Why is my journey to the world of anime a strange tale of rules?

Page 203

"Oh, I see. By the way, Mr. Gao, after that goat-headed man came in, what did you see? In a very dark place, there was a scene of someone being tortured by being chained up. Someone was talking in the dark. Not far away, there was a man whose face was not visible sitting in front of a small table. There was a lamp on the table, but the lamp was very dim. There was a printed manuscript on the table with a lot of words written on it. Did you see that scene?"

After catching her breath, Jianzi asked Gao Hai.

“I saw it… wait a minute, you seem to see it much more clearly than I do. I can only barely make out that someone is standing at a distance watching all of this. Can you remember what was written on that manuscript?”

Gao Hai didn't react at first, but after listening carefully, he realized how much Jianzi had clearly seen in that moment of hallucination. He couldn't help but feel how outrageous the child's talent was, and quickly asked her.

"Ah, how could I possibly remember so many words... I think I can remember them all. Hmm, I do remember what was written on it."

Originally, Jianzi shook her head, intending to show that she couldn't possibly remember so much. But when she tried to recall what she had just seen, the girl was astonished to find that she could clearly remember all the details and every single word.

It's as if that thing isn't writing.

It was as if it were something with a strange power, expressed through words, and that's why she couldn't forget it after seeing it.

"...If I were to say it, it might be bad for Mr. Gao. I feel those words...are terrifying..."

After a brief hesitation, Jianzi looked at Gao Hai and whispered something.

"No matter how terrible it is, you have to tell me now. I need to understand the situation as much as possible so that I can have a chance to help you survive in this place and find a way out."

Gao Hai immediately recognized that it was either contaminated information or something like some kind of bizarre rule. But now, being relentlessly pursued by monsters and unable to find a suitable opportunity to gather intelligence, Gao Hai couldn't worry about that anymore. He needed to know something to better decide his next move.

"All right……"

Seeing Gao Hai's resolute attitude, and after hesitating for a moment, Jian Zi quietly repeated the contents of the manuscript he had seen.

[Fujihana Junior High School Student Grade Handbook]

This is the title of the text on the paper, and it contains quite a lot of information.

To better nurture, manage, and guide students, Teng Hua Middle School will divide its students into five levels. Please remember your level and strive to reach the highest level. Only by becoming the best student can you repay the school for its cultivation.

The student grades at this school are as follows:

1. Outstanding Student

Only students who rank in the top 10 of the entire grade or have received more than 3 individual awards are eligible to be named outstanding students. You are the good students of Teng Hua Middle School, and you are the role models that every student should admire and learn from. You represent the most glorious aspect of this school.

As an outstanding student, your daily life should be spent like this:

【(1.) Maintain a neat and tidy appearance. Outstanding students' clothes must not be dirty and must always be clean and tidy. They should also wear their outstanding student badge at all times.】

【(2.) Greet the teacher politely, keeping your eyes on the teacher while bowing, and only slightly bending over】

(3.) During morning reading time, you may leave your seat to supervise other students' reading.

(4.) The upscale area of the cafeteria will be open to you. Please be sure to dine in this area.

(5.) You have the right to make demands on ordinary students, delinquent students, and bad students, and the other party must do their best to cooperate with you.

(6.) Students must not harm other outstanding, good, or average students; the safety of others should be guaranteed by the school.

(7.) Demands made against delinquent students should not involve their personal safety; the student's life should be protected by the school.

(8.) You can make any requests to bad students on campus. If you have special needs, you can communicate with the teachers in charge of the basement floors. They know how to cooperate with you.

2. Good student

Only students whose grades rank in the top 30% of the entire grade, or who have received an individual award, are eligible to be rated as good students. You are the good students of Teng Hua Middle School, and you will surely become the backbone of society in the future. You represent the excellent side of this school.

As a good student, your daily life should be spent like this:

【(1.) Maintain a neat and tidy appearance. A good student's clothes should not be dirty and must always be clean and tidy.】

【(2.) Greet the teacher politely, and when bowing, keep your gaze on the teacher's chest or abdomen. You are not entitled to make eye contact with the teacher; if you do so, you will receive a warning.】

[(3.) During morning reading time, you should sit in your seat and complete the reading attentively. If you are deemed not to be attentive enough by the teacher or outstanding students, you will receive a warning as punishment.]

[(4.) You may only eat in the mid-range and low-range areas of the cafeteria. You may not go to the high-end or garbage areas. Otherwise, you will receive a warning penalty.]

[(5.) You have the right to make requests of ordinary students, delinquent students, and bad students. The other party must do their best to cooperate with you, but the requests must not conflict with the requests of excellent students or pose a fatal danger to delinquent students; otherwise, a warning will be given as punishment.]

(6.) You can make any requests to bad students on campus. If you have special needs, you can communicate with the teachers in charge of the basement floors. They know how to cooperate with you.

(7.) If you have already been rated as a good student, and you receive a total of 3 warnings, you will be demoted to a regular student.

3. Regular Students

Every new student is initially classified as an average student. If your grades remain in the top 30% to 70% of the class and you receive no warnings or punishments, you will retain your average student rating. You may not be outstanding, but that's not your fault. However, Fujika Middle School is a school for high-achieving students. If you haven't done what you're supposed to do, then you will need to be subject to certain consequences.

As an ordinary student, this is how you should spend your daily life:

[(1.) Maintain a neat and tidy appearance. Any teacher, outstanding student, or good student has the right to report you. If any stain is found on your clothes, you will receive a warning.]

