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

When they came to their senses, Hinata actually bent down and apologized to everyone, which was completely different from her previous attitude.

[Is it because of Hoshino?]

As Mei was thinking this, Iori and Chinatsu on the opposite side were not surprised and at a loss. In their impression, Hina, who had always been an extremely tough girl, would actually bow to a weak academy like Abydos. It was really beyond their imagination.

"Iori, gather your forces, we're retreating. Ah, Sensei, if you don't mind, could you please talk to me alone?"

The teacher thought for a moment and agreed to Hina's invitation. As the teacher and Hina walked away, the discipline committee members withdrew from the scene in an orderly manner under the organization of Iori.

"I didn't expect that the Discipline Committee Chairman would actually bend down to apologize..." Eri looked frightened. After all, she was facing a powerful character like the legendary Gehenna. Eri had thought more than once about whether to abandon her teacher and run away by herself. Fortunately, Hina's unexpected apology prevented her plan from being put into practice.

"All the forces of the Discipline Committee were moving at full speed towards the outskirts of Abydos... but they have disappeared."

Ayane used a drone to confirm the movements of the discipline committee members, and the farce caused by Ako came to an end.

"Wow~ In the end, uncle, I still don't understand the situation. What's going on?" Well, poor acting, at least that's what Mei, who saw Hoshino's private meeting with the black-salted egg-head, thought. But Hoshino didn't realize it, just stretched as usual, "Well, I'll leave the follow-up to you guys. Uncle, I don't think I got enough sleep~"

"Senior Hoshino is so irresponsible!"

"It can't be helped. This is what happens when you get older. Please, Serika-chan, be more understanding~"

"Everyone please disperse first. Gather in the activity room tomorrow. I have something to tell you." The teacher, who had just returned from a private conversation with Hina, announced the disbanding of the group. He still needed to deal with the finishing touches. Although Hina promised that all losses caused would be borne by the Discipline Committee, appeasing the citizens was also a troublesome task.

"Oh, by the way, Xiaoya, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, thanks to the medical supplies Ayane provided. Um, teacher..." Mei thought for a moment, then waved her hand downwards, signaling the teacher to bend down.

Leaning close to the teacher's ear, Mei whispered to the teacher about how she had followed Hoshino.

Everyone's attention was not here, no one heard what Mei said to the teacher. Even Eri, who saw their interaction, just smiled knowingly... She might have thought of something wrong.

"Captain Mei, how is it?" Mei had just finished her report when Eri put her hand on her shoulder with a smirk on her face.

Ya was confused by her question: "What's going on?"

"Teacher! You've even whispered to him, what do you think of him..."

"Stop making trouble, I want to talk to the teacher about serious matters."

"Oh, what serious business is there to talk about in secret? This isn't illegal. Besides, we've done a lot of illegal things. Captain Xiaoya, don't worry. I'll help you catch the teacher."

"Hey you..."

Hearing the conversation, Futaba turned around. Who doesn't gossip, especially about her captain? Thinking of the scene she had seen on the mysterious website before, Futaba looked mysterious. She patted her chest and said to Ya, "Do you like the teacher? Xiaoya, I will teach you. You can do this at night..."

"No, Futaba..."

Before she could even say anything in defense, Mei felt someone pat her shoulder again. Turning around, she saw Kanna giving her a thumbs-up: "Keep it up, Captain."

"Why are you like this, Kanna?" Now even if he jumped into Kanna's fishing pond, he couldn't wash himself clean.

Ya looked up at the sky speechlessly. The more she talked about it, the worse it got. Besides, it was not a good idea to publicize the fact that she was following Hoshino. So she obeyed. They should forget about it in a few days, right?

The Story of Abydos: Chapter 23: The Smallest Autonomous District in History - Abydos

The chaos ended just like that, but the finishing work was indeed a heavy burden.

Abydos, which was already short of staff, was stretched to the limit in terms of pacifying the citizens and organizing reconstruction, and had to outsource some work to Xialai.

