Chapter 126

While everyone was talking, their eyes were fixed on Alec; no one looked at Qin Su.

They haven't reached the point of losing their minds due to discontent; they know perfectly well who is furry and easy to manipulate.

Relying on Qin Su, the Alec man stepped out of the line with righteous indignation and asked the others, "Why not?"

Qin Su could have easily refused his request and ignored his life or death. Their chosen profession offered them maximum safety, and they even received a share of the combat squad's kill count. Although they only received one-fifth, it was something they had earned by risking their lives in danger. They didn't mind being scolded by the combat squad.

Since Qin Su is now willing to help him, which means helping Class 66), he, who should be responsible, naturally cannot let the fire be directed at Qin Su, and naturally has to stand up and explain clearly.

Although...

Judging from the current situation, it seems that everyone's firepower has never been directed at Qin Su, but rather at him, the culprit. Therefore, he has to stand up for himself and let Qin Su see his attitude.

Alec showed a rare display of toughness, slightly different from the Class of 25 cohort, who were Training Ground.

The speaker was Alec. After two seconds of surprise, he launched into a series of questions.

"No, is that even a question?"

"Shouldn't you say you have the nerve to ask? Didn't you read the rules carefully? Isn't it obvious? Why should someone else do your job?"

"Stop!" Alec interrupted the chatter, raising his hand to make a shushing gesture, his voice even louder than before, "You guys didn't study the rules carefully, did you?"

"The rules state that lower-grade classes should obey higher-grade classes. The higher-grade Class Monitor is the overall commander of both classes, and lower-grade classes must unconditionally obey my orders. My orders are..."

Remembering that Qin Su's name would follow, Alec's voice weakened slightly, but he feigned seriousness. "I ordered Qin Su to be in charge of training two classes. Qin Su was just following my... orders. Tell me."

Alec slammed the back of his right hand onto his left palm, then swept his gaze across the other classes. "Which part went wrong?"

"In my opinion, you're all out of your minds; you can't even understand such simple logic."

Other classes. "...???"

That seems to make sense.

The previously noisy crowd fell silent instantly, exchanging glances with mixed feelings.

When they saw the rules, they did think of this aspect, but... but they didn't expect that Alec, the Class Monitor who was so easily manipulated, would dare to order Qin Su, and Qin Su would actually accept it?

That's absolutely unbelievable!

This differed from their imagination of Qin Su, based on numerous rumors they had heard. They believed Qin Su was arrogant and would not tolerate being told what to do. Both the Fourth Military Academy and the Federation had been punished to varying degrees for targeting Qin Su.

The others remained silent. Alec looked at Qin Su, meeting Qin Su's calm and indifferent eyes, unsure whether his performance had satisfied Qin Su.

Qin Su remained silent, so Alec assumed Qin Su was satisfied and turned to the others who were also silent, asking, "Any more questions?"

"..."

The scene was deathly silent.

That's true, but... they still couldn't accept it. When the rules were made, the school must have thought, ' Alec wouldn't dare, and Qin Su wouldn't listen,' but who knew things would turn out so unexpectedly.

"If you don't have anything, what are you even watching us for?" Alec shouted. "How are you going to compensate us for delaying Qin Su's training for both of our classes?"

In short, the other classes, dissatisfied yet unable to find fault, were resentful, and dispersed because of Alec's 'intimidation'.

Qin Su: "..."

They are prone to using someone else's power to intimidate others.

"I don't understand why Qin Su is giving Alec face."

"Who isn't?"

"Is it because recently, when we were criticizing Class 66 on the Forum, someone took the opportunity to criticize Class 6, and Qin Su saw it? Is Qin Su targeting us because of Class 6? Is he trying to show us that Class 66, which we look down on, is going to prove us wrong?"

"What are you thinking? How could Qin Su possibly be reading Forums? Do you think Qin Su is like us, idle all day long, like a badger in a melon patch, gossiping and stirring up trouble?"

"That's impossible, but don't forget, there's also that group of people in Class 6 who live online all the time. If each of them says something to Qin Su, he'll know."

"Holy crap, that's definitely it! Why are those tattletales from Class 6 still coming to Qin Su? Can't they handle this?"

"Keep your voice down, you want to die?"

"What are we doing? Digging our own grave and burying ourselves?"

"Damn it, I shouldn't have made sarcastic remarks about Class 66 on the Forum out of jealousy. Waaah, I can't imagine how badly we'll be compared to Class 66 after the actual battle, with Qin Su around."

The students from the other classes dispersed, but they were all seething with anger. They discussed the incident and almost unanimously believed that the bloodshed was caused by their own jealousy.

