Genius Translator
"Being late is a ground for disqualification." Xie Jun's voice resounded inside the arena when he saw Lyca walk inside, her steps unhurried as she put her hand behind her back. It was as if she was taking a stroll to appreciate the flowers instead of having a challenge. This immediately made Xie Jun feel insulted.
"Article Five of the rules under the handbook that was written and approved by the student council states that disqualifications can only happen if the other party was late by a margin of more than thirty minutes." Shen Qui immediately answered him. "We were only late for ten minutes."
Xie Jun's face immediately turned scarlet. Shen Qui had emphasized that the rules were approved and created by the student council themself. As a member of the student council, Xie Jun was already aware of that! This man was indeed looking for death.
Lyca on the other hand didn't even look at him. She walked towards the stage and asked Shen Qui to bring her portable chair near the desk that was provided by the school. She then sat and looked at Xie Jun. "Ready?"
Xie Jun squinted his eyes. "I have something to ask. If something happens to me, what will you do?"
"Naturally, I pay and leave."
Pay? What the hell does that mean? Seeing Xie Jun's confused look, Shen Qui who stood next to Lyca translated. "She said, she will pay the school. And will leave after the school decides to expel her."
"I was asking about death!" Idiot! He wanted to curse. However, he chose to keep his cool. "What if I die from this poison?" If he knew that Lyca would challenge him first, he wouldn't have agreed to create this point system this year just to get rid of a few people! It wasn't worth it at all!
However, wasn't it a little too late to regret now?
"Then we bury you."
Lyca's answer made him speechless. Of course, Shen Qui immediately added to her words.
"She meant, she will attend your funeral and throw some white flowers to send your soul to see King Yama."
Xie Jun's face turned darker. These two… Are they planning to kill him from anger?
"Don't die." Lyca said.
"She meant… don't die because she will challenge you again." Like the genius translator that he is, Shen Qui immediately added a bit of his thoughts here and there. Surely, Lyca wouldn't mind, right? Inwardly, Shen Qui was already laughing his heart out. Who would have thought that pissing rich people off would feel this good?
"Brat! Do you know who I am?" Xie Jun raised his voice, he glared at Shen Qui, his eyes showed so much anger it could make anyone shiver in fright. Anyone… except Shen Qui and Lyca. The two only looked at him without showing any expression on their faces. Seeing this, Xie Jun narrowed his eyes at this Shen Qui.
According to the information that he got, Shen Qui did not have family. His uncle died a few months ago. That should be the reason why this man was extremely fearless! He was not afraid that Xie Jun would slaughter his family because he had none! He sneered inwardly. He would make sure that this guy suffers soon!
Again, the man wearing a black suit with white gloves walked to the middle and started explaining the rules. However, this time, he included that since these are dangerous chemicals, they specifically created some more punishments in case the poison would harmed anyone.
"You will give us the components of the poison before someone can drink it. These poisons should not harm any students. Punishment would include permanent banishment from the school. Not just you but the whole Huang Family. You will also agree to leave the Huang Family and will change your last name. You will agree to leave Xu Country and never to appear here again. You will spend three months with the Family that you offended. Naturally, they can do whatever they want to punish you. But we can assure that you will not be killed. After three months, they will let you go and you can leave the country."
"Those rules are too harsh!�� Shen Qui immediately said.
"This is only fair, considering Miss Huang's capability to harm anyone here. She could challenge anyone and kill them." The man answered sternly. "Here is the contract, both of you need to sign this. I will act as the witness."
"That—"
"Qui'er." Lyca held her hand and accepted the contract. Then she read it carefully before signing it. She was expecting them to create some absurd punishment like this. "Next time. Bring tea." Lyca muttered after she handed the paper to the man so Xie Jun could sign it.
"Remember what would happen if you harm me!" Xie Jun snorted. Long Yi was indeed a genius. He immediately thought of a way to counter Lyca's crazy actions. It seems that the future of the Long Family would be very prosperous after Long Yi becomes the next head! He glanced at Lyca, a smug smile apparent on his face.
However, Lyca only propped her chin unto her palms as she signaled Shen Qui to bring the bag and put it on the desk. Then she motioned him to give the paper that contains the ingredients of this particular solvent so the school chemist could examine it. After making sure that the solvent did not contain any deadly components, the Chemist immediately told the man to proceed.
Seeing the Chemist that Xie Jun specifically hired to examine the ingredients gave him a nod of approval, Xie Jun let out a sigh of relief.
"The challenge is simple. Young Master Xie needs to drink the compound created by Miss Huang and ensure that he stays awake and alert for the next five minutes. In case he faints within the span of five minutes, he will lose." The man continued. "Drink!" He immediately gave the signal. Hearing this, Lyca's eyes turned alert. The potency of this poison was a little lower than her stash of chemicals simply because she wanted to make it look like she won because of luck. Once that happens, Lyca was planning to increase the prize, enticing people to try out her solvent.
This would give her plenty of opportunity to adjust the potency and check which solvent would show the best result!
