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

Just as Futaba was about to lose her patience, Eri finally stood up from the ground: "This won't work, that won't work, let's just go find Captain Komei!"

"What about after we find her?"

"Once we find her, we can just leave the brainwork to her. We can't do anything else anyway."

It seems so. Let's take it one step at a time. Anyway, they don't have any mandatory tasks now.

Abandoned by the academy and targeted by the black market, they are now a small group excluded from society.

[Is this why so few people escape from Caesar PMC?]

With the river weeds in her mouth, Eri thought seriously for the first time.

The Story of Abydos: Chapter 6: The God-Man Abydos and the Talkative Suzuki Mei

"W-what?! You said those people just now were from Abydos?!"

On the overpass, Alu looked shocked. She learned from Mutsuki that the group of people who had been chatting with her in the ramen restaurant not long ago were the targets of her current action. Then, she talked to them for such a long time without them noticing anything. Alu now wanted to find a piece of tofu to kill herself.

"You must be mistaken, aren't you? Kayoko, you must be mistaken, aren't you?" Alusheng shook the black-and-white-haired girl named Kayoko helplessly. The latter replied helplessly, "You're not mistaken, President. The uniforms those people are wearing are Abydos school uniforms."

"Ah, uh... Why does fate have to play such a trick on me..."

"Hehe, it seems that the kind-hearted Alu can't bring herself to do it~" Mutsuki laughed as she watched Alu's frustrated look. Playing teasing on her childhood sweetheart was one of her hobbies.

"President, should we continue our mission? The part-time workers are still waiting for our orders." Kayoko asked with a sigh. As the only adult in the club, she sometimes really felt like the mother of three problem children.

"Of course, Section Chief Kayoko, 'Cold as ice, heart of stone, as long as the money is there, there is nothing we can't do.' This is the motto of our Convenience House 68!" Thinking of his dream of becoming a mature corporate leader, Alu put on a cold look and finished his cool words.

The purple-haired girl who had been following Alu silently this whole time, now held her shotgun and looked at Alu's back with admiration: "As expected of Master Alu, you are so cold-blooded even to those who have shown you kindness. Is this the real villain? Haru, Haruka will follow Master Alu until death!"

puff!

Alu felt as if an arrow called "conscience" pierced her conscience.

Should we say that Haruka's last hit was timely? Haruka got the MVP award in this wave, and Mutsuki and Kayoko both won without any effort!

On the other side, in Abydos, the teachers and others had returned to school. The teacher, worried that Ya had nothing to eat, packed a bowl of ramen for her. Ya almost shed tears when she ate the ramen. It is no exaggeration to say that Chaiguan ramen is the most delicious thing she has ever eaten.

However, Abydos's debt problem has not been resolved, so the Countermeasures Committee invited the teacher to attend their meeting as a Xialai consultant. Thanks to the card given by the teacher, Ya also attended the meeting as a Xialai member.

The teacher readily agreed, and Ya was curious about all the information about Caesar, so she accepted the invitation with the idea of ​​"knowing more about Caesar".

"Okay, now we're convening the regular meeting of the Abydos Countermeasures Committee. With two advisors from Xialai in attendance, this time, the meeting should be a bit more formal, right?" Ayane, the committee's secretary, stood at the square table in the activity room and announced the start of the meeting. "Let's get straight to the point. Today, we're discussing 'how to repay Abydos's debt.' Starting with Kuromi Serika to my left, everyone, please speak in an orderly manner."

The cat was taken aback when its name was called, but quickly adjusted its expression. "Uh, why are you calling me by my full name? Anyway, as the accountant of Abydos, I want to tell everyone that we are facing a bankruptcy crisis! If this continues, our school will be closed sooner or later. Everyone knows this, right?"

There was a rare serious atmosphere. Even the usually lazy Hoshino sat up straight and nodded in agreement with Serika's statement. Mei was infected and unconsciously took out a notebook to make notes.

Seeing no one objected, Qin Xiang continued, "The amount we have to repay to the bank every month is 20,000 in interest alone. Although we make money through various means and some anonymous donations from citizens, the money we earn is barely enough to pay the interest.