【(2.) Greet the teacher politely, and when bowing, keep your gaze on the teacher's feet. You are not allowed to make eye contact with the teacher, otherwise you will receive a warning.】

[(3.) If you are found not to be taking the class seriously during morning reading and class time, you will receive a warning.]

(4.) You may only eat in the lower-priced areas of the cafeteria. You will receive a warning if you try to go to other areas.

(5.) You should cooperate with the requests of excellent and good students unless the request would harm you; otherwise, you will be warned.

[(6.) You have the right to make requests of delinquent and bad students, and they must do their best to cooperate. However, these requests must not conflict with the requests of excellent and good students or pose a fatal danger to delinquent students; otherwise, a warning will be issued.]

[(7.) You can make any demands on bad students on campus. You are not entitled to use special requests, but you can apply to observe. After communicating with the teacher in charge of the basement, they will notify you when the special request is carried out.]

(8.) If you have already been rated as a regular student, and you receive a total of 3 warnings, you will be demoted to a delinquent student.

(9.) Ordinary students are not allowed to graduate from school. You cannot graduate until you achieve a good student rating.

4. Delinquent students

[Only students who have made too many mistakes receive this rating. If your grades are between 70% and 90% in the school, or if you have received a certain number of warnings or punishments, you will be given this rating. It's quite surprising that someone like you got into this school, but we must acknowledge your existence. Good students need bad students to highlight them, but we need to ensure that you don't negatively impact the good students. Therefore, you will be subject to fairly strict management, and you must be punished for disappointing the school.]

[As a delinquent student, this is how you should spend your daily life:]

[(1.) Obey the requests of students of higher rank than you. As long as your life is not endangered, you should cooperate unconditionally; otherwise, you will receive a warning.]

[(2.) Kneel down before the teacher, keeping your gaze fixed on the teacher's shoes. You are not allowed to make eye contact with the teacher, otherwise you will be warned.]

[(3.) You may only eat in the lower-priced areas of the cafeteria; you will be warned if you go to other areas.]

[(4.) Your existence is solely to make good students aware of their own excellence; therefore, you should always cooperate with and please them, showing humility in front of students of higher rank than you, otherwise, you will be warned.]

(5.) You should try your best to cooperate with special requests that do not endanger your life, such as skinning, gouging out eyes, pulling out tongues, removing bones, or cutting flesh. Your life is protected by the school. Although your presence may only be repulsive to others, you should retain basic human rights.

(6.) If you have already been rated as a delinquent student, and you receive a total of 3 warnings, you will be demoted to a bad student and will never be able to improve your grade again.

[(7.) Students with poor academic performance are not allowed to graduate from school and may only return home once a month. You cannot graduate until you achieve a good student rating.]

5. Bad Students

Perhaps you're in the bottom 10% of the class, perhaps you're too disobedient and have broken the rules too many times. You're a bad student, a bad kid, your existence is disgusting. You should die. Your parents and your entire family would be executed after you're classified as this. Inferior genes cannot be passed down. But you're still alive because we value humanity. We believe that even a bad kid like you might have hope, so we'll give you a chance. This is our only mercy towards you.

The only reason you exist in this school is to show those who are better than you how disgusting and trashy you are, to make them realize they can never become such a scoundrel. Your life has been pardoned by us, but whether those who are better than you will pardon you depends on how well you behave. After all, you're a bad kid, and this is the result you deserve.

[As a bad student, this is how you should spend your daily life:]

[(1.) Keep on all fours. You are not entitled to walk on two feet. Anyone who disobeys this order will be executed.]

【(2.) Kneel down and kowtow to the teacher. Do not stop kowtowing until the teacher indicates that you may stop. Anyone who disobeys will be executed.】

[(3.) You may only eat in the garbage area of the cafeteria. You are not entitled to human food. Anyone who disobeys will be executed.]

(4.) Obey the orders of all those who are better than you; you exist only to please them, and those who disobey will die.

(5.) You should gratefully accept all demands, including insults, torture, physical harm, limb mutilation, beheading, dismemberment, and slow slicing, as these are gifts to you.

[(6.) Bad students are not allowed to graduate from school, are not allowed to leave school, and you can never leave here.]

Every student must remember these ranking rules. These rules, along with the student conduct handbook, will be the guidelines you must follow throughout your student life here. I hope you will have an unforgettable three years here.

As a rule table, this thing is really long and complicated, and it is divided into five different columns.

Furthermore, Gao Hai felt that... this rule list might have existed before Fujiwara Middle School became a bizarre instance. But the contents were something Gao Hai simply couldn't believe. This thing had appeared in this school when it was still a normal place with students and teachers, and it might even have actually been implemented.

Are you kidding me?

This kind of rule list... Are the Japanese really this twisted? Or was some kind of eerie force already at work back then, causing such terrifying student rules to appear in what was originally a normal junior high school?

Gao Hai was lost in thought, feeling somewhat unsettled.

Furthermore, according to the rules, he, Miko, and the other female students likely received a "normal student" rating upon entering this area. What's absurd is that this rules, which likely represent the operational mode of the Fujika Middle School instance itself, was discovered by Miko, a girl with incredibly strong intuition, after triggering an illusion. Normally, players would have no way of obtaining these rules, and might not even realize they've violated them.

Moreover, according to the rules... the first time I left my seat during morning reading, I made eye contact with the teacher and then assaulted him; the second time the lights were turned off during morning reading; the second time I looked directly at the teacher during morning reading; and the previous time I looked directly at that duck-headed man in the dark. It seems I have accumulated 5 warnings.

In other words, if I break this rule again, will I become a bad student in terms of my identity?
