"The basis for the school's class assignments."
And things like "A little trick to guarantee a 99% advancement/employment rate"...
Although the contents of this information varied, they all had one thing in common.
They would all stir up the competitive spirit of the various classes and teach them how to compete.
Whether they wanted a higher quality of life next month,
or wanted to get a bite of the pie the school had painted for them,
every class would definitely try every possible way to distinguish themselves and take part in the struggle.
When Bai Lan arrived at Class B, he found everyone there happily introducing themselves.
When Bai Lan appeared in Class B and announced his identity,
a beautiful girl with long, straight pink hair and a generous, tolerant nature stood up:
"So you're Bai from Class D! Welcome, welcome! I'm Honami Ichinose, and I welcome you to Class B on everyone's behalf~
"But isn't this the time for the opening guidance meeting? Is it really okay for you to come to our class now?"
Under the leadership of Class B's "big sister," Ichinose, the others also launched their offensive on Bai Lan:
"Bai, come play with us."
"Bai, um... want to exchange contact information?"
"Bai, want to join the soccer club together?"
They were far too enthusiastic.
Bai Lan was so startled that he took two steps back.
Class B gave Bai Lan the impression of...
Where had these little angels come from?
It even made Bai Lan feel a little embarrassed about scamming them.
Still, business was business.
After dealing with their enthusiasm, Bai Lan sorted out the thoughts that had been melted down by it, then hinted at the "bloodiness" and "cruelty" of this school, trying to sell them anxiety so he could raise the price.
But at that moment, their representative, the archangel Honami Ichinose, actually led the entire class in persuading Bai Lan instead.
"Bai, don't look at things so darkly."
"We're all classmates. We can definitely get along harmoniously."
"Even if we have to compete, friendship should come first and the competition second."
"Bai, did something happen to you in the past? Don't be afraid. We'll help you from now on."
Heaven help me!
Although he had been selling them a little anxiety, this school really was anxiety-inducing. What he had said was basically all true!
Bai Lan felt that he really couldn't win an argument against them alone.
Faced with a group of people who sincerely wanted to treat him well, Bai Lan couldn't bring himself to say anything too harsh. Nearly purified, he could only throw out one final line: "You'll regret this!"
Then he fled in disarray.
Class B was terrifying indeed.
This was the most pathetic defeat Bai Lan had ever suffered in an argument...
Well, it couldn't even really be considered an argument.
Besides, he hadn't sold a single piece of information.
Still, in order to initiate the "chaotic era," Bai Lan had deliberately hinted at a few things during the "argument," hoping these naive fools would notice them.
In short, he had suffered a huge loss this time.
After Bai Lan left.
Class B.
"Haha~ Bai is a little shy."
The speaker was Chie Hoshinomiya, Class B's homeroom teacher.
Hoshinomiya's appearance gave off a soft, gentle, approachable, and easily deceived impression.
However, this was merely her disguise. Beneath that soft and gentle exterior was a scheming, dark-hearted woman.
She could actually tell that Bai Lan had truly come to sell information.
It might even have been important information.
Yet the people of Class B had used their enthusiasm to forcibly "drive" him away...
Moreover, from the things Bai Lan had said while "arguing" with Class B, Hoshinomiya had picked up a great deal of information that was useful to Class B, as well as genuine and effective.
Why did it feel deliberate?
Hadn't this Bai Lan come to sell information?
How had he "given it away for free"?
Could it be...
Hoshinomiya subconsciously looked at Honami Ichinose's lovely cheeks and alluring curves.
Young boys, after all. It wasn't impossible.
Hoshinomiya really wanted to tell the people of Class B outright: Remember what he said! Write it down—it's important, and it'll be on the test!
However, the school regulations forbade homeroom teachers from interfering too much in class affairs, especially during "Disciplinary Inspection Month."
Thus, Hoshinomiya didn't dare make her intentions too obvious. She could only remind them, intentionally or otherwise: "Bai was kind enough to warn us, after all. So that we don't let his good intentions go to waste, everyone should pay a little attention too~ Otherwise, Bai might feel hurt."
Beneath Hoshinomiya's honeyed, gentle words lurked a powerful weapon: moral blackmail.
After learning that "Bai would feel hurt," Ichinose also subconsciously began persuading her classmates to take the things Bai Lan had said a little more seriously.
Basically, she told them not to let their guard down, to obey the school rules, show what they could do, and fulfill their duties as good students.
That was about it.
11. Ryuen: There's definitely a trap here!
Finally, Bai Lan arrived at Class C.
At that moment, Class C hadn't even chosen a representative.
When Bai Lan said he wanted to sell information, the people of Class C either ignored him or directly told him to "get lost."
Bai Lan had already committed the ones who told him to "get lost" to memory. They would definitely face consequences in the future... Ah, no, retaliation.
However, a boy with red hair parted down the middle soon charged out, hooked an arm around his shoulders, and said they should find somewhere deserted to discuss the price.
Soon, they arrived at the men's restroom.
After bringing Bai Lan inside, the red-haired boy immediately blocked the entrance.
"Kid, tell me the information you know. If you try to fool me, watch out for your bones!"
So he wanted to avoid paying and simply "beat" the information out of him.
First, beat him up, then make him say whatever they wanted to "hear." If he refused, they would keep beating him until they heard it.
Actually, Bai Lan had anticipated this sort of situation long ago.
But he had still come because he hadn't sensed any threat from the other party.
Probably... just some small-time thug?
He wanted to use force?
That suited Bai Lan perfectly.
Bai Lan had always wanted to find someone to get into a fight with so he could violate the rules and accumulate demerits.
But he hadn't wanted to attack an innocent person.
That was how the "Chaos Strike" plan had come about.
As it turned out, before "Chaos Strike" had even been completed, someone had already walked straight into his line of fire.
How wonderful!
The red-haired boy had just been about to shove Bai Lan a few times to demonstrate his strength and intimidate him.
However, Bai Lan activated his Overlord Body and beat the other party instead.
Bai Lan first kicked him out of the restroom.
After all, there were no surveillance cameras inside the restroom.
Even if he beat someone up, the school wouldn't know.
There happened to be a surveillance camera outside the restroom, though.
Bai Lan went up and gave the red-haired boy a thorough beating. As he did so, he also "educated" him on the "rules of the martial world" he had learned from movies:
"Don't fight back. Even if you do, you can't beat me. You might as well take your beating obediently. Once you admit defeat, lie down and pretend to be dead. Give up resisting, and according to the rules of the martial world, I won't keep pursuing you."
The red-haired boy was very obedient and never fought back.
More precisely, the red-haired boy had tried to fight back, but he simply couldn't land a hit.
What Bai Lan was most proud of was his reaction speed.
The red-haired boy couldn't touch him at all.
He was utterly powerless to fight back.
