I was expelled from school at the beginning, but luckily I am the king of endurance.

"Teacher... Indeed, this is a weapon that only you can wield, but I also know a thing or two about the risks it carries. The more you use it, the more it consumes... Your time, your life, put this card away. You have your own life ahead of you. Why waste it on children who have nothing to do with you?"

"Huh, I'm happy to."

"Why? Why? Why? Why? ...Why?"

After hearing "why" several times in a row, Ya thought it had finally gone crazy. Considering that a madman would do anything, it was not surprising. She raised her submachine gun and aimed at Heifu. As long as it did anything that was detrimental to the two of them, Ya would pull the trigger.

The Story of Abydos: Chapter 30: Be Gentle to Students, Ruthless to Enemies

But Heifu didn't move. He still sat in the boss chair, and the arc-shaped crack that served as his mouth kept revealing his questions.

"Why? Why on earth? Teacher, why are you doing this?"

The teacher, rubbing his fingers over the card, already had the answer in his mind. This was his principle, and the reason he was chosen as the president of the Federation Student Union: "No adult has ever stood up and taken responsibility for those children."

"What do you mean? Are you responsible for them? You are neither their guardian nor their family. You are just an outsider who happened to be called to Abydos and happened to meet them. Why would you go to such lengths for them?"

Listening to Heifu's words, Mei couldn't help but think of the teacher's answer to her when they signed the agreement that day. The teacher couldn't protect all the students, but she was being noticed by the teacher, and the teacher would do his best to protect the students he could see.

"Because this is my responsibility as an adult, and it's also the meaning of my existence as a teacher."

Sure enough, it was another saintly statement. Not to mention Heifu, even Mei couldn't understand the teacher.

"I see... You mean, an adult is someone who bears responsibility, right?

"No, no, no, teacher, you are wrong.

"The so-called adults are those who reshape society according to their own will, formulate laws and rules, and decide what is normal and abnormal, and what is ordinary and extraordinary.

“Use power to control the powerless, use knowledge to control the ignorant, and use strength to control the powerless. That’s what it means to be a great man.

"You don't think this has anything to do with you, do you? You could have been the ruler of Kivotos. The city's immense power and authority, the mysteries that existed within it, all of it, once rested in your hands. And yet you gave it all up without a second thought."

Is this an adult? Listening to Heifu's explanation, Ya's mind was in a mess. Thinking about the chaos in the black market, citizens and gangsters struggling at the bottom, but looking up, they saw a world of paper and gold. This was the order established by Caesar in the black market. Caesar's top management was undoubtedly an adult. It seemed that what Heifu said was right. This was an adult.

But how does the teacher explain it? And what about the citizens of Abydos? They are adults too, but they showed kindness to the children of Abydos. Is the teacher's statement correct?

No, that's not right. Ya shook her head and realized that she had fallen into a misunderstanding. Heifu was talking about adults, and the teacher was also talking about adults. They were both right, but people are complicated. Everyone has a lot of complex social attributes. They cannot be simply distinguished by the two concepts of "adults" and "children".

The sight of the helmeted leader mocking him was still fresh in his mind, and Ya felt like he had truly grasped something this time. The kind-hearted citizens were adults, and the Caesar Group's executives were also adults. The difference between them...

Is it money that makes rich people evil and poor people good?

It doesn't seem so. Ya can cite countless examples to refute this assumption.

The bad girls can rob the citizens of the same lower class without any pressure or numbness, and many of the rich ladies in Trinity are kind-hearted.

It was too complicated, and Ya couldn't figure it out in the end, but what she was sure of was that whether the teacher used responsibility to identify adults, or what Heifu said about mastering power, strength, and knowledge to identify adults, these statements were one-sided.

"I cannot understand why you would choose to give up the highest power in Kivotos. What did you choose for? Power, money, strength, secrets, truth... You gave up everything for this choice! Why!"

Heifu even roared in excitement as he spoke the last part, and Ya thought his mood would never change.

"Are you finished?"

The teacher said this coldly. He and Heifu were completely different kinds of people. He never expected Heifu to understand him.

