Chapter 153
"Hey, He Muzhi, that Alpha from the Class of 24 who got sent flying by Brother Su is here. He doesn't seem to be in a good mood."
(Class 6 saw Ding Yutang rushing aggressively towards their (Class 6 from afar. Remembering the cold reception Ding Yutang received from Qin Su not long ago, they nudged He Muzhi's arm to remind him.
"I wonder what our Class Monitor said to him that made him unhappy. Could he be taking advantage of the Class Monitor's absence to pick a fight with us now?"
"Or perhaps it's because they're unhappy that He Muzhi gets a good look from the Class Monitor?"
The students began to speculate, and He Muzhi turned around and saw Ding Yutang. He silently agreed with their suspicions and pushed his way to the front.
Ding Yutang had heard countless times that the entire Class 6) was united as one, and this was not the first time he had seen it with his own eyes. He used to only feel envious, but now, compared with his own class, he felt even more depressed.
Ding Yutang didn't look at the other people in Class 6 much, his eyes fixed on He Muzhi stopped. "He Muzhi, I expressed to Qin Su that I wanted to teach you, but Qin Su refused. Is this your intention, or does Qin Su mean to make the decision for you without even asking you?"
(Class 6: "..."
As soon as Ding Yutang opened his mouth, they smelled the aroma of tea.
The case is solved. They took advantage of the Class Monitor's absence to sow discord between the Class Monitor and He Muzhi.
"?"
A look of surprise flashed across He Muzhi's face.
After Ding Yutang finished speaking in a sarcastic tone, he stared intently at He Muzhi, not missing the change in He Muzhi's expression from confusion to sudden realization.
' Qin Su didn't tell He Mu, but he truly made the decision for He Muzhi in a dictatorial manner.'
'Has the relationship between Qin Su and He Muzhi become this good?'
Ding Yutang was even more annoyed.
He Muzhi recovered from the implications of Ding Yutang's words, his eyes showing no displeasure. His red eyes calmly met Ding Yutang's as he said, "The Class Monitor's meaning is my meaning."
He Muzhi didn't know much about Ding Yutang in other aspects, but in terms of Pheromone level alone, Ding Yutang was stronger than him. When Ding Yutang really got serious, there was nothing he could do to resist. He had experienced this firsthand not long ago.
This means that there must be many aspects of Ding Yutang that I can learn from.
But Qin Su refused on his behalf.
It couldn't be without reason. Although he didn't understand why Qin Su refused, his past experiences wouldn't lie; Qin Su wouldn't harm him.
When he consulted Qin Su, it happened almost immediately after Ding Yutang's. Qin Su didn't tell him, but perhaps he did even more for him in private.
"..." Ding Yutang took a step back, becoming increasingly angry. He ruthlessly exposed her, "He Muzhi, judging from your expression just now, you obviously didn't know. Qin Su didn't say a word to you. He clearly thought you didn't need to know and that you just needed to listen to him. Don't you think Qin Su is disrespectful to you?"
"Don't you have any sense of self-reliance at all?"
"Who treats an Alpha like you?"
(Class 6: "..."
When Ding Yutang arrived, he must have drunk a whole vat of vinegar; the smell of vinegar was overwhelming.
He Muzhi: "?"
A question mark popped into He Muzhi's mind, "What does this have to do with you? I'm happy with it, and I don't think there's anything wrong with Qin Su's decision."
Ding Yutang almost choked on his breath, taking several deep breaths before asking again, "Okay, very good, well done. So, may I know why Qin Su rejected me?"
He Muzhi must understand Qin Su's thoughts better than anyone else.
He Muzhi was not angry at Ding Yutang's previous attempts to sow discord. On the contrary, he sensed from Ding Yutang's words that Qin Su might have done a lot for him in private, so he was in a good mood and answered Ding Yutang politely, based on his own situation.
"The Class Monitor probably thinks that my physical fitness and learning ability are not yet strong enough to handle two teachers at once."
