F-class thief? Sorry, I can steal anything.

Chapter 262 The Student Council Arrives, Young Master Xia, What are you doing here?

"I'll be waiting for you on the rooftop."

Chen Yifan frowned slightly as he looked at the four words on the communicator.

An unknown number, no signature, and the timing was so precise—it was sent right after the meeting ended.

Anyone with a brain knows this is probably the "student council brother" of the blond guy whose finger he broke, coming to settle scores.

"Fanzi, who is that?"

Wang Fugui noticed Chen Yifan staring at the communicator and curiously approached him.

"Debt collectors."

Chen Yifan replied casually and put away the communicator.

"Collecting debts? Who do you owe money to?"

Wang Fugui looked completely bewildered.

"Medical expenses for a mentally challenged person."

Chen Yifan stood up and said to Wang Fugui and Lin Xiaoyu:

"You guys go back to the dorm first, I have something to do, I'll be right back."

"What's wrong? I'll go with you!"

Wang Fugui was worried.

"No need, it's just a small problem, I can handle it myself."

Chen Yifan patted him on the shoulder.

"Remember what I said: keep a low profile. Don't go looking for trouble."

"Of course, if things happen on their own initiative, even an omnipotent person is not afraid of trouble."

After saying that, he walked out of the auditorium alone.

Watching Chen Yifan's departing figure, a hint of worry flashed in Lin Xiaoyu's eyes:

"Is Yifan alright?"

"What could possibly happen? Don't you trust Fanzi?"

Wang Fugui curled his lip.

"I guess some fool has run into trouble again. Let's go back first, so as not to cause any more trouble for Fanzi."

……

The rooftop of the teaching building.

The wind was strong, making people's clothes flutter loudly.

Chen Yifan pushed open the door to the rooftop and immediately saw several people standing on the edge of the rooftop.

The leader was a young man wearing a crisp white uniform with a student council badge on his chest.

The young man was handsome and refined, with a warm smile that gave people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.

Behind him stood several members, also dressed in student council uniforms, each with a calm demeanor and sharp eyes.

The blond guy whose finger was broken by Chen Yifan was also among them.

His fingers were splinted, his face was wrapped in bandages, and only his resentful eyes were visible, staring intently at Chen Yifan.

"You're Chen Yifan?"

The young man in the white uniform saw Chen Yifan and walked over, still wearing that harmless smile on his face.

"it's me."

Chen Yifan sized him up.

This guy's level isn't low; he's at least completed the second job advancement.

Moreover, the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from him were very pure and condensed.

Clearly, the foundation has been laid very solidly.

"My name is Qin Feng, and I'm the head of the External Relations Department of the Student Union. This is my younger brother, Qin Ming."

Qin Feng pointed to the golden retriever behind him.

"I heard you beat him up in the dorm today?"

His tone was flat, revealing no emotion, as if he were chatting casually.

"He has a foul mouth, I'm just disciplining him on behalf of his parents," Chen Yifan said casually.

Qin Feng's smile froze for a moment.

The faces of the student council members behind him instantly darkened.

"Kid, you're pretty arrogant! How dare you talk like that in front of Young Master Qin!" A member stepped forward and pointed at Chen Yifan, shouting.

Chen Yifan's eyes instantly turned cold.

"I think I just said that I don't like people pointing their fingers at me."

The member felt a chill run down his spine from his cold gaze and instinctively tried to pull his hand back.

"What? Want to give it a try?"

Chen Yifan took a step forward.

With just one step, an invisible pressure instantly enveloped that member.

That member felt as if he were being stared at by a prehistoric beast, his legs went weak, and he almost lost his balance.

"alright."

Qin Feng waved his hand, stopping his subordinates from acting impulsively.

He looked at Chen Yifan again, the smile gone, replaced by scrutiny.

"Chen Yifan, your strength is quite impressive. As a freshman, to have such strength certainly gives you the right to be arrogant."

"However, this is Kyoto Martial Arts University. Strength alone is not enough."

