Chapter 131
"..."
The truth is that students from other classes imitated their class, leading to the Class Monitor being collectively "beaten up."
But... even if we take a step back, the people who 'ganged up' them weren't them; they should have targeted their own students. What does that have to do with Qin Su?
Qin Su secretly tried to exonerate himself while pondering where he was.
In the water.
Regardless of their purpose in coming here, he was in the water while they were on the shore, and from above, his geographical position was not advantageous at all.
Qin Su pretended not to have seen the Class Monitor's every move, and went ashore without changing his expression, naturally heading towards the weapons exchange area.
There was an open space around there. He didn't know much about Class 66 yet, but based on the reactions of the students in Class 6, they would follow immediately and stop the Class Monitors.
As Qin Su walked, he noticed that Class 66 had also come ashore like the students from Class 6, and spontaneously moved closer to his direction, their eyes warily scanning the other class Class Monitor.
Having achieved his goal, Qin Su stopped at a suitable spot, maintaining a posture where he was turned sideways to the Class Monitor, allowing them to see only his profile and not be able to judge his emotions from his face. He then methodically replaced the empty weapon.
They pretended to ignore the Class Monitor who were 'aggressively' approaching them.
The goals of the other class Class Monitor were so obvious, and Class 6) and Class 66) weren't blind. They frowned in confusion at the sight of the two classes looking at each other and then running over impatiently.
Regardless of the Class Monitor's intentions, before Qin Su even speak, Class 6) had already taken the lead in blocking his way.
(Class 66 has always had a weak presence in the Class of 25. If it were in the past, when they saw so many main combat class Class Monitor walking towards them, they would have preferred to avoid trouble and step aside to avoid blocking their way.
Now, with Class 6) leading the way, and after a week of intense, indiscriminate treatment of Qin Su without treating them as weaklings, they followed closely behind Class 6) and became one of the Class Monitor blocking their way.
Although...
Given Qin Su's strength, they knew he didn't need them to do this.
It's one thing for Qin Su himself not to need it, but it's quite another for them to show Qin Su their attitude and let Qin Su know that their guidance wasn't in vain.
Qin Su: "!"
My classmates are so kind!
Although the students from Class 6) and Class 66) did not speak, they stared intently and warily at the six Class Monitor who had come to them.
The six Class Monitor, blocked by the crowd and forced to stop, were speechless.
In the distance, the students from the other six classes witnessed the entire scene unfolding before their eyes.
They could see clearly that before their Class Monitor even had a chance to get close to Qin Su, and before Qin Su could even utter a single word, Class 6) and Class 66) had already formed a well-trained line of soldiers standing between Qin Su and their Class Monitor.
Students from other classes. "..."
"Is this the legendary, invisible influence of a powerful figure?"
"Although... this scene was really cool! It made my blood boil."
"Agreed. I wonder if Class 6) and Class 66) have given up their class spots so I can perform for a few days?"
"Hehe, prop your pillow up a bit, and you'll dream about anything."
"Envy Class 6, it's as easy for them as breathing."
"What about Class 66)? Did you eat it?"
"Is that the point? Isn't the point that we should also cosplay and support our class Class Monitors? I think our Class Monitors are quite pitiful."
"Maybe we shouldn't go. Qin Su is on the other end, and I don't want Qin Su to misunderstand."
"Anyway, there's no way I'm going. I was once one of Qin Su's 59 Classes."
"If you're not going, then I won't go either."
"What? None of you are going? Then I'm not going either."
+1.
"+ Identity ID."
Hearing the students' chatter coming from the channel, the Class Monitors. "..."
To be honest, they were also envious.
They were both Class Monitors, so why didn't their classmates protect them like this? And while they were being 'crushed,' their classmates were even chirping behind them?
In the blink of an eye, the Class Monitor realized that every class that had followed Qin Su had reaped enormous benefits through Qin Su's legal and compliant operations, which no one but Qin Su himself could replicate. They instantly felt relieved.
'Alright, they really can't compare to Qin Su.'
The relieved Class Monitor gazed longingly at Qin Su through the crowd.
Behind the human wall spontaneously formed by Class 6) and Class 66), Qin Su seemed completely indifferent to all the changes around him, coldly changing the weapons on his body with his side profile, ignoring their arrival.
Qin Su's cold attitude was on full display, and the Class Monitor unconsciously felt a sense of pressure.
Obviously, unless Qin Su gives permission, Class 6) and Class 66) will not make way for them.
Even if they use Pheromones.
How dare they use Pheromones to intimidate Qin Su?
An eerie silence fell over the surroundings, with only the soft clanging of Qin Su slowly switching weapons clearly audible.
