26 Menggui High School (26)

She's dead. I killed her.

"Teacher Qin!" A student caught sight of him approaching and his voice became excited.

The other students also turned around, their eyes shining as they looked at Qin Fu'an against the backdrop of the corpses and pieces of flesh scattered on the ground.

"Teacher Qin." The student leading the group stepped aside to make room for Qin Fu'an and pointed to the group of frightened students below, saying, "These are the students who ran over after seeing the note. Should we let them up?"

What it was really worried about wasn't whether the students were in danger, but rather... with so many students, would Teacher Qin's honey water be drunk up to the point of bankruptcy? What if it was all gone and there wasn't enough left for them?

Everyone is driven by self-interest, and so is deceit.

Qin Fu'an was fully aware of the students' thoughts. He patted the student on the shoulder, walked past him to the stairwell, and looked down.

Below, a group of students are struggling to resist the monster's pursuit; those in front are fighting hard, while those behind are trying to climb up for shelter.

"Let them come up," Qin Fu'an said to his students, turning his head slightly. "If we don't let them up now, and they all turn into monsters, are you sure you'll still be alive until the next day?"

If you can't survive, why would you even think about drinking honey water and eating snacks?

Several students were awakened by his casual remark, finally realizing that the group of classmates below could be either their lifeline or their death warrant.

So, without Qin Fu'an needing to persuade or explain further, they quickly cleared their defensive line, allowing the students below to come up while trying their best to persuade them to find suitable weapons to fight off the monster teaching aids together.

The situation on Xie Yunhuai's side was roughly the same as what Qin Fu'an had seen, but after the students were allowed to come up, the other side obediently made way.

With these surviving students, Qin Fu'an had even more options to make.

He divided the children into three groups based on their current test scores: those who scored 100, those who scored 80, and those who just passed with 60.

Those who score 100 points take the best weapons and stand at the forefront, those who score 80 points follow behind to fill in any gaps, and those who score 60 points search for more weapons within a safe range, as well as make a batch of simple but usable defensive tools using school uniforms, books, or paper.

Almost every surviving student was able to learn what they needed to do from Qin Fu'an, so what was supposed to be a battle royale-style physical exam was transformed by Qin Fu'an into a game of offense and defense.

With only 10 minutes left on the countdown, almost half of the students in the entire school had gathered in the teaching building, including the four players.

Although they were players, under Qin Fu'an's arrangement, they were given the same tasks as every student who was struggling to survive. They were so busy that they didn't even have time to guess where Nan Zhu was hiding or whether she was in danger.

With only 3 minutes left on the countdown, the swarming sports equipment finally dwindled, and it took half a minute to spot one or two wandering in the distance.

The teaching building is safe for now.

After the monsters' attack was completely abandoned, the crisp ringing of the bell signaling the end of get out of class sounded like a heavenly melody to the students.

As the cheerful school bell rang, the countdown reached 0:0:59 on the dark, blood-red night sky.

The last minute.

Qin Fu'an breathed a sigh of relief. He met the expectant and joyful gazes of a large group of children. Before he could say anything, the children started calling out "Teacher Qin" all at once.

They seem to only know how to call out "Teacher Qin" with joy, liveliness, gratitude, and reverence...

They seem to be two completely different sides of themselves, one inside and one outside, compared to their numb and crazy daytime behavior.

Even the tentacles that had been fiercely accompanying Xie Yunhuai's attack all night above their heads took advantage of the chaos to blend into the student group and secretly tugged at Qin Fu'an's clothes, unwilling to let go.

"Congratulations everyone, the physical exam has successfully concluded." After Qin Fu'an finished speaking, under Xie Yunhuai's equally bright eyes, he reached out and picked up a tentacle wrapped around his wrist, looking at the other party meaningfully.

Xie Yunhuai: "..."

Damn it, how can I stop my soul from being so lively and clingy?!

In the corner, Bai Song nudged Yak, who was leaning against the wall in a daze, with his elbow and whispered, "Look, the big boss is exchanging glances with his deskmate again."

Ark: "..."

After this game ends, I'm going to go back and study the 100 special techniques for getting carried to a top player. Sooner or later, I'll meet my own master!

Tears of envy finally welled up in his eyes, a result he couldn't help but shed.

Chen Qi and Zhao Jiayue: "..."

Two drama queens.

But when they looked up and saw the blood-red countdown that was already down to the last ten seconds, they couldn't help but smile with relief.

