I simultaneously traverse countless worlds

"I never intended to hide anything; I just didn't want to show off in front of those small fry. Besides, we don't need to keep testing each other, right?"

Li Mo didn't seem to care about Chazuki Sae's reaction. He calmly walked up to her, admiring her mature and alluring charm, and then gave her a final warning: "This will only waste everyone's time. Just tell me your real reason for coming to see me!"

In fact, Li Mo knew Chazaki Sae's purpose, but he couldn't directly say, "I know your purpose." Moreover, Chazaki Sae had some psychological issues; in Li Mo's opinion, she had a very paranoid personality.

For a normal person, it's normal to feel frustrated and want to fight back when faced with setbacks. But Chabashira Sae, after graduating from university, didn't want to live a normal life. Instead, she applied to return to Advanced Nurturing High School as a teacher. She had no interest in career or love. Her only thought was to make Class D become Class A again.

This kind of meticulous preparation over several years, all for the purpose of achieving a goal that has no direct benefit to oneself, might be called strong will in some situations, but in the case of Chabashira Sae, it can only be described as a fanatical obsession with achieving a goal. It would not be wrong to say that she has the tendency of a fanatic. Li Mo even felt that if he refused her, Chabashira Sae might try to force him to join her obsessive goal of making Class D into Class A.

Don't say it's impossible. Just look at how Chabashira Sae discovered Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's hidden strength in the Classroom of the First Class anime, and how she knew that he would likely face trouble if he dropped out. She still used dropping out to threaten him into consolidating the class's strength and getting him to find a way to lead Class D to Class A. This shows that her moral bottom line is very flexible. Besides, she is also a stubborn woman who is prone to getting stuck in a rut.

Fortunately, Li Mo wanted to experience the storyline of the Classroom of the Immortals and had his own power as a backing, so he didn't care about the pressure from Chabashira Sae. He even directly told her to speak her mind if she had anything to say, wanting to see if she had any other ideas.

"Phew! Since that's the case, I won't hide my purpose anymore. You should know that classes in each grade can be promoted, right? What I hope is that you can lead this year's Class D to surpass Class C, Class B, and even Class A, and become the new Class A!"

Hearing Li Mo's words, Chashiba Sae, who was originally thinking about how to meet the other party and hopefully get the other party to agree to her request, felt a slight sense of relief and let out a breath. She looked at Li Mo very seriously, and her aura seemed to suddenly become sharper as she spoke her expectations word by word.

When she said these words, Chabashira Sae's expression was completely different from her usual indifference. Her beautiful eyes seemed to be burning with flames, and her pretty face showed a hint of pain and determination. Clearly, this was the knot in her heart that she had been holding onto all along. It was a knot in her heart that had been tied to her past when she was a third-year student in Class D at Advanced Nurturing High School, striving to enter Class A, but ultimately failing and missing the chance to graduate with Class A. It had been a knot in her heart that had been entangled with her and made her unwilling to accept this situation.

Even Horikita Suzune and Hirata Yosuke, who were eavesdropping at the stairwell, could feel the sincerity in Chabashira Sae's words. The two of them had different expressions on their faces. It was the first time Hirata Yosuke had learned that the four classes in the first year could actually advance to the next class, which immediately gave him a strange feeling. He realized that [Advanced Education High School] seemed to have many hidden rules.

As for Horikita Suzune, she already knew about this, but Li Mo had asked her not to leak the information. She was currently racking her brains trying to figure out how to get a bunch of useless people who were dragging her down to work together, and she hadn't come up with a good solution yet.

"So, this is all your purpose?"

Faced with Chabashira Sae's expectations, Li Mo couldn't help but sigh as he looked at her. His cryptic reply felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over Chabashira Sae's head, leaving her feeling utterly confused.

"What do you mean?"

Chabashira Sae was momentarily taken aback by Li Mo's calm demeanor. She looked at Li Mo with some confusion, wondering if he was unaware of the benefits of graduating from Class A, yet also feeling as if he already knew this information.

