Class Teacher System

Chapter 62: Against heaven and earth (21)

Even if Zhao An An really did have the desire to marry Qin ‘diamond bachelor’ Cong, her dream was instantly smashed to pieces by Qin Shu’s roar. After it was shattered, she also didn’t dare to complain; she could only continue eating her lunch in grievance.

An awkward silence suddenly spread across the dining table, but this was quickly broken by Teacher Ren: “There are nine of us in total. We will work in pairs to wash the dishes and clean the house. Of course, in order to be fair, your Big Brother Qin and I will each do the work of two people. We will be living here for half a month, so everyone should be self-reliant and work hard for the sake of our livelihoods.”

The students collectively nodded. Ren Zhu then assigned each of them a number: Zhang Hai Tao was No.1, Zhao An An No.2, Peng Fei Qi No.3, Wang Jie Er No.4, Peng Fei Xian No.5, Li Jia Xin No.6, and lastly, Qin Shu No.7. With the 7 of them, the arrangement of boys and girls was just right. “Each day, two people will wash the dishes and also be responsible for cleaning the house. Based on the order, the first day is Zhang Hai Tao and Zhao An An; the second day is Peng Fei Qi and Wang Jie Er; after that is Peng Fei Xian and Li Jia Xin. For Qin Shu, since there’s no No.8, he will pair with Zhang Hai Tao and we’ll start from the beginning again. Does everyone understand?”

The 7 students thought for a moment and nodded. This was a very simple and fair distribution which basically guaranteed that there would be a boy and a girl cleaning each day.

Ren Zhu nodded at them and smiled: “Since you all agree, then I hope I don’t see anyone fail to complete their task because of laziness or because they think they’re delicate. That kind of child will need to receive punishment. Do you all understand?”

Zhang Hai Tao and the others rapidly nodded. Understand! Understand! We might not understand other things, but we certainly understand what punishment is!

Teacher Ren nodded: “Alright, then I’ll take Hai Tao and An An to learn how to wash the dishes. The rest of you can go and rest, or go outside and water the vegetables, or go to the beach and play. You’re all wearing watches. It’s now 1 o’clock. In an hour, we’ll assemble in the vegetable field and go have a look in the mountain on this island.”

As soon as they heard that they could go to the mountain and possibly see prey such as rabbits and pheasants, the children were all very excited. At this moment, only Wang Jie Er, Li Jia Xin and Qin Shu chose to go into the bedroom and rest. Qin Shu expressed that this was to preserve and nurture his spirit. Peng Fei Qi and Peng Fei Xian contemplated for a moment before deciding to go to the beach to collect things. As for Zhang Hai Tao, he went into the bedroom to retrieve his backpack and then sat in the living room. Rummaging through his bag, he fished out a collapsible staff.

Young master Qin: “Wow kid, this staff is pretty good. It’s made out of a special material right? And it’s also electric?”

Zhang Hai Tao nodded with pride: “My grandpa specially ordered this 3 sectioned staff for me. Its length is adjustable, and at critical moments, it can also let out an electric shock enough to stun a dozen people! Whether you’re at home or out travelling, it is an essential item for self-defence! Most importantly, it can be recharged.”

Young master Qin felt that he could also order one of these staffs. The key feature was that it could be recharged; he didn’t have to worry about the battery running out. However: “You need to keep it well. Don’t use the electric shock function unless it’s absolutely necessary. Otherwise, it would be bad if it falls into enemy hands. Have you learnt the staff form?”

Zhang Hai Tao nodded: “Traditional Shaolin staff form.”

“They why were you so weak back then?”

Zhang Hai Tao blushed: “That’s because at that time, I didn’t have much real combat experience! Now, I can definitely fight one against ten!”

Young master Qin decided to hold back his thoughts. Ren Zhu then came out of the kitchen. For Grade 4 students, even if they’re pampered like little princes and princesses, so long as they’re taught a little, then they would also know how to wash the dishes. Seeing the 3 sectioned staff in Zhang Hai Tao’s hand, Ren Zhu immediately nodded his head with satisfaction: “This staff is pretty good.”

Zhang Hai Tao happily laughed and then took out a second electric baton with a charger from his bag. “Teacher, this is for you. My grandpa said that this is a thank you gift for saving me last time.”

Ren Zhu looked at the electric baton that could attack when advancing and defend when retreating. In the end, he gladly accepted it.

At approximately 1:48, the 7 students all conscientiously returned to the living room. The boys looked enviously at Zhang Hai Tao’s staff, and then the Peng family’s two cousins cried out and ran back into the bedroom. When then came out again, they were each holding a large slingshot that was emitting a metallic radiance. “We brought these to shoot at birds! What do you think? Although they’re not as powerful as a staff, but these are long-range weapons! My cousin and I are slingshot experts! Although we can’t shoot with 100% accuracy, but we can definitely hit 8 out of 10 shots! Wang Jie Er, bring a potato here for me to fire! I guarantee that I’ll be able to smash our neighbouring Class 5’s window!”

Peng Fei Qi was then smacked in the head by Teacher Ren: “Let’s see if you can hit a rabbit later.”

Seeing the boys take out their own weapons, the girls were unwilling to back down and also returned to the bedroom. When they came back out, Ren Zhu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the ‘weapons’ in their hands—–

Pepper spray, a loud alarm system and a miniature bomb. These were the 3 standard self-defence items against perverts.

The boys immediately burst out in laughter, but after Zhao An An fiercely roared: “Why don’t you give it a try?!”, they all restrained themselves.

Teacher Ren chuckled: “These are good; carry them with you.” Honestly speaking, he was a little more at ease with all these ‘weapons’.

