Despite Alec's inner scream, "Don't come any closer!", Qin Su ultimately stood before him.

You can't hit a smiling face. Qin Su must be a decent person. Alec tried his best but couldn't turn around and leave. He had no choice but to use his usual social smile.

Seeing Alec's smiling face, Qin Su confirmed that after actually interacting with him, Alec was indeed as the data described—a good-tempered person.

Stopping at an appropriate distance, Qin Su first politely glanced at the rest of Class 66, then naturally looked away to meet Alec's gaze. He then sincerely apologized for any offense his classmates might have caused Alec and everyone in Class 66 by assuming he meant something out of thin air. "Thank you, you've worked hard."

The other students in Class 66 felt a chill run down their spines as Qin Su's cold gaze swept over them.

What did Qin Su mean by that cold look in his eyes? And he even told them they'd had a 'hard job'? Hmm... there's definitely something fishy going on!

With their guilty conscience about "bullying" Class 6 based on their experience, Alec thought about the same thing as his classmates. Upon hearing this, the upward curve of his mouth froze.

Qin Su's 'thank you' came out of nowhere, in a way that Alec had never expected. Alec's mind went blank for a moment, and he forgot to reply.

'You were very polite, but don't be so polite next time, it's creepy.'

During that nearly one hour, he could tell with his own feet that Class 6) was putting in all their effort to surpass them.

Unfortunately, they were thoroughly outmatched and thoroughly humiliated by the skilled workers.

Qin Su suddenly said "thank you" to him, and since his appearance, he had maintained a calm demeanor as if he knew everything that had happened in the previous hour...

Alec felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his whole being became clear in an instant. He was certain that Qin Su had taken an hour off because he had long anticipated what Qin Su would do to Class 6), and was afraid that Qin Su's presence would prevent him from taking action against Class 6).

Therefore, he specifically asked for an hour off so that he could do whatever he wanted to Class 6) during that hour.

Through this process of hardship, Class 6) will become aware of their weaknesses.

He knew it! How could Qin Su possibly be the way he thought, trying to intimidate him or being angry that he was late in replying to his message last night?

His perspective is too narrow.

Qin Su really went to great lengths for Class 6).

After pondering this in his mind, Alec inexplicably felt that although Class 6 lost, they had won the whole world, while they, although they won, seemed...

Don't make it seem like that.

Alec looked at Qin Su, whose dark eyes were coldly staring at him, and silently told himself, "Be confident, Alec. Just look at Qin Su's cold appearance now that he's back and looks like he's going to get back the face he lost (6). We've lost completely."

(Class 6: "..."

' The Class Monitor must be expressing gratitude to Class 66, successfully offending the students of Class 66. '

As the Class Monitor Class 6), Qin Su thanked the students of Class 6) for their recklessness, and then noticed that the smile on Alec's lips twitched a few times, and he did not seem to be responding to him.

Qin Su: "..."

It seems that the students misunderstood their intentions, which gave Class 66) a not-so-good impression of them.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have resisted their thanks even when they expressed their gratitude on behalf of Class 6), remaining silent and seemingly unwilling to accept it.

Qin Su sighed inwardly and made up his mind to work hard as soon as possible to change the image of Class 6 in the minds of the seniors in Class 66.

In the future... they will be spending a long time together, and if they don't get along well and harbor resentment, it will affect many things.

If they train together... the fastest way to get Class 66 to observe Class 6 is to let Class 66 see the serious and hardworking attitude of all the members of Class 6.

Buzz--

Alec was jolted awake by the reminder he had set on his personal Optical Brain, snapping him out of his reverie. He suddenly realized he hadn't yet responded to Qin Su's meaningful "thank you," and awkwardly muttered, "It's not that bad..."

Seven seconds later, Qin Su finally heard the response from the Class Monitor of Class 66. Qin Su's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was relieved. He was certain that Alec was a decent person. Even though he was unwilling, he only took seven seconds to represent Class 66 and decide to maintain the superficial harmony between the two classes.

After speaking, Alec quickly and evaded Qin Su's intense gaze, turning to his classmates and calling out, "Time's up, assemble!"

Qin Su: "!"

Here comes the opportunity to express our stance.

Qin Su didn't waste a second and turned to look at the students in Class 6).

(Class 6 had already developed a conditioned reflex-like muscle memory for Qin Su's every move and glance.

