Chapter 11:

School Drama

My Near-Death Is A Blessing!


(After only five days goes by after the Deadfall incident, Bai was then called into the headmaster's office.)

"Sun: Mr. Zhen... You don't mind if I call you Bai?"
"Bai: I... I guess so.."
"Sun: Bai, recently I've been noticing you're being sent to the infirmary a lot because you're being fought a lot. I understand that you do not like to fight on schoolgrounds but when it comes to defending yourself, you know it's a must."
"Bai: I don't see any reason in wasting energy on bullies, I'd just let them fight me and I won't even let myself get into trouble."
"Sun: Even if that seems to be the case, this is the 264th time you've ended up in the academy's infirmary over being bullied."
"Bai: Yeah... I'm kind of surprised the nurse hasn't gave up on me by now."
"Sun: Well, I was skeptical on this idea Bai but as of this moment, I'm assigning you with a bodyguard. However, she was the quickest to accept the offer and she is the Academy's number one at the moment."

(As Bai was curious on who it was, the door was then knocked on.)

"Sun: Come in!"

(As the door opened, the Student Counsel President, Fen Xinya who was covered with bandages from her fight with Jia Yi.)

"Fen: Mr. Zhen, you was unconscious for a while so I will introduce myself. I am Fen Xinya and as of this moment, the Student Counsel will be watching over and with you."
"Bai: Well.. Nice to meet you... And thanks for looking after me."
"Sun: Hm? It's almost time for your lunch break, I suggest you got plans Bai?"
"Bai: Not really, I might go see what the cafeteria is having for lunch."
"Fen: The Student Counsel is having a luncheon in the office, you're welcome to join Mr. Zhen for you are a special guest."

(As Bai and Sun was walking to the Student Counsel's office together, most students noticed as it was a hot topic of the academy. Minutes later, Jia would begin to overhear her classmates already talking about Bai and Fen walking together which she didn't know about as she then enters the Disciplinary Committee room.)

"Jia: Yuhan, have you seen Zhen anywhere?"
"Peng: Unfortunately no. Last time I saw him was in the infirmary."
"Jia: Strange.. He'd normally come here after coming out. I did check with the nurse and he left to the headmaster's office."

(Lian was then loudly snoring as he was wrapped in a blanket, sleeping on his floating pillow and has a sleep mask on. Jia then goes to wake him up for a moment.)

"Jia: Hey.. Xian..? Xian..."
"Lian: ...Mmmm.. H-Huh..?"

(As he then removed his sleep mask and notices a worried Jia, he then answers drowsily while active to answer her questions.)

"Lian: Oh... G-Good evening.. President.."
"Jia: Xian, have you seen Zhen at all today?"
"Lian: ...Uhh.. n-no... But... *yawns* I have heard some.. rumor about him and... mm... *gasps* and the Student Counsel President.. w-walking together..."
"Jia: WHAT?!"

(Jia's reaction then triggers a strong wind as Lian covered himself quickly for he was cold.)

"Peng: Wait. Pardon?"
"Cheng: Oh! How my heart is aching with the sword of betrayal! How could Master Zhen hurt us so..?!"
"Jia: I'm... going to have a talk with them..."

(As Jia stormed out the room with her emotions becoming very high, most students noticed the change of attitude on her face. Meanwhile at the Student Counsel's Office, before Jia found out the news on Bai and Fen.)

"Fen: Welcome to the Student Counsel's Office!"

(As Bai looked in surprise to see the Student Counsel's office packed with Tier S and A ranked students were hanging out, socializing, playing games and interacting with each other but noticed Bai Zhen was inside the room but several welcoming student counsel members welcomed Bai in after being invited by Fen herself.)

"Fen: Everyone, Mr. Zhen here is a guest. Please give him the hospitality deserved."
"Everyone: YES MA'AM!"

(As everyone then began to sit down at the luncheon which was filled with different kinds of cuisines and sides, Bai was then made a plate as he was sat next to by the Student Counsel President and her vice president of the counsel as she stood up to make a toast.)

"Xuegang Gong (V.S.C.P |Tier S | Rank 11 | Power: Thunder Spirit User, Archer Blessing): Ahem... To all my colleagues and esteemed guest, Zhen Bai. Today we gather around this table and feast as not strangers, not classmates, we feast as a family. To the Student Counsel!"
"All: TO THE STUDENT COUNSEL!"

(As everyone dug in and began to eat as the door slammed open with Jia in pure rage pulls Bai away from the luncheon table as Fen was already irritated.)

"Jia: Bai! Are you okay?!"
"Fen: What the hell, Yi... Did you think.. it was wise to ruin our LUNCHEON..?!"
"Jia: Says you Student Counsel d-bags! What the fuck were you doing to him?!"
"Fen: He was a guest... I WELCOMED HIM TO THE STUDENT COUNSEL TO JOIN US!"
"Jia: ...Bai... Is this true...?"
"Bai: ...It is. The truth is, Headmaster Sun was worried about me becoming more hurt so she offered Ms. Xinya of the counsel to be my bodyguard..."
"Jia: ...Of all the people, she had to choose this dumb whore...?"

(Fen's eyes widened at Jia's insult for she was now irate as the Student Counsel pleaded Fen to calm down before a fight broke out.)

"Bai: I... I don't think it's a good idea to rile her up, Yi!"
"Fen: Mr. Zhen... please forgive me for what I'm about to do... But this bitch deserves it...!"

