I Obviously Just Want to be a Minor Character CH.29
Chapter 29: Was he being rejected?
The Demon-Hunting Academy’s Missions Office.
This was the place where students usually received and handed in missions.
It was set up like an office, with the staff of the academy handling the students’ mission-related paperwork at the counter. There was also a bulletin board to post mission-related information and news.
Aside from the counter and bulletin board, there were only rows of tables and chairs for the students to use.
Therefore, the Missions Office was usually quite lively. Those about to carry out missions would rest and chat here, while those who had formed teams would hold meetings or celebrations here. As a result, there was always a flow of people coming in and out.
In recent days, this situation had not only not calmed down but had even worsened.
For the Hua Ming District battle in two days, the students clearly had many things to discuss and many preparations to make. Therefore, they needed a place to exchange information and chat, and there was no place more suitable than the Missions Office.
Thus, at dawn, many people had already gathered in the Missions Office, filling up many seats and creating a scene similar to a marketplace.
It was clear that many people were still looking for teammates, and many who had already formed teams were attempting to further adjust their team compositions in hopes of making a difference in the upcoming war.
Su Ming, Lei Hao, and Ye Bai also entered the Missions Office after a long time. They found a spot and sat down.
Many people around them noticed Su Ming and his friends, but after taking a look at Su Ming, they turned back to their own business.
“Huh?” Lei Hao lifted an eyebrow and said with a mocking smile, “Looks like these people recognized you.”
After the incident with Xu Qianqian and An Zijin, Su Ming had become well-known.
“It’s too bad I’m not happy at all.” Su Ming pouted. “You two have been hanging out with me all this time and got dragged into this mess. Aren’t You angry?”
This comment earned Ye Bai’s deep agreement.
“Among the people who looked over earlier, there were probably quite a few who haven’t formed a team yet and are looking for one,” Ye Bai said. “Or perhaps they have a team but are looking for more members. For those people, anyone who comes to the Missions Office is a potential recruit. If it weren’t for you, there would definitely be people coming up to us asking to join our group. At the very least, we would have been invited to join other teams.”
As the saying went, kings fought kings, generals fought generals, and soldiers fought soldiers.
Top-level students like Xu Qianqian and other elites had already formed their teams and filled them with top students. As such, those who hadn’t joined a good team had no choice but to lower their standards.
Su Ming and his friends had average grades and average performance in the academy. However, average meant that they weren’t at the bottom of the pack.
A team made up of three average students was still attractive to other average students or even some below-average students.
Normally speaking, people would be coming up to Su Ming’s group to ask to join them.
However, Su Ming’s existence truly showed what it meant for a person to be hated by others.
Xu Qianqian and An Zijin’s contact with Su Ming had indeed made him quite the eye-catching character in the eyes of many.
Especially An Zijin. During this week, she would often go to the boys’ dormitory to find Su Ming, which angered the fans and admirers of this popular girl.
This also caused many people to give up on the idea of forming a team with Su Ming.
It was simple: riajuu must explode.
Even Lei Hao and Ye Bai said so.
“I’ve considered switching teams.”
“But the year-long friendship between us doesn’t allow it.”
The two of them sighed as they spoke these words. If an ignorant person were to see them, they might even be moved by their words.
Only Su Ming could see through the shameless disguises of these two.
“Are you guys not switching teams because of the year-long friendship between us? You’re clearly just craving the bodies of the three girls who are about to join us!”
Su Ming had long seen through these two bastards’ faces.
But they still refused to admit it.
“I’m not! I’m not! Don’t say that!”
As a set of three serious and sincere lines came out of these two animals’ mouths, Su Ming silently prepared to pull out the long and thin elastic steel sword from his backpack.
However, someone appeared in time and saved these two animals’ lives.
“Big Brother Su Ming!”
The moment this melodious call rang out from the Missions Office, the clamour inside the office died down.
An Zijin stood at the entrance to the Missions Office with two other people and waved excitedly at Su Ming.
The girl’s charming face was flushed with excitement as she waved. Her eyes were bright and clear, like a beautiful girl from a manga.
This scene that could make countless animals drool made many people unconsciously cover their chests with their hands, hearts floating in their eyes.
“Ah! My goddess!” Ye Bai called out in a daze, making Su Ming’s hair stand on end.
