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

According to the agreement, the three parties will open their markets to each other. The industrial raw materials of Gehenna Soviet Academy will no longer need to be imported through the black market. The third campus has rich mineral resources, the fourth campus has various economic crop raw materials, and the fifth campus has an ever-expanding industry. If they unite, the Pantheon may not be able to do anything to them.

The second major benefit of this agreement for the Spartacus Group was that the State Emergency Committee and the Hot Spring Development Department recognized the Gehenna Soviet Academy as the legitimate Gehenna campus. Upon their return, they would change the names back to the Third and Fourth Campuses. Now, at least in terms of administrative divisions, Xiaoya and the others were ahead of Pandemonium.

Moreover, the State of Emergency Committee also confirmed Hinae's survival, and the Disciplinary Committee there immediately announced that they would obey Hinae's management after the signing of the agreement. Of course, in order to resist Pandemonium and reassure the allies, the Spartacus Group did not directly say that they would recruit them, but only sent Iori as the person in charge to the Fourth Campus.

It can be said that the biggest beneficiary of the agreement signed this time is the Gehenna Soviet. Not only did it gain recognition, but it also had the possibility of peacefully integrating the Fourth Campus. For the other two parties, they had to sign it whether they wanted to or not. At least compared with the Pandemonium, the Spartacus Corps seemed to be more humane.

The Spartacus League branches in the third and fourth campuses were also legalized, and now they can carry out activities openly. The Hot Spring Development Department and the State of Emergency Committee only then discovered that there were so many Spartacus League members in their own country. It is estimated that if the current situation continues, they will be overthrown by the Spartacus League sooner or later.

The Spartacus League branch was not discovered, which was mainly due to the Intelligence Department, which was directly under the Spartacus League Central Committee. With their help, the members of the branch would receive certain anti-tracking and covert training. Although it looked crude and the Intelligence Department's technology was not necessarily very strong, they had already won a lot compared to the Intelligence Department of the Discipline Committee that had been shut down and the Hot Spring Development Department that had no such thing at all.

......

"Is that so? Okay, I get it."

Seeing Xiaoya put down her phone and look relaxed, Eri had just told her about the progress of the talks. It must be said that this was a victory for them. What Pandemonium failed to get with tanks, they got at the negotiating table.

"Xiaoya, what is this?"

"Oh, we convinced the Hot Spring Development Department and the State of Emergency Committee. Now, the entire Gehenna, except for Pandemonium, is on our side." Xiaoya smiled. Now the Anti-Makoto United Front has controlled nearly three-fifths of the land, but their industry and population still cannot catch up with Pandemonium. Although their territory is large, their population is only more than 800,000, while the central area and the second campus controlled by Pandemonium have more than 1.5 million people, almost twice as many as theirs.

So they definitely cannot compete in terms of military strength, but as long as they have the support of the masses, this battle may not be unwinnable.

"That's right, Xiaoya," the teacher said after a moment's thought. "Xia Lai can't just declare that the Gehenna Soviet Academy is the legitimate Gehenna. Xia Lai represents the Federal Student Union. No matter what, the Federal Student Union can't openly interfere with the various colleges."

Xiaoya nodded. She understood the teacher's difficulties. It could be said that it was the teacher's wish for him to come to them alone. However, the teacher could not directly announce publicly that Xia Lei and the Gehenna Soviet stood together. That would be tantamount to tying the Federal Student Union to their chariot.

If the Federal Student Union, which theoretically should be completely neutral and objective, does this, its prestige will be greatly reduced, and the trust of various colleges in the Federal Student Union will also be reduced, which is something the Federal Student Union does not want to see.

"Remaining neutral when one side is weak is essentially siding with the stronger side. Ever since the president disappeared, the Federal Student Union hasn't even understood this principle."

Hanako was outspoken, and it was obvious that she completely despised the current style of the Federal Student Union.

"Ahaha, that's not right, Huahua. The Federal Student Union must have their own difficulties."

Hanako remained noncommittal about Hifumi's statement. If it were any other president, the SRT Academy's forces would have intervened long ago if Gehenna and Trinity had gotten into such a mess. However, it seemed that the Federal Student Union had already begun the process of abolishing the SRT Academy.

