I Get Stronger When Called Up - Chapter 9

[Ding! 1000 Confusion consumed, <Absolute Command activated!]
[Current remaining Confusion rating: 2]
In an instant, Jiang Zejian trembled all over. Just when everyone thought he was about to punch Fang Qimai, he suddenly dropped his fist and said, “You’re right, my drawing is really rubbish, well done for tearing it apart! I will work hard from now on! I promise I won’t draw such rubbish again and pollute everyone’s eyes!”
Xiao Bixue: ???
Li Hongzhe: ???
The whole class: ???
…
“What’s going on?”
The classmates were completely shocked, everyone was stunned. Jiang Zejian, who commanded the campus like a storm, had his drawing torn apart, and instead of resisting, he actively admitted that his drawing was rubbish?
“This is like a little cow going into a slaughterhouse – absolutely fantastic!”
Only Jiang Zejian silently thought to himself, “Damn… I’m obviously angry, but why can’t I feel angry?
…
…
“Great!”
“Stand up!”
“Hello, teacher!”
Biology teacher Luo Xinrui exudes a dominant aura and is one of the school’s top ten most attractive teachers. It’s just a shame that, whether it’s the early onset of menopause or something else, her bad temper erupts sporadically every month. It’s as if she’s applied too much volcanic mud mask and turned into a living volcano. Crucially, as well as being a biology teacher, she is also the deputy head of the school, and her class is not to be taken lightly.

Looking around the class, Luo Xinrui coldly said, “Sit down! Ruan Meng, have you collected the exercise papers?”

Ruan Meng was still thinking about what had just happened. She knew that Fang Qimai had insulted Jiang Zejian to help her out… she felt a bit guilty.

“Ruan Meng!”

Ruan Meng snapped back to reality and stood up quickly.

“Teacher, I collected them…”

“Did you turn them all in?”

“Well…”

Ruan Meng didn’t want to throw Fang Qimai under the bus, especially since he had just helped her. She struggled with this dilemma.

Unexpectedly, Fang Qimai stood up on his own.

“Teacher, I didn’t report mine.”

The whole class erupted.

“You didn’t hand it in? How can you still stand up?”

“Then I’ll sit down.”

Fang Qimai collapsed back into his seat.

Luo Xinrui: !!!

“Confusion Value of Luo Xinrui: +10”

“Fang Qimai, why didn’t you hand it over?”

[Ding! You have been summoned by the biology teacher Luo Xinrui. Unlock Physique: Disease Immunity (Inner Breathing)]

Immunity to all respiratory diseases.

Wow!

You’ll never catch a cold, fever or runny nose again.

Including pneumonia, altitude sickness, bronchitis, all immune!

This is good! “Did you hear me, Fang Qimai? I’m talking to you!”
Fang Qimai replied, “I’m just trying to make your work easier, Teacher.”
“Oh? Then I really thank you.”
“You’re welcome, Teacher. I should be the one to thank you.”
Luo Xinrui: …
“Confusion Value of Luo Xinrui: +5”
Luo Xinrui let out a heavy sigh, “I’ll deal with you after class. First, I need to inform everyone of something: We’ll have biology class instead of PE this Friday afternoon.”
“Ah?”
Sure enough, all the teachers had their eyes on the gym class.
Even the biology teacher wanted a piece of it.
If you count it carefully, there were hardly any PE lessons this term.
Despite the chorus of complaints from the whole class, they could only grumble quietly.
“Alright, prepare for the exam.”
At that moment, Fang Qimai stood up again.
“Teacher, I disagree.”
…
“You… you object?”
Luo Xinrui repeated in disbelief.
“Confusion Value of Luo Xinrui: +7”
Everyone was stunned.
“Everyone is against it, but who dares to say it out loud?”
“This guy really has guts…”
“I respect him for being brave!”
“If he doesn’t die today, I’ll call him my brother; if he does, I’ll burn incense for him every year on this day.”
…
The class’s confusion level continued to rise.
Luo Xinrui had been a teacher for over ten years, and no one had ever dared to oppose her taking the PE class.
But now…
She chuckled coldly and said, “Fang Qimai, say that again?”
Fang Qimai replied seriously, “again.
Luo Xinrui:…
The whole class:…
Li Hongzhe pushed up his glasses, thinking that it was ridiculous to oppose the teacher’s use of the gym, but he knew that his opportunity to perform had come.
“Fang Qimai, what are you talking about? Do you think Teacher Luo is easy to deal with? She covers extra classes for us, and you dare to oppose her?”
Fang Qimai replied, “I don’t deny that Teacher Luo is serious and responsible in her work, but… I’ve already made an agreement with physical education teacher Wang to have a one-on-one basketball match in the next class. Whether I win or lose, I’ll still be a little dog if I don’t show up…”.
All: …
“Nonsense!” Luo Xinrui slammed the desk and said, “I, Teacher Luo, am not unreasonable. I expected you to give me a good reason, but instead, this is just ridiculous! You can’t say no to this!
Listen, for Friday’s PE class, I will use it for Biology class!”
Fang Qimai said, “A good reason? I have one.”
Luo Xinrui put her hands behind her back and glared at Fang Qimai. “All right! I’ll give you one minute. If you can’t explain yourself clearly, I’ll call your parents tonight!”
…
The whole class watched with great interest, waiting to see how Fang Qimai would get himself into trouble.
Originally, Fang Qimai could have solved this problem with <Absolute Command>.
But now, he didn’t have enough Confusion to activate it.
Besides, Fang Qimai wanted to convince others with good reasoning, hoping that the biology teacher would understand and not change the timetable.
So Fang Qimai earnestly explained, “When we exercise, our bodies produce dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine. These three neurotransmitters help us learn.
The students looked confused.
What is he talking about?
Where is he going with this?
“Dopamine is a positive emotional substance, and the receptors for it are in the pleasure centre of our brain, the nucleus accumbens.
Haven’t you noticed that after we exercise our mood improves, we feel energised and our temper is better?”

“Serotonin is also a good thing; it is directly related to our emotions and memory. As serotonin levels increase, memory is strengthened and learning becomes more effective. And then there’s adrenaline, which is directly related to attention; it can improve our concentration”.
“This…”
After hearing Fang Qimai’s words, the whole class felt that… it seemed to be true.
Li Hongzhe noticed that Luo Xinrui’s expression was off and said hastily, “What does that have to do with anything? I haven’t practiced all day, yet my grades have always been good… Don’t make excuses for your poor grades! Why not use this time to study instead?”
Fang Qimai ignored him.
He continued, “Research shows that one hour of exercise a day can significantly improve learning. Exercise can inhibit the activation of the amygdala in the brain, preventing the emergence of negative emotions and better promoting the development of our mental and physical health. Maintaining a pleasant mood after exercise allows us to focus on our studies, increases blood flow to the brain, promotes the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor genes in the hippocampus, aids memory, and greatly increases each person’s learning efficiency. Exercise is not a waste of time; it is beneficial to learning. Class president, if you insist on exercising every day and losing that little belly, your grades will improve beyond what they are now.”
“You…”
Li Hongzhe was so angry that he was at a loss for words.
“From Li Hongzhe’s Confusion Value, +4”
The main problem was that Fang Qimai spoke too professionally; high school biology didn’t teach that much… They had no idea how to argue back.
“Hmph! This guy just knows how to talk nonsense, let’s see how teacher Luo uses her expertise to point out the errors in your ridiculous claims!”
…
However, at that moment, Luo Xinrui was already stunned.