[When Qin Su hadn't taken over the training, they were very vocal in their complaints. Now that Qin Su has unexpectedly taken over, they're unhappy again. Tsk tsk, these people are really hard to please. (covers mouth and chuckles)]

[I can attest that Class 6) did not report this to the Boss 1.]

[ (Class 6: I don't know what's wrong with me today, my back feels so heavy (scratching head)]

Qin Su ignored the occasional glances from those around him. He saw from the comments that Class 6) had been unfairly blamed. He thought to himself, "If you're not from the same class, you're not in the same class. From the Class Monitor to the other members, Class (6) has found its own unfair accusation." He then deliberately spoke in a serious and cold voice, "Everyone, run twenty laps until you finish."

Since today is the first time that the students of Class 66 have run at such a high intensity, he will not set a time limit for the time being.

The intensity of the training doesn't matter, as long as he has a bad temper, they'll dare not speak out and come to him.

As long as he doesn't hear the dance in front of him, he doesn't get scolded. He wants to let Class 66 know that once the arrow is released, there's no turning back.

Based on yesterday's observations, Class 66) is far behind Class 6) in terms of overall physical fitness.

With only two weeks left before the actual training exercise, he had to be ruthless if he wanted the two classes to cooperate smoothly.

"How many?"

"Twenty laps?"

"Could it be... this running track in front of us?"

"Devil!"

Do we deserve to be treated like this?

Qin Su's first order left Class 66 stunned. This was simply... treating them like they weren't human?

"Receive!"

"Yes!"

The resounding reply from Class 6) drowned out the astonished murmurs from Class 66). Qin Su, like a thief in the dark, pretended not to hear them chirping and acted as if he were cold-hearted.

(Class 6 doesn't care how (Class 66 feels when they hear Qin Su's order. From the moment Qin Su stands in front, they will unconditionally obey all of Qin Su's instructions. After receiving Qin Su's order, they will quickly move onto the track and start running.

Qin Su did not enter the track. According to the mentality of Class 6), today is the first time they have trained with Class 66) according to their own requirements. In order not to lose face, they will definitely go all out in front of Class 66).

And myself...

Without Pheromones, he's not a true Alpha. Without using 'technology', he can no longer rely on experience to win against He Muzhi, who is now going all out.

In the current safe situation, he didn't want to use 'technology'. He could only take advantage of the 'command authority' that Alec had given him, stand by the track with an expressionless face, and secretly observe the strength of the two squad members. No one would think anything was amiss.

When the students from Class 66 6 them rushing onto the track, Qin Su looked at them coldly. Despite his resistance, he dared not linger and entered the track one after another.

Watching the students from Class 66 bypass him and enter the track, Qin Su: "..."

The "cold shoulder" strategy was successful.

Qin Su walked to a high stool not far from the track and sat down, mainly staring at the figures of the students in Class 66 on the track. He silently opened the strength ranking list of Class 66 that he had edited before, and opened a separate page in it to observe carefully.

From the start of the semester until the end of the first semester, his observation of Class 6) never stopped. The data was sorted by time. Compared to Class 6), the list of strengths of Class 66), which he was currently focusing on, only had a few pages.

(Class 66 wanted to talk, but they soon found that Qin Su's cold gaze followed them closely, making them afraid to chat while running. (Class 6 members were like they had been injected with chicken blood. Aside from the Alphas who had a natural advantage in physical strength, the Omegas and Betas all ran as fast as the wind.

This shattered their understanding of Omega and beta.

As a senior class, Class 66) should theoretically have more experience in all aspects than Class 6), who is a junior class. However, the current Class 6) has aroused their competitive spirit, and they have unconsciously quickened their pace.

Seeing that Class 66) was gradually getting into the swing of things under the guidance of Class 6), Qin Su was secretly pleased that this was a good start.

Not only Class 66), but everyone else, including the Viewers who post comments, will soon see that after training, Class 6)' s Omega and Beta are also outstanding. Class 66) may be inspired by Class 6).

Even though Class 6 semester, creating a trend of early morning training, not many people persisted for a long time.

When the news spread that the person in charge of Class 66) and Class 6) had been changed from Alec to Qin Su, the Training Ground, which was originally sparsely populated, became a sea of people when the two classes started running.

At first, the other classes at the same venue thought it was just an ordinary morning training session.

People from other classes joined in, while others watched.

It wasn't until they saw He Muzhi Class 6 finish running twenty laps on the track in front of Qin Su, his Training Uniform soaked with sweat, and walking briskly toward Qin Su that they realized something was wrong.

Twenty laps?!