But the only people Xialai has in Abydos right now are...

"So we are just unpaid cattle and horses, aren't we?"

Eri, who was wearing a hard hat and directing the engineering team, took the time to complain.

"Haha, Eri-san, you're joking. This was an unexpected incident, so there will be additional compensation."

The teacher operated a few times on the tablet, and a remittance of 10,000 yuan was added to Mei and her friends' Xia Lai exclusive account. Eri's expression instantly brightened, and her evaluation of the teacher increased a little bit in her heart.

Although she had thought of selling out her teacher to escape not long ago, it didn't matter anymore, as long as she got the money.

Ya Ze carried a basket of fruit to a nearby hospital, which was mostly populated by people injured in the conflict. Fortunately, there were not many people at the scene of the conflict at that time. Apart from the main victim, General Chai, there were only a few passers-by.

After conveying the compensation money one by one, Ya pushed open the door of a ward, and lying inside were General Chai and the Abydos students who came to visit him.

Mei had a very good impression of Shiba Daisho, especially Shiba Daisho's ramen, which was simply the best thing she had ever eaten. She felt deeply sorry for the destruction of Shiba Daisho's ramen shop, but unfortunately she had to be frugal even with her daily expenses.

Even more tragically, it wasn't the Discipline Committee that blew up the ramen shop, but Convenience House 68. So the Discipline Committee won't cover the cost, and Convenience House 68...they slipped away and haven't been heard from since.

"I'm sorry, Qinxiang, but I can't have you working here anymore." General Chai, who was lying on the hospital bed, didn't blame Abydos for any lack of supervision. Everyone saw how hard the five Abydos children worked to maintain order in Abydos, and there was no point in criticizing them now. "Besides, I've received an order from the owner to suspend business and relocate. At my age, it's time for me to retire."

"Close down and move? But we haven't issued such an order." Ayane asked doubtfully. The Abydos Student Union has ceased operations, and the current administrative body of the Abydos Self-Governing Area is actually the Countermeasures Committee, but Ayane doesn't remember issuing any order for Shibaseki Ramen to close down and move.

"Ah, you don't know about this, right? That was several years ago. At that time, the Abydos Student Union transferred all the land ownership of Abydos in order to repay its debts." General Chai explained slowly. The Countermeasures Committee was only established this year. It was normal that Ayane and the others didn't know about this. After all, Abydos had moved several times to avoid sandstorms, and it was not surprising that some documents were lost along the way.

When General Chai was telling the story, the teacher who had finished the reconstruction work at the scene also pushed the door in. He happened to hear General Chai's story, and combined with the information revealed to him by Hina, the teacher had a guess.

"General, the current owner of the land of Abydos is the Caesar Group, right?"

"Yes, teacher. I don't know much about contracts, but when I signed the contract, it seemed to have this name written on it."

[As expected.]

Mei's report on Hoshino's movements, Ako's attitude towards Abydos, the intelligence revealed by Hina, and the key information mentioned by General Chai were all connected in the teacher's mind. The teacher figured out why a joint venture like Caesar Group dared to hire militants to attack a political entity like Abydos.

"Teacher, is there something wrong?" Ayane asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, Bud!"

The teacher called out hurriedly.

"Ah? Ah! I'm here."

"General Chai, I'll leave this place to you. I have to rush back to Xialai to take care of some urgent matters."

"Ok."

The teacher hurried out of the ward. He now had to race against time because he didn't know how long it would take to apply for the regularization of an illegal society with the Federal Student Union. He hoped that he would make it in time.

The Student Union of Abydos has ceased operations, but the establishment of college clubs needs to be reported to the Federal Student Union through the Student Union.

In other words, without the approval of the Countermeasures Committee of the Abydos Student Union, its current nature is the same as Convenience House 68, both of which are illegal organizations!

If it weren't for the student council president Hoshino, Abydos would have been disbanded, and Caesar would have had ample reason to personally annex the last piece of land of Abydos Academy - the main campus of Abydos.

