Chapter 127
Upon seeing Qin Su's sudden cold and stern expression, Alec immediately shook his head vigorously, shouting without a second's hesitation, "No, no, I would never have!"
The students from Class 6) turned their heads aggressively to look at the students from Class 66) in the next group. Even if the other party was a senior, what did a senior mean in front of Qin Su? They would never allow anyone to disobey Qin Su's orders.
(Class 66: "..."
Can the Class Monitor be a little more... Never mind, the people in Class 66 who avoided eye contact with Qin Su realized that they were also useless, and decided that the second brother would not talk about the eldest brother.
Qin Su: "..."
Killing them? There's no need for such bloodshed.
Having achieved his goal, Qin Su withdrew his gaze, maintaining his 'cold' facade, and looked at He Muzhi, calling his name: "He Muzhi."
"Arrive."
He Muzhi stepped forward, his red eyes gleaming with anticipation.
'Sure enough, striving for first place is effective; otherwise, why would Qin Su be the first one called out out of 499 People in Class 6?'
Qin Su's gaze naturally fell upon the students of Class 66), and he began calling out names, "Alec, Zhao Kuan, Wei Jin, Zhou Lingzhi, Wells..."
Qin Su called out the names of ten students from Class 66 in a row.
With He Muzhi leading the way, the students in Class 66 whose names were called were nervous but quickly replied "Received" and stepped out of the class line.
Their minds were buzzing with the thought that 'Qin Su remembers their names,' when they heard Qin Su's voice again.
After taking attendance at the top ten of the ranking list he had created for Class 66, Qin Su thought to himself that he couldn't bully people too much, so he stopped taking attendance and looked at He Muzhi: "You will be in charge of these ten people next."
Before Qin Su could explain the specific rules for their responsibilities, He Muzhi nodded in agreement, "Okay!"
Qin Su looked away. "Sophia, (Class 66 Liu Zhen, Tabitha..."
Class 66) had more students than Class 6), so they could have one-on-one tutoring and so on... Class 6) didn't have enough students, so they could only have one-on-many students like He Muzhi who had strong overall abilities.
Qin Su didn't know what kind of training Halton had given He Muzhi in private, but judging from He Muzhi's performance in running alone, it didn't meet Qin Su's requirements for updating the strength table data.
Now, he could take this opportunity to analyze and examine the extent to which He Muzhi's strength had grown.
Besides He Muzhi, he also arranged for Sophia Jeffrey and others from Class 6) who ranked high in overall strength to play against one-on-many opponents.
The students in Class 66 whom he specifically mentioned, like Alec and others, all possessed considerable strength within Class 66.
Qin Su took five minutes to call out and arrange the people.
After listening, the students of Class 66 looked at the person in charge of them. Their initial resistance had disappeared, replaced by confusion about Qin Su's arrangements.
Qin Su didn't give them much of a chance to react, and continued in a cold voice:
The remaining two class members will each find their own teammates freely according to the one-on-one rule, with a time limit of three minutes.
"Three minutes later, and five minutes later, everyone changed into the special combat suits for the shooting range and entered the cubicle with their teammates."
To prevent innocent bystanders from being injured while students practice their accuracy with various weapons, half of the vast shooting range was divided into numerous spaces by transparent bulletproof material.
Different types of weapons are suspended in the transparent interlayers around the walls of each space, making it convenient for students inside to access them.
"The losers from each group will have two extra hours of training from 8 PM to 10 PM."
"Start."
He Muzhi's mood index soared. Without needing to find his teammates, he slipped into the Changing Room and happily shared with his friends the special treatment Qin Su gave him.
[He Muzhi: Of everyone, I'm the only one with ten opponents. No one else has as many as me. The Class Monitor personally picked them out for me. Who knows how valuable that is?]
[Lailisi: (Heh heh) (smiles) (slaps him across the face)]
[Samuel: Congratulations! (fireworks)]
[Lin Yin:... Is it possible that Qin Su thinks you're asking for a beating?]
[He Muzhi: This is clearly the Class Monitor's affirmation of me (smiles)]
At Qin Su's command, the students of Class 66 tensed up and looked at their teammates from Class 6 who had been eyeing them.
They lost to Class 6 in the lap race. They lost! If word got out, they'd lose all face.
Having worked together for a week, the two classes were quite familiar with each other. In less than three minutes, they had confirmed that they were in the same group, and then they dispersed and quickly went to the Changing Room to change into their specially made Combat Suit.
Once out of Qin Su's sight, the students of Class 66, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn't wait to start playing with crickets in the Changing Room.
"Doesn't the school have any objections to Qin Su treating us like this? Aren't they afraid that Qin Su will lead our perfectly good Transport class astray? I even strongly suspect that in Qin Su's mind, a Transport soldier who only knows Transport isn't a good combat soldier?"
