My Best Bro Got Bullied by Another Bad Woman Again - Chapter 28

“Welcome! Welcome! A warm welcome!”

Standing at the gates of Wutong Academy, the thirty-something Dean Chang Wutong enthusiastically waved two pom-poms in greeting. Beside her, Jiang Wuqiu covered her face with one hand, hoping no students would recognize her.

Fortunately, everyone was in class.

“Wow, Xiao-mei, look!” Liu Nuanyu exclaimed. “The dean and Teacher Jiang actually came out to welcome us!”

“Sister Liu,” Lu Xiaoxiao replied helplessly, “stop pretending. They’re obviously here to welcome Commander Sun.”

“Waaah… I know.” Liu Nuanyu pouted. “I just don’t understand why the dean is one thing, but Teacher Jiang never comes out to greet anyone. Why today?”

“Maybe the dean dragged her here.”

“…Or maybe Teacher Jiang wants another fight.”

The convoy stopped.

Liu Nuanyu and Lu Xiaoxiao stepped out first, followed by Sun Du.

Liu Nuanyu still held onto a sliver of hope, but reality was merciless.

Chang Wutong and Jiang Wuqiu walked straight past the two girls and headed directly for Sun Du.

Grasping his hand warmly, Chang Wutong smiled brightly.

“Welcome, Mr. Sun. Thank you for escorting these two children back safely.”

Sun Du shook his head.

“It was simply giving them a ride, not an escort.”

“I’m the one who troubled Dean Chang and Ms. Jiang by making you wait.”

“Oh, not at all.”

Chang Wutong waved both hands.

“We only just arrived ourselves.”

Liu Nuanyu stood nearby, speechless.

Only just arrived?

You’ve been waiting at the school gate since early this morning!

At six o’clock, the dean had already started messaging her repeatedly, asking when they would arrive, grinning like an overexcited child the entire time.

Clearing her throat, Liu Nuanyu interrupted,

“Ahem… Dean… shouldn’t we head inside first?”

Sun Du nodded in agreement.

“She’s right.”

“Dean Chang, Xiaoxiao should put her luggage back in the dormitory first.”

Chang Wutong secretly glared at Liu Nuanyu.

This child really has no sense of timing.

I’m trying to build a good relationship with Mr. Sun, and she interrupts already?

Still, since Sun Du had spoken, she could only smile.

“Of course.”

“Mr. Sun, please allow me to lead the way.”

“Wait!”

Jiang Wuqiu suddenly stepped forward.

“I still want to fight you.”

“I’m not satisfied with our last match.”

Chang Wutong froze.

“…”

What is wrong with all of you today?

Liu Nuanyu acting childish is one thing…

But Xiao Qiu?

Do you really want another one-punch defeat?

The gap between you two couldn’t be more obvious!

Sun Du looked at Jiang Wuqiu.

Her eyes burned with excitement.

She was a genuine battle fanatic.

He really didn’t have time for this.

If she insisted…

He would have to find her another opponent.

Worst case…

He could always make ten kilograms of ultra-concentrated croton juice and let her spend three days and nights living in the bathroom.

Looking at her, Sun Du asked,

“Considering the difference between our strengths…”

“Do we really need another match?”

Jiang Wuqiu answered confidently.

“I admit you’re stronger.”

“But that doesn’t mean I’ll never surpass you.”

Sun Du nodded.

“How about this?”

“I’ll find you an opponent.”

“When you can defeat it decisively…”

“Come challenge me again.”

Jiang Wuqiu’s eyes lit up.

“What kind of opponent?”

Without another word, Sun Du sliced through empty space with one hand, as though pulling down the zipper of reality itself.

A spatial rift opened.

Out walked…

A gray donkey.

It had unusually long nose hairs and an inexplicably smug expression.

Sun Du gently patted its neck.

“It calls itself James Kramersh.”

“But it also answers to ‘Woo-Ha Donkey,’ as long as you’re polite.”

The donkey bowed gracefully.

“Good morning, ladies.”

“I am the distinguished James Kramersh.”