It would be useless for Ayane and the others to protest at that time, because the Countermeasures Committee is an illegal organization and has no right to represent the academy.

And now, an unknown person has contacted Hoshino. The teacher cannot guarantee whether the black-braised egg that Ya mentioned is from the Caesar Group, but if the Caesar Group seizes the opportunity to deceive Hoshino... Abydos will be completely finished.

[No wonder Ako said from the beginning that she wanted to find the Student Union of Abydos, no wonder...]

"Alona, ​​help me contact the acting president of the Federation Student Union, Qi Shenlin."

"Okay, teacher, I'm calling..."

"Hello? Is this the teacher?"

Soon, Rin's voice came from the tablet.

"Rin! Help me draft a club application, quick!"

Rin in the office on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment. This time the teacher actually called her by her name instead of "Rin-chan" as usual, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

But she was, after all, the acting president and administrator of the Federal Student Union, the person with the highest authority in Kivotos besides the teachers, so she quickly adjusted her mindset: "Okay, teacher, the club application will be approved within a week..."

"I'm out of time, Rin. Could you please give me some special permission to use Xia Lai's authority?"

Lin, who was reviewing documents, put down her pen after hearing the teacher's request. The president had given Xia Lai and the teacher the power, and even she was the acting president, she had to obey. However...

Looking at the piles of documents waiting to be reviewed, she has to stay up late to work overtime again today.

"Teacher, tell me the club information and I'll kick you out tonight."

"Thank you so much, Rin-chan! The name of the club is the Abydos School Closure Countermeasures Committee..."

Rin wrote very quickly and quickly recorded the information the teacher reported on the white paper. Rin was so focused that she even ignored the teacher calling her "Rin-chan" again.

"Okay, that's all. I'll be at the Federal Student Union around 8 tonight. Thank you for your hard work, Rin-chan."

"It's okay, teacher. It's my duty to assist you with your work."

After hanging up the phone, Rin had time to think.

[Abydos? That declining institution...]

The Story of Abydos: Chapter 24: Nomiya's Request

At dawn, the teacher appeared at the gate of Abydos school with a backpack on his back.

Yesterday, after he returned to the Federal Student Union, he worked overtime with Lin and finally completed the expedited approval process before midnight. After seeing Lin burning the midnight oil to work on the work that was delayed due to the club application, the teacher, feeling sorry for her, took the initiative to stay and help her with the documents. They were busy until three o'clock before they finished.

It was too late to sleep at this time. The teacher quickly washed up and got on the train to Abydos. Fortunately, Alona updated the map after he got lost last time, so he didn't get lost for two days again.

So, the teacher, who had simply taken a nap for two hours on the train, stood at the school gate in Abydos with a sleepy face.

Ah, I just happened to run into Nomiya who got up early to go to school.

"Teacher, good morning!" Nomiya greeted the teacher with a smile, but then she noticed the teacher's dark circles. "Ah, teacher, how are you?"

"It's Nomiya. Good morning, I'm fine." The teacher yawned. It was just an all-nighter, he could handle it. "By the way, why didn't Nomiya go to see Master Chai?"

Nomiya paused, as if hesitating about something. After a moment's thought, she finally spoke, "I'm worried that too many people will rush into the hospital and disturb the patients' rest... But, teacher, there's one more thing."

Nomiya paused, and after the teacher's signal, she continued, "Teacher, you should know... I'm actually the daughter of the Saint Nephthys Group, right?"

The teacher nodded. He had found time to look through the files of Abydos students, so he naturally knew Nomiya's identity.

"Recently, Senior Hoshino seems to be in a bit of a state. Although she usually looks lazy, she is always the first to rush forward when encountering a problem. Even this time, it was Senior Hoshino who first suggested contacting the teacher for help.

“But when we were attacked by the Gehenna Discipline Committee yesterday, Senior Hoshino didn’t show up until the very end.

“Even though she used the excuse of ‘oversleeping’ to get away with it, I’ve been with Hoshino-senpai for over a year, and she’s definitely not that kind of person.

