Chapter 147
(Class 6 stared intently in Qin Su's direction, their faces revealing an undisguised desire for praise.
Hearing Zhou Qian's words, they realized that Qin Su was too busy to talk to them right now. They resisted the urge to approach Qin Su, and spontaneously stopped their cheering, waiting quietly for Qin Su to speak.
"... You're too kind." Qin Su, who had been "forced" into this position by his classmates from Class 6), turned to Zhou Qian and said, "It's our 20 classes from the Class of 26 that need your guidance in the coming days."
Although he was only facing Zhou Qian, Qin Su deliberately raised his voice so that the Class Monitor of the other nine classes could hear him clearly.
Although all ten classes are in the same major, they each have their own focus. He hasn't even finished studying it yet, so how could he dare to give pointers?
The 20 classes of the Class of 26 cohort won the competition, but in terms of experience, the Class of 24 still surpasses all the classes of the Class of 26.
His "rebellion against the Heavenly Gang" already displeased the Class of 24 graduating class. If he were to immediately offer "guidance," it would likely only make them smile on the surface while harboring even greater resentment. Given the existing estrangement, the Class of 26 graduating class would only be further excluded from the Class of 24 graduating class due to his "mistaken decision."
He needs to be more careful.
Qin Su's words were well-chosen. Whether they were sincere or merely out of basic social politeness, they were giving face to the students from other years. Zhou Qian and the other Class Monitors and students from the Class of 24 who heard these words felt a little better.
Furthermore, Qin Su's combat record at the Fourth Military Academy is verifiable, so it's perfectly reasonable for him to Head Class Monitor for nearly two months.
Upon closer examination, a large part of their distress stemmed from their defeat in front of Qin Su, an absolute powerhouse.
"Not at all," Zhou Qian smiled. "Qin Su, you're too kind. So, what should we do next?"
With Qin Su's abilities, there's no need for them to say anything. Besides, if ten classes are gathered together for classes and training for such a long time, even if Qin Su doesn't care, they'll start causing trouble according to their own class rhythm, which will make the students of the Class of 26 laugh at them. There's nothing wrong with Qin Su being the Head Class Monitor.
After twenty rounds of competition, which took up some time, Qin Su, who hadn't finished his 'cramming', listened to Zhou Qian's words and then shifted his gaze from Zhou Qian to the students of the Class of 24 and Class of 26 graduating classes.
The 10 classes of the Class of 24 and the Class of 26 all stood in the same area. Qin Su easily completed a polite scan, then decisively announced in a natural volume that everyone could hear, "Meet at the V-207 large command field at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
Based on the clues he found by the students of the current ten classes of the Class of 24 on the StarNet, Forums and in the awards they received at the Military Academy, he deduced that this was the favorite place of the Class 1 of Class of 24).
Each class has its own number, and Qin Su, who hadn't yet learned about the classes behind him, simply followed the pre-arranged order.
As soon as Qin Su finished speaking, Class 6) responded solemnly and without hesitation.
"Receive!"
"Yes!"
"Yes, Class Monitor!"
Seeing that Class 6) was the first to react, the students from the remaining 19 classes of the Class of 26, ashamed that they had not played any role in the competition, responded one after another.
Before the other classes could even deduce the meaning from Qin Su 'Qin Su words, their thoughts were interrupted by the clearly excited voices of Class 6) and the other Class of 26 grade classes.
Class of 24: "..."
Alright, alright! You know you won, can you stop being so aggressive and relentless? It's embarrassing for the losers.
The awkward Class of 24 students, seeing the principle of 'if you don't lie, I won't say anything either, so as not to embarrass myself and be seen as a sycophant by my classmates,' tacitly remained silent, their eyes fixed resentfully on the direction of the Class of 26 (Class 6.
Other sessions. "..."
Is this a competition to see who is more 'obsequious' to Qin Su? Or is it a declaration that even if more classes join, no one can surpass their (Class 6?
The students responded too quickly and quite loudly, which gave Qin Su a slight fright.
"..."
The Class Monitor and the other class members are both conspicuous; they're truly from the same family, and you can't expect two kinds of people to come from the same class.
'Perfect match.'
If the students from the 10 classes of the Class of 24 remained silent... they were probably angry that their (Class 6 had taken the position of "Head Class Monitor" from the higher-level class.
Interpersonal relationships are definitely not his strong suit; he's difficult to deal with.
The Class of 24 graduating class remained silent and resentful, while the Class of 26 graduating class was in high spirits. The 23rd and Class of 25 graduating classes watched the drama unfold. Qin Su, not wanting the situation to become too ugly, decisively ended it all after about five seconds of the Class of 26 graduating class responding in unison.
