Chapter 57
Qin Su had already learned from the comments that He Wenyuan had become the Class Monitor of Class 7. When Zhang Minglang, the Class Advisor Class 7, and He Wenyuan looked over, there was no surprise on his face.
The events at last night's social banquet have already spread, and everyone knows the two don't get along.
Zhang Minglang saw no sign of doubt on Qin Su's face, quickly looked away, and exchanged a glance with the Class Advisor Class 7). They both saw embarrassment in each other's eyes.
Clearly, He Wenyuan's appearance did not cause any emotional fluctuation in Qin Su.
Zhang Minglang couldn't understand how He Wenyuan, whose performance wasn't outstanding, could have received half of the votes from Class 7. It was too strange.
"Qin Su, you can go in now. The teacher suddenly remembered something and has to leave."
Zhang Minglang already felt guilty for not choosing Qin Su and showing favoritism towards other students, and didn't want to get involved in the matter between Qin Su and He Wenyuan anymore.
It's best to escape as soon as possible, pretending you didn't see He Wenyuan and are unaware of their discord, so you don't say anything wrong in front of Qin Su.
"Um."
Qin Su responded indifferently, walked past into the training ground, and didn't even glance at He Wenyuan once, as if he didn't even see him.
[Brother Su rejected He Wenyuan's advances, creating a love triangle]
[The more I read, the angrier I get. What gives He Wenyuan right? Those people who were bribed are so spineless.]
[Um... to be fair, if you were transported into a comic book and became a student in Class 7 who earned Star Coins by killing bugs to supplement the income of his family living in Poverty District of the planet, would you rather vote for He Wenyuan and receive 5,000 Star Coins, or would you rather give your vote for free to someone you don't usually interact with in class and who hasn't helped you among the Zerg captains?]
[... Well-reasoned and irrefutable; the other party isn't Su Bao, so I choose money.]
[Money +1. He Wenyuan's inner monologue when bribing people had already made it clear that, for the good of both sides, he ensured that everyone who took his money would not spread the word.]
[Everyone subconsciously believed that if only one person accepted money, it wouldn't have a significant impact on the votes. They never imagined that He Wenyuan had bribed half of the people. That's why the students of Class 7 vote were announced, yet they dared not admit that they had accepted money.]
[This Plague God is really... he has people completely under his control with money (facepalm and wry smile). No wonder only Class 6) got a full vote.]
[Class 6) chose to have a full meal every day, while the bribed students in Class 7) chose to have a full meal only once.]
Despite Qin Su's neglect, He Wenyuan's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled, appearing very approachable, but inwardly he scoffed.
Even if you can't stand him, what can you do? He has plenty of ways to achieve his goals.
The training ground was full of Class Monitor from other classes. They arrived at different times. Some had already changed into their Training Uniforms and were chatting in twos and threes, while others were changing into their Training Uniforms in the changing room.
Hearing a commotion outside, the people in the training ground subconsciously looked out and only saw two people who looked like teachers.
There's nothing worth watching.
Just as they were about to look away, a tall and slender figure appeared and stepped in from beside a teacher.
'Qin Su!'
Whether it was Qin Su, who returned from the dead yesterday daytime shrouded in a chilling aura, or Qin Su, who was surrounded by a group of adults in the center last night, they could not forget him.
Qin Su appeared before them unexpectedly, and their attention was involuntarily drawn to Qin Su. Everyone tensed up involuntarily, standing as straight as possible.
Noticing the gazes coming from all directions, Qin Su did not speak to those looking at him. On the surface, he slightly closed his dark eyes and nodded slightly in greeting.
In fact, he used his Optical Brain to photograph the figure of each Class Monitor on the scene along the way, to check if there were any who had slipped through the net and had not been remembered.
In a short time, Qin Su calmly walked to the machine under everyone's watchful eyes, skillfully took out a Training Uniform, and went into the changing room.