After all, after a week of observation, Chabashira Sae discovered that Li Mo had always been indifferent to the situation of Class D. Apart from occasionally interacting with Horikita Suzune, a beautiful girl who was also a problem child, he seemed to only recognize the other students in Class D. Even when Kushida Kikyo took the initiative to express her desire to make friends with everyone, Li Mo's attitude was to add her contact information, but then there was no further contact.

But Chashu Sae understood that Li Mo had discovered the rules of [Advanced Education High School] on the first day of school and chose to challenge them to a duel to gain a large number of personal points. It was not convincing to say that Li Mo had been a slacker these past few days. She did not think that information such as promotion, which would become common knowledge a month after each new student's enrollment, could be kept from Li Mo unless he was really a fool who only relied on brute force. However, Li Mo's performance proved that he was by no means a reckless man.

At least, a brute might have some fighting skills, but when faced with a problem, he only thinks of solving it with force. However, the situation at [Advanced Training High School] is one that is difficult to solve with force alone. You have to consider how to integrate a class, gather intelligence, and advance to the next class, etc. The reason why Chabashira Sae decided to bet on Li Mo is that she believes that he has both strength and brains, and should be more suitable to lead Class D than that old silver coin who was used as a backup.

In any case, after observing Li Mo and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, Chahashi Sae found that Li Mo at least had both strength and brains, while the latter acted like a complete underachiever. It would be very difficult to expect the latter to integrate Class D. Therefore, Chahashi Sae's cautious attitude was to regard him as a candidate.

Seeing the puzzled look in Chabashira Sae's eyes, Li Mo felt somewhat helpless. He had secretly checked the past few days' graduating A-class information and, knowing the details of previous graduating classes at [Advanced Nurturing High School], simply shrugged and said:

"Unfortunately, I think it's right for you to want Class D to be promoted to Class A, but it's probably completely impossible for the original Class D to graduate as Class A!"

Chapter 11 Clash and Agreement

"Li Mo, what exactly do you mean?!"

Upon hearing Li Mo's words, which implied something, Chabashira Sae's eyebrows furrowed.

What does it mean that a student in Class D cannot graduate from Class A?

If it's really impossible, would [Advanced Education High School] introduce a promotion system?

Moreover, Chabashira Sae didn't think that Li Mo was unaware of the significance. Putting aside the other benefits of Class D becoming Class A, the preferential treatment in employment upon graduation from the third year of high school would already be the envy of many.

However, students from wealthy families, or those who don't care about employment benefits, might not actually care. Is that what Li Mo is thinking...?

"It means exactly what it says!"

Seeing Chabashira Sae's clearly displeased expression, Li Mo didn't mince words and directly pointed out a crucial issue: "Putting everything else aside, do you think those people in Class D have the potential to challenge Class A? They don't pay attention in class, they play on their phones, are late, daydream, and some even skip class altogether..."

Li Mo's voice wasn't loud, but it left Chabashira Sae and the eavesdropping Horikita Suzune and Hirata Yosuke speechless. They had all witnessed the current situation of the D-class students and naturally understood that Li Mo's words were not an exaggeration at all.

On the first day of class, the students in Class D managed to barely maintain classroom discipline. Apart from the self-centered Rokusuke Koenji, the students were quite afraid of the teacher's authority and didn't dare to make any big moves in class. However, with Rokusuke Koenji as their role model, and finding that the teacher didn't care about Rokusuke Koenji's actions at all, some of them naturally started to imitate him and secretly make some small moves.

If the teacher had strengthened classroom discipline at this time, most of the students in Class D would have been able to behave obediently. However, the teachers at [Advanced Education High School] were quite lenient in this regard. Teachers including Chabashira Saeko did not care about anything except lecturing from the textbook, which caused the students to behave increasingly outrageously.

