I simultaneously traverse countless worlds

Li Mo was confident he could elevate Class D to Class A, but how many of the mediocre students in Class D could reach the overall level of Class A students? Not to mention, if they graduated from Class A and chose their own jobs, would they be capable of doing their jobs well?

Not to mention Li Mo's skepticism, even Chabashira Sae, the beautiful teacher with a crazy obsession about Class D being promoted to Class A, had to admit, after absorbing the [Seed of the Extraordinary] and examining Class D's situation, that given Class D's overall quality, it would be impossible for them to be promoted to Class A unless a miracle occurred. After graduating as members of Class A, even if those mediocre students from Class D got their desired jobs, they would find it difficult to keep them.

Unless one is a zaibatsu heir like Koenji Rokusuke, or a descendant of a wealthy and powerful family, it is extremely difficult for an average person to do a good job or achieve success in a demanding job or profession.

Chabashira Sae graduated from Advanced Nurturing High School. Unlike the graduates of Class A, she couldn't choose her preferred industry or university. She entered a university entirely based on her grades. After graduation, she chose to return to Advanced Nurturing High School to teach, demonstrating her excellent abilities and level.

Other graduates would be subject to rigorous screening if they wanted to teach at [Advanced Education High School]. It's not a place where just anyone can get in.

Similarly, while the A-class graduates of [Advanced Education High School] seem to have the freedom to choose good universities, large companies, or even government departments to work, whether they can graduate with excellent grades from those good universities, or meet the standards of working in large companies, or even whether they can perform their duties as civil servants in government departments, are all issues worth studying. On the other hand, the mediocre students in the D-class basically have no chance.

This is not meant to belittle the students in Class D, but it is an undeniable fact. Even with Li Mo's high-pressure encouragement, it's hard to say whether they can catch up with the overall quality of the students in Class A. Expecting them to take on the job skills chosen by the graduates of Class A is indeed overestimating their abilities.

Having figured out this crucial issue, Chabashira Sae is no longer so fixated on Class D being promoted to Class A. At most, she would prefer Li Mo to lead Class D to defeat Class A once and take the title of Class A. As for what happens afterward, she'll leave it to fate.

Li Mo has no intention of using this midterm exam for anything. He knows from Chashu Sae and other sources that this is not a competitive assessment.

In other words, even if Li Mo were to do something underhanded, the other three classes wouldn't suffer any losses. At most, they would just get a few fewer class points. Unfortunately, the highest bonus for this midterm exam is only the maximum reward of one hundred class points.

Li Mo told Hirata Yosuke, Horikita Suzune, and Kushida Kikyo of Class D about this news. They were very relieved. Class D still had more than 500 class points, so there was no need to worry too much. Even if Class D did not gain any class points, Class A, Class B, and Class C would not have much of an advantage.

Similarly, Hirata Yosuke, Horikita Suzune, and several other leaders of Class D were truly heartbroken that Class D had lost over 400 class points during the month of new student enrollment. Just those 400+ wasted class points would require achieving the highest grades in several midterm exams to possibly earn them back. Moreover, these class points all came from the 1,000 class points that [Advanced Education High School] prepared for each class at the beginning of the school year.

Hirata Yosuke and the others were unaware that if Li Mo hadn't intervened in time and restrained the bunch of scum in Class D, all of Class D's 1,000 class points would have been deducted, resulting in this year's Class D gaining a huge reputation—all negative ones. Since the establishment of [Advanced Education High School], this was the first time that all 1,000 class points had been deducted during the first freshman assessment, making it an unprecedented negative example!

Before changing the situation of Class D, Li Mo predicted that if Class D were to fail miserably as in the original story, that would be the key reason why Horikita Manabu warned his beloved younger sister. Later, he even became a tool for Ayanokoji Kiyotaka to push him to the front.

However, Li Mo's appearance has completely ruined the original plot of the Class 101 manga. The current situation of Class D is much better than the original plot.

As the leader and boss of Class D, Li Mo was well aware of the situation regarding the midterm exams. He knew it was a show of force from the school, saying that failing the exams would result in expulsion, but in reality, students could rely on gathering information and buying answers.

In addition, if you are in Class A or Class B, passing the exam based on your own academic ability is also a skill, and the school does not force you to use only one method to pass.

Li Mo had no intention of personally taking charge of this midterm exam. Instead, he entrusted it to Horikita Suzune and Hirata Yosuke, among others. After all, he wanted Horikita Suzune to get more experience, not for him to exhaust himself to the point of dying like Zhuge Liang.

