Chapter II Sky-high Compensation Fees
Because the venue is very closed and strong, the shock waves generated by the explosion cannot destroy the venue, the sound cannot spread, and can only echo in the venue.
So, almost at the same moment, everyone in the venue covered their ears and their brains were buzzing.
At the same time, an alarm sounded in the school, perhaps because the explosion was too violent and was judged by the monitoring instruments for an external attack. It also directly affected the structure of the training hall building, so a first-level alarm sounded.
In an instant, figures flew up everywhere in the Royal Academy, looking around, they all turned into streams of light and flew towards the fighting training hall.
"What's wrong? Explosion?"
"Come and take a look!"
As soon as the explosion ended, several people stood up, put down their hands covering their ears, and looked around and ran towards the location where the explosion occurred.
The surrounding area of the strength tester was already in a mess, the floor and walls were all blown up, and messy fragments were everywhere, and the strength tester had completely disappeared, and I don’t know how many pieces it had broken into.
Louis was knocked out by Xia Zuo at the moment of explosion. Xia Zuo blocked him and suffered all the impact. Louis was fine. He just fell out and was shocked by the sound.
He shook his head and sat up, banged hard, and then jumped up, "What's wrong with you, Xia Zuo?"
Xia Zuo was directly under the explosion of the instrument. He looked extremely miserable at this time. There were a few more holes on his face, his outer robe was completely ragged, and many explosion fragments pierced into his body.
"Xiazu!" Louis hurried to Xiazu, and many students gathered.
"Cough cough! I'm fine..." Xia Zuo coughed twice, crawled up in a dusty face, and pulled the corners of his mouth due to pain. When he looked down, he saw a piece of metal fragment half an inch wide piercing deeply into his own abdomen.
This situation is impossible for ordinary people to sit up. If the treatment is not done in time, they may die.
"Damn..." Xia Zuo held the metal fragment in one hand, gritted his teeth and pulled it out hard.
Chih!
A blood arrow more than one meter long spurted out from Xia Zuo's abdomen, and a large pool of red appeared on the ground.
"Uncle!" After pulling out the metal fragments, Xia Zuo's expression relaxed, and he stood up as if nothing had happened, and breathed a sigh of relief.
The students who rushed over and Louis were all jumping on their faces. What kind of fucking physique is this? I scream out if it hurts, don't scare people, okay?
"You... are you okay?" Louis asked carefully.
"Well... it's okay!" Xia Zuo touched the wound on his abdomen, looked at the blood in his hands, shook it calmly, and looked up at the tester.
The tester...is missing.
Fragments all over the ground.
Xia Zuo's face turned red, and he seemed to have realized what was going on. He turned around and grabbed Louis' collar with both hands and lifted Louis up.
"**Didn't you say you couldn't beat it last time?" Shazzo yelled at Louis.
"This...this..." Louis wiped the saliva sprayed on his face and looked at Xia Zuo with a dazed expression. He had never expected that Xia Zuo would still care about this now.
Didn't you see it when you were bleeding?
He didn't know that Xia Zuo's heart was bleeding. If the school's things were broken, they would be compensated. Who knows how much this ghost tester is worth? High-tech instruments like this are generally introduced from the Steam Alliance, and the price can basically be described as outrageous.
Xia Zuo was frustrated again. He would have gone to the professional attack test room if he had known it. He would definitely not be able to destroy the instruments there.
Not long after he designed the Billy gun, he had already prepaid hundreds of thousands of gold coins. This time he broke the instrument and it was likely that he would pay all the money in one go. What else would he buy a boat? What else would he use to travel around the world?
"He broke it?"
"Oh God!"
The students around exclaimed, and the students of the Neptune Legion changed their faces. This attack ability is comparable to that of the peak fighters, or even the junior fighters. How is it possible?
The door of the training hall was suddenly pushed open, and several men and women with powerful auras walked into the training hall, but did not walk inside. Instead, they stood at the door and scanned the scene in the fighting hall. They were the guardians of the academy. They did not care about what happened in the training hall, but only looked for enemies and eliminated them vigorously.
"What's going on?" The tall and strong man squeezed in from the door, looked at the messy piece in the training hall with a dark face, and asked.
"Teacher Arnold!"
"Teacher Arnold is here!"
"Teacher, it's him, he broke the strength tester."
"Yes, teacher, it's him!"
Many students raised their hands and pointed at Xia Zuo in unison.
"You...you're still bleeding...why put me down first..." Louis suggested in a weak voice.
Shazzo threw Louis down, looked up and gently touched the small wound on his face, looking at the messy ground, looking like he wanted to hit his head against the wall.
Why did it break?
"Okay, Xia Zuo, dare to destroy the public facilities of the school..." Arnold shouted and walked over, looking angry, but in fact he was full of joy.
The two of them are also "old acquaintances". At that time, Xia Zuo almost stabbed his proud disciple Frothy to death, but was not punished. He just paid the money and was always hated by Arnold. If it weren't for fear of Fanny, he would have been troubled by Xia Zuo long ago.
Today he finally seized the opportunity. Xia Zuo ruined the important facilities of the college, which was once a lifetime.
