Originally thought I could bluff my way through, but was discovered by the math teacher and am now standing at the back of the classroom.
Xu Zhou’s answers on the test were correct, and he confidently went up, but he’s naturally a poor student, having long forgotten the questions completely, not even recognizing the symbols.
The math teacher looked displeased: "Stand outside. Even if you hand in a blank paper, it’s better than cheating! I absolutely don’t tolerate cheating here!"
Xu Zhou sighed, took his test paper, and went outside the classroom.
Well, at least he wouldn’t be on edge this class.
Later, Ah Chen also got called on, but she had already looked through the test; these couldn’t stump her.
"Not bad," the math teacher was quite satisfied, "also explained three thods to solve the problem," he looked at the class, "you all should learn from Li Chen."
After finishing the test review, there were a few minutes left, the math teacher let them review on their own, and anyone still having trouble could ask him on the podium.
The adventurers who hadn’t finished their English howork started borrowing classmates’ work to copy, briefly reliving their student days.
Bai Qiaoqian was also copying when she suddenly felt sothing was wrong. Instinctively looking up, she saw the math teacher standing beside her, giving her a fright.
"Doing English howork in my math class?" The math teacher had a grim face, and he quickly grabbed Bai Qiaoqian’s notebook.
It was only then that Bai Qiaoqian noticed the other was holding several notebooks, were they from the other adventurers?
She secretly glanced around and indeed saw many adventurers standing up.
Ga over!
Ding ding ding!
The class bell rang.
"All of you, co with to the office." The math teacher threw out this sentence, not bothering to check if anyone followed, and left the classroom.
"What happens if we don’t go?" Once the math teacher left, everyone started discussing.
"Seven were identified," said one adventurer, "and we have eight monsters here, so unless there are more than sixteen of us, we won’t get marked. It feels like going to the office might get us marked."
"Then we don’t go?"
"I’m not going. Back in school, not listening to the teacher earned you a spot standing outside at most. There shouldn’t be any issue not going."
"Then I won’t go either."
Out of the seven, three decided not to go, and after so thought, the other four decided to go.
Bai Qiaoqian planned to go, and if she got marked, so be it. They could hardly stay more than sixteen people at all tis. Plus, she wasn’t afraid; she had sothing in hand that could save her if it really ca down to it.
As Bai Qiaoqian and the other four went to the office, Zhang Fangfang returned with a sheet of paper, reciting three nas: "Chen Yong, Li Yueyue, Wu Feng, the math teacher said that if you don’t want to go to the office or learn, just go ho."
"The math teacher has already inford your parents, so pack your bags; they’ll co to pick you up shortly."
The three hadn’t quite processed it when three couples walked by the door, sending a chill down their spines.
Chen Yong shouted, "I’ll go to the office right away, right now."
The three couples outside didn’t reveal which were their actual parents, but their deanor was eerie, eyes filled with greed and desire, looking at him like monsters ready to devour him, truly terrifying.
"I’ll go to the office right now too, just wasn’t feeling well." Li Yueyue said.
But the three couples had already stepped inside, followed by the math teacher.
He said, "I think it would be better for you to go ho and reflect, then decide if you want to continue studying. You can be bad at academics, but lacking even the basic attitude as students is unacceptable; I can’t let you disrupt other classmates. Here, students need a good learning environnt. If anyone else doesn’t want to learn or listen to the teacher, I’ll call your parents right away."
Everyone dared not make a sound; they received the ssage that students must listen to the teacher and study hard; disobedience and not studying were against the rules and would get one expelled.
Those three couples looked anything but good, more like monsters waiting for a al. The three students being taken away surely couldn’t co back. As for whether they can still survive, it depended on the tools and currency they had.
"I will study hard."
As the three were escorted out by their respective parents, they were still shouting.
Seeing it was no use struggling, their cries gradually diminished, eyes filled with resignation. Had they known not listening would bring in their parents, they would have behaved. Being eliminated right off the bat, even with so life-saving items, felt like an utter waste.
Besides, Resurrection Cards were getting more expensive; typically, no one wants to waste them.
Then, Li Yueyue returned.
The horoom teacher brought Li Yueyue back, smiling, and announced to the class, "This is a new transfer student."
Once the horoom teacher left, Li Yueyue said, "I used an Interdiate Substitute Card, but it can only be used once per world. I haven’t bought a Resurrection Card yet, so using a Substitute Card is more economical."
A Substitute Card is 500, which looks 400 more than buying a Resurrection Card for the first ti, but the Substitute Card price doesn’t increase; the Resurrection Card does. Unless absolutely necessary, she didn’t want to waste a Resurrection Card.
"They must lack the currency to buy a Substitute Card," she added, feeling sorry for them.
"It seems easily triggered rules are study-related, and as students, we must be careful moving forward. We can’t anger the teacher, lest we get called to bring in our parents."
All the adventurers nodded in agreent, true enough.
Things remained calm after that; the adventurers adhered to student duties; even if they couldn’t grasp the material, the most a teacher would do was critique, ask them to stand, or call them to the office. As long as their attitude was good, they wouldn’t be summoned to bring in their parents, which was finally a relief.
When lunchti ca, Bai Qiaoqian, Ma Qin, and Ah Chen instinctively walked together.
"Let’s go to the bathroom together later, shall we?" Bai Qiaoqian suggested, "At least we know each other, so we can be sure no one’s a monster."
Ah Chen agreed, "Sure."
Ma Qin had no objections. It was the safest option.
"This is so hard to eat." Bai Qiaoqian took a bite of lamb chops and rolled her eyes, but fearing breaking the rules, forced herself to swallow.
The last ga was Food Village, where everything was delicious, so she hadn’t paid attention, just loading up on what she liked. The previous ga’s talk of weight loss was just an excuse.
Ah Chen said, "School food being bad is quite normal, isn’t it?"
As Ma Qin and Bai Qiaoqian chewed on unpleasant food, they regretted not being more vigilant, seeing Ah Chen’s tray with a small amount of food.
"But there are so tasty ones," Ah Chen added, "if you want good food, watch out for the NPCs lining up. The stalls they swarm are definitely delicious."
Following Ah Chen’s gaze, they indeed saw certain stalls with long lines and hastily took note, determined to be quick next ti.
