Capítulo 19: Chapter 19: A Person Must Rely On Themselves
For Hirata, who was bursting with friends, Ying Ye Zhenshi didn't care for his show of concern.
With so many friends around him, who could Ying Ye Zhenshi ever be to him?
'Making a friend or something… can it be that easy? Is an easy friend even a real friend?'
After finishing his meal, he went on a walk for a short while to digest it and then went on a jog.
After having sweated profusely, Ying Ye Zhenshi didn't stay out for too long and went back to his room.
Once back, he started to lift dumbbells to train his muscles.
The happenings of the day needed to be vented, and the way he would vent was by exercising.
"A person must rely on themselves. All failures are caused by the lack of one's own ability. A person can solve anything and everything so long as they are competent enough. Without friends, one can still excel."
Handling the weights and the various other newly purchased equipment had Ying Ye Zhenshi sweating all over.
His thin waist which appeared like that of a merman was sexy, and his figure appeared to embody the golden ratio for a man.
It could be seen that his core strength was amazing, and his endurance was also extraordinary, which alone would have been enough to attract the attention of countless people.
His eight-pack abs were clearly defined, his shoulders were somewhat broad but not overbearing, with a big flat chest sitting atop a V-tapered torso, and developed and defined legs.
His whole body had been trained for a long time, but it was not the physique of a purely muscular man, but the figure of someone who had worked on building the potential of the muscles he was blessed with.
Ying Ye Zhenshi stretched his hands behind him and flexed.
The muscular contours on his arms prevented the white shirt he wore from fully covering his upper body.
The white shirt seemed to be screaming as if it would rip apart at any moment.
After completing his daily exercise regimen, he entered his 'rest and stretch' period and then took a refreshing bath.
Warm water flowed all over his body, rinsing his sun-kissed body that was full of the gunk and sweat from his training earlier.
The tendrils of his black hair were fine and smooth, and Ying Ye Zhenshi habitually let himself go while taking a shower.
Not staying in the bathroom for long, Ying Ye Zhenshi returned to his room and dried his hair.
"Let's just observe for a few more days."
After coming to a decision, Ying Ye Zhenshi got into bed once his hair had all dried up.
"To another day full of expectations…"
***
The sunlight shone into the room through the window and landed upon Ying Ye Zhenshi's face, cussing him to wake up instantly and get out of bed without trouble.
He didn't stay up late, nor did he stick around under the covers once he woke up, and his biological clock was very routine.
After washing up, he left the dormitory while playing with his grip strength trainer, had breakfast, and then made his way to class.
He didn't skip class like yesterday, and he listened to the teachers attentively just as any other good student would.
Even if he was playing with the grip strengthener, he was a lot better than many other students.
During the lunch break, he made his way to the student council office after having his lunch.
The three senpais from the second years' class A whom he had never met before had been waiting here for a while.
Beside them were the student council president, Horikita Manabu, the cute purple-haired secretary-senpai Tachibana Akane, and the second-year gold-haired student council vice-president Nagumo Miyabi.
Naturally, the first thing he did was introduce himself.
"I am Ying Ye Zhenshi. Nice to meet you."
Ying Ye Zhenshi said with a smile.
Looking at the three second-year students before him, his relaxed demeanour made the three feel shame and embarrassment.
They stared at Ying Ye Zhenshi fiercely with their eyes full of palpable hostility.
If looks could kill, he might have been buried six feet under already.
"First-year student. On behalf of my classmates, I'm really sorry. People in my class have spoken nonsense."
Horikita Manabu didn't bother to speak, and Nagumo Miyabi took charge of the apology.
He then looked at the three remorseless second-year senpais.
Anyone can tell that they were obviously dissatisfied, but they had to obey in the face of the student council president and vice.
"You still haven't apologised?"
Vice President Nagumo was naturally the most supreme figure in the second year.
With just a few words, he turned the three second-year senpais into a bunch of obedient kids.
