Qing Long nodded in agreement, but he expressed a different idea.

"That's right, right? But I want to make one thing clear first. I'm particularly afraid of trouble. Instead of forcing integration and causing intrigue within the group, it's better to be a little loose and let everyone live a more comfortable life. This way, I'll have less pressure and trouble."

"If that's the case, why do you need to be the person in charge and take the lead in establishing this team? Wouldn't it be more comfortable for you to just join a random team?"

Yahiko was a little confused.

"I said it at the beginning. I just want to make friends. I used to live a very closed life and I have never experienced what it feels like to have many friends."

Qinglong said half jokingly and half seriously.

"I believe you are listening to me. I will not tell you what to do or how to do it. You can do whatever you want. But please try your best when you need to. To be honest, I enjoy the free campus life here. If I were to be the last one, I would definitely drag down those who didn't work hard. If everyone has tried their best, then I accept it. At worst, I will just go back to that closed space."

Hashimoto, who was on the upper bunk, poked his head out. He didn't have any bad feelings towards Kiyotaka, and they had established a friendly relationship from the beginning, so he spoke in a casual manner.

"Closed? How closed is it, Ayanokouji?"

Regarding this topic, even Ryuuen, who was sleeping, became somewhat interested.

Qinglong thought about it for a moment.

"Hmm... probably like eating, sleeping and studying in a box?"

"This is too exaggerated, but it must look very hard."

Hashimoto was a little skeptical, but he still acknowledged Kiyotaka's hard work.

Qing Long didn't care that no one believed him even though he told the truth. After all, he only said it because they asked questions. It was up to them whether they believed it or not.

"But I can't guarantee anything else. Yahiko and I will try our best."

Hashimoto smiled brightly and said this as if making a promise.

Yahiko also nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Because for the two people in Class A, they were assigned here, so winning or losing actually has no impact on them because they will get corresponding compensation in the end. However, this is the pride of being in Class A, and they cannot afford to be careless about things.

Qinglong was somewhat surprised by this unexpected surprise. He could only nod to show his gratitude.

"It's getting late, everyone should go to bed early. After all, we don't know what we will face tomorrow."

Qinglong looked at the night outside and spoke.

"That's right..."

Hashimoto retracted his head, and Yukimura returned to his bed. Although his doubts were not resolved, it was still a barely acceptable result, right?

The dormitory gradually became quiet, and Qinglong also lay down. He closed his eyes and thought quietly.

Assuming that Class A's promise can be trusted, although his group is still a mess on the surface, in a sense it can be controlled by Qinglong.

Class B has a cooperative relationship with Class C. If Ichinose wasn't stupid, there would be no chance of them falling out in this exam.

As for Albert and Ishizaki from Class D, although they have apparently broken away from Ryuuen's dominance, they are still Ryuuen's loyal dogs. Kiyotaka believes that Ryuuen may cause some trouble with small actions, but he will never interfere with Kiyotaka in big things. Sometimes he is even like an ace.

Things actually went even more smoothly than expected, which was something Qinglong had not expected.

After thinking about all this, the night was gradually getting late. Even Kouenji had returned. Fortunately, he did not yell like usual, but just went back to his bed and went to sleep honestly.

It’s night, go to sleep.

----

At six o'clock in the morning, when everyone was still asleep, the speakers installed in the room had already started playing cheerful music. I guess this was the signal to get up.

At this time, it was not even daybreak yet and it was still dark outside the curtains.

"Oh my god, what the hell is going on? What are you trying to do so early in the morning?"

Ishizaki's irritable voice sounded, as if it officially became the clarion call for everyone to wake up.

"I guess I have to get up at this time every week."

Although it was very quiet, Qinglong still heard the mumbling coming from the upper bunk.

"In general, it is best for all to get up. Missing any one person may result in a point deduction."

Yukimura reminded as he put on his clothes.

Since we lived in the same room together for a week, who knows if we will have to bear joint responsibilities.

"Hey, has anyone seen Koenji?"

After putting on his clothes, Yukimura discovered that no one was sitting at Kouenji's seat.

"Oh, good morning everyone, are you looking for me?"

There were beads of sweat on Kouenji's head. It was obvious that he woke up earlier than everyone else and even went out for some exercise.

This made Qinglong admire him. According to the weather, it was already late when he came back. He only slept for a few hours and went out for morning exercise. He was really self-disciplined.

"Where have you been?"

"Haha, I just went there for my daily exercise."

Kouenji shook his hair and responded to Yukimura as a matter of course.

"Although I don't deny your self-discipline, we don't know what will happen today, so it's better to save some energy."

Yukimura expressed it tactfully in the form of advice.

"Even after I do my morning exercises, my physical strength is still much better than that of ordinary people, so there is no need to worry."

Kouenji answered with a proud look on his face.

Qing Long did not deny this, as it was a fact he had confirmed with his own eyes.

By this time, Qinglong had already put on his clothes. He got off the bed and looked around.

"I think we should stop talking nonsense and go to the assembly first."

As soon as Kiyotaka said this, Yukimura stopped talking and walked towards the door silently. Even Kouenji returned to his seat and changed his clothes. Kiyotaka watched everyone in the dormitory leave before he was the last one to leave.

Invisibly, Qinglong's right to speak has been quietly established. This team, which seems to contain a lot of dangers, may become a dark horse and stand out at some point?

Chapter 154: Adjustment is Difficult

After gathering, the whole group gathered in a classroom, and soon a teacher walked in.

"I'm Onodera, the homeroom teacher for Grade 3-B class. After the roll call, you will go outside to clean the designated area. After cleaning the designated area, we will clean the school building. This will become your compulsory task for the next week. If it rains, you don't have to clean the area, but correspondingly, it will take twice as long to clean the school building. The time will not be shortened."

