I simultaneously traverse countless worlds

Seeing that even his homeroom teacher, Kazuma Sakagami, had spoken up to persuade him, Ryuen Sho, knowing that getting angry wouldn't solve anything, nodded in agreement and stopped showing his displeasure. Looking at Class C, whose atmosphere had relaxed after his conversation with the homeroom teacher, he no longer spoke in a tyrannical manner, but instead said in a gentle tone, "Everyone remember, don't break any of the school rules and regulations. You can all enjoy yourselves today..."

Even without being taught certain dragon-slaying techniques in China, Ryuuen Sho had witnessed how other Japanese yakuza leaders managed their underlings before enrolling in the Advanced Education High School. They simply ruled with violence and then rewarded or punished. Such a completely violent form of rule is difficult to sustain. Modern people, including Africans, cannot be completely obedient. Without mastering the degree of violent rule, it is a very dangerous thing.

Therefore, Long Yuanxiang's strict demands on the students of Class C these past few days, requiring them to abide by school rules and regulations and maintain classroom order, showed that they also harbored grievances, but these were not manifested due to his violent rule. Now that the class scores for the first month have been released, he needs to arrange for the students of Class C to relax a bit.

Upon hearing Ryuuen Sho's words, Class C erupted in cheers. Many students wore excited expressions, already planning how to show off later. Among them, Shiina Hiyori, observing Ryuuen Sho's expression thoughtfully, remained silent...

Chapter 21 Preemptive Strike

As night deepened, Shiina Hiyori's dormitory returned to calm, but the secretive and passionate atmosphere from just moments before had not yet dissipated. Shiina Hiyori was now quietly lying on Li Mo's chest, feeling her lover's strong heartbeat while recounting what she had observed about Class C.

After all, Shiina Hiyori is already Li Mo's bedmate, and she has no attachment to Class C, which she has only been in for a month. If she hadn't been assigned to Class C and hadn't had to pay the astronomical sum of 20 million personal points to change classes, she probably would have already considered transferring to Class D. Even if Li Mo doesn't say anything, Shiina Hiyori is secretly gathering information about Class C. For example, today she saw Ryuen Sho's expression and saw him taking a few trusted subordinates out for a private meeting after class, which led her to conclude that the other party might be up to something.

As a beautiful girl with excellent academic and observational skills who loves literature, Shiina Hiyori wouldn't be foolish enough to ask directly. She can analyze things just by observing the slightest movements of Class C. Besides, the students in Class C haven't received any training. If she overhears some of their discussions, she will naturally tell her lover in secret. Today, she had Li Mo come directly over.

Of course, Li Mo also knew that the silver-haired beauty in his arms missed him. They couldn't have close contact in public, but they met occasionally in private and confided in each other, which made him feel very moved and he quietly came over!

"...I noticed that Long Yuanxiang's expression was off. He also took a few trusted confidants with him and left. I guess they're up to something!"

On the bed, Shiina Hiyori lazily enjoyed the lingering afterglow of the pleasure she had just experienced, but she still mustered her spirits to tell her lover what she had seen and also shared her thoughts on what Ryuen Sho might do next.

"Hmm~!"

Seeing Shiina Hiyori's adorable and alluring posture, Li Mo lowered his head and kissed the silver-haired beauty in his arms, eliciting a few coquettish whimpers from her before continuing to hold her close and leisurely saying, "Hiyori, you're right. Ryuen Sho is no ordinary person. After learning that Class C is at the bottom of the four first-year classes after the first month's assessment, he will definitely do something else..."

Having watched the anime "Real Education," Li Mo naturally knew that among the four first-year classes, apart from Class B, which genuinely lacked cunning, the other three classes each had formidable characters, with Ryuu Yuen-sho being a standout among them.

In the educational anime, the fierce competition among the first-year classes is exemplified by Ryuu Sho becoming the leader of Class C. As the leader of Class C, he takes the initiative to test the waters, and Classes D, A, and B have all suffered at his hands. Moreover, with his skills, he has managed to unite Class C into a cohesive unit. Compared to the other three classes, Class C is the most combative. Li Mo would never believe that he would behave himself!

