207 Pushing Aside Criticism

“Lu Benwei, class is over!”

“Lu Benwei, don’t hide in the dormitory and play dead. Everyone knows you didn’t go to the Legacy Hall!”

“If our school’s results are affected because of you because of the poor response of your elected members, can you bear the responsibility?”

The cold late autumn night could not resist the anger of the masses. The crowd was excited. Some extreme people entered the dormitory from the back door and tried to pry open Lu Benwei’s dormitory door with crowbars.

Fortunately, the dormitory door of Zhejiang Hunter University was specially designed. Without a key, it was impossible to open it with unconventional means. After trying to no avail, someone suggested burning down Lu Benwei’s dormitory. Fortunately, the school security team came in time, or else a big disaster would have been inevitable.

!!

At the same time, in Chen Yuan’s office.

The elite leaders of Zhejiang Hunter University gathered, their faces dark.

“Old Chen, look at what you’ve done.”

“I didn’t think it was appropriate for you to let Lu Benwei participate in the tournament. Now, almost half of the students in the school are in a riot because of him.”

The others all agreed and expressed their dissatisfaction.

“Yes, principal. I’m so annoyed by my students. They’re asking me to choose a new candidate, but I don’t have the ability to do so.”

“Principal, your feelings right now are the same as how my students surrounded me and shouted at me. Even if you don’t consider the feelings of the students, you must consider our feelings.”

“Now the students are protesting around the dormitory building because of this. If Lu Benwei really doesn’t get a satisfactory result, the students will tear down the school.”

“Principal!”

“Alright, everyone. Please be quiet.” Chen Yuan stood up and clapped his hands to stop the crowd.

The crowd suddenly shut their mouths.

“I know what you want. I want to hear your specific opinions.” Chen Yuan sat down again and even crossed his legs.

At this moment, everyone was staring at each other.

“This…”

One of the professors chuckled and said, “Old Chen, I don’t have any objections to Lu Benwei participating. After all, he’s undoubtedly strong and he can definitely be ranked in the top three in our school. But his team members are really weak.”

Many people frowned and sighed when they mentioned Lu Benwei’s choice of teammates.

“Hai Yue is still okay. She’s at level 42 and has already completed her second class transition. Chu Yan won’t have a problem getting first place in the freshmen tournament. The key is that the remaining two people are a bit of a burden.”

“You want me to convince Lu Benwei to remove Zhao Xiaoqi and Lin Feng?” Chen Yuan asked in a deep voice.

The crowd fell silent.

Chen Yuan said, “I know Lu Benwei very well. He won’t agree to it.”

“Hmph, he’s just a first-year student. Does he really think that he’s the only one in the world with some results?” A radical director coldly said, “Remove those two. We’ll pick two people for him.”

Chen Yuan smiled lightly, but his eyes were cold.

“Old Yuan, I’m afraid Lu Benwei will tear down the school if we do this.”

“Then are we just going to let him bring two low-level freshmen to the National Class Tournament and make a fool of himself? If our university falls again because of him, who’s going to be responsible?” Department Director Yuan said angrily.

“I’ll take responsibility!” Chen Yuan shouted coldly.

The people in the office were stunned. Some of them could not even look into Chen Yuan’s eyes.

After a while, Chen Yuan’s expression returned to normal. “If Lu Benwei’s team can’t get into the top eight, I, Chen Yuan, will resign.”

“Boom!”

It was as if a bolt of lightning had exploded above everyone’s heads. Everyone’s mouths were wide open at this moment.

“Principal Chen, why do you say that?”

Chen Yuan replied calmly, “Under my leadership, our school’s results in the National Class Tournament have been declining seriously every year. I’ve long been responsible for it.”

Someone said weakly, “Principal! It’s not your fault that our school’s results have declined.”

Before Chen Yuan took over the position of the university, the decline had been hard to hide. However, the year the previous principal passed the baton to Chen Yuan, the decline of the university was like a landslide.

Chen Yuan’s character was not suitable to be a principal, which meant that he was meant to be the scapegoat. However, under Chen Yuan’s leadership for the next few years, the decline of Zhejiang Hunter University had been delayed.

“Alright, say no more. I’ve made up my mind.”

Chen Yuan cleared his throat.

“Since I decided to let Lu Benwei participate and bet on him, I’ll respect his decision.”

With that, he drove everyone away.

At the same time, on the other side, in the direction of the student dormitory building, the crowd was still excited, telling Lu Benwei to be replaced.

As a member of Zhejiang Hunter University, Lu Benwei represented the school in the tournament, but he also represented the honor of the entire school. One person’s glory would bring glory to the entire school! If one person was humiliated, the entire school would be humiliated!

Lu Benwei sent two freshmen who had not completed the second transition to participate in the National Class Tournament. They would probably be eliminated in the first round.

As one of the nine hunter high schools, their school would probably become the laughingstock of the other eight schools.

“Lu Benwei, either class is over, or you change people!”

“Lu Benwei, either class is over, or you change people!”

…

The students were so excited that their slogans could penetrate the heavens and earth.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. In front of Lu Benwei’s dormitory building, there was a large group of people shouting slogans every night.

At this moment, Lu Benwei came back with a scallion pancake in his hand.

“In just ten days, I’ve finally gotten used to the power of a super Holy Key Sage. I’ll spend the remaining week in the dormitory meditating,” Lu Benwei said to himself.

At this time, Lu Benwei suddenly found that a group of angry students had gathered in the dormitory building, and behind them, another group of people had gathered to watch the show.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Benwei asked a random person.

“I don’t know, I’m just following blindly to join in the fun,” the man replied.

Lu Benwei was speechless.

“Brother, what happened? Why are so many people angry?” he asked the person beside him.

“I heard that it’s because of the National Class Tournament. Because the players selected are too weak, it’s likely that their results will be unsatisfactory, and they will embarrass the school. If you ask me, the students these days are just too full of themselves,” the man said with his arms crossed.

Lu Benwei fell into deep thought. Why did the person he was talking about sound more and more like him?