In the end, Qin Shu was always the one who wanted the finale. He hesitantly glanced at his own brother before returning to the bedroom to take out his secret weapon from his backpack. It was a small metal box about the size of a palm, with a lot of thin holes on the front. It didn’t look like it could cause any harm; but of course, this was only from the perspective of Ren Zhu and Qin Cong.

And when looking at it from the students’ perspective……

Zhang Hai Tao suddenly exclaimed and Peng Fei Qi cried out: “Holy shit! Torrential pear blossom needles!!”

Ren Zhu and young master Qin’s mouth twitched. How did this box look anything like torrential pear blossom needles? However, they were instantly slapped in the face by their own student/little brother. Qin Shu proudly nodded and arrogantly said: “I see you have good tastes.”

Ren Zhu suddenly felt that if the organisation really did come for these children, he didn’t dare to be certain about other classes, but if they wanted to silently take away the children in his class and not pay a price for it, then that was absolutely impossible.

Honestly speaking, his old heart was greatly comforted.

Seeing these children take out one powerful weapon after another, young master Qin suddenly felt that the handgun at his waist was not worth mentioning.

“Alright, everyone carry a full bottle of water. We’ll bring some bamboo baskets and go have a look in the mountain forest on this island. We should be able to find some fruit and a few wild animals to hunt. For the next half a month, we will farm, do the laundry, collect shellfish and make tools in the morning. Then in the afternoon, we will go hunting together. At night, you can write your diary, read a book or do whatever you’re interested in. Writing your diary is a must; when we leave here in half a month, you will realise just how precious your diary is.” Ren Zhu looked at the students and set out the future plan before waving his hand. “Let’s go to the mountain!”

“Oh oh oh! To the mountain!”

“Haha, do you think we’ll be able to see any rabbits?”

“En, there might also be a lot of pretty flowers and delicious fruit.”

“No, I think that compared with these, it’s more important to think about how we’re going to eat the prey we catch. We were already busy washing vegetables and shellfish today. If Teacher also makes us pull chicken feathers or skin a rabbit, then that image is too beautiful…… I don’t dare to look.”

“Yi! Hearing you say that, I suddenly don’t feel so well.”

“Hehe, it can’t be right? Shouldn’t Teacher and Brother Qin handle this matter?”

“Hehe, who knows? In any case, let’s be psychologically prepared for it.”

The Grade 4 Class 4 students excitedly chattered as they followed their teacher into the mountain. The second they stepped into the border of the forest, the people hidden deep in the mountain base were already monitoring them.

“Ah, this is the third group to enter the mountain, right? Which class is it?”

“En, it’s Ren Zhu’s Grade 4 Class 4. 4 boys and 3 girls; their total strength is average. Heh, they’re all children, what strength is there to talk about? Though, one of them is carrying a metal staff and two other boys are carrying special slingshots.”

“They don’t even have a knife?”

“Yes, they don’t even have a knife. At this moment, they have found the grape field and are happily picking the grapes. Oh, Ren Zhu told them not to pick too much and that they could come again tomorrow. Since they don’t have a refrigerator, the grapes will go bad if they pick too much.”

“Hehe, I heard that Ren Zhu has become more and more disobedient recently?”

“Humph, the organisation gave him money and status, but he is still disobedient. He is simply courting death. After we’re done with the children this time, he will definitely be punished.”

The two organisation members chatted as they watched the monitors. Then, a deep voice suddenly came through their headsets.

“There are a total of 10 classes on this island. Our teachers are in charge of 4 of them. Put those 4 classes into the second round. First grab the 42 students in the other 6 classes. One week should be enough to brainwash and hypnotise them. 20 people a day; first group, move out.”

After that, a bunch of different voices carrying the same malice sounded through the headset.

“Yes, Boss.”

At this moment, Ren Zhu suddenly reacted and looked up towards the centre of the mountain. He kept feeling that something bad had happened.

“Teacher! Teacher! Hurry up and come! I found a rabbit here ah ah ah!”

“Li Jia Xin! Don’t shout! You’ll scare the rabbit away!”

“Hurry hurry hurry! Get out of the way! I’ll use my slingshot to shoot it! I guarantee that I’ll let you guys eat roast rabbit meat tonight!”

“…… Miss!! Peng Fei Qi you big talker! Didn’t you say that you were an expert?! The rabbit has completely run away!”

“Cough cough, I said 8 out of 10; not 100%.”

“Yi?!”

“My god! What did I just see?!”

Ren Zhu walked over and saw a few students looking dumbstruck towards a certain direction. Following their gaze, he saw young master Qin leaning against a tree with a proud look on his face, calmly holding the long ears of a struggling grey rabbit in his hand.

“???”

At this moment, Wang Jie Er suddenly shouted: “Teacher Ren! Big Brother Qin is so powerful! Just then, he actually caught the rabbit with his bare hands!! Does he know Qing Gong?!”

Ren Zhu saw that his entire class was looking at a certain arrogant young master with starry eyes. He felt that if he didn’t show his skills now, then his class teacher’s dignity and status would be lost.

At this moment, a pheasant very cooperatively strolled over, its steps valiant and filled with vigour. Being surrounded by the teachers and students, it actually didn’t show any cowardice. Instead, it raised its neck feathers and flapped its wings, making kok kok sounds as it charged towards Zhao An An!

“Aaaaahhhh!” Zhao An An shrieked.

However, in the next second, the pheasant was smacked to the ground with a baton and stirred up a lot of dust. Ren Zhu humphed and calmly stepped forward to pick up the pheasant.

“……”

“Ah ah ah ah ah! Teacher is so handsome!!”

Teacher Ren nodded his head with satisfaction. When a suitable skill is paired with precise judgement, the effect was outstanding.

Young master Qin: “???” I think I just saw that pheasant freeze for a few seconds! Am I seeing things?!
