Discipline the Little Witch

Xiao Wu felt the warmth coming from her palm, and her eyes narrowed with a smile, "Yeah."

Dean Flanders approached and glanced at everyone, his gaze finally resting on Huo Yuhao with a meaningful look.

"..."

Huo Yuhao sighed, thinking that he was going to be the first to be selected.

Sure enough, Flanders' voice rang out, "Are you Huo Yuhao? The one who challenged Zhao Wuji yesterday?"

Huo Yuhao took a step forward.

"Yes, Dean."

"A duel with Teacher Zhao!?"

Oscar and Ma Hongjun on the side immediately turned their heads and looked at the handsome young man in astonishment. It was hard to imagine that this guy was someone who was reckless enough to challenge Teacher Zhao. Seeing the two's reactions, Dai Mubai sighed slightly.

'If they knew that Teacher Zhao even activated his martial soul's true form at the end of the fight, they would probably faint from fear.'

Ma Hongjun's focus was more on that handsome face.

He murmured sadly, "Another handsome face. Isn't it enough to have Boss Dai and Oscar? Oh my God! When can I have a handsome face like this?"

When Flanders heard the fat man complaining about the unfairness of fate, he rolled his eyes, ignored it, and continued to look at Huo Yuhao.

"Yes, I heard from Zhao Wuji yesterday that he thinks highly of you. You should step out."

Huo Yuhao pursed his lips, turned his head slightly, and saw three veteran students giving him a look that told him to fend for himself. With a wry smile, he walked to Flanders side, saluted and stood still.

Flanders nodded, but didn't finish, and continued to shout, "Oscar, Ning Rongrong, step out."

"???" The two people who were called were a little stunned.

Ning Rongrong was fine. After a moment of surprise, she came and stood next to Huo Yuhao. Oscar's face fell and he walked to Ning Rongrong dejectedly.

Flanders looked at the rest of the group and waved his hand, "Three of them stay to train, the others go rest and prepare for class tonight."

"Wait, Dean, can I join you in training with Huo Yuhao and the other two?"

A cold voice sounded, and Flanders looked up in surprise, looking at Zhu Zhuqing who spoke.

"Why?"

"Because I want to become stronger, as strong as Huo Yuhao."

Zhu Zhuqing also raised her head slightly and met Flanders' eyes. Unlike the shyness she showed when she looked into Huo Yuhao's eyes, this time her eyes revealed determination. Even Huo Yuhao was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai had such different mentalities. One was decadent and licentious, while the other was so eager for power.

"Yuhao, what do you think?"

Flanders did not reply, but looked at Huo Yuhao and asked for his opinion.

"Dean, I think this is a good thing." Huo Yuhao answered without any hesitation.

"Okay, since Yuhao agrees, then I will allow you to join."

Flanders looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a smile, "But there will be punishment for violating my orders. You must also attend the evening classes."

"Yes."

"Dean, I want to join too!"

The one who spoke was Xiao Wu. She came skipping and shouting to Flanders.

"Okay, who else wants to join?" Flanders accepted and looked at the remaining three people.

Tang San glanced at the crowd without saying a word. He stepped forward and joined them. Dai Mubai looked at the crowd, feeling a little hesitant.

Then he remembered what Huo Yuhao had asked the twins to convey to him, and the fire in his heart ignited again, "Isn't it just about working hard? Go for it!"

Ma Hongjun beside him was stunned and said, "Boss Dai, you too..."

There were already seven people standing next to Flanders, and they all looked at Ma Hongjun silently.

"I'll join in, too."

Ma Hongjun sighed, feeling a sense of pain as he was forced to work hard. A hint of surprise flashed in Flanders' eyes, and he turned his head to look at Zhu Zhuqing. He really didn't expect that the enthusiasm of a team would be boosted by one person. 

Huo Yuhao smiled as he nodded to Zhu Zhuqing. He looked around at everyone and saw the original Shrek Seven Devils who had become famous in his previous life.

