232 Chapter 232 - Ultimate Class 3, Set Off! (1/2)
Plenty of people were coming and going under the arch of the city's north gate around this time, and the scene of a group of players lining up in four neat rows attracted the attention of many of these passersby. Gu Fei might be standing before them looking all dignified, yet with how he was regarding this group of students, it was apparent that he was trying his best to appear as if he did not know any of them.
”Just what is going on here?” some of the nearby players whispered to one another.
”I don't know!”
”Oh, I know! It's the army! The country finally sent an army into this game. China is beginning to attach importance to MMOs!” someone said excitedly.
”Go to hell! You've read too many YY novels. They are just a bunch of kids; maybe, they are all boy scouts?”
As the onlookers continued to discuss this matter, Gu Fei decided to make this even more awkward and embarrassing for the students. He looked at the team before him and said, ”Anyone in the class committee? A class monitor?”
A Warrior from one of the neat rows raised his hand and shouted, ”Sir, what's the matter?”
”Since the sports representative isn't here, you will stand in for now! Come out and take lead; we're setting off,” Gu Fei replied.
Wow! Teacher is pretty crafty for delegating such an embarrassing thing to me! The class monitor was about to faint. Doing this sort of thing in reality was naturally, yet doing it in a game was extremely embarrassing.
”Hurry up! Don't dawdle. Are you having fun making a spectacle in front of everyone?” Gu Fei urged.
This situation naturally embarrassed all the present students to the point of wanting to dig a hole for them to hide in. Now that they were given a way to escape the curious onlookers, they hatefully glared at their class monitor for hesitating and told him, ”Get it over with!”
The class monitor could feel tears streaming down his cheeks as he said aloud, ”Turn to your left and jog!”
All the students synchronized their steps and jogged out of Yunduan's north gate amid the crowd's sighs of awe upon witnessing the scene.
”Stay in neat formation when you're jogging. Why aren't you shouting your 'slogan'?” Gu Fei pointed out from behind.
”Spare us, sir!” All the students cried out. The 'slogan' that Gu Fei was referring to was of course the 'one, two, three, four' cry that they would shout whenever they jogged in an orderly fashion like this. It seemed that they no longer had any way of getting out of this without drawing the attention of everyone around them. Shouting that line was truly embarrassing and attention-grabbing, so everyone began to think to themselves, Was approaching teacher in the game a mistake?
”Fine. Just a simple chant in cadence will do. All your steps are in a mess. Class monitor!” Gu Fei shouted.
”One, two! One, two!” the class monitor helplessly called out as he became filled with misery internally. It seemed that being a class monitor was a mistake, as well.
Heading out from one of the city gates, the students met players along the way no matter which direction they chose to jog. The actions of the students were rigid, and they jogged in sync with one another, yet their heads hunkered lower and lower the more they ran, looking like a troop of headless corpse moving together from afar.
This continued on for an undetermined amount of time until they found themselves in a somewhat desolate and sparsely populated area. Some of the students felt baffled as it had been a long time since they heard anything from their teacher.
They turned their heads backward and saw that Gu Fei was about two hundred meters away from them, leisurely pacing behind them as they jogged in the wilderness outside of Yunduan City. All the students stopped jogging and waited for their teacher to catch up.
”Why are you stopping?! You all can't just stop unless I tell you to do so. Continue!” There were no outsiders around them now, so Gu Fei immediately took charge of commanding them.
The students continued onward as Gu Fei monitored their pace just like in the class, waiting for them to coordinate their movements perfectly before calling them to stand at attention.
”Are we there yet?” Gu Fei asked.
”What does teacher mean by 'there'?” the students asked, baffled.
”If we're not there yet, why are you all stopping?” Gu Fei asked.
The students looked at one another, ”Where ARE we going?”
”How will I know where you all are going?” Gu Fei retorted.
All the students suddenly felt lightness overcome them. They had done all this for nothing! Gu Fei had already found himself a scapegoat for this, ”Class monitor, where are you bringing the class to?”
The class monitor was already in tears, swearing to himself that he would drag the sports representative into the game once he returned to reality. In the meantime, he could only say, ”I don't know. I've been leading them out here blindly. I'm not even familiar with this map! Oh, that's right. We should let Ah Fa take the lead. He has been playing the game for the longest, so he should be the most familiar with Yunduan City's terrain!” The class monitor had a 'eureka' moment when he realized he needed not to drag the sports representative in the game when they had a savior right here.
Ah Fa was speechless. No one usually paid attention to him, yet they always called for him whenever they were in trouble. He was pretty much the most reluctant guild leader in all of Yunduan City.
Gu Fei did not dwell on this problem for long and just continued to ask, ”Then, what did you look for me today for?”
”Sir, join our guild!”
”Sir, bring us to grind levels!”
”Sir, carry us for quests!”
