I was expelled from school at the beginning, but luckily I am the king of endurance.

But they are members of Xia Lai now and have the obligation to help the teacher deal with the problem. Since the teacher has already expressed his position, there is no need to waste time talking nonsense.

"Ready to fight."

Ya waved his hand and gave the order.

On the other side, at the Discipline Committee's camp, an acquaintance that Ya had met in front of the Xialai Building was coordinating the actions of the Discipline Committee members.

"The Abydos people have already entered the battlefield, and there's also a three-person... delinquent girl squad?" Chinatsu fiddled with a terminal displaying battlefield information. "Iori, are we really going to clash with Abydos?"

"Oh, it's so annoying. There are only seven of them at most, and we have a company of soldiers." The silver-haired girl carrying a kar98 rifle said disdainfully. Unlike Kanna, her rifle did not have any scope.

"Wait, the presence of a civilian has been detected. Is that... Sensei?!"

The image on the terminal showed the teacher directing the battle, which made Chinatsu exclaim in amazement. Iori might not know, but having personally experienced the teacher's command, she knew what a qualitative change their combat power could undergo with the teacher's help.

What's more, the teacher represents Xia Lai. This extraordinary organization established by the president of the Federal Student Union has been listed as the first on the list of unrivaled organizations within the Discipline Committee.

"Iori! If the teacher is in Abydos, we must not get into a conflict with them..."

"It's too late. The front line has already exchanged fire. I said Chinatsu is just an adult without a halo. There is nothing to worry about." Iori interrupted Chinatsu. As the action captain of the discipline committee, she has absolute confidence in her own strength.

"...Okay." Chinatsu sighed helplessly. She had already thought about how to start her self-criticism when she got back.

"Hmph, Team 3 and Team 4, follow me into the battlefield!"

In the ruins of Shibaseki Ramen, Mei leaned against a broken wall and continued to fight back against the charging discipline committee members. Without Hoshino to attract fire, she felt the pressure doubled. Fortunately, there was a teacher who continued to direct Nomiya and Futaba to deal with high-threat targets, otherwise she would have been hit by the discipline committee's sniper and lost her combat capability.

"Teacher, the opposing team's captain has joined the battle!" Ayane, who had been monitoring the battlefield with a drone, reported the news when Iori entered. "It seems to be...Ginkei Iori, the captain of Gehenna's operations team."

Hearing this, Futaba felt relieved. Although she had never heard of Iori's name, as long as it wasn't Hina who came in person, it would be fine.

"Baizi, can your drone lock onto her?"

"No, she's moving too fast. The rocket's simple remote control can't keep up with her pace."

Iori in the field moved quickly, dodging Mei's two short shots with just a leap. At the same time, she raised her gun and put her finger on the trigger - this was the first of the three-stage shooting that she had been practicing every day for a year.

"boom!"

A familiar scene, a familiar feeling. Before Ya could retract his right shoulder, he was immediately hit by the bullet, which was infused with some mysterious power.

Ya groaned. The power of this shot was no less than the previous one from Ren Jian, and there were two more bullets of this power.

The second bullet followed, directly shattering the wall where Mei was hiding. Iori leaped again and avoided Serika's attack.

The third bullet hit Ya, who was enduring the pain and had no time to dodge, only felt as if he was hit by a heavy hammer on the chest.

Taking advantage of the impact of the bullet, Ya simply kicked back hard and fell behind a pile of debris, avoiding the bullets from the other discipline committee members.

"Xiaoya! Are you okay?"

The teacher's anxious voice came from the headset. Ya, whose face was pale, took a few breaths and forced himself to suppress the panic caused by the severe pain.

"I...I'm fine."

After she finished speaking, she wiped the cold sweat from her head with her trembling hands. The girl was able to stay awake after taking two shots from Gehenna's advanced combat power. It seemed that she was getting further and further away from the road of endurance.

