Chapter 20: Chapter 20 Principal, let me make 1 cut!

Qian Qi didn’t want to give up such a good opportunity.

After all, a free and reverse advertising opportunity like this is hard to come by, and if she misses this chance, there won’t be a next one.

So she lowered her head and didn’t answer the principal’s question. Instead, she stared straight at her toes, seemingly contemplating something.

The sudden silence made the principal a bit puzzled. Just as he was about to say something, Qian Qi suddenly lifted her head.

On that rather emmm... face, a trace of sadness gradually appeared, "Principal... are you unwilling to believe in your students?"

Qian Qi clutched her heart and shook her head, her words filled with disappointment, "Your students tirelessly devote all their time researching Magic Potions to benefit humanity and repay the alma mater’s nurturing, but in your eyes, are all these efforts truly worthless?"

"I..." The principal didn’t expect Qian Qi to say this and was momentarily at a loss for words.

It’s not that he found it worthless; it’s just that with Qian Qi being the subject, he found it hard to believe!

By now, Qian Qi’s emotions had reached their peak, and tears flowed like steel beads as she angrily accused, "How can you fail your students’ sincere hearts! How can you fail their burning ambitions! Such a simple wish from a student, and you are unwilling to express support and trust; if not you, then who can let her hold onto her heart and strive to repay this country, this society!"

"All she seeks is a verification of her research efforts after years of hard work!"

"Principal—" Qian Qi screamed her heart out, "Don’t break the hearts of us students!"

Qian Qi’s voice was exceptionally loud, and her passionate speech attracted many students who started whispering to each other about what was happening here.

Upon discovering that the yelling student had created a one-second Hemostatic Medicine and wanted the principal to personally verify it, pairs of eyes showed admiration for a brave hero.

This student is so fierce, daring to ask the principal to personally test the medicine! _{fre\e(w)ebn ov.e l\. co.m}

The principal, being bombarded with questions, had his mind stunned by Qian Qi’s speech output, fingers shaking as he looked at her, managing only to say "You" for a long time without completing a sentence.

Nearby, Su Ang’s gaze gently fell on the girl wearing flip-flops and a worn leather jacket.

The lone girl stood firm in the noisy crowd, her eyes bright and determined, seemingly unaffected by anyone around her, and not backing down from the principal’s unilateral doubts, instead speaking firmly and confidently.

She seemed very confident.

Su Ang stepped forward, his voice calm, offering a solution to the principal’s dilemma, "Student, I’ll test the medicine for the principal."

Qian Qi turned her head towards Su Ang, and upon closer inspection, she found the young man incredibly handsome, almost unreal. Her gaze couldn’t help but fall on Su Ang’s fair and slender hand.

This hand looks very nice; his arms must be good-looking too!

Qian Qi raised a small knife, ready to try.

This frightened the principal, who quickly shielded his precious Su Ang behind him, "No, no, no, let me do it!"

The principal didn’t want Su Ang’s perfect body to get hurt; he’s so young, and if his arm bore a scar, how ugly would that be!

Moreover, he was an S-Class Spiritual Power Awakener and a future Commander, and any injury would be a loss for all of Central State!

Looking around at the surrounding students, the principal took a deep breath. Now the arrow was on the bowstring and had to be released; for his reputation, he had to help Qian Qi prove the Hemostatic Medicine’s efficacy. If this turned out to be fake medicine, with so many students as witnesses, he could rightfully expel Qian Qi!

Since you, Qian Qi, are merciless, don’t blame me as the principal for being unjust!

With a broken heart, the principal rolled up his sleeves, still spouting official statements to save his reputation, "As the principal, I should encourage students to surpass themselves, I am willing..."

Before he could finish speaking, the impatient Qian Qi swiftly slashed his arm.

"Hiss—!"

"Hiss—!"

The first sound was from the principal.

The second sound was from all the students.

"Principal, you’re brave!" Qian Qi loudly and artificially praised, picking up a packet of hemostatic powder from the stall, while also not forgetting to tell the principal, "By the way, principal, the Hemostatic Medicine is 998, package it for 2 yuan."

Principal: ???

I’m testing as a guinea pig, and you still charge me?!

"Principal, you must know, my family is very poor..."

"Fine, fine, fine, hurry up!" The principal’s face turned black, regretting deeply, it’s damn painful!

Qian Qi was not afraid of the principal reneging; after all, she had countless ways to force the principal to pay. She opened the sealed bag and directly sprinkled the Hemostatic Medicine powder on the principal’s arm.

The principal felt the pain vanish instantly; the Hemostatic Medicine powder seemed to have a pain-relieving effect, and within a blink, the wound miraculously stopped bleeding, without a drop of blood flowing out.

He pulled out a handkerchief to wipe it, discovering the wound left no scar at all.

"Wow, it’s really so amazing!" Qian Qi saw this too and couldn’t help uttering a classic phrase of amazement.

Principal: ???

Didn’t you just swear it would be absolutely authentic!

Realizing her slip of tongue, Qian Qi quickly raised the principal’s bloody arm and enthusiastically addressed the students watching, "Classmates! Look! This is the great evidence of the principal’s unconditional support for us!"

"It’s his heartfelt trust, and the best encouragement for us!"

"It’s because of such a great principal that we can look forward to a brighter future, enabling humanity to exist eternally in the river of history!"

"Let us always remember this day, strive hard, forge ahead, and repay the principal and the school for their trust and nurturing!"

Qian Qi lifted the principal’s hand again, passionately shouting, "Today I am proud of my alma mater! Tomorrow my alma mater will be proud of me!"

Her voice was infectious, leading the surrounding students to emotionally shout along, "Today I am proud of my alma mater! Tomorrow my alma mater will be proud of me!"

"Long live the principal!"

"Long live the principal!!!"

A pair of innocent eyes untouched by the world stared at the principal with reverence and trust, and he gradually lost himself in these young and vibrant "Long live the principal" chants.

Feeling elevated, Qian Qi pulled her voice and shouted:

"Students! You have seen the effect of the Blood Stopping Magic Potion; the one-second blood stoppage is no lie, even if the main artery is cut, it stops bleeding instantly, it’s truly the best life-saving tool!"

"No need for 99, no need for 88, not even 998, just 1998, package and take home immediately!"

Principal: ???

Wait, wasn’t it just 998!

This rascal dare raise the price on the spot?! And right before me, the principal!