Everyone knew perfectly well that the 'teacher' He Muzhi was referring to was Halton.
"..."
'That's incredibly narcissistic.'
Caught off guard by this display of affection, Ding Yutang nearly fainted. He pursed his lips, instantly losing his last shred of composure, and turned to leave.
However, given Qin Su's care for He Muzhi, there's a 99% chance that it wasn't He Muzhi's narcissism, but rather a fact.
"What's wrong with him?" He Muzhi looked at Ding Yutang, who had turned and left without a word, and asked the classmates, "Was he dissatisfied with my answer? But I was just telling the truth."
"... Brother Mu, your honesty is normal for us, but it's incredibly damaging to Ding Yutang, who has ulterior motives towards our Class Monitor."
"Ding Yutang is angry because the moon doesn't shine on him; He Muzhi, don't take it to heart."
He Muzhi didn't take it to heart, turned to face the others in Class 6, and continued what he hadn't finished, "I've already distributed the data that the Class Monitor supplemented for us, and I'll send it to our group now. Everyone remember to complete your daily goals. By the way, have you all memorized the names of the teachers in each class of the Class of 26?"
"Almost there."
"No... This is really too difficult for people with face blindness."
"Just recognize the hair, facial features, or body parts."
(Class 6 chatted amongst themselves and quickly forgot about the little incident involving Ding Yutang.
They had many more important things to do than Ding Yutang, so a few words of gossip would suffice; they didn't want to waste any more time on Ding Yutang.
Ding Yutang's class and the other students from the Class of 24 class witnessed Ding Yutang's gloomy face after failing to gain any advantage from He Muzhi, and fearing to offend him, they left V-207 in groups of three or five.
"To be honest, those guys in Class 6 were pretty bold. They didn't take Ding Yutang seriously at all. They started cricketing at Ding Yutang enthusiastically before they'd even gone far."
"It's like a fox borrowing the tiger's power. If I had a Qin Su in my class, I'd walk around like a madman, even more arrogant than them. Anyway, if I get into trouble, Qin Su will cover for me."
[This is a huge misunderstanding! Class 6) was just studying! (shrugs shoulder. jpg)]
[ (Class 6 is not afraid of trouble, but they never cause trouble either, okay?]
--
The next day.
Having learned from the experience of the first afternoon, the students basically knew the procedure. At nine o'clock in the morning, the students changed into their Combat Suit, and Qin Su activated all the small Barrier Devices in the entire venue as planned.
In an instant, apart from a few black gaps between the curved walls projected by some Barrier Device, the entire venue was filled with a series of dark blue, arc-shaped containers projected from the top downwards, gradually expanding downwards.
Above each Barrier Device, the group number is displayed above the Countdown.
"Within one minute, enter the Barrier Device according to your group number; everything else remains the same."
Before anyone could process what was happening, Qin Su's voice came over the training ground's loudspeaker. Out of fear of the absolute power of the strong, no one had time to say anything before their bodies quickly entered the Barrier Devices assigned to their respective groups.
Before the one-minute Countdown had even ended, those already inside the Barrier Device had time to quietly express their bewilderment.
"How could Qin Su change his mind so suddenly? He didn't give me the slightest warning yesterday. I thought yesterday would be the same as today. In such a short time, with my group number being so low, I might not even have to experience the fear of death. This sudden turn of events is no different from sending me to the gallows at the drop of a hat!"
"Damn it, I didn't get a chance to observe and look at a few more questions!"
"Honestly, I'd rather have another real battle than undergo Qin Su's training."
"I agree, but unfortunately I can only think about it in my heart."
These words drew nods of agreement from the others. Based on what they had witnessed yesterday, the actual combat was not as brutal as the training that Qin Su, as the Head Class Monitor, had the final say on.
In actual combat, they can take advantage of the chaos and avoid getting blood on themselves.