"As it is now, if we only arrest wanted criminals, resolve complaints, or conduct volunteer activities, the income we earn is extremely limited.

"There's no way to solve the problem if we continue like this, so we should make a big deal!"

"As expected of Abydos! Even in its decline, it still has such talented people serving as accountants. Is this the foundation of a strong school?"

Thinking this in her heart, Ya was looking forward to what Qinxiang would say next.

"This is it! The flyer I received in the city center!" Qinxiang took out a flyer from her bag. The two cat ears on her head trembled with the owner's mood, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"Let me see, 'Join the online direct sales of the best-selling germanium-made medical stone bracelets now and become rich overnight...'?" Hoshino took the flyer and read out the content word for word.

Mei couldn't hold it back any longer after she finished reading it, while Qinxiang was still excitedly introducing her plan: "Yes! Let's make a fortune with this!

"Last time I was downtown, a group of people dragged me to a seminar. They introduced me to this bracelet that brings good luck just by wearing it! All I have to do is sell it to three people around me...? What were your expressions like that?"

Everyone in the activity room showed an expression of concern for the fool. At this time, Mei, who realized that she had overestimated the black-haired cat, spoke up: "Qi Xiang, if I heard correctly, this should be the so-called 'pyramid scheme', right?"

"Eh?"

"This is a scam. Besides, I really don't understand what the relationship is between germanium and luck... Next one." Ayane waved her hand to reject Serika's proposal. Serika, who had just realized that she had been cheated, had no choice but to sit down with a frustrated look on her face, wearing the three bracelets she had bought with the money she had saved for dinner.

Fortunately, Nomiya was there to comfort her: "Okay, dear Serika, come have dinner with me. I'll treat you."

"Next is me, uncle."

"Okay, President Hoshino Kotori, please go ahead."

Hoshino stood up and cleared his throat: "Ahem, the biggest problem we have in Abydos right now is that there are only a few of us in the entire academy.

"So, I think our most important task now is to increase the number of students! As long as there are more students, we can pay off our debts by collecting tuition! And we can also train senators and increase our voice in the Federal Student Union!"

"Yes, really? Then how should we increase the number of our students?" Ayane asked, thinking she had finally received a reliable proposal.

"It's very simple, we just need to hijack the shuttle bus of other colleges!"

"what?"

"We'll hijack their bus. If they don't want to come over to our side, we won't let them get off." Hoshino became increasingly excited. She subconsciously pulled out her white shotgun. "Hey, that way we can significantly increase our numbers!"

"Hmm, that sounds good. So is the target Trinity? Gehenna? Or Millennium? We'll need different tactics depending on the target." Bai Zi nodded and even pulled out a few woolen hoods from his bag. "Concealing our identity is necessary, and I've made preparations for that."

"Uh...Sister Baizi is right. Then let's choose Holy Trinity? Uh, forget it. How about Gehenna?"

Hoshino and Shiroko had already started discussing a plan of action, and in order to prevent the topic from going off track, Ayane hastily rejected the proposal.

Mei sat aside, listening with twitching eyes to the subsequent bank robbery plan proposed by Shiroko and the idol debut plan proposed by Nomiya. She might know why Abydos had become so weak. Except for Ayane, the other five people in Abydos were more powerful than the other. Ayane, it had not been easy for her.

Looking at Ayane's flushed face, Mei had no doubt that with a little more stimulation she would overturn the table.

Fortunately, the gunshots from outside the school interrupted the meeting and saved the table in the activity room.

"What's going on? Oh no! Kanna is still in the infirmary!" Mei, who had just been complaining, became panicked. She threw down the notebook with not much written on it, picked up the gun and ran out.

"Teacher, there are a lot of signals outside Abydos. It is speculated that unidentified armed men are surrounding Abydos."

Arona's voice came from the teacher's tablet, and the teacher's face turned serious: "Hoshino, Shiroko, Nomiya and Serika, let's go check on the situation! Ayane, we're counting on you for support."

"Good teacher!"

The Story of Abydos: Chapter 7: Dipping Beans! and Premeditation

"Teacher, the drone has sent back footage. It's a part-time mercenary!"