Moreover, there are Hirata Yosuke, Kushida Kikyo, and Karuizawa Kei. The former is regarded by Li Mo as the best tool for Class D. Anyway, Hirata Yosuke himself is very willing to contribute to the class, and he has outstanding grades and excellent physical qualities. He has already become a formal member of the school's soccer club, so he naturally has the means to inquire about information from the senior students and carefully explore the assessment standards and requirements for passing the midterm exam.

The beautiful girls, such as Horikita Suzune, Kushida Kikyo, and Karuizawa Megumi, began to utilize their networks of relationships with other girls. For example, getting information from girls they knew in the second or even third year was an easy task for Kushida Kikyo and Karuizawa Megumi, while Horikita Suzune was able to screen the information and find out the important details.

You mean Kiyotaka Ayanokoji?

The male protagonist of the original Classroom of the Real Life anime doesn't have a high presence in Class D at this time. He just shows a slightly above-average level of academic ability. Being with Yukimura Teruhiko, a top student with excellent grades, is much better than being one of the three idiots in the original work.

Naturally, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji lived the ordinary life he wanted. Important matters such as the midterm exams, which concerned all members of Class D, were naturally not something he, an "ordinary Class D student," would get involved in. Whether it was Hirata Yosuke, the best tool, or the beautiful girls like Horikita Suzune, they all quickly obtained the exam papers and corresponding answers for each subject of the first-year midterm exams through their own channels.

The reason is very simple: the exam papers and answers for the first-year midterms at [Advanced Education High School] have remained largely unchanged. At least for the past few years, every new student at [Advanced Education High School] has faced the same exam papers and answers for their first semester's midterms. Students with outstanding observation and information gathering abilities can quickly purchase the accurate answers by spending personal points.

Horikita Suzune and Hirata Yosuke, among others, even spent tens of thousands of personal points to obtain several sets of exam papers and standard answers for each subject from the second and third-year students. Only after comparing and confirming that they were correct did they organize the students in Class D to start rote memorization. As for Classes A, B, and C, Li Mo did not interfere as much, allowing the leaders of the three classes to use their own methods, either to prepare for the exam or to try to obtain exam papers and answers.

As a result, in the first-year midterm exam, Class D passed without any suspense and successfully obtained 100 class points. Class A and Class B also received the highest reward. What surprised Li Mo a little was that Class C also obtained the full reward by getting the answers this time. Long Yuanxiang's prestige has been restored.

After successfully passing the midterm exams, all the students in Class D soon received good news: they and the other three classes in the first grade were about to embark on a summer school trip, which would be a cruise to an island resort!

Chapter 31 The Start of the Deserted Island Vacation!

"Wow, it really is the ocean! This is amazing!!!"

When the four first-grade classes boarded the luxury cruise ship from the school's artificial island pier, looking at the boundless blue sea before him, Ike Kanji raised his hands and let out a high-pitched shout like a gorilla.

As an island nation that is not very large, Japan is entirely situated in the sea. In the past, there were Japanese people who lived deep in the mountains and had never seen the sea. But now, if there is any Japanese teenager who would get excited about seeing the sea, then he must be a fake Japanese.

Normally, someone like Ike Kanji would be scolded by those around him for being too noisy, but today was clearly an exception; surprisingly, no one interrupted his flamboyant performance.

Even though many students had seen the sea and experienced the beauty of beaches and oceans, almost everyone was captivated by this moment, or more accurately, by the super luxury cruise ship they were standing on.

This is a super luxury cruise ship, large enough to accommodate thousands of guests to enjoy themselves. The deck area even has a view of a spacious swimming pool. The decoration is high-end and elegant. The tour attendant even mentioned that the luxury cruise ship also has dedicated entertainment areas such as a cinema and an opera house. As for dining, it includes major cuisines from all over the world. There is a dedicated team of chefs on standby in the restaurant 24 hours a day, or you can make an order by phone and have the waiter deliver it to your cabin.

It's no exaggeration to say that this was a privileged service they had only ever seen in movies and anime, a service they had always thought was accessible only to the very top of high society. Now, it was right in front of them.

Therefore, Ike Kanji's exaggerated performance really represents the thoughts of many students from ordinary families. It's just that they are more tolerant and don't directly embarrass themselves.

"That's really extravagant!"

“What a beautiful view!”

"It's so wonderful to be able to study at this school!"...

On the deck of the luxury cruise ship, the students from the four first-year classes, including Class A and Class B, gazed at the lavishly decorated ship. Many of them murmured their admiration. They had only ever seen such luxury cruise ships on television or in anime before, and never even dreamed of ever having the chance to experience one.