This long and dangerous day is finally... coming to an end.

At one point, all the surviving students looked up at the final countdown in the night sky in unison.

They watched it go from 10 seconds, second by second, to the last few seconds.

3, 2, 1 —

"This physical education exam is over." A familiar and gentle voice rang out in the school: "Congratulations to all the students who have passed. I hope you will continue to work hard in the coming days and participate seriously in every exam."

"Rest time is 9:30 pm. Please go to bed on time to maintain good sleep and physical health so that you can be in good condition for the next day's study and exams."

After the proctor's voice fell silent, the entire school became eerily quiet; even breathing was barely audible.

Until the surviving students watched helplessly as the blood-red high heels that had stopped in the corridor of Class 4, Grade 12, abruptly made crisp footsteps, gradually receding into the distance until they disappeared completely...

Starting from the fourth floor, within just two seconds, excited shouts and screams of revelry echoed throughout the entire Menggui High School.

"...The floor is about to collapse." Chen Qi felt the tremors beneath his feet, complaining while letting out a long sigh of relief.

It's finally over.

Amidst the lively clamor, Qin Fu'an heard another notification.

"Congratulations! As an invigilator, you have performed exceptionally well and achieved outstanding results during this examination. Your abilities have been unanimously praised by the entire school's faculty and students. Therefore, after observation and discussion from all sides, the school leaders have decided to award you the permanent title of [Invigilator]."

"In addition, because you also serve as a substitute teacher for the senior three (4) class and have made outstanding contributions to the school's teaching staff, the school leaders have unanimously decided to appoint you as a formal teacher and enjoy the dual salary and benefits of a teacher and an invigilator."

"Please continue your efforts in the future to cultivate more outstanding graduates for Menggui University."

After the sound disappeared, the originally transparent invigilator light screen in front of Qin Fu'an turned into a light blue invigilator screen.

There are still many densely packed light spots on it, and the range is not limited to the senior class (4), but all the students who are still alive in the whole school should be on it.

However, they are all in an unviewable and unmovable state, presumably because the exam time has ended, so the invigilator cannot exercise his powers at this time.

Along with this, the [Invigilator] badge on his school uniform changed silently to an ominous blood red, and he could choose whether or not to hide it.

After a quick check, Qin Fu'an turned off the invigilator's light screen, which was not much different from the others, and quietly hid the name tag on his chest amidst the chaos.

Fortunately, he was standing in the corridor with his back to everyone, looking out, so no one (specifically the players) noticed the change in him.

After he finished doing all of this, he was notified that his double salary had been credited to his account.

His entire salary automatically goes into the official teacher's certificate in his pocket. When he needs to make a purchase within the school, he can simply swipe this certificate to complete the transaction.

Qin Fu'an checked the balance in his account. It wasn't much, but it was enough for him to fulfill his promise to the children about the snacks he had made that night.

Amidst the wild cheers of the survivors, Qin Fu'an took off his dirty school uniform jacket, bypassed the overly excited children, and walked alone towards the dormitory building.

After a whole day of running around, even he was starting to feel the strain.

There were no streetlights along the way, but fortunately, all the "sports teaching aids," whether alive or dead, were collected the moment the exam ended, so apart from the darkness, Qin Fu'an did not encounter any other dangers along the way.

But just before he was about to enter the dormitory building, he was blocked at the main entrance downstairs.

"Gentlemen, what can I do for you?" Qin Fu'an lifted his eyelids and lazily sized up the hesitant players in front of him in the dim light of the dormitory building.

Faced with his question, they seemed unsure how to broach the subject, hesitating and stammering without giving a clear answer.

It wasn't until Chen Qi noticed the hint of impatience in Qin Fu'an's eyes that her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately asked, "Boss, we came here to ask you if you have seen any trace of Nan Zhu?"

After asking, perhaps fearing Qin Fu'an might misunderstand, she quickly added, "We've been looking for her ever since the exam ended, but many classmates said they hadn't seen her. We were worried she might be in danger or trapped somewhere, so we..."

"She is dead."

Before she could finish her explanation, Qin Fu'an interrupted her with a calm reply.

Chen Qi's voice stopped abruptly, and the other three stared at him in astonishment.

Seeing this, Qin Fu'an raised the corners of his narrow eyes slightly and added with a mischievous chuckle:

"Unfortunately, I was the one who killed him."