Especially with Li Mo's appearance, Class D's class points in the first month even surpassed Class C's. It's not that he doesn't care about the title of Class C, but Class C would probably have become Class D by now. It would be strange if Long Yuanxiang could hold back. Other students in Class C might be okay, but as the leader of Class C, if he doesn't react, and Class C is really demoted to Class D, then the leader's position will probably have to be replaced. Naturally, he won't just watch the current situation without reacting.

According to Li Mo's personal opinion, Long Yuanxiang would probably still use Class D as the breakthrough point for his attack. After all, Class D is slightly better than Class C and is the most obvious threat. Class B and Class A are actually stronger, so Long Yuanxiang is unlikely to choose those two classes directly. If the first attack fails, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to people's confidence and morale.

However, Li Mo was not in a hurry at all. He knew that the current Class D was not the same as the Class D in the original storyline. Moreover, with Hiyori Shiina secretly tipping them off, if Ryuen Sho tried to do anything underhanded, he would probably only humiliate himself!

……

As the new month began, the four first-grade classes seemed to have entered a normal school life. Even the class leaders knew that the first assessment period was over and the school would no longer deduct points for classroom discipline and student behavior, yet they still led their students to behave themselves.

At first glance, Class A and Class B have the best classroom discipline. They even have self-study courses after class. The facilities at [Advanced Education High School] are very good. Many key points of knowledge that are not taught in ordinary Japanese high schools can be found in the school library. If you want to switch to private tutoring classes, it will cost a lot of money, which is far beyond the reach of ordinary families.

In this regard, Li Mo encouraged the ordinary students in Class D to study as hard as possible. He didn't expect these scumbags in Class D to get into Tokyo University, but as long as their grades were above average, that would be something to celebrate. Moreover, this would allow the students in Class D to have higher qualities, so that even if he brought these scumbags into Class A, their overall quality wouldn't be able to support the title of Class A graduates. That would probably not be a good thing for these scumbags.

As for most of the ordinary students in Class D, being arranged by the "Big Boss" to study after class every day, letting them experience the benefits of tutoring in advance, meant they had no choice but to accept it without any room for refusal. Unless they excelled in this subject or participated in the school's sports club training, they had to obediently participate in the after-school self-study, otherwise Li Mo would call them in for a good "heart-to-heart talk".

Fortunately, Li Mo wasn't some kind of demon. For the ordinary students in Class D, the requirement was that their grades were above average, and they were given at least one day off on weekends. But for those students in Class D who didn't do well, that one day was just to give them a breather. They would rather stay in their dorms and lie around like corpses than work anymore.

However, some students in Class D still used their holidays to pursue their hobbies and sports. For example, a girl who was not very noticeable in Class D took advantage of her rare holiday time to go to a secluded spot to take a selfie!

"Everyone, Shizuku's new selfie is coming soon~!"

In the third week of the new month, on the stairs of an abandoned school building at Advanced Nurturing High School, Airi Sakura turned on the camera she had bought at the start of the school year and muttered to herself as she prepared to take a selfie.

If any students from Class D were present at this moment, they would be quite surprised!

Previously, Sakura Airi was practically invisible in Class D. Her grades were mediocre, and she sat in the last few rows. Even when girls occasionally spoke to her, this timid and beautiful girl could barely reply.

Therefore, the students in Class D had only a vague impression of Sakura Airi. Even the students who were usually most enthusiastic about beautiful women, such as Yamauchi Haruki and Ike Kanji, were busy studying hard because of Li Mo's strict requirements. They didn't have much energy to pursue beautiful women. Their biggest wish every day was to go to bed early and rest, and then play games properly during their weekly breaks.

