Chapter 459: The New Transfer Student

Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A glimmer of confusion crossed Rong Qi’s eyes. “A transfer student? Now?”

‘Isn’t the semester almost over? Why not just wait till the next one starts?’ Rong Qi thought to herself.

Rong Qi had always been a little late catching up with the latest gossip, something her classmates had gotten used to.

Lu Qi jumped in to fill her in. “Yeah, there’s this new transfer student in Class 1, and he’s incredibly arrogant. Just got here yesterday, and he’s already made enemies with Han Ning and Huang Hao. He’s all over the campus forum; practically taken it over.”

Hearing that, Lu Qi couldn’t help but fume.

“Rong Qi, you have no idea how insolent that guy is. He even challenged Han Ning to a fight after class. The students in Class 1 are already treating the new student like their new kingpin. Seems like they’re gearing up to show us who’s boss. Here, look at the campus forum.”

Lu Qi pulled out her phone and started scrolling.

Rong Qi squinted, glancing at Han Ning. “And you agreed to that?”

Han Ning nodded, his tone indifferent. “He’s stepping on my toes and bringing the challenge to my doorstep. Since when did I back down from a fight? That ain’t my style.”

“So, this guy’s strutting around the university like a peacock. He’s got connections?” Rong Qi asked.

It was the type of behavior Rong Qi abhorred. Usually, the troublemakers would be stuffed into Class 7. The fact that this guy was in Class 1 indicated he had some clout.

Sure enough, Huang Hao chimed in, “I heard he was brought in by that baldy Qiu Yonggen. I checked with my sources at home, the guy’s last name is Duan, from one of the four influential families in the capital. Seems like Qiu Yonggen has found himself a new sponsor, no wonder he’s been acting up lately.”

“The Duan family, huh,” Rong Qi muttered, not elaborating further.

Lu Qi finally found the post and handed her phone to Rong Qi, still visibly angered. “Last night we had another round of arguments with them on the forum, only to get downvoted. Those jerks!”

Rong Qi browsed through the posts. The top ten trending topics were all about the new transfer student. The number one post was about the fight between the transfer student and Han Ning. She clicked on it, read through it, and then looked up at Han Ning. “You fought him yesterday?”

Han Ning’s face showed a hint of embarrassment. He nodded silently. Not only had he fought, but he’d also lost, which still gnawed at him.

“Looks like you’ve met your match,” Rong Qi said, her tone enigmatic.

The popular comments below the post were all full of bragging and taunts from Class 1, while Han Ning and his crew had been pushed out of the top five comments. This was an unprecedented humiliation.

The transfer student’s name was Duan Shujie. Moreover, he had openly provoked Han Ning on the forum.

[Remember this, the game doesn’t stop just because you say so. From now on, I call the shots at this university. Class 7, you’re trash. @SocialiteNing]

To which Han Ning replied, [This university has always been under my rule. Whether Class 7 is trash or not, let’s find out the hard way.]

The tension from the posts was palpable.

Rong Qi handed the phone back to Lu Qi, took out her own phone, and logged into the campus forum. She located the post and pondered for a moment before her slender fingers began to type.

Han Ning saw Rong Qi’s actions and frowned. He said, “This is a man’s business. Stay out of it, Rong Qi. The Duan family is not to be trifled with.”

Even though the Han family could hold its own against the Duan family, it still paled in terms of heritage and depth. That’s why the Han family had a decent standing in the capital but couldn’t be considered one of the old and influential families.

Knowing that Duan Shujie came from such a background had given Han Ning pause, contributing to his disadvantage in their confrontations..
