Chapter 195 Mizuki Private High School (Sixty-seven)
"So what should we do now? I feel like Yanqi is hiding some secret. Should we make a head-on breakthrough?"
Although Chaka's consolation did not play any substantial role, it at least eased the atmosphere a little.
The president's situation is unclear now. The only correct answer originally seemed to be put on a countdown. At least he had to find Yanqi's favorite thing and get out of here before he couldn't control himself.
Otherwise, with the president's skills, they would probably not be his match and would just die here.
Twelve asked impatiently, he had to do something to reduce the anxiety in his heart.
"Not yet."
"Not yet."
Nan Huan and Bei Xi spoke at the same time, denying the possibility of a frontal breakthrough.
Although Nan Huan was very worried about Bei Xi's condition, he knew very well that the sooner they got out, the better, so he could only focus his attention back on finding the strawberry milk.
"I suggest we split into two teams. One team should go to the campus to look for a vending machine. Yanqi's favorite strawberry milk might only be available there. Or maybe there is a canteen in this school. We can go check it out."
Nan Huan did not forget what the NPC said before, that in Shuimu Private High School, this unhealthy drink mixed with essence and saccharin was only available in vending machines. But the school has not become "private" after all, so Nan Huan is a little unsure where this strawberry milk came from.
"The other team will go around the campus and get some information from other students. Yanqi should have some information that we don't know yet. If you run into him, don't try to find out, so as not to arouse his suspicion and cause other chain reactions."
Nanhuan’s arrangements were very good, and neither Beixi nor President Barbie had any doubts about this plan.
After a while, they formed action teams according to different guilds, and Chaka naturally followed the team of Nanhuan and Beixi in order to avoid Beixi's sudden madness.
It's already lunch time and it's hard to see any students in the teaching building. Twelve suggested that they go to the cafeteria to see what's going on, maybe there will be some news.
"I have another question that I find strange."
On the way, Chaka thought for a while and asked another question, "What do you think is the relationship between me and Yanqi? In addition, she reacted strongly to me when we were at the rest area, but I looked at her carefully just now and she didn't have any special reaction to me. I still don't have any impression of her?"
After all, Chaka would not be dragged into this mission for no reason. In addition, Yanqi, who turned into a tentacle monster, only responded to Chaka's words. Nanhuan had also seen Chaka's illusion before, so he always felt that all these were connected.
But just as Chaka said, Nanhuan had observed carefully just now. Yanqi's reaction to her was greater than that to Chaka, which was indeed inconsistent with their speculation.
"Maybe some triggering conditions haven't been activated yet," Bei Xi added after pondering for a moment, "You haven't remembered what happened before, right? If this is really the Shuimu Private High School of the past, or Yanqi doesn't know you yet, or hasn't had any entanglement with you yet, then naturally there is no reaction. The system said that this is just a trace left by Yanqi in the past, and the Yanqi we see may not be the complete Yanqi. Anyway, it's too early to draw conclusions now."
Bei Xi didn't know whether it was out of selfishness or based on factual considerations, but he seemed to want to tie Chaka and Yanqi together, and he seemed to have already determined that there must be some relationship between the two.
Seeing that the topic was tilting towards a dangerous angle again, Twelve quickly interrupted the conversation and inserted a question, "President Chaka, do you have any special reactions in your body?"
Shi Erwen was very serious. She was good-looking and was liked by Nan Huan, so Cha Ka's expression towards her became a little better. However, he didn't understand why the other party suddenly asked this.
Twelve touched the back of his head a little embarrassedly, "Isn't this what you just said? Maybe it's because of our abilities that we can't feel the changes in each of us. I think you are much stronger than us. If it were you, you should be able to feel it, right?"
Nan Huan held Bei Xi's hand and gave him a thumbs up in his heart because of this question.
Look, what is the art of speaking?
Twelve did not say that she felt that among the people present, Chaka was the most capable except Beixi. She deliberately made people ignore the fact that Chaka was ranked second to Beixi and instead only mentioned the fact that he was the strongest among the rest.
Chaka obviously noticed the other party's words, but she didn't point it out. Instead, she smiled and took it seriously.
"If it was the kind of change your president described, I would definitely be able to feel it, but I certainly didn't feel any changes in my body, nor did I feel the desire to prey on you."
There is no need to answer this question so seriously.
Twelve curled her lips. It was not that she was too vigilant, but based on Chaka's previous point of view, if there was any change, Chaka would be the second one to take charge. One president was already too much to handle, and with another Chaka, she felt that they could prepare the coffin in advance and just call it a day.
"Hey, you all must have heard about it, right?"