Even now, when they are in command, their blood is still splattered on others equally.
When it comes to their own personal experience, and in order to reduce the number of times they are punished, everyone talks a big game, but from the moment the one-minute Countdown ends and their respective questions appear, everyone is completely focused and does everything they can to avoid "dying" a few times during the "settlement".
The team members, who had already completed the first round of 'problem-solving' command yesterday, were, as arranged by Qin Su, each armed themselves with weapons and responsible for different numbered Barrier Devices. They would take action when the commander inside the Barrier Device made a mistake in 'problem-solving' and caused an accident to a team member, simulating the injury situation caused by the accident with their weapons.
Qin Su remained hidden in the darkness, silently observing that his classmates' learning abilities and physical reaction speed had reached unprecedented levels, a satisfied smile secretly curving upwards at the corners of his mouth.
The system saw Qin Su smirking and checked the detailed values of the increase in favorability of the natives in the comic world. It was easy to find that apart from the favorability values generated by Class 6) and most of the students in Class (26), as well as the favorability values generated by other natives in the Comic World who saw Qin Su's past videos and experiences, the favorability values from these ten classes in Class of 24 accounted for a very small percentage.
Clearly, most of the students in these Class of 24 classes outwardly obey Qin Su's orders, but inwardly they harbor resentment towards Qin Su.
777: [You can still laugh? Doing this really attracts a lot of hatred. In the past, during training sessions like this, the favorability rating of people in the training ground would rise very quickly.]
Upon suddenly seeing the system's message appear on the Optical Brain screen, Qin Su mentally replied: [That's why everyone hates evil cultivators.]
'Evil cultivation is fast; its efficiency is immediately maximized.'
The dissatisfaction with him in the Class of 25 Alec class was only at the beginning. The higher the grade, the longer everyone stayed in the school, and the more they were influenced by the school's original practices. Naturally, they would become more and more disgusted by his sudden appearance that disrupted their original rhythm of life.
Moreover, most of the Command Class would be assigned to rear positions during actual combat, rarely facing direct danger, and were even less willing to do so now. Qin Su, who had already figured this out, accepted the situation well.
777: [... You call this heretical cultivation? It's clearly a heretical and crooked path.]
Qin Su, fearless: [So what? Just tell me if it's useful or not.]
He didn't have any particular thoughts about the Class of 24 to begin with. By adopting such a simple and crude method to get through the 'Head Class Monitor' period, he was able to allow the Class of 26 cohort to observe, experience, and learn from the Class of 24 Command Class's problem-solving approach. It wasn't a bad deal.
777:[...]
It works!
Unable to refute, 777 pondered for two seconds, then skillfully flipped through his already enormous 'Host Strategy Manual,' adding a new entry, "During my time as Head Class Monitor, I will group upperclassmen and lowerclassmen together in one space, making their fates intertwined, and causing them to harm each other during the settlement (including but not limited to making the other experience severed limbs, decapitations, dismemberment, etc.!)."
Qin Su: "..."
777 spends all day taking notes in that little notebook, and every single entry she makes is like a 'death note'.
The next person in charge mainly needs to follow his notes...
Qin Su shivered: [Don't remember it, I'm scared.]
777: [You won't let me learn from you? How can you only think about your own survival and not let others live on?]
Qin Su: [You mean you want people to live?]
777: [Yeah.]
Qin Su: "..."
The system clearly cannot distinguish between good and bad words.
To achieve this goal, I've already acted immorally; to prevent this merit from lasting... -1-1-1-1-1--
Unable to do it now, Qin Su secretly resolved that if he could in the future, the first thing he would do would be to delete the system's 'Death Note'.
By the end of the third day, all group members had completed the first round of 'problem-solving' instructions.
On the fourth day, Qin Su distributed weapons and divided Team 1 and Team 2 into two large groups, dividing the field into two separate areas. The two groups within each team then engaged in PvP battles within their respective areas.
