My Best Bro Got Bullied by Another Bad Woman Again - Chapter 11

Meanwhile, in the medical ward of Wutong Academy…

Jiang Wuqiu slowly opened her eyes.

The first thing she saw was a beautiful woman standing beside her bed.

The woman had long wavy purple hair, wore an elegant witch’s hat, and was dressed in a backless black dress paired with long gloves and black stockings.

She looked both graceful and alluring.

“Dean…?”

The woman was none other than Chang Wutong—

Founder and dean of Wutong Academy.

“Oh, Xiao Qiu.”

“Why are you being so formal?”

“It’s just the two of us.”

Smiling warmly, Chang Wutong sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to hold Jiang Wuqiu’s hand.

Jiang Wuqiu quietly pulled it away.

“What are you here for?”

“To visit my good friend, of course.”

Chang Wutong’s smile remained.

“And…”

“Who exactly beat you into this condition?”

Although she was still smiling…

Jiang Wuqiu immediately realized something.

Chang Wutong was angry.

With a helpless sigh, Jiang Wuqiu recounted everything that had happened.

From beginning to end.

When she finished, she shrugged.

“Go ahead.”

“If you want to laugh, laugh.”

“When I recover…”

“I’m challenging him again.”

Chang Wutong chuckled.

“I should laugh.”

“After all…”

“The famous Iron Wall challenged someone first…”

“And got sent flying with one punch.”

“That’s definitely funny.”

Her smile slowly disappeared.

“But…”

“My friend got beaten.”

“So naturally…”

“I have to stand up for her.”

“No!”

Jiang Wuqiu immediately sat upright.

“You absolutely can’t beat him.”

“If anything, you should ask Xiaowei to investigate his identity first.”

She knew their strengths perfectly well.

The three of them—

Herself…

Chang Wutong…

And Xiaowei…

Were all roughly on the same level.

If she had been defeated instantly…

The other two wouldn’t fare any better.

“Hmph.”

Chang Wutong crossed her arms confidently.

“My friend got beaten.”

“I have to get revenge.”

“Besides…”

“Guess what I brought back from the Technology Expo?”

“…What?”

“A Spatial Collapse Device.”

Jiang Wuqiu froze.

“That thing?!”

Chang Wutong proudly nodded.

“It compresses and seals space itself.”

“Nothing can enter.”

“Nothing can escape.”

“With this…”

“No matter how strong that man is…”

“He won’t be able to do anything.”

“You actually managed to get one…”

“Exactly.”

Chang Wutong smiled proudly.

“Technology and magic are both forms of power.”

“Xiao Qiu…”

“You rely too much on brute strength.”

“This time…”

“I’ll avenge you.”

Jiang Wuqiu sighed.

“…Just be careful.”

Chang Wutong waved cheerfully before leaving.

Watching the door close, Jiang Wuqiu slowly lay back down.

Maybe…

I’m worrying too much.

If that device really works…

At least protecting herself shouldn’t be a problem.

Thinking that, she closed her eyes to rest.

…

About ten minutes later—

“AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!”

Jiang Wuqiu’s eyes snapped open.

“…?”

That voice…

Why did it sound so familiar?

The next second—

BOOM!!

A figure smashed straight through the hospital wall before crashing heavily into the room.

Dust exploded everywhere.

When it finally settled…

The person lying in the crater was…

Chang Wutong.

Her elegant appearance had completely vanished.

Her clothes were covered in dust.

Her hat had disappeared somewhere.

Most notably…

A piece of paper was stuck squarely to her forehead.

Written on it were the words:

Rest for a few days. You’ll recover soon.

Jiang Wuqiu blinked.

“…Wutong.”

“You… lost too?”

Chang Wutong weakly raised a thumb.

“…Yeah…”

“I even brought Xiaoqian and Azhong…”

“And activated the Spatial Collapse Device…”

Jiang Wuqiu finally noticed the tiny fairy dragon and the mechanical sphere lying nearby.

“So…”

“You actually brought them too.”

“Looks like you weren’t completely reckless.”

“…Although…”

“It clearly didn’t change the outcome.”

Chang Wutong weakly nodded.

“What exactly happened?”

Chang Wutong thought for a moment.

“…It took me one minute to gather Xiaoqian and Azhong.”