"More than that, I'm concerned about why the Class Monitor and his group are facing multiple opponents, while we're... one-on-one? In Qin Su's mind, are He Muzhi and his group really that strong? Wait, shooting is usually a competition, He Muzhi is fighting ten people by himself? Something feels off to me."
"Who cares? It's just a shooting accuracy contest. I... even though I haven't practiced in a while, I'm still a high-level player. Be confident, I'm not that bad. Just shoot the bullseye, that's it."
"That's right, we have plenty... never mind, I can't comfort you anymore. I observed the people Qin Su assigned to us while we were running. Every single one of them was the first to finish. The ones who ran twenty laps straight and didn't seem tired at all have a much higher chance of hitting the bullseye than us."
Alec listened to his classmates' chatter but didn't join in. The mere thought of the name 'Qin Su' gave him a bad feeling.
I had a feeling that things weren't that simple.
When the five minutes were up, Alec, who was in the same room as He Muzhi and nine other classmates, heard Qin Su's cold voice coming over the loudspeaker, and his premonition came true.
Qin Su: "The weapon boxes on the wall will randomly refresh every ten minutes. For the next three hours, please pick up the weapons from the randomly opened weapon boxes on the wall and attack each other as a class."
One point is awarded for each successful hit on the opponent.
"Ten seconds Countdown."
For training to be effective, the weapons must be fundamental; otherwise, the targets will not be.
Qin Su pretended not to see the ugly expressions on the faces of the students from Class 66 after they were tricked into the cubicles and realized they were about to bury them. He coldly and ruthlessly cosplayed as a countdown machine. "Ten, nine..."
The walls between the cubicles are also transparent, so as long as your vision is far enough away, you can clearly see the other person's reaction.
"W-what?"
This is completely different from what Class 66 had guessed in the Changing Room.
In their previous shooting practice, they targeted both stationary and moving targets. Why would they target people? This isn't a simulated battlefield where the enemy is being simulated as an insect, but the person they're facing is a living, breathing person they know. How could they possibly bring themselves to shoot them?
(Class 66 looked bewildered, not understanding how Qin Su could say such outrageous things in such a calm voice.
Something inside me died a little.
Alec swallowed hard. He knew Qin Su was no ordinary person, but he hadn't expected him to go to such lengths, even targeting their Transport troops. Unfortunately, it was too late for him to regret it now, since he didn't dare tell Qin Su anyway.
(Class 6 remained unmoved upon hearing this, a hint of anticipation appearing on their faces.
That's it?
They are no longer the same as they were at the beginning. Even if the people in Class 66 could hit them, the pain would be insignificant compared to the bizarre and brutal ways Qin Su attacked them, causing them to die in various shapes.
Moreover, having experienced the devastation of countless simulated combat exercises, they had long been aware that while wearing specially made Combat Suits, indoor weapons hitting these Combat Suits would only simulate a Combat Suit reaction and pain, without actually killing the opponent.
The person standing in front of them at this moment was not a senior from Class 66, but a good training partner whose routines they could not figure out.
Of course, they reciprocate in kind.
" (Class 6 look like it's nothing unusual? It's so ridiculous! Did Qin Su play these tricks on them in private?"
"If you're right, they... after being treated so ruthlessly by Qin Su, are they still so devoted to Qin Su? They must have some serious illness, right?"
"Masochistic."
The students in Class 66 looked at the students in Class 6 with strange expressions.
(Class 6 students stood tall and proud.
They understand the admiring look in their eyes!
[A truly grueling training method]
[Hahaha, you guys know nothing! A bunch of self-proclaimed experts have completely outdone you!]
[Kids, they're looking at me like I'm a pervert (laughing and crying)]
[ (Class 66) You guys are right. Brother Su treats them all the time in private. Their upper and lower limits are determined by Brother Su's preferences. Otherwise, how could they be so abnormal now?]
Regardless of what Class 6) and Class 66) were thinking, they all felt a strong sense of urgency because of Qin Su's cold and stern countdown. Unable to resist Qin Su's order, they could only obediently follow it, their eyes fixed on the walls around them, ready to snatch the refreshed weapons.
"One."
As Qin Su's final Countdown ended, under Qin Su mental control, countless compartment walls randomly spawned weapons corresponding to the number of people currently in each compartment.
In order to let the students of Class 66 hear the amazing speech of the students of Class 6 during the process, which shocked him, and thus lower the 'morality' level of Class 66 and provoke them to take action against 'people', Qin Su kindly opened Full-Band Communication for both classes.
Among the students at the Fourth Military Academy, he spent the most time with and observed the students in Class 6). Compared to the other classes, he is most likely to trust Class 6) the most in the future.