After closing the door and disappearing from his classmates' sight, Qin Su changed his clothes while recalling the people and environment he had observed since entering the room. He also matched the photos taken by his Optical Brain with the data on the important personnel of each class that he had memorized.
Apart from He Wenyuan was an "outsider," the other class Class Monitor at the training ground were all as he had expected, and they were all the best in their respective classes.
This includes Lailisi from Class 18, the Protagonist Group.
In a 1v1 situation... he has several years of experience, and as long as they don't use Pheromones, he can easily handle it.
If he uses Pheromones, he can barely cope by observing his opponent's tactics.
How to handle it specifically depends on the teacher's instructions later.
He adhered to only one principle: no matter how the situation changed, he had to maintain a winning position.
The White Moonlight is an existence that even a resurrected White Moonlight cannot compare to.
His disappearance during Vitelta's grand death once made him a "White Moonlight" for many.
His return to life will move all those who prayed for his survival after learning of his death, but the 'White Moonlight filter' will automatically weaken.
To put it bluntly, all the rumors about him, except for the students in class (6), were only seen in videos. The shock of the videos and the personal experience of being on the verge of death cannot be compared at all.
Students from other classes have not witnessed or personally experienced his power.
His performance in this training camp impressed and impressed the strongest Class Monitor in each class, which in turn made them subconsciously develop a sense of admiration for the strong.
In the future, if he needs to do something, having this feeling in his heart will make it much easier for him to do it than not having it at all.
To ensure his condition and awaken his body muscles, Qin Su changed into his Training Uniform and sat in the Changing Room, expressionless, reviewing the data from the class Class Monitors on the Optical Brain while simultaneously moving his limbs.
His strong sense of image makes it impossible for him to do something like stretching exercises in front of the Viewers.
--
He Wenyuan waited for a while, then said goodbye to his Class Advisor and entered the Training Ground.
Because of what happened last night, he received the same gaze as Qin Su, but with a different meaning in his eyes.
He Wenyuan seemed oblivious to the curious, scrutinizing, disgusted, and indifferent gazes. He faced everyone's eyes with equal respect, smiling broadly, and raised his hand, saying, "Hi everyone, let me introduce myself. I am He Wenyuan, the class Class Monitor of Class 7). Please take care of me in the future."
"..."
Putting everything else aside, He Wenyuan's mentality is truly stable.
Witnessing He Wenyuan's usual dagger-like demeanor once again, Lailisi couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
Most of the Class Monitors had no conflict with He Wenyuan, and since it's said that you don't hit a smiling face, many responded with smiles.
He Wenyuan's pink pupils swept over Lailisi, his face turned cold for a moment, and he went from the Training Room to the Changing Room.
If you dare to roll your eyes at him, pray you don't end up in his hands someday, otherwise...
Oh.
"What exactly did he do to make Qin Su lose all interest in dealing with him, so simply and directly humiliating him?" An Alpha whispered gossip, watching He Wenyuan figure.
Lailisi thought to herself, there are just too many reasons why she doesn't like He Wenyuan.
But others were unaware of He Wenyuan's wickedness, and she didn't understand why Qin Su disliked He Wenyuan. She didn't want to fabricate stories, so she simply shrugged, spreading her hands with a helpless expression.
"Sorry, Qing, I'm not entirely sure either. Anyway, here's my advice: if you want to be safe, stay He Wenyuan."
They still don't understand when they offended He Wenyuan.
"... Okay then."
The other class Class Monitor arrived one after another, and upon hearing that Qin Su was in the Changing Room, they unconsciously quickened their pace.
Qin Su had done his work in the Changing Room, so he Changing Room and reappeared in public.
Not knowing when the teacher would arrive, Qin Su found a seat and silently communicated with the system by typing on his skin.
Qin Su: [Is it possible to designate the Zerg to conduct the encirclement and suppression operation in the next actual combat?]
