11: Summoner and Justice

A moment ago.

"I know about your family's situation. Your classmates sometimes joke with you, but don't take it seriously."

"Acknowledging a big brother in society, bringing Hoodlums to school."

"Do you still look like a student?"

"Your father died early, your mother has a mental illness, and your older brother and younger sister are the same."

"Classmates and teachers all know your family isn't easy."

"You also need to be self-reliant, not degenerate, and not become sworn brothers with idle people in society."

Xu Zihang's face turned red with anxiety, eager to explain.

"No, it's not, I didn't..."

"Tsk."

"Alright, then tell me who bullied you. Give me their names and classes."

"No, no."

Xu Zihang quickly shook his head.

It was unclear whether, in his eyes, he was afraid of being beaten and dared not speak, or if he didn't recognize that he was being bullied.

After all, he, his mother, older brother, and younger sister all had intellectual disabilities.

And his father had died early, so even if he was bullied and told his family.

No one would be able to understand.

"Then go back. In the future, have less to do with people from society."

"What baseless bullying? If word gets out, where will our school's reputation, and my reputation, go?"

"Hmm..."

"..."

"The intellectually disabled one is back."

"The intellectually disabled one even acknowledged a big brother and got involved in society, so that means, an intellectually disabled Hoodlum."

Xu Zihang struggled to comprehend the malicious insults and curses.

But as the punches and kicks landed, he still realized that this seemed to be bullying him.

So, that's what bullying means?

But everyone was a classmate, weren't classmates friends? Why was it called bullying?

His brain couldn't figure these things out.

Until the necklace his mother and father had bought for him together, which was in his backpack, was pulled out.

Then, amidst the students' horseplay—since the teacher called these actions of the classmates towards him horseplay.

So, they playfully threw Xu Zihang's necklace out of the building.

As punishment for Xu Zihang complaining to the teacher this time.

They knew this necklace was Xu Zihang's important "treasure", so this kind of punishment would make him remember.

But Xu Zihang jumping down with the necklace was something these playful students hadn't expected.

...

"It hurts so much! It hurts so much!"

Xu Zihang was spitting blood, crying, and shouting in pain.

He knew pain.

Being hit hurt, being kicked hurt, being burned by a lighter hurt, being pricked by a needle hurt, having his hair pulled hurt...

Being called intellectually disabled, hurt.

Cheng Yang quickly dialed 120.

Xu Zihang's homeroom teacher also rushed down in a panic, but he first called the principal.

"Yes, still alive!"

"Consciousness is still, clear, yes, very clear!"

"No one is allowed to take photos! Where's security? Quickly put up the curtain, don't let anyone photograph!"

"You, why are you, this Hoodlum, still here!"

"Get out!"

"No, is it you? Is it you who made him jump? Is it..."

Bang!

Cheng Yang himself couldn't have imagined how much force he put into the punch he threw just now.

However, the crisp sensation from the punch allowed him to estimate.

The scumbag who flew out probably had a fractured facial bone.

The beautiful punch stunned the onlookers, both students and teachers.

"You're finished!"

"You're finished!!!"

"Threats have no effect on me."

Cheng Yang rubbed his fist, straddled the man on the ground, and raised a fist.

"But I can make you finished first."

...

Xu Zihang was taken to the hospital by ambulance for emergency treatment.

And Cheng Yang, meanwhile, was arrested by the police car.

A person from society entered the school and beat an excellent teacher unconscious.

At the same time, he was also a suspect in the student jumping incident.

Cheng Yang knew the consequences of his actions, but he didn't regret it at all.

Such an impulsive self, perhaps...

Was not a qualified armor Summoner.

Cheng Yang felt a bit dejected thinking about this. He had originally thought that being chosen by the Summoner meant he was somewhat unique.

Now it seemed he might not be worthy of the Summoner at all.

Lin Ti was also paying attention to the commotion outside at this time.

He was the Summoner that had been observing the development of this matter from beginning to end.

So, as for whether he approved of Cheng Yang.

This Summoner, he would give him 100 points.

Although he was a bit impulsive, as an armor Summoner who fights monsters.

How could he not have any spirit!

Without spirit, how could he fight monsters!

This guy, he's practically full of shining points!

The only dissatisfaction was probably that Cheng Yang fought too conservatively.

He didn't take the opportunity to hang up and beat those little brats in the class.

As for the police.

What a joke, which superhero hasn't been arrested by the police?

This is practically a superhero's resume!

Cough cough, just kidding.

Cheng Yang couldn't hear Lin Ti's encouragement.

But he could, in a mysterious way, feel the Summoner's message of approval.

It seemed he was still worthy of the Summoner.

Since the Summoner approved of his actions, then it didn't matter.

At worst, he'd just be locked up for a while.

It was just, would the Summoner be found during a search?

If there was no Summoner and a monster appeared outside while he was in jail, what would he do?

Cheng Yang started to worry.

However, as the police found a card in his bag, their expressions clearly changed.

They sized Cheng Yang up and down.

"Are you a member of the Monster Countermeasures Division?"

Although the Monster Countermeasures Division was a civilian organization, it had an official background.

It was a semi-official organization.

In a world with monsters, everything, if it involved monsters.

Then it couldn't be handled casually.

That is, it needed to be reported upwards and follow superior orders.

"That's right."

Cheng Yang decided to disguise his identity.

His identity as an armor Summoner, rounded up, could also be considered part of the Monster Countermeasures Division.

...

So, Cheng Yang was released.

Considered a member awaiting investigation.

In this world, everything prioritizes dealing with monsters. Monster Countermeasures Division members who commit crimes will be dealt with severely.

But before the matter is thoroughly investigated, Monster Countermeasures Division members cannot be detained.

This was also to allow Monster Countermeasures Division members to deal with monsters that might appear at any time.

Cheng Yang, having left the police station, quickly rushed to the hospital, outside the operating room.

He also saw Xu Zihang's family at this time.

An older brother, a younger sister, and a single mother.

All four members of this family had intellectual disabilities.

But even with their intellectual disabilities, they rushed to the hospital as soon as they heard the bad news.

Then anxiously guarded outside the operating room.

Every time the operating room door opened, they eagerly crowded to the doorway.

Anxiously asking questions.

But then, disappointed, they would retreat back to their seats and wait again and again.

"..."

Cheng Yang couldn't help but start to wonder at this moment.

If he hadn't interfered from the beginning, would all of this have happened?

Was his involvement in this matter wrong from the start?

[New monster reaction detected...]

Just as Cheng Yang was doubting himself, the Summoner stirred.

The monster's reaction.

It was this hospital!
