"Come find me..."
Chen Shu chuckled. With his magical potions and the space rabbit's divine skill, he was confident in his ability to survive even against King-level opponents.
Unless... he encountered a legendary beast tamer.
But the three major organizations didn't seem to have any such individuals. Besides, it would be too outrageous for such an existence to come looking for trouble with him...
"Heh heh... my badge, here I come..."
He stood alone in the hall, laughing, causing the passing Dragon Guards to stiffen and strategically increase their distance...
Just as everyone was looking at him strangely, Chen Shu vanished with a "swish."
The Dragon Guards sighed, "What a shame. Such a divine skill has fallen into the hands of a bandit..."
...
Huaxia Academy, Dormitory 333.
Chen Shu had instantly returned to the dormitory and sat alone on the sofa, instinctively opening "Makka Pakka."
"It's just me now..."
He looked at the empty dormitory, feeling a sense of unease. He even lost interest in the cartoons playing on the TV.
"I'll go out for a walk."
He sighed, got up, and left the dormitory.
The entire scholar's building also appeared deserted.
One reason was the departure of the seniors. Another reason was Chen Shu himself...
Due to his residency, the danger level of the scholar's building had skyrocketed. Considering the students' safety, the occupancy rate had to be reduced...
"Senior Bandit..."
When Chen Shu arrived on the first floor, he finally encountered a young man with an unruly gaze.
But the moment he saw Chen Shu, his expression changed drastically, and his eyes instantly filled with admiration.
Chen Shu smiled and nodded, then left the scholar's building.
"The bandit's smile is actually so bright..."
The young man was stunned and murmured to himself,
"Although I, Sun Hao, never become a subordinate to anyone, if it's a senior, it doesn't seem impossible..."
...
"Hmm~~"
Chen Shu inexplicably felt a chill and instinctively looked back.
"What's going on? Feeling a shiver in the middle of summer. Could I be weak?"
He muttered to himself, tightened his hospital gown, and turned to leave.
"They've all graduated already..."
Chen Shu looked at the familiar surroundings of the academy, passing by the cafeteria, the teaching buildings, and the beast taming hall...
As night fell,
He left the academy's library and glanced back at the magnificent building, muttering to himself,
"There's this place in the academy? Why do I have no impression of it at all?"
"Forget it, since it's my first time here, it'll be my last time too..."
He shook his head and walked onto the path leading to the dormitory.
But after a moment, his expression shifted. He saw a figure hurrying towards him from a distance.
He didn't pay much attention at first, but then he realized it was someone he knew.
"Young Master Yu?"
He raised an eyebrow and looked at the young man ahead.
It was Yu Yi, who had clashed with Chen Shu due to the queue-jumping incident...
"..."
Yu Yi's expression froze. "Are you kidding me? I'm taking a shortcut and I still run into you?!"
He swallowed and said with a dry laugh, "Bandit... Brother..."
"What are you doing out so late at night? You're not planning to do something bad, are you?"
Chen Shu frowned and said, "I won't allow anyone to break the law on my territory!"
"..."
Yu Yi's expression was blank. "Is that your line?!"
He was completely bewildered, his eyes filled with a strange expression. This guy's thick skin was simply too much...
"Brother... I was just... going to the library to look up some information..."
"Looking up information?"
Chen Shu sized up Yu Yi, his eyes filled with doubt, and asked, "Are you really not doing anything bad?"
"Really not..."
Yu Yi spread his hands, appearing quite helpless. "Are you seriously questioning me?"
"That's good then."
Chen Shu nodded. Just as he was about to pass, he suddenly turned and shouted,
"By the way, have you been cutting in line recently?"
"..."
Yu Yi's expression froze, and he quickly shook his head, his eyes even showing a hint of resentment.
Chen Shu frowned and asked, "What's with that look?"
"To teach me a lesson, my grandfather specifically arranged for a strong person to cut in line for me, for three whole days..."
Yu Yi's eyes held a look of frustration. He said,
"Do you know what it feels like to have people cut in line when you're buying things, when you're eating, or even when you're using the restroom..."
"..."
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected the other party's elder to be so ruthless...
Yu Yi sighed, unwilling to recall the nightmare.
"Your grandfather is truly..."
Chen Shu paused, then said, "A good educator..."
"..."
Yu Yi's mouth twitched, and he remained silent.
Chen Shu patted his shoulder and said, "Reform yourself properly and become a new person! I, the Southern River Bandit, am quite optimistic about you!"
With that, he continued on his way, no longer bothering with Yu Yi.
"..."
Yu Yi watched Chen Shu's receding back, sighed silently, and headed towards the library.
...
Time quickly passed until June 30th.
It was now the final deadline for graduating students to leave. Tomorrow, people would come to clear out the area.
"Time to go..."
Chen Shu had the space rabbit pack his belongings. He stepped out of the dormitory and onto the empty corridor.
He closed the door and looked up at the room number 333, as if making eye contact with it.
As time passed, students gradually appeared in the corridor.
Many of them were not from the scholar's building. They just wanted to see Chen Shu again, and ended up witnessing this scene.
One person facing a door, the atmosphere seeming a bit heavy.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh,
The bandit is a sentimental person...
However, in the next second, Chen Shu's murmurs reached their ears:
"This thing looks like it's covered in gold. I should pry it off too..."
Saying that, he took out his gleaming pig-slaughtering knife and directly chopped at it.
*Bang!*
The bandit's movements were smooth and natural, and he easily took off the room number plate.
"Ah, this..."
The crowd's mouths hung open, their minds momentarily dazed.
Had they misunderstood him after all...?
They thought it was sentimentality, but it turned out to be greed for money...
Chen Shu, however, remained quite calm. Everything was within regulations...
To ensure students remembered that they were from Huaxia Academy,
Qin Tian, who had just taken office, had specifically issued a new regulation, allowing graduates to take certain items from their dormitories as souvenirs.
But no one could have imagined that this guy wouldn't even let the room number plate go...
ps: I have other matters to attend to today, so this is only one chapter. My apologies.