The students in Class 6) have already mastered the simulated battlefield, so using the Simulated Battlefield on Class 6) again would be a waste.
Since Class 66) consists entirely of humans, they don't need to mimic adult insects. Based on Class 6)'s past performance, they didn't dare to attack people before, but they dared to line up and smell the dead smell on Prisoners, and dared to rush to the Funeral Home to collect corpses of different degrees of decomposition and different ways of death. With their lowering standards, now that they know Class 66) will not be injured while wearing specially Combat Suits, there is an 80% chance that they will shoot at 'real people'.
In the future, it will only be easier to deal with those who threaten their lives but are not wearing specially made Combat Suit.
As for Class 66), persuasion is impossible. The only way to motivate them to take action is to use Class 6 'bloody and brutal' evil practices to make them qualified, mobile, and attackable human targets.
In different cubicles, everyone was making the same movements, vying for weapons.
The moment Class 66) got their weapons, they were still debating whether to use the students from Class 6) opposite them as targets. Some students from Class 6) got their weapons and started shooting without thinking.
Based on Qin Su's training experience with them, the enemy is currently composed entirely of insects; if they don't strike first and subdue the insects, they're doomed.
When the other students in Class 6) and Class 66) stared at each other, hesitating whether to shoot, they saw that the other students in their class, especially outstanding members such as He Muzhi, had already taken action. They immediately stopped hesitating and mustered up their courage to fire a barrage of shots at the other side.
'They're already no match for He Muzhi and Sophia compared to Qin Su; they can't afford to falter again!'
Countless (Class 66 members fell to the ground amidst the continuous banging of gunfire. The simulated real pain from the hit areas swept over their entire bodies, and they hadn't recovered yet.
'No way, they're this ruthless to their own people? They're human beings, not insects!'
Whether they were lying on the ground or running around without the courage to shoot at the person opposite them, the incredulous Class 66 people deeply suspected that Qin Su had made Class 6 go to the Funeral Home during the summer vacation in order to make them lose their fear of 'human bodies' and habitually treat people as corpses.
Can...
Their (Class 66 didn't get involved in the combat platoon's affairs, nor did they spend day and night in the Funeral Home facing corpses; they truly couldn't...
"How can they be dumber than insects?"
"Who cares? Even bugs can be stupid. Just treat them like stupid bugs and shoot them in the head."
"What's so great about hitting someone's head? If you're going to kill a bug, you should hit their face."
"What's the point of slapping him in the face? It's a pity I'm not a mimicry insect now, otherwise I could spiral down and snap his head off, letting him experience the consequences of not taking insect-fighting seriously."
Hearing the 'devil' comments all over the channel, the entire Class 66) was stunned.
'No, are those little devils taught by that big devil in Class 6 even speaking human language?'
Enraged by the harsh mockery and merciless remarks from Class 6, the students of Class 66 silently crossed out the words "can't do it" and began to fight back.
The specific method of execution is to fire a barrage of shots with eyes closed.
The students of Class 6) were 'battle-hardened'. Although they could not escape the precise death blows Qin Su delivered each time, Class 66)'s methods were insignificant in their eyes.
Dodging is a piece of cake.
Qin Su: "..."
The human body outline master won't disappear, it will only move.
As things unfolded as expected, Qin Su took a deep breath and averted his gaze, unable to bear looking directly at He Muzhi.
After observing for only a few minutes, Qin Su heard the sound of Class 6) and Class 66) arguing and cursing at each other coming from the channel.
"Oh, is that all you've got?"
"Aaaaaah, I'll fight you to the death!"
"You should wash up and go to bed early."
"If you're bad at this, practice more. You think you can beat me up if you weren't personally taught by our Class Monitor Qin Su? No way!"
I'll smash your mouth in!
After (Class 66 deeply realized that no one would actually die, they continued to "cut each other" in their mutual dissing.
Qin Su: "..."
No wonder everyone says that unorthodox practices are effective.
Compared to Class 6), Class 66) is inferior to Class 6) in both experience and psychological acceptance.
After a full day of training in the morning and afternoon, even the Omega Class 6) won.
(Class 66 was spared; all of them underwent the two-hour training session prescribed by Qin Su in the evening.
When Class 66) had extra training, they saw that all 299 members of Class 6), except for Qin Su, were present at the shooting range.
"No, what else do you want to do?" Alec couldn't hold back any longer.
They were tormented all day, making them clearly realize that even being from a higher class was useless; they were still being humiliated by Class 6). And then they came back at night?
"Training," He Muzhi said seriously, "Although you are our seniors, Class 6 will not give you the opportunity to secretly train and then surpass us."
"That's right."
"That's right, don't even think about giving us special treatment behind our backs."
I give up.
