Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Gu Jin Being Accused

"And what if I don’t use any elemental stone?"

"Then there are chances that you will not able to awaken any element. If you fail to awaken any element, then you will either be demoted or in serious cases, you might even be thrown out of the school. The school doesn’t want to waste their resources."

The student was scared.

The girls who were gossiping earlier said,

"However even if you were absent yesterday, your class teacher should have called you out to absorb the elemental stone saved for you.

How about you go and ask her."

Just then the student was called out and she heaved a sigh of relief since her class teacher handed her a blue elemental stone and asked her to go to one of the rooms.

Gu Jin who was seeing all this, happened to see Teacher Fu who was looking at her with an evil smile and then looking away.

Gu Jin now understood everything.

She also figured out why her class teacher was happy. Maybe he was happy because she didn’t use any elemental stone.

So this was his plan. First, he wouldn’t give her any elemental stone, then he would wait for her to make a fool of herself, after which he would demote her.

Or worse could be him getting her expelled.

She even figured out who was behind all of this.

Teacher Fu looked away from Gu Jin and thought in his heart,

"Gu Jin you can’t blame me for being ruthless. If you hadn’t offended Miss Chu, I wouldn’t have gone as far as ruining your elemental awakening as well as your future.

But the things that you have said about Miss Chu, have really offended her. Now she has specifically prepared a grand present for you."

Gu Jin sighed, in her mind as she saw the evil expression on Teacher Fu’s face.

She wanted to tell him, that this scheme wasn’t going to be useful since she had already awakened an element.

Time passed and one by one students made their way toward the podium.

Some awakened an element they wanted, some awakened an element they didn’t want, while some weren’t able to awaken any...

However, one thing was constant and that was the excitement and passion of the students to awaken their first element

For a moment Gu Jin was affected by the environment.

She thought about her first element, and all her emotions vanished instantly.

Leave it! Her first element almost made her die.

It’s better to not reminisce about such an element.

Gu Jin found a chair and sat on it. Her body was turning slightly hot and the slight anxiety she was feeling, was slowly making it a little hard for her to keep standing.

Gu Jin used a healing spell on her body when it was her turn to go to the podium, to ensure that she didn’t fall halfway through.

Walking towards the podium, Gu Jin suppressed the rising anxiety and cursed in her heart,

"What is happening to me? Is this one of the schemes that Chu Hua pulled on me? No! No! She didn’t even come near me, so how can she harm me without even getting near me?

Damn it! The healing spell is not of much use either!"

The moment Gu Jin stood in front of the podium, she realized something.

Only she and Chu Hua were standing on the stage.

Gu Jin looked at the crowd who were looking at her and Chu Hua, as if they were expecting some drama to happen, and sighed.

Great! This Chu Hua is really something.

Just because she didn’t hand over the Wheel Stone and beat her hired puppet Huang Li, she prepared such a grand arrangement to humiliate her.

"Hey! Who is that girl? And why is she and Miss Chu the only ones standing on the stage."

"Oh, her? She is Gu Jin. Not only did she offend Miss Chu, but she even dared to claim that she would surpass Miss Chu before turning 20."

"Yeah! And what is even more funny is that she is just an orphan."

"Huh? An orphan? So did she join the Luo Family? Otherwise, how could she even think of offending Miss Chu?"

"Well that is the twist, this girl didn’t join any influential family, and she doesn’t even have a backer."

"So how can she think that she can surpass the young miss of Chu Family? Isn’t she being too ignorant?"

"Being ignorant is a small word for her. She is arrogant. Or maybe she did so many things to attract the rich young masters’ attention."

"Well, that is possible. After all, why would a 15-year-old girl be so focused on her looks? See how beautiful she looks...maybe she had used her body to buy beautifying potions."

"I have even heard that she has sold her body for resources."

"Hmph! She is arrogant and vain!"

Gu Jin’s eyes turned red from anger.

For a moment she wanted nothing more than to burn the entire hall.

"Student Gu is this true that you sold your body to buy beautifying potions and resources? Sigh how can you be so disappointing? Earlier even though you cheated and stole Miss Chu’s reward, I didn’t expose you and tried to help you see the right path but now...I think I have failed." Teacher Fu said with a sad expression.

"Teacher Fu, it’s alright. Miss Gu, you should stop visiting places like prostitution just for the sake of resources and to buy beautifying potions." Chu Hua said in a gentle tone.

Gu Jin wanted to teach them a lesson, but her entire body was burning by now.

She heard how they twisted the truth and how even though her classmates knew the truth, they remained silent.

Was she having a fever? Gu Jin held the podium and refuted,

"I didn’t..."

However, not many people believed her.

Chu Hua on the other hand smirked, but she quickly hid her smirk and said in an innocent tone,

"Oh, is it so? Guys Miss Gu is saying that she didn’t sell her body."
