Inside Li Shuangmu's tent, Li Shuangmu, Leng Huaping, Yin Kuang, Tang Rouyu, Tan Shengge, Beidao, Second-generation Queen Sakura, Zhuge Lian, and Wang Ning—a total of nine people—sat in silence. Every one of them played a pivotal role among Eastern Victory University's second-years, whether in terms of strength or influence. Yet now, they had all been stumped by the same problem.
How were they supposed to deal with those selfish, self-serving people? Well, perhaps that description was not quite appropriate. "Selfish and self-serving" was entirely derogatory here, but in practical terms, there was nothing inherently wrong with looking out for oneself. A more fitting description would be: "Those who disregarded Eastern Victory's victory or defeat, stayed out of the war between East and West, and sought to profit through speculation."

Yin Kuang felt that he did not know about the earlier classes, but ever since his own year, Eastern Victory University had done an abysmal job when it came to "unity and mutual aid" and "cherishing friendship."
