I simultaneously traverse countless worlds

Later, on the rooftop of the teaching building, Chabashira Sae stood alone on the edge of the rooftop, looking at the surrounding teaching buildings. In one hand, she held a lit cigarette but did not take a puff, while the other hand was clenched so tightly that the veins bulged out.

At this moment, Chabashira Sae had absolutely no intention of smoking. The reason she used to carry cigarettes and a lighter was actually to reminisce about her student days. The sense of loss from almost succeeding but suddenly failing was what kept her from forgetting her past failures. After graduating from university, she chose to become a teacher at Advanced Nurturing High School, and she was even assigned to be the homeroom teacher of the least popular Class D.

The reason is that Chabashira Sae, who was also a student at [Advanced Education High School], was a student in Class D of that year, and even almost made it to Class A. Unfortunately, the final push ended in failure, and they graduated as Class B!

"Class A, Class A! Who says Class D can't become Class A? I'll make Class D's glory shine again and surpass our past achievements..."

As the cigarette was almost burned out, Chazuki Sae felt a slight pain in her fingers and clenched her fist to extinguish the still-burning cigarette in her palm, completely disregarding the burning pain. Her beautiful eyes shone with unwavering determination.

That was when Chabashira Sae was a student in Class D, and in their graduation year, they launched their final assault on Class A. Unfortunately, they failed at the last hurdle, causing her to lose her life's goal. Therefore, Chabashira Sae was extremely unwilling to accept this, and after graduating from university, she went to [Advanced Educational High School] to become a homeroom teacher. She even secretly wanted her juniors to achieve her past hopes and give Class D a chance to challenge Class A again.

Unfortunately, the quality of students in the previous D classes was really not good. It can't be described as just "a mixed bag" but rather as "a swarm of scoundrels." Forget about making it toward the difficult goal of A class; it would be a miracle if they could even keep their class points from dropping to zero. Chabashira Sae paid a little attention but did nothing, letting those scoundrels in the D classes struggle to the death until graduation. They could only graduate as flawed products of the D class, and it was uncertain whether they could even continue to university.

This isn't because Chabashira Sae is heartless. It's just that in Advanced Nurturing High School, if you're the homeroom teacher of Class D, and you simply choose to lie low and be a nobody, no one will care. But if you want Class D to achieve an upset and successfully strive to become Class A, then it's easy for the other three classes to suppress you. And Class D, whose overall quality is already inferior to the other classes, is courting disaster by doing this.

Now, Chabashira Sae has found that she has truly found hope. Compared to the student in Class D who deliberately manipulated his scores, the freshman Li Mo, who has already demonstrated strong combat abilities, seems to have a better chance of achieving his desired goal.

……

While Chabashira Sae was still pondering how to investigate Li Mo's actions and whether it was truly necessary to bet on him to help him quickly integrate the disorganized Class D, the three first-year homeroom teachers on the other side did not hide this news from their students and were preparing to subtly remind them.

This is also a rule of the [Advanced Education High School]. During the first month of enrollment, homeroom teachers can remind their students of some rules and useful information. Even upperclassmen are prohibited from directly revealing relevant information to freshmen, otherwise they will be severely punished. Of course, if a freshman discovers a problem on his own initiative and pretends to spy, the school does not impose many restrictions on this, and will not even remind the upperclassmen that they have accidentally leaked information to the freshman.

In other words, the rules of [Advanced Education High School] are quite unique. The stronger and more adaptable a person is, the easier it is for them to obtain useful information. For example, in the newly enrolled first-year class A, some students are already integrating with other students in the class and exploring whether there are other ways to obtain personal and class points besides the class points in the first month. It can be said that they are very proactive.

Before freshmen have any connection with the upperclassmen, they are naturally unaware of Li Mo's great achievements. Therefore, Masashima Tomoya, the homeroom teacher of Class A in the first year, is preparing to give his students a little hint!

"Does anyone know Li Mo, a student in Class D of the first grade?"

In the classroom of Class A in the first year, the homeroom teacher, Majima Satoshi, who had just started teaching, did not immediately begin lecturing. Instead, he looked at his students with a strange expression and spoke in a slightly more serious tone.

Li Mo, a freshman in Class D of the first grade?!

Upon hearing their homeroom teacher's words, the students in Class A, being intelligent individuals, almost all realized that the new student from Class D mentioned by their homeroom teacher was no ordinary person; otherwise, their homeroom teacher wouldn't have specifically brought it up during class.

Undoubtedly, this aroused their curiosity about this person. The students in Class A, including Sakayanagi Arisu, hoped that one of their classmates knew Li Mo. Unfortunately, after a few minutes, no one spoke up, which made them realize that no one knew anything about Li Mo.