“Truly worthy of being able to compete with my goddess, the school beauty. She’s so cute. If I wasn’t a die-hard Xu Qianqian fan, I’d probably fall for her too.”
Lei Hao looked like he was still in shock.
An Zijin didn’t pay any attention to the gazes of others. Holding one girl by the hand, she walked toward Su Ming.
“I’m here, Big Brother Su Ming.”
An Zijin happily said to Su Ming and sat down next to him without hesitation. She then naturally wrapped her arm around Su Ming’s arm.
Su Ming felt countless gazes land on him, each carrying a murderous aura.
Su Ming’s eyelid jumped, and he subconsciously wanted to pull his hand back.
But An Zijin didn’t intend to let go. She exerted some force, completely trapping Su Ming’s hand in a soft place.
Su Ming was powerless.
Any man would have been powerless in this situation, right?
That wonderful touch made Su Ming want to yell, Is this the ultimate spiritual technique, the hundredth form? It’s so powerful!
Facing such a terrifying power, Su Ming couldn’t struggle free. That was normal, right?
But when did this girl develop to this extent?
She had been so flat when she was younger, but now she has already developed like this. Girls of this age were truly incredible.
“Ah, Senior Lei Hao, Senior Ye Bai, hello.”
Unaware of Su Ming’s thoughts, An Zijin greeted Lei Hao and Ye Bai sitting across from her.
“Hey, Junior Sister An.”
Lei Hao responded with a casual greeting.
“You guys are so early! Ha ha ha!”
Ye Bai was a little flustered, unable to hide his excitement as he laughed loudly. He looked like a country bumpkin who had never seen a pretty girl before.
An Zijin didn’t mind and only gave everyone a sweet smile.
“Let me introduce you to my two roommates.”
An Zijin introduced the two girls she had just brought over.
“Hello, seniors, I’m Yao Beibei.”
The girl sitting next to An Zijin spoke up first, looking a little reserved.
“Hello, seniors, I’m Jiang Wanyu.”
The girl sitting next to Yao Beibei, who was looking around with her eyes darting everywhere and seemed quite mischievous, also introduced herself.
“H-hello.”
Facing these two first-year students, Lei Hao and Ye Bai both looked a little more restrained than usual.
Su Ming found this funny and couldn’t help but take another look at Yao Beibei and Jiang Wanyu. He hadn’t expected An Zijin’s two roommates to be quite pretty.
Yao Beibei was a girl who wore glasses and looked reserved and quiet, like a very intellectual little sister. However, her body was very explosive, and it was so large that the uniform shirt of the academy was stretched high up, making it seem like the buttons would burst at any moment, which made people involuntarily look at her.
Jiang Wanyu looked like an energetic and lively girl. Her skin was very fair, even fairer than An Zijin and Yao Beibei. Her body wasn’t as explosive as Yao Beibei’s, but she had a pair of long and slender legs that she boldly exposed in the air. Su Ming even had the urge to reach out and touch them.
In terms of looks, these two girls weren’t as stunning as An Zijin, who could kill anyone with a single glance, but they were still standard beauties.
If one could give Xu Qianqian and An Zijin a 99 out of 100 for their beauty, then these two girls were at least a 90.
On top of that, they each had their own advantages in terms of body type. Perhaps in certain crowds, their scores would be even higher than An Zijin’s.
Su Ming hadn’t expected An Zijin to have two roommates like this.
Lei Hao and Ye Bai had also never expected this, so they were caught off guard. They were as bashful as young boys.
Su Ming decided that he would tease these two purehearted young men a little after he returned. He then greeted Yao Beibei and Jiang Wanyu.
“I’m Su Ming, nice to meet you.”
Su Ming’s greeting was quite standard, without anything to nitpick.
However, Yao Beibei and Jiang Wanyu’s gazes toward Su Ming were somewhat unfriendly. Especially Jiang Wanyu, who suddenly spoke up with her hands on her hips.
“You’re the Senior Su Ming who kidnapped our Zijin?”
Jiang Wanyu looked Su Ming up and down as she muttered, “I can’t see anything special about you. Why is Zijin so obsessed with you?”
She was already acting like an old shrew.
Su Ming blinked. Was he being judged?
