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

Eri came closer again and saw that although the girl was trembling all over, she had at least completed the application form.

"Ahem, don't be afraid, Anna-san. Our Spartacus Club is a completely legitimate club and is definitely reliable!

"My name is Takeda Eri, and this fierce-looking older sister is Futaba Hikawa. Welcome to join the Spartacus Group."

Looking at these two tall people relative to herself, Anna felt like she was on a pirate ship.

Between Progress and Reaction: Chapter 6: The Difficulties of Beginning

"I hope that when I ask you how your work is and whether you are tired, you can answer me honestly instead of yelling 'how the hell did you get in here'."

In a secluded corner, Xiaoya was mumbling strange things, causing Kanna beside her to want to roll her eyes.

The two of them climbed over the wall into the industrial park, successfully avoided the security patrol, and then successfully sneaked into a workshop.

Finally, when Xiaoya curiously asked a student worker about his condition, the student shouted and led the security personnel over. Now Kanna had to hide with Xiaoya and pray that the security personnel would not search her.

"Why is that student so excited? We're here to help them."

Xiaoya was still a little confused. Logically, shouldn't the workers support them? Even if they didn't, they wouldn't have immediately called for security.

At least answer her question first.

But even so, Xiaoya could see the fatigue in the eyes of these student workers. Their eyes were calm, and they didn't even react when Xiaoya walked past them. Only when Xiaoya went up to ask a student did they make any extra movements.

"They look like robots."

"Oh yes! Just like a robot!"

Kanna's words made Xiaoya's thinking much clearer. Those students just stayed on the production line and only did the actions required for her process. They hardly did any other actions.

"When I asked that student, there seemed to be a hint of fear in her eyes?"

Xiaoya recalled the girl's expression at that time. It didn't look like she was surprised, but more like she was afraid. What was she afraid of? This was unknown.

It seems that there are also problems with this industrial park. From a rough look, the production lines in the park seem to be military production lines. From guns to tanks, arms are continuously produced with almost automated production lines operating at full capacity.

What does Makoto need so much munitions for? The Pandemonium Guards and the Discipline Committee are already fully stocked with weapons, and I haven't heard of Gehenna selling large quantities of munitions abroad. So what are these weapons for?

Xiaoya doesn't believe that Makoto would be so idle as to make a bunch of weapons and let them gather dust in the warehouse.

"Over there! Don't let them get away!"

The voice of security personnel was heard outside the temporary hiding place. Xiaoya and Kanna looked at each other, and then put on woolen hoods together.

There is no Spartacus group here today, only our masked swimsuit group!

Xiaoya kicked over the barrel in front of her that she didn't know what it was filled with, then stood up and started shooting. With Kanna's cover behind her, the entire small security patrol team was knocked out by the two of them in less than half a minute.

After casually greeting Kanna, Xiaoya took the lead and rushed out.

She decided to force her way out. There was no point in hiding in this situation. She continued to ask questions, but the student workers wouldn't be able to get anything out of her, let alone develop comradery among them.

If someone doesn't pick up a gun to beat you up, you're considered to have a good temper.

In short, the first investigation was a failure. They need to collect more information and change their working methods.

The park's security forces responded quickly. They were all elite members of the Pandemonium Guard and were even equipped with tanks and armored vehicles.

"Makoto really attaches great importance to this place." Xiaoya couldn't help but say as she watched the tanks slowly advancing in front of the infantry of the Pandemonium Guard.

Most students don’t know anything about infantry-tank coordination.

"Captain, I'm not good at frontal assaults..."

Kanna found a shooting point. As a sniper, her ability to withstand attacks was actually not much stronger than that of ordinary small fry.

"I understand. Leave it to me. Just help me keep an eye on high-threat targets."

Xiaoya nodded. Now there was a gap between her strength and Kanna and Eri and the others. To be honest, it didn't matter whether Kanna was there or not in this situation. Xiaoya could fight it out by herself anyway.

The girl started running, and she was also looking for a fighting method that suited her.

Her weapon was a submachine gun, and she was small and agile. Perhaps Nelue's fighting style would suit her? However, she didn't have Nelue's powerful physical skills; she only knew some basic fighting skills.