"Sorry for the loss of composure. You can go save Miss Hoshino now. Our experiment hasn't started yet." Heifu stood up from his chair and straightened his messy tie. "Teacher, the Shumikai will continue to pay attention to you in the future."

Finally glancing at Heifu, Mei couldn't see any expression on its abstract face, and the teacher had no intention of paying attention to it.

[Goodbye, Socialist Black-Braised Egg.]

Thinking silently in her heart, Ya followed the teacher and left the office.

"Teacher, where should we go next?"

Walking out of the office building, Ya asked the teacher, it is unrealistic to rely on their current strength to break into the Caesar base. They need to find reinforcements, but who will help them?

"Well...you guys come with me."

Greeting Kanna who was still on the rooftop, the teacher replied to Mei that he didn't know many people in Kivotos, but there happened to be many people from the three major schools. Today... he would have to lose face.

The transportation in Kivotos is extremely convenient. The crisscrossing railway network covers the entire Kivotos. Except for the Abydos section which has been suspended due to economic problems, theoretically, teachers can take the train to any place on the Kivotos continent.

This was unimaginable in the teacher's original world, but after being here for a month, the teacher has gradually become accustomed to life in Kivotos.

Ticket checking, entering the station, boarding the train, the whole process is similar to what the teacher used to do when taking the subway, except that the coverage and running speed of the subway cannot be compared with Kivotos.

"Next we're going to Gehena, Xiaoya, Huannai, and Yiyi. Shan was once a student of Gehena, right?"

On the train, the teacher asked the two girls that he had not yet fully understood the stories of his students and only knew their hometowns. In fact, after spending a few days with them, the teacher had already roughly figured out their personalities.

Mei likes to think and work seriously, Kanna is taciturn but careful and kind, Eri is enthusiastic and loves money, and Futaba has a bad temper but is unexpectedly gentle. The teacher really doesn't understand why they would run off to become Caesar mercenaries.

"Yes, teacher. Our team is made up of former students of Gehenna."

"Then why did you become Caesar's mercenaries?"

Mei didn't say anything. She was too embarrassed to say that she was deceived by Caesar like a fool and was even thanking others after being sold. Instead, Kanna answered the teacher.

"Because we were deceived by Caesar, the captain fell into the intermediary's trap, I was deceived by participating in the fishing competition, Eri was deceived because she was too stupid, and Futaba...she was caught up in the political struggle between the Gehenna Student Union and the Discipline Committee.

"Teacher, you won't lie to us, right?"

At the end of her words, Kanna looked up at the adult in front of her who was a head taller than her. The emotion conveyed in her eyes made the teacher feel guilty for no reason, as if the agreement he signed with her was a contract to sell his body.

"Of course not."

At least, that's what the teacher promised. He won't cheat his students.

The Story of Abydos: Chapter 31: The Teacher's Story, Is That Perverted?

After getting off the train, the teacher stretched. The train in Kivotos runs very fast. They arrived at Gehenna from Abydos in just one hour.

Looking at the familiar Gehena Central Square in front of her, Ya was filled with emotion. The last time she left here, she was still an inexperienced freshman. Now that she set foot on the land of Gehena again, she was no longer the silly girl she used to be.

The invisible hand of society slapped her hard several times and forced some things into her brain that she had never understood before.

"It's not even been a month, but it feels like years, Kanna?" Mei sighed. Turning back, she saw Kanna staring intently in one direction. She followed her gaze and said, "That's..."

A table, a parasol, a chair, a fishing rod and a poster with photos of the catch.

This is the recruitment booth of the fishing club. Sitting on the chair is a white-haired girl wearing a straw hat. She covers her face with the hat, puts her feet casually on the table, and hugs her chest with her arms. She looks like she is asleep.

People were coming and going around but no one even looked at the stall.

"Is it someone Kanna knows?" Mei guessed, but Kanna just stared at him without taking any further action.

After a while, she withdrew her gaze and said, "Captain, let's go. The teacher has gone far away."

Ya can understand Kanna's feelings. After hanging out outside for a year, she returned to her hometown and met her old acquaintances and friends but didn't dare to approach them. Maybe she felt that she was no longer worthy of being in the same circle with them?