Alec raised his hand and slapped his forehead. He was at a loss and admired Class 6) immensely.
He never imagined that what they saw as Qin Su's punishment and extra training was seen by Class 6) as a reward equivalent to special tutoring.
"However..." Alec lowered his hand, glanced at the Class 6 people behind He Muzhi, and said in a consultative tone, "Since everyone is here, why don't we... continue practicing by PK like we did during the day?"
No one in Class 6 66 objected; we await their response.
He Muzhi, not understanding, asked, "Why?"
Alec said grandly, "Although they died far too many times during the day, well... it's in adversity that people grow quickly."
Kataerla, standing behind him, whispered an explanation, "In plain terms, the Class Monitor means we think our class is too weak and there's no point in training them."
(Class 6: "..."
In the end, in order to prevent Class 66 6 overtaking them and to keep track of Class 66's progress, Class 6 nodded in agreement.
At 10 p. m., training ended, and a post titled "[Class of 25 Qin Su's Only Certified Class (Class 66) ]" spontaneously sent by 573 students from Class 66 of Class of 25) occupied the homepage of the Fourth Military Academy Forum.
The key points of evidence for the argument are:
Qin Su did not treat them as outsiders, but treated them the same as Class 6). He instructed them to fight against people other than insects, and remembered the names of many people in Class 66).
[56L: Our (Class 66 is already Qin Su's people, that fact is undeniable!]
[57L: I'm incredibly confident now. I feel like when I'm working in Transport in the future, I can confidently tell people who are worse than me, 'If you can't do it, step down. If you can, I'll take over.']
[58L: Don't you guys think Qin Su is making you all creepy and scary?]
[59L: Who understands the sense of redemption I felt when Qin Su called out my name?]
[60L: The other Class 58 that had fought alongside Class 6 of Qin Su in the Class of 26 sent congratulatory messages, saying that Class 66 of Class of 25 was right, you are now Qin Su's people, just like us.]
[61L: I get it now. To be Qin Su's man, you must first learn how to kill.]
[62L: Ah, this... I suspect Qin Su is deliberately guiding and cultivating a group of people. Is this some kind of training program before they are assigned to other places after graduation?]
[63L: It's an honor to be one of the members trained by Brother Su]
[64L: Does this mean that Qin Su will take me with him when he leaves?]
[65L: I can't let this go without taking him with me, after all, I'm now completely tamed by Qin Su, both mentally and physically (starry-eyed). I just want to be Qin Su's dog.]
[66L: What the hell got in here?]
[67L: I'm not learning how to kill bugs anymore, is it too late for me to learn how to attack people?]
In the remaining four days, Qin Su had the students of Class 66 go through everything about weapons, Mecha, insect knowledge, Warships...
It was common for Class 66) to leave the training ground between 7 a. m. and 11 p. m.
During the training period, there were occasional instances where Qin Su would not appear, leaving everything to He Muzhi to temporarily take over.
Whether it was He Muzhi, the other members of the two classes, or even the comments section, everyone agreed that Qin Su was quite satisfied with He Muzhi's recent performance and deliberately disappeared for a few hours from time to time to cultivate He Muzhi.
(Class 66 66 didn't say a word in front of Qin Su, but they were all guessing wildly in private.
When Qin Su returned to the Comic World after finishing his classes in the Real World, he noticed everyone's strange looks as they hesitated between him and He Muzhi. He thought something had happened, but he learned the truth after reading the Forum and the comments.
It's impossible for Qin Su to tell people in the Comic World about going back to the Real World to attend classes. Rumors don't harm him; on the contrary, they increase his popularity. He's unknowingly riding on the protagonist's popularity even without appearing in the real world, Qin Su has no intention of explaining.
The training lasted for three weeks. It wasn't until the Monday of the third week that the school sent the class Class Monitor of the Class of 25 to a designated location to draw lots for the Purge site.
Having spent the previous week as a ruthless machine executing Qin Su's orders, Alec forgot that he was the 'commander-in-chief'. Before going to the lottery after receiving the news, he subconsciously asked Qin Su for leave.
Qin Su nodded in agreement.
After Alec left, Qin Su saw that the students from both classes didn't seem to find anything amiss at all. He tried hard to hide the guilt he felt inside, thinking that he had taken Alec's job and had probably pressured him so much that Alec had forgotten he was the one in charge. He continued with the morning training as usual.
Today's morning training was strength training. After a week of Qin Su's relentless treatment, although Class 66) was still no match for Class 6) which had undergone long-term brutal training, their physical qualities were far superior to those of the original Class.
When Alec returned from the draw, even Class 66 had finished their Qin Su training before the scheduled time. Seeing Alec return, they had plenty of free time to gather around him.
"How about it?"
"Class Monitor, which area did we draw?"