Everyone was now standing on this large luxury cruise ship, enjoying a summer vacation study trip at sea. Just thinking about being able to enjoy such a high-end lifestyle, which was impossible for anyone but the upper class, was enough to excite them. Even the students in Class A, who were considered to have the highest overall quality, looked around and even made some soft exclamations of admiration.

To be fair, the students in Class A have good grades and are quite outstanding, but not many of them are capable of remaining calm even when faced with a collapsing mountain. Moreover, most students in other classes are like that, so no one is asking everyone to be serious.

To be honest, not many people can remain unmoved by the current situation. Among the 160 first-year students, probably less than ten people can maintain their composure while looking at the luxury cruise ship. And those who are truly indifferent are probably only a few.

For example, Sakayanagi Arisu from Class A and Koenji Rokusuke from Class D. The former is the only daughter of Sakayanagi's chairman, and her family is so privileged that even this luxury cruise ship belongs to her family, but it is only for the needs of the [Advanced Nurturing High School].

Koenji Rokusuke, needless to say, as the heir to the Koenji Zaibatsu, owns more than a dozen luxury yachts and several private jets. He also has a large luxury cruise ship of similar size to this one, which is used by the Koenji Zaibatsu for their own enjoyment or as a vehicle for inviting other guests on sea trips. Having seen and experienced much since childhood, he didn't care about such a trivial matter at all.

Then there's Ayanokouji Kiyotaka. He seems surprised by the luxury cruise ship, but his eyes don't show any change at all. As a robot with no emotions, he hasn't learned normal human emotions yet. So, he's just pretending to be surprised by the luxury cruise ship that is unattainable for ordinary people.

As for Li Mo himself, he was naturally not surprised by the sight of a luxury cruise ship. He had now merged with the memories of multiple Li Mos, and there were very few things in the Practical Education World that could surprise him. Taking a luxury cruise ship for a school trip was definitely not within his scope. He was even too lazy to put on an act, since there were more than one or two people trying to remain calm.

Therefore, Li Mo and the others boarded the luxury cruise ship. After the teachers, including Chazuki Sae, came aboard, they counted the number of people and confirmed that there were no mistakes. Then, they followed the staff to find their own cabins, or single cabins for each person to stay in!

……

Waaaaaah!

Once Li Mo and his group confirmed their numbers, assigned rooms, and put away their personal luggage, the luxury cruise ship sounded a low whistle and, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor, slowly sailed away from the school's artificial island port.

By this time, the first-year students had already put their luggage away. No one wanted to stay in their own cabin, even though each cabin was a private one, which was much better than the rooms rented by many white-collar workers in Tokyo. However, the excitement of boarding a large luxury cruise ship for the first time made them all run to the deck and watch the luxury cruise ship leave the artificial island and sail from Tokyo Bay into the open sea.

As the slightly salty sea breeze blew in, many students couldn't help but squint, gazing at the azure sea and sky and then at the gradually shrinking Tokyo Bay behind them. It was as if a strange sense of awe arose in them. The feeling of being in a dream made many of them hesitate for a moment before they realized that they were really on this luxury cruise ship, and that they were really embarking on their summer school trip. They couldn't help but look forward to their upcoming school trip.

However, Li Mo and a few others knew that the first-year students were getting excited too soon. If it were second-year students or those smarter ones, they would understand that the school trip at [Advanced Education High School] definitely did not include letting them have a good vacation and relax. The luxury cruise ship and free experience were just carrots dangling in front of them to prevent them from easily giving up the summer assessment projects that were about to take place.

However, the first-year students are very happy now. Some of them are standing on the bow deck looking out at the sea, while others are ready to tour this luxury cruise ship and experience a luxurious life they have never experienced before.

"What a luxurious lifestyle!"

Looking at the restaurant, decorated like a palace, open for dinner as a buffet, with a dazzling array of delicious dishes, juices, and drinks available for everyone to help themselves, Karuizawa Kei took some of her favorite dishes and couldn't help but whisper.

As a disguised gyaru (a Japanese term for a girl who is outwardly attractive but inwardly glamorous), Karuizawa Megumi's family background isn't particularly good; at best, it's a typical upper-middle-class family in Tokyo. Otherwise, she wouldn't have experienced school bullying and almost faced life-threatening situations, ultimately failing to get a satisfactory resolution from the school. However, after entering [Advanced Nurturing High School], she immediately felt the school's extravagance. The monthly distribution of individual points based on class points alone is something that ordinary schools can't compare to.

Now, [Advanced Education High School] has brought out a large luxury cruise ship and is taking first-year students on a free summer school trip. In Karuizawa Kei's eyes, this generosity has truly refreshed her worldview once again.

