"It's you few again. Do you know what this kind of behavior is called?" The female teacher was furious.
The classroom was under a heavy, suffocating pressure, dead silent.
She continued, in a bad mood, "Scum, the pests of society!"
The student standing at the lead silently clenched his fists, his head lowered so that no one could see his expression at that moment.
"You can bring yourselves to turn on your own classmates. I really underestimated you. Don't think I don't know how Linmu got injured, you ungrateful, heartless trash!"
Hearing the teacher mention him, Linmu hurriedly and nervously glanced at the few boys standing up, whispering a defense to the fired-up teacher.
"It's not like that, teacher, it wasn't them-"
"Student Linmu, don't be afraid. Today I want to see what kind of waves they can possibly stir up with me here!"
The female teacher said firmly.
Then, with an impatient look on her face, she waved a hand. "All of you, get down there and run five laps around the playground! I'm going to properly discipline you lot for the sake of society right now!"
The classmates dared not harbor any complaints.
They successively stood up in groups of three or five and walked toward the playground.
On the way, Yin Chao heard someone complaining in a low voice.
"I'm so speechless about that Linmu. A guy acting all green-tea like that."
"Exactly, exactly. Has he given fewer reports on us in the past?"
"Besides, Gao Chao and the others never even touched him, yet they got framed like that by him."
It was three girls talking.
Yin Chao rolled his eyes and, in the end, still pulled rank on his identity as a "girl" to forcefully wedge himself into the conversation.
"You're saying Linmu's injuries weren't caused by Gao Chao?"
He asked.
The girls were somewhat surprised by his joining, but their urge to share was simply too robust, so they accepted him anyway.
A girl with a high ponytail looked around before whispering to him.
"Right. On the day it happened, I was on duty. I was responsible for turning off the lights after evening self-study ended, and I heard Gao Chao and the others say with my own ears that they were going to climb over the wall to go to an internet cafe."
"That still doesn't prove-" Before Yin Chao could finish, he was interrupted by the girl.
"Oh, my stomach happened to hurt that day, so I asked Linmu to help me turn off the lights. I walked downstairs together with Gao Chao and the others and watched them climb over and out."
Yin Chao understood.
Stomachache and you could still help Gao Chao keep watch?
You really had a disabled body with a persevering soul.
It was nothing more than casually finding an excuse to make Linmu do chores for her.
While he made sarcastic remarks in his heart, he thought the girl didn't look like she was lying.
"Then who beat Linmu up?"
The girls all shook their heads, and the high-ponytailed girl even cursed that ghost knew who.
Just as she finished speaking, they arrived at the playground.
The whole class lined up in rows to prepare for running laps.
Even though Yin Chao was a girl in the NPCs' eyes, he still consciously walked to the very last row.
Right before the run, someone patted his shoulder.
Yin Chao turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with proper features and gold-rimmed glasses.
"Hello, you should be one of the players too, right?"
Yin Chao nodded.
The other party introduced himself, "My name is Moqi Xinzhi."
Moqi? Yin Chao remembered Bai Xu telling him when introducing the four major guilds that he needed to watch out for people from the Wanqi Guild.
He said they were a bunch of lunatics.
"My name is Yin Chao."
He greeted him with a smile, while actually staring at him all the while, trying to pry into his status panel.
[Ding, player Moqi Xinzhi, title: Magician, level 20 HP 1000, stamina 1000, mental power 90, intelligence 95 Proficient skills: Disguise and Deception, Psychological Trickster, makes people want to believe all decisions made by the Magician.]
This was the first time Yin Chao had seen a panel with 95 intelligence.
And his proficient skills-they were simply sharp weapons prepared specifically for this game.
"What, have we met before, Mr. Yin Chao?"
Moqi Xinzhi asked doubtfully.
It took a long time of staring at a person for Yin Chao to pry into their panel, and he knew his own action had drawn Moqi Xinzhi's attention.
"No, no, Mr. Moqi is just too handsome, I couldn't help it."
Well, now the doubt was dispelled, but the look Moqi Xinzhi gave him held a bit more of an indescribable sentiment.
"..."
When the teacher arrived in position, the line finally started jogging.
By the second lap, Yin Chao's 60 stamina could no longer hold out.
He panted heavily and lagged behind the pack.
The female teacher shouted loudly from the stands to run faster.
Yet he could only treat it as wind passing his ears.
At that moment, someone deliberately dropped back from the front to run shoulder-to-shoulder with him.
Yin Chao raised his head and found it was Midnight, wearing a gloating expression.
He narrowed his eyes in utter incomprehension, yet he was too exhausted to say a single complete sentence.
He only heard the newcomer say breezily, "Now you know why the system judged you as a girl, right?"
Yin Chao didn't want to know.
Midnight completely disregarded his emotions and cruelly stated, "Stamina value is too low, worse than a girl."
With that, he slowly accelerated back to his original spot.
Yin Chao was practically fuming with laughter.
He took back what he said in the restroom just now; what kind of coyote was this, he was clearly a smug Husky.
After finishing the laps with half his life practically gone, today's day of classes was more or less over.
Yin Chao actually quite liked senior year high school life.
Everyone was so busy; no one would care about anyone else.
Even if he was all by himself, it wouldn't look out of place.
Yet the high school inside the instance was clearly different from what he had imagined, or perhaps this was just a bit different from the key high school he himself had attended.
After evening self-study started, there were no teachers in the classroom.
The class was terribly noisy.
Chatting, forming groups to play games, sitting together to date...
There was everything.
Moqi Xinzhi also brought a few people over to sit by Yin Chao.
"These are the players I found in this class."
Moqi Xinzhi introduced them to one another one by one.
As usual, Yin Chao didn't remember most of them, but they had distinct characteristics, so he quietly gave them nicknames in his mind.
Straight-haired quiet girl, shifty-eyed skinny monkey, square-faced uncle.
"We've temporarily formed an alliance and checked each other's cards. Everyone is on the good person faction."
Moqi Xinzhi said to him.
Hearing this, Yin Chao frowned. "You came to tell me all this-you don't want to see my cards too, do you?"
Moqi Xinzhi didn't speak, but the shifty-eyed skinny monkey spoke up first.
"What does it matter if we're all good people? Only wolves are afraid of other people seeing their cards, right?"
Yin Chao chuckled inwardly without speaking.
He retorted, "Who knows if what you're saying is true or false? What if you four wolves are trying to pump me for information?"
A single sentence offended four people.
The quiet girl said nothing, while the square-faced uncle and the skinny monkey wanted to argue a bit with Yin Chao.
Yet they were stopped by Moqi Xinzhi.
"What you said makes sense. However, if you're a good person, I would still very much hope you can gain our trust."
"Then you guys earn my trust first," he said.
Seeing that Yin Chao was impervious to reason, the group stopped talking to him and all changed their seats.
Coincidentally, Zhao Guojun came swaying over with his waist twisting at that moment.
Yin Chao smiled, "Yo! Guojun, aren't you used to wearing high heels?"
Zhao Guojun wore a fierce expression, stepping forward in two or three strides wanting to strangle Yin Chao to death.
Halfway there, he was blocked by Midnight.
Zhao Guojun saw clearly who had stopped him, and the next second, he went limp and collapsed into Midnight's arms.
"So painful~ Need big bro's kiss to get back up~"
Scaring Midnight into violently flinging the person far away.
