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

"Let's go back to Gehenna!"

But she, alone, was determined to turn things upside down in Gehenna!

Between Progress and Reaction: Chapter 2: Return of the Dragon King (Fog)

This is the second time Xiaoya has set foot on the land of Gehena since dropping out of school.

The last time was when they went from Abydos to Gehena to ask for help. Xiaoya remembered...the teacher licked Iori's black chocolate and promised Xiaoya and Kanna on the train that he would never deceive his students.

So far, the teacher has done what he said.

After getting off the train and truly stepping onto the land of my hometown, of course, there was no welcome or blessing, only Iori who "happened" to be leading the patrol here.

"Hey, welcome back to Gehenna."

Iori leaned against the platform pillar and briefly welcomed the four people.

Allowing Xiaoya and the other three to resume their student status was already a blatant slap in the face of Pandemonium. Makoto didn't make things difficult for them because Junjun was afraid that the arms smuggling incident would be exposed.

Under such circumstances, there will naturally be no team welcoming them back to school, and the Disciplinary Committee's actions now can be regarded as expressing goodwill to them.

It seems that Hinai has not given up the idea of ​​recruiting them to join the Disciplinary Committee.

"Where is our dormitory?" Xiaoya asked, and the other three just looked at Iori.

Since the Disciplinary Committee has shown goodwill to them, they might as well just go ahead and do it. They have no power or influence in Gehenna now, and they will have to cooperate with the Disciplinary Committee in the future.

The girl already had some ideas. What she took away from Hongdong was not only Wu Hui's notebook, but also various anthologies.

You have to read other people's opinions and also read the original works. Only then can it be considered healthy.

And in those anthologies, Xiaoya learned something called "united front."

Since not many people in Gehenna know about communitarianism, Xiaoya might as well establish a "Gehenna anti-Makoto united front" according to local conditions, and the most important component of it is the Disciplinary Committee that has long been at odds with Pandemonium.

"You guys are really rude." Iori muttered, then stood up, "Let's go, this way."

So Gehenna appeared like this:

Four girls carrying luggage were surrounded by a disciplinary committee patrol team and walked towards the dormitory area under the leadership of Iori, the captain of the disciplinary committee action team.

"Now all of Gehenna will know about our connection to the Disciplinary Committee. Captain Xiaoya, is this okay?"

Eri looked at the students who gathered around curiously, some of whom were taking pictures with their mobile phones, so she leaned over to Xiaoya's ear and asked in a low voice.

According to her, they should keep a low profile now. Returning to school has offended the Pantheon, and if they continue to get involved with the Discipline Committee in such a high-profile manner, the Pantheon will definitely make things difficult for them, right?

But Xiaoya just smiled and replied, "It's okay. It's the Discipline Committee that's bearing the pressure, not us. Besides, the Discipline Committee values ​​us so much, shouldn't Makoto come and win us over?"

Xiaoya's guess was correct. Before they even arrived at the dormitory area, information about Xiaoya and the others appeared on Makoto's desk.

One has to admire the efficiency of Pandemonium. As long as Makoto wants, Pandemonium can always get the information she wants to know earlier than the Disciplinary Committee.

"He was able to withstand Iori's fire and continue fighting, participated in the main attack on Caesar's base in the Abydos Desert, took a kick from Nero, the number one player in the millennium, and then participated in resolving the robot uprising in the millennium?

"This Suzuki Mei and her team are quite interesting! Iroha!"

In the luxurious office of Pandemonium, which was said to have been renovated after Makoto returned from his visit to Hongdong, Makoto, wearing a coat and a regular military cap, called out a name.

She didn't have to wait long before a weak voice responded to her.

"What's the matter? Speaker Makoto..."

"Iroha, what do you think of these people?"

Makoto didn't care about the attitude issue, but just excitedly showed the information of Xiaomei and the others to the student named Iroha.

The latter took a quick look and replied, "They are all students with strong fighting ability. What's the matter?"

"Iroha, I have a mission for you. Go and recruit these four into our Pandemonium Guard." Makoto knocked on the table, trying to cheer Iroha up, but he just kept his hands in the pockets of his military coat, his expression unchanged. "We have reliable intelligence that the Discipline Committee values ​​them highly, so we have to get them over before Hinata does. Do you understand?"