This is not unusual at Advanced Nurturing High School. Although it seems that Advanced Nurturing High School admits four classes per grade, totaling 160 students, these 160 students are not recruited from a single school or even a single ward in Tokyo. Instead, they are selected directly from tens of thousands of junior high school graduates in Tokyo every year, and the selection criteria are not fixed.

Therefore, the probability of freshmen at [Advanced Nurturing High School] meeting each other from junior high school was not very high in the past. Even Majima Tomoya, the homeroom teacher of Class A, was hoping for the best, but it seems that he was not so lucky!

"It seems no one in our class knows this Li Mo. Due to some school regulations, we teachers can't reveal too much inside information to you students. You'll have to find out for yourselves. However, I can still tell you that this freshman is very special and a competitor you should take very seriously. Don't underestimate him just because he's a freshman in Class D..."

Tomoya Majima, the homeroom teacher of Class A, also felt a little regretful about this, as he also wanted to learn more about Li Mo, this new monster, as soon as possible.

On the afternoon of the first day of school for new students, they managed to snatch over two million personal points from the senior students. This was the first major event to occur since the founding of [Advanced Education High School]!

As a special high school that prioritizes merit, [Advanced Education High School] aims to cultivate students' own abilities. Therefore, teachers cannot reveal too much information; students need to discover these things for themselves. Otherwise, the students' self-development of their abilities will be hindered.

Even if he were his own class teacher, Majima Tomoya, he wouldn't directly reveal the details of Li Mo's challenge yesterday afternoon. Directly revealing information to his students would be a violation of the rules and would be severely punished if discovered, making it a completely counterproductive act.

However, it's acceptable to skirt the rules a little by mentioning the names of students that Class A should pay attention to, and Majima Tomoya's actions don't fall under the category of violating the rules.

Upon hearing their homeroom teacher's words, the students in Class A all had their eyes gleaming. They all planned to use their abilities to investigate Li Mo, this new student from Class D, to find out why their homeroom teacher was so concerned and worried about him. After all, they were Class A, a class that gathered the best students from each grade.

Of course, the students in Class A were not so arrogant as to think they were invincible. Their homeroom teacher had given them a serious reminder, so they naturally did not think of the other party as an ordinary student. They all paid more attention to Li Mo, a freshman from Class D!

[Li Mo, a freshman in Class D? Could it be because that senior student from the chess club was wary of him this morning? It seems we can't underestimate the other classes either; we need to speed up our plans and establish a firm foothold in Class A!]

In a seat in Class A classroom, Sakayanagi Arisu sat in a standard ladylike posture, looking at the students of Class A around her, silently pondering.

As someone who has been exceptionally intelligent since childhood, Sakayanagi Arisu naturally wouldn't play a supporting role in Class A. What she wants is to take control of the entire Class A and become its true leader.

However, due to her congenital heart disease causing physical weakness and her inconvenience in walking, it is much more difficult for Sakayanagi Arisu to establish herself as the leader in the class than for the average person. Therefore, she has been observing the other competitors in Class A for the past two days. For example, Katsuragi Kohei is obviously a very difficult opponent.

On the second day of school, Sakayanagi Arisu realized that she had underestimated the heroes of the world. Even her own Class A homeroom teacher had given serious warnings to the freshmen in Class D, so they must not be simple people. Moreover, there were other strong people in other classes.

Coincidentally, Class A's homeroom teacher, Tomoya Mashima, reminded his students, as did Class B's homeroom teacher, Chie Hoshinomiya, and Class C's homeroom teacher, Kazuma Sakagami. All three teachers, without prior arrangement, mentioned the matter of Li Mo, a new student in Class D, to their students during class. However, Class B students, who were still considered good students and had not personally experienced the intensity of competition at [Advanced Nurturing High School], only paid lip service to their homeroom teachers' well-intentioned reminders.

In a sense, the students in Class B are truly good students, with excellent academic performance and having already formed a temporary class committee on the first day. However, they have not yet grasped the competitive mechanism of the [Advanced Education High School], which is completely different from that of a normal high school. They are still in a confused new phase of their enrollment.

As for Class C in the first year...

Well, Class C, which is considered to be mostly delinquent teenagers and hot girls, and who are likely to go down the path of yakuza or become social outcasts in the future, is in a chaotic period of warring states. They have already started to arrange fights and brawls in private. As for Li Mo, a freshman in Class D, who was reminded by Class C's homeroom teacher, only a few people will remember it. They will have to wait for a leader to appear before they have time to target other classes outside.