Onodera looked around at the students in the audience and gave a serious reminder.

"From today on, the course is no longer limited to school teachers. People from all walks of life will join us. Please be sure to greet and interact with them sincerely and politely. Not only should you say hello, but you should also show respect and courtesy to others."

After a brief explanation, Onodera didn't say any more and directly assigned the areas.

Qinglong also led people to the designated location.

At this time, they all had cleaning tools in their hands, except for Kouenji.

"I didn't expect that the first thing I would do upon arrival would be cleaning."

Hashimoto looked at the bucket in his hand and smiled helplessly.

"Now, why doesn't he clean?"

Ishizaki glanced at Ishizaki who was looking out the window, feeling a little unhappy.

Since there was no designated person to answer this question, Kiyotaka just started cleaning silently and ignored it.

"Hey, you, why don't you help clean up? Isn't this a group activity?"

Seeing that no one answered, Ishizaki, who had no place to vent his anger, fired directly at the target.

"Oh? Are you talking about me? I'm a little tired because of the morning exercise just now, so I'm resting."

Kouenji looked at the person who came, brushed his hair, and explained seriously.

"Stop lying! Just now you said that you have extraordinary physical strength."

Kouenji glanced at Ishizaki and chuckled.

"Oh, are you following Red Hair's path? The bad guys look a little scary, but it would be annoying to have anything to do with you. Instead of nagging me here, why don't you just go and clean up?"

Long Yuan who was named did not show any fluctuation. He just cleaned normally. It cannot be said that he was cleaning seriously, but at least he was doing it.

Ishizaki glanced at Ryuen cautiously, then glanced in the direction of Kiyotaka, spat fiercely, said nothing more, and went back to clean up angrily.

The smell of gunpowder was suppressed silently, and the group cleaned the assigned area quickly and then were taken to other places.

-

The room is covered with soft and comfortable tatami, and the sweet scent of rush fills the air, gently evoking people's deep nostalgia.

A scene full of memories appeared before my eyes, as if I had traveled through time and space and returned to the past.

We were led by the teacher into this spacious space, which was like a vast and sacred dojo, and there seemed to be other groups of people working on their own projects at the same time.

The man in front of everyone was a strange man, probably the non-school teacher mentioned by the class teacher.

"Starting today, you must meditate here in the morning and evening. This is also one of your compulsory courses every day."

The teacher asked the groups to sit down and began to give a brief explanation.

They were in a place called a meditation hall, where not only did they have to maintain a special posture when walking, but they also had to perform specific body movements when standing.

Each person must close one of their hands and use the other hand to wrap around a fist, which must be raised to the level of the heart. This action is called the gong shou gu shi gu shi. Depending on the school, the hand that wraps around the fist may vary, but it does not seem to be restricted to a particular school here.

Then, we received another instruction on meditation.

The so-called meditation is not simply sitting still, but a method of meditation.

When meditating, it is not necessary to completely blank your mind, but rather to engage in a series of imaginations.

To help trigger these imaginations, there is a diagram called the Ten Oxen Diagram.

This diagram uses ten illustrations of cows to represent the process of embarking on the path to enlightenment.

This was Qinglong's first time trying it, so he was quite curious.

“First, adopt the proper body posture with your feet crossed and stacked on top of each other on your thighs. This posture is also crucial during the exam as it can have an impact on the results. So make sure you master it early on.”

After hearing the instructor's words, some students immediately started trying.

"It hurts! No way, I can only put one side up? How can I do this?"

“If you can’t do it at first, you can also do it in a single cross leg position with just one leg folded over the other.”

The instructor then gave a brief demonstration.

Qinglong tried it himself and found that he could do it, so he directly chose the double-lotus position. But surprisingly, Qinglong took a quick glance and found that most of the students could not do it.

Then, Qing Long keenly noticed that the instructor's eyes lingered in a certain direction for a while, but then turned around without saying anything and continued to instruct those students who couldn't do it yet.

Kiyotaka followed his mentor's gaze and saw that it was in the direction of Koenji.

He was sitting cross-legged calmly with his eyes closed, a slight smile on his face, looking as if he was in a trance.

The instructor probably thought his posture was very standard, so he didn't dwell on the issue of him doing it too early.

"Koenji-san is an amazing person. He can do very well if he wants to do something."

Sitting next to Kiyotaka was Moriyama from Class B, who was also able to sit cross-legged, and he whispered to Kiyotaka.

Although he usually doesn't talk much, he has always been cooperative because of the BC class.

"It's OK. At least he doesn't hate doing it. It saves a lot of trouble."

"That's right..."

Because it was the first time, most of the time was spent on explanations and corrections, so the actual time left for everyone to meditate for the first time was only about five minutes.

But for some reason, after a short period of meditation, Qinglong felt that his mind was much clearer.

Since last night, although he didn't show it, his mind had been racing, considering all kinds of possibilities. Even Qinglong felt a little dizzy, but now that feeling was gone, at least Qinglong felt a lot more comfortable.

“This is a novel experience...”

After finishing the cleaning and meditation, it was already around seven o'clock. Everyone was brought to an open space. What surprised Qinglong was that there was a group of girls more than ten or twenty meters away. Anyone with a little better eyesight could see the situation on both sides clearly.

Is this one of the school's rules, or is it because there is really no room left?

Qing Long was a little confused, because it was agreed that the boys and girls would be separated for a week in closed classes, and the only contact was during meals. But in this situation, it was inevitable that they would have contact, as long as they wanted...