"Well, but the task you asked me to win over the teacher hasn't been completed yet..."

"Then put it aside for now. Winning over the teacher is a long-term task and there's no rush. Let's deal with these four more important students first."

Hearing this, Iroha just stared at Makoto in surprise.

"Why are you staring at me?"

"No, I just didn't expect Makoto to be able to prioritize things. It's really like the sun is rising in the west."

"In short, as long as these four people join the Pandemonium Guard, our Pandemonium will definitely be able to overwhelm the Disciplinary Committee and eventually rule all of Kivotos! Hahahaha!"

"Hahahaha." Iroha looked like he was reading a book with his hands held high. Oh, and he rolled his eyes. It seemed that Makoto was still the same Makoto, without any change at all.

"Alas, in the end, it's us middle managers who are in trouble."

Iroha said so in his dead-eye form.

......

"We're here. This is your dormitory."

The discipline committee members stayed outside the dormitory building, and only Iori took Xiaomei and the others upstairs.

The dormitory is a four-person room with a private bathroom. The conditions are okay, but of course they can't be compared with Xialai.

But this is enough. Xiaoya and the others didn’t come here to enjoy themselves.

"Here are the keys." Iori handed the four keys to the four people, "Ah, why would I do such a thing... Anyway, if you don't want to live here anymore, you can always check out later.

"You can come to me if you have any problems. That's it. Goodbye."

After holding her forehead and complaining to herself, the diligent silver-haired girl turned and left.

Although it was Hinata's request that she "coincidentally" patrol to the station to welcome Mei and the others, this patrol mission was not a show, and the subsequent procedures were still waiting for her to complete.

"I didn't expect we'd be in the same dorm. I thought we'd be arranged by grade." Xiaoya unpacked her suitcase and made the bed. "It's quite clean, not dusty at all. It must have been cleaned beforehand... That's good, it saves us some trouble."

There wasn't much luggage. Apart from a few changes of clothes, there were only the books brought from Hongdong.

However, Kannai also brought the fishing rod with him, probably because he wanted to develop the air force career in Gehena.

Come to think of it, it seems that Kanna was a member of the Gehenna fishing club before.

"So, the next step is..."

After everyone had packed their luggage, Xiaoya began to assign tasks to everyone.

Between Progress and Reaction: Chapter 3 The Spartacus Group

There are a lot of things to do after returning to school. Although teaching is now mainly done through CDs and assisted by faculty and staff, you still need to show up for some courses to let the faculty and staff know of your presence so that you don't end up having to retake exams.

For example, courses like art and music, but Xiaoya is not interested in these. She really just shows up in class and leaves.

This is nothing in Gehena. Basically, no one takes classes as a big deal. The faculty and staff of Gehena just take attendance, watch large groups of students leave the classroom, and finally start teaching the few remaining students who are interested in the course.

"Hello, I'm here to apply to register a society."

After going through various courses, Xiaoya brought Huannai and the others to the club management office of Gehena. Generally speaking, Gehena’s requirements for club registration are not very high, as long as the number of people is met.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the club you register does not involve economic activities. If it does, Pandemonium will intervene and demand supervision or even control of the club. If you refuse, you will be an illegal club and will be hunted down by the Disciplinary Committee.

For example, Convenience House 68, where Alu and her friends work, is an illegal organization.

"Club name? Club purpose? And give me your student ID."

The person in charge of the registration and management of the society is an officer from the Temple of Ten Thousand Demons. Xiaoya always feels like she has seen her somewhere.

Long, fluffy red hair, a military coat and cap, and an expression that looks like he wants to leave work immediately because he finds the work too troublesome... Who is this person?

Xiaoya didn't think much about it and handed the student ID card that was issued last night to the secretary.

As for the name of the club, the girl thought for a moment, and then an idea flashed in her mind. She decided to use a name she saw in the ancient book written by Wu Huimo: "The name of the club is Spartacus Club.

“The purpose of the club is to study and learn.”

It is indeed reading and studying, but don’t worry about what you read and what you study.