However, Sakura Airi's current attire is completely different from her ordinary school uniform in Class D and in her daily life. Instead of covering her hair and wearing black-rimmed glasses, she has taken off her glasses and styled her hair in a single ponytail. Her fiery red hair looks exceptionally beautiful with her fashionable clothes.

If you look closely, Sakura Airi's current appearance is absolutely stunning. Her figure is so good that it's unbelievable for a girl her age. It's said that even most European and American girls her age can't compare. When she wears fashionable clothes and poses, she can completely rival a model... In fact, before entering [Advanced Nurturing High School], Sakura Airi was a blog idol and a print idol in her private life. Moreover, her online accounts always showed a very energetic attitude, completely different from her timid and submissive demeanor in real life.

In this regard, it can only be said that ordinary people may be corporate slaves in their daily lives, but they may become irritable old men when they go online. Moreover, in Japan, where daily life is relatively stressful, it is not uncommon for people to become completely different when they go online. Sakura Airi started taking selfies online when she was in junior high school and became a personal idol. She quickly gained a large number of online fans with her outstanding appearance.

If Sakura Airi hadn't been aspiring to debut as a model, and hadn't been too young to legally sign a contract as an adult, she probably would have joined a large advertising agency and debuted as a model. This would have saved her a lot of trouble, as modeling in Japan isn't exactly a pure and innocent profession.

Now, Sakura Airi is taking advantage of her rest time to shoot several new sets of photos, and then upload them to her online account when she has the opportunity, so that she can maintain her popularity as an online idol!

"Huh? Is that Sakura Airi?"

As Sakura Airi was taking pictures of herself, a familiar voice suddenly rang out behind her. Hearing the familiar words of the "Great Demon King of Class D," the red-haired beauty was startled and dropped the camera from her hand.

Undoubtedly, if that expensive camera were to fall to the ground like that, it would likely suffer serious damage and become unusable. This is similar to the situation with other expensive and delicate electronic products. Unless it's an exceptional case like the legendary Nokia, any highly sophisticated electronic product can be rendered unusable due to damage to a tiny electronic component. Needless to say, this is even more true for delicate items like cameras. If dropped from a height of more than one meter, it will basically need to be repaired or replaced.

Fortunately, Li Mo prevented this from happening. He reached out and grabbed the camera in a swift and decisive move, preventing it from falling onto the stairwell steps. This made Sakura Airi subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief!

"Thank you, Li Mo. What brings you here?"

When she saw Li Mo smiling as he handed her the camera, Sakura Airi instinctively took it and thanked him. Then, she realized what was happening and took a step back in fear. Her gaze towards Li Mo was filled with surprise and uncertainty. She didn't know why Li Mo would come to this relatively remote place, which was not usually frequented by many people and belonged to the [Advanced Education High School].

This isn't Sakura Airi being paranoid. While she may not usually enjoy interacting with so many people, she's still very vigilant as a young girl. Otherwise, if she were just a naive and innocent girl, her true identity would probably have been revealed by her enthusiastic fans long ago, and who knows what might have happened then!

"Tsk tsk, I've come to see a good show. Suteng Jian said that a few people from Class C have been giving him trouble lately, and now he's caught them red-handed..."

Seeing Sakura Airi's adorable yet highly vigilant demeanor, Li Mo almost couldn't resist teasing her. However, after considering that Sakura Airi's personality was both gentle and firm, he didn't actually do anything inappropriate. Instead, he pointed to the direction outside the stairwell and revealed his important purpose for appearing.

It should be said that Long Yuanxiang is very capable of taking action. His target was indeed as Li Mo expected. He chose Class D, whose grades were similar but slightly better than Class C. His approach was similar to that in the anime "Real Education". He arranged for three boys from Class C to participate in the basketball club activities. These days, he first had a verbal conflict with Su Tengjian, and then he was preparing to play a trick of framing him. Li Mo felt a little bored, but after thinking about it carefully, he knew that given Long Yuanxiang's situation, there was no better way.