"It should be said that this is the daily life of the luxurious upper class!"

Beside Karuizawa Kei, Horikita Suzune, who had just picked up a glass of juice, pursed her lips, gazing at the high-end seafood, Wagyu beef steak, and other delicacies made with premium ingredients laid out before her. After replying to Karuizawa Kei's words, she subconsciously turned her head towards the interior of the ship and cast a glance: "However, that guy Sumi seems quite used to this kind of life. He even took advantage of this time to go and flirt with other people. It's really infuriating..."

Following Horikita Suzune's gaze, Karuizawa Megumi and the following Kushida Kikyo and Sakura Airi all saw Li Mo wandering around the restaurant, chatting and laughing with pretty girls. He was taking advantage of this time to chat with Sakayanagi Arisu, Ichinose Honami, and Shiina Hiyori. Even if someone saw him, they wouldn't think much of it.

The reason is very simple. Li Mo seems to take the initiative to talk to any beautiful girl he sees, such as Shiina Hiyori, or even pretend to be cold and sarcastic. He just moves on to the next beautiful girl without getting angry. The students around him are envious, but at most they are jealous in their hearts. The reason is that everyone knows that with their own looks and abilities, it is impossible for them to do such a thing. If he can do it, it is his own ability.

Similarly, Rokusuke Koenji from Class D also has a playboy-like style. He used to go shopping with many upperclassmen, but he was backed by the Koenji Foundation and was also a handsome blond guy, which made others feel helpless. They didn't even know where to begin to be jealous, since competing in terms of reincarnation is a skill that is beyond the reach of humans.

Of course, Li Mo's actions made many boys envious, but they also showed Horikita Suzune and the others his playboy ways. Even though they knew that Li Mo was greeting other girls, Horikita Suzune and the others still felt a little jealous.

"Hehe, Mo, it looks like your backyard is on fire~!"

While talking to Li Mo, Sakayanagi Arisu, who seemed to be being polite but was actually flirting, keenly noticed Horikita Suzune and the others' gazes. Then, in a soft whisper that no one else could hear, she deliberately teased her man.

"Tsk, I don't think it will catch fire. Even if it does, it will be put out!"

When Sakayanagi Arisu teased him, Li Mo pretended to be a little angry. As he turned to leave, his eyes swept over the several beautiful girls, and his tone was very firm.

"Wait a minute, come to my room. I have something important to tell you. It concerns Ayanokouji Kiyotaka from your Class D!"

Hearing her man's firm words, Sakayanagi Arisu smiled slightly, which seemed to others as a silent rejection of the playboy's harassment. However, the soft voice she uttered was completely inaudible to everyone except Li Mo, who was only a few meters away.

"Understood, see you later!"

By this time, Li Mo had already reacted. His expression remained completely unchanged. He raised his drink to another beautiful girl not far away and then walked away leisurely. Hearing her man's reply, Sakayanagi Arisu, who had recovered and come along with him, smiled slightly. She then beckoned her follower, Kamuro Makoto, to come and talk to her.

As for the others, apart from Horikita Suzune and the others who vaguely sensed that something was wrong, including the students in Class D of the first year, they didn't know that Li Mo and Sakayanagi Arisu were secretly discussing something. At most, they thought that Li Mo was trying to chat up a pretty girl and was rejected!

……

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the luxury cruise ship slowed down. Combined with the stability provided by its massive size, the passengers felt as if they were on land, and even when they went to rest at night, they did not feel any discomfort.

On the other side, some students who had finished their lavish dinner began to stroll around the luxury cruise ship, experiencing the luxurious life that only the upper class could enjoy. Others had already returned to their cabins. Looking at the single cabins, which were even more luxurious than the dormitories at Advanced Nurturing High School, many students sighed inwardly and felt a greater sense of disparity.

It's important to know that many boarding high school dormitories in Tokyo are single or double rooms with only basic facilities such as bookshelves and beds. Bathrooms, dining rooms, and toilets are shared. Even most working professionals in Tokyo, unless they are married and have to take out a mortgage to buy a house or have a family home, live in apartments of only ten to twenty square meters. For those who are short of money and cannot afford more expensive rental apartments, the conditions in their cheap rental apartments are far worse than those in high school dormitories.

In comparison, the private dormitories provided to each student at [Advanced Educational High School] are considered to be above average rental housing in Tokyo. Not only are they fully equipped with utilities and internet, but they also have separate bathrooms and kitchens. It would not be an exaggeration to call them luxurious private rooms, which has already left many students speechless.