"That's it." The secretary, who looked like a red-haired ball from the back, nodded, and then filled in Xiaoya and the others' information on the club registration form.

"Why organize this kind of club? I have a better way. Are you interested?"

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the officer spoke.

"Hmm? What way?"

"There's a large club recruiting people recently. They have ample funds and can fully support your book purchases. They can even provide additional allowances."

Red-haired Dumpling stopped writing and looked up at Xiaoya. Although she still looked lazy, Xiaoya seemed to see a hint of seriousness in her eyes.

If Xiaoya really came back to Gehenna just to go to school, then maybe she would have nodded in agreement now, but it’s not possible now.

"Sorry, we have no interest in this area. For us, it's better to study quietly. We don't want to get involved in the affairs of large clubs."

It’s not that I won’t get involved, it’s just that I have to say so openly.

Xiaoya shook her head to refuse. The red-haired boy glanced at the people behind her, and saw that they all shook their heads.

"Okay, the club application has been submitted."

In an instant, Xiaoya could feel that the seriousness in the eyes of this secretary disappeared without a trace. Now no matter how she looked at her, she looked like a social animal who was tired of work and wanted to get off work quickly.

It's not like, it's just like that, the red-haired boy was even waving his hands to drive people away.

"Go, go, go, if you have nothing else, leave quickly."

I don't understand what she is selling, but anyway, it's fine as long as they follow the plan.

Thinking of this, Xiaoya took a few people and left the club management office.

"Do you feel that the officer from the Pantheon looks familiar?"

"Yes? No."

Hearing Xiaoya's question, Eri and Futaba shook their heads. They had never seen that person in charge.

Kanna thought about it seriously for a while, then said, "I think I saw that student on the Pandemonium recruitment poster. His name is... Zao Iroha."

When Kanna said this, Xiaoya remembered that the recruitment poster of Pandemonium this year had not been taken down yet, and the figure of the red-haired ball was clearly on it.

"That's not right. Isn't Iroha the commander of the Pandemonium Guard? Why is she working in the club management office?"

Xiaoya remembered that Iroha's position on the poster had nothing to do with the club's affairs, but now she appeared there.

"Maybe Makoto is showing off her amazing wisdom again, or maybe Iroha did something to upset Makoto and was sent there."

Futaba made guesses based on her impression of Pandemonium's logic.

"Forget it, let her do whatever she wants. Remember the plan we discussed last night? Let's get started now."

At Xiaoya's command, they immediately split into two groups and headed in different directions.

The establishment of a club is just a cover. In fact, even if the club's application is not approved, they will privately establish an organization according to an organizational structure similar to that of the Hammer and Sickle Society.

With the establishment of a society, it is just more convenient to deal with some public matters.

Xiaoya had discussed with Kanna Eri and Futaba in the dormitory last night that their Spartacus Group would consist of two parts. One was the legal part, which would be responsible for recruiting new members and organizing reading clubs to instill communitarian ideas in members. Of course, other books would also be read. The discipline in this part was relatively loose, and the reading clubs were not mandatory. It was more of a cover for the second part.

The second is the secret part, which will be subject to strict discipline and members will be required to participate in activities. Of course, what activities to carry out will be decided by everyone through discussion, and the principle of democratic centralism will be implemented.

The requirements for joining the second part are much stricter than those for joining the first part. First of all, you must at least know what communitarianism is, and be willing to obey discipline and fight for communitarianism; secondly, the majority of members of the second part must agree to your joining.

Of course, there are not many people in their Spartacus Group now, so the members of the first and second parts are naturally only the four people from the original team.

Now they are temporarily divided into two groups to act separately. Xiaoya and Kanna are in the same group. They will go to other clubs' activities on the pretext of "visiting other clubs' activities due to lack of experience" and even develop members in other clubs.

Eri and Futaba went to recruit new members. Although Xiaoya didn't think that the Spartacus Group's slogan of "studying and studying" would be attractive to the students of Gehenna, this kind of work still had to be done. Now that their organization had not even started, they could not miss any opportunity to expand the organization.

PS: Group 1032749542, everyone is welcome to play, and you can urge for more updates.