As for Class D, needless to say, Chabashira Sae didn't tell the students in Class D at all. They were unaware of the rumors about the new monsters circulating among the upperclassmen, so they naturally enjoyed a leisurely life on their first day of formal classes!

……

"Phew! It sounds like someone's talking about me!"

In the afternoon, Li Mo walked through the shopping area of ​​the supermarket, rubbing his nose and muttering to himself, but his eyes swept over the dazzling array of goods, preparing to find food ingredients that interested him.

It must be said that, putting aside the competitive mechanism of [Advanced Education High School], its hardware facilities are indeed top-notch. Even though it is a supermarket equivalent to a convenience store, the quality and variety of its goods are very diverse. It has everything from the most basic daily necessities to high-end brand-name products. There is also a special section for free daily necessities provided to students who don't even have a little bit of money.

Even though [Advanced Education High School] emphasizes student competition, it's impossible for them to let students who lose points starve to death or become homeless. Even though the cafeteria offers free vegetable meals and the supermarket has a special section for free daily necessities for those unfortunate students who don't even have a single point, [Advanced Education High School] doesn't mind students with points being frugal. The free vegetable meals are nutritious but somewhat unpalatable, and the free daily necessities are just to help you maintain your daily appearance.

If there are indeed those ruthless individuals who choose to continuously consume free mountain vegetable meals and use free living supplies in order to save points, [Advanced Education High School] will not impose any restrictions on them. At most, they will not allow students to waste the free supplies provided. Even if you save points like this for three years of high school, it will be a drop in the ocean for [Advanced Education High School], and they will not care at all about the expenses incurred by students.

However, Li Mo clearly had no intention of compromising himself. With a large sum of points in hand, he directly selected the ingredients that interested him, such as several packs of A4 grade beef and other high-end goods, which were definitely luxuries for students!

"Li Mo, don't you want to save your points?"

As Li Mo leisurely selected high-end ingredients and filled his shopping cart to about half full, he heard a slightly puzzled voice. It was Horikita Suzune, who hadn't chatted much that day.

"Oh, it's Horikita-kun~!"

Seeing Horikita Suzune holding the free supplies that were limited to one per person, Li Mo casually waved to her, without explaining why he was shopping so lavishly. Instead, looking at the beautiful woman with long, straight black hair in front of him, he directly made a slightly excessive trade proposal: "How about you cook me dinner? I can tell you some confirmed information about the school~!"

When Li Mo said these words, he looked very calm. If he said such straightforward things to an ordinary girl, it would be easy to reduce her goodwill towards him. In China, he would probably be seen as too straight-laced and expecting the girl to cook for him.

The problem is that Li Mo knows Horikita Suzune's personality very well. This beautiful girl with long, straight black hair is a rather stubborn and aloof girl. If you talk to her about social interactions or other topics now, it's probably like talking to a brick wall. However, if you make the terms of the deal clear and she considers them and finds them acceptable, Horikita Suzune will easily agree. For example, helping to cook dinner is a given.

As expected, Horikita Suzune, eager to learn about the school from Li Mo's words, felt that helping to cook dinner was something she could accept, especially since he had offered to provide the ingredients. She readily agreed.

"make a deal!"

Chapter 8 Teasing Horikita Suzune

As for Horikita Suzune, she naturally didn't have any of the spoiled princess ideas. Besides, Japan even has cooking classes in schools. At most, you might not want to cook, but if you're interested and willing to learn, cooking a few home-style dishes is no problem.

In this regard, Horikita Suzune is quite skilled in cooking. While she may not be a professional chef capable of opening a restaurant, she has no problem cooking most Japanese home-style dishes. Moreover, unlike in China, it is very common for women to cook or even manage household chores in Japan. It is rare to see Japanese girls who cannot cook at all, unless they are truly culinary disasters.

—To some extent, Japan's so-called feminism was no less formidable than that of China. During Japan's economic heyday, there were Japanese feminists who constantly boasted about "one girl having four wallets," displaying the style of a female playboy. However, when Japan's economic achievements were harvested by America's sugar daddy, Japan plummeted to a pitiful state, resulting in a stark polarization. Ordinary Japanese men chose to lie low, while wealthy Japanese men could choose whatever they wanted. Japanese feminism was effectively rendered obliterated.

In the world of the Real Education, Japan's economic situation is not much better than the world Li Mo transmigrated to. Things like feminism are almost extinct in Japan. Even the marriage requirements for Japanese women have become "family-oriented and not abusive". Horikita Suzune is still very outstanding in terms of feminine strength. It's just that her cold attitude makes her hard to approach, let alone become a close friend.

