The head counsellor soon barged in, alongside security escorts, and broke up the fight.
Yu Yuanxi was bruised across his face and all over his body. He looked like he was about to charge and bite, judging by the resentment in his eyes and air of inauspiciousness in his body language.
The remaining few had it worse than him. Crying in pain, they complained to the head counsellor that Yu Yuanxi hit first.
The head counsellor was livid. The school's outstanding students, intending to enter the Chinese Mathematical Olympiad, were caught in a fight. The head counsellor pointed at the people in the classroom. "Tell me, who pulled the first punch?"
Everyone in the class unanimously turned to Yu Yuanxi.
"Teacher." Raising her hand, Shen Xi stood up. "I can bear witness that Yu Yuanxi started the fight."
Emotionally, Yu Yuanxi was about to lose it.
Shen Xi's words were the straw that broke a camel's back.
