All Right, Everyone Can Laugh Now!

He didn't even look at a single page for two whole days.

I was determined to read all the books and get top marks in the exam.

May all those who mocked me enjoy good fortune.

So, two days ago at dusk, he had just finished running forty kilometers when he came back to read.

But Luo Chen immediately said:

"After school, hand in all your books."

Mephisto watched helplessly as Luo Chen took away his textbooks.

He didn't understand why a school principal would stop students from studying.

However, this difficulty did not deter him.

Because of Faust's help, his classmates agreed to help him with his studies.

However, this was only the beginning of the suffering.

That evening, Mephisto returned to his dormitory and went to study with his classmates, recalling the contents of his textbooks.

However, Luo Chen suddenly organized a bonfire party.

They pulled everyone to an open space to dance.

Mephisto was aching all over and weak in his limbs, but he was forced to jump for two hours straight.

I fainted as soon as I got back to the dorm.

He vowed never to dance again in his life.

The next day.

Mephisto unsurprisingly came in last place on the morning exam.

He led the whole class on another 40-kilometer training run.

Because of yesterday's intense exercise, this 40-kilometer run was incredibly difficult.

By the time they finished running, it was already noon.

Just as Luo Chen finished eating and was about to study, he was given a crash test.

Unsurprisingly, Mephisto once again came in last place.

This time, Luo Chen was more conscientious and only punished him by making him go out for extra training.

The others stayed behind to study on their own.

Night.

Mephisto had just climbed back to his dorm and hadn't even had a chance to ask his classmates what he'd learned that day.

Luo Chen then went so far as to organize a cooking competition.

He took all the students to practice killing fish, insects, and birds.

After that night, Mephisto felt nauseous at the smell of blood.

He vowed never to do any work involving killing animals again.

Day three.

It was another day of physical training for Mephisto.

That evening, Luo Chen did not arrange any more extraordinary activities.

But after two tiring days, he slept until this morning as soon as he got back to his dorm.

And now it's this morning's exam.

Only now did Mephisto realize how important the textbooks he had casually tossed aside were.

One wrong step leads to another.

If things continue like this, by the time everyone else has graduated, I'll be nothing special except for being good at running.

This is absolutely terrifying.

After the exam.

It's time to announce the results again.

Luo Chen smiled as he surveyed the students below.

"We tested your vocabulary and reading comprehension this morning, and your results were terrible."

"I just don't understand, isn't it just the second half of the textbook that we haven't studied yet?"

"So you're saying you're not going to study the second half of the material just because I didn't tell you to study for two days?"

"..."

The atmosphere in the open space instantly became tense after Luo Chen's criticism.

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look directly into Luo Chen's eyes, which seemed to see through everything.

After a moment of silence, Luo Chen continued:

However, no one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes.

"Mistakes are inevitable; the important thing is whether we can learn from them and correct them. Speaking of which, I want to give special praise to one student."

His words suddenly became impassioned, and his voice rose several decibels:

"During this self-study period, one student performed exceptionally well. He not only completed the assigned study material but also independently studied the latter part of the material and mastered it very well!"

He won first place.

Luo Chen's gaze swept across the classroom, finally settling on Mephisto, a playful smile appearing on his face:

"Mephisto, what kind of reward do you think should be given to the first place winner?"

Mephisto trembled instantly upon being called out by Luo Chen.

Based on his experience over the past few days, he knew that whenever Luo Chen mentioned his name, nothing good would come of it.

It's not about subjecting him to torture or punishment.

It was a deliberate prank, to make him shoot himself in the foot.

Normally, after announcing the first place winner, Luo Chen would call out his name.

It's very likely that he will be number one.

However, Mephisto knew his limits; he always came in last place, so there was no way he could take first place.

In other words, Luo Chen wanted to use him as a pretext to increase the benefits for the first-place winner.

If someone thinks they've gotten first place and then tries to get all the benefits for the top scorer, then Luo Chen will just use those benefits to do favors for others.

Thinking of this, Mephisto glanced at FrostNova again.

FrostNova and FrostNova classmates have been sitting in the open space reading and studying for the past two days.

If anyone deserves first place, it's definitely FrostNova.

Luo Chen is trying to use himself to benefit FrostNova.

If I deliberately present the benefits of first place as a punishment, I can thwart Luo Chen's plan.

I can finally vent my anger.

Mephisto was thinking this in his heart.

But his fists clenched nervously.

Logically speaking, having found a way to harm Luo Chen, one should be happy.

But why do I feel fear and apprehension?

It's like saying that if you do something wrong, you'll definitely be severely punished?

Am I afraid of doing something wrong?

Wrong!

Doing bad things is wrong.

I'm not a bad person.

I just wanted to vent my anger.

But is there really any hope against Luo Chen?

Besides, FrostNova hasn't done anything to him. If he tries to do something bad, won't FrostNova be the one who suffers in the end?

"Mephisto, say something! I'm asking you what the first place winner should get."

Luo Chen's nonchalant yet Mephisto urging voice rang out again.

Time is running out for Mephisto.

Ultimately, fear triumphed over the greed for victory.

He gritted his teeth, opened his mouth, and gave what he considered to be the real reward:

"I think the first-place winner should be given the opportunity to continue learning."

"As the top student in the exam, you can take the textbooks home to study after school."

"For those who love learning, this is the real reward."

The other students looked on incredulously when they heard about the reward Mephisto mentioned.

What the hell?

Why give us textbooks when we don't even need food and rest?

What about Mephisto' exhortation to study?

Have some decency.

It doesn't matter if you come in last place, but you can't let the first place person get no benefit at all.

After hearing Mephisto's reply, Luo Chen's face showed a satisfied smile:

"Mephisto, are you sure this is the reward for first place?"

"I'm sure!"

Mephisto gave the same answer as he had given a few days ago.

This time, however, he had no expectation of winning the revenge; he simply recounted the events calmly.

It's as if you're talking about something perfectly normal.

"Alright, I'll announce the first place winner of this exam."

"First place, Mephisto!"

Chapter 197 I didn't teach them, so tell me whether they learned it or not.

"Mephisto is in first place with a score of 98. You have mastered the first-grade curriculum of Ursus Elementary School."

"This is your second-grade textbook, it's a reward for you."

Luo Chen was clearly prepared.

After reading Mephisto's grades, he pulled a second-year textbook from his pocket and looked at him with a smile.

"Is this really for me?"

Mephisto asked Luo Chen with a shocked expression.

After being tormented for three consecutive days, Mephisto had lost all hope of learning.

He felt he was likely trapped in a nightmare cycle of exam punishment, never able to escape it.

Unexpectedly, just when he was in complete despair, Luo Chen gave him hope again.