The Story of Abydos: Chapter 18 The Fisherman Takes Action

After the shooting, Iori realized that the person she had just shot seemed to be a Gehenna student wearing bad girl clothes?

Mei's horns and tail were not hidden at all, and Iori subconsciously thought that a problem student from his academy had run out again.

"Captain Iori! That seems to be the eighth place winner in our freshman competition?"

A first-year discipline committee member recognized Mei, and after hearing what she said, Iori also remembered.

She also attended the game as a guest. When she saw Ya's performance on the field, she specially sent someone to invite her to join the disciplinary committee, but it was later shelved.

I didn't expect to meet her here again, and seeing her wearing bad girl clothes and hanging out with the teacher, Iori's impression of the teacher declined again.

Then she noticed Futaba again. Not to mention the horns on her head, the machine gun in her hand also attracted Iori's attention. It seemed to be the standard machine gun of the Gehenna Discipline Committee.

"Chinatsu, that teacher hasn't come to our Gehenna, right?"

"No, what's wrong?"

That's strange. The teacher has never been to Gehena, but there are so many Gehena students around her. It can't be that the teacher asked someone to cosplay as Gehena's students and asked them to wear bad girl costumes to satisfy his special fetish, right?

Suppressing the distracting thoughts in her mind, Iori discovered that the teacher had actually repelled the attacks of the discipline committee members during the short period of time when she was distracted. Iori's competitive spirit was aroused. She had never encountered such a tough opponent since she became the team leader.

Even a lion uses all its strength to fight a rabbit, so next she will put in all her troops.

On the teacher's side, after repelling another attack from the discipline committee members, the teacher took the time to let Eri drag Mei away from the battlefield, and at the same time used the healing potion dropped by Ayane's drone to restore Mei's physical strength.

[This is a difficult situation.]

Looking back and seeing the dense red dots on the tablet, even the teacher couldn't think of any good solution for a while.

"Huh? This is... Futaba, Nomiya, fire suppressing fire on Iori-san. Ignore the other Judgment Committee members and get her over here!" The teacher flicked his fingers on the tablet and unexpectedly spotted a friendly green dot appear behind the Judgment Committee members. He looked up to estimate the distance and decisively gave the order, "Serika and Shiroko, take cover."

Abydos acted quickly. The firepower from the two machine guns made it difficult for Iori to fight back. She could only keep moving and changing her position. But even so, she was not worried about losing, because... every time she changed her position, she was shortening the distance between her and the teacher!

"Is this what you call an adult? Even if I can't fight back, how are you going to deal with so many of my troops?"

Through the tablet, the teacher could even hear Iori's ridicule towards him, but he didn't care. The situation on the battlefield was developing as he expected. When outnumbered, the best way to turn defeat into victory was to behead.

Although it was risky to use himself as bait, he chose to trust his students.

Without a headset to communicate and unable to receive any instructions, Kannai, lying on the roof of an office building, held his breath and focused on watching the battlefield through the sniper scope.

The green dot on the teacher's tablet is her. After sitting down at the fishing spot she had finally found, she had just cast her rod when she heard the loud explosion of the Shibaseki Ramen Restaurant. Expecting that the captain and the teacher would go to check the situation, Kanna hurriedly put away her fishing gear and rushed to the city center.

The closer the distance, the clearer the sounds of gunfire and explosions. Kanna is clear about her own strength. If the situation is favorable, one more person won't make any difference, but if the situation is unfavorable, she won't cause any trouble even if she goes in.

Instead of letting her appear on the field, it is better to hide her as a hidden chess piece behind the Discipline Committee.

On the field, Iori was getting closer and closer to her target, and when she got close to the teacher, Kanna pulled the trigger.

The teacher was only one step away from her, and she could catch him as long as she stretched out her hand. Thinking of this, Iori gradually became excited. She could not understand why Chinatsu valued the teacher so much, but for her, anyone who hindered the actions of the Discipline Committee was an enemy.

[Almost there, we’ll catch the teacher soon!]

