Chapter 24: Two Stray Dogs and a Mangy Dog

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Xing did not care about the ridicule of the class. Who made them think they were better just because they were rich?

Whether on Earth or here, one thing that remains unchanged is that people laugh at the poor, not the prostitutes.

Especially in an imperial system and a society with strict noble ranks.

The poor have always been poor for generations, with no social status to speak of.

They are even lower than the watchdogs raised by noble families.

For poor individuals like Zhang Xing who possess magical talent, once they enter the Magic Academy, they completely shed their identity as poor and start living a superior life.

However, this kind of life was only relative to the poor. There was no other reason. In the eyes of the nobles, you were just a vassal, just slightly more important than the servants.

“Zhang Xing, stop bragging. Have you seen what wolf meat looks like? Maybe you haven’t even smelled it before!”

Clive mocked again.

The few poor students in the class also joined in, trying to please Clive.

Zhang Xing flipped open the book ‘Beginner Magic Theory Foundation’ and started reading it. He did not want to argue with these kids over something meaningless.

This kind of behavior was regarded as cowardice by the entire class.

The two poor students took the opportunity to stand up and loudly reprimand Zhang Xing to please Clive.

“Zhang Xing, don’t be so stubborn. It’s your honor that Young Master Clive recognizes you. As long as you’re willing to serve him, you can eat anything!”

“That’s right. Zhang Xing, you don’t know what’s good for you. Young Master Clive has already looked for you three times and has already given you enough face.”

When Clive heard what the two bootlickers said, he nodded slightly at them with an approving expression.

These two impoverished students were trying to please him, wanting to be associated with him. Clive was still assessing them because their magical talents were not outstanding, and such servant families were abundant.

“Shut up, who do you think you are? Look at the two of you. You’re like two stray dogs. Even if you want to find a dog father, you shouldn’t choose a mangy dog!”

Miss Sorina was just walking to the classroom door when she heard Zhang Xing’s insulting words. She almost laughed out loud.

‘This kid is so funny. He has quite a knack for insults.’ Solina quietly turned around and did not enter the classroom immediately.

“Zhang Xing, you…”

The two ten-year-old poor students did not know how to retort.

Whoosh!

The students who were watching the show burst into laughter.

As the laughter subsided, the classroom fell silent. The students cowered, using their books to hide their faces while secretly peeking.

Many students realized what he meant.

When they saw Clive’s gloomy and flushed face, his trembling body, and his tightly clenched fists as if a volcano was about to erupt, they did not dare to laugh anymore.

Clive’s lungs were about to explode from anger. A poor kid actually dared to scold the Young Master of the Duke’s family!

Is there no law? Does the king’s rule mean nothing? If this were outside the school, with his bodyguards by his side, they would have already caught the insolent child and beaten him on the spot before delivering him to face family justice.

This was the first time he had been called a mangy dog, and he never expected it to be so hurtful.

In the past, when he cursed the servants and the poor, he felt so comfortable, as if he had drunk a bowl of ice-cold sour plum soup on a scorching summer day!

However, today, hearing himself being insulted by a poor person, he felt an immense anger. His noble aristocratic dignity had been ruthlessly trampled upon, and this was absolutely unacceptable!

“Oh great God of Fire! Your devout servant Clive needs your help. Please grant me power!”

Clive chanted in his heart, and the level 1 Fireball Spell was completed.

“Go to hell, you peasant scum!”