“Eight minutes to find him and talk.”

“And one minute…”

“…To get punched back here.”

“…Could you explain in more detail?”

“Fine.”

“I found the man lying on a bench.”

“The two girls beside him were actually very polite.”

“And they were really adorable…”

“The important part.”

Jiang Wuqiu interrupted expressionlessly.

“Right.”

“I told him I wanted to challenge him.”

“He immediately refused.”

“He even asked…”

“‘Instead of wasting time doing meaningless things, why not do something worthwhile?'”

Chang Wutong puffed up angrily.

“Can you believe that?”

“Was everything I was doing meaningless?”

“I…”

“Cough…”

She quickly calmed herself.

“Anyway…”

“I couldn’t argue with him.”

“So I simply said…”

“I had to stand up for my friend.”

“He looked a little annoyed.”

“Then he stood up…”

“And asked me…”

“‘Which hospital are you staying in?'”

“‘What floor?'”

“‘Which room?'”

“I thought he was provoking me.”

“So I answered.”

Jiang Wuqiu slowly glanced toward the enormous hole in the wall.

“…I understand now.”

“And then?”

“You started fighting?”

“Yes.”

“Xiaoqian enlarged herself.”

“Azhong transformed.”

“I activated the Spatial Collapse Device while chanting.”

“Then…”

“He threw one punch.”

“And after that…”

“I don’t remember anything.”

“When I woke up…”

“We were already flying back here.”

“…Maybe Xiaoqian or Azhong knows what happened.”

Jiang Wuqiu looked toward the two companions.

Xiaoqian:

“…”

Foam dripped from the tiny dragon’s mouth.

Azhong:

“…”

The little mechanical sphere stared blankly into space.

Neither was capable of answering.

“…Forget it.”

“They’re in no condition to explain.”

She sighed.

“You really brought them along?”

“They’re not even seventh-rank yet.”

“What if the old man found out?”

“I only wanted them to buy me enough time…”

“So I could activate the device.”

“I never imagined…”

“He’d actually let us finish preparing.”

“And I definitely didn’t expect…”

“One punch…”

“To send all three of us flying.”

“The Spatial Collapse Device…”

“Was completely useless…”

“Cough…”

“Cough…”

“Enough.”

Jiang Wuqiu shook her head.

“Let’s recover first.”

“Then we’ll think about how to approach him.”

“…You’re right.”

Chang Wutong nodded weakly.

“We should approach him with good intentions.”

“We definitely shouldn’t make him dislike us.”

Jiang Wuqiu raised an eyebrow.

“You’re only saying that…”

“Because you realized you can’t beat him.”

“…You got me.”

Chang Wutong smiled helplessly.

“I’m counting on you now…”

Before she could finish—

Her eyes rolled back.

Thud.

She fainted.

“Wutong?”

“Dean?”

“…Someone!”

“Come quickly!”

Even unconscious…

Jiang Wuqiu couldn’t help admiring her friend’s determination.

She had stubbornly stayed awake just long enough to report everything…

Only then did she finally collapse.

Soon afterward, Chang Wutong was wheeled away.

In just two days…

Two of the six seventh-rank magical girls responsible for the southern Jiangzhou region had been hospitalized after challenging the same man.

Fortunately…

The incident remained confidential.

No public panic followed.

…

Meanwhile…

Back at the training grounds…

Sun Du lay comfortably across a bench.

Like some anime protagonist with bottomless pockets, he continuously pulled out random items.

A bottle of juice.

A small radio.

A parasol.

Everything seemed to fit inside somehow.

Soon, soft music drifted from the radio.

“Oh, my dear child…
Have you seen that angel?
She’ll love you just as I do…
Go see my world with her…”

The gentle lullaby created a peaceful atmosphere.

Nearby…

Lu Xiaoxiao continued practicing her magic with endless determination.

Not far away…

Liu Nuanyu remained squatting in the corner.

She looked completely lifeless.

As though she were seriously questioning her entire existence.

Sun Du glanced over.

Then nodded approvingly.

“Much better.”

“At least she’s finally quiet.”

He took another sip of juice.

“Honestly…”

“Stop hovering around me while blinking your eyes every few seconds.”

“If they hurt that much…”

“Just say something.”

“It’s not like I can’t lend you some eye drops.”