Iori's hand had even touched the corner of the teacher's clothes, but then she felt a heavy blow on the back of her head. The powerful impact forced her to fall forward with an unstable center of gravity. In the corner of her eye, Eri and Mei, who had barely recovered her strength, pounced on her, and the teacher didn't even make a move to dodge.

[when?!]

With doubts, Iori was pressed to the ground by Mei and Eri.

With no one leading the team, the remaining discipline committee members were not a concern. Under the suppression of Futaba and Nomiya, Shirako and Serika quickly repelled their general attack.

"Iori? Iori!"

Chinatsu kept calling out to Iori, but the teacher's voice came from the headset: "Chinatsu-san?"

"Ah, teacher... I didn't expect to see you again in this way." Hearing the teacher's voice, Chinatsu knew that Iori had failed. "We should have retreated when we discovered the teacher, because there was no chance of winning... It was our mistake."

[No, if it weren’t for Kanna’s effort, you would have won.]

The teacher internally rejected Chinatsu's suggestion, but naturally, he couldn't show it on the surface. He couldn't boost others' morale while diminishing his own, right? Regardless of the Discipline Committee's purpose, it was always beneficial to establish a stronger image for his own side.

Chinatsu brought the discipline committee members from the rear to the field. Now that things had come to this, there was no need to hide it any longer. It would be better to be honest. Maybe she could even restore her impression in the teacher's mind.

"I'm Ayane Osora from the Abydos Countermeasures Committee. Please let me know which department you belong to." Ayane's voice came from the hovering drone. Now that the battle is over and the Discipline Committee has not captured the people of Abydos, it is time to move on to the diplomatic stage.

Chinatsu was about to speak when she was interrupted by the communication.

"Let me answer that." The terminal in Chinatsu's hand projected a figure with long, silky hair. "Hello everyone from Abydos, and a few former Gehenna students. I'm Ayako Amame, an administrative officer of the Gehenna Discipline Committee. Please allow me to explain the current situation, okay?"

"Yaya?" Iori, who was captured by Eri and Mei, became excited, but was quickly held down again.

"Classmates, can you please let her go first? Iori, the template for the apology letter is in the drawer on the left side of my desk. You should know it, right?"

Mei and Eri curled their lips. They were no longer Gehenna's students, so how could they obey the orders of this administrator? However, at the teacher's signal, the two reluctantly let go of her hand.

"Okay, now let's talk about it."

PS: The contract was signed successfully, and my health has improved a lot, so I will resume posting twice a day today.

The Story of Abydos: Chapter 19: Confrontation

"Talk? What do you want to talk about?" Bai Zi asked cautiously.

The appearance of a new figure made the situation on the field unpredictable again, but if it was possible to negotiate, it would be better not to take action. After all, Abydos was already at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, and they could not guarantee that the Disciplinary Committee had not prepared reserve forces.

The projection of Yazi didn't answer directly. Instead, she confirmed the information with everyone: "I heard that the only one left in Abydos is the student union. That should be you, right? As far as I know, there are five student union members in Abydos. Where is the other one?"

"The president is not here right now, and administrator, we are not the student union, but the countermeasures committee." Ayane's voice came from the loudspeaker on the drone. Although they didn't know why the other party thought they were members of the student union, it was still necessary to explain clearly.

"Hmm... you're Miss Okura, right? So aren't the student council officers here? I'd like to speak with your student council."

"The Abydos Student Union was disbanded a long time ago. Now we are actually handling affairs on their behalf, so if you have anything to say, just tell us directly!"

"I see. Anyway, I apologize to everyone for my mismanagement of my subordinates just now."

The sudden apology from the projected Yazi left everyone somewhat bewildered, but judging from the tone, this apology seemed more formal than sincere.

"Huh? Yaya! I just did what was written in the order?!"

Well, even if it was just a formal apology, some people on the Discipline Committee side were dissatisfied.

"Iori, is this Gehenna?"

"Uh, no."