Leaving aside blatant disruption of classroom discipline, inattentiveness, playing on mobile phones, tardiness, and daydreaming have occurred repeatedly. Today, Xu Tengjian even skipped class, saying he was going to the basketball club to learn basketball. Moreover, it is foreseeable that without teacher supervision and disciplinary action, most students in Class D lack self-control. The few who listen attentively are actually in the minority in class, leaving one feeling particularly speechless.

In contrast, Li Mo observed that the order in Class A and Class B was quite good over the past few days. Even without the teachers maintaining classroom discipline, the students in both classes listened attentively and rarely violated classroom rules. As for Class C, the students didn't cause any chaos in class either; at most, they would arrange to meet somewhere to play mahjong after class.

Judging from the students' performance in the four classes, it's clear that the class assignments at [High-Level Education High School] are not random. Students in the higher-ranking classes have higher overall quality. While there may be a few capable but problematic students in the lower-ranking classes, the most common situation is that the students are incompetent and drag the school down.

This situation left even those in the know speechless. The current state of Class D is a real headache. Not to mention the experienced Chabashira Sae, even Horikita Suzune and Hirata Yosuke feel at a loss!

"Aren't you going to give it a try and lead Class D to Class A?"

Faced with Li Mo's answer, Chazuki Sae was a little anxious, worried that he would refuse outright. She knew that she probably didn't have a suitable way to get Li Mo to help lead the entire Class D forward, so she couldn't help but speak up.

"Tsk tsk, before answering that question, may I ask why you are so insistent on promoting Class D to Class A?"

At this moment, Li Mo, instead of being in a hurry, asked with great interest.

“Li Mo, I can tell you. I used to be a student at [Advanced Education High School] just like you, a student in Class D of that year…”

Hearing Chashu Sae's words, Li Mo's expression remained unchanged. However, Hirata Yosuke and Horikita Suzune, who were eavesdropping behind the rooftop gate, both showed shocked expressions. This was something they had never expected before.

"I see, no wonder you're so concerned about Class D surpassing Class A!"

Hearing Chabashira Sae's explanation, Li Mo, who had already confirmed the news, was not surprised at all, but he was still curious.

"I just saw the resentment in your eyes. It seems that your class, Class D, must have achieved remarkable results, right? Let me guess, you successfully surpassed Class C, or even Class B!"

Just from Chabashira Sae's words, Li Mo, who knew the plot of the Classroom of the First Year anime, guessed the general situation. He revealed a devilish smile and said to Chabashira Sae, "But since you are resentful, it seems that you failed when you tried to enter Class A, and it was a crushing defeat that left you with memories that you regret..."

"As expected of monster-level freshmen, you're right, we lost! We lost miserably. Not only did we fail to surpass Class A, we even fell into the abyss..."

At this moment, Chabashira Sae was genuinely frightened. Looking at Li Mo, who had easily guessed the general truth, she reaffirmed her idea of ​​pulling Li Mo to the top, but her tone was filled with a sense of desolation and boredom.

Horikita Suzune and Hirata Yosuke, who were eavesdropping behind the rooftop gate, felt a pang of empathy as they listened to Chabashira Sae's tone when she spoke. Even though they hadn't experienced what happened back then, they could tell how tragic it was for their homeroom teacher to be so devastated and questioning the meaning of life.

This made Horikita Suzune and Hirata Yosuke clench their fists involuntarily. After all, although their motives were not pure, their goal was to upgrade Class D to Class A, not to end up like this with the same homeroom teacher.

Li Mo remained calm, which made Chabashira Sae, who was preparing to use her pitiful act, feel inexplicably uncertain.

If it were a hot-blooded, immature teenager, Chabashira Sae's sob story tactic might work, but Li Mo, having integrated the memories of Li Mo from multiple different worlds, has an unprecedentedly high level of resistance to tragic events.

No matter how miserable you are, can you be as miserable as the common people who resort to cannibalism during a severe drought?

Is it as miserable as those post-apocalyptic refugees struggling in a nuclear-radiated wasteland?

