Chapter 550: Chapter 248 Conversation Between Xu Shunkang and Class Teacher-040

"Mu Daxian... That guy actually dared to leave the Art Building..." Xu Shunkang seemed to know something, and as soon as he heard "carrying a drawing board", he was certain of Mu Daxian’s identity. His eyes flickered with a trace of worry.

"What happened to that person afterward? When did you see them?" Xu Shunkang asked urgently.

"Uh... It was during dinner last night. From the tone of their conversation, it seemed like there was no problem, right?" Lin Yi said, not entirely sure.

"This matter must be reported to Boss..." Xu Shunkang’s face became much more solemn, "With his status, it’s unlikely he would leave the Art Building... Something must have happened... I’m going to check out the classroom first, then head straight back to the Gymnasium."

"Hey, no, Xu Shunkang, I still have questions for you!" Lin Yi quickly jogged to catch up.

"Ah, that stuff isn’t urgent! You can ask Boss during physical education class! I’ve got urgent matters here, gotta run!"

"Hey! Xu Shunkang! Xu Shunkang! Don’t just leave, at least say something!" Lin Yi hurriedly called out, thinking to himself how could anything be so important that not even a quick chat was possible?

Xu Shunkang brushed off Lin Yi’s hand: "You already know about the ’Grey Mist Invasion’; have a deep talk with Boss during physical education class!"

"But, it’s only an hour, how deep can we go?"

"In times of trouble, you’ll understand as much as you can handle! I’m going back to update Boss on the situation first. You guys just get straight to the point later!" Xu Shunkang said, "Oh right, there is a girl named Li Huiyuan who was taken to the Gymnasium by the security guard last night. It seems she has some connection to you?"

Lin Yi thought to himself that Xu Shunkang had no time to answer his questions but still had time to ask him one—was it just questions without answers?

"Uh... I know her. It looks like she became a Sports Student?"

"That’s right, she’s temporarily a Sports Student now, and she’s learning with Boss." Xu Shunkang said, already having reached the classroom of Group B, Class 2, and he pushed open the door before looking towards Class Teacher-040 on the podium, "Sports Student Xu Shunkang, Sports Student ID ’Sun-X0221006033’."

As he spoke, he lifted the left side of his school uniform, apparently showing something to Class Teacher-040. Lin Yi, standing to his left and slightly behind him, couldn’t see anything.

But he did see Class Teacher-040’s gaze suddenly sharpen and then saw a slight nod as the teacher flipped through the files to a closer-to-the-front list, then marked it with a "√".

Xu Shunkang spoke and produced a sky-blue card, presenting it to Class Teacher-040.

"Additionally, I am following the physical education teacher’s order to report the casualty status of our class’s Sports Students from last night; this is the credential."

At his words, a hint of sorrow flashed in Class Teacher-040’s gentle eyes, and the initially lazy posture straightened up: "You speak, I’ll record."

Xu Shunkang then said, "Our class has a total of 18 Sports Students. Last night, three classmates sacrificed their lives, namely Li Minghua, Zhou Bohai, Guo Wen... If ’they’ are seen again in the Teaching Building, please be careful."

"Okay, I know what to do." Class Teacher-040 nodded slightly.

"Additionally, there were six students who were injured, who currently should not appear in the Teaching Building..." Xu Shunkang reported six Sports Students’ names, including Xie Huayang.

Class Teacher-040 marked each one: "Anything else?"

Xu Shunkang looked around the entire lecture classroom: "I originally wanted to check the casualty status inside the class. It seems most people haven’t returned?"

Class Teacher-040’s eyelids drooped slightly as she let out a sigh, "When I came to the classroom this morning, I only saw 14 people..."

"How many were there last night?"

"72."

"How many of those were Pseudo-Humans?"

At the mention of Pseudo-Humans, Class Teacher-040 paused and glanced at Lin Yi beside Xu Shunkang. That look seemed to say, "Someone is here; why did you let that term slip out?" Xu Shunkang followed her gaze to Lin Yi and then chuckled: "It’s okay, Little Linzi is semi-one of our own... he already knows some things."

Class Teacher-040 opened her mouth as if surprised but continued, "There were a total of 38 Pseudo-Humans, and 34 Experience Students... of them, I called out 8 to go to the dorms, and one was escorted by the security guard to the Gymnasium..."

"Li Huiyuan, we have already accepted her and have arranged a new Identity Credential for her; she will temporarily fight alongside us as a Sports Student." Xu Shunkang pondered, "So, you’re saying... there might have been about 24 people in the class yesterday..."

Class Teacher-040 said, "It’s possible that some followed the 8 to the dorms, but overall, the number should be about right..."

"Huh..." Xu Shunkang also sighed and couldn’t help but clench his fist, "Meaning... last night, just within our class, we lost at least half of the Experience Students."

He narrowed his eyes, a flicker of thought passing through them.

"These people... I wonder how many will turn out to be obstacles for us..."

Class Teacher-040 fell into silence, hesitated for a moment, then inquired, "How’s the overall situation at the Gymnasium?"

"We made it through the first wave," Xu Shunkang said, "With the teachers and Boss there... the problems shouldn’t be too severe..."

"I see... after all, it’s her." Class Teacher-040 seemed somewhat reassured, "By the way, can the Gymnasium offer refuge? If they can’t return to the dorms, can they go to the Gymnasium?"

Xu Shunkang thought for a moment and then said, "It should be possible... but I can’t guarantee it. I’m not too clear on this part; you’ll have to ask the teacher. If there’s really no other choice, they’ll have to come... but if they do, it might turn into ’all hands on deck.’