Is it lucky or unfortunate? Mei didn't have the same troubles as Kanna. The person she was most familiar with in Gehenna was the head of the food department. Besides the student she'd come into contact with when paying for meals, the only other person was... the disciplinary committee action captain who had shot her twice.

I was just thinking about her when I happened to meet her. Iori was leading the discipline committee members on routine patrol in the square. The gun in her hand made Mei feel a phantom pain in her chest. The girl didn't have much front armor, but she took the bullet with her ribs.

"What? You want to see the Discipline Committee Chairman? Is the Discipline Committee Chairman of Gehenna someone you can see whenever you want?" As expected, Iori simply rejected the teacher's request to see Hina. However, things did seem to be on the mend. Iori changed the subject and said, "Heh, how about this, if you kneel down and lick my feet, maybe..."

Mei saw Iori close her eyes in triumph. It looked like she was planning to publicly humiliate the teacher. No one would accept such humiliating conditions, would they? Mei had even thought of how to comfort the teacher afterwards, but then her eyes widened in disbelief.

“Ahh?!”

Iori let out a cry, and the adult in front of her, who had always been serious, actually pounced on the ground, hugged her calves and started licking them.

"Huan, Huannai, pinch me, I'm not dreaming, is this the teacher?" Ya pointed at the teacher's hand with some trembling, she seemed to see not the reliable adult who lived with them day and night, but an abstract Wangzai.

Kanna took a step away from the teacher without leaving a trace. She didn't understand, but she respected everyone's quirks.

"I, I haven't even finished speaking... and you... uh... hey..." The girl's blushing spoke louder than any words could say. Don't get me wrong, she was genuinely shy this time. Not everyone can do strange things in public without any pressure like the teacher. "As an adult, don't you have the slightest hesitation and so-called self-respect?!"

The teacher hesitated for a moment, then his abstract thinking took over: "Originally, there was... but who can resist the temptation of chocolate ice cream?"

"You're so weird! Perverted! Twisted! A perverted adult like you should... "

Mei didn't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to see a hint of...enjoyment in Iori's expression. However, she didn't have time to observe any further. The next person to arrive at the scene was the head of the Discipline Committee, Hinata, who had discovered the commotion in the square!

"You guys seem pretty happy?" Hina's voice reached the ears of everyone present, and Iori was even more startled.

"Yes, President...?"

Hinata walked slowly from the other side of the square. Due to her height, she could not see clearly what the teacher was doing.

"I've seen many people kneeling and begging for their own sake, but this is the first time I've seen a teacher kneeling for a student." Ignoring the nervous expressions of everyone present, Hinai, who had already read the intelligence department's report and knew what had happened in Abydos, didn't dislike the man in front of her who she believed was kneeling for his students. "Look up, teacher. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Seeing that Hina seemed to have misunderstood something, Iori, who was frozen in place, pointed at the teacher who was still holding her calf: "No, President... The teacher is not kneeling, he is..."

After hesitating for a moment, Iori decided to go for it: "Lick, lick... my feet..."

It's so rare, Ya sighed, she could actually see the legendary cold-blooded and ruthless discipline committee chairman showing a shy and surprised expression in her lifetime.

Perhaps this is the custom of adapting to local customs. The originally serious teacher also became this abstract after entering Gehenna.

Fortunately, this incident did not affect Hina's agreement to help the teacher. Perhaps Hina wanted to apologize to Xia Lai to gain his favor, or perhaps the teacher was a succubus who bewitched Hina? The exact reasoning behind this is unknown.

At this time, the Holy Trinity...

Next to the garden-like square, there stands a gorgeous English-style building. The huge balcony on the second floor overlooks the entire square. This is where the tea party is held.

The tea party is dominated by three factions: the Patels, the Filius and the Sancutes, and representatives from the three factions take turns hosting it every quarter.

The host of this season is Nagisa Kirito from Filius.

The girl with long flaxen blonde hair was sitting elegantly on a tea party chair, brewing black tea. Behind her, she had a pair of white wings like Xiaokong, but her wings were much larger than Xiaokong's. If the teacher saw her, he would definitely call her an angel.

