This Curse Is Just Awesome Chapter 3 - What A Sin…

Chapter 3 - What A Sin…

The "inverted" style of cultivation went on till the next bell rang, indicating cla.s.s was over. Only then did Chen Yu breathe a sigh of relief.

Feeling the Sea of Qi beneath his energy center, he felt very "relieved."

All thanks to the school leaders, and all thanks to his homeroom teacher.

He should be able to repeat a year and get to junior high…

"Why have you stopped?" His homeroom teacher leaned over the rostrum and stared at Chen Yu.

"Ah?" Chen Yu looked around and saw that the other students were leaving in twos and threes. Surprised, he asked, "Cla.s.s is over, isn't it? Everyone's leaving."

"They meet the requirements and conditions to be dismissed when cla.s.s is over. Do you?"

Chen Yu: "…" (speechless)

[Mental damage inflicted: Mental State +1]

"You're not allowed to go anywhere. Continue cultivating!"

"…Can't you spare me?"

"I'm trying to save you!" The homeroom teacher was filled with resentment and dissatisfaction at Chen Yu not being able to perform up to his expectations, and said, "You're already capable of harming yourself, so how can cultivating be of any difficulty to you?"

[Mental damage inflicted: Mental State +1]

After a long moment of silence, Chen Yu stood up and said, "Fine, I'll listen to you. But now, I need to go to the toilet."

"Can't hold it anymore?"

"Yes, can't hold it anymore."

"Fine." The homeroom teacher stood up as well and said, "I will go with you."

Chen Yu: "…" (speechless)

[Mental damage inflicted: Mental State +3]

"Let's go! What are you doing standing there? I thought you can't hold it anymore?"

Chen Yu: "…" (speechless)

The homeroom teacher said, "Actually, I'm also on the verge of losing control myself. But I was afraid that the moment I left, you would slip away without a word or trace, so I've been holding it in. It never occurred to me that you wanted to go to the toilet too. Haha. From a more objective point of view, you are quite a thoughtful and understanding kid…"

Chen Yu: "…" (speechless)

[Mental damage inflicted: Mental State +5]

...

Squatting in one of the bathroom cubicles, Chen Yu fell into deep thought.

It was very clear that he wouldn't be making any progress if things went on like this.

He was cursed, so there was no way he could cultivate via the normal methods.

Only by lazing away "diligently" could he achieve progress.

If he continued to stay under the purview of that homeroom teacher, the education taught to him would lead him to his "ruin."

And there was no way he could open up to others and explain to them what was so unique about him.

Even if he did, no one would believe him.

And if someone did believe him, that would probably mean he was going to be in trouble…

"I still want to try to escape."

"This school, even if I don't study here, it's no big deal!"

With this thought in mind, Chen Yu pulled up his pants. But after a slight hesitation, he pulled them down again and pulled out some toilet paper to wipe his a.s.s before putting on his pants yet again.

"Flush…"

After answering nature's call, he flushed the toilet and opened the door. Then, he slightly jogged out of the cubicle, but he soon came to a halt…

The homeroom teacher was actually standing guard outside the toilet door…

Homeroom teacher: "Done?"

Chen Yu: "…You're done?"

Homeroom teacher: "Yes, done. What about you?"

Chen Yu: "I've not even started."

Homeroom teacher: "Nonsense! I heard the sound of water flus.h.i.+ng."

Chen Yu: "Yes, I farted just now and thought that I'd done my business, but I realized that the 'solid goods' aren't out yet…"

With that said, Chen Yu's expression darkened, and he walked back into the cubicle. Once again, he squatted inside a cubicle.

"What a sin…"

The homeroom teacher also walked in and leaned against the door of the adjacent cubicle. "Waiting for you," he said.

[Mental damage inflicted: Mental state +4]

"Sigh…"

In the cubicle, Chen Yu looked up and sighed deeply. And coincidentally, he saw the ventilation fan. His eyes lit up.

Hurriedly, he got to his feet and pressed himself against the door to listen for movements outside. Then, he stood on the toilet bowl, lightly unplugged the ventilation fan from its electrical source, and gave it a forceful pull!

"Crack."

"Dong…"

The ventilation fan was pushed out of place.