"I guess Hoshino-senpai is secretly dealing with something she thinks we can't afford without telling us.

"So after I returned yesterday, I used some of the connections in the Saint Nephthys Group to investigate the recent events in Abydos."

As she spoke, Nomiya looked up into the teacher's eyes, and her worried look was clearly seen by the teacher.

"Teacher, the Caesar Group has been investing heavily in the Abydos Desert for a decade. Every year, large quantities of military supplies and precision instruments are sent into the Abydos Desert.

"Maybe Senior Hoshino has discovered this? I don't know what Caesar Group is planning, but teacher, could you please persuade Senior Hoshino? This kind of thing shouldn't be placed on Senior Hoshino's shoulders alone... Please!"

Continued large investments? Just as Hinata had reported, Caesar was indeed plotting something in the Abydos Desert. If that was Hoshino's reason for meeting that black-faced guy...

The teacher was still a little worried. Although he didn't hesitate to assume malice towards others, when a child had to negotiate or even cooperate with an adult, he couldn't guarantee whether the adult had other intentions.

"Nomiya, I'll talk to Hoshino. Now let's wait until everyone is here."

This matter is not easy to resolve. The teacher doesn't know Hoshino very well. If it weren't for Mei and Nomiya's reminder, he might really think that Hoshino is just an ordinary girl who likes to be lazy and joke around. He needs to know more about Hoshino's past before he can make a decision.

"teacher!"

A voice came from behind, and the teacher looked back and saw that it was Futaba waving at him.

"Teacher, Xiaomei asked me to tell you that she and Ayane checked the cadastral map of Abydos, and just as you suspected, most of the land in Abydos is now owned by a company called 'Caesar Construction Company.'"

"Wha, what?!"

Before the teacher expressed her opinion, Nomiya exclaimed in surprise. She had subconsciously assumed that the owner of the land of Abydos was Abydos Academy. She had never thought that this land would be occupied by Caesar.

"Yeah, yes, Mei and Ayane are already in the activity room. Let's go over there now."

After that, Futaba brought the teacher and Nomiya to the activity room. Except for Eri and Kanna who were still supervising the reconstruction, everyone was already there, and looking at the posture.

They probably didn't go home last night and rested directly in school.

"Well, teacher, Xiaoya and I checked the cadastral map of Abydos last night, and this is the result..."

"Yes, I even visited the citizens of Abydos myself..."

Serika looked depressed. This black-haired cat didn't get any rest the whole night before. Unable to accept that the land of Abydos was occupied by Caesar, she ran around the surrounding area, but all the answers she got were "Yes, it happened a few years ago."

"It should be the former Abydos student union that did it."

It was rare for Hoshino not to lie on the table. There was a hint of imperceptible anxiety in the corner of her eyes. The teacher had never seen her like this before. Baizi beside her also secretly glanced at her from time to time.

"Abydos has been relocated several times to avoid desertification. This place used to be just a branch campus of Abydos. The main building of Abydos has been buried in sand. This land was probably transferred to Caesars by the former student union to repay a debt. First, it was severely desertified... and then it gradually became what it is today."

Hoshino didn't notice Baizi's anomaly, and just kept talking. "But the student union was in chaos back then. By the time I joined, the only two people left were the newly appointed president and me. The faculty and staff had long since been dismissed, and the student union's predecessors hadn't left any decent documents. The student union's meeting room was said to be the seat of Abydos' highest authority, but it was actually more like a dusty warehouse... Thinking back, I was running around like a fool all day. That's probably why we didn't know about the land transfer."

After sorting out the relevant documents, Ya sighed. During this period, she also learned about the past history of Abydos. The land issue was nothing more than Caesar's despicable fraud. He issued debts that the other party could not afford, and then used low-priced land as collateral to finally achieve the goal of annexing the land.

However, the students of Abydos at that time were eager to deal with the problem of desertification, and they had to jump into it even if it was a fire pit prepared by Caesar.