But that is relative to Nilu. To deal with ordinary enemies, Xiaoya's basic fighting level is enough. After all, her strength allows her to send bricks flying.

The value is filled in like this.jpg

With a few leaps, Xiaoya jumped onto the Type 4 tank under the baptism of bullets from the Pantheon guards. The crew in the tank had not yet reacted. They could only see the enemy wearing a strange mask suddenly jump up and then disappear from their sight.

They had no choice but to aim at the sniper who was still in their sight, but they had no chance to fire.

Following Hoshino's example, Xiaoya grabbed the tank's hatch and pulled it hard.

"Squeak-"

With a harsh sound of metal friction, Xiaoya pulled down the hatch, grinned at the confused gunner and commander inside, and raised his submachine gun to smash the internal structure of the vehicle to pieces.

She shook her hands, replaced the magazine, and turned the gun. Then she fired at the minions of the Pandemonium guards following behind the tank.

Although their bullets didn't cause much damage to Xiaoya, it still hurt.

The minions of the Wanmo Palace guards were immediately beaten to the ground by Xiaoya's fierce firepower, and soon this elite team of more than a dozen people were all knocked unconscious.

"OK, solved."

Jumping off the tank, Xiaoya called on Kanna to keep going, but Kanna was stunned.

When did the captain suddenly become so strong? She had only seen Hoshino tearing apart a tank with his bare hands.

Of course, Xiaoya herself knew that there was still a big gap between her and Hoshino. Hoshino could tear off the tank hatch with just a little effort, but she had to use a lot of force.

However, being able to tear a tank apart with bare hands has already surpassed most Kivotos students, which made Kanna stare at Xiaoya from time to time, as if she wanted to see if her captain had been replaced by someone else.

"Oh, stop staring at me like that. I don't know what's going on, but my strength seems to have been growing since Abydos." It seemed like it started when she began to think about life. Xiaoya recalled a disgusting figure.

Black clothes, that black-salted egg said her mystery was undergoing transformation when he first saw her.

Maybe her increased strength was related to her mystery? This wasn't something Xiaoya should consider. After all, a student couldn't even see what their own aura looked like, so how could they know what kind of changes had taken place?

No matter what, becoming stronger is a good thing. With strength, she will have the confidence to compete with Makoto.

Between Progress and Reaction: Chapter 7: The Great Stage of Gehenna, Come and See the Work

The small fry in the Pandemonium guards are no match for Xiaoya. Kanna only needs to follow Xiaoya, and Xiaoya can clear out all the enemies that block them by herself.

"In other words, if we wanted to call in directly at the beginning, we could have done so..."

"What? Kanna, what did you say?"

"No, it's okay. I told you that you are very strong, Captain."

Looking at Xiaoya scratching her head, Kanna thought to herself.

Now she can't be of much help to Xiaoya in the battle, so why not she delve deeper into the theory of communitarianism that Xiaoya mentioned?

On their first night back in Gehenna, they discussed more than just the club structure and how to act in the dormitory.

As a lecturer, Xiaoya also explained to them some basic principles of communitarianism. Although it was not much and not profound, Kanna now has some understanding of what communitarianism is.

I heard from Xiaoya that she is only a dabbler in this area...Kanna has already decided to borrow a copy of the "Selected Works" from Xiaoya after returning home.

......

"Hello, Anna-san, I'm Mei Suzuki, the captain of the Spartacus Group."

Looking at the single seedling that Eri and Futaba had harvested after an entire afternoon of hard work, Xiaoya smiled and greeted the girl who was shorter than herself.

As she expected, studying had no appeal to the students of Gehenna. Xiaoya was already satisfied that Eri and Futaba could trick a new member into joining.

"Hello."

Anna responded timidly, never having expected that the leader of this reading club with a strange name was a first-year student like her.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.

Why would she, a graduate of Trinity Junior High School, want to study in Gehenna?

But even though she complained, she was still not happy about Anna transferring to Trinity.

Although there are indeed more divine people in Gehenna, compared to the atmosphere of intentional or unintentional discrimination against poor students in Trinity, Xingna feels that the chaos in Gehenna is not unbearable.