Right now, Li Mo used a small amount of information from [Advanced Education High School] to get Horikita Suzune to cook dinner for him. The beautiful girl with long black hair didn't think there was anything wrong with her exchanging a meal for information and simply nodded in agreement!

"Hidden rules of the school? Sure enough, the 100,000 points for freshmen, and the cameras in classrooms and on campus, hide a lot of things!"

As Li Mo and Horikita Suzune left the supermarket, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, who had suddenly appeared from the side, watched their departing figures with a calm gaze. He silently confirmed the situation in his mind, realizing that [Advanced Education High School] was indeed very different from the schools he knew.

Even as the sole product of the "Artificial Genius" project, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka still maintained basic common sense, knowing that a high school should focus on intensive study in preparation for a better university. However, the idea of ​​a "High School for Advanced Development" left him somewhat bewildered, having escaped with the help of his old butler. The numerous surveillance cameras and the 100,000 points given upon enrollment made him instinctively sense something was amiss, and hearing Li Mo's words just now confirmed his suspicions.

Undoubtedly, the D-class student named Li Mo knew some secret information, but unfortunately, he obviously wouldn't tell everyone directly. Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, however, wasn't angry. The sealed base of the "Artificial Genius" project where he was located wouldn't allow the test subjects to develop any personality. Beneath Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's calm face lay a cold attitude that prioritized his own interests.

Having merely observed and confirmed that Li Mo and Horikita Suzune had left, without revealing any further information about the school's hidden rules, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka silently thought to himself as he collected the free personal belongings:

"Forget it! All I want is a peaceful high school life!"

……

Li Mo naturally noticed Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's presence, but he didn't pay any attention to him, let alone consider anything like trying to curry favor with the protagonist!

If a transmigrator without any cheat codes were suddenly thrown into the Advanced Training High School in the Real Education World, they would probably have to consider whether to cling to the protagonist's coattails. But Li Mo never thought that way. Even without cheat codes, he wouldn't have such thoughts.

Putting aside the fact that Kiyotaka Ayanokouji's behavior in the Classroom of the Elite anime has earned him the nickname "Heartless Kiyotaka" from many netizens, it's clear what kind of person he is. Going to this guy to curry favor with him would likely result in Kiyotaka Ayanokouji seemingly treating him as a friend and subordinate, but in reality, he'd just throw him away when necessary.

In the world of Real Education, the "Advanced Nurturing High School" emphasizes competition rather than natural selection. Li Mo could choose to be a slacker without any special abilities. If he worked hard without any cheat codes, he could barely manage as a plagiarist. With the cheat code of the "White Mist Space," it would be very easy for him to gain wealth and power. Why would he need to support the so-called protagonist?

Therefore, Li Mo didn't care about Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's existence at all. It was as if the other party would be fine if he occasionally heard some news. Before being threatened by Chabashira Sae to promote Class D to Class A, this guy's idea was to live a peaceful life as much as possible, or more like an emotionless robot.

As for Horikita Suzune, Li Mo took her to his room and watched with great interest as she busied herself in the kitchen of her single dormitory. She completely took over the kitchen without any hesitation, wearing an apron and frying the cut beef. At the same time, she was preparing macaroni and eggs on the other side. The dishes she was making were the more common steak set meal, which is a very common Western dish in Japan.

In less than twenty minutes, several plates containing two steak sets were brought to the table. Horikita Suzune took off her apron, washed her hands, and sat down on the other side of the table to have her own dinner.

"It tastes great! Lingyin's cooking skills are excellent!"

Seeing the delicious-looking steak set meal in front of him, Li Mo skillfully used his knife and fork to cut the steak into small pieces, put them in his mouth, and savored the wonderful taste of the meat, praising it as he ate.

From Li Mo's perspective in the Real Education World, Horikita Suzune's cooking skills are truly impressive, almost reaching the level of a professional chef. As for Li Mo himself in the Real Education World, his previous cooking skills were only at the level of instant noodles, boiled noodles, and boiled eggs. He mostly just bought supermarket bento boxes, heated them up, and ate them. After obtaining the [White Mist Space] cheat, he stopped cooking for himself even more.

In comparison, Horikita Suzune's cooking skills are truly outstanding. Even though she was in the kitchen just now, her icy beauty charm didn't diminish much, making Li Mo even more smitten. He wanted to see her adorable expression when her icy demeanor thawed!

"..."

Hearing Li Mo's praise, Horikita Suzune, who was savoring her own creation, paused slightly, but did not reply and resumed eating. She was a little uncomfortable with Li Mo's change to an affectionate way of addressing her, but after thinking about it, she didn't mind too much and simply accepted it.