In the activity room, Ayane covered her earphone with one hand and shouted. In the picture sent back from the drone she released, a large group of part-time mercenaries wearing white helmets were surrounding Abydos.

At the same time, Ya, who ran out of the activity room first, had already come face to face with the mercenaries.

"Why, why are there so many people?" Seeing that something was wrong, she quickly retreated towards the school gate. Fortunately, she reacted in time, otherwise she would have been unconscious for a while if she had been fired upon by so many people.

"Xiaoya, don't be reckless. Xingye, I'm counting on you to break through head-on."

The teacher rushed to the scene and after taking a quick look at the scanned image on the tablet, he quickly made adjustments.

"Okay, look at mine, uncle."

Mei watched as Hoshino took out her folding shield and slowly walked out of the school gate under the firepower of dozens of people. The bullets hit the shield like water, but did not stop her forward steps at all.

"Baizi, Qinxiang and Xiaoya, pay attention to cover Xingye and Nomiya, and suppress the enemy with fire!"

While all the firepower was attracted to Hoshino, several people acted quickly under the teacher's instructions, and poured fierce firepower towards the mercenaries. Hoshino obviously felt that the pressure was reduced a lot, but for her, this little pressure was nothing.

"Wait, it's confirmed that there's a team leading the mercenaries! Huh?" Ayane, sitting in front of the computer, zoomed in on the image on the screen and took a closer look. "It seems... we met at the ramen shop?"

"Ah! It's you!" Serika pointed at Alu, who was mixed up in the mercenary group. "I gave you a huge portion of ramen for free, and now you're attacking us! You're really ungrateful!"

Alu turned her head away awkwardly. Facing Qinxiang's question, she really didn't have the face to answer!

But Mutsuki answered for her, "Ahahaha, thank you so much for the ramen thing, but that's a different matter. This is also work for us. Huh? Is that little sister here too? I really let a troublemaker get away with it."

"We are also very sorry, but work requires a clear separation between public and private matters, and we must handle the commissions we accept seriously."

Kayoko walked out of the crowd. She didn't expect that things would be so coincidental, but for her, helping her friend realize her dream was the most important thing.

"I see, the business you're talking about is a convenience store...

"Really? Can't you just do a regular part-time job? Why do you have to run a convenience store?"

Nomiya was furious. The always smiling and good-tempered Nomiya was actually furious! The terrifying aura she exuded at this moment made even Ya, who wasn't facing her directly, tremble. Ya remembered that she seemed to have done a lot of what Nomiya considered "illegitimate part-time jobs." Now that she had participated in the attack on the teacher, she must not let her know!

Ah Lu, however, didn't seem to notice anything. Instead, she confronted Nomiya, "No, it's not a part-time job! This is a legitimate business! I have a title!"

"I'm the president!" Alu pointed at herself proudly.

"She is the director." This is Mutsuki who was pulled over by Alu.

"She is the section chief." This was Kayoko who kept wanting to cover her face.

"And our best member, Chunxiang!" This is Chunxiang looking at Alu with admiration.

"Alas... President Alu, you are only embarrassing us by saying this here." Kayoko, who was about to cover her face, pulled Alu's clothes helplessly. Ever since she and Alu ran out of Gehenna, they seemed to have been on the road of embarrassment.

"Forget it, forget about it. Everyone, attack!"

Seeing that no one in Abydos was interested in her convenience house, Alu finally stopped being stupid. She waved her hand and instructed the mercenaries to continue attacking Abydos.

"What a bunch of despicable people!"

Serika hid behind the cover and cursed angrily, but the most important thing at the moment was to repel them.

Unlike the tough battle that Mei had imagined, this operation was very easy. Hoshino was holding the front row, and Shiroko's drone and Nomiya's machine gun were suppressing the back. Even if she was accidentally injured, there were medical supplies delivered by Ayane's drone. She only needed to follow Serika and Shiroko and aim at the mercenaries who dared to rush forward and fire.

The girl was a little unaccustomed to such an easy fight. These mercenaries were simply outnumbered; in a real fight, they were no match for the helmeted group with upgraded equipment. The only thing she had to be careful of was the members of Convenience House 68, such as...