Thinking of this, Hanako despised the Federal Student Union again in her heart. What she said about having no authority to control was all nonsense. It was simply that no one in the Federal Student Union wanted to take responsibility. In order to avoid responsibility, they could even voluntarily abandon the sword in their hands. The current Federal Student Union was indeed not as good as the missing student union president.

Xiaoya didn't express any opinion on the Federal Student Union. Regardless of whether the Federal Student Union supported them or not, they still had to rely on themselves in the end. Xiaoya didn't believe that Makoto would surrender directly if the Federal Student Union announced that the Gehenna Soviet was the orthodox Gehenna.

There's a saying in ancient texts that goes, "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." It's as simple as that. Who is the legitimate leader of Gehenna now? That's still decided by fists.

Xiaoya stared blankly out the train window and at the platform that was getting closer and closer. They were almost at the fifth campus.

Eri will need to organize a three-party joint military command system in the future, and the administrative work of the fifth campus will naturally fall on Xiaoya, the administrative officer, as well as the organizational work of the Spartacus Group... In short, there is endless work to do.

Fortunately, although Hinata's strength has declined greatly, she is still clear-headed. With her experience, she will also help Xiaoya with administrative work.

Thinking of this, Xiaoya couldn't help but admire her. After all, Hinai had not only had to suppress Gehenna's problem students, but also had to handle the administrative work that Pandemonium had shirked, yet she still managed to keep Gehenna running smoothly day after day. Was Hinai a superman? In any case, putting herself in his shoes, Xiaoya felt that she would never be able to do it.

"Ah, the train has arrived. Teachers and students from the cram school, welcome to the fifth campus."

The train stopped and Xiaoya stood up from her seat and smiled at the teachers.

Born from the Flames of War: Fighting on the First Front

After settling the teachers and the cram school, Xiaoya immediately went to the council office, which was transformed from the Pandemonium headquarters, to hand over her work.

Anna, who was busy in the office, immediately looked like she had found a savior when she saw Xiaoya.

"Comrade Chairman! You're here at last!"

"Stop, stop, stop! What's wrong? Why are you so excited?"

Xiaoya reached out to stop Anna who was almost bumping into her with a pile of documents. To be honest, there were so many people here, and even if her workload was added, it would not be reduced much. So Xiaoya didn't believe that Anna would be so excited just because her workload was reduced a little.

Seeing Anna like this, Xiaoya guessed that there must be something she couldn't handle that needed her to resolve, and it must have been delayed for some time.

"Yes, that's right. Some time ago, didn't you, Comrade Chairman, say that we should go deep into the masses and gain their support?"

"Yeah, what's wrong here?"

"There's nothing wrong with this route. It's our work that's gone awry," An Nai said, pulling a document from her pile and handing it to Xiao Ya. "This cadre, comrade Umekawa Yoshirei, encountered resistance from the local villagers when they went down to this fishing village. Now, they've united and are preventing our staff from entering."

The population of the Fifth Campus is not all concentrated in the city. In fact, there are many small villages and towns like Sand City. The fishing village that Xingnai mentioned is a fishing village with a population of about 500 in the north of the Fifth Campus. It is separated by mountains and forms a relatively independent area. It is somewhat difficult for the administrative power of the Gehenna Soviet to penetrate into it.

"Here..." Xiaoya flipped through the documents in the report, which recorded the conversation record of Comrade Meichuan. From this alone, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with Comrade Meichuan's actions and words, so why was he boycotted by local residents?

"How did they do it in the Pandemonium before?"

Xiaoya thought for a while, then asked, she remembered that she had never seen any news about the residents of the Fifth Campus boycotting the Pandemonium before. Not to mention the local news in Gehena, even Kronos Academy had not reported such a thing. Even if the Pandemonium could suppress the local news, they could not suppress Kronos Academy, right?

If that is the case, doesn’t it mean that the Ten Thousand Demons Palace has experience in dealing with such matters? They can now refer to the Ten Thousand Demons Palace’s previous experience.

