The End of Ten Days: When Qi Xia Enters the Tales of Rules

A school covered with teachers' slogans seemed somewhat unusual.

Just now.

A portly middle-aged man walked towards them from a distance.

He was wearing an old suit and walked slowly.

Her hair was very thin, and she looked a bit overweight.

I could hear his voice from afar: "You've finally arrived!"

Everyone was on high alert, watching the middle-aged man in front of them warily.

The middle-aged man waved to the students taking the exam and said, "Don't be nervous, everyone. I am the principal of this school."

The test takers remained hidden behind Aries, unmoved.

"Look how nervous you all are," the middle-aged man said with a smile. "On behalf of the school, I sincerely welcome you all to our Ginkgo High School..."

No one paid him any attention. In the world of ghost stories, it's best to say as little as possible. Everyone knew what was going on.

The middle-aged man didn't seem to mind and said with a smile, "The weather is really nice today. It's a good day for everyone to come to our school. Come on, let me show you around."

Nice weather my foot!

The weather in the ghost story world is always the same, gloomy and dark, what's so good about it?

When they heard that the middle-aged man was going to take them for a walk around the campus, everyone stood still and didn't want to go with him.

The middle-aged man added, "It seems we've saved ourselves the trouble of getting familiar with the campus, which is a good thing. I'm slow, so it's better that you don't go, saving me the trouble of getting tired."

It seems this guy is still a cheerful and optimistic person. Even though everyone is ignoring him, he still happily makes excuses for himself.

He glanced around and asked, "Is everyone here?"

As he spoke, he began counting the number of people on his fingers.

"One, two, three, four, five..."

"Huh? How come there are 52 of you? There are two more than that?"

Guo Jing stepped forward and asked, "Is it my fault?"

He and Aries were not candidates in the first place.

Aries belongs to the "warrior" category, and he has long since passed the legal age.

Because Lin Yi possesses a token, the copy will recognize him as a candidate.

At this point, Aries spoke up: "Will it have any impact?"

The middle-aged man hurriedly waved his hand cheerfully: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Everyone who comes to our Ginkgo High School is our most distinguished guest..."

Seeing Guo Jing talking to Aries, the middle-aged man was overjoyed.

"Our Ginkgo High School is considered a top-tier school here. Whether it's the teaching staff or the students' academic performance, it's among the best..."

He started rambling on about school again.

The students were getting drowsy, and they remembered the scene of the principal talking on the podium during their morning exercises.

However, despite the hypnosis, they dared not actually fall asleep.

This is a world of supernatural tales, and the middle-aged man's words may very well be the key to breaking the deadlock.

however.

The middle-aged man talked on and on like he was eating roasted beans, but they still didn't extract any useful information.

"Alright, that concludes the school introductions. Now it's time to make your choice."

Hearing the middle-aged man say this, everyone perked up, realizing that what he was about to say was the key point.

The middle-aged man coughed and said, "Now you must make your decision: choose to be a teacher or a student?"

Can I also choose my identity?

Upon hearing this, everyone started discussing it.

"Choose students; if you choose teachers, you might end up teaching the supernatural."

"That's right, students. What if we're sent to teach those weirdos and our knowledge isn't up to par, and they try to make things difficult for us?"

"I also think being a student is good. After all, we're used to being students in school, so we know what students should and shouldn't do."

A discordant voice said, "Why don't you just choose a teacher? Those credits give me a headache. I failed my last final exam."

"I also think teachers are good. What if we students were forced to learn some weird language? Wouldn't we be doomed?"

"Uh... what is 'weiqi yu'? Would learning it give me another way to make a living?"

"No, buddy. I was just using an example. Does it really have to be this intense? Who can outdo you at work every day?"

……

After some discussion, most candidates thought being a student was better, while a few thought being a teacher was easier.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Have you thought it through and decided what to choose?"

Lin Yi pondered for a moment, but he couldn't decide which identity was better.

Guo Jing kept thinking, "Besides teacher and student, is there a third identity I can choose, like principal...?"

One of the test-takers asked Aries, "Qi Xia, what identity do you think we should choose?"

Aries said, "Just do what interests you."

Since Qi Xia has said so, they are ready to do as they please.

One candidate suggested, "Why don't we all agree to the same identity? That would make things easier."

Another candidate chimed in, "I agree. If everyone has the same identity, it can indirectly prevent infighting. For example, if a student in a dungeon tries to kill a teacher, and the teacher tries to kill a student, this would prevent fratricide..."

It has to be said that there is strength in numbers; many overlooked details were brought to light through their discussion.

One candidate suggested, "How about this, let's have a vote by raising hands. Those who agree to choose student status, please raise your hands."

soon.

More than half of the people raised their hands.

At least 70% of respondents supported selecting students.

Less than 20% of respondents supported choosing the profession of teacher.

A small number of people also chose to abstain.

It must be said that voting by raising hands is a good option everywhere.

It can effectively reach a consensus.

Seeing everyone discussing so enthusiastically, the middle-aged man chuckled to himself, seemingly quite pleased with the atmosphere.

"Have you made your choice?" the middle-aged man asked again.

One of the candidates stepped forward: "We've made our decision, we choose..."

"etc!"

Before he could finish speaking, Aries covered his mouth.

"Well……"

The man's words were stuck in his throat.

She could even smell a faint sheepy odor on Aries.

Aries chimed in, "We choose the profession of teacher."

Huh? Why?

Everyone looked completely bewildered.

Didn't we just agree that we'd come based on our interests?

Why did you suddenly change your mind?

Aries said, "It was my oversight. I thought it was a multiple-choice question, but it turned out to be a true/false question."

"What do you mean? Is there some kind of trap?"

Aries said, "Everyone, look at these signs. They all say 'Teacher's Code of Conduct.' They're clearly meant for us. If you choose the wrong one, you could be eliminated immediately."

What... this...?

That's it!

After hearing Aries' explanation, everyone suddenly understood.

But this old Deng is really good at digging his own grave, isn't he?

He smiled and let everyone make a choice the whole time, but it turned out to be a true/false question!

I almost fell for his trick!