"Hehe~ Here comes the bomb~"

Mei saw Mutsuki humming the melody of an unknown song while throwing her big black bag towards Abydos.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three explosions were heard, and the already old gate of Abydos school completely disappeared in the flames. The faces of all the people in Abydos who were fighting turned black.

"Unforgivable." Bai Zi released her drone with a dark face. The drone, which was converted into a rocket nest, fired all 8 rockets in less than 1 second. Under the guidance of the coordinates provided by the teacher, the rockets equipped with simple control devices flew over a group of mercenaries and flew straight towards Mutsuki. The flames engulfed Mutsuki who kept pouring out firepower, but this alone could not knock her down.

"Mutsuki, are you okay?" Kayoko, who was directing the mercenaries' attack, took a moment to confirm.

The smoke and dust cleared, and Mutsuki, a dusty face, held the machine gun in her hand. She was a little dizzy from the attack, but this only aroused her ferocity. "It's okay, it seems I have to teach them a lesson."

That being said, most of Mutsuki's bullets were intercepted by Hoshino, and the few that were not intercepted hardly hit the target.

"Lingling~"

Someone's alarm clock rang, and the mercenaries present stopped their attacks. "Ah, it's time to get off work. Sorry, your commission payment for today is only until this time. The rest is up to you. Everyone, let's go."

As one of the mercenaries spoke, the remaining mercenaries fled the scene in a swarm. Even those who were knocked down got up and left as if nothing had happened.

"W-what?! Wait, wait! How can this be! Wait, don't go!" Alu was dumbfounded. Unfortunately, no mercenary paid any attention to her. Refusing to work overtime was their principle.

Mutsuki, who had been ferocious at first, now looked a bit embarrassed. "This is bad! I didn't expect that after spending so much time, there's still no winner. Alu-chan, what should we do? Should we run away?"

"Uh... wuwu..." Looking at the fierce firepower and unfriendly expressions of the people in Abydos, Alu finally decided to run away first. However, in order to maintain the company's image, she still had to say some harsh words, "Don't, don't think this is the end, Abydos! Let's run... No, let's retreat!"

Mutsuki returned to her funny self, teasing Alu while running away. Kayoko, on the other hand, sighed helplessly and dragged Haruka, who still wanted to fight again.

"Just, it ends like this?" Ya came out from behind the bunker and looked at the messy scene with a confused look on his face. The conflict ended in such a frivolous way.

"Oh, the school gate is broken again. We're going to be busy now." Hoshino squatted on the ground and looked at the school gate that had turned into a pile of rubble. They were already short of money and had to bear the cost of repairs. This really made her distressed.

"Ahahaha, I'm not sure what the specific situation is, but it's confirmed that the enemy troops have been disbanded... Oh no, they've retreated. Thank you all for your hard work."

Ayane's drone confirmed that there were no hostile elements around. No matter what, at least they didn't have to worry about being attacked in the short term.

"team leader."

Mei, who was cleaning up the scene, heard a familiar voice and turned around to see that it was Kanna in a hospital gown.

Ya hurried over to support her: "Why did you get up? Are you feeling unwell?"

Kanna didn't answer immediately. She looked around first, and when she saw there was no Caesar sign, she relaxed and replied, "It's okay, Captain. Where is this?"

"This is Abydos. They are students of Abydos, and that is the teacher."

Following Mei's introduction, everyone came forward to greet Kanna, and this taciturn girl just nodded in response. She kept everyone's kindness in her heart.

It was not until the teacher came forward that she was surprised. It was the first time she had seen an adult without a halo.

Then the adult stuffed a card into her hand, which was the same Xia Lai member ID card as Mei's. However, like Mei, Kanna hadn't paid attention to the news in a long time. In response to the teacher's action, she just said "thank you" in confusion.

"Well, everyone, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but tomorrow is the day to pay off the fixed-interest loan. Shouldn't we make some preparations first?"

Ayane's words aroused Mei's interest. She would laugh in her dreams at night if she could find a way to cause trouble for Caesar.