To be honest, Advanced Education High School isn't a royal court. Even if it emphasizes competition, it's impossible to resort to poisoning or assassination. Besides, before Ryuen Sho entered Advanced Education High School, he only used the rules to his advantage in junior high school. So, naturally, he can only act in the same way now.

Therefore, Li Mo secretly reminded the students of Class D. When he discovered that some students from Class C were indeed provoking him, Su Teng immediately reported it to his boss. Li Mo was ready to have some fun and make the provoking Class C suffer a great loss!

……

"Hey? Over there, is Sudo-kun with the other students from other classes?"

When Sakura Airi heard Li Mo's words, she was confused and noticed that Li Mo had walked to the end of the stairwell. For some reason, she became curious and decided to follow him. When she took a look, she immediately let out a soft gasp.

The reason is simple. If Sakura Airi were to walk less than fifty meters from the stairwell entrance, she could see the corner of the abandoned building on the other side. There was a platform there with no cover, and she could see Sudo Ken, wearing a basketball uniform, facing three C-class students with unfriendly expressions. A verbal altercation had already broken out between the two sides, and the curses could be faintly heard. Sudo Ken was clearly no match for the three of them, and they were even provoking him from time to time.

At this moment, Sakura Airi truly believed Li Mo's words. The other party was clearly not following her; he had undoubtedly come with Sudo Ken and the others. As for what exactly had happened, Sakura Airi, being one of the less visible members of Class D, really had no idea!

"See that? Sakura-san, Class C is trying to cause us trouble. They want to borrow your camera..."

While Sakura Airi was still speculating, Li Mo coldly watched Sudo Ken, who was arguing with the other party. He had no intention of stepping forward to help, but instead, while talking to Sakura Airi, he borrowed the other party's camera to take pictures.

It should be said that, thanks to the presence of Li Mo, the "Great Demon King," Su Tengjian's performance is much stronger than in the original anime. He has already become a formal player in the basketball club. However, Ryuen Sho from Class C is no pushover either. The three Class C boys assigned to the basketball club are obviously just doing odd jobs, but none of them are physically weak. Judging from their performance, they are probably delinquents who used to hang out in junior high school.

Regardless of their behavior, these delinquents from Japan have some experience in fighting, especially when they have a numerical advantage. Ken Sudo's fighting ability is not enough to handle them. Taking on three people at once is no easy task. Even a normal person would be beaten black and blue in a one-on-one fight. In a no-rule fight like this, where you are unarmed and fighting three people at once, unless you are really strong and ruthless, being surrounded by three people will most likely mean your death.

Suteng Ken clearly lacks talent in combat. Although he plays basketball and is quite good at it, his tall physique only gives him a greater margin for error in a fight. To win a three-on-one fight, the gap between the two sides would have to be too obvious. However, judging from the situation on the platform, the gap between Suteng Ken and his opponents is not large, and it can be said that he is already at a significant disadvantage.

In particular, when Xu Tengjian was provoked by the other party and tried to threaten them with his fists, one of the three students from Class C punched him in the abdomen. Xu Tengjian acted impulsively and ignored Li Mo's previous warning, throwing a punch and was then picked up and ganged up on by the other party!

"Li Mojun, are we really not going to stop them?"

Seeing the three C-class students start beating up Sudo Ken, Sakura Airi couldn't bear to watch and turned to Li Mo, asking him in a low voice.

"No need. Those three guys were very careful. At most, they'd give Sudo Ken a little trouble!"

Faced with Sakura Airi's suggestion, Li Mo shook his head and refused to stop the fight in front of him. He explained that Sudo Ken was actually not seriously injured, but looking at the scene of the fight, a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes, and his tone even made the red-haired beauty beside him feel a little pity for Class C: "On the contrary, I want to proactively expose this evidence to the student council, so that Class C will shoot themselves in the foot..."

Li Mo naturally wouldn't wait for Long Yuanxiang to devise a plan and then sue Xu Tengjian as the plaintiff in the student council, as that would be troublesome. Moreover, Li Mo's own personality is very direct. Since he already had evidence, he didn't mind taking the initiative and directly reported the provocation and fighting behavior of Class C.

