NOVEL NEXT WORLD C7
Chapter Seven: Shock
In the morning, the strange creatures in Lingdu had mostly dispersed.
Yuyin got up an hour early; as it was her first time actively changing into a girl’s school uniform for school, it indeed took more time.
Lingdu was an international metropolis, and the uniform of the 21st High School was still very neat and attractive. Walking on the small road where electric bikes hurried by, Yuyin wore a white shirt and a black skirt, heading to school with the other students. However, the skirt seemed a bit short, and the shirt felt a little tight; Yuyin was somewhat worried about the quality of the button on her chest…
However, students in Lingdu faced a lot of pressure and were rather shy, so they wouldn’t greet each other with “good morning” all the way.
The first class in the morning was physical education, which showed how martial this world was.
“Yuyin, why aren’t you wearing your tennis outfit?” In the hall of the teaching building, Xu Weiwei, dressed in a track vest and shorts, came over to greet her, her boyish short hair looking sharp.
“Weren’t you supposed to teach everyone how to play tennis today?” Xu Weiwei continued.
“Ah?”
Tennis?
Yuyin had already searched for a lot of information on her phone and joined the class group, and she found out she was actually the city’s girls’ high school tennis singles champion, no wonder her physique was so good.
But now, she didn’t know how to play tennis… Wouldn’t she be exposed?
Just as she was about to make an excuse to decline, she saw on the shoe rack, Ying Luo in a white tennis T-shirt and short skirt, wearing a purple headband, holding a purple racket, standing there with a serious and expectant expression.
“Tennis is an excellent sport for improving coordination and physical strength. Statistics show that girls who excel at tennis have a 60% higher chance of becoming source warriors than the average.” When she met Yuyin’s gaze, Ying Luo seemed to be justifying herself.
It seemed she couldn’t refuse.
However, when Yuyin touched the tennis racket, the memories from her body immediately awakened.
“Bang, pop, bang.”
In the morning campus, on the tennis court, although Yuyin was wearing a school uniform, she swiftly ran back and forth, gracefully swinging the racket, hitting the ball powerfully with precise placement, surprisingly matching the male PE teacher shot for shot. This drew cheers from the surrounding boys and girls.
Not to mention the girls in the class, even the boys couldn’t keep up with her; this PE teacher had previously retired from the city’s badminton second team.
Yuyin had excellent stamina, and even the thirty-year-old PE teacher was left exhausted. At that moment, Yuyin felt a sense of liberation; it turned out that intense exercise was so exhilarating, and defeating an opponent through skill and strength, making them struggle, felt like this.
Tiring, but incredibly refreshing.
Before her rebirth, her body had been too weak, and she wasn’t good at sports, never experiencing the thrill and fulfillment of such intense exercise.
The sunlight and the scent of fresh grass felt like gifts from the world; she seemed to sense that there was some kind of power contained within.
After the tennis “exhibition match,” Yuyin was warm all over, her fragrant sweat making her resemble a moving flower patch, leaving a trail of slightly squint-inducing fragrance wherever she went.
Seeing her in such good condition, unaffected by family matters, her classmates naturally wouldn’t bring it up again. The student council president, Xia Yuyin, was also the focus of attention during PE class.
Among the girls, Ying Luo seemed to be subtly increasing her breathing; could it be that she didn’t want to miss out on the scent of the president wafting through the air?
“President…”
“What’s wrong?” Seeing Ying Luo approach her with a somewhat nervous expression, Yuyin, both physiologically and psychologically, felt no resistance and asked comfortably.
However, Ying Luo seemed quite troubled, tiptoeing to whisper in Yuyin’s ear, “Aren’t you wearing safety shorts…?”
“Eh?”
Yuyin didn’t immediately react to this question, but her female body instinctively flushed with heat; could it be that her movements had been too vigorous just now…
“Don’t worry, from the angle just now, others shouldn’t have seen anything.” Ying Luo quietly added.
“Hmm…” Does this mean she saw it?
Next, the girls began their track training, while the boys played soccer with another class.
Yuyin specifically went to change into sports shorts at the girls’ tennis club behind the tennis court.
Through a few words from the PE teacher, she confirmed that she was a member of the girls’ tennis club, and to be precise, she was the captain, with her own locker.
However, inside it were only the sports shorts she had worn before and hadn’t had the chance to wash yet. They were a bit wrinkled, but since they were hers, she put them on. Some parts of her body smoothed out the wrinkles as she moved.
Wearing the sports shorts felt much more comfortable. After all, Yuyin had no experience in naturally avoiding wardrobe malfunctions and could only rely on her body’s reflexes from time to time.
So, Yuyin began her warm-up exercises by the track. Now, even if she bent down to touch the ground, she didn’t have to worry about any mishaps.
