Real teaching, hypocritical gray life

"Let's put aside the fact that it's harmless to humans and animals, but the title of mascot is a bit insulting to me, right? I have also made contributions to the class."

"Yes, yes, so when are you going to admit that you and Class Leader Ichinose are in a relationship?"

"Our relationship is not what you think."

"Tsk, you still don't want to admit it? We already have the exact information. The day before yesterday or the day before yesterday, you were dating Class Leader Ichinose in the open-air theater."

"So I've already said it before, Ichinose and I are just ordinary friends... We just watched a simple stage play, that's all, and besides, I invited you guys at that time, too."

"Who dares to disturb your date with the class monitor?"

"..."

Faced with their rogue-like answers, my explanation could only be earnest advice.

After finishing this conversation, we played in the swimming pool for a while and then went to the nearest restaurant to have a meal for lunch. Then Kanzaki and his group went back to the room to rest, and I decided to take a walk on the deck because I was full.

In fact, I came to the deck alone because I had something of my own to consider.

I leaned on the edge of the railing, looking at the boundless sea, and hesitating whether to find out the real structure of the cruise ship, such as the bar and dance hall that ordinary students cannot enter... Of course, it also includes marine pressure gauges and lifeboats.

Although I knew that it was not necessary to investigate the existence and situation of these things when it was just a simple trip, my previous action pattern had been urging my body to complete the necessary inspections.

Maybe I have developed obsessive compulsive disorder after so many training sessions. Although I can still control myself...

Just as I was daydreaming about these things, a woman I had never expected approached me and invited me to talk.

"It's Luo classmate, right? What are you doing here alone?"

"Because I just solved the problem of food and clothing, I want to take a walk here to promote digestion."

“Eh, is that really the case?”

"Of course there are other complicated considerations involved, but what I just said is the main factor that urged me to act... Is there any problem with that?"

"Well, no. But whether it's from what I heard from others or from my own personal feelings, I don't think Luo-san would choose to take a walk."

"why is that?"

"It doesn't seem right to say it directly. If Luo-san really wants to know..."

“It doesn’t feel like a good evaluation if I don’t say it…”

"Haha, it's not that serious. I just really feel that classmate Luo is very lazy."

"At least I'm not so lazy as to stop making progress."

"If that's the case, that's terrible. Are you going to become Beryl? (Note: The Seven Deadly Sins represent laziness)"

"It might not be bad to be Belial. After all, he is one of the Seven Lords of Hell."

I may be able to become the Demon of Sloth, but I have no idea what kind of existence this girl in front of me is.

I don't know what Kikyo Kushida's true personal appearance is like.

Angel? Or demon?

The tenderness on the surface is clearly visible even now, but the dirty curses behind the scenes cannot escape judgment.

After seeing her other side, I also paid attention to her personal movements, but even so, the most I heard was even more obscene than the last time.

The objects of her curses gradually increased as time went by, and each complaint was unclear. Until now, I still haven't figured out what exactly she hates and what she loves.

But at least I understand a little bit about her flaws.

"Come to think of it, I haven't thanked Luo-san properly for the dispute we had with Class C last time."

"It's not a big deal. Even if I didn't say it, she would have stood up for herself. After all, it's for her classmates."

"That kid is actually quite shy... Let's stop chatting here. I have an appointment with the girls from Class C to play together, so Luo-kun will have to stay here alone."

"Well, have fun."

"Then I'm leaving."

We simply said goodbye to each other.

After confirming that Kushida-san had left, I looked out at the sparkling sea again.

The truth in this world is always very despicable.

The so-called lack of spiritual food is an excuse but it is also a fact.

When I picked up the broken bread on the gravel ground, I realized that it was not that I didn't have the courage to turn back, but this kind of stubbornness would not produce the quality of admitting mistakes and correcting them.

I was not tempted by desire, nor was I discouraged by these things.

But I have no choice.

Betrayal is human nature, and only exploitation is the real value.

The most dangerous betrayer is the other side hidden in everyone.

The beginning and end of betrayal is oneself.

However, the only outcome for the betrayer is death.

The connection between the facts is so simple and ridiculous.

I kicked at a piece of gravel that appeared out of nowhere, sinking it completely into the sea.

Just as I was about to act according to my inner thoughts, a sharp and high-pitched sound came from my pocket.

The phone in my pocket, to be exact.

My phone has always been in silent mode. The only things that can override the setting are instructions from the school, such as the email ringtones sent to us when there are changes in activities.

At the same time, a broadcast was heard inside the ship.

[This is to inform all students. The school has just sent an email with contact information to all students. Please check your mobile phone and follow the instructions. In addition, if you have not received the email, please report it to the nearest faculty member. The content is very important, so please do not miss anything in the confirmation.

A new special exam?

Chapter 87: Tenderness like treating a baby

100%

A perfect possession data display is a common completion prompt whether it is a computer system update, important document download or game interface loading.

However, such perfect data can only appear in a virtual world that cannot be grasped by the human body, and is not controlled by the mind.

That is, a virtuality that cannot be experienced personally.

This means that people can never achieve perfection in any event, which is equivalent to the law being unable to eliminate crime. Activities in events can only be done to the best of one's ability, and at most, they are assimilated to one's own thoughts and ideas.

As long as we still live in the second nature, as long as we are still thinking about such questions, people will have to live in society.