Unaware of Li Mo's thoughts, and powerless to stop the fight, Sakura Airi could only watch as Li Mo borrowed her camera. After the fight ended and the other party left, she quickly joined forces with Sudo Kenkai and headed towards the student council!

(Character design of Airi Sakura)

Chapter 22 The Unlucky Class C

Without a doubt, Li Mo, along with Su Tengjian who was in relatively good health, reported the matter to the student council of [Advanced Education High School]. Before Class C could even react, they were met with a direct blow from Li Mo!

While the 【Advanced Education High School】 emphasizes a competitive mechanism among students, it absolutely does not include situations like direct physical fights. The academy simulates a small social circle, where you can use various methods such as exchanging benefits, threats, inducements, or even cooperation and bribery to confront other classes or individual students without any problem. You can even engage in fights or make transactions in private, but you must never do it openly and let others find out.

This is the same approach taken by Japan and even its godfather America. They can do whatever they want in private without any problem. As long as no one knows or it is not made public, it is a reasonable and legal thing. But if it is made public, they have to pretend to handle it in order to save face.

Especially compared to Japan, which values ​​prestigious family backgrounds and conglomerates, Advanced Nurturing High School is much stricter in this regard. If you cause a big problem outside of Japan, you can still get away with it by finding a scapegoat or having a legal team. But at Advanced Nurturing High School, if the evidence is conclusive, you have no room for argument, and you will be punished without question.

Without Li Mo, in the original storyline of the Classroom of the Real, D class almost suffered a major setback in this regard. Sudo Ken was instigated to attack the students of C class. Even though he couldn't beat the three boys from C class, they deliberately inflicted serious injuries on him. In addition, after the villain accused him first, Sudo Ken and Class D faced severe punishment. If they hadn't been lucky and had the protagonist's halo, they would have been in trouble.

Now, Li Mo is following Class C's example of the villain accusing the victim first. He directly obtained the relevant evidence in advance and brought Su Tengjian, who had secretly punched him a few times and had bruises on his body, to the student council to report that the students of Class C had taken the initiative to provoke a fight!

This time, when Class C's homeroom teacher, Kazuma Sakagami, and Sho Ryuen were notified and summoned to the student council for questioning, they were in a particularly bad mood.

As the homeroom teacher of Class C, Kazuma Sakagami was somewhat aware of the matter. After all, Ryuen Sho had consulted him about it. He knew that Ryuen Sho wanted to cause trouble, but he didn't expect that the other party would be caught red-handed and would have no way to explain himself.

You're saying that Kenjiro Sudo made the first move?

However, in the photos taken, the three boys from Class C appeared to be actively provoking trouble, even lifting up Xu Tengjian and beating him. The claim that Xu Tengjian started the fight is untenable and has little credibility with the student council.

You're saying the other person wasn't injured?

Thanks to Li Mo's secret "help," Xu Tengjian had several bruises on his abdomen, which looked exactly like the bruises caused by being beaten. Even a doctor's examination could not find anything wrong with them. For Xu Tengjian, they were just superficial injuries. He could wipe them with alcohol and rub them when he got home, and they would be fine by the next day.

Li Mo had told Su Tengjian about these seemingly frightening injuries beforehand. Having been thoroughly defeated and convinced by the Great Demon King, Su Tengjian naturally obeyed. Besides, these kinds of injuries were not painful at all if one wasn't careful. Su Tengjian didn't worry about any aftereffects either, and even thought that wiping it with alcohol and resting overnight would heal it, so it was really not a big deal.

In today's terms, Sudo Ken's "injuries" completely cemented the guilt of the three boys from Class C. Not only was Class C's homeroom teacher, Sakagami Kazuma, helpless, but even Ryuen Sho had no idea how to clear his name.