(As dark colored lightning began to circuit around Fen, Jia began to top her with a strong gust of wind bursting out of Jia's body as the two then stormed towards each other with their anger high as the Student Counsel's office then explodes with only small minimal damage thanks to Xuegang's Thunder Spirit releasing a shield of thunder to save the Student Counsel members and Bai as Fen and Jia began fighting outside at the school's front gates which alerted the Disciplinary Committee to once again stop them from fighting as Bai then rushes down to convince the two to stop.)

"Jia: This is always with you, you take over what the fuck you want because you always want to try and control EVERYTHING!"
"Fen: Big deal! I run the Student Counsel, you run the Disciplinary Committee, quit whining about second place!"
"Jia: ...I'LL KILL YOU!"

(As Jia then creates a powerful gust of wind cannons targeted towards Fen, she then stands where she is and vanishes instantly to Jia above her head and delivers a crushing elbow drop to the back of Jia which creates a rumbling crater as Jia was then pissed off now and summons a ghostly figure to place Fen in a choke hold and throw her across the ground as Jia pulled herself back to her feet and coughs blood as it was part of her curse to using a ghostly figure.)

"Jia Yi (Tier S | Rank 10 | Ghost Curse, Wind Blessing): I will.. f-fucking kill you...!"
"Fen: So.. You can cast a ghostly figure to attack me... But, you'll die sooner if you use it often.."
"Jia: S-SHUT YOUR MOUTH..! YOU ALWAYS USE PEOPLE..!"
"Fen: USE PEOPLE?!"

(Fen vanishes again and delivers another punch which was countered by Jia syncing the teleportation time. and grips her fist with a tight yet strong grip.)

"Fen: You dare say I use people..? You're the stupid bitch who lost your second girlfriend to a goddamn GHOUL! You have the audacity to say I use people?! You used her to lead her to a Ghoul's stomach, my childhood friend is dead because of you!"

(As Jia was hit by the guilt, Fen then uses a strong combustion skill to blast and harm Jia as she was then rolling across the ground, guilt-filled and upset at what Fen said. As Fen revealed her second blessing which was Combustion, she began to concentrate enough explosive energy to eradicate Jia in one shot as Bai has had enough and rushes to the grounds while standing in Fen's line of fire to protect Jia.)

"Fen: Mr. Zhen..! Why are you in my line of fire?"
"Bai: BECAUSE THIS ISN'T RIGHT! I don't know why the hell you two are fighting but can't you see you clearly won..?!"
"Fen: We are fighting because she ruined the luncheon and by order from the headmaster herself, I'm given permission to stop whoever brings harm to you!"
"Bai: JIA HAS NOT DONE A DAMN THING!"

(As Fen's eyes widened by knowing Bai called Jia by her first name, she halted her attack for it continued to charge.)

"Bai: Jia is someone I've known for years, she is one of the best people I've ever known! I don't know why the hell you two have the gall to try and kill each other, but if this is over protecting me, this is ridiculous!"
"Fen: Mr. Zhen, there is a deeper meaning to this you do not understand...!"
"Bai: THEN TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG...!!"

(Bai's entire body then begins to change colors as if he was a bomb while showing how angry he is by yelling.)

"Bai: AND JIA.. I AM MAD AT YOU TOO! YOU TWO ARE LEADERS, but the way I see it... YOU BOTH ARE NOTHING BUT FUCKING CHILDREN!"

(Jia and Fen was then silent at Bai's words as Jia was then ashamed of herself.)

"Fen: I know... This is not how the Student Counsel is to act... But it must be done."
"Bai: MS. FEN DON'T!"

(As the combustion blast was fired, Bai then releases his handgun blessings and fires one energy compressed bullet from each gun which dissolves and explodes the blast as Sun then slithers through Bai and tries again to kill the injured Jia but fails as a powerful tendril gripped Sun's arm and yanks her across the field again which by instinct, Fen then lands on her feet and realized Bai has had another blessing hidden the entire time.)

"Fen: Mr. Zhen... You're a double welder...?"

(Bai's left arm revealed a shapeshifting tendril as it shifted from a tendril to a long-distance razor-bladed tendril instead.)

"Bai: I hate using my blessing on schoolgrounds... I really do... But Ms. Fen, please. This fight. Is. Fucking. Over."

(As Bai reveals a glaring intent to kill in his eyes, Fen then stands down as she listened to Bai as everyone watching was in shock at what they were seeing and shared across social media which began a trending moment across the academy and several Mercenary associations. Bai then carries Jia in his arms and deactivates his second blessing as he took her to the infirmary. As the Student Counsel then rushes to regroup with Fen and the Disciplinary Committee with Bai and Jia as they rush her to the infirmary.)

"Xuegang: Ms. Fen, are you alright..?"
"Fen: I am. Do not worry, Ms. Gong."
"Xuegang: All of this over a misunderstanding..."
"Fen: Yi has always been like this... I'm done letting her get in my head. So whenever I see her, I do my hardest to ignore her... But she has finally drew a line here."
"Zedong Meng (Student Counsel Member | Tier A | Rank 4 | Power: Cubist Blessing): Look on the bright side, no one's dead..!"
"Fen: ...Yeah. For now..."

(As Sun Xinyi was in surprise at the entire incident, she then sits back down and smoked another cigarette to calm down as she was now curious about his true powers.)

"Sun: What the hell were his parents..? I know they're dead but... For Bai to have a blessing like that...? Something isn't right here..."