In order to survive, you must keep thinking, and thinking will bring competition.

The existence of competition is directly linked to individual ability.

Action ability, thinking ability, teamwork ability...

In order to win and for one's own ends, hypocrisy was born.

That is, 100% away

One's own hypocrisy is a means to achieve one's goals. Don't even think about trying to be true to yourself, because human beings do not have the so-called compassion from the root.

100%

No one is willing to reveal 100% of their inner thoughts to others, even those with families.

Cut off in order to hide?

It's more like it's for more scars.

In the end, what we are competing for is not the perfection of the event, but its degree.

Everyone has their own secrets, so please don't worry too much about the details of whether they are sincere to you.

After all, no one knows whether you are 100%

Still 0%

----------

The fourth underground floor is the switchboard room and other computer rooms, which are not related to students.

The electric sparks generated by the constant contact between the switches are released along with ozone, so the smell around is very unpleasant.

This luxury cruise ship was well prepared in all aspects of system configuration, and its watertight doors and structural fire protection were in place. Although there were some problems with the temporary emergency power supply, the maintenance personnel probably saw that the severity was not serious, so they did not take any maintenance measures.

In addition, although this is a relatively important restricted area, the surrounding security is very lax. There are no cameras installed at the entrance, and even in the lounge inside, there are no signs of any staff coming and going.

If you want to do something secretive, this must be the best place. The only drawback is that there are not a lot of items piled up in the passage, and the partitions used to make the boundaries are not made of sound-absorbing materials. In addition, there are no facilities such as sound-absorbing panels that can eliminate echoes, which means that the sound transmitted may be a bit loud.

"..."

I stepped hard on the plate beneath my feet, and suddenly a heavy "dong, dong" sound echoed in the corridor.

Well, it can’t get to the point where it can be spread out.

Thinking of this, I took out my cell phone to check the signal, but I still couldn't receive it.

I originally wanted to explore the operation settings of the relevant equipment in more detail, but the time displayed on the screen urged me to return to the area where the students should be.

About six hours ago, all of us first-year students received a text message about a major event from the school.

The specific contents are:

[The special exam is about to begin. Please gather in your designated room at the designated time. Those who are late for more than ten minutes will be punished. Please gather in Room 202 on the second floor before 6:00 tonight. It will take about 20 minutes. Please use the restroom, etc., and turn your cell phone to vibrate mode or turn it off before coming to the gathering place.]

The only information we can get is what is given on the surface of the letter. If we have to extract some information, it is that the gathering time and location of individual students will be different. Tonight at 6 o'clock is the fourth time of this gathering action, the earliest is 4:30 and the latest is 9 o'clock.

That is to say, if the purpose of this gathering is to obtain the exam content, then I will be the first person to get the information. This may be an advantage, but it will also attract the attention of others.

We have gone through a special examination activity, the test indicators of which pointed to the action and teamwork ability that people in society should have.

Although I didn't think the school would hold written tests or tests related to physical fitness on this luxury cruise ship, I still made preparations just in case.

After cleaning up the traces I left behind, I turned around and walked up the spiral staircase leading to the second floor.

This road can be said to be the escape route of ordinary buildings. Also, because today's students have developed a habit of waiting for the elevator to arrive rather than taking the stairs, my journey to the designated room was quite lonely.

Or maybe I am a particularly selfish person. When walking up the stairs, I often think about the same question many times. Even if I know the answer and its correctness, I still can't stop thinking.

Every time I took a step, I would go over two steps. Not only me, but other students did the same. So why didn't the designer combine the two steps into one?

Well, that's a stupid question.

After all, people in this world cannot be generalized in some aspects.

Just as I was mocking my own ignorance, the tightly closed door of the first-floor platform was suddenly thrown open, and a figure rushed out.

After confirming that she didn't have any dangerous weapons on her, I let her jump into my arms.

"S-Sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you, are you okay-eh...Luo?"

"Well, since Ichinose is very light, it didn't have any effect on me. But does your forehead hurt?" After saying that, I wanted to reach out my hand and try to rub it, but Ichinose hurriedly blocked it and held it tightly, so I didn't move at all.

"No, I'm fine. I was just a little scared."

"I'm glad you're okay... But next time you open the door, you'd better be gentler. It would be terrible if Ichinose didn't stop in time and fell down the stairs."

"I usually don't use heavy hands when opening a door."

As if afraid that I might have misunderstood something, Ichinose quickly waved his hands to explain himself.

"I understand. It's probably because this door is difficult to open. Otherwise, you wouldn't have rammed your entire body into it. But this violent way of opening a door is indeed rare for Ichinose."

“That’s why I said that…” Not knowing how to explain it any more, Ichinose could only mutter weakly.

"Why did you come to the stairs? Is the elevator out of service?"

"No, the elevator is still operating normally, but there are a lot of people waiting. I was afraid I would miss it in time so I thought of taking the stairs. But I didn't expect the door to be so difficult to open..."

"This kind of door always has this problem... Speaking of being in a hurry, is the gathering time in the text message Ichinose received also six o'clock?"

"Hey, is Luo the same as me?"

"Yeah, otherwise how could someone like me appear here?"

"What about the room?" After hearing that my gathering time was the same, Ichinose couldn't wait to ask for the room number.

"Uh, if I remember correctly, it should be room 202 on the second floor..."
