The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Chapter 231 Twists and turns

Walnut, who was being run around and crying because of the suspected fake Shota, suddenly felt a lightness in his body. Xie Zhi grabbed them both and lifted them up, his usually serious face showing a hint of helplessness.

"Stop it."

"Mwah! Teacher Xie, Teacher Xie, the fox... he... waaaaaaaah!!"

"Uh, it's not what you think."

With one paw covered in snot and tears from being rubbed by walnuts, the Xie Zhi's face stiffened, and its serious gaze turned to the creature it was holding in its other paw.

Stared at by her homeroom teacher with a death stare, Fake Shota shuddered and stuck out her tongue. Then, under Walnut's incredulous gaze, she transformed into a ragdoll cat and waved her paws awkwardly and amicably.

"Hello, my name is Rong Huan, and I'm here to help you improve your grades."

Bang!

A thunderclap exploded in Walnut's mind; he understood, he understood everything!

"Hundred Solutions!!"

A furious roar suddenly rang out, startling Bai Jie at the starting line. He missed the starting signal and was overtaken by Qiong Xiaoqi.

He instinctively turned around, and Walnut's figure approached rapidly like a phantom!

"A hundred solutions!! This is the method you promised!!!"

"Hey, hey, hey, you promised you wouldn't hold a grudge against me, don't get so agitated!!"

With a burst of energy, Bai Jie sprinted away, the two beasts chasing each other as they instantly crossed the starting line!

Qiong Xiaoqi galloped along the track, his wings flapping slightly to accelerate. The surrounding scenery flashed by, and the wind whistled past his ears. The finish line was getting closer and closer, and he couldn't help but smile.

The morning exam went smoothly, and although there were some setbacks, he proved those who looked down on him wrong with his actions. The afternoon physical education exam seemed to be specially prepared for a troublesome kid like him who was always jumping around. The image of how he would show off after finishing the race was already in his mind.

"Bai Jie, stop right there!!"

"Only a fool would stop!"

Two afterimages flashed past, overtaking him and rushing ahead in the blink of an eye. Qiong Xiaoqi's smile froze instantly.

What just flashed by?!

……

"Bai Jie 4.91 seconds. Walnut, uh, 4.99 seconds."

Seeing the two beasts chasing each other and running wildly across the finish line, the Xie Zhi clone instinctively pressed the timer to announce the results, and was stunned for a moment after saying it.

Qiong Xiaoqi also rushed across the finish line, then slowly slowed down and stopped, staring blankly at the two guys running away. The whole beast was dumbfounded.

How could I, so delicate and beautiful, be surpassed by a weakling in the mythical beast circle who can't lift a finger or carry anything on his shoulders?!

"Qiong Xiaoqi 5.29 seconds".

Well, it's not as good as Walnut running earlier.

At that moment, Xie Zhi and Rong Huan arrived just in time. The clones rushed over to ask what to do next.

Does this result count? Walnut ran better this time than last time, should the record be changed? And should we deal with those two guys who ran far?

"Oh well, let them be. The results are still valid, so there's no need to replace them."

The Xie Zhi didn't want to make another trip. Anyway, the two children had finished their exams, so they could handle the rest themselves.

……

As the exams continued, Ronghuan returned to the team, and the cause and effect of the previous series of events spread throughout the class.

Walnut wanted to get a high score in sports, so Baijie went to Ronghuan to help him and asked her to transform into Shota to provoke Walnut. Even the lines provided by Baijie were leaked.

Shota, the fox in the herd, was completely distraught. Even though the misunderstanding was cleared up, and the story of him chasing after Walnut to get married was just a show, and that fox wasn't him at all...

However, once such a thing happens, prejudice is inevitable. Therefore, the way his classmates looked at him gradually became strange, and even his younger sister...

Even with the good manners that Shota had been taught in his family for many years, he was mentally broken at this moment.

After the sprint test, Bai Jie finally managed to calm He Tao down and get him to run back to participate in the long-distance race. Just as he stood at the starting line, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine!

He turned his head and saw Shota standing behind him, staring at him with resentful eyes, looking like a ghost!

"Uh... sorry, I was just trying to provoke Walnut with your appearance."

"Hmm. It's alright, Bai Jie-kun."

"Really...really?"

Bai Jie looked at the little fox with the resentful gaze of a woman confined to her chambers and expressed his doubt.

"Really, I don't hold a grudge against Bai Jie Jun."

Are you kidding me?! The resentment in your eyes is practically overflowing!

Bai Jie's lips twitched slightly. The countdown before the start sounded, and he silently turned around, bent down, and prepared to run. The piercing gaze from behind kept irritating his nerves.

"3, 2, 1, start!"

As the beasts began to run, Hyakki couldn't help but speed up, and Shota's increasingly intense gaze made his scalp tingle.