"You didn't miscount, did you?"

"It was indeed twenty laps, I counted them too."

"He Muzhi is a double S-level Alpha, so this level of exercise is understandable. But what about the other Betas and Omegas...? Most of the Class 66 are Betas, can they even keep up with that?"

"I don't know, but I do know that based on the current situation, whether they are betas or omegas, Class 6) can definitely finish the race..."

"Were the other students in Class 6) this good too?"

"I wonder if Alec regrets making the decision to have Qin Su train him."

"Qin Su is really ruthless. There are so many weak people in Class 66, but Qin Su didn't show any mercy at all. He really has the heart to do it."

After finishing the race first, He Muzhi felt a little better. Given Qin Su's high expectations from the previous semester, and the fact that their entire class had been working and moving around at the Funeral Home during the holidays, his physical fitness hadn't declined much, but it was still a bit worse than his peak performance from the previous semester.

His pace was already a bit slow, and as He Muzhi walked towards Qin Su, he tried his best to control his breathing, hoping not to be panting so heavily when he stood in front of Qin Su, lest he appear weak and ineffective.

"Reporting, Class Monitor, the 20 laps are over." He Muzhi was as happy as he had hoped, and when he arrived in front of Qin Su, he wasn't even out of breath when he spoke.

"Okay, take a rest."

Qin Su spoke casually, seemingly unconcerned, but inwardly he felt envious.

As expected of Interstellar People, and as expected of the protagonist, his physical abilities are truly formidable. In just one semester, he completed twenty laps around such a large and long track without even breaking a sweat, surpassing the arduous training that Earthlings undergo over countless years.

"Yes."

He Muzhi thought for a moment and glanced at the other students on the track.

'I was so focused on running that I didn't have time to check how many laps my classmates had run. I wonder if the spot next to Qin Su will be taken when he goes to change into his Training Uniform?'

If I sit down now, will the Pheromones from the alcohol on me bother Qin Su?

After hesitating for a few seconds, He Muzhi left the crowd and headed towards the Changing Room.

'He was covered in sweat and had a faint scent of Pheromones; it would be strange for him to be close to Qin Su.'

[The protagonist is actually quite conscious of his personal image and hygiene in front of the Boss 1?]

[So, He Muzhi was standing so far away because he was afraid of offending Qin Su with the smell? I'm speechless! (stunned)]

[(Takes out a notebook and starts taking notes) Step N to becoming the main character: Pay attention to personal hygiene in front of the big shots (nods seriously)]

[He Muzhi's innermost thoughts in front of Qin Su made me, the carefree wanderer of the martial arts world, laugh so hard!]

"..."

Qin Su didn't quite understand what He Muzhi was doing at first, but the comments section quickly answered his question.

Knowing the truth, Qin Su dared not laugh, because he had been through the same thing; he and He Muzhi were equally matched.

When He Muzhi came out of the Changing Room after changing into a brand new Training Uniform, he saw that the spot not far from Qin Su was empty. Feeling great, he sat down and followed Qin Su's gaze to the track.

Qin Su didn't say it, but Qin Su must have been observing the performance of every student in Class 6) and Class 66).

The students in Class 6 who were still on the track clearly saw He Muzhi's every move and silently remembered it.

Before long, Sophia Jeffrey and the other Alphas finished running, doing exactly the same thing as He Muzhi.

After that, the other students in Class 6) followed suit and copied it exactly.

Qin Su: "..."

As expected of the studious students of Class 6, they didn't care about anything else and just focused on learning whatever they wanted, regardless of whether it was useful or not. They always left him speechless.

Although the students in Class 66) did not finish the race, they had already understood it.

'After you finish running, remember to upgrade your equipment when you get to Qin Su!'

'Although I don't understand the reasoning behind it, everyone in Class 6 did it, so it must be right.'

Qin Su did not set a time limit. The students in Class 66 saw that apart from the students who were usually at the top and finished running with Class 6, most of the other students were not even as good as the beta and Omega students in Class 6. They felt ashamed and were forced to finish running twenty laps under Qin Su's unhurried but cold gaze.

Even the group from Class 66 who finished last followed He Muzhi's initial approach, first reporting to Qin Su before heading to the Changing Room to change into their Training Uniforms.

Two whole hours had passed, and it was one thing for Class 6) to do this, but Class 66) also seemed to be doing it quite skillfully. Students from other classes who skipped class to watch were left wondering about the meaning of life.

"No... is there something wrong with them here?" The person speaking pointed to their head.

"I think the problem lies with you. Isn't it obvious? This is clearly Qin Su's strict requirement for them—they must be hygienic."

