Chapter 174
Upon hearing this, Qin Su paused in his turn, his gaze naturally falling on the speaker from above. He didn't miss the fleeting moment of guilt the other person showed when he looked over, and roughly understood the other person's probing intention.
As the other person quickly looked away, Qin Su glanced at the other students who had been newly admitted to Class 6) today and the silent crowd watching, until they were equally curious about what answer he would give.
Qin Su glanced at the new member of Class 6 who had spoken first, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Jim, you'll have to ask Teacher Mei."
Mei Qingyu is a kind and compassionate instructor of Individual Combat Comprehensive Training Courses.
He acted first and reported later, Aiseboer did not question it, which to some extent meant that the Fourth Military Academy tacitly approved of what he could do at the Fourth Military Academy.
This naturally includes training programs specifically for Class 6).
The newly joined Class 6 members and other students from the Fourth Military Academy were curious whether he would directly refuse the teacher's intervention and make all the decisions himself, while also waiting to judge and test their understanding of the Fourth Military Academy from his answer.
Answering with things like "Individual Combat Comprehensive Training Courses" is too simplistic; that's just the content of the course schedule that every student in the Class of 26 received.
However, the course schedule did not include the names of the subject teachers. As a 'newcomer' who had not yet actually taken any courses at the Fourth Military Academy, he directly pointed out who the subject teacher for tomorrow's class was, and also indicated that he would not overstep the teacher's 'authority' and that tomorrow's class would proceed as scheduled.
As a newcomer, his understanding of many things was limited to superficial data and videos, and he had no practical experience whatsoever. He didn't miss the opportunity to be arrogant when he needed to be, but he also couldn't be arrogant when he needed to be humble.
In this place that is theoretically 'familiar' but actually unfamiliar, leaving a good impression on the 'local' teacher won't do him any harm.
Fortunately, he has always been afraid of not performing well if he tries to cram at the last minute, so he has a habit of preparing in advance. Otherwise, even if he had a perfect answer in mind, he wouldn't actually be able to give a proper answer.
Qin Su secretly decided to reward himself by continuing to memorize the list of personnel from the Fourth Military Academy when he got back.
With his thoughts back, Qin Su no longer looked at anyone present, nor did he linger. He turned around and calmly left the platform amidst the various expressions on everyone's faces, stepping down the stairs.
In fact, while looking at the road ahead, Qin Su was also observing the reactions of everyone after his answer through the Electronic Eyes around 66F Zone.
Jim muttered nervously to himself, "Does Qin Su have a bad impression of me now? Damn it, I shouldn't have asked in the first place. If I hadn't asked, Qin Su wouldn't have given me that cold look, and I wouldn't have..."
Someone interrupted his rambling, "That's enough, Jim, calm down."
"Ha." Jim sneered. "You're not the ones involved, so you're naturally happy to make sarcastic remarks. You know how much Qin Su knows about our school, even the most trivial things like which teachers teach which subjects, and you also know that Qin Su won't be too privileged. But me? I asked the question, so if Qin Su has any complaints, he'll only target me. Only when I'm hurt will the world be achieved."
"..."
No need.
Forget about being angry or not. Looking at the Life Points that the natives had converted into increased favorability after his answer, Qin Su was very certain that he felt only gratitude, not disgust, towards Jim.
Silently watching Qin Su leave, the first person Lailisi and her two companions looked for in this unfamiliar environment was He Muzhi, and He Muzhi also walked towards the three of them.
The four of them had each taken almost half the distance and were in the current (Class 6's 'half-baked' area, so they inevitably heard Jim and other pure Fourth Military Academy students talking.
Without a second thought, He Muzhi spoke up to defend Qin Su: "Don't worry, our Class Monitor wouldn't take such trivial matters to heart."
"Exactly." Raymond, who was walking in the direction of Xuan Jingxi, said without thinking, "What kind of class is she? Does she even deserve to be in our Class Monitor's heart? Even if she holds a grudge, it's impossible."
Raymond's words were anything but polite; his entire statement practically slapped the message, "You Fourth Military Academy, don't flatter yourselves," right in their faces.
Jim blushed, and the others from the Fourth Military Academy around him were also taken aback by Raymond's blunt and rude words, momentarily speechless, their eyes fixed on Raymond's direction.