On the fifth day, the two teams officially faced off.
During the standoff, thanks to Qin Su's modifications, whenever one group saw the other, the entire opposing group was in a different insect-like state, and the environment changed every hour.
Whether it was the fourth or fifth day, regardless of which group or team, Qin Su deliberately did not designate a commander for their PK every three hours, but silently recorded the names of the students from the Class of 26 who volunteered to serve as commanders during these two days.
During the two-day-long large-scale competition where the students' anger had reached a critical point, Qin Su deliberately did not mention what kind of punishment the losing side would receive.
Given Qin Su's previous brutal behavior, neither side wanted to suffer further pain afterward, so they went all out and launched fierce attacks. The original estrangement temporarily disappeared, and they were able to work together against a common enemy.
At 10 PM on the fifth night, Qin Su announced the end of the event.
The members of the losing Team 2 were uneasy. Based on Qin Su's usual style of training until 11 o'clock every day, the members of the Team 2 thought that Qin Su had specially set aside an hour for the losing teams. They thought they were about to be punished, but they only heard Qin Su say the word 'disband'.
Team 2: "?"
What's this? A series of blows followed by a sweet treat?
Team 2 was both bewildered and relieved.
Team 1: "?"
If we had told them there would be no punishment, they wouldn't have had to work so hard!
After the announcement of the dismissal, Qin Su clearly heard a sigh of relief coming from the members of Team 2.
"Everyone." Qin Su pretended not to hear Team 2's slackness or see Team 1's dissatisfaction, his gaze quickly sweeping over both teams. "Good night, goodbye."
After saying goodbye, Qin Su glanced at the seats of the Class Monitors of the Class of 24, nodded slightly, and left amidst the varied gazes of the crowd.
During his absence, Qin Su could feel the resentful gazes of his classmates staring at him from behind.
The resentment in the entire V-207 training ground was so thick that it could feed thousands of Evil Sword Immortals into demon kings who would dominate a region.
During this week's training, the favorability ratings of the ten classes in the Class of 24 didn't fluctuate much, proving that his suspicions were correct; everyone indeed harbored a lot of resentment towards him.
To give himself a break and to maintain goodwill among the other students, he couldn't be the 'Head Class Monitor' again when it was the turn of the next major in the Class of 24 cohort.
He needs to communicate with Class 6).
But he couldn't say it directly, lest he dampen the enthusiasm of Class 6) and make them think that he wasn't on their side.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Su began to consider his words.
No sooner had Qin Su left than a chattering sound filled the training ground.
"Phew... Finally! We got rid of him, family, we've made it through!"
"Luckily, our ten classes only took up a week of his time in the entire Class of 24. If it had been a few more days, I would have died."
"Hehe, the thought of us being free and the other classes in our grade falling into Qin Su's clutches is inexplicably exciting!"
"When Qin Su was directing the class monitor Class Monitor, a lot of people were watching. I want to go watch too."
"Jia Yi, finally it's our turn to watch others' show, but... we've been complaining about Qin Su's terrifying remarks these past few days, could it be that other classes, in order to avoid Qin Su becoming the Head Class Monitor, have arranged for their students to target (Class 6 and prevent them from winning?"
"So what if they made arrangements? With Class 6 here, is Qin Su's Head Class Monitor Position something they can just take whenever they want?"
"That's true."
Zhou Qian listened to the crickets chirping all around her, which hadn't stopped because Qin Su wasn't there, and looked awkwardly at Sophia and the others, whom she had gotten to know better through working together over the next two days.
Some people went too far with their words, making it seem like they couldn't accept defeat, which is truly laughable to the Class of 26 graduating class.
Qin Su had already left, and the students from the Class of 26 didn't linger. After exchanging farewells and adding each other's contact information, the Class Monitor Class of 24 left first.
They were a year below the others, and this place originally belonged to the Class of 24 graduating class. Even if they had a lot to say, they would automatically find another place to talk.