Before the system could reply, Qin Su immediately sent out a list he had already compiled:
[This list is compiled based on reports from StarNet regarding the rampant Zerg in the past two months, gathered from previous students' practical battles against the Zerg and from various planets under Federation jurisdiction.]
He is already the class Class Monitor of Class 7. According to the practical experience provided by previous students, there will be joint operations and confrontations between multiple classes in the future, and he will face more and more people.
The existing ghosts are far from enough. My sister has searched for a long time, but that's all the ghosts she has. Obviously, not every ghost can understand human speech and meet the requirements for being manipulated.
He still needed to speed up the search for the 'Gland'.
He circled each of the insects on the list that possessed 'magical attack' in red.
He further divided the insects, which were circled in red, according to their habitats.
The thought silently formed in my mind: 'Since we've already gone, we can't let it go to waste; let's just take everything.'
If things develop that way, the school certainly wouldn't be able to provide him with enough weapons to wipe out a large number of insects at once.
He has to figure it out himself.
This is the time when the senior students are hunting down the insectoids. The list of Zerg used in each year's actual combat is publicly available. After finding it, Qin Su decided to return to his 'scavenging' secondary role...
No, based on the number of weapons he needs, 'pretending to be an Alpha student' will only be his side job for the next month or so; scavenging will be his main job.
Qin Su: "..."
Beneath his glamorous exterior lies a heart that secretly loves collecting trash.
After reviewing the list, 777 stared in disbelief before replying: [You can specify.]
When did Qin Su organize this? And he's planning to wipe out so many insects at once? Is he playing with fire?
Qin Su felt relieved.
Fearing that he might be too engrossed in figuring out how to wipe out the insects and miss the teacher's arrival, he made sure to ask the system to remind him when the teacher came.
The chatter in the room paused for a moment when Qin Su appeared.
Then, seeing Qin Su sitting on a bench on the edge, seemingly dealing with something important on his Optical Brain, exuding a serious aura and showing no intention of acknowledging them, the voice rang out again.
They naturally wanted to talk to Qin Su, but the thought of Qin Su's nonchalant demeanor among the adults made them shudder.
Fearing that her conversation might bore Qin Su and be counterproductive, she decided to observe from afar.
He Wenyuan out and quickly became friends with some people with his charming eyes that smiled at everyone. However, he would occasionally glance at Qin Su unintentionally and sometimes couldn't help but touch the Glands on the back of his neck.
Today, Qin Su was still so dazzling that he easily felt jealous.
Does an overactive Gland give off a subtle, alluring charm?
That really... looks delicious.
Jiao Jinyao, who was in charge of this preliminary training, had just appeared at the entrance of the training ground when a system notification sounded in his mind, which Qin Su noticed almost simultaneously.
To demonstrate his 'sharpness', Qin Su looked towards the door before the other students could react, and stood up at the same time.
"..."
As soon as he entered, Jiao Jinyao met Qin Su's chilly gaze. He paused, almost tripping over his own feet, and quickly grabbed the door frame to steady himself.
Qin Su, who witnessed the entire process. "..."
He's very bad.
Is it too late to pretend I didn't see it?
Sometimes being too perceptive isn't good, like now, witnessing the teacher's 'embarrassing' moment.
Putting himself in the teacher's shoes Qin Su, who was desperately resisting being caught in his embarrassing moment, silently turned his head away, averting his gaze from the teacher, and pretending not to have seen anything.
Is Qin Su... trying to save face for himself?
Jiao Jinyao: "..."
Why is she kind of cute?
As expected... Jiao Jinyao thought to himself as he steadied himself:
No matter how mature and composed they may appear in their words and actions, they are still children at heart; their age is what it is!
Jiao Jinyao suddenly felt less embarrassed.
Qin Su suddenly stood up, his sharp black eyes fixed on the door, which made the other students notice Jiao Jinyao, whose hand was inexplicably resting on the door frame.