"Dismissed." After saying these two words, Qin Su turned to face the exit Passageway he had already selected, nodded slightly Passageway the Class Monitor of Class of 24 on the other side of the exit passage, then looked away and calmly strode away under the various gazes of the crowd.
Seeing the direction Qin Su left in, the students of Class 6) exchanged glances, said nothing, and ignored the way people looked at them. They all ran over to surround him.
Other sessions. "..."
It has been verified that, apart from Qin Su, the group in Class 6) completely disregarded their existence.
The other 19 classes that were Sequential Placement to Class 6) instinctively wanted to follow, but were stopped in time by their Class Monitor.
"I'm still here! Qin Su's gone, I'm your Class Monitor now!"
"The other Class 6) went to find their Class Monitor, what are you guys trying to do by jumping around here?"
"Don't I, as the Class Monitor, have any shame? I don't expect you to treat Qin Su like Class 6 did, but at least give me some face in front of the other senior classes. I'm still at an age where I care about my reputation."
In response to these words from different Class Monitor, the students in each class either comforted themselves according to their own Class Monitor's wishes, or took advantage of Qin Su's absence to review and recall what Qin Su had just said.
"Hey, did you hear me clearly? Qin Su said '20' classes! Waaah, I'm so touched! Even though we weren't able to help at all in this competition, Qin Su still remembered us."
"Perhaps... Qin Su only reluctantly brought us along because he saw that we served a decorative purpose?"
"Shut your sharp tongue, that was really awful. Don't you dare say that again."
The Class Monitor of the Class of 24, who had originally sat with Qin Su, looked in Qin Su's direction, and then saw that Qin Su had already left. Their classmates, who were still staring at Qin Su longingly and showed no intention of coming to find them, unconsciously let their voices carry a hint of resentment.
"This mutual connection and emotional bond brought tears to my eyes."
"You're obviously just jealous."
"So what if it's conjunctivitis? Who wouldn't want this kind of precious and sincere love, where two people firmly choose each other? It's a pity we don't have that chance anymore."
With just over a year left until graduation, their interpersonal relationships with classmates at school and their own future career paths are already largely set.
Trying to make friends at this point seems too deliberate and could easily be interpreted as a relationship based on self-interest.
"I suspect that Qin Su initially chose the new Class 6) instead of us senior classes because we were all freshmen. In this completely new environment for them, nothing was set in stone, and everything was up to him."
"A bunch of... dogs who are only loyal to him? A foster family?"
The Class Monitor couldn't refute this statement; it was an indisputable fact that they had confirmed through what they had heard and witnessed firsthand.
Chris returned to Zhou Qian's side dejectedly. "Sorry, Class Monitors, feel free to scold me."
"Chris, you don't need to blame yourself for losing to Qin Su's class. Just don't stir up trouble on the Forum in the future by saying that Class 6) is useless without Qin Su. Given their brutal and bloody behavior in PK, it would be terrifying if they held a grudge against you."
"If it's another class from a lower grade, I'll have to say a few things to you, but if it's Qin Su's (Class 6, then it's fine."
"Yes, that's only human nature."
"It's understandable, try not to think too much about it."
There wasn't a single word of reproach he expected, only praise for Qin Su. Chris, "... I understand, I won't do it again next time."
He didn't know whether he should be happy or continue to be sad.
"Speaking of which," Yasar looked at Zhou Qian, "Why did Qin Su choose the place that your class uses the most as the first place he uses since becoming the 'Head Class Monitor'? Did you secretly say something good about that place to Qin Su?"
Zhou Qian was speechless. "Am I that kind of person? Qin Su isn't that shallow either."
Zhou Qian seemed to have thought of something, a provocative smile curling at the corner of her lips. Knowing it was impossible, she still deliberately said, "Of course, it's because under my Zhou Qian and mighty leadership, our class is the best among the ten classes Qin Su will be interacting with this time. So naturally, Qin Su chose a place that our excellent class likes as our first stop. Is that so hard to understand?"
Chris nodded. "The Class Monitor is right. Could it be because Qin Su chose the venues according to class order? That's hilarious. No way, only you guys would comfort yourselves like that."
"Wait a minute." Gaoshan asked doubtfully, "Zhou Qian, what makes you think Qin Su would know what your Class 1) likes?"
Zhou Qian clicked her tongue, thinking to herself, "Oh no, my attempt to sneak in my own agenda has been discovered." But so what? She had the final say, "I'm trying to manifest, any objections?"
Manifestation?
Upon hearing this word, the Class Monitors ' eyes gleamed with a sense of "good luck, I'll learn it."
With the dust settled, Class 6) proved to other classes and grade levels with their own strength under everyone's watchful eyes that they had not let down Qin Su's good intentions, and made the other students who had privately ridiculed them realize that they were not bad.