Before they knew it, they had reached the cafeteria entrance. Compared with the luxurious western restaurant and high-end restaurant of Shuimu Private High School, Shuimu High School only had one cafeteria. The sign at the top had only one and a half characters left due to disrepair.
The further we walked in this direction, the more students we saw, all in groups of three or four, very energetic.
As they walked up the stairs, the voices of several girls behind them attracted their attention.
"It seems that our school is going to change the school director?"
I don’t know if it’s because the secret is no longer a secret, or if the girl has a loud voice, so what should have been a whisper sounded like a loud speaker.
"Of course I heard about it. And it doesn't seem to be changed, it has already been changed."
Another girl spoke about this very clearly, "Haven't you noticed that the atmosphere in school has become a little different recently? Our head teacher always has a sad face during class. Sometimes when he is distracted, he will just stare at us without saying anything. It's really creepy after a while."
She shuddered as she spoke, as if she had thought of the look from her head teacher.
"Isn't your homeroom teacher very nice to you? He often takes you out for dinner parties and other activities. Why is he staring at you like this?"
It seems that this head teacher is really famous, and female students immediately jumped out to speak up for him.
"No, you misunderstood."
Twelve of them slowed down their pace, deliberately letting the female students walk in front. When they saw the girl who had spoken earlier, they waved their hands quickly.
"Don't you know what changing the school director means? You must have heard some of the rumors before, right?"
The girl looked disdainful, as if she was a little worried about the information source of the remaining few people. "The new school director didn't join for nothing. He said he wanted to make our school a well-known private high school. He spent a lot of money to get it. I heard that the original teachers are no longer needed and they are all going to be fired? Our head teacher is so good to us, he must be reluctant to let him go, so he is always distracted during class. He can't tell us about this, so his emotions must be wrong?"
"Ah? All dismissed? Why do we always need teachers even if it becomes a private high school? Our teachers are all well-known and good teachers, why are they dismissed?"
When Nan Huan heard these words, he somehow thought of the faceless teachers in Shuimu Private High School who had no faces and only obeyed orders.
"Who knows? You know that once a school becomes private, the school board has the final say. What if they just want to replace everyone with new teachers?"
The other girl rolled her eyes and spread her hands, "Besides, don't worry about those teachers. Why don't you worry about us when you have time?"
"What happened to us? Will we be unable to go to school after it becomes a private school?"
There was a girl who didn't understand, so she raised her hand and asked weakly.
"A private high school means the annual tuition will increase several times. I heard that this school director came here for our experimental class. Do you know who are in the experimental class? Not to mention that they are rich and powerful, their academic performance is okay. When they pass the exams and become famous, this will be a reason to recruit students. By then, I am afraid that all the children of business and political celebrities will be sent here, and there will be no place for us."
"Although the current experimental class has nothing to do with us, we still get along well because of the school's various systems and the balance of teachers. There is no special tilt of resources. I heard that it was insisted by our previous school directors. When the teachers are driven away, who will take care of us? Even if the school does not explicitly drive us away, the tuition is more expensive than studying abroad. Can you stay here?"
High school students are not ignorant. On the contrary, they have begun to establish their own world view and values, so they have their own understanding and opinions on things.
They were originally chatting about gossip, but ended up talking about their own problems, so the girls all looked unhappy.
"Okay, okay, after all, this is just hearsay, and we can't be sure about it. Let's not scare ourselves for now..."
After chatting about these things, the girls ran to the window for eating.
However, as soon as Nan Huan and her friends entered the cafeteria, they received a lot of attention.
Although it is called a cafeteria, it is actually not very big and is now almost full. Everyone's eyes lingered briefly when they entered, and then quickly looked away.
If the classmates had shown curiosity and welcome when entering the classroom in the morning, now everyone's eyes were a bit unwelcome and obviously disgusted.
"It's only been this morning, why do I feel like they don't welcome us?"
Twelve originally put on a smiling face and wanted to show her friendliness, but unexpectedly, those boys and girls did not give her this opportunity at all.
"It's obvious that they have some facts that we don't know about," Bei Xi remained calm, "or maybe what those female students said just now was not a rumor, but a fact, and the chain reaction brought about by this fact is not just the ones they said."
Standing here all the time is not a solution. If I go straight up to ask for information in this situation, I'm afraid I'll be beaten back. Bei Xi thought for a moment and added, "You two go buy something and pretend to have a meal."
After saying this, she took Nan Huan's hand, brought the tea card, found a seat for six in the corner, and walked over.
When Bei Xi felt the gazes of other students, she raised her head and looked back at them. She did not deliberately pretend to have any expression, but the seriousness on her face still persuaded many students who were staring at her to stop looking up.
As soon as she sat down, Bei Xi's keen hearing enabled her to hear classmates chatting at a table not far away. The topic was apparently about the group of exchange students who had just arrived.
