Chapter 145 - Slapathon
Everyone in the classroom couldn’t say a word. Even if someone wanted to speak, they didn’t dare make themselves a target for Ben the poison dragon...
The reality was that it was over. Done. Everyone already got faced-off, the only question remaining was if they preferred leading their lives like Nicolas Cage or John Travolta...
There was no easy answer...
In fact, almost everyone had been silent during the whole slapathon with one notable exception. There was one person laughing, and that was Professor Tremblay...
If another professor saw her, they might consider it unprofessional to allow a presentation like this to continue, but she thought it was good for the students. During class, it became clear that many of them were arrogant and needed a wake-up call. More importantly, that sh*t was funny!
When the first slaps happened, she chuckled out loud, having to cover it up with coughing when a couple of people glanced at her. Most of the students hadn’t noticed though. They were too busy watching their executions...as they floated outside their bodies...
The only one who got a clear sight of this was Ben because he was facing her. After he finished educating the youth, he glanced at the professor, noticing her still trying to hide a tiny smile. He remembered that when he created the PowerPoint, there was an urge to put her fully body cutout up there too and slap her ass...
...
Now, he was glad he banished that demonic desire, because the stoic professor’s rare smile was an even grander reward, much better than living vicariously through a PowerPoint hand...
Next, Ben glanced at Lawrence, whose face was the ugliest out of everyone here. It was normal since not only did he get slapped, but Ben’s presentation snapped him out of a pleasant daydream!
Lawrence even touched his face as he glared at Ben. ’It was only an animation, so why does my face hurt?!?’
...
In truth, Lawrence played a large role in the creation of this PowerPoint; He was like the mother that gave birth to it...
When Ben’s mind first spawned the concept for this scholarly presentation...he almost failed to go through with it, because Lawrence’s nature as a c.o.c.kroach villain was like a passive talent that nudged Ben’s mind to consider letting him off...
The law also supported Lawrence...
11th stratagem of web novels: spare the bad guy to spare the headache of creating a new character.
However, Ben rejected it! His thought at the time was, ’I should spare the bad guy? Then he’ll just come back again! Am I brain damaged?!?’
...
Ben believed he was taking a dangerous risk as an MC, straying so far from the foundational formula... Yet, he dared to do it because he was also living in this world! It was dangerous to have enemies when his plot armor was condom thin!
In the end, the cosmic force on Lawrence’s side motivated Ben to go even harder! To be sure he eliminated his entire c.o.c.kroach problem, Ben even decided to not only stomp Lawrence, but to fumigate the entire class!
...
Finished teaching the youth, Ben made his closing statement. "I hope you all learned something..."
’Learned, my ass!’
’What can we learn, you bastard! How to roll with a slap?!?’
’I learned o stay away from you forever...’
...
Watching their silent acceptance of his lesson, Ben felt they wanted an encore, but were too in awe of his greatness to request it...
Being a compassionate and merciful being...he decided to grand their wish... "And finally, I leave you all with a poem..."
’It’s too much!’
’Leave me to die!’
’Thought. We’re. Same. Team.’
...
Ben inhaled, then chanted his spell in dragon language...
"You thought I was weak...
But I was on fleek...
You thought you were strong...
But I proved you wrong...
You face ate my smite...
To learn I was right...
Your heart held such spite...
But now...
Fills with fright..."
Ben exhaled. "The title of this piece is: ’Does your face hurt?’"
...
He added one final line. "This poem is dedicated to one of you in particular...you know who you are..."
Lawrence’s face became hideous. ’"You know who you are?" Everyone knows! You’re pointing at me!’
...
Before leaving, Ben played the final PowerPoint animation. A school bus popped up on the screen as all the heads flew into it. It then proceeded to drive off the slide. Ben explained it to the crowd. "This is your final destination... I hope you all enjoy your stay in Faceslap City..."
...
"Residence...permanent..."
"Ok. That’s enough." Professor Tremblay called an end to Ben’s presentation at last, as many students released massive sighs of relief...
Their hearts couldn’t take much more!
When Ben prepared to leave the stage, he stopped a moment as his watch vibrated.