"Sorry, we shouldn't have talked nonsense."
"The students from Class D are not 'flawed products'. We just spoke some nonsense in the heat of the moment."
"I'm sorry, kouhai Ying Ye Zhenshi."
Even while reluctant, the three still bowed and apologised directly to Ying Ye Zhenshi.
At least they dare not mess their apology up on the surface.
"Senpais are being too polite. Since you have apologised, I will forgive you."
As if unable to see the anger in their eyes, Ying Ye Zhenshi responded with a smile.
"Ying Ye-san, I heard that you wished to receive some compensation. Although it is not much, these 30,000 points can be considered to be the compensation for you on their behalf. Please accept it."
Nagumo watched Ying Ye Zhenshi's reaction as he took out the points from his own pocket.
Even if the other individuals in the rooms had their opinions on such a move, it was too late.
"Then, thank you, senpai."
Regarding the things delivered to his door, as long as they were harmless, Ying Ye Zhenshi would dare not refuse to take them.
Straightforwardly taking the 30,000 points would allow his balance to grow again, keeping it at more than 100,000.
And on the topic of the apology, it was resolved in a very harmonious manner.
With regards to the matter of his joining the student council, Horikita Manabu didn't bring it up again in front of Nagumo Miyabi.
So, Ying Ye Zhenshi left right after.
And when he got back, he found that class D still looked as shitty as ever.
It made him wonder if this class could even be saved.
He sat on his seat and listened to the hustle and bustle of his classmates.
While doing so, Ying Ye Zhenshi thought about how to cut his losses short.

Capítulo 20: Chapter 20: Choice To Make / Class C’s Kakeru Ryuuen
Finding himself thrown into such a class, knowing how to cut his losses short and letting his profits run should also have been one of the school's assessment criteria.
Ying Ye Zhenshi seemed to have figured out how the school was run.
At the same time, he paid close attention to the students in his class.
All they did was eat, drink, play with their mobile phones, sleep in class, talk loudly, and the list went on.
They did not respect the rules at all, and openly treated the classroom as their homes, or literally treated themselves as the school's grandfathers. [T/N: In China, Grandfathers are respected.]
'If I don't do anything to stop this, the class points will be deducted. And by the next month, we probably won't even have a dime to our names.'
If Ying Ye Zhenshi was on the school administrative board, no one here would receive any points.
This was not a guess on his part, but a fact.
And without a source of points, even if Ying Ye Zhenshi saved his current points, 100,000 points would only last for a few months.
In addition to the class points, the only other option, which was also a long-term plan to acquire points, was to join the student council.
There he would receive 100,000 a month, which would be enough for his monthly expenses, but the competition and infighting associated with being a part of the council would probably be very intense and troublesome.
While thinking about the future, he thought over his options.
'Should I announce what I have found out? Then I can have my classmates here study hard and slowly make some progress towards correcting our behaviour one day at a time… Or should I just think of some other ways?'
For three consecutive days, Ying Ye Zhenshi essentially only reflected on the circumstances he found himself in.
Of course, because he spent much of his time thinking, he had successfully alienated himself from the rest of the class.
It was the complete opposite of what he had first planned to do when enrolling at the school.
Now, except occasionally, when the determined and cute girl and his 'kind' classmate Hirata came to talk to him, no one paid attention to him, and he inevitably became one of the loners in the class.
Besides reflecting on his options, and in addition the the information he had accrued on the first day of school about the points system, he also collected some important information over the next few days.
The most valuable thing he had learned was that not everyone in the school would be offered the 100% employment rate in whichever further study course their graduating counterparts chose to pursue, while also having relevant tuition fees and living expenses waived.
This was only the case for class A.
The so-called 100% employment rate actually ignored those who didn't deserve it.
For the students of the other classes, an interview for the university would still need to be done, and entrance exams would need to be taken.