"Well..." Xingna hesitated. She had actually thought of what Xiaoya had thought of, and had even asked the Wanmo Hall officials who were currently undergoing labor education in advance. The answer she got was a bit ridiculous. "Those Wanmo Hall officials said that the poor place was poor and remote, and the roads were difficult to travel. That's why they never sent anyone there and never cared about it."

"Not sisters, is that what they say?"

"Yes, that's what they said."

After receiving Xingnai's repeated affirmation, Xiaoya couldn't help but feel speechless about Pandemonium. Just because it's so remote and the road is difficult to walk on, so they just leave it alone? That's really a solution. As long as I can't see it, there's no problem.

But the Spartacus Corps certainly cannot be like the Pandemonium. No matter how remote or difficult the journey is, Xiaoya and the others have to go there. If they want to gain the support of the masses, they cannot give up because of this difficulty. If the masses in other places know that they don’t care about this place, doesn’t it mean that there is no essential difference between them and the Pandemonium, and they all just want to command the masses from a high position?

Besides, it’s not a big problem if the road is difficult to travel on. They are not in a remote area. Why not just ask a construction team to build a road?

"Okay, I understand. I have to go to this place in person." It was another mess left by the Ten Thousand Demons Palace. Xiaoya already had some guesses as to why Comrade Meichuan was being boycotted.

It's understandable, after living peacefully in a fishing village for so many years, that someone suddenly shows up, a student they don't know, claiming she's in charge of local affairs and wants to take charge. Wouldn't anyone else be convinced? While Comrade Meichuan's words weren't flawed, Xiaoya speculated that perhaps some subconscious action or habit of his had offended the fishermen, leading to the boycott.

"Huh? Are you going in person? What about these tasks?" Anna was anxious. If Xiaoya ran away, she would have to work overtime again today. Moreover, as the Minister of Finance, she had difficulty deciding many things.

"Of course, my work efficiency is not very high, so there is not much point in staying here. It is better to go and find out more about the situation. But don't worry, Hinata-senpai will come to assist with the work."

Xiaoya said this, put away the report documents and was about to turn around and leave, but at this time the office door was pushed open.

"Eh? Teacher? Why are you here?"

The one who walked in was Hinata, and the teacher next to her who was supposed to be resting.

"I met the teacher on the road. He was very concerned about my health and wanted to see if there was anything he could help with, so we came together." Hina explained. Before, on the road, the teacher asked her how she was feeling with concern, and when she saw the teacher, her depressed mood suddenly brightened, and she even felt that the weakness in her body was reduced a little.

The teacher nodded and said, "Yes, I have rested long enough in the Holy Trinity Prison. If you need my help, you can always call me."

Xiaoya looked at Hina standing next to the teacher and nodded thoughtfully. Even though Hina looked calm on the surface, the flapping of her wings behind her had betrayed her. Xiaoya could tell at a glance that Hina was shy at the moment.

[No, just for Eri and Futaba, I can’t let the teacher stay with Hina-senpai all the time.]

Thinking of Eri and Futaba, Xiaoya felt that she couldn't let Hina and the teacher continue like this, otherwise Hina would be the main wife. Glancing at the documents tucked under her arm, Xiaoya had made a decision.

"Teacher, I need your help." As soon as she said that, Xiaoya could feel Hina's face darken, but she still spoke up. "Our cadres are facing resistance from the locals in this fishing village. I hope you can come with me to investigate."

"Okay, no problem, let's go." The teacher agreed happily, and Hina's expression next to her returned to normal in an instant, but there was a little coldness when she looked at Xiaoya.

Xiaoya felt uneasy when she was stared at, but this was a business matter, not a personal matter, so she didn't need to be afraid, right?

Born from the Fires of War: Chapter 19: All Lost

Of course there is no need to be afraid. Hina still knows what is important and what is not. She is just unhappy. After feeling that she has lost her power, she is more likely to show her emotions. If it were before, Hina would not have any change in expression at all.

"I'm sorry, my dear. I'll accompany you next time." As he said that, the teacher bent down and hugged Hina, and Hina's face turned red.

