Ahri heard someone breathe a sigh of relief, while other classmates who weren't gamers looked on with expressions of anticipation.
The students who are gamers all have a string around their wrists; the girls wear red strings and the boys wear blue ones.
Teacher Hippo's eyes were greedily fixed on Ahri and the other game players.
Soon, someone was chosen by Teacher Hippo.
It was a boy with a lot of hair, tall and thin. He calmly walked to the front, picked up the chalk and wrote the stroke order of the character 'awkward'.
When the boy picked up the chalk and wrote his first stroke, the teacher was so happy that his eyes narrowed into slits.
Because that person wrote the radical of the character '尴尬' as '九' instead of '尤'.
But he still didn't notice, and instead continued writing.
Soon, when the person put down the chalk, Teacher Hippo suddenly became excited.
"Look, the stroke order this student wrote is truly a pleasant surprise for the teacher."
Before the boy could react, Teacher Hippo suddenly opened her mouth and bit down on him.
The boy was instantly cut in half, without even a scream.
The hippo teacher was so excited that his clothes burst. With his back to the class, he ate the boy.
For a moment, the only sound in the classroom was the sound of Teacher Hippo chewing, biting, and gnawing.
Ahri was as if she were imprisoned, unable to scream or escape.
After Mr. Hippo finished eating, he suddenly turned around.
There were still a few fingers stuck to the corner of his mouth, and he kept chewing. He looked around the classroom and said in a rough voice, "Next, which student would like to come up?"
Just then, the bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.
The feeling of confinement from before was gone, and Teacher Hippo said with a regretful look, "get out of class is over. Well then, I look forward to seeing you next time."
Teacher Hippo dragged away the remaining two legs, but his gaze was fixed on the gamers in the classroom, a cruel smile on his lips.
Someone got eaten in both of these classes; who knows what will happen next time.
There were rules in class before, and as long as you didn't break the rules, you were safe.
This time, Teacher Hippo has already started selecting students for the class.
Ahri didn't stay in her seat this time; she went to the restroom.
Stepping out of the classroom, the outside world is just like any other school.
There were teachers and students walking around, and nothing else seemed strange.
As Ahri came out of the restroom, she heard someone whispering, "Was the boy that the school beauty likes kidnapped?"
"Those bloody footprints disappeared at the lakeside. Did they fall into the lake?"
Ahri looked at the people talking; all of them had ropes tied around their wrists.
Those people spotted Ahri, and they also looked at the red string on Ahri's wrist. They exchanged glances, said nothing more, and left on their own.
Some people come to this game world in a team, while others come alone without knowing anything about it.
The original owner came alone, without understanding anything.
So, it died very quickly.
Ahri didn't intend to team up with anyone; she went to the lake that those people had mentioned earlier.
The lake is full of lotus flowers, and the water is very green.
Ahri crouched down and looked into the lake.
Besides Ahri's reflection, the only other thing in the lake was the white clouds in the sky.
No, it's not in here.
If someone gets too close to a lake where someone has died, visible black mist will appear, and the mist will float up from the lake.
When Ahri stood up and turned around, she found that the group of people from before were standing behind her.
Seeing that Ahri was alright and could even stand up on her own, those people didn't say anything and went back.
Because it's time for class.
Ahri slowly followed behind those people, who were three men and four women.
When Ahri returned to her seat, she discovered that the seat next to her was dripping blood again.
A boy was holding the notebook that Ahri had found earlier and was flipping through it.
Ahri didn't speak; there wasn't much written in the notebook.
When the school bell rang, Teacher Hippo came in with the test papers in his hand.
Teacher Hippo said in a good mood, "We'll give you some basic questions in this lesson, and those who finish can leave early."
Just like before, there were bloody footprints on the seat next to Ahri.
The bloody footprints lingered in the classroom for a long time before slowly starting to move.
Ali sat in the first seat. After Teacher Hippo counted the papers, he handed them to Ali.
Ahri wasn't scared. She calmly took the papers, kept one for herself, and passed the others to the back.
Teacher Hippo opened her thermos and said, "We'll collect the papers in 60 minutes. Of course, if anyone wants to hand in their paper early, that's fine too. However, I'll grade them in advance, and if you fail or don't do well, there will be a penalty."
Ahri looked at the questions on the test paper, and they were all questions she knew how to answer.
Ahri picked up her pen and started working on the questions; she did them very quickly.
Not long after, Ahri raised her hand and said, "Teacher, I'm done."
Teacher Hippo walked over to Ali with a red pen in his hand, and said excitedly, "Did you understand what I just said? If you fail or do poorly, there will be a punishment."
"Is there a reward for passing or getting a perfect score?"