His eyes no longer held any lingering resentment towards Qin Su; only a desire to kill Raymond remained in them.
'Although the words are crude, the reasoning is sound, but this is just too infuriating!'
Original (Class 6 members. "..."
'With Raymond's mouth, he'd better pray he never falls into poverty, otherwise, given the grudges he's accumulated, they could stab him a thousand times over without repeating themselves.'
"Hey, Senior Xuan, what a coincidence!"
Raymond's eyes were only fixed on the desire to display his peacock feathers; he completely ignored the daggers the Fourth Military Academy students glared at him after hearing his words.
He's always loved being the center of attention.
--
By the time the news reached the Leichakan 299th Military Academy, it was already the Nth source, and the 'fact' had become:
"Hey, did you hear? Raymond said the guys from the Fourth Military Academy don't deserve Qin Su's attention."
"I heard it before. My friend at the Fourth Military Academy said that although Qin Su chose the Fourth Military Academy, he didn't take the people there seriously at all. Even the expansion of Class 6) was just to slap the Fourth Military Academy the face. Most of the people who got in were from the Zerg Fourth Military Academy."
"That's not all. A friend of mine said that Qin Su has become a local tyrant at the Fourth Military Academy."
"Damn it, Qin Su has openly declared that his heart belongs only to the people of the Zerg Fourth Military Academy!"
"What? Many students at the Fourth Military Academy, unable to win Qin Su's favor and get his 'love ticket, 'Qin Su are now willing to become part of Qin Su's hate list in order to make a lasting impression on him? Are they competing to be the number one person Qin Su hates? Is this news true?"
"Absolutely authentic. A guy named Jim came up with a clever idea, deliberately trying to attract Qin Su's attention in public."
"People are going to great lengths just to get associated with Qin Su when they can't have him... Forget it, I'm not acting anymore. I just want to know where I can get my hate number? I want to get in line."
Breaking news! Qin Su may hold a fan meeting for "The Number of Hatred" in the distant future!
Breaking news! Qin Su's lottery number has reached number 9!
"So what if the Zerg Fourth Military Academy has Qin Su's love? Haven't they heard the saying, 'Hate lasts longer than love'? As long as we live long enough, we'll surpass them sooner or later!"
"Beet!"
[Live on, live on, anyway, those who outlive you aren't as outrageous as you.]
[This rumor is absolutely outrageous! His dad opened the door to something even more outrageous! I would have believed it if I didn't know the truth.]
[If you ask me, they shouldn't be called geniuses anymore; they should just be discharged.]
[@mental hospital]
Inside the P7290 Double Dormitory at the 299th Military Academy on Leichakan Planet, a voice uttering curses and swears could be heard.
"Damn it! It's one thing for us Military Academy students to take it, but we're the ones who have a chance to meet Qin Su. Why are those ordinary citizens trying to take it from us?"
"Do you want Xuan Jingcheng Qin Su's number? We're already at number... Oh no, there aren't any left!"
Xuan Jingcheng was carrying a worn-out showerhead as he left the dormitory, was called out. After understanding what was happening, he was full of question marks.
"???"
So, he doesn't even have a strong hatred for Qin Su anymore?
Xuan Jingcheng quickly lost track of Qin Su, because his idiot roommate, who was busy trying to snatch Qin Su's number plate from some random link, saw the broken showerhead in his hand and bombarded him with a series of questions.
"Xuan Jingcheng, what do you mean? You got so angry that you broke the showerhead. How are we supposed to take a shower now?"
Xuan Jingcheng gritted his teeth; the terrible few days he had spent there had made his voice almost roar, "It broke on its own!"
He took it out to ask his brainless roommate if he would change it.
In the days before He Muzhi took him in during his most destitute and wandering years, he had never used such an ancient thing. Even the things he secretly sneaked into ordinary people's homes were more advanced than this. He even suspected that this damn showerhead was deliberately trying to scam him, holding its breath and cracking when he reached out to take it off.
'This damned Leichakan Planet might as well just explode; it has no reason to exist.'
[I never imagined people in the Interstellar World would use showerheads, hahaha]
[This is what happens when you fall behind to a certain extent.]