A large hole was exposed.

It should be big enough for him to crawl out.

But before Chen Yu could even start his crawl, a face appeared outside the "large hole."

The homeroom teacher's face.

Chen Yu: "…" (speechless)

The homeroom teacher's face was expressionless as he asked, "What are you doing?"

"… I… I felt that it was not well-ventilated enough."

"Damaging the school's facilities will earn you one demerit point. Come with me to the staff office to calculate the fine."

[Mental damage inflicted: Mental state +2]

...

After paying the fine, Chen Yu followed the homeroom teacher out of the staff area with a serious expression on his face.

The homeroom teacher cast a glance at Chen Yu and said, "Speak your mind."

"Don't you usually just let me be?"

"Now I want to bother about you."

"In this world, where there are good students, there will always be poor students. There is no way we can take care of everything so well, and there is no way we can achieve the best of all things.

"But I can't allow you to get any worse either."

Feeling a headache coming on, Chen Yu said, "It's better to leave me alone. Giving me my freedom is the right thing to do. I'm already ruined. Just leave me alone. Let my life run its own course, be it sink or swim."

Hearing this, the homeroom teacher stopped in his tracks.

"What's wrong?" Subconsciously, Chen Yu also stopped.

"… You are a student, not a teacher." The homeroom teacher looked Chen Yu in the eye and spoke in an even tone. "You can never imagine what kind of an impact seeing a student hurt themselves because of their grades would have on a teacher."

"…" Chen Yu's headache intensified…

"At that time, I suddenly felt ashamed of my position as a 'teacher.'" There was a complicated look in the homeroom teacher's eyes as he said, "Which is why I have to teach you well. I won't allow you to slack off for a single moment. You'll thank me later."

Chen Yu said, "Then I truly have to thank you."

The homeroom teacher: "There are only 33 days left until the college entrance examination. During this month, except for sleep, you have to spend every waking moment on cultivation! Although you won't make it into university, we have to at least ensure that you make it into some other tertiary learning inst.i.tute!"

Chen Yu said, "Don't worry. Going by the way you're educating me, getting me into junior college would already be quite a feat."

Homeroom teacher, "If by then you can't even make it into a tertiary learning inst.i.tute, then being a teacher myself, at least I'll have a clear conscience."

"A teacher as bad as you is really hard to find," Chen Yu said.

The homeroom teacher was completely unaware of Chen Yu's reproval. Instead, he was still minding his own business and muttering to himself: "Tomorrow you will move into my dormitory, and I will personally see to your education. Go home and talk to your parents about it."

"My mom is definitely going to disa…"

"If she disagrees, I will pay your home a visit. If it really is impossible, then I will move into your place."

"…"

...

At No. 2 Middle School in Green City, 7 p.m. in the evening.

The school bell rang.

Chen Yu slumped in his seat, as though he was drained of life. His mind was on the verge of collapse.

After close to a day of painfully harsh training, he'd successfully managed to cause his strength to deteriorate to the level it was a week ago…

"Not bad at all."

The homeroom teacher was very pleased and said, "Regardless of how untalented you are, if you continue to work hard like this, even if you can't get into college or any other educational inst.i.tute, there's still hope that you'll be able to repeat a year of studies next year."

Chen Yu: "…" (speechless)

[Mental damage inflicted: Mental state +4]

His "efforts" today had caused his cla.s.smates' dislike for him to fade by quite a bit. And even though they didn't say anything about it, he could tell by the looks on their faces.

The cla.s.s monitress, who was a model student, even stopped beside Chen Yu before walking out of cla.s.s, and in front of the eyes of the entire cla.s.s, she gave him a thumbs-up and said, "G.o.d rewards those who work hard. Continue to do so."

[Got encouraged: Mental state -2; Confidence -1; Luck -1]

Chen Yu: "…" (speechless)

"Clap clap…" The homeroom teacher smiled and led the cla.s.s into a round of applause.

"Clap clap clap…"

Instantly, the sound of applause, which was quite loud, rang out.

[Got encouraged: Mental state -4; Confidence -2; Luck -1; Charisma -1]

"… What a sin!!" Chen Yu said to himself.
