Chapter 24 Should you give it to him just because he wants it?
Jiang Ming watched expressionlessly, offering neither an answer nor making any further movements.
When Deputy Director Liu saw that no one was paying attention to him, he felt a little embarrassed, but he quickly regained his teacher-like demeanor.
"That's right. The situation is special right now, and the school is organizing teachers who will stay on campus to protect everyone."
He pointed to a few equally disheveled male teachers not far away.
"We are adults after all, strong and experienced, so it's only right that we rush to the front."
"However, the weapons we have are too poor, making it difficult to exert our combat effectiveness."
Deputy Director Liu paused, his gaze once again fixed on the axe in Wang Yang's hand.
"Young man, please hand your axe to the teacher. It can be of greater use in the teacher's hands and can protect more students."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Ming again.
"And this student, your shield and longsword will also be temporarily requisitioned by the school. Once this crisis is over, the school will award you a major commendation, and you will be given priority consideration in performance evaluations and awards."
These words and this series of moves were spoken in a very grand and dignified manner.
Righteous and awe-inspiring.
Moral blackmail.
Add to that that commanding tone of a leader.
If it had happened yesterday, most students would have obediently handed it over.
Wang Yang felt inexplicably uneasy as he was being stared at by Deputy Director Liu.
That was a deep-seated fear of teachers and authority.
"Deputy Director Liu..."
Wang Yang shrank his neck and subconsciously reached out to hand over the axe in his hand.
"That's right, the teacher will remember your contribution."
Deputy Director Liu smiled with satisfaction and reached out to take it.
Suddenly, a hand darted in and grabbed Wang Yang's wrist.
It remained completely still, like an iron clamp.
"Jiang...Jiang Ming?"
Wang Yang was stunned, staring at Jiang Ming who was holding him down.
Jiang Ming didn't look at Wang Yang, but calmly looked at the hand that Deputy Director Liu was holding out in mid-air.
"Old Wang, have you lost your mind?"
Jiang Ming's voice wasn't loud, but it was like a bucket of ice water poured directly over Wang Yang's head.
"You'd give it to him just because he wants it?"
Wang Yang was startled.
Yes.
On what grounds?
This axe was given to him by Jiang Ming after he killed a monster. Why should this nobody deputy director just take it away with a few words?
Wang Yang abruptly pulled his hand back.
He gripped the axe tightly in his hand, took a step back, and lowered his head, not daring to look at Deputy Director Liu.
Deputy Director Liu's hand froze in mid-air.
The smile froze on his face, slowly turning gloomy.
"What do you mean by that, student?"
Deputy Director Liu pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his tone becoming stern.
"These are extraordinary times, and all resources must be subject to unified allocation! Your individualistic, selfish behavior is harming everyone!"
Several middle-aged teachers behind him echoed his sentiments.
"That's right, students should listen to their teachers."
"You're not young anymore, how can you still be so immature?"
"That's a weapon. It's too dangerous for a student to have it. What if someone gets hurt?"
Several heavy accusations were slammed down on people, making it hard to breathe.
Jiang Ming smiled.
He laughed out of anger.
What era are we in? Why are you still putting on this bureaucratic airs?
"Unified allocation?"
Jiang Ming stepped forward, the tip of his black iron longsword dangling from the ground, making a grating scraping sound.
"Where were you when the monster stormed into the dormitory?"
Where were you when the students were attacked?
"Now that all the monsters are dead and the equipment has dropped, are you guys running out here to distribute it all?"
Jiang Ming took a step forward with each question he asked.
The lingering aura of bloodlust from the monster's demise forced Deputy Director Liu to retreat repeatedly.
"What...what do you want to do? You're not going to hit the teacher, are you?!"
Deputy Director Liu roared, his voice trembling with fear, as if he could barely hold the mop handle.
"Would I hit you?"
Jiang Ming stopped and chuckled.
"Don't take yourself too seriously. In today's world, there are only the living and the dead, not teachers and students."
Want some equipment? Sure.
Jiang Ming pointed to the dark woods outside the school gate.
"There are plenty of monsters and beasts outside. Go kill them yourself and loot them yourself."
"Trying to snatch it from me?"
Jiang Ming raised the long sword in his hand, and the blade reflected a cold light under the illumination of the cell phone flashlight.
"You can give it a try."
The entire room fell silent.
Deputy Director Liu's face turned a deep purplish-red, and he trembled with anger, pointing at Jiang Ming for a long time without being able to speak.
Inverted!
This is completely outrageous!
Which student would have dared to speak to him like that before?
A demerit will be recorded immediately!
"You... what's your name! Which class are you in! I'm going to give you a warning! I'm going to..."
Save your breath.
Li Bin adjusted his glasses and stood next to Jiang Ming.
"The entire school has been transported to this godforsaken place. What's the point of you reporting it? Are you going to prevent us from finding jobs and force us to hunt wild beasts and kill monsters outside of school?"
"that is!"
Zhong Chengyu and his two roommates also came over, tapping their baseball bats against their palms intermittently.
"I only got this much experience after taking a hit from that monster, and you guys think you can just freeload off the weapons my brother Jiang dropped? Dream on!"
Even Wang Yang, who had been somewhat timid just moments before, was now encouraged.
He remembered what Jiang Ming had just said.
The axe is his now.
Nobody can take it away!
Wang Yang took a deep breath, raised his axe, and glared at the teachers: "Get lost! If you dare utter another word, I'll chop you all up!"
This roar completely shattered Deputy Director Liu's last shred of dignity.
Looking at the murderous students in front of him, he finally realized that the world had changed.
His methods won't work here.
"Okay...okay...you just wait!"
Deputy Director Liu gritted his teeth, uttered a harsh but utterly ineffective remark, and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute."
A cool, clear female voice rang out.
Xu Shishi, clutching her newly bandaged arm, walked over with Su Xiaoxiao and several other girls.
She looked at Deputy Director Liu with disdain on her face.
"Deputy Director Liu, when you came out just now, I saw with my own eyes you pushing Teacher Lin out of the faculty dormitory to attract the monster's attention, while you and a bunch of grown men ran back."
"Teacher Lin is still lying there, her fate unknown."
"You, a person like you, dare to use weapons to protect students?"
This statement was like a bombshell, exploding in the crowd.
The girls who had been watching from the second floor and surrounding areas suddenly changed their gaze towards Deputy Director Liu.
From awe, it turned into anger and disgust.
"Scumbag!"
"Rubbish!"
"What kind of trash is this?!"
"That's shameless!"
"How could someone like that become a deputy director?"
"Tell him to get lost!"
The sentiment is exciting.
Deputy Director Liu's face turned deathly pale instantly.
He never expected that someone would have seen what had just happened.
"You...you're making false accusations! It was an accident! It was an accident!"
He tried to explain himself frantically, but no one present believed him.