And that doesn't even include the avengers Li Mo had met whose friends and family died in the jaws of demons, the survivors who lost everything in the biohazard apocalypse, and other people whose fates were even more tragic...

It was precisely because of this greatly enhanced knowledge that Li Mo had enough psychological resilience to withstand any tragic scene. He would not rush to agree to a beautiful woman's request after a few pleas, because in an environment like the apocalypse, that would cost him his life!

"I bet your Class D back then consisted of a few outstanding leaders leading a bunch of weaklings or even dragging you down, right?"

Therefore, watching Chashu Sae's sob story, Li Mo watched her performance with great interest and directly guessed the situation of her Class D back then.

Even after more than a decade, considering that the class division mechanism of [Advanced Education High School] is still divided into four classes: A, B, C, and D, it is conceivable that the quality of students in the lowest-ranked D class is not that high. It is estimated that the D class of this year is not much better.

Knowing the situation of Class D, Li Mo wouldn't rashly agree. Otherwise, it would be fine for him to offer suggestions in his spare time, but asking him to take the initiative to become the class monitor and lead Class D would be too troublesome.

Furthermore, Li Mo roughly guessed Chabashira Sae's idea. The other party wanted to use the sob story to get him to agree to integrate and lead Class D. However, having watched the Class 101 manga, he knew that Class D was mostly made up of weaklings. He was curious about what the other party's Class D was like back then. Did they have a leader who was good at leading people?

Upon hearing Li Mo's words, Chabashira Sae recalled some unpleasant memories and couldn't help but let out a wild laugh: "Hahaha, you're right, most of the guys in Class D are a bunch of useless trash, even a drag on the team!"

Chabashira Sae's unrestrained laughter made Hirata Yosuke, who was eavesdropping, clench his fists again. He didn't like the homeroom teacher's evaluation of his classmates. After all, he wanted to lead everyone to build a harmonious and loving class, and he didn't think that his classmates were all useless.

On the other side, Horikita Suzune was also very unhappy, after all, she knew that in the eyes of this homeroom teacher, she was also a pretty good-for-nothing.

"Well, in this respect, most of the students in Class D are nobodies, but there are a few who are quite outstanding. The problem is that those few are all problem children!"

Seeing the hidden anger in Chabashira Sae's eyes, Li Mo knew that she must have been badly let down by some trash in her class in the past, and that the reason she was defeated by Class A and fell into the abyss might even be related to those trash dragging her down.

After all, it's not the god-like opponents you should fear, but the pig-like teammates. And Class D happens to be the class most prone to producing pig teammates, since there are just too many idiots!

"Oh, it seems I underestimated your Class D this year!"

When Li Mo mentioned that there were several outstanding students in Class D, Chashu Sae was somewhat surprised and realized that her understanding of Class D was not deep enough.

But you can't blame Chabashira Sae for that. The D class she was in was already quite outstanding. The D classes that followed were just ridiculous. Over time, she lost interest and just watched from the sidelines.

However, Chabashira Sae felt that Li Mo was being modest. After all, someone as monstrous as him was the first of his kind since the school's founding, so she spoke in a tone of praise:

"In my opinion, no matter how outstanding they are, they are still far inferior to you, a newly emerged monster. I believe you can easily suppress their actions!"

Li Mo couldn't help but laugh at Chabazusa's praise, saying, "Tsk tsk, it seems you want me to use absolute force to unify the students in the class. Are you sure you want me to do that?"

"That's right. With your abilities, no one can resist you. So, as long as you unite the entire Class D as the powerful one, you can make them obedient. Then you can easily lead Class D to surpass other classes and even reach the throne of Class A!"

Chabashira Sae immediately perked up, not thinking there was anything wrong with what she said. After all, this was a school that valued strength above all else, and there were always those who led the class in almost every year.