Well, Horikita Suzune herself has a low emotional intelligence. Not to mention getting along well with the people around her, her understanding of relationships between men and women is limited to textbook knowledge, so naturally she doesn't know about Li Mo's prying eyes on her.

In contrast, Horikita Suzune was more concerned about her older brother Horikita Manabu's situation at this Advanced Nurturing High School and how she could catch up with his grades. The little information Li Mo had previously given her made her realize that Advanced Nurturing High School was not as simple as it seemed, but when she tried to ask anyone, no one would answer.

In fact, not to mention the first-year students who are mostly still clueless, even if the second- and third-year students knew the situation, they wouldn't tell the new students. This is not only because the school has blocked information in this regard, but more importantly, the second- and third-year students have experienced the fierce competition in this area, so naturally they wouldn't kindly remind their juniors. You should know that since [Advanced Education High School] has a competitive mechanism, it is not limited to the first-year students; in fact, all students in the school are in the competition.

In the past two days, Horikita Suzune tried to approach the upperclassmen girls, but unfortunately, she has always been weak in interpersonal skills and couldn't get along with them at all. The conversations ended unhappily after only a few words. As for the hidden rules of [Advanced Nurturing High School], the upperclassmen girls naturally wouldn't reveal a single piece of information to her.

That's why Horikita Suzune wanted to find Li Mo to find out some information. In her eyes, exchanging dinner for this was an acceptable thing, especially since Li Mo was very thoughtful and even prepared a portion for her dinner!

"What about the school-related information you mentioned?"

As she began washing the dishes, Horikita Suzune gazed intently at Li Mo, who was sitting calmly on the sofa. Her beautiful fox-like eyes were serious, and it was clear that she might really get angry if Li Mo didn't give her a satisfactory answer.

"Tsk tsk, you really are impatient!"

Seeing Horikita Suzune's serious attitude, Li Mo, knowing she was a stubborn person, wasn't angry. He sighed and straightened up from the sofa, handing her several handwritten and folded letters. While watching Horikita Suzune open and read the letters, he kindly reminded her, "Take a look. This is some information I've gathered about [Advanced Nurturing High School] through various methods..."

The information provided by Li Mo was naturally true and accurate. It was entirely based on the information he had obtained about [Advanced Educational High School], and he had selected some content that was suitable for Horikita Suzune to know. For example, there was information about the first month of enrollment for new students at [Advanced Educational High School], such as 1,000 class points and related information.

In particular, Li Mo clearly explained the class points and individual points in the information, letting Horikita Suzune know the key points. This kind of information should actually be given to Class D's homeroom teacher, Chabashira Sae, to inform the students of Class D. However, this despicable teacher would never waste a single bit of money on the dregs of Class D before seeing any hope. As for Class A, Class B, and Class C, they would know the information but would not be so kind as to share it, let alone the students of Class D who are still unaware of it.

Of course, Li Mo felt that the gap between the students in Class D this year was too obvious. The strong ones, such as Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, Horikita Suzune, and Koenji Rokusuke, were all problem children. The weak ones were not worth counting on at all. It would be a miracle if they didn't drag the team down. However, miracles can't always happen. No wonder Chabashira Sae gave up on the previous Class D classes. The reason was that there were too many bad teammates and she couldn't carry them.

However, Li Mo was very interested in Horikita Suzune. This kind of cold and aloof beauty with long, straight black hair was just as appealing to him as the silver-haired beauty. Or perhaps Li Mo's choice was very philanthropic, and he was confident that he wouldn't end up with a machete!

"So, the class points are multiplied by 1000 to determine each student's points for the following month? They're actually testing students' classroom discipline and daily behavior? Wait, doesn't that mean we might lose points today? Also, the order of Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class D can be reversed? Only graduating from Class A will get preferential treatment? But how do we get promoted to Class A…"

On the other side, Horikita Suzune, sitting on the other side of the sofa, was intently looking at the intelligence information in her hand, unaware of what Li Mo was thinking. Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she couldn't help but mutter to herself, but her voice also grew louder and louder.

If the previous information was semi-public within the first-year class, which made Horikita Suzune feel it was important and somewhat concerned, then compared to the information that could help Class D be promoted to Class A, all her attention was focused on this piece of information. You see, what she wanted most was to catch up with and surpass her older brother, Horikita Manabu. If she could help Class D be promoted to Class A in the first year, then her brother would probably praise her, right?

The problem is that Li Mo deliberately left himself a backup plan in this regard. While the information about class points that the gang could obtain from Class A or Class B was very detailed, the information about how to promote Class D to Class A was not mentioned above!

……

"Li Mo, what happened to the news about how to get promoted? There's no information anymore!!"
