"Ah, what do you mean?"
Ying Ye Zhenshi asked knowingly.
"Just tell me whatever it is that you know."
Knowing he was playing around, Chabashira Sae became upset.
Seeing the annoyed look on her face, Ying Ye Zhenshi smiled.
After all, his teacher had hidden all these things from him too.
"I don't know much, but I sort of know that next month we won't be receiving 100,000 points. In addition, there will be competition between the four first-year classes, and only those who graduate from Class A will get special treatment from the school. Oh, and that the points we get each month can be used to buy many things. Stuff like that."
Just that much news was enough to amaze Sae, who had only begun teaching her new class for a few days now.
Moreover, the school had already blocked the news from leaking, and yet he knew so much, even when she herself hadn't revealed anything yet.
So all his information had come from other students or teachers.
This made Chabashira Sae very disturbed.
He was obviously from her class, but in the end, he hadn't even asked her about any of this info.
"I really didn't expect you to learn so much in such a short time. So, why didn't you mention it?"
She fully acknowledged his knowledge, seeking skills, but wondered why the information had not yet been passed around.
"What do you mean?"
Ying Ye Zhenshi asked.
He had a weird look on his face as he asked back.
"Don't you intend to have Class D compete with the other classes? Don't you want to be a student in Class A?"
Chabashira Sae spoke frankly.
And what she got back was Ying Ye Zhenshi's speechless expression.
"Have them compete? Why would I make them compete? You don't think I will be fooled by you into leading them, do you? You really are a flawed product, Chabashira sensei."
Lying on the bed, he stared into the eyes of the cold teacher in front of him.
Ying Ye Zhenshi had already judged that the woman in question had some sort of problem.
"Defective?"
Sae didn't want to hear such words coming from him.
Back then, she had got to Class B, and even almost graduated from Class A.
"What would you know?"
"I wouldn't know much, but I for sure know that no matter what class you graduated from, if you have the ability, you have the ability, and if you don't have the ability, you don't have the ability. Do you think it's fair for the current members of Class D that they become members of Class A and then graduate with all the school's perks? At least, from what I have seen thus far, I don't see many of the students in this class being worthy of becoming students of Class A."
Ying Ye Zhenshi stared at Sae, as if he knew she had a lot of stories to tell, but unfortunately, he didn't have any wine on him, nor did he want to hear her stories.
So he didn't bother asking her about it, as it would make the situation even more troublesome when one became curious.
"People must rely on themselves. If they want to, they can fight on their own. Sensei, if you really want to lead them to graduating from Class A, why don't you do it yourself? Just like the teachers from the other classes, use some specific words to jolt them in the right direction. You should communicate that well to them, but you don't. Is it that you look down on them? Or do you think they don't have the ability? You look down on them, and so do they on themselves. If they want it for themselves, they will fight on their own after learning the information, so you don't have to worry about anything. The most important thing is that you have no right to accuse me of concealing information, Chabashira sensei. Maybe you want to stimulate them and let them know what it means to be brave after learning of the shame of failure, but your wishes from the past have nothing to do with me. We are two different people~. Don't throw things that you don't think you can accomplish yourself to your students. I am still just a child!! Although there may be some other secrets I am not privy to, based on your complaints, there is no doubt in my mind that, sensei, you are a defective product too, so please recognise the reality of your circumstances. There's nothing wrong with being a defective product. Just take this lesson from me. I accepted that I have problems early on."
"You...!"
Seeing his straight gaze, and the words that rolled out of his mouth one after another, Chabashira Sae's heart ached unceasingly.
She wanted to interject, but was blocked from doing so as soon as she opened her mouth.
She stood in front of her student as if everything about her aspirations and past had been seen through, and everything lay in the open.
"Chabashira sensei, I'm going to rest now. Even if you're not a good teacher, you should know not to disturb a patient's rest. If there's anything the matter, we can talk about it another time."
Ying Ye Zhenshi spoke first.
"Okay. I really didn't expect that there would be such a person in my class who pulled the wool over my eyes. I truly underestimated you."
Chabashira Sae's look of "I will be watching you from now on " was a bit scary.
"If you need anything, you can contact me."
Before leaving, she left a word of advice.
"...What a hassle. I have troublesome classmates, and now a troublesome teacher too.
After Sae left, Ying Ye Zhenshi let out a deep breath.
He had not yet sorted the issue of the students who had problems with him, and yet another teacher with a problem came knocking at his doorstep.
He felt that the future for Class D was very bleak.
With such thoughts in mind, Ying Ye Zhenshi fell into a deep sleep.
He had long been used to being injured, so this incident didn't affect his sleep one bit.
The next day arrived as usual, and the sun's rising was not affected by what had happened yesterday.
What's more, many students hadn't even heard about what had happened yesterday.
And Class D had directly lost two of their students.
Kushida Kikyo had been looking at her phone since the first lesson had started.
From time to time, she would look at the two vacant seats in the class.
'What's going on here? Neither of the two came to school today?'
She kept sending messages to ask the two of them what happened, but neither of them replied, nor were they answering her phone calls.
Not only was Kushida Kikyo concerned, but even Ike Kanji and the others who sat behind her were very 'concerned' about Ying Ye Zhenshi's absence.