Compared to this luxury cruise ship, the individual dormitories provided to students at [Advanced Education High School] pale in comparison. The space of over fifty square meters and the room design alone make one feel as if they are staying in a star-rated hotel rather than a cruise ship.

When they boarded the luxury cruise ship, most of the students were amazed. When they had time to take a closer look, they found that their rooms were not only exceptionally well-decorated with excellent lighting, but also furnished with solid wood furniture and luxurious decorations. They even had telephones that allowed them to call for a waiter at any time. They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that such a luxurious cruise ship accommodation was worth more than their own homes.

In particular, the room Li Mo is currently in is a single room with extremely luxurious decorations. It has a mini version of the Roman baths with a soaking tub, and the windows are semi-floor-to-ceiling windows that can be opened and closed. A soft and elastic full-size bed that looks like it will make you sleep soundly is placed in the center of the bedroom. Even the quilt on the bed is a silk quilt, and the decorations are all valuable antiques. This luxury cabin is more than 200 square meters in size, which would be considered a very luxurious room on a luxury cruise ship.

Of course, the room where Li Mo was staying was also extraordinary. It was the exclusive room of the chairman of the board of directors of [Advanced Education High School]. However, it was temporarily owned by Sakayanagi Arisu because she was his only daughter. It was as if his daughter had miraculously recovered to normal. Even if Chairman Sakayanagi did not want his daughter to participate in the artificial island wilderness survival assessment, it was no problem for his daughter to participate in the school trip.

As for Sakayanagi Arisu using her father's private room, in reality, Sakayanagi's chairman would not see the luxury cruise ship for several months at a time. It was cleaned and maintained by dedicated staff, and things like the sheets and duvet covers were all brand new and unused.

Or rather, from the perspective of wealthy people, it is perfectly normal to throw away clothes after wearing them once, and the same goes for items such as duvet covers and sheets, which they will discard and choose new ones no matter how expensive they are.

"Arisu, can you tell me what it is?"

Upon entering, Li Mo engaged in some intimate moments with the silver-haired beauty, Sakayanagi Arisu, and led her into the Roman-style bathhouse. He enjoyed the wonderful feeling of the beautiful girl sitting on his lap and asked her in a low voice while reveling in the experience.

"Hmm... As for Kiyotaka Ayanokouji... his father is a former prime minister..."

As Li Mo unconsciously made certain movements, Sakayanagi Arisu couldn't help but let out exceptionally beautiful sounds. She was now limply nestled in Li Mo's arms, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of allure. After a few breaths, she whispered to her man, "Father told me that guy is very decisive and ruthless. This time, he wanted to directly get the school to expel Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, but Father stopped him. He might take other measures, so you have to be careful!"

In the original storyline of the manga/anime, Arisu Sakayanagi's feelings for Kiyotaka Ayanokouji are quite special. The reason is that she saw Kiyotaka Ayanokouji in the "White Room," an artificial genius training institution, when she was a child and had a deep impression of him.

As for Chairman Sakayanagi, his refusal of Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's father's request was not necessarily out of concern for Ayanokouji Kiyotaka. Rather, as the chairman of Advanced Education High School, if he were to casually agree to someone's request and break the school's rules, in the eyes of other conglomerates or even the Japanese government, he might no longer be considered capable of managing Advanced Education High School, which would be a more troublesome matter.

—Don't be fooled by the fact that Kiyotaka Ayanokouji's father was the former prime minister of Japan and has already stepped down. In reality, the position of the most powerful figure in Japan is not one that just anyone can attain. In Japan, where feudal remnants have not been completely eradicated, those who become ministers are either from prominent families or have exceptional abilities and have married into prestigious families. Ordinary people would definitely have no chance of getting into this position. Kiyotaka Ayanokouji's father can be said to still be very influential in Japan.

If it were an ordinary high school or even a private high school, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji's father could easily arrest him and bring him back. However, the background of Advanced Nurturing High School is the Japanese government and major financial groups, so he cannot directly intervene. If Chairman Sakayanagi does not agree, it will be difficult for him to directly take action against Kiyotaka Ayanokouji. It is precisely because he knows the background of Advanced Nurturing High School that Kiyotaka Ayanokouji fled here to prepare to become an ordinary high school student.

Upon hearing the details from Sakayanagi Arisu, a smile appeared on Li Mo's lips. He gently embraced the petite beauty in his arms, allowing her to feel each other's heartbeats more directly. His tone carried a hint of indifference as he spoke:

"I see. But it's no problem. That guy won't be able to cause trouble for long. He can't possibly have any more impact on [Advanced Education High School]!"

Chapter 32 Leisure and Decision
