Shamelessness is a survival skill

The moment Allen enter the principal office, the 8 beaten students subconsciously flinch.

" It's him, Mother ! He's the one who beat us ! " Rico, the wannabe gangster said while crying to mother.

Allen look toward the other 8 and he began to become ' nervous '.

" Wha--waht do you mean by that ? I -- I beat you up ??? I- I don't know how to fight and...and your completely too many for me, your saying that I beat you ? " Allen said ' nervously '.

' This Princess are very disappointed in you. Your an immortal and your scared to them ? You can kill them like a fly ! Your tarnishing the reputation of an immortal cultivator. ' Jasmine's voice sounded inside his head the moment Allen become ' nervous '.

' Tsk...tsk...your too naive Jasmine...did you know what is the most important thing to survive in the cruel world of cultivation ? ' he replied to her.

Jasmine began to think, then she answer. ' Isn't it power ? As long as you have power, you can do anything you want, and no one can stop you. '

' You still have to eat many rice, Jasmine. ' he said disappointedly.

' Then what is it ? This Princess is sure that it's power. ' she said.

' It's shamelessness...Lin Fan, Xu Que and even Yun Che, and many more, all of them are shameless protagonist. They reach high realm because of their shamelessness. That's why I'm training my shamelessness, because I'm sure that there will be a quest in cultivation world, sooner or later. ' he said.

' ... ' Jasmine doesn't know how to react by that.

' And besides, I'm also training my emotions because of the Limitless skill that I bought. It said that cursed energy comes from human emotions, if I properly control my emotions, I guess manipulating my cursed energy would be easy for me. ' Allen said inside his head.

' Humph, I thought that you are now getting coward by a mere mortal. Then this Princess won't look down on you. ' Jasmine replied.

Allen didn't reply to her anymore as he look toward their parents with pleading gaze.

" If--if you accused me... without any evidence...it's not fair for me...my family is just poor. " he said making all the other present inside the office feel guilty.

" Rico, are you sure that he is the one who beat you ? " Rico's mother said to her son.

" I'm sure if it, Ma " Rico pointed Allen.

" Okay, let me ask you a question. If what your saying is true...then what are you doing in the first place in the restaurant, kilometers away from school. " the principal ask seriously.

" This--we are eating lunch..." he said nervously.

" Is that true ? " the principal ask Allen, but Christine rebutted.

" He's right principal, but he was also harrasing me and they are even smoking inside the restaurant. " Christine said.

The teachers and parents widen their eyes when she heard her.

They look toward the beaten students who began to shake.

" Who are you miss ? " the principal ask gently.

" I'm the daughter of the owner of the restaurant. " she answer.

" Then, how many times did you see that they are smoking ? " he ask.

" Almost everyday together with his friends. " she said.

* slap *

A loud slapping sound echo in every corner of the principal office.

" You !!! Your father and I are working everyday so that we could pay for your tuition, and now, this is how you pay for our hardwork ? I will tell this to your Dad, prepare yourself in our house. I will also confiscate your motorbike. " Rico's mother angrily said to her son, his friends are also not better because they are also getting sermon by their own parents.

" I'm sorry about this, boy. And you to, Mr. Principal for the problem that my son cause. " the mother apologize to Allen.

" It's okay, no harms done, Auntie. " Allen heavy sigh in relief.

" Me too, I apologize for interrupting your time. " the principal said.

" Don't worry about it, Mr. Principal. It was good that the problem have been clarified. " Teacher Domingo said. " Then please excuse us. "

The principal nodded. Allen, Christine and Teacher Domingo exited the office.

" I think that both of you should go home, instead of going in class. " Teacher Domingo advise.

" Thank you, sir " Allen said and Christine also bow a little.

" Do you want me to give you a ride to your house ? " Teacher Domingo suggested.

" My house are very far from here, I will take jepneey. " Allen shake his head.

" My house are near here, I can take tricycle. " Christine said.

" Then I'm going now. " Teacher Domingo then drive his car, and go back to school.

Seeing that the car is gone, Christine look toward the calm Allen and said. " Your such a great actor, aren't you ? "

" Yeah, even I didn't know that I have a talent " he said to her.

Christine squinted her eyes and look to his eyes. " Tell me honestly, are you the one who beat them up ? "

" Yeah, I'm the one who beat them. Like this -- and that --- " Allen did a few kick in the air and some shadow boxing.

" Pfft... Yeah, then please accept me as your disciple

" Catherine clasp her hands and lower her head.

" Hmm...You have watch too many K-drama. This is not a movie, and I'm just joking. " Allen said.

" Party pooper. " she said.

" Well I'm going now. Your suitor might ambush me on the road...I better to hurry. " Allen said to her as he headed toward the Jeepney Station.

" He's only a ' suitor '. Then me too, goodbye. " Christine flinch when she heard the word ' suitor ', she look to Allen until he was gone.