[Earth:? I suggest deleting this. A friend from my planet is a bit upset about it.]
[Putting everything else aside, Vision finally got home only to be met with a bunch of old, clinging furniture that were practically on their last legs, waiting to scam me, which led to me getting a double beating from my parents. Xuan Jingcheng is really too pitiful.]
[Thanks for the invitation, but let's leave that aside (deathly smile)]
--
The course time at the Fourth Military Academy starts at 7:00 a. m. According to the course schedule issued by the class Class Advisor Zhang Minglang, Class 6) had arrived at 23O Zone before 7:00 a. m.
Since the teacher was in charge, Qin Su, wanting to leave a good impression, decided to act obediently and arrived at the training ground early without scouting the location.
Yesterday, during the expansion of enrollment, most of the people recruited into Class 6) of the Zerg Fourth Military Academy were Class Monitor from the previous Fourth Military Academy Class of 26 of the Zerg, so their social skills were naturally excellent.
Qin Su easily noticed that, with the Class Monitor taking the lead, the students from the Zerg Fourth Military Academy, who were only half-acquainted with the original (Class 6 students yesterday, had already become quite familiar with the Class 6 students.
As for the Fourth Military Academy section... it basically remains in a 'sashimi' state.
Forcing them to communicate amicably will only make them more resentful of each other.
These things can't be rushed. Qin Su only glanced at it as he passed by and had no intention of interfering.
When the Class Monitor of the Fourth Military Academy Class of 26 of the Zerg saw Qin Su, they suppressed their excitement and approached Qin Su one after another with restraint to chat.
The original 499 People from Class 6 approached discreetly, maintaining a distance to eavesdrop.
Although they are now in the same class, they still can't help but treat the newcomer as an outsider.
The group from the Fourth Military Academy wanted to get closer, but due to various reasons, they could only stay on the periphery. They were afraid that if they took the initiative to approach the group from the original (Class 6, they would be ridiculed by their own people. They also did not want the group from the original (Class 6 to think that they were 'self-deprecating', since they were just people from the original (Class 6, not Qin Su.
One hundred percent of them came specifically for Qin Su.
Although the voices never stopped at the scene, and it was a Class 6), anyone could sense the eerie atmosphere in the air.
There are many rumors about Qin Su. Mei Qingyu has seen the domineering and arrogant Qin Su on internal Forums, StarNet, and live broadcasts, but she has never seen Qin Su in his daily life.
Filled with curiosity, Mei Qingyu arrived at the training area at 6:55 a. m.
Upon arrival, Mei Qingyu saw the original group of Class 6 and the group from the Zerg Fourth Military Academy spontaneously surrounding Qin Su. They were a certain distance away from Qin Su. When talking to the people around them, Mei Qingyu couldn't help but look in the direction of Qin Su, 'being wary' of the people talking to Qin Su.
Qin Su noticed her presence the moment she approached, raised his hand to signal the people around him to be quiet, and then looked in her direction, giving her a slight nod in greeting without being humble or arrogant.
Mei Qingyu smiled and nodded back to Qin Su.
Others also saw Mei Qingyu. The students from the Fourth Military Academy finally saw someone they recognized, and temporarily escaped the atmosphere that seemed to exclude them from Class 6). They breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Mei Qingyu's location, greeting her one after another.
"Teacher Mei."
"Teacher, you're here!"
What exercises are we practicing today, teacher?
Mei Qingyu smiled at them, knowing that the Fourth Military Academy students were eager to use her as an 'acquaintance' to ease the awkwardness of not being able to fit into the atmosphere of Class 6), and walked over. "What's the rush? You'll find out soon enough."
In unfamiliar environments, many people will subconsciously look for familiar objects. When the people of Fourth Military Academy Class 6 of the Zerg saw Mei Qingyu, they subconsciously looked at Qin Su.
Before his classmates could look over, Qin Su ended his conversation with Blumer beside him and strode towards Mei Qingyu, taking the lead to ensure that the members of the Zerg Fourth Military Academy did not become too 'out of touch' with the rest of the Fourth Military Academy.
The people around Qin Su naturally followed.