"I see. Thank you for your explanation... I understand what Ms. Hifumi said." Nagisa put down her teacup and clasped her hands together. "If what that teacher said is true, then we really can't just sit back and watch...

"Although we will soon be signing the treaty, we shouldn't act rashly. However, Caesar PMC will undoubtedly have a negative impact on our people.

"In view of this...we can make a slight exception this time."

That day, Fumi reported the Abydos incident to the tea party. Although Hoshino said a lot of things that she didn't quite understand, the host of the tea party in front of her didn't seem as heartless as Hoshino said?

"Thank you, thank you, Master Nagisa..."

Regardless, it's great to be able to help Abydos this time.

The Story of Abydos: Chapter 32: Many Aids

Zhu, who was sitting by the tea table, picked up the brewed teacup and took a sip. It tasted slightly bitter at first, but then turned sweet. It was high-quality tea. You can order more of this brand of tea as a backup.

"Hmm... I remember the towed artillery squad is having field training today, right?" Nagisa took the documents next to the tea table and casually added a few itineraries for the artillery squad. "The weather is so nice, and it's a rare opportunity to go out, so let's just treat it as a picnic."

Hifumi was shocked. Towed artillery squad, if she remembered correctly, should be the heavy fire support directly under the tea party, the L118 artillery squad equipped with all L118 towed light howitzers, right?

This important firepower was used by Nagisa to support Abydos. It seems that Nagisa really cares about Xia Lai.

"Since it's a request from the excellent Miss Hifumi, it's only natural to show some sincerity, right? Love is a cyclical interaction. I'm looking forward to the day when Miss Hifumi returns her love to me, hehe." Nagisa emphasized the word "return", but Hifumi didn't notice. "And it would be best if... no, we must make Xia Lai's teacher owe us a favor..."

After giving these instructions, Nagisa watched Hifumi leave the tea party with the order she signed. After confirming that there was no one else around, she put down her teacup.

The pen in her hand hung in mid-air, and after hesitating for a moment, she finally wrote down Hifumi's name on a form.

[Hmm... a weird bank robbery gang?]

"Dang Dang Dang."

Eri helped General Shiba nail the last wooden board of the ramen stall. Of course, this was not Eri's voluntary help to General Shiba repair the ramen shop, but General Shiba got some money from somewhere and hired Eri to help.

According to General Chai, it happened when he returned to the ruins of the ramen restaurant to check the situation after being discharged from the hospital. Someone left a large sum of money at the door of his shop, which not only enabled him to clean up the ruins of the ramen restaurant, but also gave him the capital to make a comeback.

Who suddenly left a sum of money at the door of Chai Dajiang's store? It's so hard to guess.

Eri glanced at the four people from the convenience store who were already sitting at the stall. It seemed that there was no one else there except them.

"Wow, this stall looks pretty cool!" Mutsuki smiled and waved at General Shiba. "Master, we're back for ramen again."

General Chai was in a very good mood. He didn't care about what happened last time. As long as everyone knew it, it would be bad to say it out loud. He was also clear about the situation in Abydos. These children in front of him were not bad people by nature.

"Here, four bowls of Shibaguan Ramen for 10 yuan."

General Chai held up two trays and placed them on a simple small table. Each bowl of ramen was so full that it seemed like it was about to overflow.

"Is this amount...a mistake?"

"Oh, Kayoko, isn't this delicious?" Mutsuki naturally picked up the chopsticks and picked up a handful of noodles, putting it into his mouth. The unique chewy texture of ramen and the rich aroma of the tonkotsu broth met in his mouth. General Shiba's ramen was indeed the top brand of Abydos. "Eat well, we still have to set off."

But Kayoko still had doubts in her heart: "President, are we really going? This battle has no benefit for us. Going to fight PMC without any fee..."

"Hmph~ Section Chief Kayoko, this bowl of ramen is enough for the commission fee." Alu interrupted Kayoko. She sat on a small stool and savored the ramen in front of her.

"I understand, Master Aru! No need to say more. Just to protect this bowl of ramen, you resolutely rush to hell! That's ruthlessness! I, I will also do my best to become a true outlaw! Kill all the enemies!"