"Although my brother was in the wrong, you went too far. Breaking his finger in front of the whole dorm, how is he supposed to face anyone at school after this?"

Qin Feng paused for a moment, then continued:

"Well then, I see you're a smart person, and we don't want to make a big deal out of this."

"You, apologize to my brother in front of me. Then, compensate him for his medical expenses and emotional distress with 100,000 credits. Let's call it even today."

"From now on, if you get into any trouble at school, I, Qin Feng, can protect you."

His words were reasonable and well-founded, employing both soft and hard tactics.

They offered a way out while also flexing their muscles.

Any ordinary freshman would probably choose to let the matter drop.

However, Chen Yifan laughed after hearing this.

"An apology? Compensation?"

He seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Minister Qin, are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"

"It was your brother who provoked me first. I was just acting in self-defense."

"As for compensation, sure. He scared me, and I suffered great emotional trauma. If you ask him to pay me a million, I might consider forgiving him."

"you!"

Qin Ming, standing behind Qin Feng, was trembling with anger and was about to unleash a torrent of curses at Chen Yifan.

Qin Feng's expression also turned completely cold.

"Chen Yifan, it seems you're determined to refuse a polite offer and then suffer the consequences?"

"I just don't like drinking when others offer me a drink."

Chen Yifan's tone remained as calm as ever.

"Fine, very well." Qin Feng laughed angrily. "Since that's the case, then we'll follow the school's rules."

He glanced at his identification bracelet.

"I, Qin Feng, in the name of the Minister of External Relations of the Student Union, hereby issue a 'Credit Challenge' to you, freshman Chen Yifan."

"The challenge is one-on-one. The stakes are all the credits you have."

"Do you dare to accept?"

Credit Challenge!

This is the most direct and official way for Kyoto University to resolve personal grudges.

Once initiated, it cannot be refused unless there is a significant disparity in strength between the two sides.

Qin Feng is going to use the rules to openly and fairly trample Chen Yifan underfoot!

For a level 50, second-tier powerhouse to challenge a freshman who had just enrolled and was at most level 30, was an absolute crushing defeat.

He wanted to use this method to show everyone what the consequences would be for offending Qin Feng!

Chen Yifan looked at Qin Feng's confident expression, but inwardly he sneered.

Just when I was worried about not having a place to earn credits, someone offered them to me.

He was just about to agree.

A voice suddenly came from the rooftop entrance.

"Minister Qin, isn't it a bit inappropriate to bully a freshman like this?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

Xia Nan, the roommate who wore black-rimmed glasses and looked rather frail, was standing at the door, holding several thick books in her hands.

He seemed a little scared when he saw the scene on the rooftop, but he still mustered up his courage and walked over.

Qin Feng saw Xia Nan, but before he could speak...

Qin Ming, who was standing to the side, frowned.

He remembered this person.

She was his roommate.

"This is none of your business, get out of here."

His tone clearly carried a hint of impatience.

"Minister Qin, Chen Yifan is my roommate and also from my hometown. He just arrived at the school and doesn't know the rules. If he has offended you in any way, I apologize on his behalf."

Xia Nan completely ignored Qin Ming and walked up to Qin Feng with a sincere expression.

"You apologize for him? Who do you think you are? Do you even have the right to speak here?"

Enraged that he was being ignored, Qin Ming immediately became relentless and reached out to grab Xia Nan's collar.

However, before he could even touch them...

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap echoed across the rooftop.

Everyone was stunned.

Qin Feng then slapped his younger brother Qin Ming hard across the face.

"Brother, why did you hit me?!"

Qin Ming covered his face, turning to look at his brother with an expression of disbelief.

Qin Feng ignored him and looked at Xia Nan, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"Young Master Xia... what are you doing here?"

His voice carried a hint of flattery and...fear that he himself was unaware of.

Xia Shao?

Chen Yifan's eyes narrowed instantly.

Looking at Xia Nan, who was still holding her book and had an innocent expression that said "I don't know anything," he felt a storm raging in his heart.

Who exactly is this guy?