Qin Su didn't know the Class Monitors ' purpose, only that his classmates had already 'built momentum' for him as they had imagined. At this moment, whoever spoke first would show signs of 'losing'. He had to remain calm in order to 'win' in the silent confrontation.
[I need that look from Brother Su, that disregard for ants.]
[Class 6) and Class 66): Want to see Qin Su? You'll have to step over our corpses first!]
[This is what people want (nods)]
[This scene is awesome, I really enjoyed watching it.]
Even the most aloof woman would find herself grinning from ear to ear upon seeing this.
The Class Monitor exchanged glances, and in the end Su Zhanghua, the Class Monitor of the Class of 26 who had been personally mentored by Qin Su, was pushed to the front.
"Um..." Su Zhanghua never expected that he would suffer the consequences of secretly publicizing Qin Su's personal instruction behind Qin Su's back. Under the high-pressure environment of Qin Su's cold and silent demeanor, he was pushed forward by everyone. "Qin Su, we were thinking, could we discuss with you whether we could train together for the next few days?"
Su Zhanghua forced himself to finish his question in the suffocating atmosphere, then anxiously awaited Qin Su's reply.
Click--
Qin Su's movement as he changed magazines produced a crisp sound, and his lowered gaze concealed his surprise and delight upon hearing Su Zhanghua's words.
They were going to discuss it, but when the six men approached him, they clenched their fists at their sides, looking menacing, which made him think they were there to cause trouble, giving him a fright for no reason.
In that case...
If we round it up, wouldn't the other side be essentially delivering themselves to our doorstep—those 'insects' whose combat strength is unknown but whose actions are even more unpredictable?
With their participation, wouldn't the amount of training for the students increase without them even realizing it?
In the few seconds after Su Zhanghua finished speaking, Qin Su's mind raced, and in the end, only one sentence remained. "There's such a thing!"
Qin Su's few seconds of silence were interpreted by the other Class Monitor as a Qin Su rejection or... mockery of their seemingly noble but actually calculating mindset?
Could Qin Su possibly think they're not going to put in the effort anymore and are just trying to take advantage of him?
Although...
Their eagerness to join clearly suggests they don't want to put in the effort anymore.
Although the school didn't explicitly state that the classes that chose Wagakubo Planet as their mission launch site were in a competitive relationship, being in the same school meant that everyone implicitly considered it a competition.
Their actions are tantamount to sneaking into their competitors' territory to copy their winning strategies before the actual competition even begins.
Su Zhanghua silently counted the time in his mind. After five seconds without receiving a reply from Qin Su, Su Zhanghua turned his head and glanced at the senior class Class Monitors.
Seeing them silently shake their heads at him, Su Zhanghua turned around and awkwardly said, "I'm sorry, we were presumptuous..."
Realizing that the other party's intentions were harmless and even beneficial to him, Qin Su casually placed his weapon, now with a new magazine, onto his Combat Suit, and naturally turned to face the squad leaders, interrupting Su Zhanghua's voice. "Alright."
"!"
The reversal came too quickly. Qin Su's two concise words brought obvious joy to Su Zhanghua and the Class Monitor behind him.
Qin Su really... may seem cold and ruthless, but he is exceptionally forgiving. Although he saw through their little schemes, he did not refuse them.
Perhaps this... is the mindset of the strong.
Before the Class Monitor could recover, Qin Su said to the students of Class 6 and Class 66, whose tense postures had relaxed upon hearing his voice, "Let them come over here."
The crowd immediately parted, making Passageway for Qin Su and the Class Monitor.
After a brief moment of joy, the Class Monitor, realizing what was happening, walked towards Qin Su under the watchful eyes of the students from Class 6 and Class 66. They stopped about three steps away from Qin Su and thanked him profusely.
Thank you, Qin Su.
"Thank you so much for granting our unreasonable request."
"If there's anything I can do for you in the future, just let me know..." Before she could finish, Lu Qing realized she was being presumptuous by saying this in front of Qin Su, and gave an awkward laugh, "Haha... sorry, I misspoke."
Qin Su didn't want to miss this opportunity to gain a favor, so he looked at Lu Qing and accepted the favor. "I'll remember that."
These words made the other Class Monitor look at Lu Qing with a hint of envy.
"!"
Lu Qing's eyes lit up.
Although her family has some influence, it's insignificant compared to the immense power Qin Su has displayed. There's no doubt that Qin Su has no need for her family's help. The reason Qin Su is saying this now is simply to avoid contradicting her words in front of so many people.
Lu Qing looked at Qin Su with a serious expression and nodded. "Yes!"
With Lu Qing's successful example as a precedent, other Class Monitor quickly followed his Lu Qing.
Qin God Su, but in reality, he opened a new interface on his Optical Brain and quickly jotted down notes on how much 'favor' the Class Monitors had for him.