The new recruits to Class 6) of the Fourth Military Academy were all recruited from various classes in the Class of 26. When they were in their respective classes, they were basically the top in terms of background, personal strength, Pheromone level, etc. Although they banded together in an unfamiliar environment, they did not think that any of them could lead the others.
As they stopped not far from Mei Qingyu, they caught a glimpse of the group from the Zerg Fourth Military Academy out of the corner of their eyes. Qin Su moved, and they followed suit, walking over with a mind that followed Qin Su's lead. Their expressions varied, and they unconsciously remained silent, subconsciously stepping aside to let him pass.
Of course, this only applies to Qin Su.
The others in Class 6)... were just taking advantage of the benefits of being in the Zerg Fourth Military Academy, and met Qin Su earlier. They just appeared by Qin Su's side a little later. Given enough time, none of them are irreplaceable.
The Zerg Fourth Military Academy personnel quickly sensed something was wrong, and the tension gradually escalated.
Ignoring the changes around him, Qin Su stopped at a suitable distance from Mei Qingyu and said in a solemn and respectful voice, "Good morning, Teacher Mei."
"Good morning, Qin Su." Despite her curiosity about Qin Su, Mei Qingyu didn't say much. After briefly responding to Qin Su's greeting, she scanned everyone present and said in a gentle voice, "Everyone, change into your regular Training Uniform and assemble within three minutes."
There were exactly three minutes left until seven o'clock.
Qin Su, along with his classmates, scanned their IDs at the side machine to receive their Training Uniforms and headed straight for the Changing Room.
The ordinary Training Uniforms of the Fourth Military Academy are different from those of the Zerg Fourth Military Academy; even the ordinary Training Uniforms of the Zerg Fourth Military Academy have a certain degree of defensive capability.
Qin Su looked down at the Training Uniform he had received. The only difference between it and ordinary clothes was that it had the same uniform attributes as school uniforms, and it had no defensive capabilities whatsoever.
Based on the training environment in 23O Zone, Qin Su made some guesses about Mei Qingyu's training.
The three-minute incident passed quickly, and Class 6) assembled. Qin Su, as the Class Monitor, stood on the far left of the first row.
Mei Qingyu unfolded her personal Optical Brain, which displayed a series of detailed rules. "Read them carefully."
If it was just a guess at first, now that Qin Su has seen the details presented by Teacher Mei, he is eighty percent certain.
Sure enough, Mei Qingyu's voice rang out the next second. "Today's training is Assassination."
Humans are far more sophisticated than the Zerg, who act on instinct. Both armies wear protective Combat Suits and use weapons.
The training methods and approaches for human Military Academies naturally differ somewhat from those for Zerg Military Academies. The goal is to achieve victory in war at a lower cost and minimize harm to civilians, making Assassination more profitable than warfare.
Assassination includes numerous individual training exercises and is one of the comprehensive assessment methods.
"!"
Upon hearing Mei Qingyu's words and seeing the 'Weapon Disassembly' item included in the Assassination rules, the original (Class 6 members' eyes shone with excitement.
There's a thrill in finding something familiar in an unfamiliar environment.
It turns out that when they were still at the Zerg Fourth Military Academy, Qin Su had already planned what would happen to them at the current Fourth Military Academy.
Otherwise, why would Qin Su deliberately have them practice Assassination using Zerg Military Academy weapons, carrying important weapons separately, when they were still Zerg Military Academy students on missions?
'We've got everyone in touch!'
(Class 6 6 looked at Qin Su with particularly intense eyes.
The students from the Fourth Military Academy, puzzled and forgetting their 'hostile' relationship, were only driven by a thirst for gossip. "What was with Qin Su's look?"
The students in Class 6) were never stingy with their sharing about Qin Su's special treatment of them. "You might not believe it, but I'm only just realizing that the moment Qin Su appeared at the Fourth Military Academy, it was already destined that the Zerg Military Academy would cease to exist."
"That's right, from the very beginning, Qin Su has been leading us in the direction of today's Military Academy."
"?"
"I don't understand, but you guys are very strange."
"Tsk, you'll find out soon enough."
"Sigh, you wouldn't understand if you hadn't experienced it."
The students of the Fourth Military Academy: "..."
They shouldn't have asked so many questions in the first place.