"Hey? Did you see those? They are the exchange students who just arrived this morning?"
The voice was not crisp, but a low male voice. "Look at the three people sitting down. They let others get their food instead of doing it themselves. I heard that real private high schools are full of small groups. I think they are the same. Look, they are all like young ladies on the first day."
The real young lady was poked in the knee and opened her mouth. Chaka, who was accidentally injured, looked seriously at the young lady and the president, thinking that they caused unnecessary misunderstandings because of their looks. After all, they didn't really want to eat.
However, she felt that as a young lady, she was born to be surrounded by thousands of people and be carefully cared for, so getting a meal was nothing.
What a bunch of bumpkins, I'm afraid I've never seen them before. If it wasn't for the purpose of gathering information, I'm afraid the president wouldn't even want to touch the young lady.
If it were me, I wouldn't want to let the young lady suffer.
Twelve has already put the things he bought on the table. After all, this is the cafeteria, and if he just listens without watching, he will be regarded as an even stranger person.
Twelve and Six Gods didn't care much and just picked two to eat.
Beixi and Chaka didn't have much appetite, but Beixi still picked and chose, and chose a stomach-nourishing porridge. Finally, she bought tableware from the control panel and let Nanhuan taste a few bites.
"It's true that these exchange students are all pretty good-looking."
At the same table as before, a male classmate expressed his sincere emotion, but it was just a pure admiring look from an adolescent boy, and his words were not obscene.
"Just watch them, don't provoke them," a boy advised with a wry smile, "They say they are exchange students, but in fact they will be students of this school in the future. No matter what happens, they will definitely not leave, but we are not sure."
"So those rumors before were true?"
The other boy had food in his mouth and spoke a little slurred.
"Of course it's true. There's no way such a rumor would come out of nowhere. Besides, no one dares to spread it for no reason. But I don't understand. Their original school is a private high school. Why did they come to our school? This is not a good place for feng shui. If they want to change, won't they have to overturn everything and start over? Isn't this just a waste of time?"
"Hey, you don't understand the world of the rich. They said they wanted to form a strong alliance, so they must have bought out all the students in our school's experimental class, so this happened..."
When Nan Huan was about to touch the spoon for the seventh time, Bei Xi held it down, and the talking at the next table also stopped.
I don’t know if everyone thought of their own situation at the same time, or if this fact is still a bit heavy for boys of this age.
Only Beixi and Chaka were at the table and could hear the sound from so far away.
Nan Huan obediently put down the spoon and listened to her telling Chaka.
After lunch, the students swarmed out of the cafeteria at the same time, leaving only a few people.
"I don't quite understand. If that's the case, what does the new school director want?"
Twelve raised his hand and asked weakly, "Why doesn't he think of another way, and recruit the students in the experimental class into a private high school? Why does he want to harm this school?"
"I don't think it's simply because of the students in the experimental class. There may be other reasons. Don't forget that this is in Shuimu City. Think about the current situation of Shuimu Private High School in our copy. After it became a private high school, it's not just that some students can't go to school. The school probably has more monsters than regular students."
Bei Xi tapped the table with her fingers twice, knocking away the anger in Twelve's heart and bringing her back to her sanity.
What the students said might be true, but it was just their own opinion based on various information, not necessarily the real reason. However, because they had an additional reference point, they understood that this change was not that simple.
Thinking about those students who are trapped in different places by all kinds of monsters, this is not just an incident of competing for students.
"What I'm more concerned about is why do you send exchange students like us here first?"
Nan Huan held his chin in his hand, not really understanding the logic behind this. "Why did we come so early? Since we have this privilege, why don't we wait until the school is ready before coming? If we come now and still get looked down upon, it really isn't a good deal, is it?"
Since the school reform is a foregone conclusion and not all teachers and students can stay, what is the point of their exchange?
Although they have received the news, they are currently unable to connect the information into a complete logic.
"As for Yanqi's attitude towards us, she should have known in advance that the school was going to reform, but she didn't show such resistance like other students. This doesn't make sense."
Chaka added another strange point, "And judging from how she told us to be careful, I suspect she knows a lot about it. But how should I put it? I always feel like she's happy to see this. Is that normal?"
"Of course it's not normal. I think she told us to be careful not because she was afraid that we would get hurt, but because she was afraid that we would do something."
Liushen kept frowning and didn't say anything, but after Chaka finished speaking, she added a sentence.
"Let's meet with President Barbie first and see where they are..."
This problem cannot be solved yet. What's even more strange is that they didn't see Yanqi in the cafeteria at all. Just when Bei Xi decided to meet with President Barbie first, Uriel's anxious voice was heard in their emergency contact channel.
"President, Miss, something bad has happened to our president."
