Chapter 324 – Badminton Battle
The birdie I smashed with all my strength hit Xiao Qin on her stomach.
It was impossible she wasn’t able to either avoid or catch the birdie with her martial arts background. The only possibility was that she was only concerned with keeping the running shoes clean and she completely ignored the birdie.
She had a pained expression when she was hit.
I felt like it was karma. Do you think I would forget your past brutal nature simply because you pretend to be fragile? Keep dreaming, I’ll rather be friends with the straightforward Little Tyrant than someone like you who’s always full of false pretenses!
In order to not make me wait, Xiao Qin picked up the birdie and hit it back to me weakly.
Did you not eat breakfast? Even Little Smart was able to hit it further than you! You’re clearly a fierce tiger, yet you pretend to be a feeble kitten. I detest fake people and I’m definitely going to make you show off your true strength in this game!
Thus I sent another smash to force Xiao Qin to move. It would be good if her shoes get dirty, but I also want her to counterattack.
Come, show off the Little Tyrant’s true powers. Let’s determine the victor with a game of badminton!
I never expected she would surrender herself and remain in place. She pretended she couldn’t see the high speed birdie and was struck again in the stomach. It hurt to the point where she dropped her racket, then she clutched her stomach and squatted down.
It should be fake since when we fought as kids, she wouldn’t even budge when I repeatedly hit her stomach. It was to the point where I had doubts hard Qigong was a technique passed down from her ancestors. So, there’s no way a birdie will be able to injure you.
Xiao Qin would always only make weak hits. If I also hit it back gently, she would be pleased and play a few rounds with me as if we were a young couple.
Stop kidding me, who’s a couple! A Spartan’s badminton game should feel spartan! Shouldn’t I be yelling ‘Bankai‘ while you yell ‘Kaio-ken‘ and we’ll have a battle that shakes 28 Middle down to its core?!
Every time I have these thoughts, I would smash the birdie as hard as I could. Then, Xiao Qin would immediately give up and use her arms, legs, or chest, as a cushion to receive the birdie.
I can’t believe she didn’t have a single speck of mud on her shoes even though there were three puddles between the two of us. I just don’t believe you would be able to beat me in terms of persistence.
Thus I sent another smash at Xiao Qin’s stomach, but this time I heard a dissatisfied female voice:
“Ye Lin, do you find it fun bullying Xiao Qin?”
The class leader had just finished volleyball practice. She was wearing a skin-tight sports uniform with a towel over her shoulder, and she was currently looking at me with an overbearing gaze.
Don’t interrupt a Spartan game! Be careful to not get swept away by our strong fighting spirits!
The class leader went to support Xiao Qin.
“Xiao Qin has a weak body, so why are you forcing her to play badminton. Does it feel good bullying a weaker person?”
Who are you calling weak? Did you already forget the time when Xiao Qin pressed you down on the sofa and forced you to show your breasts? If the Little Tyrant was a boy, you would have been raped. You’re the weak one here, I can’t believe you were easily tricked by Xiao Qin’s acts.
The class leader led Xiao Qin to the side, while she picked up the racket and said to me:
“If you like badminton that much, I’ll be your opponent.”
Eh, I don’t really want to play with you. Why do you keep trying to get involved?
The class leader was about to serve when she noticed there were three puddles near her.
“So, not only did you want to bully her, you also made her stand in a terrible spot. Ye Lin, it seems like you’re rotten to the core!”
You’re not allowed to call me bad! Aren’t you wearing the new shoes you bought on Sunday? Although I can’t be considered a good person by giving you shoes through Shu Zhe, but at least don’t call me rotten!
I explained: “I told Xiao Qin to stand near the puddles… for her own good. It was to bring out her potential in the face of adversity!”
“Is that right?” The class leader looked at me mischievously, “If that’s the case, let’s change spots and you can come ‘show off your potential’.”
“Uh….”
I couldn’t really say anything, so I could only change spots.
The class leader stood on the dry and even ground and took a deep breath. The birdie was tossed high up in the air, then it sped towards me like lightning.
The first thing she aimed at was my left foot. These shots are hard to hit back for right handed people. And I could only barely make out the birdie with how fast it’s going.
But there’s no a way a seven foot man like me can’t hit back a girl’s serve.
I shouted and took a small step to reach the spot where the birdie would land. I did everything I could and was able to hit it back.
Hahaha, I’m not easy to deal with. Even if you’re an expert, I….
Ah, what’s stuck on my shorts and shoes! Isn’t it mud? If I try to recollect what happened, didn’t I step into a puddle just to reach the birdie?
Ah, I fell into my own trap. I might even have some mud on my face, Xiao Qin, come and help me wipe it.
The class leader smashed the birdie back without giving me a chance to rest. Her jet-black hair rose into the air and was filled with a youthful energy.
It looks like you’re pretty handy since you even used the towel to wrap around the handles for more grip. Why did you have to hit it towards a puddle again!
The class leader couldn’t help but laugh when she saw my sorry figure as I dived into puddles to desperately return the birdie.
What are you laughing at? Does a Justice Devil like you even have bad intentions or do you consider this as proper punishment for me?
“Class leader.” Xiao Qin finally spoke, “Ye Lin classmate isn’t your opponent, so please stop bullying him.”
How am I not her opponent? Who says she even has the ability to bully me? Let’s play for three hundred more rounds, I don’t think you have more stamina than me. Once all your limbs are sore, I’ll be able to use my amazing techniques to defeat you!
Xiong YaoYue passed by holding a volleyball in each hand. When she saw the class leader’s lively figure and my sorry figure, she laughed and said:
“Class leader, stop teasing Ye Lin, she’s already taken.”
“Who…. who’s teasing him.” The class leader blushed and wasn’t able to return the birdie I hit to her.
“Oh yeah!” I jumped in the air for joy as I was able to score against the class leader for the first time. Then, I accidentally landed in the largest puddle.
My appearance looks as if I just finished a survival game.
By the way, why did Xiong YaoYue say ‘she was taken’! Even if Xiao Qin was my girlfriend, I’m a guy! Or did you say ‘she’ because I’m a homosexual!
The class leader also seemed to object to Xiong YaoYue:
“The school prohibits early relationships, but you say Ye Lin’s already taken…”
Xiong YaoYue replied carelessly: “Oh, you want to know who he’s taken by, it looks like you’re pretty nosy… hm..hm.. well it’s that person…”
She unintentionally swept her gaze across the field, which meant my gay partner was in the school, but I had no idea who she was referring to.
The class leader misunderstood that Xiong YaoYue was looking at Xiao Qin. When Xiao Qin saw the class leader looking at her, she straightened her back hoping everyone would realize that she was my girlfriend.
I’m not sure why but the class leader lost all interest in badminton. She returned the racket to me and went with Xiong YaoYue to return the volleyballs.
Since I was standing down wind, I could slightly hear their conversation.
The class leader said: “I don’t know who you heard it from, but Xiao Qin definitely doesn’t have normal feelings for Ye Lin.”
Eh, is the class leader referring to how Xiao Qin caused my little brother to get lost, so she feels guilty and wants to repay me with marriage?
While it’s true that she feels guilty and wants to marry me, but I never had a little brother! That’s just something Xiao Qin made up on the spot! The class leader still believes it because she saw my cute shota pictures, plus the lies Xiao Qin made up with the plots she read in manga!