“Bang!”
A soccer ball flew onto the field and hit Yuyin right on her backside.
The ball had quite a bit of force, and Yuyin nearly fell over from the unexpected impact.
“Hahahahahaha!”
This drew the malicious laughter of several boys playing soccer, with Zhang Biaoyang laughing the loudest among them.
It was he who had “accidentally” kicked the ball just now.
If it was an accident, it wouldn’t be a big deal. Although the kick was strong, she was fine, but these people were laughing without a hint of guilt.
Yuyin’s expression darkened.
“Beast, your kick is too accurate! With such a big field, why kick someone like Miss President?” A sturdy boy from the neighboring class with a shaved head came over and patted Zhang Biaoyang.
“What are you talking about? I didn’t do it on purpose! How was I supposed to know I could kick it so accurately, right, Miss President?” Zhang Biaoyang clearly took pride in his kicking skills, showing off.
“Don’t do that, you’ll make her cry. Hurry up and apologize.”
“Apologize? I’m not in the habit of apologizing. How about we find a place later, and I’ll apologize to you alone, how about it, Xia Yuyin?” Zhang Biaoyang was clearly pleased with himself, boasting about his kicking.
Yuyin took a deep breath, turned, and walked away, not wanting to deal with these ruffians.
“Hey, help us pick up the ball!” a sturdy boy from the neighboring class called out.
“Miss President, help us get the ball, thanks!”
“Miss President is angry, hahahaha.”
“Is it really necessary, Xia Yuyin? If you’re mad at me, just say it. Don’t make me look bad in front of my bros here!” Zhang Biaoyang deliberately shouted loudly.
The boys on the field erupted in a chorus of jeers.
“Yuyin…” Not far away, Ying Luo watched all of this unfold.
The girls from Class One and the boys all stopped, their expressions darkening.
“Damn, they’re bullying our class…” Zhang Huohuo couldn’t help but want to fight back but was held back by a classmate. “Are you crazy? That’s Zhang Biaoyang…”
Amid the jeers, Yuyin stopped, turned around, and her chest rose and fell as she did, drawing even more gasps and murmurs.
Yuyin walked toward the soccer ball.
“Don’t pick the wrong one, it’s the ball on the ground.”
“What?”
“Isn’t she carrying two balls?”
This crude joke caused a burst of laughter from Class Two, while the students from Class One turned pale, but dared not speak up. In this school, no one dared to provoke Zhang Biaoyang, and the teacher had just gone to the storage room to get equipment.
Yuyin stood still, a few steps away from the soccer ball, seemingly staring at the goal, her long legs instinctively adjusting their distance.
This posture looked like she was about to kick the ball.
“Hey? Miss President, you can’t be serious? This is soccer, not a rubber ball.”
“You… you’re not going to take a corner kick, are you?”
Indeed, the ball was near the baseline, but on the outside track, it was still over twenty meters from the goal.
“Xia Yuyin, this isn’t something for girls to play with! Be careful not to twist your ankle; I’d feel sorry for you!” Zhang Biaoyang grinned, revealing a gap in his teeth.
This drew another round of laughter.
Amid the laughter, Yuyin took off.
She didn’t even know why she was doing this, but at that moment, scenes of world-class soccer stars taking corner kicks flashed through her mind. Her body, before she made a decision, naturally felt those movements and acted.
“If you can kick it past half the field, I’ll eat my soccer shoes!” Zhang Biaoyang added spontaneously.
With a few steps of momentum, she pushed off with her right foot, lifting her left foot.
Bang!
The soccer ball spun and flew out with unexpected speed, tracing a high arc in the air.
At that moment, everyone was stunned, their eyes following the ball’s flight. Only Zhang Biaoyang was confidently winking at his girlfriend Chen Yan by the goal.
The ball traced a banana-like curve in the air, not only crossing half the field but seemingly heading for the far corner of the goal.
Even the goalkeeper was stunned.
But the ball drifted a bit and ultimately missed by a few meters, skimming past the goal.
Everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Bang!
The soccer ball hit Zhang Biaoyang’s face, who had just turned around, and bounced into the goal.
“…”
In an instant, everyone was dumbfounded. Both Class One and Class Two fell silent.
The teacher, holding a hurdle frame, couldn’t help but drop it to the ground.
Zhang Biaoyang sat down, half of his face marked by the ball, looking pitifully at the soccer ball rolling into the goal.
That was his own goal.
Suddenly, a sound of a bell that no one else could hear seemed to directly enter Yuyin’s consciousness.
“Ding——! Successfully shocked the crowd, gaining 2 Soul Charm points; successfully broke Zhang Biaoyang’s conclusion, gaining 3 Soul Charm points.”