After giving everyone a few minutes to review the details, Mei Qingyu looked in Qin Su's direction and said, "Qin Su, from now on, I will be in charge of the 500 new students who were recruited into Class 6 yesterday, and you will be in charge of the 499 People from the original Class 6. You will be divided into two teams and engage in Assassination competition with each other."
Qin Su roughly understood what Teacher Mei meant. He first took a step forward, raised his hand, and assumed a standard "received" military posture, then looked at the people from the Zerg Fourth Military Academy.
Not to mention Teacher Mei, he himself was also very curious about what achievements Class 6) would make in the Fourth Military Academy's Teamwork Conference for the first time without his participation.
With just a glance, the students from Class 6 all gathered in another place.
"What kind of move is that? So cool!"
"Back when we were at the Zerg Fourth Military Academy, we didn't have any of these things. It seems like we were really wronged."
"Come on, you'll be unhappy if you really don't run into Qin Su at the Fourth Military Academy."
"As expected of our Class Monitor, she knows so much."
Seeing that Class 6 was assembling quickly, Mei Qingyu gestured for Qin Su come over. When Qin Su reached her side, she whispered to him in a voice only she and Qin Su hear, "You and I will be the assassination targets of our respective teams this time."
[...6]
[To know how to play well, you need a good teacher; the value of experience and wisdom is once again demonstrated.]
[Expect the original (Class 6 to act swiftly and fiercely, only to arrive at the scene to find themselves bewildered upon discovering that their assassination target is Qin Su]
[Teacher Mei brought a killer move specifically targeting Qin Su in this match, that's really wicked, hahaha]
[I don't know how to view Baby 1 Qin Su]
Qin Su: "... Hmm."
He just looks at it with his eyes; he won't look at it from all angles before forwarding it to his family.
Although Teacher Mei's silence surprised Qin Su, it did not affect the time it took for him to respond.
In Mei Qingyu's view, the moment she finished speaking, Qin Su responded calmly without any personal emotion, showing no surprise or intention to refute her hidden conditions.
"Qin Su, could you tell me in advance what you would choose between them?"
"Teacher Mei," Qin God Su, showing no remorse whatsoever, "This question doesn't require thinking."
'Of course, it's myself.'
Whether as Assassination target or from his own perspective, he will always choose himself, without a doubt.
Mei Qingyu understood Qin Su's meaning and nodded. "Very good."
"What are Teacher Mei and the Class Monitor talking about? Why are they avoiding us?"
"Lip reading, where is my lip-reading interpreter?"
"Do you have some serious eye problem? Didn't you see that they were talking face-to-face and deliberately trying to hide their lip movements? Even a level 10 lip reader couldn't see that!"
"Damn it, what is it that the esteemed Class 6 people cannot listen to?"
"Can you be more honorable than Qin Su and your teacher?"
"That can't be... Damn, I get it now, no wonder we can't listen."
The students in Class 6, whose curiosity was not satisfied, kept cricketing, but no one dared to ask any questions.
Mei Qingyu received the expected answer and turned to face the students again as they whispered and speculated below.
The students who had been talking stopped talking and looked at Qin Su, who had also turned around, their eyes filled with bright curiosity.
Mei Qingyu ignored everyone's strong desire for gossip. "The Assassination training will begin in five minutes. The entire Assassination will last for five hours. The two teams will compete against each other. There are two scoring points. Scoring point 1: According to the rules of this Assassination training, the team that reaches the final mission room first within the rules will get 1 point. Scoring point 2: The team that completes the Assassination of the target first will get 1 point. The winning reward is yet to be determined."
"During this period, in order to ensure fairness and impartiality, and to allow you to conduct this Assassination operation without external influence, Qin Su and I will be watching your every move from behind the scenes."
Mei Qingyu did not intend to tell the team from Class 6) that their Assassination target was Qin Su.
"Did you all understand?"
"Understood!" came the unified voices.
Mei Qingyu looked at Qin Su: "Qin Su, is it a problem that you have three minutes to plan the Assassination?"
"... no problem."
Although teaching someone to 'Assassination' him was a bit strange, he had no reason to refuse.
Teacher Mei was curious about who he would choose between himself and them, and he was also curious about how they would choose between themselves and winning, given their current level of interaction.