Xiaoya sighed. She had never expected that the teacher would have such a trick. It seemed that Eri, Futaba and the others were going to lose everything.

"Teacher? Who is this cutie?"

The usually cold and aloof head of the Discipline Committee now looked like an ordinary girl who was extremely shy. This appearance made the cadres in the office couldn't help but turn around and look at them.

Envy, jealousy, surprise...all kinds of eyes fell on Hina. Judging from the frequency of the flapping of the little wings behind Hina, Hina must have fallen.

Only then did the teacher let go and stood up again.

"Okay, teacher, let's go." Xiaoya, who really didn't want to continue eating dog food, hurriedly pulled the teacher out and let the teacher and Hina play freely. Xiaoya was afraid that Eri and Futaba wouldn't even be able to drink the soup.

"Um, Hina-senpai, can we start working now?" After Xiaomei pulled the teacher away, Anna asked the stunned Hina, and the latter only then reacted.

"Sure, let's get started."

As expected of Hina, even in this situation she was able to quickly return to work, but the blush on her face still revealed the excitement in her heart.

......

"So, what are you thinking, teacher? I'm sure a lot of students at Kivotos like you. If your intimate behavior towards Hinata-senpai were to get out today, it would probably cause an uproar, right?"

Xiaoya asked in confusion. According to her understanding of the teacher, the teacher should not do such a thing. Even towards Iori, the teacher did not do anything more extreme after licking the chocolate ice cream for the first time. And to be honest, Iori had never even held the teacher's hand.

The tall young man in front of him didn't avoid Xiaoya's question: "Xiaoya, Hina's spirit has been very low since she woke up last time, right?"

"Seems to be."

Xiaoya recalled that although she didn't have much contact with Hina, she always seemed depressed every time she saw her.

"Yes, Hinai is a very strong-willed child. She shoulders a lot of responsibilities. She used to handle most of Gehenna's administrative and security work.

"Now that she's lost her power, she no longer has to worry about Gehenna's safety. The sudden reduction in pressure has left a child like her with a strong sense of responsibility feeling overwhelmed. Furthermore, for Gehenna to have reached this point... Hinai has actually been blaming herself."

The teacher told him about his understanding of Hina. In fact, when he was at Trinity, he had met Hina several times due to work issues. At that time, Hina told him that she wanted to put down her burdens and retire.

But the teacher knew that with Hina's personality, it would be impossible for her to truly let go of Gehenna and choose to retire. She was busy with the peace treaty, which was not so much to pave the way for her retirement as to numb herself through work.

"So, Hinata can't accept herself being so weak and powerless right now. In order to cheer her up, I have to use some radical methods to distract her."

Listening to the teacher's explanation, Xiaoya realized that the teacher had done this on purpose, and that these actions were the result of careful consideration...

"But I might also have some feelings for Hinata."

Xiaoya hadn't finished her imagination yet when the teacher's last sentence interrupted her imagination. The case was solved. It turned out that the two were in love.

"Comrade Eri, Comrade Futaba, it's over! You can't even have soup!"

"Huh? Xiaoya, what's wrong with you?" The teacher asked puzzledly as she looked at Xiaoya who suddenly staggered.

Xiaoya waved her hands. She was just startled by the teacher's sudden turn of events. "No, it's okay. Let's go take care of the business first."

There was no railway line leading to the fishing village on the Fifth Campus side, so Xiaoya applied to the board of directors for a car, which was driven by a teacher, and they drove north along the highway.

The scenery along the way is nothing special, just a few scattered houses and woods. There are also many villages and towns along the way. These places have been established as subordinate organizations by the Spartacus Corps. It is worth mentioning that these villages and towns are at the same level as the community in terms of administrative hierarchy, and an autonomous system is also implemented here.

Of course, unlike the convenient supervision in urban communities, these villages and towns have not only elected village committees, but also cadres sent from the council headquarters. This is to prevent the village committees from becoming puppets controlled by local clans. Although this situation has not occurred yet, Xiaoya and the others decided to take precautions, after all, such things have been mentioned in ancient books.