"Okay, in that case, let's start training. From now on, everyone will run 20 laps around the village. You can use soul skills and the like to assist. Yuhao, you are their role model. You will run 40 laps. You are not allowed to use soul power midway. You must also supervise them to complete it."

Flanders looked at Huo Yuhao with a smile, his intention was obvious - since someone has targeted you, you naturally have to respond by showing your strength.

"Yes."

Huo Yuhao sighed. In his previous life, he was the last one in the class when he first entered school. He had to work hard to keep up with the class. He didn't expect that he would become the leader now. In this way, everyone began their long journey.

"Twenty laps! It seems I won't be able to have lunch today." Ma Hongjun wailed with a sad face.

"Why? I see the village isn't that big?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.

Oscar started to explain, "The dean's description of going around the village includes the farmland."

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned, and an apologetic look suddenly appeared on her face. "I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have..."

"This is our own choice. It has nothing to do with you. Becoming stronger is everyone's own choice."

Tang San shook his head. Since he had chosen to train, he would not regret it.

"It's okay. If you guys can't run anymore, you can eat my sausages. I'll make sure you're filled up." Oscar laughed.

"..."

....

First lap.

Second lap.

"The course is too long."

Xiao Wu complained as she felt exhausted after only two laps, and everyone began to pant. At this time, the difference in physical fitness was reflected. Oscar and Ning Rongrong had beads of sweat on their heads, while Dai Mubai, who had the second highest soul power, was only breathing slightly.

Looking ahead, Huo Yuhao was still running lightly, leading everyone at a steady pace.

"Um?"

Huo Yuhao noticed that the people behind him seemed a little discouraged, and he knew that this was not a solution, so he slowly slowed down and came to the side of the group.

"You need to change your running posture. Ning Rongrong, land on the soles of your feet, don't use your heels. Oscar, raise your arms. Everyone, follow me and change your breathing rhythm."

Instructions were passed to everyone.

"Wow, it really works. I don't feel so tired all of a sudden!" Xiao Wu's eyes lit up.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes sparkled, and she tilted her head slightly to look at the figure who was running and guiding them, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

Not noticing their expressions, he encouraged everyone as he ran, "Everyone, hold on. Physical strength is also a very important quality for a soul master."

When everyone finished the third lap, an incident occurred.

"Ning Rongrong? What are you doing? You can't stop running."

Huo Yuhao frowned as he looked at Ning Rongrong who had stopped. Ning Rongrong ignored him and walked straight towards Suotuo City.

"You guys continue, I'll go see what's wrong with Ning Rongrong." Huo Yuhao instructed everyone and turned around to chase Ning Rongrong.

"Ning Rongrong, what's wrong? It's only the third lap. Are you feeling unwell?" Huo Yuhao asked softly after catching up.

Ning Rongrong smiled, "Forget about running, Yuhao, let's go for a walk in the city. It doesn't matter whether we run or not."

Huo Yuhao was stunned and looked at Ning Rongrong deeply, his eyes turning a little colder.

"Come back with me. This is an order. If you don't want to run, you should have refused from the very beginning. No one will force you. But since you accepted, you should do well instead of giving up halfway."

He originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but as he said, Flanders gave him the task, and he didn't refuse at the beginning, so he should do it well.

This is the most basic quality.

What he needs to do now is to supervise the other party to complete all the laps without missing a single one.

"Please recognize your place. Don't think that you can control me just because you look good and have a higher soul power level. You are just a student. Even if you are good at fighting, so what? If you want to get involved, you need a background!"

After being lectured by Huo Yuhao, Ning Rongrong became a little angry. Her attitude towards Huo Yuhao suddenly changed for the worse and she spoke sarcastically.

"Yes, I'm just a student, but your current identity is also just a student. If you leave the academy, you can be your clan's princess, but now, come back with me."

"What if I don't?"

"Then I will force you until you agree. You have seen my strength."

Ning Rongrong's face froze, and then she yelled angrily.

"I am from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan! No one has ever dared to hit me before. If you have the guts, just try it!" After saying that, she continued to walk towards Suotuo City.

