William Carter completely gave up arguing and shouted at the top of his lungs. Instantly, he attracted the attention of many people—several classes were having outdoor activities on the sixth activity square. William Carter’s loud call immediately drew some interested glances. Unfortunately, William Carter’s declaration about looking for a girlfriend didn’t attract a pretty girl, but instead brought over a few tough-looking delinquent students.

　　‘William Carter! What are you yelling about! If shouting could get us a girlfriend, then we’d all be shouting sarcastically every day.’

　　‘Have you seen David Parker? We’re looking for him.’

　　After these troublemakers finished mocking him, the leader of the group, Henry Clark, asked a question. Although he wore a smile, it was clear that Henry Clark had been holding in his anger for a long time. Looking for David Parker was definitely not for any ordinary classmate interaction.

　　John Thompson was known as an all-around athlete in the 416th district, which referred to official sports competitions. David Parker, on the other hand, excelled at some rather unconventional ‘sports’ activities. When it came to these more violent sports, the undisputed king of the 416th district was the fighting champion, David Parker.

　　Openly and privately, he called himself a die-hard fan of martial arts novels and a fanatic for ancient martial arts. With a good temper but a tendency toward violence, David Parker was very famous in the 416th district. He was called the number one ancient martial arts expert in the district, not because he fought often, but because he was so good at it.

　　The grudge between Henry Clark and David Parker was not a recent one. Everyone in the 416th district knew how many times Henry Clark had suffered losses at David Parker’s hands.

　　In fact, David Parker was a very easygoing person, and William Carter and his friends got along well with him. But if someone—there are always such people in every district—was being unreasonable and bullying weaker classmates, and happened to run into David Parker while doing so, it would inevitably turn into a violent conflict, often resulting in a bloody scene. Unless they apologized on the spot and left in disgrace, the outcome would be miserable.

　　Moreover, David Parker had never lost a fight, not even when facing multiple opponents at once.

　　David Parker originally lived in Shengyin City, but three years ago, due to his parents’ job transfer, he moved from the 51st district to the 416th district. In his first week there, he was targeted by the district’s top dogs, who picked a fight and broke David Parker’s personal smart brain. That slightly outdated model was a birthday gift from David Parker’s late grandfather, so he had never replaced it with a newer core. At the time, David Parker was furious and retaliated harshly, sending several of the ringleaders straight to the hospital.

　　After that grudge was formed, those guys kept coming after him, causing trouble for David Parker several times. The clever David Parker would run when he saw them coming, then later visit each one of them individually for payback, causing quite a stir in the 416th district. After suffering several defeats, some of the original top dogs in the district couldn’t take it anymore and brought in people who had already fused with bio-parasites to ambush David Parker. When the district authorities found out, those people were dealt with by government law enforcement. The law clearly stated that violators in such cases would be permanently stripped of the right to fuse with bio-parasites. David Parker ended up hospitalized for nearly five months from that attack.

　　And the ones who arranged for someone to deal with David Parker were Henry Clark and his gang.

　　As soon as David Parker got out of the hospital, he began his revenge. Those top dogs who hadn’t fused with bio-parasites were absolutely no match for David Parker, who had a high level of skill in ancient martial arts. If not for modern medical care, he would have nearly crippled them. The matter was only settled after intervention from the district’s supervising teachers. Since they were all minors, the district just swept the incident under the rug.

　　But the grudge was far from over. Now, it was obvious that Henry Clark wanted to continue this feud. As everyone was about to graduate and leave the district, he wanted to challenge David Parker one last time.

　　Although William Carter and his friends wouldn’t get involved in such matters, they usually got along well with David Parker, so of course they wouldn’t help Henry Clark. John Thompson replied coldly, ‘Try the fourth classroom, maybe David Parker is there.’

　　The fourth classroom was the gym, and the PE teachers there were all retired soldiers. No matter how arrogant Henry Clark was, he wouldn’t dare cause trouble there.

　　‘Hmph! John Thompson, talking to me like that—you’d better watch yourself!’ With that, Henry Clark led his gang away.

　　Once Henry Clark and his group left in frustration, the four of them didn’t want to stay there any longer either. ‘William Carter, if you’re done being sad, it’s time to go get your graduation certificate. If you’re late, there might not be any left.’ The speaker was Brian Cooper. Among the students of the same year in the 416th district, he was known as ‘Second Brother’—meaning he was both handsome and cool. Countless pretty girls chased after him, but Brian Cooper never showed interest in any of them, which earned him this nickname that wasn’t exactly a compliment.

　　‘Yeah! Fairy, hurry up and go.’ Even John Thompson chimed in.

　　Although the two sounded anxious, they weren’t really worried about the graduation certificate. Everyone got one, and the school would never be so stingy as to not give them out, since the certificate would be very useful in future life.