Benefitting from this perk of the school still required one to have the ability to perform.
It was almost as he thought- so long as the inappropriate and undeserved people were screened out, the rest would basically make up the quota for the 100% employment rate perk.
After getting to know the inside story of this school, Ying Ye Zhenshi gave up announcing his findings to the class and became disillusioned with the need to be sociable.
In the past few days, he had also come to realise that as far as the reaction of the students in his class was concerned, even if he announced his findings, there would be no net benefits and promising end results.
In fact, he guessed that they would behave as well as they could for a few days, and then they'd revert back to their 'it is what it is' mindset, with some people even holding a grudge against him.
By making his findings known to the class, the dissatisfaction about the rules would fall upon him, making Ying Ye Zhenshi the one to 'disrupt the harmony of the class'.
And then he'd find himself in some hot waters.
Unless, like Ryuuen Kakeru from class C, who used violence to solve the issue regarding the power and authority in his class and to rule over them, he also used such domineering tactics against his classmates, there was no hope of managing such a difficult bunch of children, and there would always be that one person dragging the class down.
As for using violence against the class like Ryuuen, he didn't even think about it.
As far as this class was concerned, Ying Ye Zhenshi felt that he would probably be expelled for his blatant display of force.
And the first person who would choose to oppose him would be that 'friend' of his in his contacts, Hirata-kun.
'Humans, we should just revert to monké.'
Class C—
Although not completely obedient, everyone in the class now mostly deferred to Ryuuen Kakeru's words.
Even the tall black guy in their class was the same.
He had been troubled by Ryuuen to the point that he eventually recognised his ability and chose to be subordinate to him.
"What? I don't have time for you, class D kid."
Ryuuen Kakeru gave off a special vibe that only ever radiated from cliché bad guys.
And Ying Ye Zhenshi sat calmly behind a desk in their class, looking head-on at the infamous delinquent.
"First of all, congratulations to you for becoming the leader of Class C. Anyway, the purpose of my visit to your class today is to sell you some information and to make a deal with Class C, and you, Ryuuen Kakeru."
Ying Ye Zhenshi had already come to a decision on how to best secure his own interests.
Since his classmates were unreliable, he would just have to earn points himself.
After all, he already knew that private points could buy 'everything' in this school.
"This can be discussed."
Although his expression still appeared irate, Ryuuen Kakeru was not as frenzied as earlier.
"Before the transaction, I'll tell you some information as a taster. Let me sort through it all in my head. What should I tell you first? You should know what this school advertised about itself in regards to the 100% employment rate, right?"
Ying Ye Zhenshi thought about what to divulge and then paused for a moment before speaking.
"Which idiot that enrolled here wouldn't know that? Are you talking a bunch of nonsense now?"
Ryuuen Kakeru responded.
"That's good. Then, I'll make a long story short. To put it simply, only students who graduate from class A in each year group are eligible for the 100% employment rate perk. There is no such perk for graduating as a B, C, or D class student."
Ying Ye Zhenshi spoke frankly.
"I always knew something was up with this school since a while ago."
Ryuuen forcefully replied, but his face had turned a little sour.
He certainly had known something was up with the school from the first day, otherwise, he wouldn't have taken charge of the class so openly.
In fact, some of the credit could be attributed to his homeroom teacher for recognising the oddities of the school.
"But what you don't know is that each of our classes is being evaluated. The A, B, C and D classes are all level right now, but it will be different from next month onwards. All this is based on our performance this month. And as long as our evaluation is better than that of the other classes, we may have a chance of becoming Class A. That's what I know."
Ying Ye Zhenshi said.
One wouldn't know just how many teachers and third-year senpais he had harassed in order to find out all this information.
He only mentioned the inter-class competition side of things, but he didn't mention the fact that his class D was destined to be the worst of the lot.
However, as long as the other classes carried out an investigation, this would be made clear.
Class D's imprudence could not be hidden at all.