It's not that Kazuma Sakagami and Sho Ryuen didn't know they could argue or reconcile, but the problem is that they were reported to the student council, and there were witnesses and physical evidence, so there was really nothing they could do!

Outside of Advanced Nurturing High School, if Kazuma Sakagami and Sho Ryuen were wealthy and powerful, and the victim had no powerful backing, then they could naturally use methods such as reconciliation, or even get the legal team acquitted. However, within Advanced Nurturing High School, the advantage of being in the right is far too obvious.

Of course, the "Advanced Education High School," which claims that you can buy anything with points, can also offset school punishments if you have enough points. However, Kazuma Sakagami and Sho Ryuen looked at each other and knew that the number of points required to offset the punishments was too high.

According to the student council president Horikita Manabu's judgment based on the school's disciplinary regulations, the three boys from Class C provoked and beat up Sudo Ken from Class D. Even if it wasn't the strict assessment mechanism of the first month, the whole incident was still quite serious. Therefore, Class C had to deduct 50 class points from each student, and the three of them would have to deduct 150 class points, plus a half-month suspension and physical labor as punishment.

The severity of this punishment was determined by Horikita Manabu, the student council president, based on school rules. Even Sakagami Kazuma, the homeroom teacher of Class C, couldn't find a reason to object, because it was indeed a school rule and punishment regulation of [Advanced Nurturing High School].

For example, one of the relevant school rules is that if students of [Advanced Education High School] get into fights, they will be punished with anything from deducting class points to suspension or expulsion, depending on the severity of the situation. Although the three students in Class C did cause trouble and even ganged up to beat up Su Tengjian, they did not cause any serious consequences. The punishment of deducting fifty class points from each of them and suspending them for half a month can already be considered a warning.

If Horikita Manabu were ruthless enough to carry out even more severe punishments under the guise of "severe punishment," it would be difficult for others to raise objections. To an uninformed person, the current punishment would actually appear lenient.

In Li Mo's view, he naturally understood that this was Horikita Manabu, one of his future brothers-in-law, offering subtle support and warning. He did not openly help, and the seemingly fair punishment was actually a form of support. Didn't he see the vice president named Nan Yunya on the other side, who was smiling but whose eyes were not at all smiling?

Li Mo could certainly sense that as soon as he entered the student council, he was being coldly observed by Horikita Manabu. Although his close relationship with Horikita Suzune had not been exposed, their usual intimate actions could not be hidden from anyone, let alone Horikita Manabu.

In this regard, Li Mo has great faith in his brother who secretly cares about his sister. If it weren't for his superior concealment skills and the use of the "Seed of the Extraordinary," he would have been able to have close contact with Horikita Suzune under normal circumstances, and Horikita Manabu would have found out very quickly. The fact that he didn't directly warn his sister like he did in the original anime and manga of the same name already shows that he has observed the changes in his sister.

In a sense, Horikita Manabu has a lot of headaches with his younger sister, Horikita Suzune. In the original storyline of the Classroom of the Three Kingdoms anime, he wanted to advise his sister to change her icy personality. Otherwise, given Horikita Suzune's own situation, it would have been no problem for her to be placed in Class A. However, it was because Horikita Suzune didn't like to interact with others and was like a proud and aloof rose admiring its own beauty. Otherwise, with her academic performance and athletic talent, she could have been placed in Class A no matter what.

In this situation, Horikita Manabu, as the older brother, actually bears some responsibility. From childhood, he was regarded as a role model by his younger sister. When he realized that his sister seemed too obsessed with catching up with him and even disdained to engage in interpersonal interactions, he knew that something was wrong and was troubled about how to change the situation. After entering Advanced Nurturing High School, he completely cut off contact with the outside world.

However, after Li Mo appeared, Horikita learned that he had become friends with his sister and had even helped his sister change, gradually developing friendships with other girls and making progress in interpersonal relationships. Horikita saw this as the change brought about by Li Mo, so even though he knew that Li Mo and his sister had a good relationship, he tacitly accepted it.