Regardless of whether I'll ever need these favors in the future, I'll remember them first, just in case they come in handy.
Before the other classes arrived, Class 6) and Class 66), who had been secretly competing, stood together on the same side for the first time when they saw this scene. They stared at the Class Monitor of the other classes and the students of the other classes in the distance with a sense of 'shared hatred'.
When Qin Su treats everyone the same, they cease to be special.
The two classes immediately felt a sense of crisis.
"So..."
Qin Su's gaze habitually swept over the Class Monitors, and he stated forcefully, "From now on, I'm in charge."
They came to him of their own accord, so Qin Su wasn't afraid they wouldn't agree.
"Certainly."
"That's for sure."
Amidst the continuous responses, Qin Su, based on his own high-intensity exercise of jumping and hopping underwater, his lack of inhalation of pure oxygen to increase his breath-holding time, and his certainty that he could surface early, added new rules to the original set of rules.
"... Based on the above rules, the classes will be divided into two groups, meaning each group will be randomly selected from the Class of 25 cohort to form the same faction. Within ten minutes, each member of each faction will engage in indiscriminate attacks. If each member of each faction achieves fifty kills, they can surface to observe the battle."
Upon hearing this, Class 6) and Class 66) exclaimed, "?...!"
In that case... they're on the same side? And the other classes... no matter what side they're on, wouldn't they all be their enemies?
Their perspective is too narrow.
It turns out that Qin Su agreed to let the other classes join them only so that they could be used as whetstones for them.
'Tsk, so what if Qin Su agreed to their joining? They're just a bunch of whetstones; don't even think about getting past them.'
On the other hand, if they lost to Qin Su in front of the 'sharpening stones,' wouldn't that be a disgrace to Qin Su?
The students in Class 6) and Class 66) looked at each other and saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.
'In this battle, they have no choice but to win.'
Other classes. "..."
They're not working together in pairs, meaning each of the Class of 25's Class Monitor drew their own class, right? That means there are a total of eight classes here, from the Class of 26 to the Class of 25, which is four camps.
Why do Class 6) and Class 66) have eyes that simultaneously view all three factions—that is, all six classes—as enemies?
Is it just their imagination?
Before the third round officially began, as they watched Qin Su's departing figure, Class 6) whispered words of declaring war as they passed by students from other classes.
Be prepared.
"Hehe, don't be so narcissistic. Our Class Monitor definitely doesn't have any other intentions towards you."
"Enough said, just wait and see."
It doesn't matter what others think; their minds are in their own skulls, so they can think whatever they want, and that's their decision.
They believed that they were a fierce and powerful team trained by Qin Su himself, so how could they possibly be afraid of other classes?
They would never waste such a good opportunity to hone their skills.
Hearing the provocative voices mostly coming from (6), the students from other classes who came at the summons of their Class Monitor: "...?"
"No, what do they mean by this? One faction challenging the three of us? Why are they talking so veiledly, with such a hostile tone?"
"Are they already that good? Or have we misunderstood?"
It turned out that it wasn't a misperception on the part of the other six classes.
When their third round began, Class 6) and Class 66) worked together to launch indiscriminate attacks on the other three camps less than three seconds after entering the water, showing no mercy.
Qin Su: "?"
No, what are Class 6) and Class 66) doing? Are they playing such a big game?
Qin Su was numb.
(Class 6) and (Class 66 not only forced themselves to take on more difficult tasks, but their "commanders" were also dragged into it.
What's the difference between him lifting a rock only to drop it on his own foot?
The mess caused by his subordinates forced Qin Su, who was temporarily in command, to clean up the mess.
In a situation where one is fighting against many, targeting the lower-ranking soldiers is obviously not very effective. To catch the thief, one must first catch the leader. Therefore, Qin Su had no choice but to turn his gun on the Class Monitor of the other six squads.
Only by dealing with them first, leaving the other six classes leaderless, will it be easier for the other students to handle them.
Even if he gets ganged up on, after he kills the Class Monitors and takes down the other known strongmen from the other classes, he'll surface. Even if the students incur the wrath of the masses and get beaten up, the scene will... be a little bit more aesthetically pleasing, right?
After figuring it out, Qin Su, who was the fastest to fall due to the heavier weapons he was carrying, aimed his weapons at the squad Class Monitor and attacked them without hesitation.
"..."
While the students from other classes were still pondering which side to fight, the indiscriminate attack by Class 6) and Class 66), led by Qin Su, interrupted their thoughts.
[No, they really took on three opponents by themselves?]
Judging from Qin Su's actions, Class 6) and Class 66) were clearly following Qin Su's instructions!
[I give up! Fight back and let Qin Su know we're not cowards!]