Jiao Jinyao withdrew his hand, strode towards the students, and clapped twice.
A crisp slap rang out, accompanied by his cheerful voice. "Assemble!"
Having undergone nearly a month of systematic training, the Class Monitor, whose instincts had long been honed, spontaneously lined up and assembled upon hearing the order.
He Wenyuan was the only Omega among the 118 people. Originally a beta, he was not tall. After becoming an Omega, the influence of Omega hormones prevented him from growing very tall, so he naturally stood in the first row on the right.
Seeing He Wenyuan's movement, Qin Su decisively chose the leftmost position in the last row, the one furthest from He Wenyuan.
In less than ten seconds, everyone had spontaneously assembled.
Since they weren't very familiar with each other, the arrival of the teacher gave them an excuse not to awkwardly engage in social conversation like they had before the teacher's arrival.
To save face in front of the students, most of whom were taller than him, Jiao Jinyao was 180 cm tall, had a robot bring him a chair. He stood on it and said, "Good afternoon, everyone. I am your teacher for today, Jiao Jinyao. You can call me Teacher Jiao."
It sounded like he was talking about his afternoon tea, and most of the students laughed out loud.
Hello Teacher Jiao!
Judging from Jiao Jinyao's speaking style, everyone can tell that this teacher is easy to talk to and humorous, and is happy to respond loudly.
Jiao Jinyao's face showed a satisfied expression. "Enough with the small talk, this is just a formality for everyone, so it's very simple, don't worry."
That being said, the training programs for each year's class Class Monitor are different. They might run several kilometers, operate weapons, engage in 1v1 battles within a set time, cooperate to assemble Mecha, or form teams to compete in answering questions... It all depends on what the teacher in charge of the training thinks on the day the Class Monitor is selected.
Before things become clear, no one will relax just because of Jiao Jinyao's words.
As the students waited with a hint of impatience, Jiao Jinyao's voice rang out again. "This training camp will adopt a challenge format."
"..."
Upon hearing this, the students breathed a sigh of relief.
The arena, huh? We've had those before, just casually sparring around.
Jiao Jinyao: "The rules are even simpler, that is..."
After the students were thoroughly intrigued, Jiao Jinyao continued, "No rules, reckless behavior, using every trick in the book."
Since it's a default assessment, the unrestricted, unconventional approach is the easiest way to identify weaknesses and strengths.
Students: "..."
LOL, who would take this kind of petty sparring seriously? Everyone dismissed it.
At this point, Jiao Jinyao pulled out a gun from behind his back and smiled, "Of course, you can use Pheromones appropriately along the way, but please be careful not to cross the line. Otherwise, to protect everyone's safety, I don't mind briefly cosplaying as a ruthless Suppressant injection doctor."
As he said this, Jiao Jinyao looked at He Wenyuan. It's no wonder he acted this way; He Wenyuan had a criminal record.
Even outside of their Heat Period and during relatively low-intensity training, they deliberately crossed the line, allowing their Pheromones to leak out uncontrollably and cause chaos.
He Wenyuan's skin was thicker than a city wall; the teacher's gaze had no effect on him, and he responded to the teacher's stare with an unchanged smile.
Military school is also a small society, with all kinds of people. Although He Wenyuan was displeased with He Jiao Jinyao's indifferent attitude, he did not show it on his face and looked away from the other students.
"So now the question is, who will be...?"
Before Jiao Jinyao could finish speaking, everyone had already guessed what he meant.
Qin Su had also thought of that.
Based on his past experiences and everyone's thought processes... Qin Su suddenly had a bad feeling.
Soon, Qin Su's premonition came true.
Those students who guessed what the teacher was about to say remained silent and simply retreated.
What a joke! It's better for me to die than for you, my fellow Daoist. The champion can't be knocked off the stage; he has to stay standing there forever. How tiring!