It even imitated human etiquette, balancing on its hind legs while using its front hooves like hands.

Everyone stared in astonishment.

Especially Jiang Wuqiu.

After a long pause, she asked,

“…This donkey…”

“…is my opponent?”

The donkey immediately widened its eyes.

“What?”

“Judging a donkey by its appearance?”

Feeling slightly embarrassed, Jiang Wuqiu hurriedly explained,

“I’m sorry…”

“It’s just…”

“You look…”

“…rather ordinary.”

“Ordinary?”

The donkey snorted.

“I am anything but ordinary!”

“Woo-ha!”

“Watch carefully!”

The instant it finished speaking…

It vanished.

Or rather—

It moved so quickly that Jiang Wuqiu could barely perceive it.

Her combat instincts immediately took over.

She swung a punch toward the afterimage.

Boom!

Her fist collided with something solid.

A violent shockwave erupted outward.

The ground shattered into a massive spiderweb of cracks.

Sun Du casually snapped his fingers.

Space folded around the battlefield, trapping every shockwave within an invisible barrier so none of the spectators—especially Lu Xiaoxiao and Liu Nuanyu—would be injured.

Inside the barrier…

Jiang Wuqiu’s fist was locked against the donkey’s raised forehoof.

The donkey stood upright like a boxer, its hoof replacing a clenched fist.

Boom!

Another explosive collision.

The two were blown backward.

Jiang Wuqiu slid twenty-eight centimeters.

The donkey only twenty-four.

A slight advantage.

Jiang Wuqiu glanced at her fist.

Then at the donkey.

“So…”

“My strength and speed are actually inferior.”

Her brows furrowed briefly.

Then…

They relaxed.

A smile slowly spread across her face.

“Interesting…”

The donkey proudly wagged its tail.

“How about that?”

“I, James Kramersh, am no ordinary donkey.”

Balancing on its hind legs, it raised both forelegs into a boxing stance.

Jiang Wuqiu smiled.

“You’re certainly not ordinary.”

“But…”

“You attacked first.”

“What if…”

“I make the first move this time?”

Before finishing her sentence, she shot forward again, her fist swinging toward the donkey.

“Imitation alone isn’t enough, Mr. James!”

Clang!

Her punch was intercepted.

Although neither side wore armor, the impact sounded like steel crashing against steel.

Had either of them been wearing gauntlets…

Sparks would have flown everywhere.

The donkey grinned.

“My lady…”

“You’re mistaken.”

“I imitate…”

“But I never simply imitate.”

“I’m a donkey.”

“And I fight according to my own rules.”

Without fingers, it couldn’t grab her fist.

Instead, its hoof slid away.

It spun gracefully.

Its tail whipped across in a sweeping strike.

Caught off guard by such an unconventional attack, Jiang Wuqiu barely managed to block by kicking backward.

Had she reacted a moment slower…

The donkey’s powerful hind-leg kick would have landed cleanly.

Chuckling smugly, the donkey said,

“If you think I rely only on physical strength…”

“Then you’ve underestimated me.”

“Back on my home planet…”

“Every beast has to learn real martial arts.”

“Remember that.”

Its expression tried to look confident and imposing.

Unfortunately…

With that face…

It still looked hilariously ridiculous.

Jiang Wuqiu snorted.

“This isn’t over yet.”

The donkey quickly raised a hoof.

“Wait.”

“Let’s move somewhere else.”

“I’d rather not destroy public property.”

Jiang Wuqiu nodded immediately.

“Fine.”

“I know the perfect place.”

“Follow me.”

The spatial barrier disappeared.

A second later, Jiang Wuqiu shot away like lightning.

The donkey followed just as quickly.

Both vanished into the distance almost instantly.

Watching them leave, Sun Du sighed.

“Those two…”

“They really do destroy everything they touch.”

He snapped his fingers once more.

The shattered ground instantly repaired itself.

Within seconds…

It looked exactly as it had before.

Shaking his head, he muttered,

“I already repaired the walls before leaving District One.”

“Couldn’t either of them spare a thought for public property?”