Hearing Chabashira Sae's words, Li Mo remained calm. Horikita Suzune and Hirata Yosuke were not angry this time. After all, he had done something similar in middle school, becoming a powerful figure in the class through violence. It was precisely because of this that he was relegated to Class D despite his excellent grades. Because he had been a powerful figure himself, Hirata Yosuke knew that Chabashira Sae's suggestion was very likely to succeed and was a good way to lead Class D to surpass Class A.

But it was precisely because he had been a powerful figure in a class that he felt some resentment. After all, his wish was to build a harmonious and friendly class. Otherwise, he wouldn't have acted so gently in his new school and new class.

Compared to Hirata Yosuke, who was somewhat conflicted, Horikita Suzune seemed quite calm. This was mainly because she had already seen the bunch of losers in Class D, black-haired beauties who had absolutely no management or teamwork skills. After thinking it over, she felt there was no good solution, and the most reliable option was a strong-willed person like the homeroom teacher.

Otherwise, you can't expect the students in Class D to unite on their own. You might as well expect the students in the first three classes to become weaklings!

"Sorry, I have no interest in becoming a class tyrant!"

Hearing Li Mo's words, Hirata Yosuke breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he didn't want the class to be led by a powerful figure, and he knew that if Li Mo wanted to be a powerful figure, with his strength and intelligence, no one could resist him as long as he used some underhanded means. The only way to avoid this would be to drop out of school.

As for gaining a large number of points to transfer classes, Hirata Yosuke hadn't considered it. After all, in the same school, offending a monster like Li Mo would make it impossible to move an inch!

Horikita Suzune wasn't too worried; she had a lot of confidence in Li Mo.

As for Li Mo's personal thoughts, he simply had no interest in leading a bunch of useless teammates. In other worlds, Li Mo had experience commanding thousands of troops, so dealing with a group of first-year high school students was no problem for him. However, he had little interest in being the ruler of a class; that was child's play for him.

When she saw that Chabashira Sae's beautiful eyes had almost lost their sparkle because of her words, and considering that she could also be one of the beauties she was after, she didn't want to continue to hurt her feelings. Instead, she changed the subject:

"Hey teacher, are you disappointed? Don't worry, although I don't plan to become a powerful figure to lead the class, I didn't say I didn't want the class to be promoted."

"After all, it would be quite interesting to have D defeat Class A, but I haven't had much free time lately, and I also want to observe the situation of the other students in the school and class more, so it's not the right time for me to make a move yet..."

Li Mo's words rekindled hope in Chabashira Sae's eyes, and even Horikita Suzune and Hirata Yosuke felt a surge of confidence.

"Li Mo, you are a smart student. I won't interfere with what you do. Just do what you think is right!"

At this moment, Chabashira Sae understood very well that a monster-level student like Li Mo was someone she couldn't control, so she adopted a laissez-faire approach and even gave him some indirect advice: "However, Li Mo, if you also think it's interesting to participate in something, and happen to defeat the classes blocking our way and become Class A by stepping over their corpses, that would be a very fulfilling and interesting thing!"

When Chabashira Sae said these words, she felt a strange sense of emotion. She didn't even know when was the last time she had tried to persuade someone in such a humble way. However, threatening Li Mo, who was both incredibly strong and intelligent, was completely useless. She could only try to play the victim.

In any case, Li Mo was the strongest and most advantageous student among all the previous D-class students that Chahashi Sae had seen. However, given his strength, he was not afraid of her coercion and enticement tactics. Chahashi Sae even vaguely sensed that if she really used any forceful methods, she might be the one who suffered. If he could accumulate enough points to advance to the next class with his own strength, it would be very easy for him. Class A would probably welcome him very much and would have no choice but to bow down, submit, and use the strategy of playing the victim.

Compared to Chashu Sae, who had already thought things through and had a plan of action, she had already seen that Li Mo might be more responsive to gentle persuasion than force, and even had a playful attitude. So she planned to use this to lure him into challenging Class A. As for Horikita Suzune and Hirata Yosuke, who were just bystanders, their feelings were different, but the only thing they could be sure of was that Li Mo was probably really preparing to make a big move in Class D!