[We're not from Class 6 or Class 66, we're not under Qin Su, shouldn't our Class Monitor know we're not cowards?]
[Stop talking nonsense and run! Can't you see the shell aimed at your face?... I'm hitting people with my mouth, why is it hitting my face?]
[Heh, you should be grateful. Qin Su blew our Class Monitor's head off.]
[Ugh, if you hit the Class Monitor, can you not hit us anymore?]
[Stop being so narcissistic. We're not worthy of being laid a hand on by Qin Su. Look at how Qin Su beats up the top students in each class.]
[As expected of Qin Su, so ruthless! He taught Class 6) and Class 66) to specialize in striking vital points, but their aim doesn't seem to be very good.]
[No, we are human beings, how could they do that?]
In the chat interfaces of each class, everyone was adjusting their mindset while being criticized, and at the same time, they were venting their frustrations. For a while, the groups were filled with similar content.
Having completed his mission of sniping his Class Monitor and the other top fighters, Qin Su's anxiety subsided. With his experience advantage, he surfaced to observe the battle even faster than before.
Underwater.
Class 6) and Class 66): "..."
'Even if I can't hit Qin Su, hitting someone like Qin Su would bring me one step closer to Qin Su, wouldn't it?'
Thinking of this, the students from both classes silently raised their guns at the one Qin Su had shot.
[No, the Class Monitor are so pitiful. They had just recovered from the pain of Qin Su's attack when they were attacked by Class 6) and Class 66) together.]
[As expected of the soldiers trained by Brother Su, they're all the same, always targeting vital points when they strike.]
[It's like the rope always breaks at its weakest point; fate is playing a cruel joke on the Class Monitor. Let's have a moment of silence for Class Monitor, hahaha!]
[Class 6) and (Class 66) are known for their lifelong love and imitation?]
The students who were killed by Qin Su: "..."
No, what's wrong with Class 6) and Class 66)? Why are they always the ones who get hurt?
[No way, your Class Monitor got beaten up and you're just watching?]
[Hurry up and fight back!]
I'm sorry, I can't help you with that.
What use are you?
In the Deep-Water Zone, although everyone was too angry to speak, the glances they exchanged spoke volumes.
Qin Su: "..."
A completely unexpected and divine turn of events.
Even across the water, he could feel their despair.
Good news, Class 6) and Class 66) were not ganged up on.
Bad news: if things continue like this, the favors he recently received from the Class Monitors seem to be almost completely used up by his classmates.
Qin Su: "..."
Today's achievement of "lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot" is x2√.
While reminiscing about the people he had lost, Qin Su also opened a new interface and mentally recorded the details of the outstanding students in each class, preparing for the next "elimination" of them.
Class 6) and Class 66) were eventually ganged up on, but thanks to Qin Su's previous training, they were not in the same 'human outline master' state as the students in other classes. In the case of one against three, they were not ganged up on badly, and the average time to complete the task was lower than that of the other six classes.
After the first round of collective combat, the other six classes, whose originally excellent qualities were reduced by the relentless attacks of Class 6) and Class 66), had largely adopted some of the characteristics of Class 6) and Class 66) by the time the second round of collective underwater combat began.
During the final week of training, the students in the eight classes briefly lost their former good character, but gained increasingly proficient underwater combat skills and the achievement of being 'ruthless killers'. Qin Su, on the other hand, gained the strength ranking list of the students in the other classes, expanding his database.
During this time, Qin Su seized every opportunity to secretly work hard while his classmates were sleeping, and amazed everyone during the day by pushing himself to the limit.
Every time Qin Su rolled up the sheets, he couldn't help but feel grateful that his classmates were asleep at night, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to finish.
In conclusion, they all have bright futures.
With only one hour left before the Hyperspace Jump to Vagakupo, the group received their Combat Suits and suddenly realized that Qin Su had never allowed them to wear Underwater Combat Suits during training.
"We don't seem to have any experience fighting in this, is that alright?"
"Oh right, did Qin Su forget to let us wear it during training?"
"What are you thinking? Qin Su couldn't possibly have forgotten. There must be a reason why he didn't want us to wear it in advance."
"Anyway, the answer will be revealed soon, what's the rush... Wait, Qin Su seems to be training us indiscriminately, without revealing a single detail of their Combat Plan, and our Class Monitor, just like us, has been so focused on training that he forgot about the Combat Plan! Have we been set up?"
"Compared to this... don't you think this time the supplies are more abundant than ever before? We've never fought a battle with such abundant resources before."
Looking at the numerous enormous Spaceships packed full of people, everyone fell into deep thought, then looked knowingly at Qin Su.
Qin Su: "..."
It's no use looking at it; it's his first time doing it too.