For Qin Su's sake, they were fearless and would never let Qin Su lose everything that rightfully belonged to him.
The Viewers, seeing that Qin Su and Class 6, the center of the conversation, had left, realized there was no point in staying any longer. They began to gossip and share their observations about Qin Su and Class 6 with others, before leaving the venue in small groups.
Compared to the reaction of the Class of 24 graders, they were more curious about what Class 6) was trying to do by chasing after Qin Su again.
--
The familiar footsteps behind him were impossible for Qin Su to ignore.
Given the somewhat eerie scene of him walking ahead while his classmates chased after him, Qin Su hesitated for a couple of seconds before moving to a quiet, suitable spot. He then stopped and turned to face his classmates.
Accustomed to being a master of impartiality, Qin Su glanced at the students of Class 6) with equal eyes. Not quite understanding why they had followed him, he remained silent until they spoke up.
Everyone was 'shy', pushing and shoving each other, elbowing one another's arm, and habitually looking expectantly at He Muzhi.
'He Muzhi, a kind old man, is their spokesperson!'
He Muzhi had already recovered from his internal bleeding and was now full of energy. Seeing Qin Su turn to face them with a calm expression, he paused for two seconds before speaking in a serious tone:
"Class Monitor, we haven't let you down. Although we didn't do perfectly this time and didn't achieve a complete victory, we managed to do it for now. Next time, please believe in Class Monitor, we will definitely do better."
This passage was chosen by Class 6 after communicating with the 499 People in the group, expressing their determination to Qin Su.
'What are your own expectations?'
'Even a comeback against a higher-level opponent isn't perfect?'
'Will there be a next time?'
Qin Su, whose mind was automatically retrieving keywords, could no longer contain himself. He let his lips twitch, took a deep breath, and finally said, "... Mm."
What goes around comes around; in the past, he was dedicated to making sure his classmates were well-organized.
Today, he was completely organized and controlled by his classmates.
"!"
Seeing the slight upward curve of Qin Su's lips after he stopped He Muzhi from speaking, the eyes of the students in Class 6 who had participated in the 'defense' of this statement lit up with excitement.
The Class Monitor... smiled!
Although it was just a barely perceptible upward curve that would be easily overlooked if one wasn't paying attention, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye, with so many eyes watching, there was absolutely no way they could have mistaken it!
As the saying goes, hard work pays off. They knew that all the countless days and nights they had spent carrying Qin Su on their backs had finally paid off, and after achieving a partial victory and seeing the slightest smile Qin Su gave them...
It was all worth it.
Qin Su simply grunted in response, then noticed with alarm that his classmates' eyes were practically burning with fury as they stared at him. He was terrified they would say something he couldn't handle, and he would have to go back and cram for more, patching up his shallow knowledge. Before He Muzhi could speak further, he asked directly, "Is there anything else?"
"That's all." He Muzhi quickly shook his head. "Then we won't take up any more of your time, Class Monitor. Goodbye."
He Muzhi took a step back, retreating into the group of classmates, but his eyes remained fixed on Qin Su.
One by one they said goodbye... The scene was too beautiful for Qin Su to imagine. After scanning the students in Class 6, he said, "Goodbye."
After giving him a perfunctory reply, Qin Su turned and left.
The others, who were watching from afar and didn't understand what Class 6) and Qin Su were doing, quickly approached the people from Class 6) as Qin Su left.
As we got closer, we could see that everyone in Class 6) had a mysterious and strange smile on their face.
"Possessed by an evil spirit?"
"Promoting feudal superstition? I think you want to eat artificial peanuts. They've clearly taken the wrong medicine."
"Nonsense, you're clearly hallucinating because you ate the wrong insect or it was undercooked."
"Do you guys have to be so obviously sarcastic?" He Muzhi, who always liked to think the best of people, could hear the sourness in the voices of the other students around him.
"Hey, He Muzhi, just ignore them. They're just sour grapes. By the way... how did you know the Class Monitor smiled at us just now?"
"Oh yeah, did we make it so obvious that Qin Su smiled at us?"
"What... put that aside for now, how did you know Qin Su smiled at me?"
Although the students in Class 6 tried their best to maintain a reserved demeanor, their excited and boastful emotions were impossible to hide in their words and voices.
Others:
"?"
What? Really?
"!"
Qin Su actually smiled at them!
"..."
Don't go near Class 6), or you'll become... no, you'll become sour chicken.
Break through defense with a jump kick.
The first group of victims who approached Class 6 covered their ears and ran away, but how could Class 6 possibly hold back? In less than ten minutes, a series of short essays with pictures and text about Class 6 about 'Qin Su smiled at them' were flying everywhere on the Forum and StarNet.
Besides online, offline (Class 6 members would meet anyone and talk about anything, and eventually, they would suddenly say, "How did you know Qin Su smiled at me today?"