"Is hygiene really that important? Even if you're exhausted, you have to crawl into the Changing Room to change?"

"Is it possible that the people in Class 6 knew Qin Su didn't like sloppy people, so they did this?"

Amidst the various speculations from the crowd, Qin Su gave everyone half an hour to rest, then stood up and said to the two classes, "Follow me."

Qin Su stood at the very front. As was customary, Class 6) assumed that He Muzhi would stand in the front row of their team, with Alec on either side of Qin Su.

A delicate slit was maintained between the two classes.

Qin Su was in front, and none of them wanted to be at the back of the line. Being on either side of each other meant that neither of them would gain an advantage, which was the only acceptable way for them.

Led by Qin Su, Class 6) arrived at the weapons training ground, a place they were very familiar with, their eyes shining with eagerness.

(Class 66 didn't quite understand. The weapons looked familiar to them, but they hadn't used most of them in a long time.

When Qin Su asked them to undergo three hours of training like Class 6), a voice rang out from the crowd.

"Shouldn't we be focusing on improving physical fitness and the reaction speed of the Optical Brain connection? Those are the things Class 6 should be doing. Shouldn't we be doing something else?"

Qin Su looked at the person who spoke, and after reciting the name, he accurately called out the other person's name, "Yu Lin".

Hearing his name suddenly called out by Qin Su, Beta, who was hiding in the back row of Class 66, froze, cursing himself for not being able to control his mouth, and forced an embarrassed smile, "... Here."

Yu Lin felt a mix of trepidation and delight that Qin Su actually knew his name.

The other students in Class 66 did the same, unconsciously turning their heads to look at Yu Lin. In their hearts, they subconsciously thought it would be surprising for a big shot like Qin Su to call out the name of an ordinary person like Yu Lin.

During their time together yesterday, they subconsciously assumed that Qin Su only knew their Class Monitor Alec.

Yu Lin, a beta who exudes an ordinary aura no matter how you look at him, is not from Class 6, has an average appearance, and his abilities are even less noteworthy. Why would Qin Su want to know him?

Many students in Class 66 couldn't understand it, but that didn't stop them from feeling envious of Yu Lin.

Although Yu Lin was apprehensive, he couldn't help but feel a surge of goodwill towards Qin Su because Qin Su remembered his name, a feeling completely different from his previous goodwill towards Qin Su's "big boss" aura.

"Why do you say that?" Qin Su's tone was flat, as if he were simply asking a question.

Although he could probably guess why, and knew that most of the students in Class 66 probably thought the same as Yu Lin.

He needs to take this opportunity to publicly deny this idea.

Yu Lin swallowed hard, his voice dry, and said, "Because... as everyone knows, our specialty is transporting supplies, and we chose this Transport -the-scenes profession because of our physical abilities and strength. Combat... shouldn't be anything to do with us, right?"

As expected, Qin Su shifted his gaze from Yu Lin to the others (66), and asked in return, "Who said it has nothing to do with you?"

He even came up with a ranking of the strength of Class 66). After his observation, he found that there were many people in Class 66) with stronger physical qualities than those in Class 6).

In his plan, although someone was to Transport weapons, who said that the people Transport weapons had to be from Class 66? And that the fighting had to be from Class 6? Couldn't it be based on strength and each person's strengths?

(Class 6 who are interested in this major and have the necessary abilities can also take this opportunity to experience it in depth.

Moreover, everyone has a foundation from the two semesters of school. In order to maximize the combined benefits of all personnel in actual combat, two weeks is enough time for the part of Class 66) that he needs to fight to become familiar with actual combat again.

"Oh, this..."

Qin Su's words plunged the students of Class 66 into an eerie silence. They looked at each other, and in the end, only one thought remained in their minds, "Can we do it?"

When they chose this major, they never imagined this day would come. Because they weren't very confident, they vaguely felt that Qin Su was forcing them, and their eyes involuntarily turned to their Class Monitor Alec.

According to the rules, Alec can retract his orders and end this.

Qin Su's gaze also fell on Alec, and he deliberately narrowed his eyes.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Alec felt increasing psychological pressure. He hadn't forgotten that he was the one who begged Qin Su to take over the training of two classes. If he betrayed Qin Su now, how would that be any different from stabbing him in the back?

The longer the time drags on, the more unforeseen changes will occur. To achieve his goal, Qin Su knew he was despicable, but he wouldn't give Alec much time to consider. He wanted to show Class 66 what it meant to invite a god but not to send him away. He knew it wouldn't be so easy to make him give up what he had already obtained. He asked directly and coldly, "Do you have any objections to my arrangements?"
