Hmph~ Oh, how interesting~
A group of people who weren't "fools" subconsciously started to compete with others and themselves, trying to figure out the logical connection.
First, the other party shouldn't be trying to make enemies of everyone and then be forced to leave the school due to cold or violent treatment from the class...
If they didn't want to be here, it was simple. A phone call before school started would have sufficed. Even if they had already arrived, if they didn't want to study, it was just a matter of paperwork.
Therefore, the other party must have had some other purpose in mind.
"Since there are no more questions, I'll leave the time to you all. Feel free to chat and get to know each other, just don't leave the classroom."
Chazhu also wanted to take this opportunity to assess the caliber of these students, to see if there was anyone who could help carry the class. He also wanted to "borrow" some of the students' ideas to help him understand Bai Lan's "true thoughts."
Soon, someone seemed to figure something out and exclaimed:
"I get it! I know why he did it!"
Everyone looked over.
The student, while enjoying the attention, said mysteriously, "He wants to... show off!"
"Get lost!" x30+
"Alrighty~"
After a while.
"Did you figure it out?"
"No..."
"Nope."
"Maybe we should think about it again later. The opening ceremony is about to start, and I need to use the restroom."
"Then go!"
"You guys are being so serious, I'm afraid..."
The handsome guy stood up again. "Alright then, let's leave it at that for now. We'll get ready and attend the opening ceremony. As for that guy... I just checked the seating chart, his name is Ayanokoji Kiyotaka..."
"Um, I'm Ayanokoji Kiyotaka..."
"Huh?"
7. Poisonous Strategist Bai Lan, Chaos Strike Across the Land
"Um, I'm Ayanokoji Kiyotaka..."
Ayanokoji quickly spoke up.
He was worried that if he didn't clarify immediately, all the trouble Bai Lan had stirred up would fall on him.
At the same time, he knew that even if he spoke up, it would be too late.
Because, from this moment on, his name had already gained some notoriety because of Bai Lan...
From this moment on, he was bound to be caught in a storm named "Bai Lan" as its eye.
Was the life of an ordinary person... over just like that?
No! I can still be ordinary, let me continue to be ordinary!
"Huh? You're Ayanokoji Kiyotaka? Then who is he?"
"His name is Bai Lan."
The handsome guy: "Huh? Did you guys switch seats?"
Ayanokoji: "Yes, he said he liked it there, and that I suited this spot, so..."
"You switched seats, and you seemed to be chatting quite happily... " The handsome guy mused, "Your relationship..."
At this point, the handsome guy seemed to feel the killing intent from those around him. For Ayanokoji's safety, he didn't continue but changed the subject with a sunny smile, "Ayanokoji-kun, can we exchange contact information?"
"Uh, sure."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka felt that he had ultimately gotten entangled in trouble...
Meanwhile.
After Bai Lan left Class D's classroom, he didn't wander around.
Bai Lan's early departure wasn't just to stir up animosity.
He planned to take this opportunity to implement another plan for dropping out.
Bai Lan had named this dropout plan "Chaos Strike"!
During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a man named Jia Xu, courtesy name Wenhe, who had the ability to "disrupt the world with a single word" and was known by the world as the "Poisonous Strategist."
In a certain gacha game today, Jia Xu was made into a card with a skill called "Chaos Strike."
When "Chaos Strike" was activated, everyone had to "attack" the most recently targeted character, or they would lose one HP.
Those who were originally at peace could only attack others to protect their own interests under the effect of "Chaos Strike."
This skill is terrifying, but thankfully it's a "limited skill" that can only be used once per game.
Today, Bai Lan intends to play the role of Jia Xu and activate "Chaos Strike"!
He wants to instigate conflict among the four classes.
To be precise, the conflict isn't entirely caused by Bai Lan.
Based on the information he obtained, he deduced that even without his push, the school would initiate this conflict on its own before long.
All Bai Lan is doing is bringing it forward.
Once the conflict begins, some people, tempted by the school's promises, will surely be unable to resist revealing their true nature and resorting to desperate, dirty tactics.
As soon as Bai Lan finds such individuals, he will actively get involved.
Bai Lan will not pass up that opportunity. Without any psychological barriers, he will beat them until the school has no choice but to issue him a disciplinary action.
He'll find one and beat one.
Once he accumulates enough disciplinary actions from fighting.
Then comes...
Expulsion!
Expulsion!
Expulsion!
If he fails to accumulate enough disciplinary actions in the ensuing chaos and gets caught up in it, that's fine too. This move has a backup plan.
After all, the "Chaos Strike" is second only to "Arrow Barrage" in its ability to draw aggro.
This is exactly the kind of aggro Bai Lan wants.
When everyone is fully engaged in the fight and has suffered some "casualties," Bai Lan will then secretly reveal himself, leaking the fact that he was the "mastermind."
Once exposed, he will draw the ire of all four classes in the entire grade at once.
It's like how World War II, despite being a historical inevitability, still had many people blaming a single fuse for most of its sins.
As the fuse that single-handedly destroyed the "unity" of the entire grade, even if he didn't violate any school rules, the school probably wouldn't tolerate him.
Not to mention the fights Bai Lan had during the chaos...
If Bai Lan continues to stay in such an enemy-on-all-sides environment, the school would inevitably worry about the possibility of a homicide occurring on campus someday...
As for how Bai Lan will initiate the conflict, it's by—
Selling information!
Using information to guide the four classes into conflict.
And incidentally, making some quick cash.
Bai Lan enjoys playing survival games.
For Bai Lan, the meaning of survival games isn't about testing his ability to survive in various desperate situations, but about figuring out how to live safely, comfortably, and interestingly anywhere.
Safety is not a concern for now.
After all, there are no man-eating beasts in the school, and campus violence doesn't involve firearms.
With his skills and the "Overlord" skill, even if someone tries to mess with him, he can at least defend himself if he can't win.
As for comfort and fun, that depends on having sufficient resources.
In the wild, Bai Lan needs to collect fuel, materials for building and crafting tools, water, food, medicine, and many other resources. He can't do without any of them, and the more resources he has, the more comfortable and secure his life will be.
Human society is different. Almost all human resources can be converted into money, and money can then be converted into almost all resources.
And at Advanced Nurturing High School, points are the equivalent of money.
Since Teacher Chazhu said that points can buy anything in this school, then all he needs to do is collect points.
While executing his expulsion plan, he'll also collect some resources to improve his quality of life.
It's a win-win!
As the saying goes, time is money.
This is even more true for information.
He's leaving early to ensure he can convert this precious time into more money!
Because he's leaving early, when Bai Lan left the classroom, the other three classes in the first year were still sitting in their classrooms.
Bai Lan plans to visit classes A, B, and C.