What if they were unlucky enough not to be knocked down by the people in front of them, but instead ran into Qin Su to fight...? Just imagining it made their scalps tingle.
They should just stick to being the ones challenging the reigning champion. The big shots always make their move last, so Qin Su should be the last one to challenge the champion. In other words, it's not their turn to fight Qin Su.
Among them, there are always some hot-blooded but unlucky souls who volunteer to be the champion. After all, many people had expressed their eagerness to spar with Qin Su during the previous chat, so there should be quite a few people vying for the champion title.
The students standing in the same row as Qin Su immediately thought of Qin Su and their first instinct was to leave, retreating with incredible speed.
He showed none of the anticipation he had shown when he was chatting and boasting earlier, whispering about wanting to find an opportunity to spar with Qin Su.
Because they moved so quickly, and everyone had spontaneously formed teams based on height, the crowd was so dense that most of them were meeting for the first time and didn't know each other well. They didn't even recognize each other's names. They assumed that those who wanted to stay had been left behind, and didn't notice anything unusual for a short time.
Watching his classmates leave without a trace of regret, Qin Su, "..."
He didn't want to spar with so many people, and he wanted to leave, but he couldn't.
Thanks to the persona that "because he's pretending to be a big shot, there's no way to retreat," his freedom is restricted.
Temporarily deprived of his personal freedom, Qin Su forcefully suppressed the urge to run away, remaining rooted to the spot and feigning nonchalance.
The students in front hadn't noticed yet, but the students in the last row standing next to Qin Su realized as soon as they stepped back that Qin Su, who was standing on the left side of the last row, had been 'given' away.
So... their 'shrewd and self-serving' approach backfired.
Back row students. "..."
I want to faint.
"You guys..." Watching the 'result' come out in a second, the students in the back row who were devastated upon discovering the truth, and the students in the front row who were thankful they had escaped quickly, Jiao Jinyao suppressed a laugh until his lips twitched. "I haven't even finished speaking yet."
From his vantage point of view, the entire group, except for Qin Su on the far left who remained stationary, moved to the right as a whole.
Someone in front whispered, "Teacher Jiao, just tell me, wasn't it the words 'champion' that you didn't finish saying?"
What a joke! With 118 people, who can become the champion and withstand the relentless attacks?
Although they have the desire to become stronger, they are still aware of their own limitations.
Moreover, the reigning champion also faces the risk of being challenged by Qin Su.
Jiao Jinyao could barely contain himself. "Yes."
"That settles it then." The student in the front row looked indifferent.
Back row. "..."
Why don't you turn around and take a look?
"Pfft, hahaha..." Jiao Jinyao couldn't help but laugh, "Qin Su, congratulations on becoming the champion!"
Students in the front row. "...???"
WTF?
Qin Su!
Belatedly realizing what was happening, everyone turned to look at their original meeting place, only to find that where they had been standing, there was no longer any "sucker who wanted to spar with Qin Su," but only Qin Su himself!
"..."
I want to pinch his philtrum.
Under the regretful, questioning gazes of everyone, Qin God Su calmly accepted his teacher's congratulations. "... Hmm."
They didn't want to fight him, and he didn't want to fight so many of them.
Contrary to their wishes, karma is a wheel, and none of them escaped the wrath of Heaven.
Jiao Jinyao, his cheeks aching from smiling, looked at the students who were speechless with shock. "Congratulations to you all too."
The other students forced a smile at the teacher, "..."
Haha, what's the joy about that?!
Let them hide; they've finally gotten their comeuppance.
Jiao Jinyao completely understood why the students didn't want to talk at that moment. He looked at the students on the far right of the line who looked constipated.
"Since the reigning champion, Qin Su, is standing on the far left, then from right to left, each person will proceed in turn to the opposite side of Qin Su's Qin Su and begin a thirty-second free-for-all duel."
All eyes turned to the first unlucky person.
Upon seeing that it was He Wenyuan, everyone's expressions became subtle.