Watching the Class of 26 graduating class, even those not belonging to Class 6, leave in an orderly and harmonious manner under the guidance of Class 6, Zhou Qian sighed softly, "Qin Su's feng shui is truly nurturing."
The others around Zhou Qian nodded silently upon hearing this.
"Alright." Zhou Qian turned to the Class Monitors. "Let's get ready to welcome the new class of Class of 26 next week."
Upon hearing this, the Class Monitor relaxed.
'Luckily, there's only one Qin Su; if another came, they wouldn't be able to handle it.'
--
As the new Monday arrived, the first twenty classes of the Class of 26 received a notice from their Class Advisor to assemble at the new training ground.
Having learned from the experience of the previous week, the other 19 classes spontaneously arrived at the training ground ahead of time, leaving a space in front specifically for Class 6) so that Class 6) could send someone to compete.
Opposite them were the ten new classes of the Class of 24.
Despite the wary gazes of the Class of 24 graduating class, who were clearly some distance away, the 19 classes of the Class of 26 class were fearless, with some even making faces in defiance.
"It's already this late, why isn't Class 6) here yet?"
"What's the rush? There are still a full ten minutes left. Is there any problem with the big shot and his class being the last to perform? Absolutely not!"
"That's not what I'm worried about. What I'm worried about is what if the situation changes and Class 6) doesn't come? Wouldn't we have to play ourselves then?"
"Hahaha, what are you thinking? You want to go on stage yourself? You wish!"
"Yeah, you need to clear your head. You're making a fool of yourself. With Class 6 here, what business do we have?"
"I mean, it's only been a week since the last competition for Head Class Monitor. You're so forgetful, or did you suddenly become stupid?"
"You've gone mad trying to embellish your image and imply that you want to be in Class 6."
"Hmph, who knows, I might get a couple of beatings and then Qin Su might feel sorry for me and take me into Class 6."
"I know you're trying to save face, but there's no need to be so shameless. How can you use the old saying 'spare the rod and spoil the child' on Qin Su's feelings towards you?"
At the same time, Qin Su gathered Class 6 in one place and said to them the words he had thought of beforehand, "Everyone, the twenty classes of the Class of 26 are a whole, not just Class 6. Do you understand what we should do later?"
"Is the Class Monitor going to give other classes a chance to shine?" Raymond's voice rang out first.
Qin Su cast a seemingly calm but actually 'perfect score' look at Raymond, and gave a faint, strong "hmm".
'It has to be Raymond; no one can rival him when it comes to twisting his meaning.'
(Class 6 looked at each other, then answered in unison, "Received!"
The Class Monitor said these words to them specifically to give other classes a chance to shine. They couldn't imagine how touched the other classes would be if they knew.
"The Class Monitor is very thoughtful."
"Brother Su is such a nice guy!"
"Sigh, the other classes got lucky."
Walking ahead, Qin Su, who had fooled his classmates to the point of lameness, thought, "..."
He is guilty, but he will not change.
--
No need to play. When they arrived at the training ground, Class 6) automatically stood at the end of the 19 classes and made them move forward.
"Wait a minute, what's going on?!" The 19 classes that arrived early were a little confused.
"Why did Class 6) end up at the back of the group without warning?"
"Oh no, I have a bad feeling."
"Go and find out if Qin Su is upset that we didn't contribute enough in the last Head Class Monitor competition, and only let Class 6 do the hard work while we did the dirty work, haha, he feels sorry for Class 6?"
"Don't ask anymore." Lailisi looked at the message He Muzhi sent her and explained, "He Muzhi said that Qin Su specifically told Class 6) that we twenty classes are a collective, so that they can't always steal the limelight and not give us a chance to perform. He told us to cherish it and not be too moved."
"..."
Moved? No, no, no, they don't dare to move at all right now!
Although Qin Su meant well, perhaps they... don't really need such an opportunity!
How is this any different from publicly executing someone?