"Don't follow me!"

"I didn't follow Bai Jie-jun; there's only one track."

Bai Jie remained silent, only accelerating until he overtook all the beasts and ran half a lap in one breath. Only when the terror behind him disappeared did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"Whoo~"

"Bai Jie Jun, you need to conserve your energy when running long distances."

"Holy crap! When did you catch up with us?"

Bai Jie shuddered and turned around in shock. Shota appeared behind her like a persistent ghost, his eerie eyes filled with unspoken words.

"Bai Jie Jun, please don't swear. It's not appropriate."

Bai Jie got goosebumps all over his body. He slowed down and tried to back up, but Xiang Tai also slowed down. He accelerated and tried to shake off the other party again, but in less than two seconds, the thing that made the beast's hair stand on end would follow.

The two beasts, one with a hammer and the other with a claw, ran around the playground once. Bai Jie turned around in despair and said, "I was wrong, I apologize. Please don't follow me anymore, it's so scary!"

"No need to apologize, Bai Jie-kun, I'm not angry."

Take that look from your eyes, which are even more malevolent than a vengeful ghost, before you say that!

……

"Pfft hahaha."

The students watched him chase and flee on the track the whole time, and he couldn't escape. A burst of laughter, which he tried hard to suppress, rang out from the herd of animals.

The clone responsible for recording Bai Jie and Xiang Tai's long-distance running results checked the time. It took about 1 minute to cover nearly half the distance. Judging from their usual physical education classes, this means they have unleashed their potential again.

"Hyakukai 2 minutes 30 seconds. Shota 2 minutes 31 seconds."

As Bai Jie sprinted across the finish line, he stumbled and fell headlong the moment he heard the result. He rolled over, his chest heaving violently, panting heavily like a bellows.

Shota collapsed beside him, and even though he was panting heavily, he still managed to turn his head and give him a death stare.

Was this also part of your plan, Haki?

Want to unleash your own potential with us?

Such profound foresight... that's impossible!

Bai Jie was filled with remorse. He had only impulsively decided to play a trick on Walnut, and who knew it would turn out like this!

No, could this be another case of bad luck at work? It can't be true! What kind of luck is this bad for its owner? His poor athletic performance isn't a huge deal, it shouldn't be this cruel!

Bai Jie stared blankly at the sky when suddenly a face loomed close, blocking the sunlight and looking down at him. "Uh, Tianlu?"

"Bai Jie, are you alright?" Tian Lu asked with concern as he helped Bai Jie sit up.

Looking around, they saw that the other beasts in their circle were also present. Bixie and Yuetian were standing around, while not far away, Hetao and Fuzai helped Xiangtai up. The fox and Mengji, who had also been tricked, looked at each other with a sense of mutual sympathy.

Meanwhile, the three little rascals stood a little further away. Qiong Xiaoqi looked like he couldn't accept it. He was overtaken in the sprint, and now he was in the same group as Bai Jie in the long-distance race, and he was overtaken again. He was overtaken by two guys who were physically weak and even younger than him in his eyes?!

After the three brothers finished their conversation, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "I didn't expect your unscrupulous method to be so effective. Can I try it too? Even you two, with your physical condition, can achieve this result. Wouldn't it be even more powerful if I did?"

Bai Jie climbed onto Bi Xie's back, turned his head to look at him upon hearing this, and said, "You? Uh... I feel that having Teacher Xie chase after you and stab you would be the most effective way."

Qiong Xiaoqi turned his approaching footsteps, raised his head high, and walked away with an air of righteous indignation. "Hmph, I would never stoop to such crooked methods. When I'm rich, have better food, and grow up strong, I'll beat you all with my honest and upright physical abilities!"

Taotie rolled its eyes. "You're clearly scared, aren't you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I be afraid? I just dislike this kind of crooked and evil practice. You can't slander me without evidence!"

The familiar quarreling among the ferocious beasts began, and the group of beasts walked back while watching the spectacle.

Bai Jie buried half his face in Bi Xie's body, the furry touch infused with the unique fragrance of the Pixiu. He squinted and asked lazily, "Oh, by the way, how did your exams go?"

Upon hearing this, Tianlu proudly wagged its tail, and Bixie turned its head and directly stated their achievements.

Tianlu:

Sprint time: 2.12 seconds.

Long-distance running time: 1 minute and 03 seconds.

Warning against evil:

Sprint time: 2.11 seconds.

Long-distance running time: 1 minute and 03 seconds.

Their times in both the long-distance and short-distance races were remarkably consistent, and they were also nearly twice as fast as Bai Jie's time, even without using their adult forms.

Afterwards, they returned to the team and watched several more rounds of long-distance running before the physical education exam officially ended.

Day two.

The entire school welcomed the last day of the semester.
