention of doing that!"
Ye Yu stood at the front of the crowd. Listening to the chattering discussions behind her, her expression became exceptionally grim.
She gritted her teeth and stared hatefully at the three people on the floor.
Xu Mo stood at the entrance of the training hall, the corners of his mouth curling upward as he looked at the wailing attackers. He spoke up.
"Alright, since you've said everything, there's no need to keep you around."
As he spoke, a flash of killing intent crossed his eyes, and he slowly raised the ruler in his hand...
The words were spoken lightly, but hearing them made everyone present break out in goosebumps.
"Wh-what do you mean?!"
"I told you everything! Didn't you just say you wouldn't kill me if I answered correctly!"
"When did I say that?" Xu Mo said very calmly. "I only said I would kill you if you didn't talk."
As the words landed, the boy's eyes widened, watching the ruler rapidly expand in his field of vision!
"Wait—!"
He was scared out of his wits, and his crotch became wet instantly. He had literally pissed himself.
Just kidding—to be honest, he was starting to soil himself from the other end, too...
Crack!
With a sharp sound, the ruler in Xu Mo's hand was knocked aside by a gust of wind, smashing into the wall and shaking loose a shower of plaster dust.
At the same time, a loud boom echoed from the main entrance of the training hall!
"Please, stay your hand!"
In the next instant, five figures rushed in simultaneously!
They were as fast as a black whirlwind. Five people, five positions, faintly surrounding "Bai Feifei."
Besides these five, a woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses also walked in quickly.
—Assistant Lin.
"Teacher Bai, please show mercy," she said with great difficulty.
The men surrounding Bai Feifei didn't speak at all. They stood silently in place, their muscles tensed as if they were facing an extremely dangerous wild beast.
On Xu Mo's game panel, these people were all Rank 5 Scavengers!
Xu Mo didn't speak, standing quietly for several seconds.
Then, he suddenly laughed.
"Hahahaha!"
The laughter echoed through the training hall, making everyone's scalp tingle.
The Rank 5 Scavengers from the Security Team exchanged glances, quietly preparing themselves to act.
"Alright, don't be so nervous. You're acting like you're facing a mortal enemy."
"As such a gentle teacher, how could I possibly lay a hand on my dear students?"
"I just sensed you all a long time ago and wanted to draw you out. No need to keep hiding in the shadows."
The five people surrounding "Bai Feifei" froze when they heard this.
He sensed them a long time ago?
How?
They were all experts in stealth and Rank 5 Scavengers. They thought they had moved completely unnoticed.
Little did they know that their stealth was about as effective as the clumsy ambushes of these students when faced with Xu Mo's Heart of the World Medal.
Xu Mo stood in the crowd with his arms crossed and said, "So, why are you following me? Planning to make a move?"
Assistant Lin took a deep breath and lowered her gaze. "These are orders from above. My apologies."
"After what happened yesterday, the higher-ups of Qingping Academy... hold Teacher Bai Feifei in extremely high regard."
"We are here to... protect you and the students."
That was the polite way of putting it.
In reality, after yesterday's events, Qingping Academy felt that "Bai Feifei" was essentially a ticking time bomb.
Before the City Lord and the Principal spoke up, they were terrified she would cause more trouble.
It was a case of one person holding class while the whole school was on edge...
Xu Mo looked at her, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly.
"You've arrived at just the right time. You should have heard what these guys were using just now."
"They violated my requirements. Expel them. Get them out of here immediately."
Assistant Lin nodded, her expression returning to a serious professional mask.
"I heard. For now, Teacher Bai has full authority over the slots for the Elite Class."
"We will report the matters here as soon as possible."
As she spoke, the other Rank 5 Scavengers quickly stepped forward to drag the three contestants—who were now covered in their own waste—out the door.
They were also afraid that this temperamental woman might suddenly decide to act on a whim and kill someone right in front of them.
"Teacher Bai, I would like to ask," Assistant Lin said, choosing her words carefully.
"What method did you use to make those three students unable to move in front of you?"
Xu Mo knew there was no hiding this, so he said casually, "I have a Containment Object that can suppress a person's spirit. It's even more effective against those who juice."
"So they couldn't move. Honestly, I was actually holding back."
Hearing this, Assistant Lin's pupils shrank instantly.
What?!
Carrying a Containment Object around?
Most people's understanding of Containment Objects wasn't like Xu Mo's direct containment within a game, where using them simply lowered Sanity.
In Dawn City, containment was mostly just a form of "sealing."
So Xu Mo's casual remark was enough to make her heart tremble.
While she was still in shock, Xu Mo had already turned around to address the students in the training hall.
"As for the rest of you, the same applies. You can attack me whenever you want, and you can strike hard."
"But if you juice, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The students looked at each other and quickly shook their heads like rattlesnakes.
They didn't want to end up covered in filth in front of everyone.
Assistant Lin suppressed her shock and curiosity. Watching the three juicing students being dragged away, she looked at "Bai Feifei" again.
"Teacher Bai, then I won't delay your teaching any further. Please proceed."
Then, she turned to the other students in the Elite Class and spoke seriously.
"Furthermore, for you students, the media has likely mentioned wanting to buy the 'assessment footage' of you and Teacher Bai, right?"
"I don't care about what happens normally, but regarding today's incident... do not let the news spread..."
Before she could finish, Xu Mo interrupted her from the side.
"Wait, why can't it spread?"
"Are you a comment-controlling dog? Ever heard of freedom of speech?"
