The Modern Immortal

Conflict

When Edward saw that Daemon wasn’t concentrating his attention on the lesson but reading the dictionary, he was delighted and immediately followed what Daemon was doing by taking out a very thick Oxford dictionary and began putting on an act of reading it.

Although Teacher Emma was explaining the solutions to the test paper, her attention was always focused on Daemon. When Teacher Emma realised that Daemon could not even persist for more than ten minutes and gave up on listening to the lesson, her face involuntarily revealed a dejected expression as her initial high spirits were dropped to the lowest point.

Throughout the whole lesson until it ended, Teacher Emma had taken a few glances on Daemon, but Daemon had buried his head in the dictionary the whole time and not once did he lift his head up, causing Teacher Emma to be thoroughly disappointed.

When the bell for the end of class rang, Teacher Emma left the classroom hastily at almost the same time.

Following Teacher Emma’s departure, the previously quiet classroom became lively in an instance.

“Listening to Teacher Emma’s lesson is both a pain and an enjoyment. Although we could not understand what she was explaining at all, we have to act as if we understand so as to not disappoint Teacher Emma.”

“You’re right, even if we can’t understand anything that she had just said, but just listening to Teacher Emma’s voice is a kind of enjoyment. Furthermore we still have the opportunity to see Teacher Emma’s wonderful figure.”

“hmm. Why are these two bastard so insensitive by not paying attention when attending Teacher Emma’s lesson!”

The students of class 10 were still discussing Miss Emma when they unintentionally saw that both Daemon and Edward were actually holding up their English dictionary to read, angering them as they indignantly surrounded Daemon and Edward one by one.

Edward had wanted to join in the conversation when he heard his classmates were talking about miss emma in class, but never would he have thought that the students of class 10 would suddenly pick on him and Daemon and felt that he got stabbed in the back even though he was lying down.

“Hey you, we are talking about you, why are you deaf or something?” Edward opened his mouth and was about to acknowledge his mistake as he was in a new environment and did not want to stir any trouble, but before Edward could utter a word, a peculiar voice resounded beside his ear as the English dictionary in his hand was slapped onto the floor.

“You!” Edward was already hot-tempered to begin with and could not stand this kind of attitude, making him sprang up on his feet, breathing heavily.

The student who provoked Edward clearly did not expect that Edward’s temper would flare so easily because when Edward stood straight, his suppressive stature caused the student to stagger and stepped back a few steps. If not because of someone standing behind that student to prop him up, he would have already fallen sitting on the floor.

“Fatty, do not forget the things that you told me when you were in the corridor.” Just when Edward wanted to kill the chicken to warn the monkey by properly trashing out with that student, Daemon’s calm voice suddenly resounded beside his ear.

“Hey cowards, they are bullying you and you’re still shirking back, go and fight back if you have the guts.” Just when Edward was prepared to cease his actions, a piercing voice resounded once again in the classroom. This caused Edward who had just cooled down to fly into a rage instantly, just when he was going to reply harshly he heard Jin Ning'er voice.

“Why are you bitching about it, when you won’t even help us. So better keep your mouth shut”, said Daemon while looking at the person.

“Why are all of you still standing there,are you asking for a beating?” A clear and loud shout suddenly resounded behind Eric Wydame as he was still hesitating whether to continue fighting back with Daemon.

“Jin Ning'er, I did not provoke you this time so don’t meddle in other people’s business!” Eric Wydame retorted back like a conditioned reflex as he heard the voice from his back.

“If you didn’t provoke me then what was with the broom and dustpan lying on top of the classroom door just now? Don’t think that I couldn’t guess it was you!” Jin Ning'er swiftly grabbed onto Eric Wydame’s collar at the back as she gave a cold snort.

Eric Wydame did not expect Jin Ning'er to take action without saying more as his face turned white the instance his collar was grabbed, and said loudly, “Jin Ning'er, if you continue to touch me I will find people in the society to deal with… ahhhhh…”

Before Eric Wydame could complete his sentence, he heard a cold snort from Jin Ning'er and following next, his body was brought into the air as he flew backwards uncontrollably.

After a few seconds, Eric Wydame landed heavily on the floor with a loud thud with dust flying all around.

“Jin Ning'er you this b***h, you threw me beside the rubbish bin again!” Just when everyone was worried if Eric Wydame was injured from the fall, two sounds could be heard from him as he started hurling abuses at her.

“If your mouth continues to spew out such degrading words then i don’t mind throwing you into the bin next time!” Jin Ning'er said harshly as she glared at Eric Wydame coldly.

Hearing Jin Ning'er’s words, Eric Wydame seemed as if he was strangled by the neck with his face flushed red, not daring to utter a single word.

With Eric Wydame, their leader, being dealt with, the rest of the students were angered but did not dare to say anything, the looks in their eyes when staring at Jin Ning'er were as if they were spewing out fire.

Jin Ning'er seemed to be satisfied by the effects of her killing a chicken to warn the monkeys and swept her gaze through the rest of the students as she said loudly, “Every single one of you here better remember this, Daemon and Edward are my good friends so if anyone dares to confront or tease them next time I will definitely go for good round of sparring with them.”

After she was done saying her piece, Jin Ning'er casually slapped Daemon’s shoulder and said with a clear voice, “As a guy, you must be more aggressive or else you can’t survive in society!”

“But not to worry, as long as there is me around, I would guarantee that no one in class would bully the two of you. If there is anyone that bullies or ridicule the two of you, just feel free to tell me and I will definitely help settle the score for you!” Jin Ning'er started talking by herself again even before waiting for Daemon and Edward to reply.

Jin Ning'er’s words were like a toothache for Eric Wydame as he looked at Daemon with eyes filled with jealousy.

Eric Wydame could not understand why there were always people helping Daemon whenever Daemon was in trouble.By his cousin Marcus Wydame's order he has been trying to cause problems for Daemon for the past one year but everytime he was about to succeed someone came to save him.

The farce came and went like the wind, when the bell for the start of lesson rang, the students surrounding Daemon and Edward dispersed and returned back to their seats. At this moment, Edward had still not reacted to what was going on.

“Boss, did I become a little more handsome again? If not, why did Jin Ning'er stand out to save us?” After a good long while, Edward started to tug on Daemon’s arm with a narcissistic expression.

“Just wait and go to the toilet when the lesson ends and you will know if you have gotten more handsome or not.” Daemon shot Edward an eye as he replied with a disgusted tone.

There was a smile on Edward’s face after hearing Daemon’s words and just when he wanted to counter-attack, he realised that Daemon had once again brought his attention back to the English dictionary, so he could only give up on that thought.