At least Gehenna’s students won’t look down on her just because she is poor, right?

And everyone here is talented, the food at the cafeteria is delicious, I love it here.jpg

"Well, may I ask why you want to join our club?" Xiaoya asked.

"Because, because I like reading, and other clubs are not suitable for me..."

Anna answered this way. In fact, after enrolling in Gehenna, she almost visited all the clubs in Gehenna.

Anna really doesn't like Pandemonium. Although Ibuki is cute, she feels that Makoto is like someone is missing a string in his brain.

She would not go to military clubs like the Discipline Committee. She had no interest in cooking in the Food Department, and she did not like fishing in the Fishing Department. However, she did visit the Tank Manufacturing Department.

To be more precise, I took a glimpse from a distance and it felt no different from a prison.

The Gourmet Research Society and the Hot Spring Development Department are pure terrorists.

She heard there was a club called Convenience House, but she couldn't find it.

Nothing worked, and she even tried going back to the club, but being introverted, she couldn't adapt to the atmosphere there, so in the end, Anna just stayed alone.

"I see. Anyway, we're having a book club tonight. Do you want to come?"

Hearing Xiaoya say this, Anna nodded hesitantly. It seems that the Spartacus Group is quite normal at the moment.

Around seven o'clock in the evening, in Gehenna's club classroom, Xiaoya hung the "Spartacus Group" sign outside the classroom.

From now on, this will be the activity room of the Spartacus Group.

The club application process has also been completed. With the teacher's support, the process that originally took a week can now be completed in half a day.

Moreover, Pandemonium did not come to trouble them, and Makoto seemed to have not found out who dared to attack the tank manufacturing department.

But when Xiaoya got the club sign from the club management office, she saw a wanted poster for the "Masked Swimsuit Group" on the notice board.

I heard from the staff of Pandemonium in the Club Management Office that Makoto was planning to report this newly discovered cross-college criminal organization to the Federal Student Union.

However, these will not affect Xiaoya for the time being. After all, what does the wanted masked swimsuit group have to do with her, a good student who just wants to study hard?

It is worth mentioning that when I went to the club management office again in the afternoon, I didn’t see Iroha.

Xiaoya sat on a chair in the activity room and spread out the "Selected Works of Counselors" on the table. This was the book Wu Hui gave her when she left Hongdong.

She is currently reading On Practice. Although she still doesn't quite understand some parts, she can still continue reading with the help of Wu Hui's notes.

Of course, she didn't plan to talk about this at the book club later. It was called a book club, but since she was the only one with the highest theoretical level, it would be more accurate to call it a study club.

Xiaoya decided to start with one of Wu Hui's most classic booklets, Liuyiboa Yueyi.

The history of all hitherto existing societies is the history of class struggles.

When I first read the booklet, apart from the long preface, the first sentence of the first article gave me a great shock.

Come to think of it, it seems so. The history of Kivotos is the history of class struggle, just like Gehenna.

Was the conflict between the demon students and dragon students of ancient Gehenna just a conflict between races?

That's not true. While the dragon rulers were oppressing the demon students, they were also oppressing the lower-class dragon students. When the demon students rose up in rebellion, there were many dragon students among them. Later, the demon students defeated the dragon rulers, but they didn't stop oppressing the lower-class demon students.

After fighting like this, the demon students and dragon students finally became one and became as close as a family.

Xiaoya only regretted that she had not read the booklet earlier. If she had realized the issue of class struggle earlier, she would not have been cheated so badly by Caesar. She would not have been foolishly thanked Caesar for reimbursing her medical expenses after being set up by the Caesar Group.

Anyway, it's all in the past. Now Xiaoya is thinking about how to explain it in a popular way without changing the original meaning so that others can understand it.

"Excuse me...is this the place?"

Anna's voice brought Xiaoya back to reality from her contemplation, and she looked at her phone.

At 7:30, Anna arrived quite early.

"It's right here. Just find a seat and sit down. Here, this is the book we're going to read today."

Xiaoya took out one of the five identical booklets at hand and handed it to Anna.

After Anna took it, she saw clearly the booklet which she had never heard of before.
