“Huh? Where's Tu Ling?"

Lin Yu smacked his lips, just coming out of the game. He couldn't believe he'd been eliminated at the end.

He was sitting in his seat, savoring the game, about to tell his best friend, but Tu Ling wasn't there when he turned his head.

"The team leader came just now and said he needed Tu Ling for something."

The classmate sitting opposite him had also just come out of the game. He hadn't made it to the end, having been eliminated midway.

As soon as he was out of the game, he ordered a Starship Bento Box to compensate for the regret of not being able to eat during the game because he was too busy fighting.

"But the team leader didn't look too happy. Did Tu Ling do something wrong?"

"No way?"

Lin Yu, as Tu Ling's friend, knew his personality. He hadn't done anything wrong on the way to the Empire to participate in the Eight Schools Exchange.

"Hey, where's the classmate next to you? He's not here either?"

"The team leader called him out too."

Lin Yu was worried when suddenly, the door to their cabin rang. It was their team leader again, his eyes deep as he looked at the two of them. "You two, come with me."

"Huh?"

The two didn't expect to be called out. The team leader didn't say anything along the way, but called out other classmates as well. Lin Yu glanced and saw that all five people following the team leader were from their class.

"Teacher, is our homeroom teacher looking for us?"

Lin Yu asked boldly and received an affirmative answer.

"All of you, go to the conference room at the front. Your homeroom teacher will have a video call with you."

The team leader led them to the front conference room. On the way, passing the door of another conference room, Lin Yu curiously peeked inside through the glass.

Lin Yu: ??

Was he seeing things? Why were there a row of students kneeling?

…

Central Military Academy.

As soon as Mingmei came out of the game, she received a notice from her second sister-in-law, or rather, her homeroom teacher, for a temporary class meeting.

For some reason, her heart tightened, and a bad feeling arose in her mind.

Could this be related to tonight's game?

What confirmed her uneasiness was when they appeared in the classroom late at night, the classroom seemed to have been cleaned in advance, with all the desks and chairs gone.

All that was left were thin objects that looked like cushions.

This reminded Mingmei of futons, the kind that made people kneel.

"Come in~"

Cher, standing in the classroom, turned back and looked at the sneaky crowd at the door, smiling gently.

Everyone: "…"

It felt even more terrifying!

"Teacher, what's going on so late?"

The crowd, called in by Cher, asked tentatively.

Students with high mental strength were also quite perceptive, and they felt that entering this classroom was practically the end for them.

"It's nothing. Everyone just came to have a heart-to-heart talk. After all, students from other schools will be coming over tomorrow at noon. Let's talk before then."

Hearing that it was about the Eight Schools Exchange, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone: Oh, then there shouldn't be anything wrong, right?

Thinking so, a group of people finally tentatively took the first step, and after confirming that there was no problem, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked in.

Mingmei stood at the back and glanced at Mu Chen, who innocently blinked at Mingmei, indicating that he didn't know either.

Besides, Mingmei also saw three other people who, like them, didn't dare to go in directly.

One was Lu Gui, who had a tense face and was staring in Cher's direction, his face full of "I don't trust you, you wicked old woman!"

The other two were Li Yuan, who had been targeted by Hu Yue earlier. Li Yuan's intuition was so sharp that he felt that Ms. Cher was not quite right today.

As for Qi Hai Kui, he directly felt the turbulent emotions under Cher's gentle and peaceful demeanor. Tonight—danger!

In the end, only the five of them were left at the door, and Cher urged them again before they slowly came in.

What was meant to come could not be avoided!

Lu Xiaoyao looked at her brother and Mingmei, waving frantically and proudly showing off the "seats" she had saved for them.

The few exchanged glances and walked over to sit down.

When she sat down, Mingmei felt even more that the cushion wasn't meant for sitting, it was too small.

In their class, Mingmei could be considered the shortest in terms of frame and height, but even she felt a little cramped sitting directly on this cushion, let alone others.

So, Lu Xiaoyao, who always spoke her mind, had already whispered next to her, "This cushion is so small, it's hard to sit on~"

"If it's hard, why not kneel? If you kneel, the small futon is enough for two knees."

"That's too…"

Lu Xiaoyao was about to retort to the person who gave her the "bad idea," but when she looked up following the voice, she saw Ms. Cher looking at her with a smile, and the surrounding students had already seemed to realize something, and silently changed from a cross-legged sitting position to a kneeling position.

Lu Xiaoyao swallowed hard and squeezed out an ugly smile…

The next day, everyone woke up much later than usual.

When everyone met in the cafeteria, they were speechless and sighed for nothing.

The past, the less said the better QvQ!

"Although the teacher told us to use anti-swelling spray when we got back, I still have knee pain when I think about welcoming students from other schools with Ms. Cher at noon~"

When Lu Xiaoyao thought about how their performance in the game last night was watched by all the teachers, and Cher thoughtfully held a public execution while "talking" with them.

Playing the noisy public channel scene that was like a chicken farm made people want to smash their heads into the ground and run away!

"Speaking of which, if Ms. Cher knows, then what about Bai Xiao and Hu Yue?"

Mingmei ate breakfast, thinking about the other five students who weren't in their class. Could it be that they were some kind of fish that slipped through the net?

Speak of the devil, Mingmei was curious about Hu Yue and the others when she heard Mu Chen cough lightly beside her to remind her. When she turned her head, she saw the other five students also coming in at the time when breakfast was provided.

Among them, the one in the best condition should be Wang Wenfei. Just looking at her complexion, you could tell that her experience was different from that of the others.

Although her teacher also found her for a heart-to-heart talk yesterday, it was not mainly criticism, but more encouragement and expectation.

Hu Yue and Bai Xiao's faces were similar to Lu Xiaoyao's and the others, and it was obvious that they had been scolded a lot last night.

However, their homeroom teacher was known for being mature and gentlemanly, so there must have been no yelling or pointing fingers, but the psychological and mental torture must have been a lot, probably on par with Ms. Cher's methods.

Compared to Mr. Dennis, everyone "witnessed" what Ms. Jinni, the homeroom teacher of the Zhen brothers, did.

The brothers still had swollen noses and bruised faces, so it wasn't hard to imagine what they had experienced.

Their homeroom teacher didn't even let them use any anti-swelling potions, saying they had to wait until noon to pick up people from other schools before they could use them, and let them go out with this look before, which was also very cruel.

Zhen Hu & Zhen Po: QAQ!