"We definitely need to be more careful around other colleges' self-managed areas."

[Huh? Did she do that on purpose?]

Ya, who was listening in, seemed to have grasped something in his mind. The Disciplinary Committee had all kinds of information about Abydos, and even knew that there were only five people left in Abydos. If they wanted to attack Abydos, they should have done it long ago.

And if it is a convenience house, if they want to capture it, the convenience house probably cannot escape from the self-governing area of ​​Gehena. Now that so many troops have been sent here, it is obvious that the target will not be just the convenience house. So, excluding these factors, the new variables of Abydos are... the teacher and Xia Lai?

"Everyone on the Countermeasures Committee, I'm truly sorry. The Discipline Committee is here to apprehend those who violate the rules within Gehenna. While there have been some disagreements, it hasn't been considered illegal at this point... I hope you all understand the urgency of the situation. I beg your support in maintaining discipline."

Yazi was still talking, but to Ya, who had grasped the core point, these words were just polite remarks to cover up the real purpose of the Disciplinary Committee. Even if the people of Abydos really cooperated with them to take over the convenience house, the Disciplinary Committee would still turn against them in the end.

Or they could simply offer Abydos conditions that it could not accept, forcing Abydos to fire the first shot so that they could "fight back in self-defense."

After figuring out the key points, Ya unconsciously tightened the grip of the gun in his hand. The person who came here did not have good intentions.

"As I just said... I'm afraid we can't do this!"

It seemed that Ayane had chosen to reject him outright. Mei admired her courage. If she had chosen to resist like Ayane when she was expelled from Pandemonium, perhaps the outcome would have been different. The girl took a deep breath, adjusting her body and preparing for a fierce battle.

"A large academy like Gehenna actually openly used force and launched tactical operations in a small academy like ours. This is a clear violation of the regulations on autonomy! What to do with the convenience house should be decided by us!"

"So, you're unafraid of such a massive force... because you have someone you trust to rely on? Isn't that right, Sensei?"

As Ya expected, the administrator finally stopped hiding his purpose.

"Teacher Xia Lai, do you also agree with the Countermeasures Committee?"

As Yazi spoke, everyone's attention was focused on the teacher. As an adult, the teacher watched the children's diplomatic performance with great interest.

But since the topic has come up with him, I have to say it: "The children in the convenience house are a bunch of idiots, but they are not bad people."

"Huh? They blew up the ramen shop!"

Obviously, Qinxiang did not agree with the teacher's opinion, but the clever Mei quickly understood what the teacher meant, and the stereotype of Convenience House 68 in her heart was strengthened.

"I think they probably accidentally blew up the ramen shop, and then they were too embarrassed to admit it, so they had to bluff and act like gangsters."

Mei concluded this while recalling what she knew about Alu's deeds.

Bai Zi added, "Well, if they were targeting us, there would be no need to blow up the ramen shop when there were no customers. This would only make us more alert, and the plan wouldn't work next time."

"If you think about it carefully... how stupid are they to accidentally detonate the trap while setting it?" Serika complained. But even so, there are some things that cannot be compromised. "No matter what, it's a fact that the convenience store attacked the ramen shop, and we won't hand them over to you!"

"So, Gehenna's Discipline Committee, in the name of the Abydos Countermeasures Committee, I demand that you evacuate the self-governing area of ​​Abydos!"

Ayane issued an ultimatum, but Ako looked like she had expected it.

"I really didn't want things to turn out like this... We were going to resolve this peacefully, but now it's come to this...

"Hmm? Everyone at the convenience store, do you want to continue eavesdropping?"

The four of them came out from the other side of the ruins. Judging from Alu's expression, their plan to sneak away must have failed.

"Oh, Alu-chan, we've been discovered." Mutsuki comforted Alu in his own way without any concern, but it was obvious that Alu could not be relied upon in this situation.

Without even a moment's mourning for Alu's loss of composure, the next to appear is...

The convenience house has an external brain, the ghost Kayoko!