With just one glance from Qin Su, they instantly understood that Qin Su meant they were not allowed to lose to Class 66) in any aspect, not even the simplest assembly.

(Class 6 blinked faster than they thought, and lined up neatly.

Qin Su was pleased with himself.

The students, having worked with him for so long, understood his meaning without him needing to say much.

Qin Su firmly remembered the rules announced by the Class Advisor. Now it was up to Alec, the class Class Monitor of Class 66, to decide. He quickly stood in the empty leftmost position in the first row, which was habitually given up by his classmates.

Facing Class 66 6: "..."

'Even their assembly speed is much faster than before Qin Su arrived; it's a provocation, and their intentions are clearly hostile.'

The students of Class 66) gathered silently. Even though they had previously won against Class 6) based on their experience, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous this time because Qin Su was there.

After speaking to his own class, Alec took a couple of seconds to catch his breath from the suffocation. He turned around, mentally preparing himself, to speak to Class 6). He saw that the entire Class 6) had silently assembled without him needing to say a word, their eyes fixed on him. He almost twisted his neck.

"..."

Yake Li felt like a lizard in the desert during the day, constantly shifting its left and right legs on the scorching hot sand, unable to stand still.

Swallowing hard, Alec recalled that Qin Su had been gone an hour earlier. Even though he knew Qin Su had guessed what had happened during that hour, he dutifully repeated everything he had said before.

After finishing, as usual, I reiterated the identification areas, procedures, and rules for various materials and sent them to the two shifts' group chat.

After doing all this, Alec said finally, "We'll begin in three minutes."

Aside from his own professional knowledge, Alec really didn't know what he, as a senior, could teach to Class 6).

Fortunately, judging from Class 6's performance in the first round, Class 66 still has something to teach Class 6.

Before that, he planned to follow the training method the teachers used after he chose his major, which meant that he didn't need to be taught anything in detail at first. Instead, he would spend a week doing random picking and Transport work every day to gain a certain understanding of different material identification systems and processes before he would receive more detailed instruction.

From Alec's words, Qin Su roughly guessed what had happened before. After Alec asked Class 6 to form their own groups, Qin Su quickly organized the groups in less than a minute according to the rules Alec released. He had adjusted the strength focus table of Class 6 students' strength table several times over time based on the changes in his own strength and the growth of his classmates' strength. He then posted the group list in the Class 6 chat.

Alec was in Class 6). Since Class 66) had a 'bad record' before, Qin Su deliberately downplayed his position Class Monitor in Class 6) with remorse. He only handed out the group assignment list and did not say a word.

The students were precisely divided into groups based on their memory, speed of operating the Warship via the Optical Brain, reaction speed, physical fitness, and other factors.

Make sure every student is in their assigned area and position later.

As for whether they could defeat Class 66), Qin Su had not personally witnessed Class (66)'s performance in training and actual Purge, and dared not make a judgment at that moment.

He just wants to make sure that Class 66 sees their serious and effective efforts to the greatest extent possible, even if he doesn't say a word from now until the end.

After the group assignments were completed, Qin Su took advantage of the time before the work began to carefully and silently memorize the areas he would be working on later, in order to avoid getting stuck when searching for them, which would be inconsistent with his usual persona.

(Class 6 saw the group list posted by their Class Monitor, they easily discovered that Qin Su's group was completely different from theirs.

With the thought that 'they don't need to understand Qin Su's orders in an emergency, just follow the instructions,' Class 6) quickly repositioned themselves according to their groups, each looking at their assigned post.

Although Class 6) did poorly in the first round, they had gained some basic experience from the first round. Before the second round even started, they subconsciously started to recall everything they could remember about their 'job' based on their previous experience, according to their group.

The grouping changes of Class 6) were noticed by Class 66). The grouping was completely different from the first time, which made Class 66) feel a sense of crisis.

The time allotted by Alec quickly came to an end, and each group from both classes took their positions.

(Class 6) Under Qin Su's guidance, each student in Class 6 was assigned a suitable 'position' and, having gained experience from the first round, felt that it was completely different from the first round.

Qin Su's presence put them in an unprecedentedly tense state. With their minds completely focused, they received only the instructions given by Alec. Unlike the first time, when they were doing their work while watching what the people in Class 66 were moving faster than them.