[IOI Watch(Item, Rare) - After setting the minimum looks qualifier, when the wearer receives IOIs(indicators of interest), the watch vibrates, then its hands point toward up to three women giving the wearer the largest IOIs within 30 meters]
His eyes glanced at the wristwatch’s hands, then followed the directions they pointed in. ’It looks like it’s Miyuki...Olivia...and las,t the professor? No f*cking way...’
Glancing at Professor Tremblay, Ben noticed something different in her eyes when she looked at him...
Still, he couldn’t pursue anything. He was an honorable student...and Miyuki was around...
Soon, the bell rang signaling the end of class and the beginning of the afterlife for some students...
As Ben exited the classroom and walked through the halls, a female voice stopped him. "How did you do it?!?"
He turned around to see a towering beauty giving him an intense stare as she squeezed her fists. She was almost a half-foot taller than him. Yet, his relaxed confidence and her uncertain expression made it seem like Ben was the one looking down on her instead. As he observed her scrunched eyebrows, he couldn’t help but find her tense expression cute...
"How did you beat me?!?" She’d done everything right. According to her team’s calculations, there was no way Ben could have won, so he must have done something which he didn’t cover in his speech/slap...
The answer would be in the specific data of the final round, waiting on her computer at home, but she couldn’t wait.
Ben smirked. "I’m guessing it was you who got Lawrence to try to tie my shoelaces together on the last round... Otherwise, there would have been no reason for him to join corporate. I’m curious, what did you offer him?"
Olivia gritted her teeth but didn’t answer.
Ben sneered. "I can guess...but there’s no need. I’ll tell you this much, you’re not the only one who can motivate people to your side..."
She squinted as her mind pondered his words.
"Hey, Bennn~" At that moment, one of the groups from the competition left the classroom and waved to him with bright smiles. It was a group of girls. A group of big girls...
Glancing at them, Olivia’s jaw dropped as her eyes became as large as big girls...
...
How did Ben defeat Olivia’s scheme? He’d played Crusader Kings 2! He was always wary of scheming!
Ben believed there were people out there who were downright villainous, no good, underhanded tricksters who would do anything to win. That’s why he needed to scheme first and harder!
...
Olivia motivated Lawrence to help her? He made the same move! He convinced another team to bring her segment down! In the end, it evened out!
When Olivia turned back at him with a face of utter shock, he held out his arm and raised one finger. "You may have outsmarted me, but I outsmarted your outsmarting!"
...
Olivia was still gawking, but she’d put everything together, except for one key thing. ’I still don’t understand. I showed that creep my tits to get him to help me. This bastard doesn’t have tits! ...What did he show them?’
Ben could guess what she was thinking, but he saw no need to explain. Instead, he turned and walked away.
Yet, Olivia needed to know! She shouted at his back! "How’d you do it?!? What did you show them?!?"
...
Not breaking his stride, Ben didn’t even glance at her, only leaving a few words hanging in the air. "Something magical..."
...
He soon disappeared around the corner...
Staring into the space where Ben had stood, the phrase echoed in Olivia’s mind.
’Something magical...’
’Something magical...’
’Something magical...’
She envisioned a scene...
Low lighting, a long elevated catwalk, the team of big girls in the audience...and an announcer. "Ladies and Hades...a feature presentation, the one and only, the star of the show, Mr. Magic...Ben!"
...
R&B music started to play as the five overweight girls huddled together in front, eyes glued to the curtain. Then, from backstage, Ben came out...wearing nothing but a towel...
Moving towards the women in rhythm with the music...he stopped when he reached them. Then, as the camera faced his back, with slow movements...he untied the towel at the front...holding it open...
The R&B music blended out into angelic choir singing...
...
Dollar bills flew upwards like soaring dreams...
...
A golden light emitted from his groin...
...
As the vision faded, Olivia returned to her view of the hallway. Yet, something changed... She developed an interest in magic...
.,..
As a Brit, she blamed J. K. Rowling.
...
Meanwhile, not far from Olivia, Ben was still there...
After passing the corner, he hadn’t left. Instead, he hid against the wall...
...
Passing students wondered why he was creeping...but Ben didn’t care. He was waiting to overhear Olivia make a declaration of love...
If not that, then he hoped there would at least be a cool explosion behind him to magnify his badassery...
It never came due to budget limitations...
That disappointed him but Ben didn’t have time to waste, because Miyuki just texted him to meet her at the dorm, and Ben owed her a spanking session...
