Wei Liang did not feel surprised at all and calmly said, “That time is about right.
In my experience, no matter where you go, leaving fifteen to thirty minutes early is indeed the most reasonable.”
Lin Yi asked curiously, “Oh, is there a reason for that?”
“No particular reason,” Wei Liang shook his head and said, “But it’s pointless to go early!
The dormitory allows entry and exit only during the hour between 21:00 and 22:00.
If you go early, you have to wait, which is very dull.”
“Right, should we check the weather before we go?”
Lin Yi said, “I checked when I came in, the weather is okay, the mist is just slightly thicker than it was at dinner time, visibility is still decent.”
“That’s good,” Wei Liang felt a bit more at ease and passed several volumes of “Ikkitousen” to Lin Yi, “Then how about reading for a while, to kill some time before we go?
I remember you got up to the third volume yesterday, I’ve found the next ones for you.”
“Okay…
sure,” Lin Yi hesitated for a moment but eventually accepted the volumes of “Ikkitousen.”
However, as he flipped through them, he found that the manga he was able to immerse himself in the day before now felt as tasteless as chewing wax.
Finally, he took out his notebook again, turned to a brand-new page, and wrote:
Iron will is the key to combating contamination.
…
A sudden heavy thud interrupted Lin Yi’s rhythm of reading the manga.
It was more of “looking” at the manga, really; he opened it and found himself staring blankly at a certain spot.
This method of daydreaming didn’t necessarily require a manga.
Sometimes, using a calculus text or an English book worked even better to reach this state…
Staring at the lines on the page, his mind wandered far and wide—many thoughts unrelated to the campus.
His mind approached a blank state; he was thinking about everything and nothing at the same time.
He was actually just zoning out.
He was actually just thinking about the head teacher.
Until that heavy knocking sound snapped his train of thought, dragging his attention back.
“Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!”
Lifting his head in some confusion, Lin Yi followed the sound and was shocked to see Xu Shunkang forcefully slapping the podium, apparently trying to catch everyone’s attention.
“Xu Shunkang?!” Lin Yi’s spirit perked up, his attention instantly focused.
In his memory, Xu Shunkang was not the kind to seek attention, so trying to get noticed at this time meant he must have had a plan.
The noise in the lecture hall died down instantly, and all eyes shifted to Xu Shunkang.
Seeing the room quiet down, Xu Shunkang hurriedly said, “Fellow students, please listen!
The mist outside is getting thicker.
Please leave the classroom now and head to the dorm quickly!”
“Whoosh—”
At these words, the normally dull students all looked up, and when they saw that the one speaking on stage was a Sports Student dressed in blue and white tracksuit, a flicker of movement appeared in their previously stagnant eyes.
However, among the Newborns, a few chuckled suddenly, then continued to chat in small groups, heads bowed together.
Xu Shunkang took in everything with a cold laugh, then turned to look at the clock hanging above the blackboard of the podium, continuing:
“I will only say this once, it’s 20:15 now, you have 15 minutes to leave the classroom.”
“At 20:30, we Sports Students will leave the classroom on time to go to the dormitory…
you’d better pray not to be on the same path as us.”
After finishing his words, Xu Shunkang scanned the lecture hall then stepped away from the podium, returning to the midst of the Sports Students.
“Tsk!” Some of the Newborns playing with their phones sneered with disdain and contempt, “Who are you, anyway, giving us orders out of the blue?”
“Yeah, what’s with the act?”
Some of the Newborns were not only unimpressed but actually annoyed by Xu Shunkang’s blunt warning, as if they were saying, “Who do you think you are, telling us what to do?”
But after the Sports Students spoke, the thirteen Experience Students who had arrived early tidily left their seats, gathered their things, and one by one opened the door and exited the classroom.
“We should go too,” Lin Yi decisively packed up his notebook and took his backpack from beside his feet.
“Sure!” Wei Liang responded readily.
If it hadn’t been for the thick mist making it impossible to leave the classroom the day before, they would have already returned to the dormitory to sleep, not having to endure until now.
A day and a night without sleep, their bodies had passed through the tired phase and entered a state of abnormal excitement.
This stage consumed a lot of energy, typically a state where they could stay awake for a while as long as they didn’t touch the bed, but the moment they did, they would fall asleep instantly.
The two swiftly packed their things and promptly left the lecture hall.
Among the twenty-five new Experience Students, some also hesitated for a moment before a few of them slowly left their seats, deciding to heed the advice of the Sports Student.
One girl dressed in a Lolita costume, dolled up in pale pinks, weighed her options clearly before expressing her desire to go to the dormitory to the boys who had been hovering around her, but they seemed to reject her suggestion.