Focusing on themselves and in positions more suited to their abilities, even though they were still not very familiar with the process and their movements were occasionally clumsy, their speed was much faster than before.

The students of Class 6, who all wanted to perform well under Qin Su's watchful eye, were focused on completing the instructions they received and had no time to consider their surroundings.

They didn't even realize that they had surpassed the speed of Class 66 in terms of Transport.

Qin Su could teleport even Warships, so Transport were no problem for him. Now, Class 66 had a bad impression of Class 6. Qin Su did not assign himself to the Transport group, so as not to cause Class 66 to become more dissatisfied with Class 6 because of his fast teleportation speed.

Therefore, they were assigned to the memory group, which was a group that received a random list of supplies needed by the 'front line' and had to find them as quickly as possible.

In the vast warehouse filled with all kinds of large and small machines, Qin Su stepped on the acceleration energy shoes assigned by the memory group, his figure moving freely and quickly among the cold machines, constantly changing locations according to instructions. At the same time, he secretly took advantage of the opportunity to observe the reactions and speeds of the seniors in Class 66) who were in the same group as him.

When he was certain that he hadn't lost to them and that he had gained the advantage of speed, thus getting ahead of them, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Even in a job like searching for supplies, which isn't as obvious as Transport, his skills still stand out.

In order to maintain his condition, Qin Su temporarily immersed himself in his work, focusing nine-tenths of his mind on himself and only sparing a little attention from the outside world to ensure that there were no abnormalities among the students in Class 6).

Once you find the items you need, you don't need to carry them yourself. Just input the quantity and instructions in your mind, and the warehouse machine will automatically deliver them to the sorting and transport vehicle that follows you.

From the perspective of Class 66), all that could be seen was Qin Su rapidly shuttling between different warehouses without looking to the side. The sorting and transport vehicle behind him was always the fastest to leave the Supply Warehouse.

While the other students in Class 6) were not as fast as Qin Su, it was clearly visible to the naked eye that they were much faster than the first time.

Later on, they even seemed to be subtly surpassing them.

In particular, Class 6) delivered the collected supplies to the front line faster than Class 66).

The situation reversed, and Class 66) was inevitably affected in terms of mentality. When the first game ended, Class 66) found that, based on the two sets of data released by Alec, they ultimately lost to Class 6) in terms of the combined data.

'You guessed right, Qin Su was indeed ill-intentioned.'

'A superficial thank you, but a real provocation.'

The students in Class 66 all looked constipated. Class 6's victory, which gave them an extra semester of training compared to Class 6, seemed like a joke.

They are shameful now, extremely shameful.

But...

They didn't quite understand why, even though it was the same group of people, Class 6) had completely different grades before and after Qin Su.

(Class 6 students hide their strength from them beforehand? Or... did Qin Su's completely different group assignment from the first time play a key role in this?

If it's the latter...

If they remembered correctly, Qin Su only used a glance and in less than a minute, he silently divided Class 6) into groups.

The students in Class 66) who thought about this felt a chill run down their spines.

Qin Su had a terrifyingly deep understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of each student in Class 6).

(Class 6... is that the data Qin Su has?!

Thinking about this, most of the students in Class 66 glanced at Qin Su, their eyes filled with a complex mix of shock, admiration, emotion, embarrassment, and indignation.

And...

Judging from Qin Su's indifferent gaze fixed on the grades, he seemed quite dissatisfied with Class 6)'s results.

(Class 66: "..."

As expected of a top student, their standards are truly high. If they can achieve this result on their first... no, second time, the teacher will be all smiles.

When the students in Class 6 saw the results, their initial shock was no less than that of the students in Class 66. Soon after, a surge of joy welled up in their hearts, and their eyes subconsciously looked expectantly in the direction where Qin Su was.

Standing on the slope, the students of Class 6 saw Qin Su 'Qin Su expressionless profile and could not tell whether he was happy or unhappy with their performance. They only knew that Qin Su looked at their grades without saying a word.

Unable to figure it out, (Class 6, you poked my arm and I pinched your thigh, using each other's facial features to suggest things, forcibly restrained arrogance and impatience, and tried hard to control the upward corners of their mouths.

Each student stared at their grades, pondering whether Qin Su was naturally averse to smiling, or if their current results were simply not satisfactory to Qin Su.

[Class 6): With our Class Monitor, we are invincible!]