The number of victims continues to expand.
Qin Su: "?"
Qin Su, still on the Train back to his dormitory, was completely bewildered when he saw his Life Points suddenly and rapidly increasing.
In Qin Su's judgment, the main performers today are from Class 6), and they are the ones everyone is talking about. He is just a useless bystander who has been put on a pedestal.
The increase in Life Points was too strange. Qin Su skillfully opened the Forum. The moment he opened it, without even clicking to look inside, just looking at the titles about how he had smiled at the students of Class 6) to show his approval of their appearance today, Qin Su understood what was going on.
But...
He just twitched his mouth; he wasn't actually laughing.
Although it was unexpected, it brought good news. Between Qin Su's continuously increasing Life Points without clarifying the situation and being misunderstood by the ten classes of the Class of 24 as having instructed Class 6) to deliberately crush them, the scales tipped in favor of the former without hesitation.
So what if it's a misunderstanding? He can't have all the good things Qin Su. Anyway, his Life Points won't decrease as the Native Favorability decreases. At most, the Class of 24 of students will diss him in private, but if he doesn't hear it, he'll just pretend he wasn't scolded.
Skilled at using self-deception to make himself feel satisfied, Qin Su washed himself clean and continued reading the "little-known facts" about the ten classes of the Class of 24 that he had been reading while showering.
Qin Su organized the information about each class by class, putting all the information he could find about that class on a single page, and then added a separate 'notes' page for each of those pages.
After each review, Qin Su would compile and organize the information from the class, so that it might be useful in the future.
After showing off his composure, He Muzhi didn't forget the important matter. He gathered with Lailisi Lin Yin, and Samuel to inquire about the situation of their classmates and made notes.
When encountering something he didn't understand, He Muzhi planned to subtly inquire with other acquaintances. Ultimately, when he couldn't obtain it on his own, the name 'He Muzhi Qin Su' subconsciously flashed through his mind.
--
The next day.
At 7:00 a. m., Class 6) arrived at the V-207 command training ground ahead of time, full of energy, without any need for any forced requests or notices, and began their usual spontaneous early training activities.
The Fourth Military Academy's normal morning class hours are from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
The Class of 24 graduating class had already undergone a second round of job selection, and all ten classes were Command Class, focusing on issuing orders from the rear.
When carrying out missions, except when they are working with lower-grade classes and going to the front lines, the top-ranked students from each of the ten classes are assigned to other classes in batches to command them.
Adding to the blow and ridicule they suffered yesterday, everyone from top to bottom was in an emotional state. Unlike Class 6), they did not maintain the disciplined early morning training habit of 7 to 9 o'clock. It was not until 8:50 in the morning that they gradually entered the V207 training ground.
Although the other classes of the Class of 26 did not play any role yesterday, it did not stop them from feeling excited about riding on the coattails of Class 6), and they arrived less often than the other ten classes of the Class of 24.
Seeing them step into the V-207 field, I was shocked by (6) their highly self-disciplined behavior, and felt a little bit better.
"Why didn't Class 6 call us? If they had, we would be one of the shocking figures among the Class of 24 now."
"What's the point of saying all this now? We can just join tomorrow. Besides, Class 6) is very considerate. Suddenly calling us makes it seem like they're controlling us. Honestly, would you like to be controlled by them?"
"... They're not happy about it; they're not Qin Su."
At 8:55, seeing that the students from Class 6 still had the energy to change their clothes, the students from Class of 24 also went up to chat with them.
When did you arrive?
"Seven o'clock? What's wrong?"
(Class 6 left the Class of 24 student who asked the question speechless, "It's nothing."
They had followed the trend before, but unexpectedly, Class 6) has persisted until now.
"By the way, isn't Qin Su coming with you?" They were puzzled when they didn't see Qin Su as soon as they came in.
It's almost time; surely Qin Su hasn't forgotten he's the 'Head Class Monitor'?
Or is it...?
They weren't worth Qin Su's early appearance?
Anthony, who was being asked, had no idea, but not wanting the Class of 'Class of 24 to see through him, he pretended to know and said, "It's about our Class Monitor, don't get involved..."
Before he could finish speaking, Anthony saw Qin Su's figure in the distance, sniffed his new clothes to make sure they didn't smell, and changed the subject. "Class Monitor!"
Then they headed towards Qin Su.
There were quite a few people who reacted like Anthony, and soon, Qin Su was surrounded by people from Class 6 on both sides and behind him.
Qin Su looked at the students of the Class of 24 class ahead and walked on without stopping. He had classes in the Real World today. This time, as the 'Head Class Monitor,' he couldn't just rush through like last time. He had to quickly find something for these students to do so that he could return to class on the way back with a clear conscience.
