Should I pick up trash? I'll wait until school is over and there's not much people around. I'll just find a quiet spot to pick up trash. Whether I win the prize depends on my own luck. I've never been lucky, so I'll just accumulate more chances to enter the lottery.
Just as I was thinking, I heard the school bell ring. It was English class. Don't ask me how I knew there was a timetable on the blackboard. But the magical world is strange; there are only 12 people in a class. Zina's seat is by the window, the second from the front. It's a very good spot.

The bell rang, signaling the end of school. I dawdled and waited, then, seeing that there were hardly any people around, I quickly packed my things and left the classroom to check if I had any loot on the playground. As soon as I stepped out of the school building and stood on the cobblestone path, I silently checked in to the system.
[Check-in complete. Congratulations, host, you have been granted two chances to draw a prize. Shall we draw a prize now? A mechanical electronic voice sounds.]
No, there's no lottery. After signing in, I immediately headed to the playground. After walking for a while, I saw some students playing soccer on the playground, and there were some cans, snack wrappers, etc. on the ground and grass.
I could only pretend to be like someone who enjoys watching elementary school kids play soccer, sitting near the edge of the lawn where there was trash, slowly moving over to pick up the litter and put it into a trash bag. Seeing that the task progress was still short (12/15), and I was three minutes short of completing the last task, I had to move to another spot and put the trash bag in my backpack.
Just as I was about to leave, I saw a man and a woman walking towards me. I adjusted my glasses and recognized them as Zhang Qi and Ye Zhi—the school bullies from the original anime had arrived.
I ran, running, thinking how unlucky I was to run into two annoying guys. I used my backpack to block my way and ran past them. When I was about two-thirds of a meter away from them...
"Stop, you mute woman with glasses, what's bulging in your bag?" Ye Zhi's voice rang out.
"No, it's nothing, just clothes," I stammered, thinking to myself that if I weren't outmatched and didn't have to pretend to be Qi Na, I wouldn't have answered you like that. I would have taught you a lesson about how to behave.
“Really,” Yeats said.
"It's getting late, I have to go home, goodbye!" Without waiting for them to say another word, she ran off as fast as she could.
"Wait, you mute girl..." Ye Zhi was about to say something when she saw that the person was gone. Damn it! You wait.
"Let it go! We'll teach her a lesson next time," Zhang Qi said to Ye Zhi.

Where did Qi Na go? Stay tuned for the next chapter.