[Boss 1's move reveals their skill]

[Class 6): Revenge plan successful √]

[Qin Su: (Class 6, only I can bully him (indifferent face)]

Upon seeing the final result, Qin Su secretly Optical Brain to take pictures and record the data being projected, while secretly being shocked.

"?!"

Oh no! He only wanted to show Class 6 66 attitude, but he never expected that the students in Class 6 would take it too seriously and leave Class 66 far behind.

Qin Su observed the expressions of Class 66 without making a sound and found that they did not look very good.

"..."

Qin Su knew that under normal circumstances, according to the world's settings for each gender, Alphas would generally have a higher physique than Betas and Omegas. He also knew that in Class 66), Betas made up 70% of the class, while Class 6), which was not divided into classes, had significantly more Alphas than Class 66).

However, Qin Su did not expect that even though Class 66) had experience after a semester of training, it still lost to Class 6) due to a combination of factors. He overestimated the experience and underestimated the potential of Class 6).

The question is, how should he tell Class 66 that this isn't the outcome he wanted?

'Don't misunderstand, our Class 6 didn't do it on purpose.'

I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to turn out this way either.

'We just want you to see the attitude of our Class 6.'

'I just wanted to salvage some goodwill.'

Countless thoughts flashed through Qin Su's mind, but at this moment, as the Class Monitor of Class 6, whatever he said would be seen as a provocation by Class 66, and Class 66's impression of them would plummet.

Even though he really didn't mean it that way.

It would be better to remain silent and let Class 66) adjust their mindset on their own for the time being.

Qin Su remained silent, secretly thinking that he had to find a way to salvage the situation and save Class 6), which had been on the verge of collapse and had been reduced to ruins under his control.

Wait a moment...

Thinking about it this way, doesn't it mean that all his efforts, though seemingly impressive, failed to achieve his goal and instead resulted in his classmates losing points in their impression of him?

Qin Su: "..."

No wonder that after the results came out, not only did the Class 66) keep looking at him with indescribable eyes, but he also kept noticing the frequent stares from his classmates behind him.

Alec was mentally prepared and found that he accepted the outcome more easily than he had imagined.

'Oh, it's Qin Su. It's alright then.' This thought crossed his mind, and he realized that he had an incredibly strong ability to accept losing to a lower-ranked student.

Unable to treat Qin Su, and only able to treat himself, Alec secretly used his power to announce that the second round, second match would begin ahead of schedule.

However...

Whether it was the second game or the third game... until the last game this morning, Class 6) did not win against Class 66) even once because Qin Su did not show any signs of easing after any game ended. Instead, his aura became colder and colder. Class 6) tried even harder, which caused his mentality to collapse.

The bell rang at noon, Alec resisted the urge to pinch his philtrum, staring at the public screen displaying today's summary for a long time, unable to come back to his senses.

This isn't a summary; it's clearly a public execution.

And Qin Su...

Alec hadn't forgotten that Qin Su's face hadn't shown the slightest satisfaction despite Class 6's excellence. Perhaps it was just his imagination, but Qin Su's brows seemed slightly furrowed.

Alec didn't understand, just how many outstanding students in Class 6) would Qin Su be satisfied with?

Qin Su: "..."

It's over. Now, what can he do to salvage the impression Class 66 has of them?

(Class 66: ""

I'm tired. Maybe we should just destroy it!

(Class 6: "!"

As expected of the Class Monitor, with just a slight adjustment to the group assignments, they were like tigers with wings, standing tall and proud.

(Class 6 stood behind Qin Su and immediately felt that their backs and legs no longer hurt. Although they did not stand tall and proud, under Qin Su's arrangement, their sense of pride and satisfaction, which they had avenged, emanated from within and could not be concealed.

Overwhelmed by the blow, Alec, who could no longer smile, decided from today onwards that he was inherently averse to laughter. He forced a smile and said, "Let's call it a day... We'll call it a day at 2 PM... then dismissed."

"Receive!"

"Good..."

"Yes!"

"Oh..."

Among countless sounds, the high notes that Class 6 couldn't suppress were so distinct.

Qin Su: "..."

Currently, only the 499 People in Class 6) besides themselves have achieved the goal of being happy.

"Senior Alec, wait a minute." Qin Su secretly took a few deep breaths, called out to Alec who was about to leave, and decided to make one last desperate attempt.