"You guys arrest him!" Arnold shouted directly, pretending to be thinking about the academy: "Dare to destroy such an important facility, it is no longer a problem of losing money."
"Teacher... he broke it when testing his fist strength..." Louis reminded in a weak voice.
The upper limit of the strength tester is not marked, and it is used to test strength. If Xia Zuo breaks it, it can be imagined that the strength tester cannot bear it. It is hard to say how much responsibility is on Xia Zuo.
"Bit...break?" Arnold was stunned. He had never deliberately paid attention to this word before.
He knew that the maximum capacity of this instrument is 10,000 kilograms, and it cannot use any energy. It must be pure physical strength. Not to mention humans, Arnold has never seen a humanoid creature who can exert 10,000 kilograms of physical fist power. This is incredible.
"What's going on?"
Many teachers poured into the entrance of the training hall, but the flying wizard Fanni walked in front and asked loudly. She saw Xia Zuo bleeding, but pretended to be caring.
"It's him, your good nephew broke the boxing tester." Arnold immediately pointed at Xia Zuo and said angrily. He was the first teacher to attend and directly gave things a certainty.
"Oh!" Xia Zuo saw that the situation was wrong, and immediately screamed in pain. He covered his abdomen and fell to the ground with his hands. He looked like he was about to fail. His body shook twice and then stopped moving.
"Oh God!"
"He has been holding on!"
"Xia Zuo!"
The fighting training hall was in chaos, and Xia Zuo was lying on the ground covered in blood, not as if he was pretending at all.
An hour later, the college infirmary.
Without an ordinary doctor, Xia Zuo was lying naked on the hospital bed, with a blanket covering the vital parts.
Fanni sat on a stool beside the bed, holding needles and threads in her hand, making the final stitching of the wound on Xia Zuo's body. She also placed potions, trays and other items on the side. In the tray, there were 21 metal fragments of different sizes, all of which were taken out of Xia Zuo's body.
Xia Zuo suffered more injuries due to the explosion than others seemed, but with his strong physique, he would not die.
Fanni was busy, lowering her head, and she had never said a word to Xia Zuo from the beginning.
Xia Zuo didn't take the initiative to speak, just like that. After a while, the door of the infirmary suddenly opened, and Louis and Vivian entered the room one by one.
"Xia Zuo, how are you?" Vivian ran to the bed in a panic and asked nervously.
"I'm fine, it's okay." Xia Zuo waved his hands at the two of them with a smile.
"I was scared to death just now. I thought you... I thought you were going to die..." Louis showed a relieved expression.
"It's all you..." Xia Zuo rolled his eyes at Louis and said unhappily: "Last time I asked you if you would be broken, you said no, now it's okay..."
"Hehe, who knows you are so **!" Louis scratched his head and smiled, then raised his hand and patted his chest, and said with a loyal look: "Don't worry, if you don't have enough money to pay the college, I still have it here!"
"Save it!" Xia Zuo sighed. He was a fifth-grade student in the mechanical department. Even if he couldn't know the exact number of the value of the instrument, he could guess it almost the same. On the contrary, Louis, he didn't understand at all. In his eyes, a hundred gold coins would be a lot of money.
"Squeak!"
The door suddenly opened again, and a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a college work suit walked into the ward with a suitcase.
Louis and Vivi both stared blankly, not knowing who this person was.
"Hello, Xia Zuo, I am Vim from the Finance Office." Vim went around the other end of the bed and stretched out his hand to Xia Zuo.
"Hello Mr. Wim!" Xia Zuo reached out and shook weakly. He had seen this guy, and the last time he compensated Floser for medical expenses.
"Sir Xia Zuo, because of the huge losses caused to the college by your actions, I have to notify you in advance..." Wim sat on the stool, lowered his head and opened the suitcase while talking.
Fanni, who was packing things opposite, deliberately slowed down a little, raised her eyes and glanced at Vim, and she also wanted to know how much she would pay.
"According to our survey on the scene, this time, you have caused damage to twenty-seven items in the fighting training hall because of your behavior..." Wim took out the list from the box, "Three of them were severely damaged because they were close to the explosion point. Secondly, the antique vases placed in the corner of the wall were broken by the explosion fragments... and..."
Wim seemed to be a very rigorous person, and he said everything that was damaged clearly, and finally brought up the strength tester.
"Given that the strength tester is completely damaged and there is no possibility of repair, Xia Zuo needs full compensation. Including the previous twenty-six items, you need to compensate our hospital for a total of 372,521 gold coins."
"But because our hospital did not implement the obligation to inform in advance, which caused you to accidentally break the tester, our hospital is willing to bear part of the losses, of which the 72,521 gold coins will be borne by our hospital, and you will need to bear the remaining 300,000 gold coins."
"Sir Xia Zuo, 300,000 gold coins, when do you plan to pay for it?" Wim smiled and raised his head, showed his neat and white teeth to Xia Zuo. As he spoke, he handed the list to Xia Zuo.
"Three hundred thousand!" Louis screamed like a cat with his tail stepped on.
