My Best Bro Got Bullied by Another Bad Woman Again - Chapter 21
In the southeastern section of District One, inside the high-security prison within the fortress that held captured evil creatures, Luluye stared eagerly toward the entrance.
The corridor was completely dark, making it impossible to see anything.
Still, she kept watching.
She had heard the commotion outside and knew only one thing—
Her teacher had come to rescue her.
After waiting for a while, footsteps echoed through the hallway.
Someone was coming.
The lights flickered on.
Luluye immediately spotted a head of long black hair.
Teacher!
But…
Why did she seem… shorter?
It didn’t matter.
Her teacher had finally arrived!
“Teacher! You old—”
Her joyful smile froze.
Only then did she realize why her teacher looked shorter.
Ayramirong wasn’t walking.
She had been tied up just like Luluye and was being carried over someone’s shoulder like a piece of luggage.
And the person carrying her…
Was that man.
Sun Du.
“Inside.”
With a casual kick, Sun Du sent Ayramirong tumbling into the cell.
She landed face-first in the dirt.
He closed the cell door without another word and walked away.
Ayramirong slowly raised her head.
Across the room, Luluye stared at her with wide eyes.
Teacher and student looked at one another in complete silence.
Neither knew what to say.
After a long pause, Luluye finally broke the silence.
“…Teacher.”
“You got caught too?”
Ayramirong rolled her eyes.
“What nonsense.”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
She struggled awkwardly into a sitting position.
Because of the ropes binding her body, even that simple movement required considerable effort.
Looking at her usually elegant teacher in such a miserable state, Luluye couldn’t suppress her curiosity.
“So…”
“How did you get caught?”
Ayramirong immediately frowned.
“Don’t ask questions you shouldn’t.”
She knew this troublesome student far too well.
Everyone in the Mocking Witch Society loved excitement.
And Luluye…
Was the worst of them all.
There was no way Ayramirong would voluntarily describe such a humiliating defeat.
Seeing her teacher refuse to answer, Luluye decided to fish for information instead.
“Teacher…”
“Judging from the commotion outside…”
“You must have used your Dark Abyss Fog and Spatial Isolation.”
“So how were you still captured?”
“…Has your magic become unreliable?”
Ayramirong snorted.
“What do you mean unreliable?”
“I had the advantage the entire time.”
“Then that fellow suddenly threw some strange magical artifact at me.”
“It tied me up before I could react.”
“Oh…”
Luluye nodded thoughtfully.
The advantage?
Sure…
More like he wasn’t taking you seriously until the end.
Of course, she wisely kept those thoughts to herself.
Still curious, she continued pushing her luck.
“So…”
“What kind of magical artifact was it?”
“It sounds incredibly powerful.”
“…”
Ayramirong narrowed her eyes.
“Why are you so interested?”
Luluye flashed an innocent grin.
“Just curious.”
“Heh.”
“You just want to hear me embarrass myself.”
“You little brat.”
“You actually dare laugh at your own teacher?”
Seeing the familiar icy glare on Ayramirong’s face, Luluye instinctively shivered.
She was just about to apologize…
When she suddenly noticed something.
Wait…
Teacher can’t move right now.
That realization instantly reignited her courage.
Opportunities like this were incredibly rare.
Her lips curled into a mischievous grin.
“Teacher…”
“You can’t use your magic now, can you?”
“You can barely move.”
Knowing exactly what Luluye was thinking, Ayramirong warned coldly,
“Are you not afraid…”
“…that once we’re out of here…”
“…I’ll settle the score with you?”
Luluye giggled.
“We’ll worry about that after we escape.”
As she spoke, she deliberately blew a puff of air toward Ayramirong’s bangs.
“You little brat!”
“When we get out…”
“I’ll hang you upside down!”
“I’ll grab a pointer and personally teach you what respecting your teacher means!”
None of the people outside noticed the teacher and student’s little quarrel.
After capturing Ayramirong, Sun Du had returned to rest.
Although he didn’t need sleep…
He could sleep.
So why not?
The previous night’s rescue had earned him the gratitude and admiration of everyone stationed at the fortress.
The next morning, as Sun Du prepared to question the prisoners, the enthusiasm around him was as strong as ever.
“Mr. Sun!”
“We’re truly sorry you had to rescue us personally last night.”
“You really didn’t need to worry about us.”
“If that witch had escaped from prison because of us—”
“Alright, alright.”
Sun Du waved his hand.
“If they escaped…”
“We’d simply capture them again.”
“Besides…”
“You should strengthen the prison’s security.”
“Yes, sir.”
“We’ll make the necessary improvements.”
“Good.”
Sun Du nodded before turning toward Liu Nuanyu.
“Miss Liu.”
“You already informed your teacher and the dean about the capture of Ayramirong and Luluye?”
“Yes.”
She hesitated.
“Mr. Sun…”
“Did I do something wrong?”
“No.”
“You handled it well.”
“They deserve to know.”
“They’ve dealt with the Mocking Witch Society longer than I have.”
“If things can be resolved peacefully…”
“Then that’s naturally the best outcome.”
“It should be possible.”
Liu Nuanyu smiled confidently.
“The teachers and the dean are all very reasonable people.”
“…Reasonable?”
Something about that statement didn’t sound convincing.
Sun Du glanced toward Lu Xiaoxiao.
She quietly shook her head.
Whether that meant she didn’t know…
Or disagreed…
Was impossible to tell.
The group soon arrived at the prison.
As the lights came on, everyone froze.
Teacher and student were still glaring at one another.
Ayramirong’s eyes were filled with irritation.
Luluye’s gaze carried equal parts mockery and defiance.
Neither of them paid the slightest attention to the newcomers.
Seeing this strange scene, Sun Du asked,
“…These two seem to have quite a close relationship.”
“But…”
“Why do they look ready to kill each other?”
He paused before asking another question.
“By the way…”
“Have they been given anything to eat?”
Captain Li blinked.
“Huh?”
“No…”
“We figured…”
“With their strength…”
“Skipping a few meals wouldn’t matter.”
Sun Du sighed.
“We’re not torturing prisoners.”
“So why aren’t we feeding them?”
“Basic humanitarian treatment still applies.”
Captain Li looked embarrassed.
“My apologies.”
“I’ll have someone prepare food immediately.”
“Go ahead.”
Sun Du nodded.
“They also seem mentally… unusual.”
“I’ll speak with them first.”
He unlocked the cell door and walked inside.
Neither teacher nor student noticed him.
They were still busy arguing.
Curious, Sun Du quietly stepped closer.
Ayramirong growled,
“You little brat!”
“When we get out…”
“I’ll hang you from the ceiling!”
“I’ll beat respect into you with a pointer!”
Luluye snorted.
“Stop dreaming, old woman.”
“Do you really think they’ll come rescue us?”
“Hah.”
“Knowing those people’s personalities…”
“You’d have better luck hoping the people here take pity on you.”
“…?”
Sun Du blinked.
Something about this teacher-student relationship feels… strange.
This doesn’t sound like two people desperately relying on each other.
Instead…
It sounds like one mischievous troublemaker deliberately provoking her teacher at every opportunity.
