Still wondering why the system's task had yet to appear,

Huo Yuhao heard the system's voice.

Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have successfully unlocked a new task!

Task issued: Become the Class Monitor. Task reward: Blind Box ×1.

Huo Yuhao froze for a moment.

"This task is so easy? Isn't the reward basically being handed to me for free?"

He clearly remembered

that Huo Yuhao in the original story had also become the Class Monitor.

Although he had not been the strongest in the class, he had ultimately been chosen as Class Monitor.

But as he thought of this, Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered.

The reason Huo Yuhao in the original story had succeeded was mainly because he had earned everyone's approval through his unique personal charisma.

He had clearly been the weakest, yet he had possessed the greatest perseverance, becoming someone everyone admired.

But Huo Yuhao could not do that this time.

Because he could now beat Wang Dong with ease, he had already become the strongest in the class.

So things would probably develop somewhat differently this time.

"I wonder whether this will affect the ending."

Huo Yuhao let out a breath.

"Whatever. No matter what, I'm definitely becoming Class Monitor."

"I wonder what I'll get from the Blind Box this time."

"I already have a Self-Created Soul Skill, and my physique has improved a little too."

"If I can get a new martial soul, some Pills to strengthen my body, or maybe a soul bone, that would be pretty good too."

Huo Yuhao kept thinking, filled with anticipation for what was inside the Blind Box.

He checked the time and realized class would be starting soon.

Today was the first day of school, and his task was to become Class Monitor. He could not be late and ruin his first impression.

So Huo Yuhao hurriedly got up, washed up, and headed straight out.

But what surprised him was that Wang Dong had already gotten up early.

The girl seemed to have an extremely competitive nature. After being defeated by him yesterday, she had been unable to let it go.

Early that morning, she had gone outside to cultivate.

As she trained, she muttered to herself, "Dirty Scoundrel, I'll definitely defeat you! Then I'll spank you too, until your butt blooms!"

Just as Huo Yuhao stepped outside, Wang Dong turned her face away and gave a somewhat haughty snort.

Then, carrying a small backpack, she left.

Huo Yuhao did not pay her any mind.

He went to the cafeteria and used the little money he had left to buy some breakfast before hurrying toward the classroom.

When Huo Yuhao arrived, there were not many students in the classroom yet.

He found a reasonably placed seat and sat down. One after another, he saw the other students entering the classroom.

But these students were rather interesting. After entering the classroom, every single one of them first claimed the desks at the back of each row.

This resulted in a certain situation.

The desks at the front were occupied almost entirely by Huo Yuhao and a few female students.

Most of the male students sat toward the back, making the classroom somewhat polarized.

Moreover, it was the first day of school, and they were all lower-grade students. They had come from all over and most did not know one another, so the entire class was exceptionally quiet.

But based on Huo Yuhao's experience, this quiet atmosphere would probably be broken in a few days.

There were already a few social butterflies in the class itching to make a move.

Influenced by them,

when the teachers came to class in a few days, they would probably see a scene as bustling as a marketplace.

And by then, the teacher would say that famous line—your class is the noisiest in this entire Teaching Building.

At the thought, the corners of Huo Yuhao's lips rose.

Just then, someone entered through the classroom door. It was an elderly woman.

Her skin was wrinkled and her hair was white, tied up atop her head. She wore a white robe and had a medium build.

Most unusually, she had a pair of exceptionally bright eyes. Her black pupils gleamed sharply.

Huo Yuhao's martial soul was the Spirit Eye, and he also possessed a divine skill like the Eye of Illusory Break, so he immediately sensed a powerful spiritual pressure emanating from the elderly woman.

He straightened his back slightly, while the other students in the class also grew somewhat solemn.

The elderly woman casually swept her gaze across everyone before saying, "My name is Zhou Yi, and I am your homeroom teacher. I am not sure how many of you will be able to make it through the coming year with me. But I will tell you this: in my class, no trash will pass the assessment. What I want to cultivate are monsters, not idiots."

The seated students felt somewhat angered by her words, but none dared to react, as Zhou Yi's presence had already intimidated them all.

Huo Yuhao, however, remained seated without comment, waiting for Zhou Yi to continue.

Zhou Yi did not pause and quickly added, "Stand up if you have gotten into a fight during these past few enrollment days."

The students looked at one another. Some of them had indeed fought, after all. Children had hot tempers and could easily start throwing punches over a disagreement.

But after glancing around and seeing no one stand up, they chose not to stand either. They had not fought in front of Zhou Yi, so how could she possibly know?

But at that moment, Huo Yuhao stood up.

The reason he stood was because he knew the plot.

Standing up here would earn Zhou Yi's favor, which would be very helpful when he competed for the position of Class Monitor later.

Naturally, Huo Yuhao would not pass up such an opportunity to gain an NPC's favor. Without another word, he stood up, and Zhou Yi's favorability immediately increased by +1.

Wang Dong had not thought that much about it.

If Huo Yuhao stood, then she stood. She was not afraid of trouble; she simply wanted to prove herself.

"Only two?" Zhou Yi raised a brow.

"What a bunch of trash. You dare to act, but not to admit it. Everyone except these two, get out and run one hundred laps around Shrek Square. If you do not finish, you will be expelled."

As soon as she finished speaking, the entire class erupted. Zhou Yi had no evidence that they had fought, and some among them truly had not fought at all.

Thus, a student stood up in dissatisfaction. "Teacher, I refuse to accept this. Why should we be punished when we didn't fight?"

Zhou Yi merely replied indifferently, "Because I said so. If you refuse to accept it, you can get lost. As the homeroom teacher, I have the authority to expel every one of you. You have one minute. If I still see any of you here instead of running around Shrek Square after one minute, the entire class will be expelled."

As she spoke, a terrifying aura surged forth from her body.

Then, six Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black—appeared around her body.

Zhou Yi added, "One final reminder: you only have one shichen. Anyone who has not completed one hundred laps within that time will be deemed unqualified. This is your first assessment after entering the academy. Fail, and you will withdraw from school."

Hearing this, the students immediately went to run.

There was nothing they could do. They could not beat her, and she could expel them whenever she wanted.

They had worked so hard to enter Shrek Academy. They did not want to be expelled just like that, so they could only obediently go running.

Very soon, only Zhou Yi, Wang Dong, and Huo Yuhao remained in the classroom.

Zhou Yi carefully studied Huo Yuhao, while Huo Yuhao looked back at her. Their eyes met.