She had only taken two steps when her butt was suddenly hit hard, and she lost her balance and fell to the ground. Her white dress was instantly covered with dust.

"!?"

Ning Rongrong was stunned on the spot. He really dared to do it? Doesn't he know my status in the clan? Although it didn't hurt, the feeling of humiliation instantly surged into her heart and tears welled up in her eyes. Before Ning Rongrong could get up, Huo Yuhao's voice rang out again.

"I don't know how much the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan dotes on you, and I don't want to know. I only know that you are complacent about your talent and proud of your background."

"But so what? What is there to be proud of other than that? Are you proud of being the lowest level in terms of soul power among the students here? Which of us here is not gifted?"

"I'm telling you one last time. Come back with me. After the training is over, you can complain to your family or to the dean. It's ultimately up to you to decide."

"Anyway, I won't care about you after this. The dean only asked me to supervise you this one time."

"If you don't go back, it won't be just a gentle kick."

Ning Rongrong slowly got up. When she heard Huo Yuhao's cold words, she trembled all over. She threatened in a trembling voice, "Just wait for me."

Then she lowered her head, walked past Huo Yuhao, and ran towards the team.

"I'll be waiting."

...

"…How cruel."

Flanders, who was standing not far away, sighed. He doesn't even dare to repremend her, but Huo Yuhao actually dared to do it. Seeing Ning Rongrong returning to the team covered in dust and with a footprint on her butt, everyone tacitly did not ask any questions.

Huo Yuhao then returned to the team and said, "Everyone continue, follow my breathing rhythm."

Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth. Although she was very resistant, her oxygen-deprived brain subconsciously followed Huo Yuhao's breathing rhythm, becoming much easier. She couldn't help but stare at the back of the person in the lead, muttering to herself, "Bad guy."

Before they knew it, it was already noon. They had only run halfway and were not only exhausted, but their stomachs were growling with hunger.

At this time, Huo Yuhao's voice sounded again, "Oscar, share your sausages with everyone."

"Yuhao, what about you?" Oscar looked up at Huo Yuhao and handed the sausage in his hand to him.

Huo Yuhao shook his head. "I don't need it. I need to follow the dean's order."

Ning Rongrong, who was chewing the sausage as if it were Huo Yuhao, was stunned as Huo Yuhao's words echoed in her ears.

'You should do well instead of giving up halfway'

She shook her head violently and snorted coldly, "It's just what I want, I hope you tired to death!"

Finally, by the fifteenth lap, everyone was sweating all over, and the afternoon sun was very hot, shining on their bodies. Huo Yuhao looked at the people behind him. Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were already staggering, and Oscar seemed to be almost at his limit.

Huo Yuhao sighed softly, and a green light appeared on his chest. Everyone immediately felt a lot cooler, and the wind in their faces became colder.

"It's Yuhao," Tang San said with a complicated look.

Finally, in the evening, everyone finished the run and arrived at the playground, and Flanders was already standing there with his hands behind his back, waiting for them to arrive.

Looking at the people who were breathing heavily, he nodded and said with a smile, "I am very happy that only one of you did not complete the training and ignored my order."

Everyone focused their attention on Huo Yuhao. His task was to run forty laps, but he ran with them to adjust their pace. After fifteen laps, he even used his soul power to help them cool down. It can be said that he disobeyed every order.

"Huo Yuhao, do you have anything to say?"

"No, Dean, it's my fault that I didn't complete the task." Huo Yuhao stopped the people who were about to defend him.

"Then, do you have any objection on arranging your punishment?"

"No."

Flanders nodded with satisfaction and looked around at everyone.

"From the looks of it, you won't be able to attend the evening classes. So, Huo Yuhao's punishment will replace your lesson. Now, everyone, follow me to watch Huo Yuhao being punished."

Then, as if he had thought of something, he said to Huo Yuhao with a smile, "Oh, in addition to the punishment, you have to complete the remaining laps."

"...yes."