"What do these villagers usually do? There doesn't seem to be any farmland here." Unlike the teacher in the outside world, the residents of the villages and towns in Kivotos do not cultivate fields outside, which makes the teacher wonder how the residents usually rely on to make a living.

"Well, they're usually employees of a certain capital group, working on the group's farms," ​​Xiaoya replied. She was no longer the naive student who didn't know what agriculture was. These days, she'd been visiting various locations around the Fifth Campus quite a bit. "Our crops are usually grown hydroponically in a highly concentrated nutrient solution. These villagers are employees of these agricultural capital groups. Of course, these agricultural groups here have been nationalized, and now those farms are directly operated by the college."

"So, you actually don't have any farmers here?" the teacher asked. This was a little hard for him to imagine, but when he thought of the outrageous productivity of Kivotos' food, which seemed to be freshly refreshed from the shelves, he felt relieved. He would find it strange if there were still farmers who relied on the weather for their livelihood under such productivity conditions.

Xiaoya scratched her head when she heard the teacher's question. Of course, this didn't mean that she had any opinion about the teacher. It was just that the teacher said a word that only existed in ancient books.

"Farmer, what a strange word! We only have agricultural workers here."

The teacher nodded. It was indeed like that. Only the powerful force of industry could make food look just like it was freshly taken from the shelves.

"Yes, teacher, it's over there. It seems that Comrade Meichuan is waiting for us."

Xiaoya pointed to a girl waving at them outside the window and said that this was Yoshirei Umekawa, who had made an appointment to wait for them there before they set off.

Born from the Flames of War: Chapter 20: Moon!@Yi#$First Release & Crossing Mountains and Ridges

"This way! This way!"

Xiaoya had read the archival materials. Meichuan Fangling was the secretary of the branch in charge of this area. Xiaoya was quite satisfied that she could go to the fishing village in person. Due to lack of manpower, many members of the Spartacus Group were busy with clerical work and could only visit some areas around them. Fangling's ability to go to the fishing village in person showed how much she valued work among the masses.

Under Fangling's instruction, the teacher parked the car on the side of the road.

This is the end of the road. The road only goes up to here. Further ahead is a muddy mountain road. It is difficult for Xiaoya and his friends to drive the car this time to pass on it.

"Comrade Chairman, and teacher, hello." Fang Ling waved to Xiaoya and the teacher. Although she had never met the teacher, she could guess that there was only one adult male in Kivotos without an aura. "From here, we can reach the fishing village by crossing these mountains."

Fangling turned and pointed at the mountain path. Xiaoya noticed that she was carrying three knives on her back. Xiaoya couldn't identify what kind of knives they were. The knives she had seen were mostly kitchen knives and fruit knives. This was the first time she had seen such a thick knife. However, the teacher could tell at a glance that it was a hatchet.

"Ah, this is a hatchet. To be honest, this is my first time using it. The mountain roads were blocked by branches last time I went there, so after I came back I wondered if there was any tool that could help me clear the way, and then I found this." Fang Ling took the hatchet and gave it to Xiaoya and the teacher. Xiaoya weighed it and felt it was quite light, not even as heavy as her gun.

Xiaoya thought of something else. The mountain path was completely obscured by branches. Didn't that mean no one had come out in ages? Xiaoya had also walked the dirt road. When she was in the Red Winter Exile Zone, although the traffic was relatively low, the dirt road leading to the outside world was still kept relatively clean. While there was no way to prevent the accumulation of snow due to frequent snowfall, the branches and shrubs were cleanly cut down.

Thinking of this, Xiaoya asked Fangling her own question.

Hearing Xiaoya's doubts, Fangling replied, "Yes, it's true that no one has walked this road for a long time. Maybe I'm the only one who has walked this road during this period."

Xiaoya scratched her head. If that was the case, how did the villagers get their daily necessities? Could they be self-sufficient?

"Let's go. It's getting late. Comrade Chairman, have you brought any supplies? Crossing these mountains will take almost a whole day, and once we get to the fishing village, the locals may not be willing to treat us to a meal. Well, you can pay, they'll still take it."
