C10 Teleportation

Su Meng clearly didn't believe him, prompting her to press further, "How can that be possible? If I have everyone kneel down one by one, there's no need to be afraid. The truth will come out. If there's been any injustice, feel free to tell me everything."

"There's nothing unfair, Miss. I haven't bullied anyone. Just look at their numbers. It's me against so many—so really, who's bullying whom?" Zhang Heng shook his head, a wry smile betraying his inner resignation.

He had intended to keep a low profile upon arriving at the academy, to avoid trouble and simply focus on his own affairs. Yet, unexpectedly, he found himself embroiled in controversy and misunderstood from the get-go.

"I don't care. It has to be you. What kind of scheme have you concocted?" Su Meng accused Zhang Heng fiercely.

To calm Su Meng down, Zhang Heng conceded, "Yes, yes, you're absolutely right, Miss."

Guo Yuan, standing to the side, interjected, "Ultimately, the fault lies with me. If you don't believe me, Su Meng, you're welcome to review the surveillance footage to see for yourself what really happened."

Hearing Guo Yuan's seemingly sincere offer, Zhang Heng couldn't help but suspect an ulterior motive. Yet, if Guo Yuan insisted, what could he do? After all, surveillance footage wouldn't reveal the whole truth.

"Are you really being genuine?" Zhang Heng was bewildered. The same person who had just insulted him, threatened violence, and demanded he leave the academy was now the one clearing up the misunderstanding. What was his true intention?

"At first, I was indeed shortsighted, but now I simply want to clear up the misunderstanding. Surely you wouldn't want to leave a poor impression with Miss Su Meng," Guo Yuan explained, smiling.

Zhang Heng harbored doubts about Guo Yuan's words but kept them to himself. Instead, he suggested, "If you think I'm capable of such actions, then perhaps you should review the surveillance footage yourself, right?"

Su Meng remained somewhat unconvinced.

"Absolutely. Reviewing the surveillance footage will ensure that no innocent person is wrongfully blamed," Guo Yuan added, still smiling.

Zhang Heng was completely bewildered, unsure of the current situation. However, the idea of checking the surveillance footage to prove his innocence wasn't out of the question. Considering he was going to spend a long time at this school, starting off on the wrong foot with the young lady could certainly complicate his future.

Might as well clear his name.

"Then I'll trust you this time," Su Meng conceded, swayed by Guo Yuan's persuasion.

With that, she marched ahead, her entourage matching her brisk pace.

Ordinarily, accessing the surveillance footage would be out of the question for most, but Su Meng was no ordinary student. Her unique status was likely known to everyone present, making the task of requesting footage far simpler for her.

Upon reaching the surveillance room, Su Meng greeted the staff warmly, and they reciprocated with enthusiasm.

"Miss Su Meng, how may I assist you?"

"I'd like to review some surveillance footage, if that's possible?"

"Of course, anything you wish, Miss. But may I know which specific camera you're interested in? I can pull up the footage for you right now," the security guard offered with utmost respect.

Su Meng glanced over at Zhang Heng.

"Which one?"

Zhang Heng wasn't exactly clear on the matter himself, being new to the school and not yet familiar with its layout.

He turned to Guo Yuan for guidance.

"1054, please," Guo Yuan interjected.

"1054?" echoed the guard, a note of surprise in his voice. "Does Miss wish to view a recorded lesson? If so, you could simply have the teacher come to your home for instruction. Why watch a recording?"

"A recorded lesson?" Zhang Heng echoed, confused.

"Yes, 1054 is one of our recording classrooms. The entire 105 series is dedicated to recorded lessons. Although our school's recording facilities are top-notch, with clear visuals and multiple angles, having a teacher come to your home for a private lesson is usually preferable," the guard explained.

Zhang Heng turned to Guo Yuan, a realization dawning on him.

"This guy's trying to dig his own grave," he thought to himself.

Guo Yuan didn't shy away from Zhang Heng's gaze; instead, he stared back and let out a smile.

"That's correct, it's from 1054," Su Meng confirmed.

The security guard then pulled up the surveillance footage from Room 105. A group of individuals dressed in black, leading a newcomer, came into view. The sound was particularly loud, given that it was a recording studio. Yet, in those brief ten minutes, not everything was clear.

"See, I told you. He was the one who started it," Zhang Heng boasted with a smug look.

"Could you rewind the video by 10 minutes, please?" Guo Yuan interjected.

Zhang Heng was momentarily puzzled. Why rewind the video by 10 minutes? Then it dawned on him: the kid wanted to figure out how he managed to move instantaneously. It made sense for a team leader to be so perceptive.

In the next moment, they watched as Zhang Heng reappeared behind Guo Yuan in just a few seconds.

"Please play the video at the slowest speed," Su Meng requested.

"Really? Does this miss want to join in on the excitement too?" Zhang Heng mused internally.

But to him, this was of no consequence. It wasn't as if they were uncovering some martial arts Secret Scripture; he had merely used a few simple tricks. His agility made it less of a concern if others witnessed his movements. He just hadn't anticipated Guo Yuan's clever use of the surveillance to observe his instantaneous movement.

On the monitor, several blue orbs flickered in and out of existence, and a dark mass also vanished abruptly, only to reappear instantaneously next to Xie Yuan.

"How is this possible? Are these blue orbs made of Spiritual Energy?" Su Meng inquired, visibly intrigued.

This was her first encounter with such phenomena, leaving her with a sense of wonder. Meanwhile, Guo Yuan appeared to be deep in thought.

"These blue entities must be Spiritual Energy, but what about this black mass? If it were teleportation, it would mean moving instantaneously from one place to another, which is typically quite difficult to achieve. And clearly, this isn't teleportation!" Guo Yuan pondered internally.

"Is that black shadow on the screen you?" Guo Yuan asked pointedly.
